Measles is a viral, acute infectious disease, potentially serious, transmissible and extremely contagious. Being the only form of prevention through vaccines. Transmission occurs directly, through nasopharyngeal secretions excreted when coughing, talking, sneezing or breathing by infected people. Brazil received the certificate of elimination of the circulation of the measles virus by the WHO, declaring the region of the Americas free of measles. In 2019 new cases arose in Brazil. There are several factors related to this increase in the number of cases ranging from anti-vaccine movements, false news about vaccination and poor vaccination coverage. Therefore, the objective is to relate these factors, highlighting the performance of nursing, showing some control strategies and seeking a solution to the problem.

Role Of Nursing

OBJECTIVERecerntly, the role of the healthcare network, defined as a set of hospitals linked by patient transfers, has been increasingly considered in the control of antimicrobial resistance. Here, we investigate the potential impact of nursing homes on the spread of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens across the healthcare network and its importance for control strategies.METHODSBased on patient transfer data, we designed a network model representing the Dutch healthcare system of hospitals and nursing homes. We simulated the spread of an antimicrobial-resistant pathogen across the healthcare network, and we modeled transmission within institutions using a stochastic susceptible–infected–susceptible (SIS) epidemic model. Transmission between institutions followed transfers. We identified the contribution of nursing homes to the dispersal of the pathogen by comparing simulations of the network with and without nursing homes.RESULTSOur results strongly suggest that nursing homes in the Netherlands have the potential to drive and sustain epidemics across the healthcare network. Even when the daily probability of transmission in nursing homes is much lower than in hospitals, transmission of resistance can be more effective because of the much longer length of stay of patients in nursing homes.CONCLUSIONSIf an antimicrobial-resistant pathogen emerges that spreads easily within nursing homes, control efforts aimed at hospitals may no longer be effective in preventing nationwide outbreaks. It is important to consider nursing homes in planning regional and national infection control and in implementing surveillance systems that monitor the spread of antimicrobial resistance.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;37:761–767

O presente estudo tem o objetivo de identificar a função do Conselho de Saúde, e o conhecimento de trabalhadores e de conselheiros de saúde sobre o mecanismo de controle social, por meio de uma revisão integrativa. Os estudos foram selecionados por meio de buscas na base de dados Literatura Latino-Americano e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e na biblioteca eletrônica Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), utilizando como descritores para a busca dos artigos: Participação social; Conselhos de saúde; Controle social; Política de saúde. Foram selecionados dez estudos publicados entre 2013 e 2018, publicados em português e na íntegra, e que abordassem sobre a temática. Evidencia-se a necessidade de conhecimento sobre os Conselhos, por parte dos trabalhadores da saúde e falta de capacitação por parte dos usuários que compõem o Conselho de Saúde (CS), o que dificulta uma participação representativa e efetiva do segmento representado. Diante das lacunas encontradas na literatura e a falta de conhecimento, pela maioria dos trabalhadores da saúde e de conselheiros de saúde, faz-se necessário a realização de novas pesquisas sobre a temática e investimentos em capacitações para trabalhadores de saúde e conselheiros. Palavras-chave: Conselho de Saúde.

The studies were selected through studies in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences database (LILACS) and in the electronic library Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), using as descriptors for searching the articles: Social participation; Health Council; Social control; Health policy. tem Ten studies were selected, published between 2013 and 2018, in Portuguese and in full, that discussed on the subject. It is evidenced the need of knowledge about the councils, on the part of the health workers and lack of qualification by the users that compose the health council, what hinders a representative and effective participation of the represented segment. Given the gaps found in the literature and the lack of knowledge by the majority of health workers and health advisors, it is necessary to carry out new research on the subject and investments in training for health workers and counselors.Keywords: Health Council.

Rolle Der Pflegenden

Eine Übersicht der bestehenden Literatur weist auf Unsicherheiten bezüglich der spezifischen Rolle der Pflegenden in der Rehabilitation von Hirnschlagpatientinnen und -patienten hin. Es existieren zwei unterschiedliche Begrifflichkeiten für die Rolle der Pflegenden, keine davon bezieht sich auf spezifische Rehabilitationsziele oder Patientenergebnisse. Ein anfänglicher theoretischer Beitrag der Rolle der Pflege in der Genesung vom Hirnschlag wird als Struktur unterbreitet, um die therapeutischen Aspekte der Pflege im Koordinieren, Erhalten und Üben zu vereinen. Bestehende Literatur untermauert diesen Beitrag. Weitere Forschung ist jedoch notwendig, um den spezifischen Inhalt und Fokus der Pflege in der Genesung bei Hirnschlag zu entwickeln.

Abstract This study aims to investigate the role of recruitment and qualification centers in achieving vocational qualification for Saudi women in the light of Saudi Vision 2030 and to identify the obstacles that limit the work of recruitment and qualification centers and suggested solutions are made for the development of these centers. Survey descriptive approach was utilized through designing 58-item questionnaire divided into five domains. The sample comprised (87) of the employees of recruitment and qualification centers in Riyadh. The results indicated that the most important roles of recruitment and qualification centers are the establishment of exhibitions that offer craft products prepared by Saudi women, investigating the vocational abilities and tendencies of Saudi women, and the sensitization of Saudi women to the job ethics and the importance of commitment to these ethics. The most important obstacles that limit the development of these centers are the low capacity for all applicants, the low spread of recruitment and qualification centers across the Kingdom. The study recommended the need to employ specialized cadres to increase the efficiency of recruitment and qualification centers, increasing the support for recruitment and qualification centers for Saudi women, and briefing Saudi women to the services provided by these centers.

Immigrant Political Incorporation

Issues of immigrant political incorporation and transnational politics have drawn increased interest among migration scholars. This paper contributes to debates in this field by examining the role of networks, partnerships and collaborations of immigrant community organizations as mechanisms for immigrant political participation both locally and transnationally. These issues are addressed through an ethnographic study of the Hispanic Development Council, an umbrella advocacy organization representing settlement agencies serving Latin American immigrants in Toronto, Canada. Analysis of HDC’s three sets of networks (at the community, city and transnational levels) from a geographic and relational approach demonstrates the potentials and limits of nonprofit sector partnerships as mechanisms and concrete spaces for immigrant mobilization, empowerment, and social action in a context of neoliberal governance. It is argued that a combination of partnerships with a range of both state and non-state actors and at multiple scales can be significant in enabling nonprofit organizations to advance the interests of immigrant, minority and disadvantaged communities.
