DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2015680104i
Views0See moreObjective:
the objective was to assess the level of physical activity (LPA) and the quality of life QL of the professionals who work in ICU.
Method:
this was a cross-sectional study carried out in Adult ICUs. LPA was assessed by the International Questionnarie of Physical Activity – short form (IQPA-SF) and the QL by the Medical Outcomes Study 36 (SF-36) questionnaire.
Results:
it was classified active 50.89% out of a total of 59 professionals. Nursing technicians were considered the most active with 60.6%. The QL of the professionals who were considered active were better when compared to inactives, with statistical differences to the category of physical aspects limitation, social aspects and mental health. The working hours were higher than recommend, the physicians were higher than the physical therapist, nurses and technicians nurses (p = 0.046).
Conclusion:
physically active professionals who work in ICU had higher quality of life probably why have lower hours of work and consequently more free time to engage in physical activity.

Objective:
to identify the prevalence of low birth weight in the city of São Paulo.
Method:
epidemiological cross-sectional study with data collected by means of the Brazilian Live Birth Information System related to births occurred in the city of São Paulo between 2007 and 2013. Maternal, gestational, childbirth, and neonatal variables were analyzed descriptively and by association.
Results:

The risk factors identified include maternal age, not having a partner, low maternal level of education, other race rather than white, pre-term pregnancy, multiple births, low number of prenatal check-ups, and cesarean delivery.

Objective:
to investigate the association between gait speed and the cognitive score of elderly patients enrolled in a Basic Health Unit.
Method:
a quantitative cross-sectional study with 203 elderly, a sample calculated based on the estimated population proportion. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, gait speed test (GS) and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).
Results:
the illiterate patients had a mean MMSE=19.33(±3.7) and GS = 0.76m/s (±0.3); those with low/medium education had a MMSE = 25.43(±2.8) and GS = 0.92m/s (±0.2); and the elderly with higher education had a MMSE = 27.33(±2.9) and GS=1.12m/s (±0.3).There was a weak correlation (R2=00354) between gait speed and cognitive score, with statistical significance (Prob>F = 0.0072) and a positive linear trend.
Conclusion:
the better cognitive score the higher the gait speed; the illiterate elderly were those with lower gait speed, thereby indicating a poorer physical performance.

Objective:
to identify self-care measures to manage fluid and dietary restrictions and assess their effectiveness.
Method:
descriptive-correlational study and cluster analysis with 254 chronic renal failure patients on regular hemodialysis program, handled by hemodiafiltration. We evaluated the effectiveness of self-care by interdialytic weight gain (IWG) and by potassium and phosphorus serum pre-dialysis serum levels.
Results:
several self-care measures were significantly correlated with a lower IWG and a lower level of pre-dialysis phosphorus. Patients most often use measures to reduce salt consumption than measures to restrict potassium and dietary phosphorus. The spouse provides important support dietary management. Subjects who use more often the self-care measure are mostly female, are older, less IWG and have a higher Kt/V.
Conclusion:
these results can contribute to the nursing educational support.

Objectives:
to analyze the association between recurrence of emergency service visits due to lack of blood pressure and/or glycemic control with sociodemographic variables and disease registration in Primary Care.
Methods:
quantitative study, which consulted medical records of people who attended these services two or more times for 26 months. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression models were used in analysis.
Results:
most people did not have hypertension and/or diabetes record in their Primary Care records. The absence of this record was more frequent in males, aged between 18 and 59 years, with low education and lack of blood pressure. There was association between greater number of people seeking these services in the same year and not monitoring the chronic condition in specialized care.
Conclusions:
people who do not follow up hypertension and/or diabetes in Primary Care are more likely to need assistance due to blood pressure and/or glycemic management.
