RESUMENEl objetivo de este estúdio fue caracterizar los casos notificados de Tuberculosis coinfectados por el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida en Río Grande del Norte, estado del noreste brasileño. Se trata de un estudio ecológico, retrospectivo, basado en datos de notificaciones del Sistema de Información de Agravios de Notificación entre los años 2001 y 2015. Los datos fueron presentados en gráficos, imagen y tablas y analizados a partir de estudios actuales sobre la temática. Se observó un aumento en el número de casos durante el período analizado. Prevaleció casos confirmados del sexo masculino (75,28%), de personas entre 20 y 39 años (55,63%), que presentaron la forma pulmonar de tuberculosis (71,62%), desarrollaron SIDA (91,27%) e ingresaron en el servicio en la situación de caso nuevo (73,80%). Se observó una cantidad elevada de datos ignorados, como ejemplo, las variables drogas ilícitas (88,82%) y tabaquismo (89,52%). Se concluye que los hallazgos indican el aumento en el número de coinfecciones y una preocupación por la completitud de los datos durante las notificaciones. ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to characterize the reported cases of Tuberculosis coinfected with the Acquired Immunodeficiency Virus in Rio Grande do Norte, state of northeastern Brazil. This is an ecological, retrospective study based on notification data from the Notification Grievance Information System between 2001 and 2015. The data were presented in graphs, images and tables and analyzed from current studies on the subject. There was an increase in the number of cases during the period analyzed. Prevalence of confirmed male cases (75.28%), between 20 and 39 years old (55.63%), who had the pulmonary form of tuberculosis (71.62%), developed AIDS (91.27%) and entered the service in the new case situation (73.80%). A high amount of ignored data was observed, for example, the variables illicit drugs (88.82%) and smoking (89.52%). It is concluded that the findings indicate the increase in the number of coinfections and a concern for the completeness of the data during the notifications.
Introduction: Fragility is a multidimensional syndrome that involves biological, psychological and social factors. The risk to fragility in the elderly is associated with the state of vulnerability of these people leading to the development of incapacitating conditions, loss of autonomy, and functional dependency. Aims: To evaluate and ascertain the nursing interventions for the elderly at risk of fragility; to identify the level of such patients by using Edmonton's Frail Scale; to verify the association of the domains described in the Scale with the levels of fragility; to indicate the nursing interventions for the elderly at risk of fragility according to the Protocol of Interventions. Method: This is a transversal study, which adopts a quantitative approach. Expected results: The indication of nursing interventions for the elderly at risk of fragility. Implications to health: This present study will be a positive addition to gerontology clinical practice, in terms of avoiding or reducing the effect of fragility.
Objetivo: compreender o significado dos cuidados paliativos à pessoa idosa para profissionais de saúde que atuam na atenção primária.
