Objectives: to identify high-risk areas of leprosy in Brazil from 2001 to 2015. Methods: this is an ecological study of spatial analysis based on Brazilian municipalities. Spatial scan statistics were used to identify spatial clustering and measure the relative risk from the annual detection rate of new cases of leprosy. By criterion based on the Gini index, only secondary clusters were considered. Results: spatial scan statistics detected 26 clusters, in which the detection rate was 59.19 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, while in the remainder of the country it was 11.76. Large part of the cluster area is located in the Legal Amazon. These groups included only 21.34% of the total population, but 60.40% of the new cases of the disease. Conclusions: Leprosy remains concentrated in some areas, showing the need for control programs to intensify actions in these municipalities.
Objective: To investigate in the literature the relation of socioeconomic factors in the incidence of the disease and other outcomes related to leprosy. Method: Integrative review conducted in Lilacs, Medline, Scopus databases and SciELO online library with studies from 2000 to 2016. Results: 32 studies were included. Only studies that analyzed statistical associations of socioeconomic factors and outcomes related to leprosy were selected. Conclusion: Leprosy is greatly affected by the social context in which the patient is inserted, the chances of exposure to illness are the result of a set of not only individual aspects, but also of contexts or collective conditions. It is imperative for Nursing, as an essential part of the multiprofessional team entrusted with the care and surveillance of the disease, to recognize these factors to predict unfavorable outcomes and to develop new practices capable of reducing inequities.
Objective: to analyze the epidemiological trends of leprosy in an endemic state. Methods: ecological study of temporal trends. The data were taken from the National Disease Notification System and analyzed through a generalized linear regression using the Prais Winsten method. Results: a total of 12,134 new cases of leprosy were analyzed. There was a downward trend of -4.8% in the overall detection rate and of -6.7% in the detection rate in children under 15 years of age. The proportion of new cases of leprosy with grade 2 physical disability at diagnosis showed a stationary trend of 2.7%. It is noteworthy that the trends of epidemiological indicators of leprosy are heterogeneous among the macro-regions of the health system. Conclusion: the incidence of leprosy declined in the general population, in children under 15 years of age, and the proportion of grade 2 disability showed stability. Despite the decline, it is evident that diagnoses occur late and the transmission remains active.
Objective: to analyze the trend of epidemiological indicators of leprosy related to diagnosis and physical disability. Methods: ecological study of time series. The secondary data were extracted from the Brazilian Notifiable Diseases Information System. Prais-Winsten generalized linear analysis was used for trend analysis. Results: 240,028 new cases of leprosy were analyzed. The Northeast region showed a decreasing annual trend (-2.9%) for general detection. As for disability, there are differences among the states of Bahia (4.9%), Alagoas (4.1%), Piauí (2.5%), Maranhão (2.2%) and Ceará (2.1%), which presented increasing trend to grade 2 ratio in the general population. Bahia (9.5%), Sergipe (6.6%) and Maranhão (4.9%) also presented an increasing trend to grade 2 among children. Conclusion: the Northeast region has remained at a very high endemicity level for leprosy with a difference in the distribution of the disease among the states. It was shown active transmission of the bacillus, late diagnosis and underreporting in the region.Objetivo: analisar a tendência dos indicadores epidemiológicos da hanseníase relacionados ao diagnóstico e incapacidade física. Métodos: estudo ecológico de séries temporais. Os dados secundários foram extraídos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação brasileiro. Utilizou-se análise linear generalizada de Prais-Winsten para análise de tendência. Resultados: analisou-se 240.028 casos novos de hanseníase. O Nordeste apresenta tendência anual decrescente (-2,9%) para detecção geral. Quanto à incapacidade há diferenças entre os estados: Bahia (4,9%), Alagoas (4,1%), Piauí (2,5%), Maranhão (2,2%) e Ceará (2,1%) que apresentam tendência crescente para proporção de grau 2 na população geral. Bahia (9,5%), Sergipe (6,6%) e Maranhão (4,9%) também apresentam tendência crescente para grau 2 entre crianças. Conclusão: o Nordeste se mantém em nível de muito alta endemicidade para hanseníase com diferença na distribuição da doença entre os estados. Evidencia-se transmissão ativa do bacilo, diagnóstico tardio e subnotificação na região.
A consulta de enfermagem em puericultura representa uma oportunidade de avaliar a criança de forma sistematizada e individualizada levando em consideração determinantes e condicionantes de saúde, visando a promoção, proteção, recuperação e reabilitação. Objetivou-se compreender as ações implementadas na consulta de enfermagem em puericultura, a partir da vivência de mães. Pesquisa descritivaexploratória, qualitativa, realizada no período de outubro a dezembro de 2017, com 13 mães de crianças menores de dois anos cadastradas em duas unidades de saúde da família do município de Cuité-Paraíba. Os dados foram coletados a partir de entrevista norteada por roteiro semiestruturado, e descrita por meio da análise de conteúdo proposta por Minayo. A análise permitiu a construção de uma categoria temática: Vivência de mães acerca das ações realizadas na consulta de enfermagem em puericultura, alicerçada em três subcategorias: Etapas da consulta; Fragilidades e Contribuições para a integralidade do cuidado. Contudo, a consulta de enfermagem em puericultura representa uma importante contribuição para a redução de morbimortalidade infantil,entretanto,apresenta fragilidades.
