    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the implications of health conditions on rural workers’ quality of life in the context of soybean production.

    Method:

    a cross-sectional study, with an intentional sample of 299 male rural workers. Data collection took place between October and December 2019. The following instruments were used: World Health Organization Quality Life-bref; Rural Workers’ Living & Health Conditions questionnaire; International Physical Activity Questionnaire; Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye-opener. They were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics, using bivariate (Mann-Whitney; Kruskal-Wallis) and multivariate tests (generalized additive models for location, scale and shape).

    Results:

    the presence of a diagnosis of morbidity, alcohol dependence, occupational accidents and absenteeism implied a decrease in workers’ quality of life scores.

    Conclusion:

    the existence of unfavorable health conditions has a negative impact on rural soybean workers’ quality of life.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to present the validation process of a Grounded Theory on the management of palliative care at home by a caregiver of a family member who experiences a death/dying process.

    Methods:

    a qualitative, explanatory research, which validated a theoretical matrix through a conversation circle containing 15 family caregivers and nine healthcare professionals, in December 2018.

    Results:

    forty-six propositions were validated regarding family caregivers’ contextual, causal, intervening conditions, consequences and action strategies to deal with the dying and death process of a family member. Conversation circles encouraged dialogue and (re)signification of the senses and knowledge of those involved, proving to be a way of educating and promoting the exercise of citizenship by participants.

    Final Considerations:

    the conversation circle made it possible for participants to interact and share information and experiences regarding home care for palliative patients and their families.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to identify primary care nurses’ learning styles in the light of David Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory.

    Methods:

    a descriptive and exploratory qualitative study. A semi-structured interview script was used for data collection and content analysis for data processing.

    Results:

    primary care nurses showed different learning styles: diverging, which combines active experimentation and reflective observation; assimilating, which combines reflective observation and abstract conceptualization; converging, which associates abstract conceptualization and concrete experience; and accommodating, which unites concrete experience and active experimentation.

    Final Considerations:

    learning through experience requires that knowledge be understood and transformed. Nurses learn in different ways, as they have different learning styles. Therefore, recognizing nurses’ learning styles is important to foster ongoing professional development and ensure safe nursing care.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze the evidence available in literature on factors associated with inadequate treatment of syphilis in pregnant women.

    Methods:

    an integrative review, carried out in the LILACS, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed and EMBASE databases, with controlled descriptors therapeutic and prenatal syphilis.

    Results:

    nine publications composed the interpretative analysis, in which low education, income and maternal age, temporary lack of medication and HIV infection were associated with inadequate treatment of syphilis during pregnancy, in addition to delay or absence of prenatal care and receiving the 1st dose of penicillin, lack of tests or treatment less than 30 days before childbirth, and partners’ low compliance with treatment.

    Final Considerations:

    among the main factors associated with inadequate treatment, clinical and sociodemographic aspects stand out, as well as failures in drug dispensing, prescription and monitoring of treatment of pregnant women and their partners by the health system.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to identify and synthesize scientific evidence on preventing medical adhesive-related skin injuries in adult intensive care patients.

    Methods:

    this is a scoping review based on PRISMA-ScR recommendations and the technique proposed by Joanna Briggs Institute. PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and Embase databases were searched using “Injuries AND Adhesives AND Skin AND Medical” descriptors”.

    Results:

    1,329 studies were identified, and after analysis, the final sample consisted of nine articles. We obtained two experts’ consensus, three case studies, two cross-sectional studies, one prospective cohort study, and one literature review regarding the type of studies.

    Final Considerations:

    the synthesized evidence allowed us to list health care measures to prevent medical adhesive-related skin injuries. The professional must know how to identify the skin injuries associated with medical adhesives and the main strategies for their prevention.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to understand how religiosity can influence the health of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders, based on comprehensive care.

    Methods:

    this is an integrative literature review, with the inclusion of articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, between 2010 and 2018.

    Results:

    the critical analysis and qualitative synthesis of the 24 selected studies were categorized into two subtopics: The influence of religiosity in promoting comprehensive mental health care; Mental health versus religiosity: influencing conditions for effective access to comprehensive care.

    Final considerations:

    a positive influence of religiosity was identified in the lives of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders; however, evidence shows that health teams do not feel comfortable and prepared to work with religiosity as an expression of spirituality. This being one of the dimensional aspects of health, it can be inferred, on the results, the existence of this gap in the comprehensive care approach.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the understanding of mothers about sickle cell disease and/or trait of the family from a diagnosed child.

    Methods:

    this is a qualitative study, using a semi-structured interview with 23 mothers, at a sickle cell disease outpatient clinic of a public institution, from October to December 2017. Analysis was thematic.

    Results:

    all participants had sickle cell trait as well as the parents of their children. Twenty children were diagnosed with sickle cell disease by Heel Prick Test, and three, after hospitalization due to the disease. Most did not know how to report the presence of the trait or disease in relatives other than nuclear.

    Final considerations:

    diagnosis cannot be restricted to the result of neonatal screening, requiring that preventive information on sickle cell crises be reinforced. It is recommended to search for other affected relatives to learn about their genetic condition, reflecting on their reproductive decisions.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    Understand the beliefs, knowledge, and actions of nursing technicians on breastfeeding as a form of non-pharmacological intervention to relieve pain in newborns and infants during immunization.

    Methods:

    Qualitative study carried out through semi-structured interviews with nine nursing technicians from three Basic Health Units in a city in the state of São Paulo. The theoretical approach of the Belief Model and the methodological framework of Thematic Analysis supported this study.

    Results:

    Three themes originated: Beliefs, Knowledge, and Actions of nursing technicians.

    Final considerations:

    Despite knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding as the most effective method for relieving pain in newborns and infants during vaccination, their restrictive beliefs overrode the evidence, leading them to act in ways that discourage or prevent the mother from breastfeed during vaccination. Formal training is recommended to align with current evidence-based practices.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze the social representations of patients with cancer regarding oncologic surgery.

    Methods:

    a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory was conducted with 126 participants between October 2021 and May 2022 in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. A characterization questionnaire, free evocations of the inducing term “surgery”, and semi-structured interviews with 60 participants were applied. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel® and IRaMuTeQ.

    Results:

    the central core of the representation is composed of fear, cure, hope, and removing the disease. The analysis of interviews resulted in six classes that highlight the social changes caused by treatment as well as the need for a support network to cope with the surgical process.

    Final Considerations:

    the representations reflect fear and hope towards the procedure and the desire to remove the disease, thus translating the cure through surgery.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to understand the perspective of nurses on the use of telemonitoring in the management of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension in primary care.

    Methods:

    this qualitative research involved sixteen nurses from eight municipalities in Paraná. Data were collected between November 2022 and January 2023 through inperson or remote interviews, which were audio-recorded and subjected to content analysis.

    Results:

    according to the nurses, telemonitoring enhances users’ knowledge about these conditions, communication and connection with the team, and productivity. However, the lack of electronic resources and equipment, high staff turnover, low user adherence, and the limited availability of professional time present significant challenges.

    Final Considerations:

    the effective implementation and operation of telemonitoring in the management of people with diabetes and hypertension involve both potential benefits and barriers. It is essential to have the availability of human and technological resources, managerial support, and the commitment of professionals and users.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze palliative care production developed by health professionals to home care patients.

    Methods:

    this is an exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, using the transpersonal care theoretical framework. Thirteen interviews were conducted with health professionals and 18 observations were conducted on different cases. Content analysis was performed using MAXQDA©.

    Results:

    actions performed: maintenance and follow-up measures to people eligible for palliative care, in acts of dialogue and “listening” to caregivers and users, conducting guidelines for the care and self-care process, performing technical procedures, delivery of materials, referrals and medical prescriptions to users.

    Final Considerations:

    it is perceived the need for advances in the implementation of government policies in Brazil that insert palliative care into the Health Care Network through educational, managerial and care actions that ensure human dignity, thus allowing the development of these and other palliative care interventions.
