Nurses’ performance on indigenous and African-Brazilian health care practices
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):840-846
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2016690504
Views0See moreABSTRACT
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.

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.

Views0ABSTRACT
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.

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.

Objective:
to understand the Generalized Resistance Deficits of people deprived of liberty with hypertension in a Brazilian prison unit.
Method:
qualitative research, anchored in Salutogenesis, carried out with 38 people with hypertension from a Brazilian prison unit, from February to July 2022, with a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions, whose analysis was thematic, explaining the limitations to health in prison.
Results:
13 Generalized Resistance Deficits were reported, mostly related to the prison environment and, to a lesser extent, to the social group and the individual, respectively. Living in prison for people with hypertension implies living with a high number of Generalized Resistance Deficits, accentuating the movement towards the disease pole.
Final considerations:
knowing Generalized Resistance Deficits allows directing health promotion to support the use of available Generalized Resistance Resources and contributes to the expansion of intersectoral policies.

The level of knowledge, according to the scores converted into a scale of 0 to 100, was classified as: 0-50% (low), 51-75% (medium), and over 75% (high). Multiple regression was used in the analysis of associated factors.
Results:
The global score (average of the scores of components 1 and 2) median knowledge was 68.6%. Overall knowledge about tuberculosis was positively associated with the length of professional experience, having received training on tuberculosis, and access to the tuberculosis guide/handbook.
Conclusions:
Investments in training and capacity-building strategies for ACS will contribute to increasing these professionals’ knowledge, resulting in greater success in tuberculosis control.

Objetivos:
describir el perfil de los ancianos que acceden a internet para buscar información de salud e identificar los factores que pueden influir en las decisiones de los ancianos sobre su salud a partir de la información recopilada en línea.
Métodos:
391 ancianos respondieron a un cuestionario online sobre hábitos y satisfacción con la información de salud recogida en internet. El procesamiento de datos implicó regresión logística.
Resultados:
la educación superior reduce en un 44% la probabilidad de que un anciano siga las recomendaciones de salud en los sitios web. Sin embargo, las actividades sociales y la salud autopercibida aumentan la posibilidad de seguir las recomendaciones en un 83% y un 71%, respectivamente. La creencia de que internet promueve hábitos saludables aumenta 29,2 veces la probabilidad de que un anciano siga un consejo.
Consideraciones Finales:
conocer el perfil de los ancianos que utilizan internet puede ayudar a los profesionales a formular políticas públicas y construir buenas plataformas de información sobre salud y bienestar.

Objectives:
to describe the profile of older adults who access the internet to search for health information and identify the factors that can influence older adults’ decisions about their health based on information collected online.
Methods:
391 older adults answered an online questionnaire regarding habits and satisfaction with information about health collected on the internet. Data processing involved Logistic Regression.
Results:
higher education reduces by 44% the likelihood of an older adult following the health recommendations on internet sites. However, social activities and self-perceived health increase the possibility of following the recommendations by 83% and 71%, respectively. The belief that the internet promotes healthy habits increases by 29.2 times the probability of an older adult following the advice.
Final Considerations:
knowing the profile of older adults who use the Internet can help professionals formulate public policies and build good information platforms on health and well-being.
