Objetivo: Descrever a experiência de acadêmicos de enfermagem vivenciada durante a campanha de vacinação contra a pandemia do novo Coronavírus. Relato de experiência: Trata-se de um relato de experiência do tipo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, em relação à campanha de vacinação da COVID-19 do grupo prioritário dos idosos durante o período de pandemia, desenvolvido por acadêmicos de enfermagem de uma Universidade Pública Federal localizada na cidade de Belém, no estado do Pará, realizado em março de 2021. A ação foi efetuada por intermédio da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SESMA) do município e coordenada por uma enfermeira da mesma instituição. A campanha deu-se início com a faixa etária de 84 anos ou mais do grupo correspondente. Considerações finais: Através da vivência na campanha de vacinação contra a COVID-19 foi possível perceber a importância da vacinação para a sociedade e o papel principal que a enfermagem exerce frente à campanha vacinal, além da experiência adquirida quanto acadêmicos e futuros enfermeiros.
Background: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of HIV and syphilis and associated factors among elderly people from subnormal agglomerations in a city in the Brazilian Amazon. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was carried out in a subnormal agglomerate from the Brazilian Amazon. Data collection was conducted from August 2021 to February 2022, using a structured questionnaire. Whole blood samples were collected to perform a rapid test for HIV and syphilis. People aged 50 and over were included in the study, and the sample consisted of 213 participants. The odds ratio was calculated by multiple logistic regression. Results: A total of 203 participants with a mean age of 63.5 years were considered (95% CI: 62.4; 64.6; standard deviation: 8.1; minimum age: 50 years and maximum age: 94 years). The prevalence of either HIV or syphilis was 16.4% (35/213; 95% CI: 0.11; 0.21); syphilis was 15.5% (33/213) and HIV was 1.40% (3/213). One coinfection (0.46%; 1/213) was registered. In the final multiple logistic regression, the elderly with an education level of illiterate/elementary were two times more likely to have a positive rapid test result for HIV or syphilis. Conclusions: Testing for HIV and syphilis identified that STI represented a burden on populations affected by socioeconomic inequality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
