Comparison of domestic and international elderly care needs assessment system and the implication / 上海预防医学

The construction of elderly care needs assessment system is conducive to realize the reasonable matching between care services and needs of the elderly， and to promote the effective allocation of pension resources. It is the basis and premise of the development of long-term care insurance system. Questions such as "Who is responsible for the assessment？ Who can apply for the assessment？ What is the assess tool？ How to pay the assessment fee？" are the core issues that need to be addressed in the construction of the evaluation system. This study compared the current situation of the elderly care needs assessment systems in China， the Netherlands， Germany， Japan and the United States from four aspects： assessment subject， assessment object， assessment cost source， and assessment tools’ dimensions. It has been a trend to entrust a third party for the evaluation work in pilot cities in China. Compared with foreign countries， domestic appraisers’ discipline and professional background are simpler. In foreign countries， the evaluation objects of elderly care needs are more extensive； the legal and financial support system of needs evaluation is more mature； and the evaluation dimensions are more objective and comprehensive. Based on this study， we suggest China to establish a national unified elderly care needs assessment system， cultivate professional assessment teams， expand the coverage of care needs assessment objects， improve the standards of assessment objects and assessment dimensions， and improve the law and financial support regulations related to needs assessment.

Changes in Kihon Checklist items and new Certification of long-term care needs among Japanese community-dwelling elders / Journal of Rural Medicine

Objective: Physical frailty has been considered a risk factor for certification of long-term care needs (hereafter referred to as Certification) under Japan’s long-term care insurance (LTCI). Therefore, assessment of frailty in elders should be studied from multiple perspectives. The Kihon Checklist (KCL) is widely used to identify need for support/care among Japanese older adults. This study aims to examine the relationship between changes in KCL items and Certification among Japan’s young-old and old-old.Material and Methods: The KCL responses of 7,092 participants were assessed in April 2012 and March 2016, along with gender, age, and living environment. Deaths, Certifications, and relocations were tracked until March 2018. Changes in KCL items were categorized as bad, worse, improved, or good.Results: Between March 2016 and March 2018, about 7.3% of respondents obtained Certifications. KCL item changes increased the risk of new Certification for bad and worse groups, while improved cognitive function among the old-old possibly reduced the risk of new Certification.Conclusion: Therefore, rather than administering the KCL once, identifying KCL changes among people at risk could help prevent or delay their need for long-term care.

Low risk emergencies: integration analysis between primary care and Emergency Care Unit / Urgências de baixo risco: análise da integração entre atenção primária e Unidade de Pronto Atendimento

ABSTRACT The study aims to analyze the attention given to low risk emergencies in an area of high socioenvironmental vulnerability in Rio de Janeiro, within the scope of the Family Health Strategy and the local Emergency Care Unit. The methodology used relied on a triangulation of data and sources obtained from medical records, direct observation, interviews, and focal groups with managers, workers and users. The service was analyzed according to diagnosis, type of occurrence, and sociodemographic data; the qualitative data was analyzed through thematic analysis, generating the categories: which urgency for which service; territorial issues; access; positive and negative aspects of services. As a result, the Family Health Strategy takes on the function of answering to urgencies. Previous experiences influence the pattern of users' access. Socio-environmental fragility increases demand, stresses the Strategy's programmatic service, and can generate risks by the fast treatment at the Emergency Care Unit, which has been a place of hospitalization, due to the scarcity of hospital beds. The two services work with partial integration. The conclusion shows that the levels of satisfaction with the Family Health Strategy indicated by the population and its centrality to the care networks are enhanced by the accommodation of urgencies.

RESUMO O estudo objetivou analisar a atenção prestada às urgências de baixo risco em área metropolitana de alta vulnerabilidade socioambiental na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, no âmbito da Estratégia Saúde da Família e da Unidade de Pronto Atendimento local. A metodologia utilizou triangulação de dados obtidos em prontuários, observação direta, entrevistas e grupos focais com gestores, trabalhadores e usuários (108 participantes). Analisaram-se os atendimentos segundo diagnóstico, tipo e horário de ocorrência e dados sociodemográficos; os dados qualitativos, mediante análise temática, geraram as categorias: que urgência para que serviço; questões territoriais; acesso; aspectos positivos e negativos dos serviços. Como resultado, a Estratégia Saúde da Família assume a função de atender às urgências segundo dados de produção. Experiências anteriores influenciam o padrão de acesso de usuários. A fragilidade socioambiental incrementa a demanda, tensiona o atendimento programático da Estratégia e pode gerar riscos pelo atendimento rápido na Unidade de Pronto Atendimento, que tem funcionado como lugar de internação, pela escassez de leitos em hospitais. Os dois tipos de serviços funcionam parcialmente integrados. Conclui-se que o nível de satisfação com a Estratégia Saúde da Família destacado pela população e a centralidade da Estratégia para as redes assistenciais são potencializados pelo acolhimento às urgências.

A acelerada modernização científica e tecnológica tem garantido maior sobrevivência a muitas crianças, ao passo que faz emergir uma clientela portadora de condições que requerem transformações de vida importantes: as Crianças com Necessidades Especiais de Saúde (CRIANES). Frente ao atual perfil epidemiológico infantil, delineou-se como objeto do estudo: o desenvolvimento de competências no processo de formação do enfermeiro na atenção integral às CRIANES e suas famílias. Definiu-se como objetivo geral: analisar como se organiza o ensino da atenção à saúde da criança nos cursos de graduação em enfermagem com vistas ao desenvolvimento de competências para o cuidado às CRIANES e suas famílias, na perspectiva dos docentes; e específicos: apreender a concepção dos docentes dos cursos de graduação em enfermagem sobre as CRIANES; identificar os conteúdos programáticos e os aspectos metodológicos do ensino referentes à atenção à saúde das CRIANES e suas famílias nos cursos de graduação em enfermagem; descrever, na perspectiva dos docentes, como acontece o ensino da saúde da criança de forma a desenvolver nos alunos as competências necessárias para o cuidado às CRIANES e suas famílias. Pesquisa qualitativa, descritivo-exploratória, com 17 docentes da área de saúde da criança de cursos de graduação em enfermagem de três Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) públicas federais, na região metropolitana do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da instituição proponente e das instituições coparticipantes. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de entrevista semiestruturada. Através da análise de conteúdo temático-categorial de Bardin, construíram-se quatro categorias, interpretadas e discutidas à luz do referencial teórico de Philippe Perrenoud: 1) As CRIANES e suas famílias na perspectiva docente; 2) A abordagem da temática das CRIANES nos cursos de graduação em enfermagem; 3) Estratégias de ensino e o processo de avaliação na abordagem das CRIANES nos cursos de graduação em enfermagem: desenvolvimento de competências; 4) Aspectos valorizados no desenvolvimento da competência de atenção à saúde das CRIANES e suas famílias na formação de enfermeiros. Evidenciou-se um processo de incorporação da temática nos cursos de graduação em enfermagem, reflexo da apropriação do conceito de CRIANES pelos próprios docentes. Tema ainda pouco explorado em seus aspectos particulares, com uma abordagem assistemática e pontual sob a ótica do modelo biomédico e hospitalocêntrico. Entretanto, valorizou-se a abordagem centrada na família e a articulação das redes de atenção à saúde, traduzindo a busca pela atenção integral. Os resultados reforçam o desafio e a importância de incluir a temática nos programas curriculares e nas práticas pedagógicas para ampliar as discussões na graduação de enfermagem. Trouxe subsídios para embasar e auxiliar o planejamento do ensino com relação à problemática das CRIANES e suas famílias, para formar enfermeiros que sejam atores sociais no cenário da saúde da criança no país.

Training nurses capable of responding to the demands of society requires a contextualized and consistent training that prepares them to face the challenges of the dynamism of the modern world and the conditions of professional practice. The accelerated scientific and technological modernization has ensured greater survival for many children, while a clientele with conditions that require important life transformations has risen: Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN). In view of the current epidemiological profile of children, the following object of study was outlined: the development of competences in the process of nursing education in integral care for CSHCN and their families. It was defined as general objective: to analyze how the teaching of child health care is organized in undergraduate nursing courses with a view to developing competencies for the care of children and their families from the professors' perspective; and the specific objetives were: to capture the conception of the professors of undergraduate nursing courses on CSHCN; to identify the program contents and methodological aspects of teaching related to the health care of CSHCN and their families in undergraduate nursing courses; to describe, from the professors' perspective, how child health teaching occurs in order to develop in students the necessary competences for the care of CSHCN and their families. Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research with 17 professors of child health care from undergraduate nursing courses of three federal public higher education institutions (HEIs) in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro state in Brazil. Approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the proposing institution and co-participating institutions. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interview. Through the thematic-categorical content analysis of Bardin, four categories were constructed, interpreted and discussed in the light of the theoretical referential of Philippe Perrenoud: 1) CSHCN and their families in the professors' perspective; 2) The approach to the subject of CSHCN in undergraduate nursing courses; 3) Teaching strategies and the evaluation process in the approach to CSHCN in undergraduate nursing courses: competence development; 4) Valued aspects in the development of the competence of attention to the health of CSHCN and their families in the training of nurses. A process of incorporation of this theme in the undergraduate nursing courses was evidenced, reflecting the appropriation of the concept of CSHCN by the professors themselves. This theme is still under explored in its particular aspects, showing an unsystematic and punctual approach from the perspective of the biomedical and hospital-centric model. However, the family-centered approach and the articulation of health care networks were valued, reflecting the search for integral care. The results reinforce the challenge and importance of including the theme in curricular programs and pedagogical practices to broaden discussions in undergraduate nursing. It brought important cobtributions to support and assist the education plannning related to the problem of CSHCN and their families, in order to train nurses who will become social actors in the child health scenario in the country.

Improvement in Oral Health and Compliance in a Child with Congenital Hypothyroidism. Case Report / Progreso del cuidado oral y el comportamiento en un niño con hipotiroidismo congénito. Reporte de caso

ABSTRACT Congenital hypothyroidism is a metabolic disorder that requires special health care interventions. It has influence in overall growth and oral conditions in pediatric patients, and also can affect child cooperation during dental treatment because this metabolic condition is the most common preventable cause of mental retardation. The aim of this paper is to report the dental treatment of a child with congenital hypothyroidism who is four years and five months old, with many facial and oral characteristics of the metabolic condition, including severe early childhood caries and malocclusion. At first, it was observed a lack of cooperation of the patient with speech and learning impairment, but with the help of the Pedagogy team at the Pediatric Dental Clinic Playroom, he developed confidence and diminished anxiety every appointment. We present the follow-up during 15 months, where we could observe favorable outcomes in oral health and compliance of the child.
