Objective: To verify the association between social determinants of health and the vulnerability of adolescents to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Method: Cross-sectional study, performed with 287 students aged 11 to 17 years, in the outskirts of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, from August do September 2016. Two instruments were used, one destined to social determinants of health and another to investigating the vulnerability to STIs. The magnitude of associations was expressed through odds ratio and interval of confidence, considering a 5% significance level. This research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Ceará. Results: 212 (73.9%) adolescents were considered more vulnerable, with a score ≥ 4. The intermediate social determinant “housing (home ownership)” obtained significant association with with the vulnerability to STIs (p of 0.022; CI 1.1 to 3.3; OR 1.9). Conclusion: The intermediate social determinant “type of housing” influences the vulnerability to STAs.
Objective: To identify evidence available in the literature about sleep patterns of infants attending nurseries. Method: An integrative review of studies published in Portuguese, English or Spanish available in full text on LILACS, CINAHL, and PubMed databases. The following descriptors sono, lactente and creches or berçários (in Portuguese) and sleep, infant and childcare or nurseries were used for LILACS, CINAHL and Pubmed, respectively. Nine studies were selected and analyzed. Results: The main component explored in the studies about sleep pattern is the sleep position of the infants, due to its association with sudden infant death syndrome. The results pointed to the need to promote and develop written guidelines regarding behavioral practices to reduce the risk of this phenomenon. Conclusion: Evidence has identifi ed sleep issues, mainly regarding the sleep position of the infant and the environment where the infant sleeps, showing that it is critical to set routines and interventions to improve the quality of sleep care of infants attending nurseries.

Objective: to compare pain scores in term newborns submitted to music and swaddling interventions during venipuncture. Methods: pilot study of a clinical trial, carried out with 11 newborns in rooming-in care who received venipunctures. The newborns were randomly allocated into two groups: Experimental (20 minutes of music + swaddling) and Control (swaddling). Newborns were filmed and pain was assessed by the Neonatal Facial Coding System at baseline, procedure, and initial recovery phases. Results: the Experimental Group at baseline, procedure (antisepsis, puncture, and milking), and recovery showed less pain reactions and lower heart rate mean and variation (p<0.05) than the Control Group. Conclusion: newborns who received the intervention of music combined with swaddling had less pain reactions and less variations in heart rate during venipuncture.

Objetivou-se averiguar em publicações científicas a influência dos distúrbios do sono no desenvolvimento infantil. Revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada no mês de dezembro de 2012 e março de 2014 nas bases de dados: LILACS, Pubmed, CINAHL, Scopus e Cochrane, abrangendo o periodo de publicação de 2003 a março de 2014, com os descritores desenvolvimento infantil e distúrbios do sono. Como amostra da pesquisa, foram selecionados oito artigos constantes na base de dados SCOPUS e três na PubMed. Sendo dois desses artigos indexados repetidamente nas duas bases supracitadas. Dessa forma, resultou em uma amostra final de nove artigos publicados entre 2007 e 2013; três são do tipo longitudinal e seis são revisões de literatura. A síntese dos resultados aponta evidências do distúrbio de sono como possível influenciador em alterações no desenvolvimento, principalmente, no aspecto cognitivo e comportamental.
Changes in sleep behavior are considered a public health problem, since they interfere with the health of the individual, especially in early childhood, and can impair growth and development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge about children's sleep in parents of children aged 0 to 24 months. Quasi-experimental study, of the type before and after, with a single group, developed in a pediatric outpatient clinic in northeastern Brazil. Convenience sample of 60 parents of children discharged from the neonatal unit, who represent preliminary data from a larger study. Data collected between November / 2019 and January / 2020, using the CAP survey (Knowledge, Attitude and Practice). A child sleep instrument was used in the pre-test (first time with the parents) and post-test (15 days after the first application). After the pre-test, the parents read an educational booklet containing the information to which they were asked. The knowledge about sleep was assessed including, time, place and sleeping clothes, position in the crib, prevention of sudden infant death syndrome and total sleep time. Scores ≤ 3 represented inadequate knowledge; 4-7 adequate knowledge. Only 5 parents had inadequate knowledge in the pre-test. In the post-test, everyone demonstrated adequate knowledge. The average of points in the pre-test was 4.3, median of 4. In the post-test, the average of points (6.15), median (6). In the pre-test, less correct questions were total sleep time, adequate sleeping position, with 12 and 20 errors, respectively. After the application of the booklet, the question regarding the total sleep time remained with an equal number of errors, however only 7 parents were wrong about the position of the child at the time of sleep. It is concluded that there is a need for guidance to parents on sleep, and it is pertinent to evaluate their previous knowledge, contributing to the strengthening of public policies aimed at children's sleep. Key messages Parents should receive guidance on infant sleep hygiene. Strengthening the promotion of children's sleep by health professionals.
Aim: To elaborate a nursing care plan for infants between 12 and 18 months with altered sleep patterns. Method: a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out in two public institutions in Fortaleza / CE. The sample comprised 128 participants: 64 infants and 64 caregivers. An instrument for sociodemographic characterization and the Infant Sleep Questionnaire (ISQ)-Brazilian version were applied. Results: the plan of care was elaborated according to the questionnaire and based on the most frequent alterations identified by caregivers and the scientific literature. The most discussed items were "waking up during the night" and "sleeping in bed with their parents". Conclusion: we emphasize the importance of implementing the plan as a nursing care tool in order to promote well-being and quality of care with regard to infant sleep.
Parasitic diseases are a serious public health problem, especially in regions such as the Brazilian Northeast, which despite numerous advances in health still have high rates of morbidity, with regard to intestinal parasitic diseases, especially diarrheal diseases. School-age children are the most affected by this condition, either due to lack of knowledge or poor hygiene habits. The school is a relevant place for the application and development of methods focused on the theme, and knowledge for prevention and control is essential. Thus, the card game aims to facilitate students' understanding of the subject. The contributions of the present work will contribute to prevention and will contribute to children's health programs, through the development and use of a playful tool as a health education strategy for schoolchildren in the prevention of parasites. The game consists of cards that contain parasites, morphology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, forms of prevention, among others, being elaborated based on the literature and made in computer programs, being possible to play individually or in groups. The use of playfulness can provide a better understanding, mainly because it involves children, thus generating curiosity about the theme. Health education carried out in dynamic ways provides and requires attention, leaving them more attentive and curious in view of the above. When applied to schoolchildren, the proportion and impact will be much wider, as it is a very diversified environment, where it will be possible to reach children from different areas, places and realities. When developing the game and applying it to children through health education, the subject will be much more accepted, thus making them more knowledgeable about the theme, which will favor in the prevention of parasites and a better quality of life, as well as well as the dissemination of the importance of the subject. Key messages Parasitic diseases do not yet have preventive measures, such as vaccines, and health education is extremely important. The game can bring benefits to public health, in the practice of child health, being used as a form of health education and its dissemination to schools and other learning spaces.
The Universal Agenda 2030 was developed by representatives of all countries as an action plan covering the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. 17 objectives were agreed upon, highlighting objective 03, which aims to ensure a healthy life and promote well-being for all at all ages, having as one of the established goals to end preventable deaths of newborns by 2030. Infections neonatal care reflects deficits in health care, covering the entire perinatal period, and it is necessary to understand its causes in order to promote quality preventive and health promotion actions. The question is: what are the causes that make up the indicator of early neonatal mortality, due to preventable causes in Brazil between 2007 to 2017? Retrospective study carried out between September and October 2019 using secondary data collection from Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System - SUS (DATASUS). The outcome variable was early neonatal mortality from preventable causes and the independent variable was the infections component of the newborn). Twelve preventable causes of death have been identified in this category: congenital rubella syndrome; congenital syphilis; neonatal tetanus; diphtheria; haemophilus and non-haemophilus meningitis; human immunodeficiency virus diseases; neonatal infections; pneumonia; acute infections of lower airways; bacterial diseases and intestinal infectious diseases. The main cause of preventable death was infections from the neonatal period, which include congenital viral diseases (cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex); newborn bacterial septicemia; congenital parasitic diseases; omphalitis of newborn with or without mild hemorrhage; intra-amniotic infection of the fetus, neonatal infection of the urinary tract and/or skin. There is a need for more effective public health actions to modify the neonatal mortality situation, as well as health surveillance actions. Key messages Warn about causes of perinatal mortality that can be avoided. Strengthen the fulfillment of objective 3 of the 2030 Agenda to ensure and promote health in the perinatal period.
