Background. It is a fact that hand hygiene prevents nosocomial infection, but compliance with recommended instructions is commonly poor. The purpose of this study was to implement a hand hygiene program for increase compliance with hand hygiene and its relationship with nosocomial infection (NI) and MRSA infection/colonization rates. Methods. Compliance to hand hygiene was evaluated in a hospital by direct observation and measured of health care-associated infections, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, before and after an educational intervention, using visual poster, colorful stamps, and feedback of the results. Results. Overall compliance did not increase during intervention, only handwashing before and after patient contact has improved from 40% to 76% (P = 0.01) for HCWs, but NI and MRSA rates remained high and stable. Conclusion. In a combination of high prevalence of NI and low compliance to hand hygiene, the programme of measure does not motivate the HCW hand hygiene. Future interventions should employ incremental evaluation to develop effective hand hygiene initiatives.
ResumoEstudiosas/os da temática "gênero e religião" apontam para o difícil encontro destes estudos com aqueles realizados na área da Ciência da Religião. Sublinham que estados da arte sobre a produção brasileira relativa às religiões não mencionam a temática de gênero ou feminismo enquanto, de modo similar, os balanços na área de estudos de gênero deixam de contemplar a produção acadêmica no campo da Ciência da Religião. O artigo trabalha resultados de pesquisa a respeito dessa dupla invisibilidade, analisando os programas de pós-graduação, grupos de pesquisa e periódicos brasileiros das duas áreas. Os principais achados sinalizam que o distanciamento entre os dois campos -Ciência da Religião e Gênero -pode decorrer da escassez de interação entre acadêmicas/os, o que se revela nos assuntos escolhidos para a pesquisa, na avaliação institucional pelos pares que se processa em diferentes subcomissões e no vínculo que estabelecem com Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) de caráter confessional ou leigo. Palavras-chave: Feminismo. Gênero. Institucionalização dos estudos de gênero. Institucionalização dos estudos de religião. Ensino superior confessional. Feminism, gender and religion -the challenges of a possible encounter AbstractWomen and men, scholars of "gender and religion" point to the difficult encounter of these studies with those made in the area of religious studies. They point out that the state of the art on the Brazilian production on religions do not mention the issue
In the 19th century, as a reaction to the acute crisis undergone by the Catholic Church in Brazil, a fundamental reorganization of institutional structures had to be implemented in order to recover lost political, economic and social power. One result of this reorientation was a new approach to women, with the Church attempting to “enlist” women in its cause. A simultaneous “feminization” of Catholic practice led nevertheless to stronger “clericalism” within this practice, obedience becoming a norm and a virtue in itself to the faithful. This process of female mobilization and women's various reactions to it is a very complex one, its terms and conditions being incessantly redefined, conditional both upon the Church's own inner structural redefinition and upon evolution of broader social patterns. Throughout and due to this dual process, during which the Catholic Church constantly tried to “incorporate” women into its own institutional views and actions (without, however, changing any of its specific institutional patterns, thus deliberately maintaining women in an inferior and marginal position), opportunities to disrupt and transform the course of events in favour of women have emerged. This complex process is traced in this article.

RESUMO: Atualmente, o uso de álcool apresenta enormes impactos sociais, físicos e mentais, a ponto de ser considerado, pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), um problema de saúde pública. Estudos epidemiológicos apontam que o consumo de álcool vem acontecendo em idade cada vez mais precoce, inclusive no Brasil. Assim, este relato visa descrever ações de um projeto que visou desenvolver ações preventivas ao uso abusivo de álcool por estudantes de uma escola pública no município de Uberlândia/MG. As estratégias de atuação foram oficinas educativas, detecção do consumo de álcool problemático, intervenção em casos detectados como uso nocivo e encaminhamento de casos mais graves. Observou-se que a escola é um terreno fértil para ações de prevenção ao uso abusivo de álcool. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Educação em saúde. Saúde Escolar. Consumo de bebidas alcoólicas. Alcohol abuse prevention in the school context: reporting of project experience "RecreatingPaths"ABSTRACT: Currently the use of alcohol has enormous social impacts, physical and mental to the point of being considered a public health problem by the World Health Organization.Epidemiological studies indicate that alcohol consumption has been happening increasingly early age including in Brazil. Thus, this living report aimed the project to develop preventive actions to alcohol abuse among students from a public school in Uberlândia city, MG.
