Qualitative and exploratory study performed in Cuiabá with 20 health professionals with the objective of analyzing the use of child health records by families, from the viewpoint of professionals working in primary health care. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews with thematic content analysis. The results showed that professionals believed that it is the duty of families to take care of child health records and to take them every time they seek health services for their children. However, despite the guidance provided, families seldom use this instrument. Participants also recognized that families have the right to demand the proper completion of data in the records, since this shows that families are interested in their children's health and also helps in the work of professionals. Child health records are an instrument for monitoring and promoting child health; therefore, their use should be known and valued by professionals and by families.

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate health professionals' knowledge about the concept, assessment and intervention in fatigue in children and adolescents with cancer. Method: exploratory study with qualitative approach, with 53 health professionals (10 nurses, 33 assistant nurses, 3 physicians, 3 nutritionists, 2 psychologists and 2 physical therapists). Semi structured interviews were held, which were recorded and analyzed by means of inductive thematic content analysis. Results: the data were organized around three themes: knowledge of health professionals about fatigue; identification of fatigue and interventions to relieve fatigue. Conclusion: the results indicate the health professionals' limited knowledge about fatigue, as well as the lack of investment in their training and continuing education. Most of all, the lack of research on the theme in the Brazilian context remains a barrier to support improvements in care for this symptom in children and adolescents with cancer.

OBJECTIVE: this study reports an association between Common Mental Disorders and the socio-demographic and pharmacotherapy profiles of 106 patients cared for by a Primary Health Care unit in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. METHOD: this is a cross-sectional descriptive exploratory study with a quantitative approach. Structured interviews and validated instruments were used to collect data. The Statistical Package for Social Science was used for analysis. RESULTS: The prevalence of Common Mental Disorders was 50%. An association was found between Common Mental Disorders and the variables occupation, family income, number of prescribed medications and number of pills taken a day. Greater therapy non-adherence was observed among those who tested positive for Common Mental Disorders. CONCLUSION: this study's results show the importance of health professionals working in PHC to be able to detect needs of a psychological nature among their patients and to support the implementation of actions to prevent the worsening of Common Mental Disorders.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To learn the conceptions and actions of health professionals on the care network for women in situations of violence. METHOD A qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study was conducted between April and July 2015 with the participation of 21 health professionals from four primary health care teams in a city of the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Data were collected by means of individual semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used for data systematization. RESULTS Health professionals recognized the importance of the health care network for coping with the problem of violence against women. However, their conceptions and actions were limited by the discoordination or absence of integration among professionals and services of the care network. CONCLUSION The conceptions and actions of health professionals contribute to the discoordination among the services. It is necessary to reflect on the daily practices of care for women in situations of violence.

ResumoO objetivo foi aplicar a Técnica do Incidente Crítico no cumprimento das três primeiras recomendações da Caderneta de Saúde da Criança. Estudo transversal exploratório, utilizando-se a Técnica do Incidente Crítico. Foram entrevistadas 102 mães de crianças (<2anos). Incidentes críticos, positivos ou negativos: adoção do aleitamento materno, confiabilidade dos registros antropométricos, compreensão e interpretação pelas mães, habilidade de comunicação dos profissionais para explicá-los. Teste de proporções (p=0,70). Os resultados apresentaram média de idade das crianças=10,92 meses, 51,96% meninos e 48,04% meninas. A maior frequência de incidentes críticos negativos foram a não adoção do aleitamento materno exclusivo (88,24%), não confiabilidade dos registros antropométricos(81,37%), incompreensão/dificuldade de interpretação destes registros pelas mães (ambas 97,05%) e possível inabilidade de comunicação dos profissionais de saúde (97,05%; α=0,05;Zp=1,64). Destaca-se a aplicação desta técnica na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Conclui-se que o levantamento dos incidentes críticos permitiu inferir sobre o descumprimento das recomendações emanadas da Caderneta de Saúde da Criança. Palavras chave: aleitamento materno; criança; antropometria. AbstractThe objective was to apply the critical incident technique in the conduction of the first three recommendations of the Child Health Handbook. It was performed an exploratory cross-sectional study in which the Critical Incident Technique was applied and 102 mothers of children under two years of age were interviewed. The critical incidents, either positive or negative, were: adoption of maternal breastfeeding, reliability of anthropometric records, understanding/interpretation of these records by mothers, communication capacity of the professionals to explain them. Test of proportions (p=0,70). The results showed that mean age of children=10.92 months, 51.96% boys; 48.04% girls. The highest frequency of negative critical incidents: no adoption of exclusive maternal breastfeeding (88.24%), non-reliability of anthropometric records (81.37%), misunderstanding/difficulty of interpretation of records by mothers (both 97.05%) and possible lack of communication capacity of health professionals(97.05%)(α=0,05;Zp=1,64). The application of this technique in Primary Health Care demonstrates the importance of the study. It was conclude that the critical incidents survey allowed assessing the reasons for non-compliance with the Child Health Handbook recommendations.Keywords: breast feeding; child; anthropometry

Impending Death

Background: Death rattle is the noisy, rattling breathing that occurs in many dying patients. Health professionals intervene because the sound is said to distress attendant relatives. We found no formal study to confirm or refute relatives’ distress, so we decided to ask the relatives. Method: Face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 27 bereaved relatives to investigate their experience of terminal care and what their response had been to the sound of death rattle if this had occurred. Interview transcripts were subjected to thematic content analysis. Results: We found that almost half of the 12 relatives who had heard the sound of death rattle had been distressed by it. The others were either neutral about the sound or found it a helpful signal of impending death. Conclusion: We confirmed that some relatives do find it distressing to hear the sound of death rattle. However, our expectation that relatives are universally disturbed by this sound was unfounded. There is no justification for a ‘blanket’ approach to therapeutic intervention when death rattle occurs. A better understanding is required of how relatives make sense of the sound of death rattle.

The aim of this study was to characterize the sociodemographic conditions and patterns of crack use among women. A descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach was performed in January 2012, using semi-structured interviews with 16 women who use or used crack, and were enrolled in the Damage Reduction Strategy of the municipality of Pelotas, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data were analyzed using the thematic content analysis. A group of young women was identified with low levels of education and income, which perform informal labor activities and have at least one child. The pattern of crack use among these women was identified as the "binge" type, interfering with daily activities, and characterizing the group of women as abusive users. The pattern of crack use among the women, and its relation to issues of gender, pointed to the production of new insertions and discourses, bringing into question pre-defined behaviors in society.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the perceptions of women, prisoners or partners of imprisoned men who experience/experienced intimate partner violence, and how they cope with this situation. Method: a descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach conducted with 21 women. Empirical data collected between March and August 2018, through audio-recorded semi-structured interviews, were submitted to thematic content analysis. Results: women reported experiencing different forms of violence, which triggered suffering and negative commitment in their lives, far beyond the act itself, especially by the emotional and physical marks and their consequences. They also realize that coping with violence is individual responsibility, lived in the counterpoint between the desire to overcome it and passivity. Final considerations: intimate partner violence was uniquely revealed by women as a solitary experience, with permanent consequences in the physical, emotional, patrimonial, sexual and moral spheres, and limited internal and external resources make it difficult to cope with it.

Objective: The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the actions developed in oral health directed toward the institutionalized senior population from the perspective of municipal health managers and oral health professionals in primary care in Brazil. Methods: A qualitative, observational, and analytical study was developed and carried out in 11 municipalities between 2008 and 2010. Semi-structured interviews and analysis by ALCESTE software were used. The results from 48 subjects were analyzed. Results: The analysis revealed a 64% and 77% success rate for the corpus of health managers and oral health professionals, respectively. An Ishikawa diagram was generated using the subjects’ responses to identify the quality problem. Conclusions: This study verified that there is a lack of implementation of public policies directed toward seniors and also highlighted that there was lack of incentives and training to assist seniors in the municipalities. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in greater attention for senior patients who reside in homes for the aged.
