DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2016-0428
Views1See moreABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the meanings attributed by nursing professionals in psychiatry to spirituality and its relationship with care.
Method:
Clinical-qualitative, with appreciation of symbolic meanings. We interviewed 18 individuals for a semi-structured script of open questions and the data were analyzed in the light of psychoanalytic hermeneutics. The discussion was undertaken with the overlap of understanding of the sacred symbol, psychological and the meaning of life.
Results:
Different spiritualities are interposed by personal restlessness and the experience of transience. Spirituality aids in social functions, personal balance and commitment to endure the anguish of transience. Among professionals, it has been shown as an ethical-combative attitude to evil forms, but there is a restriction in dealing with patients’ spirituality.
Final considerations:
The meanings pointed to the limits of human reason, resembling caregivers and patients in subjective conditions by which they avoid spirituality in psychiatry. It is suggested that spiritual attention be given to professionals.

Objective:
To investigate the perception and attitude of health professionals (HPs) about the patient participation in hand hygiene (HH).
Method:
A cross-sectional study with 150 HPs from a university hospital in Brazil. A descriptive analysis was conducted.
Results:
Simple hand hygiene was the preferred method of HPs, rather than hand rubbing with alcohol-based solutions. A total of 83.3% of the HPs supported the patient participation in reminding them about HH, but 48% reported that they would feel uncomfortable; 45.3%, comfortable; and 20.7% were familiar with the “Patients for Patient Safety” program.
Conclusion:
HPs showed limited knowledge about HH, opposing recommendations on the topic. The contradiction between the HPs acceptance and attitude when questioned by the patient regarding HH was revealed, reflecting a lack of knowledge about the WHO program and the need to implement educational practices in health.

Objective:
To verify the temporal trend of neonatal mortality in the health regions of Pernambuco between 2000 and 2020.
Method:
A time-series ecological study was conducted, analyzing the total neonatal mortality rate and its early and late components. For regression analysis, Joinpoint Regression was applied, trends were classified, and annual and average percentage changes were calculated for the period, with a significance level of 95%.
Results:
The average neonatal mortality rate in Pernambuco was 11.5 during the studied period. A decreasing trend in neonatal mortality rate was observed, especially in the early component. The region where the state capital is located showed the fastest decrease across all components.
Conclusion:
The temporal trend of neonatal mortality was decreasing; however, the rate of reduction was not uniform across the health regions of the state, and the implementation of the Mãe Coruja Pernambucana Program did not impact the trend in neonatal mortality.

a predominance of patients in the categories of semi-intensive (46.5%) and intermediate care (44.0%) was found, with a prevalence of unassisted bath (58.4%) in the total sample, and bed bath (69.3%) in the semi-intensive care patients. The level of agreement between two pairs of raters was considered good.
Conclusion:
the systematic application of the instrument was useful as a complementary measure of the level of patient dependence, and may contribute to the improvement of the working process, refl ecting on management decision-making with regard to nursing workload

Dietary intake and stress in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2015;68(5):810-816

Objective:
to assess whether dietary intake of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) meets national and international recommendations and whether there is a relationship with the levels of stress.
Method:
a cross-sectional study with 150 patients with ACS, who were interviewed with the Food Frequency Questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale-10.
Results:
daily intake above the recommendations: cholesterol (92%), fiber (42.7%) and protein (68%); intake below the recommendations: potassium (88%) and carbohydrates (68.7%); intake according to the recommendations: sodium (53.3%) and lipids (53.3%). Most patients with inadequate dietary intake (54%) were stressed or highly stressed. There was a signifi cant association between a lower stress level and a higher fi ber intake.
Conclusion:
in patients with ACS, dietary intake did not meet the guideline recommendations, and a lower fi ber intake occurs concomitantly with higher stress levels. Educational efforts can support patients in dietary intake adequacy and stress control.
