Objective to analyze the contributions of the in situ simulation in the self-confidence of early childhood and elementary education teachers regarding the initial management of health complications in school.Method this is a pre-post testing quasi-experimental study. Two pre and post in situ simulation instruments were applied to 76 teachers, namely: visual analogue scale of teachers’ self-confidence in the management of health complications at school, and a questionnaire to assess their knowledge on the subject. The educational activity was composed of four scenarios of in situ simulation. The data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics using univariate and multivariate linear regression.Results the comparison of results of pre and post in situ simulation self-confidence identified promotion of self-confidence (p<0.001), especially for those teachers with less professional experience (p=0.008), without previous similar experience (p=0.003) and who actively participated in the simulation (p=0.009).Conclusion the teachers feel uncomfortable to handle health complications. The in situ simulation elevated the perception of self-confidence among teachers.

Objective: To describe the construction and validation of a visual analogue scale of teachers' self-confidence with regard to the initial management of health issues in schools. Method: A methodological study was developed based on theoretical (items' construction and content validation), empirical (semantic analysis and pilot test), and analytical procedures (internal consistency analysis). The project was approved by a research ethics committee. Results: The scale consisted of 12 items regarding the main health issues in schools, presented content validity index of 100% in the second round, was understood by the target audience, and presented high internal consistency among items (Cronbach's alpha of 0.89). Conclusion and implications for practice: An easy-to-use tool that proved to be relevant to meet the dimension of teachers' self-confidence in the initial management of health issues in schools. The scale may contribute to the planning of systematized and effective educational strategies among teachers.

Objetivo: Identificar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de cuidadores de crianças com transtornos do neurodesenvolvimento e analisar os fatores associados. Método: Estudo com delineamento observacional, transversal de abordagem quantitativa. Aplicado instrumento de caracterização e The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short em 25 cuidadores. Utilizou-se o teste de Mann-Whitney e Correlação de Spearman, com nível de significância de 5%. Dentre os domínios da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde, vitalidade e dor apresentaram os menores escores. Houve diferença significativa entre crença religiosa e os domínios aspectos sociais (p=0,046) e saúde mental (p=0,008) e, entre estado marital e os domínios aspectos sociais (p=0,029) e aspectos emocionais (p=0,035). Observou-se correlação negativa entre capacidade funcional e idade do cuidador. Conclusão: Cuidadores de crianças com transtornos do neurodesenvolvimento se percebem cansados e pouco dispostos. Crença religiosa, estado marital e idade se constituíram em fatores relacionados.

Objective: To analyze the knowledge of Primary Education teachers regarding asthma and learn about their experiences with the exacerbation of symptoms at school. Method: Sequential explanatory mixed study. In the quantitative stage, the Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire and the characterization instrument were applied. Data analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The production of qualitative data occurred from written statements analyzed using the deductive content analysis method. Results: Two hundred and seven teachers, mostly women (92%) and working in public schools (82%). As for knowledge, 132 (63.8%) had unsatisfactory performance. The questions with the lowest rates of correct answers were about medications used regularly and during the attacks. Teachers with higher scores had less time in the occupation (p = 0.017) and had been diagnosed with asthma (p = 0.006). In the qualitative stage, 35 teachers participated and the statements corroborated the quantitative findings, especially in relation to the knowledge gap and feeling of greater safety among asthmatic teachers. Conclusion: Teachers showed insufficient knowledge and reported fear and unpreparedness in the face of the situation.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar o conhecimento de professores da Educação Básica com relação à asma e conhecer suas vivências diante da exacerbação dos sintomas na escola. Método: Estudo misto do tipo explanatório sequencial. Na etapa quantitativa, foi aplicado remotamente o Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire e o instrumento de caracterização. Dados analisados por estatística descritiva e inferencial. A produção dos dados qualitativos ocorreu a partir de depoimentos escritos analisados pelo método de análise de conteúdo dedutivo. Resultados: Duzentos e sete professores, maioria do sexo feminino (92%) e atuante em escolas públicas (82%). Quanto ao conhecimento, 132 (63,8%) apresentaram desempenho insatisfatório. As questões com menores índices de acerto eram sobre medicamentos utilizados regularmente e na crise. Os professores com maiores pontuações tinham menor tempo de atuação (p = 0,017) e possuíam diagnóstico de asma (p = 0,006). Na etapa qualitativa, participaram 35 professores e os depoimentos corroboraram os achados quantitativos, sobretudo com relação à lacuna de conhecimento e sentimento de maior segurança entre os professores asmáticos. Conclusão: Os professores apresentaram conhecimento insuficiente e relataram medo e despreparo frente à situação.

Background: Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) require greater attention from family caregivers as they present temporary or permanent physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional issues. This demand for care generates overload and stress among family caregivers. So far, there is no study that gathers the available literature regarding the use of biomarkers to assess stress among caregivers of CSHCN. Hence, we aimed to synthetize and to assess the scientific evidence on biomarkers associated with stress in caregivers of CSHCN.Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol was elaborated following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P). The search strategy will be undertaken through 7 electronic bibliographic databases: Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, and PsycINFO. In addition, secondary searches in other sources, such as Clinical trials.gov-NIH, The British Library, Pro Quest Dissertations Database, Google Scholar, and medRXiv will be also carried out. The reference section of the included studies will be hand searched for additional relevant studies. There will be no restriction regarding the publication dates or languages for this systematic review. Moreover, in an independently manner, 2 investigators will select studies, perform data extraction, as well as perform a critical appraisal of the risk of bias and overall quality of the selected studies, based on their designs. The heterogeneity among the studies will be assessed using the I 2 statistic test. According to the results of this test, we will verify whether a meta-analysis is feasible. If feasibility is confirmed, a random-effect model analysis will be carried out. For data analysis, the calculation of the pooled effect estimates will consider a 95% CI and alpha will be set in 0.05 using the SPSS version 23.0.Results: This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide better insights regarding the biomarkers associated with stress in caregivers of CSHCN. Hence, consistent data and robust evidence will be provided to help practitioners and decision-makers in this area.Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge this study, will be the first to synthetize and critically evaluate the scientific evidence on biomarkers associated with stress in caregivers of CSHCN.
