The aim of this study is to analyze the evidence on respiratory physiotherapy intervention in adult asthmatic patients.Through an integrative literature review in medline/pubmed, LILACS and PEDro databases, studies without language restriction, published between 2009 and 2021. Those who used interventions in children and the elderly were excluded, as well as literature review studies, book chapters, dissertations and theses. After the search of the articles in the aforementioned databases, a total of 969 articles were found. When applying the eligibility criteria, 08 articles were selected to make up the present study. In view of the above, it can be affirmed that there is evidence that supports the importance of respiratory interventions in adult patients with asthma. Breathing exercises can provide short/long-term benefits, which are important for better disease control and quality of life. Education programs with asthma patients are also effective, because the broad knowledge of the disease, as well as the guidelines, interfere in the reduction of morbidity and a better quality of life.
Early intervention in premature neonates aims to minimize complications and sequelae that are caused during their lifetime, especially in the first year of birth. The aim of this review was to analyze the benefits of early intervention in the neuropsychomotor development of premature newborns. For this, an integrative review of the literature was performed. The collection period was between September 2020 and June 2021. The search in the electronic databases resulted in the identification of 4,453 articles. After the initial analysis, 30 articles were identified and after reading the title and abstracts 22 articles were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. At the end of this process, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria adopted, a total of 08 articles were selected for definitive inclusion in this review. In view of what was presented in this review article, it can be affirmed that early intervention is fundamental for the development of children for the facilitation of movements through stimuli.
To analyze in the literature the context of sexuality in quality of life during the aging process. This is an integrative literature review, searches were performed in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (MedLine/Pubmed), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Cochrane Library databases in the period of February to July 2021. As inclusion criteria, articles without language restrictions and whose methodology allowed obtaining evidence on sexuality in the quality of life of the elderly were adopted. Articles that related the elderly and AIDS or HIV and other types of publications other than articles were excluded. A total of 2,041 articles were found in the databases, 63 were excluded due to duplicity and 1,910 per title and/or abstract, leaving 68. Of these, after analysis, 04 were included in the review for meeting the eligibility criteria. This review shows that despite the taboos involving sexuality during aging, it is evident that the subject can positively impact the quality of life of the elderly. New studies are needed for this theme to be strengthened.
