    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To construct and validate three clinical scenarios for training dependent persons’ informal caregivers.

    Methods:

    Methodological study, conducted between January and August 2021, in a municipality in the northwest of the state of Paraná. It was developed in two stages: construction of scenarios; and content validation by experts (n = 12). To estimate the degree of agreement between the experts, the content validity index was used, and 80% was considered an acceptable rate of agreement.

    Results:

    The simulation scenarios proved appropriate, obtaining an average value of 91.6%. However, some adjustments were made in their organization pertaining clarity in the wording of guidelines, as suggested by the expert validators.

    Conclusions:

    The construction and validation of the clinical scenarios proved to be adequate and relevant for use in the training of informal caregivers of dependent persons.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To analyze the mortality rate of COVID-19 among children and adolescents aged 0 to 14 years.

    Methods:

    Ecological and exploratory study of children’s mortality rate by COVID-19 in Brazil, from February to October 2020. The study used the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome database to collect the data and made the analysis using descriptive spatial statistics by age and race/color classification.

    Result:

    The mortality rate due to COVID-19 represented 1.34 deaths per one hundred thousand in the total group evaluated. The age group with the highest frequency and mortality rate was 1 to 4 years of age. There is a higher frequency of deaths in the brown and Indigenous population.

    Conclusion:

    The distribution of deaths due to COVID-19 is unequal in the national territory, and there is a wide variation in the mortality rate by age and race/color groups.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to identify the prevalence and factors associated with the development of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.

    Methods:

    a cross-sectional study, conducted from June 2018 to August 2019. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes was used to classify acute kidney injury. A significant value was set at p<0.05.

    Results:

    a total of 212 patients were included, of whom 35.8% evolved into an acute kidney injury. Patients with acute kidney injury had hypertension, higher levels on severity scores and a higher baseline creatinine rate> 1.5 mg/dL, also, when applied logistic regression, were 7 times more likely to develop acute kidney injury, Odds Ratio 7.018. More than half (56.6%) of the patients with acute kidney injury died. Moreover, 26.7% of these patients developed pressure sore.

    Conclusions:

    the prevalence of kidney injury was high (35.8%). The patients who developed it had a higher severity, mortality, and pressure sore index.

    Implications of Cannabis and Cannabinoid Use in COVID-19: Scoping Review

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to identify and synthesize studies on the effects of cannabis use and its relation with SARS-CoV-2, as well as the therapeutic possibilities of using cannabinoids in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

    Methods:

    scoping review, in the BVS, PubMed, SCIELO, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, MedNar, CAPES and ProQuest databases, with no language restriction and year limitation. Narrative synthesis was performed.

    Results:

    cannabis use causes changes in the respiratory and vascular system, it reduces the production of cytokines, which affects the users’ immune system, increasing the susceptibility to infection and progression of COVID-19. However, studies have suggested the use of cannabinoids in the prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19, due to their anti-inflammatory effect.

    Conclusions:

    the use of inhaled cannabis increases the progression and severity of the infection. On the other hand, the benefits of cannabinoids seem promising to modulate the immune system, but it needs further studies.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To reflect on the role of Brazilian nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering as a historical landmark the bicentenary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, a precursor of modern nursing, celebrated in 2020.

    Method:

    Theoretical-reflective study, based on Florence Nightingale’s environmental theory through a literature review, carried out in international and national virtual news from different sources and added to the authors’ experiences related to the pandemic.

    Results:

    It was possible to identify the weaknesses experienced by nurse practitioners as to contagion by COVID-19, the routine of exposure to risks, the lack of adequate protection in many scenarios, the high rates of illness, and also deaths that occurred in this profession.

    Final considerations:

    Florence Nightingale’s Environmental Theory describes the importance of the adequacy of the work environment. It also emphasizes the value of this professional for contemporary nursing and the redefinition of this professional category during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    To analyze the temporal trend of mortality from sickle cell anemia in Brazil, by region, in the period 1997-2017.

    Methods:

    epidemiological study, with an ecological design, with a temporal trend, carried out with data from the Mortality Information System. For descriptive analysis, absolute and relative frequencies were used. In the correlation analysis, the ANOVA test was used, followed by Tukey’s post-test. The temporal trend was obtained using the cubic polynomial regression test.

    Results:

    6,813 deaths from sickle cell anemia were registered. Brown individuals (50.87%) were more frequent, with a predominance of males (50.4%), aged between 25 and 34 years and a higher incidence of deaths in the Midwest (0.25/100 thousand inhabitants). The time curve showed an increasing trend of deaths in the country between 1997 and 2015 (R2 = 0.98).

    Conclusions:

    sickle cell anemia showed increasing mortality in the 21 years analyzed and alerts health professionals and managers.
