    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze scientific evidence on the implementation and performance of palliative care in Primary Health Care.

    Methods:

    an integrative literature review, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, carried out in the PubMed, SciVerse Scopus and LILACS databases, in December 2020, without a time frame.

    Results:

    22 original scientific articles were analyzed, 14 classified as evidence level VI. The objective was to understand the experiences and roles of professionals, patients and families on palliative care in Primary Health Care, articles focused on the theme of management and organization of health services and on the importance of educational interventions on the subject.

    Final Considerations:

    evidence found relating palliative care in Primary Health Care points to the possibility of this care; health teams work closely with the family and their home, but the need to expand this theme is still perceived.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to identify the scientific production in health about children with congenital heart disease in COVID-19 pandemic times.

    Method:

    this is an integrative review, carried out in June 2020 in the information resources Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Scientific Electronic Library Online Journal Portal (SciELO) and Brazilian Institute of Information Science and Technology (Oasis Ibict).

    Results:

    14 studies composed this review. Most studies pointed to tests, interventional procedures and surgery for children with heart disease in pandemic times; others discussed possible complications of COVID-19 among children with congenital heart disease.

    Conclusion:

    the incipient production of studies and the weak level of evidence denote an important knowledge gap so far, highlighting the need for studies with strong scientific evidence for the formulation of care guidelines aimed at children with heart disease.

    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.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To estimate the incidence and degree of acute radiodermatitis at the end and after the end of treatment in women with breast cancer undergoing hypofractionated radiotherapy.

    Methods:

    Observational, prospective, and longitudinal study, conducted between March 2019 and January 2020, in a radiotherapy outpatient clinic.

    Results:

    Thirty-two women participated in the study, among whom, in the last session of hypofractionated radiotherapy, 15 (46.9%) had radiodermatitis, erythema in 13 (40.6%), and wet peeling in 2 (6.3%). In the post-treatment evaluation, 27 (84.4%) had radiodermatitis, erythema in 17 (53.1%), dry peeling in 8 (25%), and wet peeling in 2 (6.3%).

    Conclusion:

    The general incidence of radiodermatitis after hypofractionated radiotherapy in women with breast cancer was 37.5%, erythema, 12.5%, and dry peeling, 25%. The development of care protocols for the management of radiodermatitis after treatment is of paramount importance.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the processes of meaning production, based on the speeches of nursing professionals, about how they feel about the titles of “angels and heroes” given by society during the pandemic of COVID-19.

    Methods:

    a qualitative, documentary research. Data was collected in October and November 2020 and analyzed from the perspective of the Discourse Analysis proposed by Michel Foucault.

    Results:

    they were organized into two thematic categories: “Angels and heroes? The (not) heroic reality of nursing during the pandemic” and “The search for recognition of the professional work of nursing: between what is said and what is not said”.

    Final considerations:

    the nurses’ speeches enunciate the search for decent conditions for the execution of care, fair wages, and recognition of the professional work by society.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To describe the reorganization of Belo Horizonte’s Mobile Emergency Care Service during the new coronavirus pandemic using the Plan Do-Check-Act quality tool.

    Methods:

    Descriptive study, of the experience report type, on the reorganization of care in a mobile pre-hospital care service during the new coronavirus pandemic, from March to July 2020. The Plan-Do-Check-Act quality tool was applied for the process.

    Results:

    Preparation of care protocol, meetings, training, addition of ambulances, hiring of professionals, and other actions were carried out, with subsequent evaluation and monitoring. When failures or new needs were identified, actions and changes were implemented while keeping monitoring and evaluation during the work routine.

    Final considerations:

    The reorganization of the service through the construction of a protocol and using the Plan-Do-Check-Act as a management tool was essential to promote safe care for professionals and patients.

    Health care of deaf persons during coronavirus pandemics

    Health care of deaf persons during coronavirus pandemics

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2022;75:e20201036

    DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2020-1036

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To reflect about the barriers experienced by the deaf population during the COVID-19 pandemic, the proposals to overcome communication barriers in health care and the role of public policies in effecting the social inclusion of deaf people.

    Methods:

    Reflection based on studies on health care for deaf people, the COVID-19 pandemic and public accessibility policies.

    Results:

    The global crisis of COVID-19 has deepened pre-existing inequalities in the world, in addition to highlighting the vulnerability of people with disabilities, including deaf. Government, institutional and social initiatives to mitigate difficulties in communicating to deaf people have been made, but they are still insufficient to guarantee protection for them in this pandemic and full inclusion in health care.

    Final considerations:

    Social inclusion, supported by law, and the linguistic accessibility of deaf people still need to generate broad and concrete actions so that deaf people can enjoy their rights as citizens.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To reflect on the need to reorganize satellite dialysis units to ensure the safety of patients and workers, focusing on minimizing the risk of contamination by SARS-CoV-2.

    Methods:

    Reflection considering the guidelines of international and Brazilian institutions and scientific articles, with a view to possible adaptations to the Brazilian reality.

    Results:

    The actions suggested and adapted by Dialysis Units from different countries during the pandemic focus on the quality of care and safety of the patient and workers. There was an opportunity to reflect on these actions using the Donabedian Model for quality of care and highlight the nursing team’s role in this context.

    Final considerations:

    The focus on quality and safety related to institutionalized processes and the assessment through indicators can contribute to the management of the outpatient dialysis unit in the context of COVID 19.
