Objetiva-se identificar as publicações da enfermagem brasileira em tecnologias no aleitamento materno. Trata-sede um estudo de revisão da literatura na área da saúde, com enfoque na revisão integrativa. Foram encontradas 18referências, das quais 06 participaram da análise por atenderem aos critérios de seleção do estudo. Identificaramse 02 publicações que tratavam de Tecnologia Leve; 04 de Leve-Dura, e nenhuma de Tecnologia Dura. O Ceará foio estado que apresentou o maior número de publicações com 05, seguido de São Paulo com 01. Os sujeitos dapesquisa foram: enfermeiros especialistas em aleitamento materno, puérperas e neonatos, mãe e pais cegos, eespecialistas em conteúdo e em cordel. Conclui-se que a evolução da enfermagem no que diz respeito à produçãocientífica em construção, validação, e adaptação, assim como, à influências de tecnologias educativas em saúde napromoção e apoio ao aleitamento materno, ainda encontra-se em número reduzido. Espera-se que os profissionaisde saúde, em especial os enfermeiros, sintam-se estimulados a produção cientifica nessa temática, considerandoresultados significativos para a prática profissional em aleitamento materno.Palavras-chave: Aleitamento Materno; Tecnologia; Enfermagem. ABSTRACTThe aim is to identify the brazilian nursing publications about technologies in breastfeeding. This is a review ofthe health literature with a focus on integrative review. We found 18 references, of which 06 participated in theanalysis because they met the study selection criteria. We identified 02 publications dealing with Light Technology;04 Light-Hard, and no Hard Tech. Ceará was the state that presented the highest number of publications with 05,followed by São Paulo with 01. The subjects of the research were: nurses specialized in breastfeeding, recentlygiven birth and neonates, mother and blind parents, and specialists in content and cordel. It concludes that thenursing evolution with regard to scientific production in construction, validation, and adaptation, as well as theinfluence of educational technologies on health in the promotion and support of breastfeeding are observed,although in a reduced number. It is expected that health professionals, especially nurses, will feel stimulatedscientific production in this area, considering significant results for professional practice in breastfeeding.Keywords: Breastfeeding; Technology; Nursing

Gathering Data

There is an important relationship between how thorough and unbiased the search for relevant data is and the validity of the resulting meta-analysis. Many reviewers fail to uncover citations to documents relevant to their project because of inadequate search tools or strategies. This chapter covers literature searching and information retrieval, as well as the application of study selection (inclusion) criteria. Best practices include carrying out an initial scoping study to assess how much literature is available and whether a systematic review and meta-analysis are possible; developing an explicit search protocol which details exactly how you will go about searching the literature; and outlining clear study selection criteria so that the reasons for inclusion or exclusion of studies are transparent.

Admission Variables

The aim: To identify admission variables associated with Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC) 1 to 4 (unable to walk without assistance) at time of discharge (dFAC<5) from a comprehensive stroke unit (CSU). Materials and methods: Patients admitted to CSU at Oberig Clinic, Kyiv, Ukraine, August 01, 2012 to July 31, 2018, were screened for study selection criteria. Association of qualifying patients’ data with FAC score at CSU discharge was retrospectively assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression, odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using MedCalc v. 19.1. Results: The study cohort (442 of 492 admitted patients) had median age: 65.8 years, gender: 43% female, stroke-type: 84% ischemic strokes, median baseline NIHSS total score: 10. Estimated time from stroke onset to CSU admission was from less-than-24-hours to over-180-days. The univariate logistic regression analysis, revealed 28 variables significantly (p<0.05) related to dFAC<5; while in multivariate analysis only 4 admission variables were significantly (p<0.05) associated with dFAC<5: age (OR= 1.07; 95% CI 1.03-1.10, on average, for each additional year, p<0.001), baseline NIHSS score (OR= 1.15; 95% CI 1.08-1.22, on average, with a 1-point increase in the total score, p<0.001), initial FAC score (OR= 0.40; 95% CI 0.31–0.52, on average, with a 1-point decrease in the score, p<0.001), and very late CSU admission (over 180 days; OR= 5.7; 95% CI 1.9–17.1, p=0.002). Conclusions: Four admission variables may be independently associated with dFAC<5 and provide opportunity for improving CSU outcomes and mitigating risk for inability to ambulate without assistance after CSU discharge.

The goal of this research was to conduct a systematic quantitative analysis of the existing data in the literature in order to determine if there is a difference between antimicrobial and nonantimicrobial soaps and to identify the methodological factors that might affect this difference. Data on hand washing efficacy and experimental conditions (sample size, wash duration, soap quantity, challenge organism, inoculum size, and neutralization method) from published studies were compiled and transferred to a relational database. A total of 25 publications, containing 374 observations, met the study selection criteria. The majority of the studies included fewer than 15 observations with each treatment and included a direct comparison between nonantimicrobial soap and antimicrobial soap. Although differences in efficacy between antimicrobial and nonantimicrobial soap were small (~0.5-log CFU reduction difference), antimicrobial soap produced consistently statistically significantly greater reductions. This difference was true for any of the antimicrobial compounds investigated where n was &gt;20 (chlorhexidine gluconate, iodophor, triclosan, or povidone). Average log reductions were statistically significantly greater (~2 log CFU) when either gram-positive or gram-negative transient organisms were deliberately added to hands compared with experiments done with resident hand flora (~0.5 log CFU). Our findings support the importance of using a high initial inoculum on the hands, well above the detection limit. The inherent variability in hand washing seen in the published literature underscores the importance of using a sufficiently large sample size to detect differences when they occur.

A Current

Administrators of programs for children with communicative disorders in 11 midwestern states were surveyed to assess trends in the training and utilization of paraprofessionals. Topics included: (a) current trends in employment, (b) paraprofessional training, (c) use of ASHA and state guidelines, and (d) district policies for supervision. Selection criteria, use of job descriptions, training programs, and supervision practices and policies were examined. Results indicate that paraprofessionals are used but that standards for training and supervision are not consistently applied across all programs. Program administrators report minimal training for supervising professionals.
