RESUMO:OBJETIVO: Comparar o controle postural de meninas adolescentes com e sem sintomas de asma, estudantes de uma escola pública, em um município da Fronteira Oeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. MÉTODOS: As meninas foram selecionadas através do questionário ISAAC (International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood), que visa mostrar a prevalência de sintomas de asma, alergias e rinite. O mesmo é composto de 8 perguntas referentes aos sinais e sintomas e a última sobre diagnóstico, ao atingir a pontuação 5, o indivíduo pode ser considerado com sintomas de asma. O controle postural foi avaliado através de posturografia dinâmica computadorizada, por meio dos Testes de Organização Sensorial (TOS), divididos em seis condições sensoriais. RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo 20 meninas de 10 anos de idade, sendo 10 do grupo controle (GC) e 10 crianças com sintomas de asma (GA). É possível observar que em ambos os grupos, o excesso de peso (sobrepeso+obesidade) esteve presente na maioria das avaliadas. As meninas com sintomas de asma apresentaram pior equilíbrio na condição II dos TOS (P=0,048), quando comparadas ao grupo assintomático, evidenciando assim, maior déficit no sistema proprioceptivo e vestibular. CONCLUSÃO: Meninas adolescentes com sintomas de asma apresentam déficit no controle postural, principalmente no sistema proprioceptivo e vestibular.
Introduction: the use of digital technologies for health education practices with children and adolescents began to be used on a large scale, based on the need for social distancing generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: to know the perception of university students about the use of digital technologies for health education practices with children and adolescents. Method: qualitative, descriptive research, with university students belonging to nursing, physiotherapy and nutrition courses with previous experiences in research and extension, from the northwest region and the border of southern Brazil. Data collection took place in two stages, through a script prepared in Google Docs® for the purpose of characterizing the participants and the second stage through structured interviews in Google Meet®. The utterances were transcribed and subjected to thematic content analysis. Results: Two categories emerged "Use of digital media for education in times of pandemic" and "Use of digital technologies by children and adolescents". Final considerations: from the perspective of university students, the use of digital technologies starts earlier and earlier, and they understand that health education practices through digital media were essential after the pandemic, for maintaining the bond, guidance, communication and autonomy for the care of children and adolescents.
