“…Regarding race/ethnicity, the majority of the people declared themselves as brown. National and international studies corroborate these results when they demonstrate the predominance of white participants (4,10) . However, considering the large racial miscegenation existing in Brazil and the regional characteristics of the population, it is difficult to measure accurately the influence of this variable on the treatment with oral anticoagulants.…”

Objective: to describe the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients treated with oral anticoagulants. Methods: cross-sectional study, conducted in an anticoagulation outpatient facility of a teaching hospital which is reference in cardiology. One evaluated 222 patients, through individual interviews using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: the participants were characterized predominantly by the following characteristics: female (64.4%); brown (57.2%); low education (68.0%); poor (67.1%); most with values of the International Normalized Ratio outside the therapeutic range (57.2%); associated comorbidities and prolonged treatment time (65.8%). Conclusion: it was evident a predominantly female group, with low socioeconomic status, associated comorbidities and prolonged treatment time with oral anticoagulants. It constitutes the biggest part of a vulnerable group whose characteristics can affect the quality of the treatment, and with characteristics related to the particular culture of northeastern Brazil, not found in anticoagulation outpatient facilities in other regions of the country. Descriptors: Cardiovascular Diseases; Anticoagulants; Health Profile.Objetivo: descrever o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico de pacientes em tratamento com anticoagulantes orais. Métodos: estudo transversal, desenvolvido em ambulatório de anticoagulação de um hospital de ensino e referência na área de Cardiologia. Foram avaliados 222 pacientes, por meio de entrevistas individuais, com questionário estruturado. Os dados foram analisados usando estatística descritiva. Resultados: os participantes caracterizaram-se predominantemente por: sexo feminino (64,4%); cor parda (57,2%); baixa escolaridade (68,0%); baixa renda (67,1%); maioria apresentando valores do International Normalized Ratio fora da faixa terapêutica (57,2%); comorbidades associadas; e tempo de tratamento prolongado (65,8%). Conclusão: evidenciou-se grupo predominantemente do sexo feminino, com baixo nível socioeconômico, comorbidades associadas e tempo de tratamento prolongado com anticoagulantes orais. Constitui-se, em maior parte, de um grupo vulnerável, cuja característica pode interferir na qualidade do tratamento, e com especificidades relacionadas à cultura particular da região Nordeste do Brasil, não encontradas em ambulatórios de anticoagulação de outras regiões do país.

“…It was reported that, in 2013, globally, there were 6.5 billion people died due to stroke, stroke is the fifth rank of non-communicable disease that causes death (AHA, 2017). Stroke is the cause of the primary neurologic occurrence, it was reported in 2013, 100.000 people per year suffering from a stroke in Latin America (Stambler &Scazzuso, 2016). In South Korea, some people are over 30 years old suffering from stroke, and 80% had an ischemic stroke (Lee et al, 2019) Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the cause of disability in Indonesia (Indonesia Stroke Society, 2018).…”

Decubitus ulcers are one of the problems experienced by bed rest patients, such as stroke patients, caused by immobilization. Prevention of decubitus ulcers can be done with mobilization and topical application of olive oil. Olive oil contains saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and phenols which are healthy for the skin. This research aims to identify the effects of mobilization and application of olive oil on the prevention of decubitus ulcers in stroke patients. A control group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used in the research. Convenience (non-probability) sampling was also carried out, resulting in 64 research samples. Mobilization intervention of right-left oblique positions and application of olive oil on the area prone to decubitus ulcers were then executed for seven days. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed the effects of mobilization and application of olive oil on the preventions of decubitus ulcers in stroke patients with a value of P= <0,05. Abstrak: Ulkus dekubitus merupakan salah satu masalah yang dialami pasien tirah baring seperti pasien stroke, dengan faktor penyebabnya adalah immobilisasi, tindakan pencegahan ulkus dekubitus dapat dilkukan dengan mobilisasi dan pemberian bahan oles seperti minyak zaitun, minyak zaitun kandungannya terdiri dari asam lemak jenuh, asam lemak tak jenuh, vitamin E dan fenolik yang baik untuk kesehatan kulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pengaruh mobilisasi dan penggunaan minyak zaitun terhadap pencegahan ulkus dekubitus pada pasien stroke. Penelitian menggunakan desain Quasi-experimental dengan pretest- posttest with countrol gruopdesign.Convenience (Non-probability) dilakukan untuk pengambilan sampel, jumlah sampel penelitian 64. Intervensi mobilisasi miring kanan dan kiri kemudian bagian yang akan terjadi ulkus dekubitus diolesi minyak zaitun,intervensi dilakukan selama tujuh hari. Analisa data wilcoson signed -rank test menunjukan adanya pengaruh mobilisasi dan penggunaan minyak zaitun terhadap pencegahan ulkus dekubitus pada pasien stroke dangan nilai P= <0,05. Mobilisasi miring kanan dan kiri penggunaan minyak zaitun dapat mencegah ulkus dekubitus.
