Conclusion and implications for the practice: the professionals recognize the importance of registries in the detection of tuberculosis, but point out obstacles that make it impossible to apply them in daily life. This information can help municipal managers to reassess the instrument by making advances in the operability of registries in the detection of tuberculosis.

The older the health workers were, the more satisfied they felt on their telephone follow-up consultation. The higher the previous experience the more satisfaction was showed. There are gender differences and women seems to be more adapted. CONCLUSIONS TM can be implemented without much effort, although the time, methods and resources used must be managed.

Addressing Latino childhood obesity requires effective health promotion programs and culturally resonant health professionals. The current profiles of public health professionals and registered dietitians point to the need to increase the number of Latino students trained in community-based participatory research and engagement of underserved populations. To address this workforce gap, the Center for Latino Community Health, Evaluation, and Leadership Training developed the Sanos y Fuertes: Healthy & Strong Graduate Research Fellowship to provide Latino graduate students with research training, professional development, and mentorship. Five cohorts of seven graduate students participated in a yearlong experiential learning program. Graduate research fellows received monthly research and professional development training from faculty, staff, and community health workers. Furthermore, fellows engaged in mentored research through the development and implementation of a Latino childhood obesity prevention curriculum and intervention. A mixed-method evaluation approach was used to assess the effectiveness of the program. Fellows completed baseline, posttraining, and follow-up assessments. Assessment surveys measured training experiences (e.g., research methods, community engagement), confidence (e.g., research methods, health education), and knowledge and skills (e.g., community health program skills). The training resulted in significant increases in skills and confidence between pre- and postassessments that were sustained at follow-up. Based on these findings, we recommend that student training programs include research as experiential learning with multidisciplinary, interprofessional teams and that community-based, community-engaged, or translational research teams include community health workers as integral members for research with marginalized, underserved populations.

This study analyzed the labeling of medications in Brazil based on the perception of health professionals and users in order to propose modifications and improvements that avoided the error of medication use. The qualitative approach was used to collect data, and the semi-structured interview technique was performed among health professionals and the focal group technique among the users. This collection took place throughout 2017. The main difficulties encountered by drug product respondents were similar labels, the difficulty of finding the items on the labels, the different information on the primary and secondary packaging of the medicines and the difficulty in visualizing information in the labels. And the suggestions were to remove the unnecessary information labels that are considered obvious; and adding or highlighting the dosage information area, the route of administration, the mode of preparation of the medicines and storage form for preservation. About the general modifications there was agreement on the definition of color of the label according to the pharmacological action of the drug and on the standardization in the increase of letter of the main information of the label.

The effectiveness of a three-day AIDS education course conducted for health workers was assessed by means of change scores measured on a Knowledge and Attitudes scale. A control group design was used and a follow-up was conducted one month after completion of the course. The results indicated that the course was effective in producing significant change on the dimensions of ‘Attitudes to Homosexuals' and ‘Attitudes to black Sexuality’. There was no significant change in ‘Attitudes to AIDS’ or ‘Knowledge of AIDS’. These results were confirmed at the one-month follow-up. The results suggest that time-limited education programmes can be effective in producing attitude change in health professionals in relation to AIDS-associated patients and groups.

RESUMOAs lesões por pressão são um grande problema de saúde no âmbito hospitalar, principalmente nas unidades de terapia intensiva. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a percepção de profissionais da área da saúde que atuam em ambiente hospitalar sobre os fatores que predispõem os pacientes acamados ao desenvolvimento de lesões por pressão e quais as medidas adotadas para a prevenção. O estudo é de natureza aplicada e de caráter observacional descritivo, realizado sob o paradigma qualitativo. O campo de estudo foi um hospital situado no Vale do Caí, RS. Como ferramenta de coleta de dados foi realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada, junto a 6 profissionais da área da saúde. A análise dos resultados das entrevistas ocorreu a partir do método de categorização, que evidenciou cinco categorias, sendo estas as que mais chamaram a atenção: a mudança de decúbito e a falta de comprometimento com os cuidados de prevenção. Desta forma, entende-se que seriam necessárias ainda mais práticas de incentivo com os profissionais da área da saúde, para que os mesmos realizem de forma correta todas as medidas de prevenção das lesões por pressão, podendo assim diminuir também os gastos hospitalares.Palavras-chave: Fatores de risco. Lesões por pressão. Prevenção. Saúde.ABSTRACTPressure injuries are a major health problem in the hospital setting, especially in intensive care units. Thus, the objective of the present study was to verify the perception of health professionals working in the hospital environment about the factors that predispose the development of pressure injuries in bedridden patients, and what measures are adopted for prevention. The study is developed through applied research and has a descriptive observational method, being performed under the qualitative paradigm. The field of study was in a hospital located in Vale do Caí, RS. As a data collection tool, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 6 health professionals. The analysis of the interview results was based on the categorization method, which revealed five categories, being the ones that attracted attention the most: the change of position and the lack of commitment to prevention care. Therefore, it is understood that further incentive practices would be necessary with health professionals, so that they can correctly perform all measures of prevention of pressure injuries, thereby reducing hospital expenses.Keywords: Risk factors.

Counseling Adolescents

Abstract Audiologists have a responsibility to counsel patients with auditory concerns on methods to manage the inherent challenges associated with hearing loss at every point in the process: evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and follow-up visits. Adolescents with hearing loss struggle with the typical developmental challenges along with communicative challenges that can erode one's self-esteem and self-worth. The feeling of “not being connected” to peers can result in feelings of isolation and depression. This article advocates the use of a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling adolescents with hearing loss. Adolescents with hearing loss often have problem-saturated narratives regarding various components of their daily life, friendships, amplification, academics, etc. Audiologists can work with adolescents with hearing loss to deconstruct the problem-saturated narratives and rebuild the narratives into a more empowering message. As the adolescent retells their positive narrative, they are likely to experience increased self-esteem and self-worth.
