an Educational Content Validation Instrument in Health was elaborated and validated, presenting good reliability, and may contribute to the practice of researchers and health professionals in the development of educational content.
Objective: To analyze the association between the characteristics of follow-up in health services and adherence to antihypertensive medication in patients with cardiovascular disease. Method: Analytical study carried out with 270 patients suffering from hypertension and hospitalized due to cardiovascular complications. Data collection occurred between November 2015 and April 2016, involving sociodemographic variables, presence of self-reported diabetes, accessibility and use of health services, blood pressure levels and medication adherence (analyzed through the Morisky–Green Test). Results: The rate of adherence to antihypertensive therapy was 63.0%. Enrollment in the Hiperdia program had no statistical significance to medication adherence. People who attended at least between 4 and 6 nursing consultations throughout the data collection period (p = 0.02) had better adherence. Conclusion: The study’s findings provide support for the reorientation of health services and their public policies towards improving adherence to antihypertensive therapeutics.
RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a acessibilidade para idosos às Unidades de Atenção Primária de zonas urbanas e rurais. Método: estudo quantitativo descritivo em 157 unidades de atenção primária do Ceará. Utilizou-se instrumento com padrões de acessibilidade da Norma Brasileira 9050/2004 para via pública e acesso ao prédio. Resultados: a avaliação da via pública evidencia distribuição irregular com percentuais mais altos na zona urbana para faixas de pedestres, largura de calçadas, sinalização de trânsito (p<0,0001) e meio-fio rebaixado (p=0,0001), enquanto que a rural apresentou <15% de unidades acessíveis. Ambas foram igualmente inacessíveis no acesso ao prédio. Conclusões: as unidades de saúde rurais e urbanas apresentaram condições insatisfatórias de acessibilidade nas vias públicas e nenhuma acessibilidade aos prédios, comprometendo o atendimento aos idosos por dificuldade ou falta de acesso.

Objective: To identify in the literature the cardiovascular adverse events resulting from oral antineoplastic therapy. Method: Integrative review of the literature through the SCOPUS, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) databases. The antineoplastic, cardiotoxicity, cardiovascular system and adverse reaction descriptors were used in Portuguese, English and Spanish. We selected 23 articles published between 1985 and 2015. Results: Twenty studies were related to cardiac events and eleven to peripheral vascular events. The most frequent adverse cardiac events were reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, myocardial infarction, changes in the electrocardiogram, heart failure and angina, whereas peripheral vascular events were hypertension and thromboembolism. Conclusion: Oral antineoplastic therapy is associated with different adverse events, including cardiac and peripheral vascular events.

Objective: to analyze the existence of a relationship between cardiac ejection fraction during hospitalization with blood pressure values obtained before and during hospitalization in patients hospitalized for coronary disease. Methods: correlational study, with 303 patients with coronary artery disease. Sociodemographic data were obtained through interviews and the clinical parameters consulted in the medical record. Results: of the participants with low systolic blood pressure, 54.0% had decreased cardiac ejection fraction, showing an association (p<0.001). Systolic pressure during hospitalization was not associated with the cardiac ejection fraction (p=0.060). During hospitalization, diastolic blood pressure and the cardiac ejection fraction showed a statistically significant association (p<0.001) that was directly proportional in the female sex. Conclusion: systolic blood pressure lower than 120mmHg is associated with reduced cardiac ejection fraction in coronary arteries. There was a relationship between increased diastolic blood pressure and elevated left ventricular ejection fraction in women with coronary disease. Descriptors: Coronary Disease; Cardiovascular Diseases; Arterial Pressure; Stroke Volume; Nursing. Objetivo: analisar a existência de relação entre fração de ejeção cardíaca durante a internação com valores da pressão arterial obtidos antes e durante a internação em pacientes hospitalizados por doença coronariana. Métodos: estudo correlacional, com 303 pacientes coronariopatas. Os dados sociodemográficos foram obtidos por meio de entrevista e os parâmetros clínicos consultados no prontuário. Resultados: dos participantes com pressão arterial sistólica baixa, 54,0% possuíam fração de ejeção cardíaca diminuída, evidenciando-se associação (p<0,001). A pressão sistólica durante a hospitalização não esteve associada à fração de ejeção cardíaca (p=0,060). Durante a internação, a pressão arterial diastólica e a fração de ejeção cardíaca mostraram associação estatística significativa (p<0,001) diretamente proporcional no sexo feminino. Conclusão: pressão arterial sistólica inferior a 120mmHg está associada à fração de ejeção cardíaca reduzida em coronariopatas. Houve relação entre aumento da pressão arterial diastólica e elevação da fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo em mulheres com doença coronariana.

Objective: to build the concept of disabled person. Methods: study of analysis of concept using the phases field work and statistical analysis with 120 individuals divided into three groups of 40 people with hearing, visual and motor disability. Results: there was predomination of men (68%), 18-29 years old (55%), with superior education (35%) and married/common-law married (75%). The attribute accepted was person with limitation and still able to perform activity, with a difference between groups (p = 0.018); the keyword accepted was limitation (p = 0.001); the expression was disabled person, with intergroup difference (p = 0.013). Concept of choice by group was deaf (97.51%); blind (45%) and person with visual disability (45%) and; person with physical disability (27.5%). Conclusion: attributes, keywords used in the literature and public policy were not accepted. They prefer to be called deaf; blind or visually impaired; They reject people with motor disability and wheelchair user.
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.
