Background: In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified infection and contagion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a worldwide pandemic. Since then, health professionals have been tirelessly researching the symptoms and consequences of this disease in people's daily lives. Occupational therapists have also been mobilized to implement effective actions in order to guarantee the functionality and quality of life of individuals and groups. The aim of this article was to investigate what available resources there are regarding occupational therapy during the pandemic, and thus support and enrich professional practice during this time. Methods: A search for was carried out for materials such as technical notes, guidelines for working with COVID-19 patients, clinical trials, and reflections and debates on occupational therapeutic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Articles in English, Portuguese and Spanish were included. The search was carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Google Scholar, Latin American & Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) databases, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Pubmed, and the websites of occupational therapy entities and organizations. Results: A total of 44 materials were found and categorised into performance guides, technical notes and scientific articles. The materials dealt with different themes, with a predominance of guidelines for hospital practices. However, there was also a significant amount of notes on the positioning of representative bodies in the preparation of intervention guides in wards, intensive care units, and outpatient and patient homes to support these professionals. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the quick response of authors in the field of occupational therapy, to combat the challenges and barriers of the COVID-19 pandemic. The texts promote scientifically-based strategies to provide the best assistance to patients during the pandemic period.

The World Health Organization defines palliative care as “an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.” Hospice care, palliative care, and supportive care are the common terms used to describe the delivery of palliative care. They essentially require the same skill sets and are often delivered by the same group of health professionals. This chapter reviews the definition and core principles of hospice and palliative care.

Trauma Deaths

Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir el perfil de los pacientes con traumas de cara ocurridos en accidentes con  motocicletas en Brasil. Métodos: El estudio consistió en una revisión integrativa basada en la literatura. Las bases de datos consultadas fueron el Scientific Electronic Library on-line (SciELO) y la National Library of Medicine (PubMed), utilizando los siguientes descriptores: Accidentes de Tránsito, Epidemiología y Traumatismos Faciales, de acuerdo con las terminologías consultadas en los Descriptores en Ciencias de la Salud (DECS-BIREME). La búsqueda consideró las publicaciones publicados entre los años 1995 a 2015. Resultados: En cuanto al sexo masculino, los individuos jóvenes prevalecieron en el 100% de los estudios. Sólo el 23,5% de los estudios presentaron el nivel de escolaridad de los pacientes, la condición de salud de las víctimas en el 64,7% de los casos se presentó con fracturas y traumas. La región más traumatizada fue la cara en el 41,1% de los casos, en relación al tipo de lesión en el 17% de los casos se dio por trauma y el 6,4% se dio por contusiones. En el 24,5% de los estudios las víctimas hicieron uso de bebidas alcohólicas y el 29,4% no utilizaba el casco en el momento del accidente. Conclusión: Ante ello es necesario que estudios que identifiquen o tracen el perfil de esos individuos, determinando tipo de accidentes y compromisos sean realizados de forma más detallada, para producir subsidios necesarios para la planificación de políticas públicas en salud y promoción de medidas preventivas.Descriptores: Accidentes de Tránsito; Epidemiología; Traumatismos Faciales.ReferênciasSantos LNM.

Historically, birth was considered a natural event, respected until the sixteenth century as an exclusively female movement. From the moment that the delivery began to happen inside the hospital with the participation of doctors in the process of the same, the woman stopped being the most important person and active of that event. Therefore, in order to change in this scenario, the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health have been guiding and implementing behaviors that should be stimulated during childbirth, such as the presence of a companion, the supply of fluids, the use of non-invasive techniques for relief of pain and freedom of choice of birth position, among others. The study aims to verify in the literature the systematization of knowledge about the awareness of the benefits of normal delivery, pointing out the behaviors performed that favor the woman's role. This is a literature review, with descriptive and explanatory character, in the databases Scientific Electronic Library (ScIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS); And the National Library of Medicine (PUBMED, from 2008 to 2019), using the following descriptors: normal delivery, humanization, humanization in normal birth, women's role, and the result was three categories: The synthesis of the articles allowed us to understand that there are already some changes in the care of women during labor, but that there is still a lack of knowledge about the role of women in the labor market. It is concluded that in order for women to take part in labor and delivery, humanization becomes necessary, which is evidenced by the need to improve access and quality of delivery services.

In Australia, palliative care is an accepted and expected part of contemporary health care service provision. Efficacious palliative care focusses on managing pain and symptoms and making the patient as comfortable as possible (World Health Organization Definition of Palliative Care (WHO, 2010). As well, palliative care focusses on the spiritual and psycho-social dimensions of life (Martina, 2017), providing the opportunity for the patient and their family to continue to be engaged with life and self-determined decision making throughout palliation. In this account, utilizing the qualitative research method of autoethnography the Australian author describes her experience of caring for her Indonesian father-in-law in the last week of his life. She explores emerging tensions associated with local end-of-life care and Western care which trigger deeper feelings associated with losing a loved one, complicated by the recent and sudden loss of her own parents. Narration is a powerful tool for capturing the verisimilitude of everyday experiences, evoking in the reader a powerful resonance into a very personal inner life which is often not spoken about in academic texts. This account, a cultural story of dying in East Java, Indonesia, also provides insight into the author’s expectations, as an Australian and concludes with some reflections about the emerging position of palliative care services in Indonesia.
