    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to assess sleep quality in menopausal women and its association with symptoms related to this period.

    Method:

    this is a cross-sectional, analytical and correlational study. Sleep was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; and climacteric symptoms, according to the Menopause Rating Scale. To compare the total score and each Menopause Rating Scale domain with the PSQI classification, the Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test was used. P<0.05 was considered significant.

    Results:

    261 women (67.8%) were classified as bad sleepers. There was a positive and significant correlation between the sleep scale scores and the total menopause score and its domains. Women categorized as poor sleepers had worse scores on the menopause symptom scale.

    Conclusion:

    women with worse sleep quality revealed greater severity of symptoms related to menopause.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To analyze the factors associated with occupational stress among nursing workers in health services of medium complexity.

    Methods:

    Epidemiological, cross-sectional, exploratory study. A randomly selected sample of 126 nursing professionals from medium complexity services in three cities in the state of Bahia (Santo Antônio de Jesus, Feira de Santana and Itabuna) was investigated. Data were collected in 2011 and 2012. The demand-control model proposed by Karasek was used to assess occupational stress. Simultaneous analysis of occupational stressors was performed using Poisson regression with robust variance.

    Results:

    The prevalence of occupational stress among nursing professionals was 77%. Occupational stress was associated with the professional category of nursing technician (p=0.01).

    Conclusion:

    The data indicates a concerning situation of exposure to occupational stressors, which requires coping strategies in order to protect the health of the worker.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze the factors associated with suicidal ideation in students from healthcare graduation courses.

    Methods:

    quantitative, cross-sectional study, with 251 students from the courses of radiology, speech-language therapy, medicine, nutrition, health service management, and nursing, from a federal higher education institution in the Southeast of Brazil. Data were collected from August to October 2019, using an electronic questionnaire.

    Results:

    the prevalence of suicidal ideation among participants was 26.33%. In the final logistic regression model, only depressive symptoms were associated with suicidal ideation. Having symptoms of depression increased the chances of suicidal ideation 2.6 times.

    Conclusion:

    the high prevalence of suicidal ideation and its associated factors constitutes a situational diagnosis that demands the elaboration of public and institutional policies, focused on the promotion and attention to the mental health of the students.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze theoretical conceptions of Eliot Freidson’s Sociology of Professions scoped on health and nursing professions.

    Methods:

    Eight nurses were interviewed, all involved in the development of the professional Council on the timeframe from 1975 to 1986. Documental resources were Laws, Ordinances, Resolutions, Reports, Meeting Minutes and Public Deeds. Information was organized as from literature and Eliot Freidson’s conceptions, and thematic content analysis was carried out.

    Results:

    the concepts authored by Eliot Freidson allowed for the development of a concept chart that portrays the nursing profession and that may be expanded for the other occupations in the health field, in consonance with professional organization in the country.

    Final Considerations:

    Eliot Freidson’s framework, in interpretation for nursing, consolidates the profession with relative autonomy, expertise by Nursing Care Systematization and credentialism by professional normalizations.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to verify the association between knowledge and adherence to foot self-care practices performed by patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.

    Methods:

    cross-sectional, descriptive study carried out with 197 patients in basic health units located in the Northeast region of Brazil. For data collection, we used a semi-structured questionnaire that addressed issues inherent to knowledge and Diabetes Self-Care Activities.

    Results:

    we observed that patients with moderate knowledge about self-care practices were more likely to perform foot self-examination, dry the interdigital spaces, moisturize their feet with creams and oils, observe the presence of mycosis and ingrown toenail when compared to patients with insufficient knowledge.

    Conclusions:

    the patients’ level of knowledge was closely related to the self-care activities carried out, which reinforces the importance of nurses working on training those on essential health care.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To identify the sociodemographic and clinical profile of COVID-19 patients; measure workload and make associations between clinical variables.

    Methods:

    Cross-sectional study with 150 adult COVID-19 patients in an intensive care unit (from March to June 2020). Data from the electronic medical record in the first 24 hours of hospitalization: gender, age, education, origin, comorbidities, invasive mechanical ventilation, prone maneuver, renal replacement therapy, pressure injury, Braden, Nursing Activities Score, diagnoses, and nursing care. Descriptive statistical analysis, associations between clinical variables and age group.

    Results:

    Male (55.3%); mean age, 59 years; hypertensive (57.3%); obese (50.6%); diabetic (34%); invasive mechanical ventilation (66.7%); pronated (20.6%); hemodialysis (15.3%); Nursing Activities Score average, 86%. Twenty-eight nursing diagnoses and 73 cares were found.

    Conclusion:

    Patients required highly complex support. There was a significant association between pressure injury and workload with the prone maneuver. Nursing diagnoses and care reflect the needs of critical patients.

    Psychosocial factors in nursing work and occupational risks: a systematic review

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2021;74:e20200198

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to identify, in international scientific production, the main psychosocial factors in nursing work, found through the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) application.

    Methods:

    a systematic review study of psychosocial factors at work among nursing professionals, who used COPSOQ in the assessment of work environments.

    Results:

    fifteen articles were identified, which highlighted as main psychosocial dimensions of nursing work demands, work organization, social relationships and leadership, work-home interface, workplace health and well-being and offensive behaviors.

    Conclusion:

    the high demands for cognitive, emotional work and work pace were identified in the nursing routine. Management support had a positive impact. Physical and psychological violence and shift work interfere in family life, aggravating the fatigue of these professionals. Interventions for reducing work stress presuppose the identification of psychosocial factors involved in nursing work.

    HIV infection in pregnant women and its challenges for the prenatal care

    HIV infection in pregnant women and its challenges for the prenatal care

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2021;74:e20190784

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To analyze the epidemiological profile of HIV infections in pregnant women.

    Methods:

    Analytical study with a quantitative approach.

    Results:

    The HIV rate in pregnant women increased from 1.5/1000 babies born alive, in 2010, to 3.3/1000 in 2017. There was a significant association between the prenatal and the variables educational level (p<0.0001), occupation (p=0.0105), gestational age (p < 0.0001), and type of delivery (p < 0.0001). The mean rate of adherence to the antiretroviral treatment in the prenatal was 68.8% (DP = ± 3.7).

    Conclusion:

    The high rates of HIV detection in pregnant women suggest the need to intensify the health care to women during the prenatal, guaranteeing an integral care, early diagnoses, and enhancing the strategies to improve the adherence to the antiretroviral treatment, aiming to achieve the viral suppression of the mother by the time of childbirth, thus diminishing the risk of a vertical transmission.
