O Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS) é o principal elo entre a comunidade e a Unidade de Saúde, no território onde está inserido. Sua dinâmica laboral pode gerar sobrecarga emocional e física que podem impactar negativamente na sua saúde, tornando-se necessária a realização de ações direcionadas à saúde desse trabalhador. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho é relatar a experiência de sessões de Ginástica Laboral (GL) com ACS de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família no município de Itabuna-BA. As sessões de Ginástica Laboral promoveram bem-estar, valorização da saúde do trabalhador e interação grupal. Ações continuadas de promoção à saúde são imprescindíveis para esses profissionais, que muitas vezes têm sua saúde negligenciada pelo serviço de saúde.      Palavras-chave: ginástica laboral; promoção à saúde; agente comunitário de saúde; saúde do trabalhador; unidade de saúde da família.     Abstract The Community Health Agent (CHA) is the main link between the community and the Health Unit, in the territory where it is inserted.

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

Because of the increasing number of transgender people requesting speech-language pathology services, because having gender-incongruent voice and communication has major negative impacts on an individual's social participation and well-being, and because voice and communication training is supported by an improving evidence-base, it is becoming more common for universities to include transgender-specific theoretical and clinical components in their speech-language pathology programs. This paper describes the theoretical and clinical education provided to speech-language pathology students at La Trobe University in Australia, with a particular focus on the voice and communication training program offered by the La Trobe Communication Clinic. Further research is required to determine the outcomes of the clinic's training program in terms of student confidence and competence as well as the effectiveness of training for transgender clients.

Current research on feeding outcomes after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) suggests a need to critically look at the early underpinnings of persistent feeding problems in extremely preterm infants. Concepts of dynamic systems theory and sensitive care-giving are used to describe the specialized needs of this fragile population related to the emergence of safe and successful feeding and swallowing. Focusing on the infant as a co-regulatory partner and embracing a framework of an infant-driven, versus volume-driven, feeding approach are highlighted as best supporting the preterm infant's developmental strivings and long-term well-being.
