Este artigo descreve o acesso e a percepção do acesso de usuários a serviços especializados no tratamento do vírus da imunodeficiência humana e da Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV/AIDS) em municípios baianos por meio de um recorte epidemiológico descritivo-analítico, com abordagem quantitativa de dados primários de estudo realizado em cinco serviços localizados na capital e oito no interior do estado da Bahia, Brasil. Participaram deste estudo 475 usuários, de 21 municípios baianos, predominantemente do sexo feminino, com faixa etária entre 25 e 44 anos, negros, cristãos, desempregados, com escolaridade compreendendo o ensino fundamental, renda de até três salários mínimos, heterossexual e cisgênero. O acesso à testagem para HIV e outras Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST), profilaxias de pós-exposição e pré-exposição e outros insumos de prevenção não constituíram motivação de inserção no serviço. O tratamento específico e a assistência médica para HIV e outras IST foi motivação para que a maioria dos participantes se direcionassem ao serviço especializado. O deslocamento até o serviço de referência é realizado principalmente por transportes coletivos, e o trajeto casa-serviço tem duração de pelo menos uma hora. O horário de funcionamento da unidade atende às necessidades da maior parte dos participantes, mas parcela dos usuários mencionaram o desejo de funcionamento em horários alternativos. A marcação de consultas é realizada principalmente de forma presencial e por telefone, com possibilidade de agendamento diário, assim a maioria dos usuários avaliaram a organização do serviço para marcação de consultas como boa ou muito boa. O tempo de espera, entre marcação e consulta, mais comum é de uma semana a um mês.

This article describes user access and perception of access to specialized HIV/AIDS services in Bahia municipalities by applying a qualitative epidemiological, descriptive-analytical approach to primary data from research conducted in five services located in the capital and eight in the countryside. A total of 475 users from 21 municipalities in Bahia participated in this study. Most were female, between 25 and 44 years old, Black, Christian, unemployed, with complete primary education, income of up to 3 minimum wages, heterosexual and cisgender. Access to HIV testing and other STIs, post-exposure and pre-exposure prophylaxis and other prevention inputs did not constitute motivation for procuring the service. Specific treatment and medical care for HIV and other STIs motivated most participants to turn to specialized services. Commuting to the reference service is made mainly by public transport and the home-service journey takes at least one hour. The unit's opening hours meet the needs of most participants, but some mentioned the desire for alternative operating times. Appointments are booked mainly in person and over the phone, with the possibility of daily scheduling, so most users rated the service organization for scheduling appointments as good or very good. The most common waiting time between booking and consultation is one week to one month.

Brazilian portuguese validation of the patient-reported outcome measure for urethral stricture surgery (USS-PROM) questionnaire

ABSTRACT Introduction: Urethral stricture is a common, albeit complex, condition that predominantly affects men. The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Patient-Reported Outcome Measure questionnaire for patients undergoing urethroplasty (USS-PROM) into Brazilian Portuguese using validated psychometric criteria. Materials and Methods: The process involved translating and culturally adapting the original USS-PROM into Brazilian Portuguese (USS-PROMbr), synthesizing, back-translating, cross-culturally adapting, and analyzing the pre-final version with experts from our committee. This pre-version was administered to 10 patients who had undergone urethroplasty by the Reconstructive Urology team at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre for face validation, linguistic, and semantic adjustments, resulting in the final USS-PROMbr version. Subsequently, well-established psychometric criteria, including content validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reproducibility, were assessed after administering the questionnaire to a total of 56 patients, with 50 of them responding to the test and retest. Results: Evaluation of the pre-final version identified 15 questions as clear, and only one question was considered somewhat unclear necessitating modifications based on patient suggestions and subsequent reassessment by the research team. Psychometric criteria demonstrated good content validity, with a content validity index exceeding 0.80 for all questions; good internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha of 0.77, ranging from 0.70 to 0.78 with the exclusion of any item, and item-total correlations ranging from 0.33 to 0.67. The test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.74 for the lower urinary tract symptoms construct (Q1-Q6). Conclusion: The USS-PROMbr demonstrated acceptable cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties, making it a valid and useful tool for evaluating patients undergoing urethroplasty.

Clinical study on ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture for awake tracheal intubation in difficult airways / 中国基层医药

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture for awake tracheal intubation in difficult airways.Methods:A total of 80 patients scheduled for general anesthesia surgery owing to difficult airways at Marine Police Corps Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Force from August 2019 to February 2023 were included in this prospective study. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group ( n = 40 per group). Both groups of patients underwent fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided awake tracheal intubation through the nasal route. Before intubation, the control group received surface anesthesia combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture anesthesia, while the observation group received superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture anesthesia. During the intubation process, hemodynamic indicators of the patients were monitored, the duration of the intubation operation was recorded, and the degree of sedation and cough response was evaluated. Before and after intubation, the levels of serum stress response factors were determined, and the satisfaction level of patients with the intubation operation was investigated. Results:At the time points T1 (immediately after the tracheal tube enters the glottis) and T2 (after the tracheal tube enters the trachea), the heart rate in the observation group was (84.08 ± 8.25) times/minute and (82.64 ± 7.81) times/minute, respectively, and the mean arterial pressure in the observation group was (92.57 ± 8.32) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and (103.27 ± 9.16) mmHg, respectively, which were significantly lower compared with those in the control group ( t = 5.92-12.56, all P < 0.001). At T1 and T2, there was no significant difference in blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) between the observation and control groups ( t = 0.34-0.43, P = 0.652-0.726). The duration of the intubation operation in the observation group was (8.96 ± 1.15) minutes, which was significantly shorter than (11.47 ± 1.39) minutes in the control group ( t = 6.84, P < 0.001). The Ramsay sedation score during intubation in the observation group was 3 (2,3) points, which was significantly higher than 2 (1,3) points in the control group ( Z = 9.26, P < 0.001). The cough response score in the observation group was 1 (0,1) point, which was significantly lower than 1 (0, 2) points in the control group ( Z = 4.37, P < 0.001). The serum levels of stress response factors norepinephrine and adrenaline in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 14.58-25.94, both P < 0.05). The overall patient satisfaction in the observation group was 97.50%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group ( χ2 = 4.51, P = 0.034). Conclusion:Superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture can be used for anesthetic management of awake nasal tracheal intubation in difficult airways. This combined approach can improve patient hemodynamic stability and sedation, shorten the duration of intubation, reduce stress responses during intubation, and enhance patient satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the effect of five-element music therapy combined with meridian-based acupoint massage timed according to qi circulationon on negative emotions and sleep quality in older adults with chronic heart failure. Methods:A total of 112 older adult patients with chronic heart failure who received treatment at The Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University between January 2022 and June 2023 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group ( n = 56) and a study group ( n = 56) using the random number table method. Based on conventional treatment, the control group received five-element music therapy, while the intervention group underwent a combination of five-element music therapy and meridian-based acupoint massage timed according to qi circulation. Before and after the intervention, a comparison was made between the two groups in terms of the scores of the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and various dimensions of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Additionally, the sleep outcome and patient satisfaction were also compared between the two groups. Results:After intervention, the scores of the HAMA and HAMD in the study group were (11.29 ± 2.48) points and (12.48 ± 3.36) points, respectively. In contrast, the control group had scores of (15.93 ± 3.35) points and (16.50 ± 4.32) points, respectively. After intervention, the scores of the HAMA and HAMD scales in both the study and control groups demonstrated a significant reduction in comparison with their respective pre-intervention scores [study group: (20.13 ± 5.18) points, (23.95 ± 8.97) points, control group: (19.36 ± 5.45) points, (23.79 ± 7.61) points, t = 15.35, 10.24, 5.65, 8.93, all P < 0.001). After intervention, the scores of the HAMA and HAMD scales in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = -8.34, -5.49, both P < 0.001). After intervention, the scores of the PSQI in the study and control groups were (7.05 ± 0.96) points and (9.91 ± 1.28) points, respectively. After intervention, the scores of PSQI in both the study and control groups demonstrated a significant reduction compared with their respective pre-intervention scores [study group: (12.98 ± 2.21) points, control group: (12.50 ± 2.48) points, t = 24.68, 9.79, both P < 0.05]. After intervention, the score of the PSQI in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 13.34, P < 0.05). Based on the scores across various dimensions of the MLHFQ, it was observed that after intervention, the scores of emotional, physical, and other domains in both the study and control groups [study group: (9.36 ± 2.29) points, (16.95 ± 3.80) points, (18.50 ± 2.33) points; control group: (12.93 ± 2.00) points, (19.98 ± 3.98) points, (20.04 ± 2.24) points] decreased significantly compared with their pre-intervention scores [study group: (15.57 ± 1.55) points, (26.23 ± 4.63) points, (21.18 ± 2.50) points, control group: (16.09 ± 1.87) points, (25.32 ± 4.40) points, (21.57 ± 2.69) points, t = 21.66, 18.55, 8.44, 11.29, 11.73, 4.61, all P < 0.001]. After intervention, the scores of emotional, physical, and other domains in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = -8.79, -4.13, -3.56, all P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction in the study group was superior to that that in the control group [98.21% (55/56) vs. 87.50% (49/56), χ2 = -3.09, P < 0.05]. Total effective rate of intervention on sleep in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group [92.86% (52/56) vs. 78.57% (44/56), χ2 = -2.09, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Five-element music therapy combined with meridian-based acupoint massage timed according to qi circulationon in the treatment of chronic heart failure in older adults can effectively alleviate negative emotions, improve the quality of life and sleep, and increase patient satisfaction with nursing care.

Aesthetic Dentistry - What You Decided and What I Want: Shade Selection

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the relationship between patients' and dentists' perceptions of shade selection and its impact on satisfaction with the prosthesis. Material and Methods: A single group pre-post study was conducted at the Prosthodontics department of a teaching hospital in India. One hundred ten participants were selected through a systematic random sampling technique with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients' attitudes regarding the aesthetics of their maxillary anterior teeth were recorded using a validated questionnaire. Shades for the intended prosthetic crown selected by the dentist and chosen by the patient were recorded separately, and patient satisfaction with the appearance of the final prosthesis was recorded. We used descriptive statistics followed by Pearson's Chi-square test and a binomial logistic regression model for inferential statistics. Results: 109 participant's data were available for final analysis. Patients choose lighter shades than the dentist's selection, which is statistically significant (p=0.000). 73.4% were satisfied with the final prosthesis, and the binomial logistic regression model identified using patient-selected shade for the final prosthesis was significantly associated with patients' satisfaction with the final prosthesis (OR=3.3, p=0.001). Conclusion: The patient's preference should be considered with the dentist's option when selecting a shade to create good esthetics.

Casais de mulheres lésbicas e bissexuais que vivenciam a dupla maternidade: (des)encontros na produção do cuidado em saúde / Lesbian and bisexual couples experiencing dual motherhood: (dis)encounters in the provision of healthcare

Resumo O vínculo com os serviços de saúde é uma dimensão crucial para viabilizar o projeto materno de casais de mulheres lésbicas e bissexuais. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os significados culturalmente construídos sobre o vínculo com os serviços e profissionais de saúde por mulheres lésbicas e bissexuais que vivenciaram a dupla maternidade. Investigação qualitativa fundamentada na antropologia interpretativa. O corpus de pesquisa foi construído com base em entrevista em profundidade com 10 mulheres de 30 a 39 anos. Os resultados mostram que o acesso à parentalidade implicou um itinerário permeado por satisfações e sofrimentos devido a tentativas frustradas e perdas gestacionais. Também foram relatados percalços vivenciados na produção do cuidado em saúde devido a preconceitos, falta de empatia e despreparo de profissionais para lidarem com acompanhamento de pré-natal aos casais de mulheres lésbicas/bissexuais. As manifestações de discriminação foram mais contundentes em relação às mães não gestantes. Os resultados oferecem subsídios para implementação de políticas de humanização e planejamento de programas e serviços de saúde baseados em cuidados culturalmente sensíveis à diversidade para casais de mulheres lésbicas/bissexuais que vivenciam a transição para a maternidade.

Abstract The bond with healthcare services is a crucial dimension in facilitating the maternal journey of lesbian and bisexual women couples. This study aimed to analyze the culturally constructed meanings regarding the bond with healthcare services and professionals by lesbian and bisexual women who experienced dual motherhood. It is a qualitative investigation grounded in interpretative anthropology. The research corpus was built based on in-depth interviews with 10 lesbian and bisexual women, aged 30 to 39 years. The results indicate that access to parenthood, until its realization, involved a journey permeated by satisfactions and sufferings triggered by failed attempts and gestational losses. Challenges experienced in healthcare provision were also reported due to prejudices, lack of empathy, and unpreparedness of professionals in dealing with prenatal care for lesbian and bisexual women couples. Manifestations of discrimination were more pronounced concerning non-gestational mothers. The findings offer insights into implementing policies that prioritize humanization and planning programs and healthcare services based on culturally sensitive care for lesbian and bisexual women couples as they transition into dual motherhood.

Abstract Objective For elderly patients, painless gastrointestinal endoscopy can easily induce adverse events. We aimed to evaluate the effects of high-quality nursing interventions on the outcomes and complication rate of elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods A total of 124 patients who received painless gastrointestinal endoscopy from January to December 2022 were selected, 62 of whom admitted between January and June 2022 were included into a conventional nursing group and given traditional basic nursing intervention, and the other 62 admitted between July and December 2022 were assigned into a high-quality nursing group and given high-quality nursing intervention. The intervention outcomes were compared. Results The Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale scores of the high-quality nursing group were lower than those of the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate during and after diagnosis and treatment decreased in the high-quality nursing group compared with those in the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). The high-quality nursing group had a lower complication rate and a higher nursing satisfaction rate than those of the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). Conclusion High-quality nursing intervention not only stabilizes the psychological state of elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, but also is beneficial to maintaining stable blood pressure and heart rate.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale for use in Brazil: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background: The Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale (ISAS) was developed to assess the satisfaction of patients undergoing sedation with monitored anesthesia care. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the ISAS instrument and evaluate the acceptability, validity, and reliability of the proposed Brazilian version (ISAS-Br). Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation process involved translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert committee review, pre-testing, and final review of the ISAS-Br. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 127 adult individuals undergoing ambulatory surgeries with moderate/deep sedation. The acceptability, reliability, and construct validity of the scale were assessed. Results: The cross-cultural adaptation process did not require significant changes to the final version of the scale. The ISAS-Br demonstrated excellent acceptability, with a completion rate of 99% and an average completion time of 4.6 minutes. Exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors: emotional well-being, physical comfort, and anxiety relief, with respective composite reliability coefficient values of 0.874, 0.580, and 0.428. The test-retest reliability of the ISAS-Br, measured by the intraclass correlation coefficient, was 0.67 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.42 to 0.83), and the Bland-Altman plot showed satisfactory agreement between the measurements. Conclusion: The proposed Brazilian version of the ISAS underwent successful cross-cultural adaptation according to international standards. It demonstrated good acceptability and reliability, regarding the assessment of temporal stability. However, the ISAS-Br exhibited low internal consistency for some factors, indicating that this instrument lacks sensitivity to assess the satisfaction of deeply sedated patients. Further studies are necessary to explore the hypotheses raised based on the knowledge of its psychometric properties.

Physicians' attention to patients' communication cues can improve patient satisfaction with care and perception of physicians' empathy

ABSTRACT Background The pathway that links good communication skills and better health outcomes is still unclear. However, it is known that the way that physicians and patients communicate with each other has direct consequences on more "proximal outcomes", such as perceptions of physician empathy and patient satisfaction. However, which specific communication skills lead to those patient outcomes is still unknown. In this study, the authors aimed to analyze which specific patient and physician communication skills are correlated to patients' satisfaction with care and patient-perceived physician empathy. Methods The authors classified and quantified verbal and nonverbal communication of second-year internal medicine residents and their patients through video recordings of their consultations. Patients also rated their satisfaction with care and the physician's empathy for them. Results Using a linear regression model, the authors identified that patients' and physicians' expressions of disapproval, physicians' disruptions, and patients' use of content questions negatively correlated to patients' satisfaction and patient-perceived physician empathy. Conversely, patient affective behaviors and the physician's provision of advice/suggestion were positively correlated to at least one of the patient-measured outcomes. Conclusion Our findings point to the importance of physicians' attentiveness to patients' communication cues. Training physicians to interpret those cues could help develop more satisfactory and empathic therapeutic relationships.

Efficacy of an educational manual on the support provided by companions in an obstetric center: a randomized clinical trial / Oeficacia de un manual educativo en el apoyo proporcionado por acompañantes en un centro de obstetricia: ensayo clínico aleatorizado / Eficácia de manual educativo no apoio prestado por acompanhantes em centro obstétrico: ensaio clínico randomizado

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational manual on the support provided by companions during the labor process in an obstetric center. Method: a Randomized Clinical Trial conducted with 248 participants, comprising 124 companions and 124 puerperal women. The study took place between November 2018 and October 2019 at an obstetric center in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. The Companion Characterization Form, the Support Evaluation Form, and the Postpartum Woman's Labor Experience and Satisfaction Evaluation Form were used. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences statistical program. Chi-square and Fisher tests were employed, as well as the Mann-Whitney test. The Relative Risk (RR) and the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were calculated for the main dependent variables. Results: it was evident that the companions from the Intervention Group were more likely to engage in physical, emotional, informational and advocacy/intermediation support actions, with a statistically significant difference observed in all support dimensions when comparing both groups. The companions from the Intervention Group performed more support actions (20 vs 6; p:0.001) and rated the experience of accompanying the birth more favorably (100.0 vs 74.2; p:0.001). It was identified that the puerperal women accompanied by participants from the Intervention Group were more likely to express satisfaction with how the labor process took place. Conclusion: the intervention applied in the maternity unit using an educational manual aimed at parturients' companions is effective and contributes to providing support during childbirth.

Programa de cirugía ambulatoria en el Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell: satisfacción de los usuarios / Outpatient surgery program at Pereira Rossell Hospital: user satisfaction levels / Programa de cirurgia ambulatorial do Hospital Pereira Rossell: níveis de satisfação do usuario

Introducción: la patología de baja complejidad representa un número muy importante dentro de las cirugías que se realizan en pediatría. Los niños, en su mayoría, no presentan patologías previas que requieran cuidados especiales. Las listas de espera para resolución de pacientes de baja complejidad aumentan, en general, en meses donde el hospital se ve sobrecargado de ingresos, esto a su vez se ha visto incrementado en los últimos dos años, vinculado a la pandemia por COVID-19. Surgió, entonces, la necesidad de implementar un programa donde la patología de baja complejidad, en pacientes que cumplan ciertos criterios, pueda resolverse mediante la modalidad de cirugía ambulatoria. Esto implica un beneficio tanto para el niño y la familia, con reducción de los niveles de estrés vinculados a la permanencia en el hospital, menor probabilidad de adquirir infecciones intrahospitalarias, limitación en el impacto socioeconómico a nivel familiar, como claros beneficios para el hospital, ya que reduce el ingreso con reducción de costos y sin necesidad de utilizar camas de internación. Objetivo: analizar los resultados iniciales del programa de cirugía ambulatoria del Hospital Pediátrico del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell (HP-CHPR) en base a la satisfacción de la familia. Material y método: se recabaron los datos de pacientes asistidos bajo el sistema de cirugía ambulatoria desde junio de 2021 hasta enero de 2022. Aplicamos un cuestionario breve para evaluar la satisfacción del programa con vistas a evaluar resultados iniciales, y, de requerirlo, realizar cambios en pos de su mejora. Resultados: ingresaron al programa 35 pacientes en el Departamento de Cirugía General; pudimos realizar la encuesta de satisfacción a las personas responsables de 25 pacientes. El 100% de los encuestados considera que es beneficioso acompañar a su hijo a la sala de operaciones. Detallamos la respuesta a cada punto del cuestionario realizado. En el último apartado, donde preguntamos qué cambios realizaría, en cuatro casos las respuestas fueron "tomar en cuenta más la opinión del niño", "mejorar la información preoperatoria" y "mejorar la comunicación con respecto a los cuidados posoperatorios" y "mejorar los tiempos de ingreso a block". Conclusiones: la satisfacción de los cuidadores de los niños asistidos en su mayoría es buena. Detectamos aspectos a mejorar basados en ajustar tiempos de ingreso a la sala de operaciones, así como en la comunicación con el cuidador y el niño en lo que respecta a los cuidados posoperatorios en domicilio.

Introduction: low complexity pathologies account for a very high number of the surgeries performed in pediatrics. Most of the children do not present previous pathologies that require special care. The waiting lists for the resolution of low complexity surgeries generally increases during the months when the hospital is overloaded with admissions, a trend that has grown in the last 2 years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The need arose to implement a program where low-complexity pathology in patients who meet certain criteria can be resolved through out-patient surgery. This implies a benefit for both the child and the family, reduced stress linked to hospital stay, a lower probability of acquiring nosocomial infections, limitation of the socioeconomic impact at the family level, as well as clear benefits for the hospital, such as reduction of admission costs and hospital beds. Objective: to analyze the initial results of the Out-Patient Surgery Program of the CHPR Pediatric Hospital based on family satisfaction. Material and Methods: the data of patients assisted under the Ambulatory Surgery system were collected from June 2021 to January 2022. We applied a brief questionnaire to assess initial satisfaction levels regarding the program and eventual changes required to improve the program. Results: 35 patients joined the program in the Department of General Surgery and the satisfaction survey was completed by 25 patients. 100% of the respondents consider that it is beneficial to accompany their children into the surgical room. We describe the responses provided to all the questions administered to the 25 patients. In the last section of the questionnaire, where we asked what changes they would make, in 4 cases the answers were: "take the child's opinion into account more often", "improve preoperative information", "improve communication regarding postoperative care". and "improve block entry times". Conclusion: satisfaction levels of the assisted children caregivers are mostly good. We detected aspects to improve regarding adjustment of admission times into the surgical room as well as communication with the caregiver and the child regarding postoperative home care.

Introdução: a patologia de baixa complexidade representa um importante número das cirurgias que são realizadas em pediatria. A maioria das crianças não apresenta patologias prévias que requeiram cuidados especiais. As listas de espera para resolução de pacientes de baixa complexidade geralmente aumentam nos meses em que o hospital está sobrecarregado com internações, neste caso aumentaram nos últimos 2 anos, por causa da Pandemia da covid-19. Neste período, surgiu a necessidade de implementar um programa onde a patologia de baixa complexidade em pacientes que reúnam determinados critérios possa ser resolvida através de cirurgia ambulatorial. Isto implica um benefício tanto para a criança como para a família, com redução dos níveis de stress ligados ao internamento, menor probabilidade de contrair infeções nosocomiais, limitação do impacto socioeconômico ao nível familiar, bem como claros benefícios para o hospital, pois reduz a internação com custos reduzidos e diminui a necessidade de utilização de leitos de internação. Objetivo: analisar os resultados iniciais do programa de Cirurgia Ambulatorial do Hospital Pediátrico do CHPR baseados nos níveis de satisfação das famílias. Material e método: foram coletados os dados dos pacientes atendidos no sistema de Cirurgia Ambulatorial, no período de junho de 2021 a janeiro de 2022. Aplicamos um breve questionário para avaliar a satisfação com o programa, a fim de avaliar os resultados iniciais e exigir mudanças após o programa de benefício. Resultados: 35 pacientes ingressaram no programa no Departamento de Cirurgia Geral, pudemos realizar a pesquisa de satisfação de 25 pacientes. 100% dos inquiridos consideram que é positivo acompanhar os filhos ao centro cirúrgico. Detalhamos a resposta a cada ponto do questionário aplicado aos 25 pacientes. Na última seção do questionário, onde perguntávamos quais mudanças eles fariam, em 4 casos as respostas foram: "levar mais em conta a opinião da criança", "melhorar a informação pré-operatória", "melhorar a comunicação sobre os cuidados pós-operatórios" e "melhorar os tempos de entrada do bloco". Conclusão: o nível de satisfação dos cuidadores das crianças atendidas é em sua maioria bom. Detectamos aspectos a melhorar com base na adequação dos horários de admissão na sala cirúrgica e na comunicação com o cuidador e a criança sobre os cuidados pós-operatórios em casa.

The relationship between women's personality traits and fear of childbirth, birth satisfaction, and postpartum depression

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between women's personality traits and their fear of childbirth, birth satisfaction, and postpartum depression. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted between April and August 2022 among healthy third-trimester pregnant women aged 18-49 years who applied to the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic of a state hospital. Data were collected by the researchers by face-to-face interview method in three stages. Participants were administered the Personal Information Form, the Five-Factor Personality Scale, and the Birth Anticipation/Experience Scale at the first interview; the Birth Satisfaction Scale on the 10th day after normal birth; and the Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale 4 weeks after birth. RESULTS: There was a significant positive correlation between neurotic personality traits and fear of childbirth and postpartum depression, while there was a negative correlation with other personality traits (p<0.001). There was no significant relationship between birth satisfaction and personality traits (p>0.05). The effect of personality traits on fear of childbirth and postpartum depression was analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. The regression model tested for the effect of personality traits on fear of childbirth and postpartum depression was found significant (p<0.001). According to the model, 26% of the variability in fear of childbirth and 9.1% of the variability in postpartum depression were explained by personality traits. CONCLUSION: This study showed that neuroticism, which is one of the personality traits of women, had a positive effect on fear of childbirth and postpartum depression. No significant relationship was found between birth satisfaction and personality traits.
