ABSTRACT
Abstract Objectives: to analyze the level of anxiety in high risk pregnant women admitted in the maternity ward of the Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley (HULW) of the Federal University of Paraíba. Methods: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study of quantitative character, with a sample composed of 100 pregnant women diagnosed as high risk interned at HULW. Data collection was performed using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), used to assess the level of anxiety the patient is in and the existing symptoms. For the statistical analysis, the Mann Whitney, Kruskal Wallis and Spearman correlation tests were used, considering p<0.05. Results: it was observed that 68% of pregnant women have moderate to high anxiety, with heat, fear of the worst happening, faster heartbeat, emotional instability and nervousness listed as the most common symptoms. The presence of an anxious condition was independent of maternal age, marital status or parity, however the gestational trimester, history of abortions and length of hospital stay were identified as risk factors for anxiety. Conclusion: pregnant women with a high risk diagnosis hospitalized at HULW presented anxiety, thus identifying the need for a multiprofessional support network, such as family assistance.
Resumo Objetivos: analisar o nível de ansiedade em gestantes de alto risco internadas na maternidade do Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley (HULW) da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Métodos: estudo observacional, descritivo, transversal de caráter quantitativo, com amostra composta por 100 gestantes com diagnóstico de alto risco internadas no HULW. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio do Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck (BAI), utilizado para avaliar o nível de ansiedade do paciente e os sintomas existentes. Para a análise estatística, foram utilizados os testes de Mann Whitney, Kruskal Wallis e correlação de Spearman, considerando p<0,05. Resultados: observou-se que 68% das gestantes apresentam ansiedade moderada a alta, com calor, medo do pior acontecer, batimento cardíaco acelerado, instabilidade emocional e nervosismo listados como os sintomas mais comuns. A presença de ansiedade foi independente da idade materna, estado civil ou paridade, porém o trimestre gestacional, história de aborto e tempo de internação foram identificados como fatores de risco para ansiedade. Conclusão: gestantes com diagnóstico de alto risco internadas no HULW apresentaram ansiedade, identificando-se a necessidade de uma rede de apoio multiprofssional, como o atendimento familiar.

Abstract A new virus called Sars-CoV-2, or COVID-19, emerged in late 2019 and caused several changes worldwide. In light of this, countries adopted preventive measures against this pandemic, such as social isolation, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and special care with people who are at higher risk, such as elderly, people with hypertension or chronic conditions, and recently newborns, pregnant and puerperal women were also included. For puerperal women breastfeeding, it is an extremely important moment, which, in addition to being a natural feeding moment, it is an opportunity to strengthen the mother-baby bond. Aiming at a more cautious approach to avoid possible transmissions of COVID-19 during breastfeeding, preventive measures can hinder this binomial and bring harm to both.
Resumo Um novo vírus denominado Sars-CoV-2, ou COVID-19, surgiu no final do ano de 2019 e causou diversas modificações em todo o mundo. Diante disso, os países estabeleceram medidas preventivas contra essa pandemia, tais quais o isolamento social, uso de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI's) e cuidado com indivíduos enquadrados nos chamados grupos de risco, como idosos, hipertensos, doentes crônicos e recentemente, as gestantes e puérperas foram inclusas. Para as puérperas, a amamentação é um momento primordial, que, além de um momento de alimentação natural, é uma oportunidade de fortalecer o vínculo mãe-bebê. Visando uma atenção mais cautelosa para uma possível transmissão de COVID-19 durante a amamentação, as medidas preventivas para esse ato podem dificultar esse binômio e trazer prejuízos para ambos.

Abstract This research aims to reflect upon the inherent impacts of social isolation caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the health of pregnant women. It brings up a survey on both physical and psychological aspects of this period on a woman's life, such as physiological and emotional changes. It also raises questions about how these aspects can be directly or indirectly affected by periods of isolation, considering recent research and guidance from health reference organizations.
Resumo Esse texto tem como objetivo refletir sobre os impactos inerentes do isolamento social proveniente da pandemia do novo corona vírus (COVID-19) na saúde das gestantes. Traz um levantamento tanto sobre os aspectos físicos como psíquicos específicos desse período da vida da mulher, como as alterações fisiológicas e emocionais. Bem como, levanta questões de como esses aspectos podem ser afetados direto ou indiretamente em um momento de isolamento, apresentando reflexões sobre pesquisas atuais e orientações de órgãos de referência na saúde.

Most of the flavonoids are considered as constitutive antimicrobial ingredients, especially those belonging to prenylated flavonoids, flavones and isoflavones. In the study, the flavonoid 5,7,4’- trimethoxyflavone was evaluated for its antifungal effects. Four fungal strains were used in the study for activities, Candida krusei – LM 9700, Candida krusei – LM 656, Candida krusei– LM 13 and Candida krusei – LM08. All the microorganism strains were obtained from the Laboratory of Mycology collection. Microdilution method was used for antifungal assay of the flavonoid. The results were also compared with the standard drug, Nistatin (100 UI/mL). The obtained results showed activity fungistatic against Candida krusei strains.
