Objectives:
to integrate evidence from studies on auditory perceptual and speech production effects in communication situations with face mask use.
Methods:
an integrative literature review, in MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Embase databases. The guiding question was: what effects on communication (perceptual-auditory and speech production) occur with face mask use?
Results:
searches in electronic databases resulted in 1,478 studies and filtering resulted in 29 final studies.
Conclusions:
mask use has effects on communication, both in perception and speech production, factors that are also related to quality of life, stress and socio-emotional factors. These data can impact on indicators and alerts in favor of adopting strategies to manage mask use, involving speech production and perception when wearing a mask in health services.

Objetivo:
investigar la asociación entre la variabilidad glucémica y la mortalidad en pacientes ingresados en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos.
Métodos:
Se llevó a cabo un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo utilizando una muestra de conveniencia de 30 historias clínicas de pacientes de ambos sexos mayores de 18 años. La variabilidad glucémica se midió utilizando la desviación estándar y la amplitud general. El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando la curva ROC (receiver operating characteristic) y el área bajo la curva (AUC). El nivel de significancia (α) se estableció en un 5% con un intervalo de confianza (IC) del 95%.
Resultados:
El estudio incluyó a 14 pacientes masculinos (46,67%) con una edad media de 60±15 años. Se recopilaron un total de 1503 muestras de glucemia. El análisis AUC para la desviación estándar no mostró ningún resultado estadísticamente significativo (p = 0,966; IC del 95% = [0,283, 0,726]). Por el contrario, la amplitud general tuvo una asociación estadísticamente significativa con la mortalidad (p = 0,049; IC del 95% = [0,514, 0,916]).
Conclusiones:
Este estudio encontró que la variabilidad glucémica medida por la amplitud general está significativamente asociada con la mortalidad del paciente en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos. Estos hallazgos sugieren que el monitoreo de la variabilidad glucémica puede ser un factor importante en el manejo de pacientes críticamente enfermos en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos.

Objetivo:
traducir, adaptar culturalmente y validar el Multidimensional Individual and Interpersonal Resilience Measure para el portugués brasileño.
Método:
después de la traducción inicial, la versión pre-final pasó por rigurosos procedimientos de adaptación cultural. Como resultado, la versión final adaptada fue sometida a un estudio de validez.
Resultados:
los procedimientos de adaptación proporcionaron equivalencia entre las versiones pre-final y original en términos semánticos, idiomáticos, experienciales y conceptuales. Un total de 187 ancianos fueron incluidos en el estudio de validez. El análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) generó un modelo de cinco factores ((RMSEA = 0,030; TLI = 0,959; X = 151,590 p> 0,05). La versión final mostró adecuada consistencia (α de Cronbach = 0,705) y confiabilidad prueba-reprueba (ICC=0,835). No se encontró correlación estadísticamente significativa entre la resiliencia y las variables sociodemográficas y epidemiológicas evaluadas en este estudio.
Conclusión:
EMRII-BR es un instrumento válido y confiable para medir la resiliencia en ancianos brasileños.

Objetivo:
Determinar el nivel de autocompasión e investigar las relaciones entre las variables sociodemográficas y la autocompasión entre estudiantes de pregrado de enfermería en una universidad estatal de Indonesia durante la pandemia de COVID-19
Métodos:
Este estudio utilizó un diseño transversal. Las muestras se seleccionaron mediante una técnica de muestreo aleatorio estratificado proporcional (n=260). Los datos se recopilaron utilizando una versión indonesia de la Escala de Autocompasión, que consta de 6 subescalas: bondad propia, autocrítica, humanidad común, aislamiento, atención plena y sobre identificación. Los datos se analizaron mediante análisis univariado y bivariado.
Resultados:
El 60% de los estudiantes tenían autocompasión moderada. Los estudiantes puntuaron más alto en amabilidad consigo mismos (3,93±1,02) y sobre identificación (3,58±0,94), lo que indica que a menudo intentaban amarse a sí mismos cuando sentían dolor emocional y a menudo se dejaban llevar cuando sucedió algo perturbador. Posteriormente, se encontró una correlación significativa entre la edad y la autocompasión (p<0,05).
Conclusión:
La autocompasión entre los estudiantes de enfermería debe mejorarse por medio de intervenciones como la alfabetización de la compasión, el entrenamiento en atención plena y las técnicas experienciales basadas en la compasión.

Objective:
To identify the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and associated risk factors in long-lived elderly people from three Brazilian regions.
Methods:
This is a multicenter, cross-sectional, and comparative study conducted with elderly people aged 80 years or older.
Results:
Higher prevalence of arterial hypertension were observed among those who use polypharmacy (75.7%), among elderly people aged between 80 and 84 years (33.9%), as well as in elderly people who are overweight (78.2%). The prevalence of diabetes was 24% (RP: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.59-0.98) lower among women compared to men and 2.15 times higher among those who use five or more medications (RP: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.63-2.85).
Conclusions:
In our sample, polypharmacy, body weight, and gender determine the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases: arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus in long-lived elderly people.

Objectives:
to analyze the health vulnerability of young female transgender living with HIV/AIDS.
Methods:
qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, based on the theoretical reference of Social Representation and concept of vulnerability; developed with six transgender women in a reference Hospital for HIV/AIDS. We analyzed the individual interviews, recorded, and transcribed in full, in the IRaMuTeQ software by Similitude Analysis.
Results:
the thematic categories are listed based on the Ayres reference: 1) Individual dimension of vulnerability to HIV/AIDS; 2) Social dimension of vulnerability to HIV/AIDS; 3) Programmatic dimension of the vulnerability.
Final Considerations:
the young female transsexual living with HIV/AIDS experience a context of vulnerability in health associated with a lack of knowledge and difficulties for the realization of self-care. The study evidenced the representations of social abjection and unpreparedness of the health team that compose the Primary Attention in Health in promoting qualified assistance for the execution of the effective and humanized care.

Objectives:
to discuss the (in)visibility of children with special healthcare needs and their families in the Primary Health Care scenario.
Methods:
experience report about the difficulties faced by researchers from different regions of Brazil to locate children with special healthcare needs in the scope of primary care.
Results:
the main reason for these children and their families to be “unknown” and, therefore, not assisted in PHC, is the fact that they are followed-up by institutions/outpatient clinics and specialized and/or public rehabilitation clinics, or even because they have private health insurance.
Final Considerations:
transferring care responsibility to the Primary Health Care teams to specialized and rehabilitation institutions may be related to the lack of knowledge of the care demands of this group, as well as to the relevance of care centered on rehabilitation and the specialty instead of the long-term care, one of the features of primary health care.

Objective:
to verify the validity and reliability of the Psychological Distress Scale for screening mental distress.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study with 75 elderly people. Psychological Distress scale and Self Reporting Questionnaire were used. Criterion validity was verified using Spearman’s correlation and diagnostic accuracy measures. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to investigate reliability.
Results:
the total internal consistency of the Psychological Distress Scale was α=0.844. Concurrent validity between this instrument and the Self Reporting Questionnaire was ρ=0.722 (p<0.001). The best cut-off point for screening mental distress among elderly people was a total score greater than 14, with sensitivity equal to 75.47% and specificity equal to 85.0%.
Conclusions:
the scale was robust for screening mental distress, given its high reliability, in terms of homogeneity, and adequate criterion validity, whose best cut-off point for screening was a score greater than 14.

Objective:
to identify the knowledge and ability of caregivers on hand hygiene in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Method:
a prospective cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to identify the knowledge and it was observed the hygiene technique performance. Data were collected in two units (autologous and allogeneic transplant).
Results:
the 37 participants recognized the importance of hand hygiene and 95.5% related to removal of dirt or infection prevention. 91.9% stated that it was important to clean their hands with soap and water when entering and leaving the room, and 64.9% understood that it was necessary to apply alcoholic solution after washing. On average, the caregivers scored 6.16 steps, when demonstrating the washing technique and 3.91 steps in the friction with alcoholic solution.
Conclusion:
although they recognize the importance of the procedure, there are deficits related to the moment and the correct way of doing it, evidencing the need for strategies aimed at improving this process.
