Background The impact of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), causing the disease COVID-19, has brought losses to the world in terms of deaths, economic and health problems. The expected return of the public to activities adapted to the new health situation led to discussions about the use of vaccination and its effects. However, the demand for proof of vaccination showed how inconsistent, unregistered, and uncontrolled this health process is with current technologies. Despite the proven effectiveness of vaccines in reducing infection rates, mortality, and morbidity, there are still doubts about their use in preventing certain infections and injuries, as well as the use of digital medical records for identification at public events and disease prevention. Therefore, this review aims to analyze the use of digital immunization cards in disease prevention in general. Methods A systematic review of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS /BSV, CINALH, and IEEE and Xplore was performed using PRISMA guidelines. The authors summarized the studies conducted over the last decade on the impacts of prophylaxis by control through immunization cards. Studies were selected using the following terms: Vaccination; Mobile Applications; Health Smarts Cards; Immunization Programs; Vaccination Coverage. For data analysis, we used Mendeley, Excel, RStudio, and Bibliometrix software among others. Results A total of 1828 publications were found. After applying eligibility criteria (Articles published in Portuguese, Spanish or English in the last 10 years). Studies that only dealt with paper or physical records were excluded, as well as studies that were not linked to their country’s health Department, as a possibility of bias exists with these types of information). After removing duplicates and applying filters 1 and 2, we included 18 studies in this review. This resulted in 18 papers that met our priori inclusion criteria; it was found that the most relevant sources were from the databases of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Conclusions Considering the selected studies, we found that scientific evidence and epidemiological surveillance are essential tools to characterize the efficiency and effectiveness of immunization passport protection intervention and to ethically justify them. Technological development of digital vaccine passports can assist in vaccination programs and positively impact disease prophylaxis.
Purpose: To identify the effectiveness of protocols in the functional rehabilitation process in the postoperative treatment of the hip. Methods: This is a systematic review study, composed of 4 blind and independent evaluators divided into three schematic phases. For the construction of this manuscript, the Recommendation Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes was applied. The descriptors used were: "rehabilitation", "physical therapy", "arthroplasty" and "hip" using the Boolean operator “AND” between each of them in the indexing bases. Results: Initially, 136 studies were found in LILACS, MEDLINE, MEDCARIB, PAHO-IRIS and WHOLIS, 99 studies in MEDLINE and 08 articles in PEDro. After reading the abstracts, 13 studies were selected, which were carefully analyzed. Discussion: Among the thirteen selected articles, the main clinical effects observed in the evaluated protocols were: improved functionality, quality of life, reduced pain, increased muscle strength. Conclusion: The functional rehabilitation of postoperative hip arthroplasty was significant in protocols that adopted early physical therapy intervention. These protocols resulted in rapid improvement in functionality, reduction of pain and quality of life. These improvements were also seen in protocols applied at home.
Introdução: A pandemia da COVID-19 vem impactando na saúde emocional e na rotina de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da pandemia da COVID-19 na saúde emocional e na rotina do trabalho dos fisioterapeutas oncológicos brasileiros. Métodos: Estudo transversal online anônimo, no qual 102 fisioterapeutas oncológicos foram recrutados de diferentes regiões do país, usando amostras de conveniência de bolas de neve nas mídias sociais. Dados sociodemográficos, referentes à formação e atuação profissional foram avaliados, além dos sintomas de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse. Resultados: A maioria dos fisioterapeutas era do sexo feminino (n = 89,87,3%), com média de idade de 33,8 ± 7,1 anos e especialista em fisioterapia oncológica (n = 84,82,5%). Quanto mais jovens mais estressados eram os profissionais (p = 0,022). A maioria manteve os atendimentos presenciais (n = 89, 87,3%) e o sintoma de estresse apresentou maior pontuação (6,9 ± 4,4). O aumento na jornada de trabalho e a transferência para outras unidades de trabalho resultaram em maiores sintomas de ansiedade (p = 0,016) e de estresse (p = 0,011). Conclusão: Concluímos que a pandemia afetou negativamente a rotina de trabalho e a saúde emocional de fisioterapeutas oncológicos no Brasil.
