INTRODUCTION: Home health care is a practice that goes back to the very existence of families as a unit of social organization. In Brazil, home care covers several aspects, actions of visits, visits and home hospitalizations.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the scientific production of the nurse, doctor and psychologist in the home visit of the elderly in Primary Care in Brazil.METHOD: This is a narrative review using the OMNIS search tool (PUCRS) and uses the following descriptors: “home visit” and “elderly” or “elderly health”. We included articles from the last 10 years (2008-2018), peer reviewed and available in English, Portuguese or Spanish.RESULTS: we found the following publications: 22 in Nursing, 19 in Medicine and 12 in Psychology. After the complete reading of the selected articles, we opted for the analysis of 10 studies in the area of Nursing, 8 in Medicine and 4 in Psychology.CONCLUSIONS: There was a lack of scientific material directly related to the subject in Medicine and Psychology. In the area of Nursing, the articles were more specific about the role of nurses in the management of care.
Introdução: O envelhecimento populacional traz consigo o aumento de doenças crônicas, dentre elas as disfunções cognitivas, sendo os distúrbios neurocognitivos associados ao HIV (HAND) uma delas. Objetivo: Verificar as publicações dos últimos cinco anos referente aos mecanismos patogênicos e aos fatores de risco envolvidos nos transtornos cognitivos associados ao HIV em pacientes com 50 anos ou mais. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nas bases dados – PUBMED/MEDLINE; BVS/LILACS e SCOPUS, com artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2019 sobre a temática em questão. Resultados: A busca resultou em 345 citações. Após a leitura completa dos trabalhos realizados de forma independente por dois revisores, chegou-se a elegibilidade de 11 artigos. Conclusões: Dos 11 estudos selecionados, 6 referem-se a pesquisas envolvendo temas relacionados com a neurologia, abordando neuroimagem, redes de conectividades e metabolismo cerebral; 3 pesquisas contemplam a relação da TARV e da carga viral com a incidência e prevalência da HAND e os últimos 2 trabalhos estão relacionados às atuais pesquisas com marcadores de remodelamento vascular e lipídios no fisiopatogenia da HAND. São necessárias mais pesquisas que possam correlacionar a HAND com fatores de risco e esclarecer de uma forma mais concisa seus mecanismos patogênicos na população idosa.
Background Only few studies have investigated the association between breast center characteristics such as teaching status, number of patients, whether clinical trials are conducted, or whether breast care nurses are employed and patients’ perceptions of care. Objective: The aim of the study was to determine whether or not the satisfaction of newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients with nursing staff correlates with hospital characteristics after adjusting for relevant patient characteristics. The study is part of a national process-identifying project focusing on breast cancer of the MAGS NRW (Ministry of work, health and social affairs, North Rhine Westfalia, Germany). Methods: Multilevel regression analysis was applied combining data from newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients (n= 3733) on patient characteristics and satisfaction with nursing staff and data on characteristics of the hospitals (n= 93 breast centers in Germany) in which patients were treated. Patients’ perspectives were measured for six month using the Cologne Patient Questionnaire for Breast Cancer (CPQ-BC), the other informations and hospital characteristics were collected by medical personnel. Results: Full data of 2945 patients from 81 hospitals were analysed in the multilevel logistic regression model. The odds for patients being satisfied with nursing staff were significantly higher in hospitals which employed breast care nurses at the time of the survey. At the patient level, patients were significantly more likely to be satisfied with nursing staff if they were native speakers, and with higher self-rated health. Cross-level interaction analysis suggested that higher patient satisfaction resulting from employing breast care nurses was largely limited to native speaking patients. Other hospital characteristics were not significantly associated with the perception of nursing staff (teaching hospital, required number of surgeries, clinical trial participation). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that patient satisfaction with nursing staff is higher if breast care nurses are employed in the treating hospital. Further work will focus on the description of the breast care nurses work as it is interpreted individually in every breast center. However, only the satisfaction of native speakers was significantly higher when breast care nurses were employed. Implications for Practice: Findings suggest that hospitals should invest in employing specialist nurses. Special attention should be paid to the care of non-native speaking patients.

Aims: to analyze the current Brazilian and of the state of Rio Grande do Sul epidemiological situation of visceral leishmaniasis (LVH) in the elderly and verifythe mortality coefficient.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a secondary data source, taken from SINAN data from January 2013 to December 2017, with confirmed visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil and Rio Grande do Sul, which are tabulated in Excel and analyzed with Epiinfo 7.Results: cases of LVH in the elderly have increased in the last 5 years, within the Brazilian and the state of Rio Grande do Sul settings. Although not widely reported, it is frequent to compromise and increase the proportion of elderly people who die from LVH, which was 20,3% of the cases in the period from 2013 to 2017, demonstrating the seriousness of the infection in this public. In our study we also found a strong relation between age and the increase in the lethality coefficient, reaching 46.87% in 2016.Discussion: One of the recent strategies in the fight against HVL is the slaughter of dogs that contains the parasite responsible for the transmission of the disease, but this method of control has not been very effective. Thus, the immunoprophylactic measurement by Leish-Tec® vaccine has a favorable effect in the fight against the disease only in animals that are not in high transmission areas.
Introdução: O Brasil, bem como os países em desenvolvimento passaram por uma mudança epidemiológica nos últimos 30 anos. Se antes se destacavam as doenças contagiosas, atualmente, o cenário impera as Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNT). Atualmente no Brasil destacam-se como Doenças negligenciadas (DNs): Doença de Chagas, Leishmanioses, Malária, Hanseníase, Tuberculose, Dengue, Febre Amarela, Raiva, Hantavírus, Hepatites virais, Gastroenterites virais, Rotavírus, entre outras. Não só prevalecem em condições de pobreza, mas também contribuem para a manutenção do quadro de desigualdade social. A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) propôs recentemente essa denominação doenças negligenciadas, referindo-se àquelas enfermidades, geralmente transmissíveis, que apresentam maior ocorrência nos países em desenvolvimento. Objetivo: Conhecer as doenças negligenciadas prevalentes em idosos. Metodologia: revisão integrativa da literatura cientifica, usando a base de dados BVS, utilizando os descritores: Negligenciadas e Idosos. Resultados parciais: Na primeira parte do estudo foi realizada uma busca em que foram encontrados 605 artigos. Após aplicados os filtros da pesquisa no site, com os termos idosos, doenças negligenciadas, internacionais e tropicais, apareceram 50 artigos, a maioria em inglês, entre 2011 e 2018, sendo que 7 deles são vinculados ao Brasil. Em uma leitura preliminar, apenas 14 estão relacionados diretamente com a temática em estudo, porém não encontramos artigos que tratam apenas de revisar as doenças em idosos. Conclusões: foi encontrada escassa literatura sobre Doenças Negligenciadas, mormente em idosos, e os artigos fazem referência ao tema relatando especialmente sobre doenças como Lepra, Malária, Leishmaniose, Parasitoses intestinais. O seguimento do estudo prevê a análise do texto completo destes 14 artigos, pois muitos deles contêm elementos de análise com algum detalhamento do número de idosos em tabelas e quadros, o que exige a confecção de uma tabela mais pormenorizada.
