    Nurses’ performance on indigenous and African-Brazilian health care practices

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the performance of nurses from the Estratégia Saúde da Família (Family Health Strategy) on health care practices rooted in African and Indigenous cultures.

    Methods:

    Thematic Oral History was used and interviews were conducted with seven participants, who worked with Primary Health Care in Northeastern Brazil. The analysis was based on Leininger’s Theory of Cultural Care and the intercultural concept of human rights, among others.

    Results:

    nurses are unaware of the religious and historical context of the ethnic groups cared for and do not appreciate their self-care practices in areas with a predominance of African and indigenous cultures. These practices coexist with the hegemonic biomedical model.

    Conclusion:

    the debate on cultural competence in the context of professional qualification and exercise is required, aiming to promote the nursing work in the perspective of diversity and comprehensiveness of health care.

    Accessibility assessment of assistive technology for the hearing impaired

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to assess the automatic accessibility of assistive technology in online courses for the hearing impaired.

    Method:

    evaluation study guided by the Assessment and Maintenance step proposed in the Model of Development of Digital Educational Material. The software Assessor and Simulator for the Accessibility of Sites (ASES) was used to analyze the online course “Education on Sexual and Reproductive Health: the use of condoms” according to the accessibility standards of national and international websites.

    Results:

    an error report generated by the program identified, in each didactic module, one error and two warnings related to two international principles and six warnings involved with six national recommendations. The warnings relevant to hearing-impaired people were corrected, and the course was considered accessible by automatic assessment.

    Conclusion:

    we concluded that the pages of the course were considered, by the software used, appropriate to the standards of web accessibility.

    Functional disability: health conditions and physical activity practice in older adults

    Abstract

    Functional disability: health conditions and physical activity practice in older adults

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):825-832

    DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2016690502

    Views0

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to verify the prevalence of functional disability among older adults and how it can affect their health conditions and the regular practice of physical activities.

    Method:

    this is a household and cross-sectional study conducted with older adults of both sexes. We verified the variables associated with functional disability by Poisson’s regression.

    Results:

    around 420 older adults participated in this study (68.1% of them being women). We observed a statistically significant association between functional disability, the number of chronic diseases, self-assessed health conditions, and the practice of physical activities; the latter only being found among men. Older adults who reported presenting four or more chronic diseases, self-assessed their health conditions as poor, and were not used to practice physical activities, showing high prevalence of functional disability.

    Conclusion:

    considering the changeable character of these variables, we recommend that prevention actions be taken, mainly at primary level, to delay the emergence of disability.

    Organizational culture of a psychiatric hospital and resilience of nursing workers

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):817-824

    Abstract

    Organizational culture of a psychiatric hospital and resilience of nursing workers

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):817-824

    DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2016690501

    Views0

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the organizational culture of a psychiatric hospital and identify the capacity of resilience of nursing workers.

    Method:

    quantitative research. For data collection, were used the Brazilian Instrument for Evaluation of Organizational Culture (IBACO – Instrumento Brasileiro para Avaliação da Cultura Organizacional) and the Resilience Scale (RS).

    Results:

    participants reported the existence of centralization of power and devaluation of workers, despite recognizing the existence of collaboration at work and practices for improving interpersonal relations. In relation to the capacity of resilience, 50% of workers showed high level, and 42.9% a medium level of resilience. The correlation tests revealed negative values between the IBACO and RS domains, indicating that the lower the appreciation of individuals in the institution, the greater their capacity of resilience.

    Conclusion:

    the organizational values reflect the work organization model in the institution that devalues the workers’ needs and requires greater capacity of resilience.

    The Spiritism as therapy in the health care in the epilepsy

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(4):804-810

    DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2016690425i

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to present a brief history of Spiritism, the vision of epilepsy by Spiritism, and the potential of spirituality and religiosity care as complementary and coadjutants treatments in epilepsy.

    Method:

    this is a brief review about the impact of faith, spirituality, and religiosity, particularly the Spiritism philosophy as complementary treatment to neurological disorders (particularly focusing on epilepsy) and mental health. We conduct a review of published articles (about religion/spirituality and epilepsy) in the Pubmed and SciELO databases.

    Conclusion:

    the exercise of spirituality and religiosity can be a positive coping strategy to support the traditional therapy of patients with epilepsy and other neurological disorders. However, it is necessary to demystify myths and beliefs about the epilepsy and improve knowledge about this important health dimension among professionals, patients, and caregivers to explore their full treatment and supportive potential.

    RESUMEN

    Objetivo:

    presentar una breve historia del Espiritismo, la visión de la epilepsia por el Espiritismo, y el potencial de la espiritualidade y religiosidad como tratamientos complementarios y coadyuvantes de la epilepsia.

    Método:

    esta es una breve revisión del impacto de la fe, la espiritualidad y religiosidad, en particular la filosofía espiritual como tratamiento complementario de los trastornos neurológicos (centrada especialmente en la epilepsia) y la salud mental. Para esto, se realizó una revisión de la religiosidad/espiritualidad y la epilepsia en la base de datos PubMed y SciELO.

    Conclusión:

    el ejercicio de la espiritualidad y la religiosidad puede ser una estrategia de afrontamiento y tratamiento positivo para apoyar la terapia tradicional de los pacientes con epilepsia y otros trastornos neurológicos. Sin embargo, es necesario desmitificar muchas creencias sobre la epilepsia así como mejorar el conocimiento sobre este importante aspecto de la dimensión de salud entre profesionales, cuidadores y pacientes para explorar su potencial para el tratamiento y el apoyo.
