Intervening Factors

Objective To evaluate the available scientific literature on factors that may intervene in the adequate feeding of infants vertically-exposed to HIV. Methods This was an integrative review of the literature, performed on the LILACS, PubMed and Scopus databases in February 2017. The search was guided by the question “What are the factors involved in feeding infants vertically-exposed to HIV.” Selected studies met the inclusion criteria of being research articles published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Articles excluded were those on exclusive breastfeeding. There was no need to perform a temporal cut off of the studies. Results In all, the 32 primary studies selected showed that intervening factors were of three types: individual, such as maternal feelings and desires, beliefs, and practical difficulties; social, such as socioeconomic conditions, social support, and stigma; and political, such as health services structure and organization, supplies, health care guidance, and the knowledge and attitudes of health care professionals. Conclusions The factors that interfere with feeding infants vertically-exposed to HIV may be independent or associated with each other. To reduce the risk of inadequate nutrition and its associated diseases, actions must be taken to identify and minimize these factors, guaranteeing a better quality of life and reduction of infant morbidity and mortality.

Knowledge And Attitudes

Introdução: A febre maculosa (FM) é uma doença transmitida por carrapatos, o que, no Brasil, preocupa as autoridades do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) por apresentar elevados coeficientes de letalidade. Objetivo: Descrever os conhecimentos e as atitudes de prevenção sobre a FM entre profissionais do SUS. Métodos: Foi realizado entre os meses de outubro a dezembro de 2015, um inquérito sobre os conhecimentos e as atitudes de prevenção sobre a FM entre os profissionais da saúde. Um questionário na plataforma FormSUS foi submetido a 426 profissionais de todo o Brasil que previamente já haviam participado de capacitações e atividades que envolviam o tema em questão. Vinte unidades federadas foram respondedoras da pesquisa (112/426). Foi possível verificar que a maioria dos profissionais de saúde conhece as condutas de notificação e de investigação epidemiológica. As incorporações recentes no programa de vigilância epidemiológica são de conhecimento da maioria dos respondentes. A rotatividade dos profissionais foi mencionada como principal dificultador das ações de vigilância da doença. Ações de fortalecimento dos programas de vigilância são realizadas de forma esporádica, somente no momento da ocorrência de casos de FM e não ocorrem de forma integral no âmbito do SUS. Conclusão: Cabe a cada segmento do SUS buscar seguir as diretrizes do sistema de vigilância epidemiológica da FM para que, de forma integral, se consiga reverter o panorama de morbimortalidade desta importante doença no Brasil.

Workplace violence can be in the form of aggression, harassment or simply physical infliction of harm towards nurses. It can arise from many sources but primarily they are patient inflicted violence in different forms. It can be a physical violence, emotional or a combination of both. Incidence of violence towards health care professionals is a recognized global public health issue. Previous studies have already suggested that health care professionals, particularly nurses, have a higher risk of experiencing workplace violence than other professionals. This integrative review looked into the violence where patients are the primary source, as well as the types and impact of violence amongst psychiatric mental health nurses happening worldwide. Further, it looked into the nurses’ road to recovery from the experience of violence and what hospitals and facilities are advocating in stopping these events or at least minimizing the frequency of such acts. Published studies considered in this review found that nurses’ experienced physical pain, fear, anxiety, frustration, distress, resentment, apathy, job dissatisfaction and anger following the violent incident. Nurses after their exposure to a series of violence from their patients’ experience dramatic changes in their well-being.
