Objective: to assess the relationship between inadequate functional health literacy and inadequate blood pressure control in older people with hypertension in Primary Health Care. Method: a cross-sectional study with sample calculated at 392. SAHLPA-18 tool was used for functional health literacy; blood pressure was measured; sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. Hierarchical logistic regression was used. Results: (high) inadequate blood pressure and (low) functional inadequate health literacy were present in 41.6% and 54.6% of the people, respectively. Factors associated with inadequate blood pressure were: inadequate functional health literacy, black-brown skin color, overweight-obesity, hypertension diagnosis time, non-adherence to exercise/diet, drug treatment. Schooling had no association with inadequate blood pressure Conclusion: hypertensive elderly people with inadequate health literacy were more likely to have inadequate blood pressure. Thus, health professionals need to value functional health literacy as a possible component to control blood pressure.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a syndrome secondary to permanent alteration in the function and/or structure of the kidney, presenting a slow and progressive evolution. Hemodialysis is the most used form of treatment in the elderly with CKD, a treatment that generates limitations and impacts that affect both the individual's life and that of the family. The objective of this study is to analyze, in the current literature, the quality of life of elderly people undergoing hemodialysis treatment. This is a scope review, according to the review method proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The descriptors elderly, quality of life and hemodialysis were used in the databases National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Database in Nursing - Brazilian Bibliography (BDENF). A total of 250 were found, of which 08 met the established inclusion criteria. This review shows that hemodialysis treatment in the elderly has an impact on the quality of life of this population, however there is still a gap in the literature on the subject.
A síndrome de Burnout é um esgotamento físico e mental relacionado ao trabalho que pode ser oriundo de sobrecarga ou excesso de trabalho. A detecção da síndrome de Burnout na prática clínica dos profissionais da equipe de enfermagem é de suma importância, pois previne agravos à saúde física, mental, bem como afastamentos do trabalho. Devido à complexidade do agravo é fundamental a adoção de medidas preventivas no cotidiano dos profissionais de enfermagem. Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar o levantamento de dados relacionados à prevalência da síndrome de Burnout na equipe de enfermagem na clínica médica do referido hospital, visando demonstrar a influência do trabalho no surgimento da síndrome. Trata-se de um estudo observacional do tipo transversal, descritivo de abordagem quantitativa que foi realizado com 48 profissionais membros da equipe de enfermagem da unidade de clínica médica no período de setembro a outubro de 2022, através da aplicação de questionários. Os dados coletados serão transformados em gráficos e os resultados obtidos serão descritos.
