The results of the present study show the beneficial effect of UVB phototherapy on AD and suggest that this may be attributable not only to reduction of skin surface bacteria but also to the suppression of superantigen production from S. aureus.
Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar o comportamento de prostitutas quanto à prevenção de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis e da aids, bem como investigar como estão se prevenindo das mesmas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada na Associação das Prostitutas do Ceará, em setembro de 2008, através de questionário, com 25 prostitutas. Os dados foram analisados através da análise de conteúdo, após serem agrupados em quatro categorias: conhecimento sobre doenças sexualmente transmissíveis/aids; vivência com a(s) doença(s); prevenção da doenças sexualmente transmissíveis/aids; e uso de drogas. Concluiu-se que as prostitutas não fazem uso de preservativo em todas as relações sexuais, portanto, as doenças transmitidas pelo sexo representam uma realidade. A desinformação sobre a(s) doença(s) é notável. O consumo de drogas lícitas e ilícitas é frequente entre elas, fator que expõe a situações mais vulneráveis com relação ao HIV/aids.
OBJECTIVE: to analyze the total Premature Infant Pain Profile scores of premature infants
undergoing arterial puncture during music and 25% glucose interventions, and to
assess their association with neonatal and therapeutic variables. METHOD: a randomized clinical trial with 80 premature infants; 24 in the Experimental
Group 1 (music), 33 in the Experimental Group 2 (music and 25% glucose), 23 in the
Positive Control Group (25% glucose). All premature infants were videotaped and a
lullaby was played for ten minutes before puncture in Experimental Groups 1 and 2;
25% glucose administered in Experimental Group 2 and the Positive Control Group
two minutes before puncture. RESULTS: 60.0% of premature infants had moderate or maximum pain; pain scores and
intervention groups were not statistically significant. Statistically significant
variables: Experimental Group 1: head and chest circumference, Apgar scores,
corrected gestational age; Experimental Group 2: chest circumference, Apgar
scores, oxygen therapy; Positive Control group: birth weight, head circumference.
CONCLUSION: neonatal variables are associated with pain in premature infants. Brazilian
Registry of Clinical Trials: UTN: U1111-1123-4821.
Este estudo objetivou apreender o significado do cuidado oferecido pelo enfermeiro ao recém-nascido em procedimentos dolorosos e conhecer as intervenções realizadas pelos enfermeiros para amenizar a dor do recém-nascido. Estudo descritivo, realizado na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal de um hospital público de Fortaleza-CE em julho/2010. Os sujeitos foram dez enfermeiras, e a coleta de dados se realizou através de um questionário. Os dados foram organizados em três categorias: O significado de cuidado diante da dor do recém-nascido; a assistência humanizada junto ao recém-nascido; e intervenções de enfermagem diante da dor do recém-nascido. Estes foram analisados à luz da Teoria Humanística de Paterson e Zderad. Constatou-se que o cuidado ao recém-nascido deveria ser direcionado a minimizar os fatores estressores durante a situação dolorosa e que as intervenções citadas foram predominantemente não farmacológicas, envolvendo ações desenvolvidas para a recém-nascido e o ambiente da Unidade.
This is a descriptive, exploratory study which aimed to analyze the proxemic communication of the mother-child binomial in aNeonatal Intensive Therapy unit-ITu in Fortaleza-Ceará from October to November 2006. The sample consisted of 20 mothers and 20 newborn babies. Six factors from Hall's Proxemic Theory were used. The results showed three interaction angles between mothers and newborns: eighteen mothers were opposite to the newborns, one of them was next to the baby, and the other one was giving her back to the baby. Proxemic and cinesic factors: fifteen mothers got to a close distance, four of them were at a personal distance, and another one at a social distance. As for mother's facial expressions, the smile (9) and the tranquility (7) were observed with higher frequency; the crying ( 13) and the tranquility (7) were observed among the newborn babies. As for the mother's behavior contact, most cherished their babies ( 16), touched them ( 14), and held them lingeringly (15). In the visual code, nineteen mothers looked at their children. As for the voice volume, it was low (14) or normal (2). It is possible to infer that the behavior focused by the factors allowed us to evaluate a special behavior of the mother-child binomial.
