Introdução: A motocicleta vem se tornando um meio de transporte socialmente relevante, em especial, para a classe trabalhadora que utiliza esse veículo para prestação de serviços de condução e/ou serviços de entrega. Nesse contexto, inserem-se os profissio-nais mototaxistas e motoboys que representam uma importante opção de sobrevivência pela autonomia na realização do trabalho. Objetivo: Identificar os riscos ocupacionais e as medidas protetivas de segurança no trabalho entre um grupo de mototaxistas. Casuística e Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com uma abordagem quantitativa. A amostra foi composta por 50 profissionais. A coleta foi realizada no mês de março de 2016. Os dados foram analisados a partir de estatística descritiva. Resul-tados: Todos são do sexo masculino, 48% com ensino médio completo. O risco ocupacional mais citado pelos profissionais foram os acidentes de trânsito, seguidos por assalto. O uso de equipamentos de segurança foi considerado muito importante por 54% dos profissionais. Conclusão: é possível confirmar que o objetivo do trabalho foi alcançado, visto que os profissionais reconhecem alguns dos riscos as quais estão expostos como: risco para acidente de trânsito, risco para o desenvolvimento de câncer, entre outros. Os profissionais fazem uso equipamentos de proteção individual, embora não todos os equipamentos recomendados à sua prática trabalhista e reconhecem que o uso desses equipamentos pode minimizar as lesões relacionadas a acidentes de trabalho.
Evaluating the impact of the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on the hospitalization of children under five years of age before and after its implementation in the city of Patos, PB – Brazil. The first part of this paper comprises a descriptive study with a transversal approach; the data were collected through scrutiny of the patients’ hospital records. For that effect, every medical record found from 2005 until 2015 (periods before and after the introduction of the PVC10 to the Brazilian vaccination schedule) were examined, the ones diagnosed with pneumonia were selected and those that belonged to children from Patos were analysed. The second part includes an ecological time series, whose data were collected from the Paraiba State 6thRegional Health Section database to access information from the National Immunization Program Information System (NIP-IS). It has been found that there were 1,094 hospitalizations for pneumonia on children under 5 years of age within the ten-year-period investigated. The data confirm a declining tendency of hospital admissions for pneumonia in the city of Patos-PB in the analyzed time series, and the PVC10 vaccination coverage has been effective in the analyzed municipality. Despite the declining tendency, the number of cases is still considerably high. Being aware that in the health-disease process children’s hospitalizations are caused by multiple variables including social, economic and cultural issues, it is fundamental the establishment of public policies as well as active surveillance that continuously evaluates the profiles and occurrences of pneumonia cases in Brazil.
<p><strong>Introdução</strong>: o câncer se constitui em um grave problema de saúde pública em que, no Brasil, estima-se a ocorrência de 600 mil casos<br />novos a cada ano. Ressalta-se que a doença extrapola a dimensão pessoal do indivíduo acometido, atingindo outros contextos, como<br />o do profissional de saúde, em especial o enfermeiro. <strong>Objetivo</strong>: este estudo objetivou compreender o enfrentamento emocional<br />de enfermeiros que cuidam de pacientes com câncer. <strong>Metodologia</strong>: trata-se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa<br />desenvolvido no no Hospital do Bem, interior da Paraíba, Brasil.

Introduction: Violent trauma and car accidents result in deaths of more than 2.5 million people a year worldwide. Objective: This study aimed to identify the epidemiological profile of trauma victims admitted and hospitalized in a hospital of reference. Method: This is a retrospective study with a quantitative approach, performed at Patos Regional Hospital-Paraíba. The sample consisted of 179 medical records of inpatients by trauma in the period from August to December 2014. The data were submitted to statistical and descriptive analyzes, and the results presented in graphs and tables. Results: It was observed that the trauma predominates in male individuals (61%), older than 40 years (52%), agricultural workers (28%), despite the accidents occur mostly in urban areas (77%) with large plot admitted after trauma to extremities, skull and face. It showed a higher number of incidents in October (47%), featuring the Monday (20%), with the highest number of admissions and hospitalization, usually including the night hours from 18:01 to 24.00 (40%). Thus, we see the need to invest in prevention policies directed at this particular profile, in order to develop targeted and effective strategies that can reduce the number of incidents, and consequently the number of deaths and permanent sequel.
Introduction: The Ministry of Health has provided for the girls population aged nine to 13 years, the quadrivalent vaccine against Human Papillomavirus as a preventive measure for cancer of the cervix, with the initial proposal to achieve 80% of this population.Objective: To analyze the vaccine coverage and the perspective of the target population about the vaccine against the Human Papillomavirus.

Results:The vaccination coverage showed a reduction in sequence of the vaccination schedules of 19.53% in the first phase of the campaign and of 24.07% in the second phase. It was also noted that lack accurate information for more than 50% of respondents, 15.11% had local and/or systemic reactions and 89,53% of them expect positive results with the vaccine against the Human Papillomavirus. Analysis of Vaccination IntroductionCurrently, through the National Immunization Program -NIP, Brazil has a basic schedule free vaccination that caters to children, adolescents, pregnant women, adult, elderly, indigenous and even groups with special conditions, offered in Immunobiology Special centers -CRIES, offering more than 20 types of biopharmaceuticals, being a great ally of public health actions and the basis for the prevention of immunopreventable diseases [1][2][3]. Among these diseases, infection with Human Papillomavirus -HPV, has shown high prevalence among Sexually Transmitted Infections -STI worldwide. Factor associated with the development of cervical cancer and other cancers, HPV has been responsible for the death of thousands of women [4][5][6]. The development of HPV infection may be transient and not clinically detectable, however, can cause warts and a variety of anogenital premalignant and malignant lesions to cancer of the cervix in women and penis cancer in men [6,7].In 2006, aimed the preventing, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), american agency that regulates food and drugs, approved the quadrivalent prophylactic vaccine for HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18, increasing the actions against cervical cancer [8][9]. In the same year, the National Health Surveillance Agency -ANVISA, regulated the sale of quadrivalent vaccine in Brazil [4,9].It is estimated that in Brazil only in 2014, according to the National Cancer Institute -INCA, 15,590 new cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed [8]. Given this focus, the Ministry of Health -MS, introduced the vaccine in the National Immunization Schedule, providing a significant increase in the perspective of prevention of cervical cancer, in conjunction with the screening actions existing in care programs for woman health. Initially, the vaccine was available to a population made up of girls from 11 to 13 years, with a proposal to achieve up to 80% of the target audience [10,11]. When performing campaigns, the MS defines strate...
