Tendo como referencial teórico o "modelo de ajuda" cujos elementos são: atender, responder, personalizar, orientar, envolver-se, explorar, compreender, agir; realizou-se o estudo analisando o relacionamento que se estabelece entre auxiliar de enfermagem e clientela em duas unidades de saúde enfocando o acolhimento. Quatro casos típicos são apresentados, mostrando que nem sempre as relações são personalizadas, cliente e auxiliar não se envolvem na relação, há maior preocupação com as habilidades técnicas que com acolhimento. Na mesma unidade, há posturas diversas no comunicar-se. O acolhimento ainda deve ser incorporado aos procedimentos das unidades, ao mesmo tempo que deve transcender o caráter rotineiro do cotidiano.
SUMMARYAfter a gastroenteritis outbreak of unknown etiology in the municipality of Sebastião da Grama, São Paulo, Brazil, we conducted a parasitological survey to establish the epidemiological profile of enteroparasitosis in children and staff members attending the public urban schools in operation in town. The cross-sectional study evaluated 172 children aged 11 months to 6 years old and 33 staff members aged 19 to 58 years old. Overall, 96 (55.81%) children and 20 (60.61%) staff members were mono-parasitized, while 58 (33.72%) children and 4 (12.12%) workers were poly-parasitized. Protozoa (88.37%; 72.73%) was more prevalent than helminthes (3.48%; 0%) in children and staff members respectively. Blastocystis spp. was the most prevalent parasite in children (86.63%) and staff members (66.67%). The age of 1 year old or less was found to be associated with increased prevalence of giardiasis [OR = 13.04; 95%CI 2.89-58.91; p = 0.00] and public garbage collection was identified as a protective factor against intestinal helminth infections [OR = 0.06; 95%CI 0.00-0.79; p = 0.03]. Although most of the children tested positive for Blastocystis spp. and also presented clinical signs/symptoms (62.2%), this association was not statistically significant [OR = 1.35; 95%CI 0.53-3.44; p = 0.51]. Intestinal parasites still represent a public health concern and this study underscores the importance of further investigations to better understand the pathogenic role of Blastocystis spp.
A segurança do paciente tem sido, atualmente, assunto recorrente na pauta de discussões internacionais, em virtude da grande necessidade de as instituições de saúde passarem a realizar processos mais seguros para uma redução significativa de danos evitáveis à saúde. Em relação ao uso de fitoterápicos, em várias partes do mundo, há um aumento significante em seu uso. Porém, a administração concomitante de medicamentos convencionais e fitoterápicos pode alterar os níveis de respostas a determinados receptores, aumentando as chances de Interação Medicamentosa. As Interações Medicamentosas entre medicamentos alopáticos e fitoterápicos podem causar alterações relevantes nas concentrações plasmáticas dos medicamentos e, consequentemente, mudanças em seus perfis de eficácia e/ou segurança. Este artigo apresenta interações medicamentosas potenciais, envolvendo plantas medicinais e fitoterápicos encontradas na literatura, visando a subsidiar a indicação segura dos mesmos pelos profissionais de saúde. Para que haja utilização coerente da fitoterapia como tratamento complementar, a mesma deve ser indicada por um profissional de saúde com especialização em fitoterapia, a fim de proporcionar uma assistência mais segura e com qualidade, visando a um cuidado integral ao paciente.

Objective:To know and analyze the critical path followed by women subjected to intimate
partner violence until reaching a Reference Center of a Brazilian city, from
the perspective of these women. Method:Qualitative research, based on the concept of critical path. Participant
observations of the support group of the Reference Center and interviews
with ten women in situations of violence who were followed up in this
service. Results:the motivating factors for women to seek help were the increase in the
severity of the aggressions, the impact of the violence on their children
and support from their family. They go to several sectors and services
before reaching the Reference Center, such as the police and legal counsel,
health and social services. They find little effective responses from the
services, and care is indicated as the most relevant response factor to face
the situation. Conclusion:the assistance is fragmented and dependent on the posture of the
professional. The Reference Center is recognized as an important place of
support for women. In addition to governmental efforts to maintain the
network structured, the permanent education of the working professionals is
also fundamental.
