Objetivo: Realizar uma Revisão de Literatura acerca da assistência de enfermagem a partir da consulta remota. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura em seis etapas, a partir do cruzamento dos descritores Enfermagem e “Consulta Remota” pela lógica booleana. A estratégia de busca foi realizada no portal de pesquisa Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde entre novembro e dezembro de 2020. Resultados: A combinação dos descritores resultou em 8 publicações, que após seleção e leitura na íntegra foram selecionados 4 para inclusão nesta revisão. Para a discussão dos artigos selecionados, foram elencadas duas categorias temáticas, sendo elas: A Teleconsulta de enfermagem, educação em saúde e a individualização do cuidado e A telesaúde e a aproximação das barreiras geográficas. Considerações finais: A Teleconsulta de enfermagem é uma pratica inovadora que pode auxiliar os pacientes no melhor gerenciamento de sua condição de patológica através da educação em saúde e empoderamento do sujeito para lidar com as adversidades da doença no ambiente domiciliar.
Given the magnitude of COVID-19 and the increase in hospitalization cases for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), especially among patients with diabetes mellitus, it is essential to understand the epidemiological aspects inherent to the disease and the worsening of cases. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the survival of patients with diabetes mellitus hospitalized for SARS due to COVID-19 in different regions of Brazil. This is a longitudinal study, carried out based on data reported in the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System during the year 2020. The number of patients with diabetes mellitus among the hospitalized cases of SARS due to COVID-19 in the different regions of Brazil and the lethality rate among them were identified. A comparison of patient profiles of those who survived or did not survive and the Cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate the factors associated with shorter survival of patients. It was found that 51.4% of patients hospitalized with SARS due to COVID-19 had diabetes, and the case lethality rate among them was 45.0%. The Northeastern and Northern regions presented a higher proportion of patients with diabetes mellitus (56.5% and 54.3%, respectively) and a higher lethality rate (53.8% and 59.9%, respectively). The mean survival time of cases with diabetes mellitus hospitalized for SARS due to COVID-19 was estimated to be 35.7 days (0.5 days). A lower survival rate was observed among residents of the Northeastern and Northern regions with skin color reported as non-white, who required admission to Intensive Care Units and invasive mechanical ventilation, and presented respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, respiratory distress and an oxygen saturation lower than 95%. It is concluded that diabetes mellitus was responsible for the high occurrence and lethality, mainly in the Northeastern and Northern regions, among non-white patients and those with greater clinical severity, which reinforces the importance of taking measures aimed at supporting this population.
This study aimed to analyze the profile of hospitalizations and factors associated with the deaths of children and adolescents with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) caused by SARS-CoV-2 nationwide. The study comprised 6,843 children and adolescents hospitalized in 2020 who tested positive for COVID-19, based on data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System. Sociodemographic and clinical profiles, hospitalization frequency, lethality and recovery rates were analyzed. The outcome was recovery or death. The 6,843 children and adolescents comprised 1.9% of SARI hospitalized cases (n = 563,051). Of these, 57.7% developed critical SARI and 90% survived. Comorbidities were present in 40.8%, especially asthma, immunodepression, and neurological and cardiovascular diseases. The main symptoms were fever, cough, dyspnea, respiratory distress, and low oxygen saturation. Among those with critical SARI, 91.4% died. There was a higher frequency of children, especially those under five years of age and of mixed ethnicity. The highest hospitalization frequency occurred in the Southeastern and Northeastern regions, the highest recovery rates in the Southeastern and Southern regions, and the highest lethality rates in the Northern and Northeastern regions. Deaths were associated with ages ranging from 12 to 19 and being under one year of age, living in the Northern and Northeastern regions, progression to critical SARI, and having immunosuppression and cardiovascular disease. In contrast, asthma was associated with lower death rates. The frequency of complications and mortality rates caused by SARS-Cov-2 in the pediatric population are relevant, as well as the severity of the epidemic in the social inequality context and the health services' frailty.
Objetivo: analisar os aspectos epidemiológicos e os fatores associados à sobrevida de pacientes críticos com diagnóstico de Covid-19. Método: estudo de coorte não concorrente, com informações de 205 pacientes críticos com Covid-19. Resultados: a incidência e a letalidade de Covid-19 foram, respectivamente, 60,3% e 46,8%. O tempo médio de sobrevida dos pacientes foi de 21,8 dias e os fatores associados à menor sobrevida foram: pontuação elevada no Simplified Acute Physiology Score, menor tempo de ventilação mecânica, alteração do nível de consciência, utilização de cateter venoso central, presença de coagulopatias e necessidade de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar. Pacientes em oxigenoterapia por cateter nasal apresentaram maior sobrevida. Conclusão: observou-se elevada incidência e letalidade da doença entre os pacientes críticos, sendo a menor sobrevida relacionada a indicadores de maior gravidade do quadro clínico. Os resultados obtidos subsidiam enfermeiros no planejamento da assistência ao paciente, buscando minimizar o risco de óbito.
O suicídio sempre esteve presente ao longo da história humana, o mesmo possui determinantes multifatoriais e se resulta de uma complexa interação de fatores sociais, psicológicos e biológicos. Atualmente vemos no Brasil um crescente aumento dos números de suicídio, prova disso são os 5.178.450 de Anos Potenciais de Vida Perdidos nas últimas duas décadas em decorrência deste. Ante ao supracitado, a Liga Acadêmica de Saúde Mental Nise da Silveira (LANS), realizou o Workshop: Prevenção do Suicídio. O Workshop foi realizado no primeiro semestre de 2017 e contou com 15 participantes, dentre estes estavam enfermeiros e discentes de enfermagem. Percebeu-se a sensibilização dos participantes do Workshop com a temática, sobretudo pelo compartilhamento de relatos e vivências. Por fim, destacamos que o suicídio pode ser prevenido, queremos então, por meio do presente incentivar profissionais e futuros profissionais a entenderem que podem atuar, colaborando para que as outras pessoas enxerguem as múltiplas maneiras de viver, ampliando suas possibilidades existenciais, no sentido de refletir que a morte não é a única saída para a dor e desespero humano.
