“…The rapid advance in the number of cases may be related to the effectiveness of the health care network in offering timely quality services, as well as to social, biological, cultural and behavioral aspects of the population. Studies show a higher occurrence of infection among individuals exposed to risk situations such multiplicity of partners, unprotected sex, and use of injectable drugs (2)(3) . Other factors can still be highlighted, such as poor access to health services, low levels of education, lack of information and barriers related to gender inequality and social stigmas (4)(5) .…”

“…Despite the presented aspects, the precarious conditions of the Brazilian prison systems pose an additional risk for infection. Precarious areas of confinement and overcrowding favor situations of violence, insalubrity, sedentarism, drug use, poor diet, lack of hygiene, inadequate or incomplete health care, among many others (3,(6)(7) . Furthermore, they favor unprotected sexual practices, homoaffective relationships, and parenteral exposure while making tatoos and piercings (7) .…”

“…The prison environment itself leads to discrimination, violence and sexual abuse. Difficult access to condoms, sharing of sharp objects, and the past history of promiscuity, family violence and drug use increase the vulnerability of these women to Sexually Transmitted Infections (3,(7)(8) . In turn, health care is provided but in a reductionist manner.…”

Objective: to understand the existential experience of children undergoing chemotherapy on the importance of playing. Methods: qualitative research performed in the outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital with five children undergoing chemotherapy. Data were collected through the interviews and analyzed in the light of the Humanistic Nursing Theory. Results: the discourses revealed the children's understanding of their illness and their treatment, evidencing the deprivations experienced by them and the situation of emotional imbalance. Playing, according to the children's reports, elicited positive feelings and represented a way for time to pass faster. Conclusion: the chemotherapy treatment was considered ambiguous, being an unpleasant experience, but necessary for cure. The games in the outpatient chemotherapy service were a viable tool to deal with the discontent before the situation lived, provoking positive feelings such as happiness and satisfaction.

IntroductionThe prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in imprisoned women is high. In the prison school context, education in health is one of the best strategies to achieve positive indicators in terms of health promotion and disease prevention. The use of educational technologies, such as board games, can aid in the process of knowledge acquisition on a given subject matter. This article describes the protocol of a health educational intervention that addresses content about sexually transmitted infections directed to imprisoned women in a prison school.Methods and analysisA quasi-experimental study to test the effect of a board game on 64 imprisoned women’s level of knowledge about sexually transmitted infections. The Previna board game was specifically created and validated for these women. The primary outcome will be the level of knowledge on sexually transmitted infections, measured using a score obtained after the assessment conducted during the initial interview, immediately after the intervention and after 15 days.Ethics and disclosureThis study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Pernambuco (Opinion No. 3 986 050 and CAAE: 30035520.7.0000.5208). The results will be presented to the school and to the Federal University of Pernambuco, as part of the activities of a PhD Thesis in Nursing, and will be disclosed in peer-reviewed journals and scientific events.Trial registration numberRBR-2JWS7DV.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência de infecção por vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), sífilis e hepatite B entre mulheres privadas de liberdade do estado de Roraima e sua correlação com percepções, conhecimento e fatores comportamentais. MÉTODO: Trata-se de estudo de corte transversal, com amostragem sistemática simples, realizado na Cadeia Pública Feminina de Boa Vista, estado de Roraima, no ano de 2017. Foram avaliadas 168 detentas (93,8% da população) por meio de entrevista face a face e testes rápidos. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de alguma infecção sexualmente transmissível (IST) foi de 20,2%, sendo 4,7% de HIV, 15,5% de sífilis, e 0,0% de hepatite B. A análise multivariada confirmou como fatores de risco para adquirir uma IST: ter mais de 30 anos de idade [odds ratio (OR) ajustada: 2,57; IC95% 1,03–6,40); baixa escolaridade (OR ajustada: 2,77; IC95% 1,08–5,05); pouco conhecimento sobre o uso da camisinha (OR ajustada: 2,37; IC95% 1,01–7,31); e achar que não há risco de contrair sífilis (OR ajustada: 2,36; IC95% 1,08–6,50). CONCLUSÃO: A população privada de liberdade constitui um grupo de alta vulnerabilidade às IST. A elevada prevalência dessas infecções pode ser explicada por déficits de conhecimento sobre o assunto, percepções distorcidas e condições peculiares ao aprisionamento, que resultam em comportamento de risco. Ressalta-se a necessidade de implantar programas educativos de prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento de IST para essa população.
