Objective: to analyze scientific evidence regarding the relationship between the type of birth and the microbiota acquired by newborns. Method: this integrative review addresses the role of the type of delivery on newborns’ microbial colonization. A search was conducted in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online/PubMed and Virtual Health Library databases using the descriptors provided by Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Health Science Descriptors (DeCS). Results: infants born vaginally presented a greater concentration of Bacteroides, Bifidobacteria, and Lactobacillus in the first days of life and more significant microbial variability in the following weeks. The microbiome of infants born via C-section is similar to the maternal skin and the hospital setting and less diverse, mainly composed of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Clostridium. Conclusion: the maternal vaginal microbiota provides newborns with a greater variety of colonizing microorganisms responsible for boosting and preparing the immune system. Vaginal birth is the ideal birth route, and C-sections should only be performed when there are medical indications.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze adherence to the recommended iron, zinc and multivitamin supplementation guidelines for preemies, the factors associated with this adherence, and the influence of adherence on the occurrence of anemia and iron, zinc and vitamin A deficiencies.METHODS:This prospective cohort study followed 58 preemies born in 2014 until they reached six months corrected age. The preemies were followed at a referral secondary health service and represented 63.7% of the preterm infants born that year. Outcomes of interest included high or low adherence to iron, zinc and multivitamin supplementation guidelines; prevalence of anemia; and prevalences of iron, zinc, and vitamin A deficiencies. The prevalence ratios were calculated by Poisson regression.RESULTS:Thirty-eight (65.5%) preemies presented high adherence to micronutrient supplementation guidelines. At six months of corrected age, no preemie had vitamin A deficiency. The prevalences of anemia, iron deficiency and zinc deficiency were higher in the low-adherence group but also concerning in the high-adherence group. Preemies with low adherence to micronutrient supplementation guidelines were 2.5 times more likely to develop anemia and 3.1 times more likely to develop zinc deficiency. Low maternal education level increased the likelihood of nonadherence to all three supplements by 2.2 times.CONCLUSIONS:Low maternal education level was independently associated with low adherence to iron, zinc and vitamin A supplementation guidelines in preemies, which impacted the prevalences of anemia and iron and zinc deficiencies at six months of corrected age.

Resumo Com o intuito de fortalecer as políticas públicas de saúde voltadas para a temática do aleitamento materno, os Bancos de Leite Humano (BLH) têm cumprido importante papel assistencial junto às puérperas e nutrizes, no sentido de promover, proteger e apoiar esta prática. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática para identificar as atividades dos BLH que demonstrem seu papel na promoção da saúde materno infantil. A pesquisa foi realizada nos portais de pesquisa PubMed e na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, sendo as buscas realizadas também pelo portal da Rede Brasileira de Bancos de Leite Humano. Após as buscas com os descritores foram incluídos 11 artigos. Os temas abordados foram sobre o perfil das doadoras de leite humano; a importância das informações recebidas dos profissionais do BLH para manutenção do aleitamento materno durante a internação de prematuros e; o ganho de peso em bebês prematuros que receberam leite humano; o apoio ao aleitamento materno por meio das ações do BLH e fatores que levaram à doação de leite humano. As ações desenvolvidas pelos BLH repercutem positivamente na promoção da saúde materno infantil, representando uma estratégia importante de promoção ao aleitamento e de apoio a amamentação dos bebês que não podem mamar diretamente no peito.

Drugs abuse is a complex phenomenon with many causes, and it affects children and adolescents. The objective of this research was to seek scientific evidence that contributes to the understanding of the existing relation between the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents and the family. The method used was the integrative review. The bases analyzed were: MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane, BDENF and IBECS. Descriptors: cocaine, crack, family and family relationships. Three categories were evidenced: Family environment as a protector and/or facilitator for the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents; Lack of knowledge and the repercussions of the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents in the family environment; Networks to support the family and coping with the use of crack and other drugs. The family environment has a protective function against the use of drugs, but the issue of drugs has to be faced and addressed. It is also necessary to strengthen the social networks and discuss prevention themes.

The aim of the study was to learn about the parents' coping experiences regarding the mental suffering of their children. This is an ethnographic study. Data was analyzed through content analysis. Three categories have been identified: 1. Coping with everyday situations 2. Understanding of mental suffering as a life situation; 3. Fear of the future, feeling of social and governmental helplessness. Mental suffering imposes situations that need to be quickly resolved on families and arrangements in an attempt to balance the family system; family members coexist with mental suffering in the perspective of a chronic illness, and seek coping mechanisms for day-to-day situations; lastly they fear the future of their sick relatives and feel helpless due to public policies. Research is needed in the area to assess the impact of this issue on the lives of families, institutions and public policies.
