ABSTRACT

Introdução: A promoção à saúde é um grande desafio no Sistema Único de Saúde. A realização de ações de promoção faz parte das competências necessárias ao egresso do curso de medicina, segundo as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para o Curso de Graduação em Medicina (DCN). Objetivo: Este trabalho visa descrever a elaboração e implementação de ação lúdica, visando educação em saúde com enfoque em prevenção de acidentes domésticos na infância, por parte de alunos do primeiro ano do curso de medicina da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo (FCMSCSP). Métodos: O uso da metodologia da problematização conduziu a construção do projeto, desde o reconhecimento do território da Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), discussão de problemas encontrados, levantamento bibliográfico, elaboração de hipóteses de solução e implementação de ação. Resultados: Os alunos do primeiro ano de medicina optaram por trabalhar com o tema de prevenção de acidentes domésticos na infância, em parceria com a UBS e com organização não-governamental (ONG) da região, que realiza atividades educativas e de lazer com crianças em idade escolar, após o horário da aula. Os alunos construíram jogos discutindo a prevenção de acidentes e folheto explicativo para pais e responsáveis. Foi realizada gincana em novembro de 2012, em que os alunos coordenaram os jogos com as crianças que utilizam a ONG. Os alunos construíram narrativa sobre a percepção da atividade, com boa avaliação da ação. Discussão: Há evidências do benefício de inserir o aluno precocemente em ações na comunidade, principalmente na participação ativa de atividades de promoção à saúde, visando à aprendizagem significativa. A problematização é estratégia privilegiada de ensino do tema de promoção à saúde e à construção das competências necessárias à elaboração destas ações.


Introduction: Health promotion is a great challenge in the Brazilian National Health System. The implementation of health promotion actions is part of the necessary skills of medical school undergraduates, according to the National Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Medicine (DCN). Objective: This study aims to describe the development and implementation of games, seeking health education focusing on prevention of domestic accidents in childhood, made by students of the first year of medical school, Faculty of Medical Sciences of Santa Casa de São Paulo (FCMSCSP). Methods: The methodology of problematization led to construction of the project, started with the recognition of the territory of primary care service, discussion of found problems, evaluation of medical literature, towards the formulation of possible solutions and implementing an prevention action. Results: The first year medical students have chosen to work with prevention of domestic accidents in childhood, in partnership with UBS and a nongovernmental organization in the region, which conducts educational and recreational activities with children, in the after-school period. The students put up games discussing accident prevention and a leaflet for parents and guardians. Tournament was held in November 2012, in which medical students coordinated games with the children. Students constructed narrative about their perception of activity, with good evaluation of the health promotion action. Discussion: There is evidence of the benefit of early introduction of medical students in the community context, especially in active participation of health promotion activities, aiming to meaningful learning. The problematization strategy is a privileged teaching method aiming actions of health promotion and building the necessary skills for the production of these actions.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: determinar a incidência e a prevalência bacteriana em hospital da região leste do estado de Minas Gerais, bem como verificar a sensibilidade dos microrganismos aos antibióticos disponíveis para terapia. Métodos: o estudo é retrospectivo, com análise de prontuários médicos e resultados das hemoculturas dos pacientes submetidos a esse exame no período de 1º. de janeiro a 31 de dezembro de 2010. A avaliação da significância da infecção foi feita a partir das manifestações clínicas dos pacientes submetidos à hemocultura, evitando, assim, amostras contaminantes. Resultados e discussão: das 344 hemoculturasestudadas, correspondendo a 344 pacientes, evidenciaram-se crescimento e não crescimento bacteriano em 64 (18,6%) e em 280 (81,4%) casos, respectivamente. A espécie Staphylococcus epidermidis mostrou-se mais prevalente na causa de bacteriemias - 40,6% dos casos -, como ocorre em outras descrições de estudos nacionais e internacionais. Observou-se que 15,4% das infecções por S. epidermidisdetectadas no hospital de Caratinga eram sensíveis à oxacilina. Conclusão: o S. epidermidis é o principal agente responsável pelas infecções sanguíneas, o que está, provavelmente, relacionado ao uso crescente de cateter venoso e ao estado de imunossupressão desenvolvido pelos pacientes com internações prolongadas; e apresenta elevada resistência à oxacilina, exigindo cuidado com o uso indiscriminadode antibióticos.


Objectives: To determine bacterial incidence and prevalence in a hospital in eastern Minas Gerais, as well as to verify the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibiotics available for therapy. Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of medical records and blood culture results of patients from January 1st to December 31st, 2010. Infection significance was assessed based on the clinical manifestations of patients who underwent blood culture, thus avoiding sample contamination. Results anddiscussion: of 344 blood cultures studied, corresponding to 344 patients, bacterial growth was found in 64 (18.6%) cases and non-bacterial growth in 280 (81.4%) cases. Staphylococcus epidermidis was more prevalent as the cause of bacteriemia - 40.6% of the cases - similarly to what has been observed in other national and international studies. We found that 15.4 % of infections caused by S. epidermidis detected in the hospital in Caratinga were sensitive to oxacillin. Conclusions: S. epidermidis is the main agent responsible for blood infections. This is probably related to the increased use of venous catheters and to the status of immunosuppression developed by patients in prolonged hospitalizations. This species is highly resistant to oxacillin, which demands attention to prevent the indiscriminate use of antibiotics.

ABSTRACT

Background: An outbreak of measles was reported in Timor-Leste during 2011. A concerted response at national level utilized this opportunity to improve measles immunization coverage rates. Methods: Health Management Information System and Surveillance System data were utilized to describe the outbreak. Attack rates and case fatality rates (CFR) were calculated using standard methods. Evaluation surveys were used to access immunization coverage. Proceedings of weekly meetings of the National Committee for Control of Disease Outbreaks were reviewed. Results: A total of 739 cases and 8 deaths were reported to the Surveillance Unit. Most (>82%) of the measles cases were reported from Dili and Ermera districts. The attack rate was 1.3 per 1000 population and CFR was 1.1%. The response was coordinated by the National Committee for Control of Disease Outbreaks, which included case management, active and passive surveillance,communication and measles immunization among six-month to 14-year old children. Immunization activity targeted 495 000 children, i.e. almost one-half of the Timor-Leste population and achieved high coverage (85%). Conclusions: The outbreak highlighted gaps in the immunity against measles. The National Committee for Control of Disease Outbreaks ensured a coordinated response which led to prevention of deaths from measles due to early case management with vitamin A supplementation, and high measles immunization coverage.
