Objetivo: apreender o significado do cuidar da pessoa idosa no domicílio sob a ótica do familiar. Método: estudo qualitativo, fundamentado no referencial teórico do interacionismo simbólico, realizado no ano de 2015, no município de Guanambi-Bahia, com 22 familiares que cuidam de pessoas idosas. Utilizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas para a coleta de dados, e a análise foi feita segundo Bardin. Resultados: os significados do cuidar de pessoas idosas permeiam pela retribuição, reciprocidade e gratidão pelos cuidados anteriormente recebidos; pelo dever e obrigação moral alicerçados em bases culturais; pelo compromisso conjugal e pela ausência de outras pessoas para o cuidado. Conclusão: os familiares cuidam de seus entes idosos, porém, significam esse cuidado de maneira diferente, uma vez que esses processam o cuidado a partir da forma como o fenômeno se apresentou em sua vida social e baseada nas relações/interações estabelecidas anteriormente. Palavras-chave: Idoso; Cuidadores; Relações Familiares. ABSTR ACT Objective: To grasp the meanings of providing homecare for the elderly from the perspective of family members. Method: qualitative study based on the theoretical framework of Symbolic Interaction, held in the city of Guanambi, Bahia, with 22 family members who cared for older people in the year 2015. We used semi-structured interviews for data collection and Bardin's content analysis. Results: the meanings of caring for elderly are permeated by retribution, reciprocity and gratitude for the previously received care; duty and moral obligation founded on cultural precepts; conjugal commitment and absence of other people to provide the care. Conclusion: the family member provides the care for their elderly loved relatives, but they give different meanings to that care, as they process the provision of care from the way the phenomenon is presented in their social life and is based on previously established relationship interactions.
To determine the prevalence of prehypertension (PH) and hypertension (AH) in quilombola children and adolescents, as well as to analyze sociodemographic, behavioral, and health characteristics.Prevalence study conducted in random samples of quilombola children and adolescents from 06 to 19 years of age, in remaining quilombo communities in Cachoeira-Bahia. Identification, sociodemographic, behavioral, anthropometric, and blood pressure (BP) data were used. Descriptive analyses of the variables of interest were performed based on absolute (N) and included frequencies (percentage, prevalence). Pearson's Chi-square (x2) and Fisher Exact tests determined possible differences.Of the 668 participants, 54.3% were children, 51.2% were male, and 29.4% presented alterations in BP. PH and AH were found in 12.7% and 14.3% of the children, respectively; for adolescents, these values were 12.5% and 15.4%, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between the prevalence of AH in the 2 population groups, nor between the PH measurements. Most families reported a low socioeconomic status. Among children, 6.6% were underweight, 14.6% were overweight, 10.7% were obese, 12.7% presented a Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) > 0.5; 70.1% were inactive and 88.4% had a sedentary lifestyle; 5.6% of the adolescents were underweight, 12.8% were overweight, 9.2% were obese, 11.5% presented a WHtR > 0.5; 78% were inactive and 92.1% had a sedentary lifestyle. Normotensive children and adolescents, and those with alterations in BP differed only in terms of the Body Mass Index (P = .007) and WHtR (P < .001). The consumption of unhealthy foods was high.The high prevalence of PH and AH, as well as of exposure to potential risk factors for AH in quilombola children and adolescents, reveals a worrisome situation, and demands further studies to identify risk factors for this disease and the need for interventions beyond the health sector, especially as regards disease prevention and control in the early stages of life, aiming to reduce its prevalence as adults.Abbreviations: AH = arterial hypertension, BMI = body mass index, BP = blood pressure, PH = prehypertension, WHtR = waist to height ratio.
Objetivo: Investigar o que dizem as evidências científicas sobre a amamentação como fator de proteção para a alergia à proteína do leite de vaca (APLV) na infância. Métodos: Revisão integrativa da literatura. Foram selecionados 7 artigos, consultados a partir dos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde “fatores de risco, alergia e leite de vaca”, os quais foram combinados pelo uso do operador Booleano AND. Os critérios de inclusão foram publicações dos últimos 5 anos em inglês, português e espanhol. Foram excluídos os trabalhos repetidos e aqueles que não respondiam à pergunta de pesquisa proposta. Resultados: Todos os artigos consultados apontaram para a amamentação como uma forma de prevenção de alergias, caracterizando o leite materno como o alimento adequado na prevenção de APLV. Diante disso, o tempo de manutenção do aleitamento materno exclusivo foi caracterizado como estatisticamente significativo para a ocorrência de APLV e o leite materno como fator de proteção contra alergias, dentre as quais a APLV. Considerações finais: Considerando-se que a APLV é a alergia mais comum na infância, com diversas manifestações que comprometem a saúde e a qualidade de vida da criança, é importante estimular a prática do aleitamento materno como uma forma de promover a saúde da criança.
Objective: to analyze racial biases in the context of morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 of Brazilian pregnant women from an intersectional perspective. Method: an ecological, documental study using epidemiological bulletins intended to monitor the novel coronavirus in Brazil. Data were collected in March and April 2021 and analyzed using descriptive statistics mediated by the intersectional theory-based methodology. Results: Afro-descendant pregnant women presented an average prevalence rate of 65.18% hospitalizations and 70.85% deaths due to COVID-19 in 2020. On the other hand, the average prevalence rate of hospitalizations and deaths among Caucasian pregnant women was 32.32% and 27.23%, respectively. Conclusion: A greater difficulty to access prenatal care, a high prevalence rate of comorbidities, poor working conditions and impossibility to leave work during the pandemic, institutional racism, and necropolitics adopted by the Brazilian government are potential explanations for the vulnerable context faced by this population.
