Introduction: The kangaroo-mother care method is an approach adopted in Brazil as a public police, which has helped in the reduction of neonatal mortality rate. Premature birth and its vulnerabilities can trigger, especially in mothers, feelings of fear and insecurity related to taking care of newborns.
Objetivo: comparar o perfil demográfico, a sintomatologia e as comorbidades de adultos e idosos notificados com COVID-19 nas capitais brasileiras e no Distrito Federal. Métodos: estudo ecológico, desenvolvido a partir dos dados da plataforma online e-SUS Notifica, preenchidos até dia 4 de janeiro de 2021, com amostra constituída por 1.416.252 indivíduos, utilizando como critérios de inclusão: ter idade > 20 anos; residir nas capitais brasileiras ou no Distrito Federal; e apresentar resultado do teste positivo para COVID-19. A análise descritiva contou com a exposição das frequências absoluta e relativa e medidas de tendência central. Para análise inferencial, aplicou-se o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson, considerando diferença significativa para valores de p<0,05. Resultados: predominou sexo masculino (52%), com média de idade de 43,29 ± 14,85 anos. Os indivíduos apresentaram tosse (45,4%), febre (38,8%) e outros sintomas (83,1%). As comorbidades mais prevalentes foram: doenças cardíacas (7,1%) e diabetes (4,5%). Houve diferença significativa (p<0,001) entre as regiões brasileiras, ao comparar sexo, idade, ser profissional da saúde, sintomas e comorbidades. Conclusão: os dados contribuíram para o conhecimento acerca do processo epidêmico de COVID-19 no Brasil, no primeiro ano de pandemia, e demonstrou a distribuição dos casos e as relações existentes entre perfil demográfico, sintomatologia e doenças pré-existentes com os agrupados das capitais brasileiras.
Objectives: to analyze the patient safety culture with the multidisciplinary team in a neonatal ICU at a Brazilian maternity. Methods: the safety culture was evaluated by the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC), with a sample of 117 professionals. The questions were divided into 12 domains, classifying them as areas of strength when the percentage was higher than 75% of positive responses. For inferential analysis, Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square tests were used, considering significant p<0.05 values. Results: the domains ‘organizational learning- continuous improvement’ and ‘teamwork’ were considered as areas of strength in establishing security. Those who needed improvement were: ‘non-punitive response to error’ and ‘staffing’. There was no significant relevance between the crossings of the numbers of positive responses with the professional data, thus showing that the factors did not interfere in the answers given. Conclusions: in view of the results presented, changes are suggested mainly in the aspects related to punitive culture and evaluation of possible reduction of work overload. However, we cannot fail to praise the positive aspects found, such as teamwork, the concern of professionals and managers to bring improvements to promote patient safety.
Objective: to classify the quality of nursing care and analyze the association between professionals' characteristics and the implementation of preventive measures for pressure injuries in hospitalized children. Methods: this observational, cross-sectional study involved 235 nursing professionals. The Pressure Injury Prevention instrument comprised three domains with a total of 23 items: Preventive measures and early detection of pressure injuries (9 items), Pressure relief measures (8 items), and Assessment and reporting (6 items), analyzed using the Positivity Index for Quality of Care. Results: Most participants were females (98.7%), with a mean age of 38.83 ± 9.94 years, nursing technicians (57.4%), and had more than five years of experience (77.1%). Nursing care was predominantly inadequate across all three domains, with 82.6% of actions rated as poor. Significant associations were found between "participation in training courses" and "work-related exhaustion". There was a trend towards increased compliance with measurements among professionals aged 31-40. Conclusion: nursing care was predominantly poor and participation in training courses and the presence of exhaustion were associated with better adherence to preventive measures. Contributions to practice: the study highlights the pressing need for investments in professional training and the provision of necessary resources to support high-quality and safe nursing care.
