ABSTRACT

Abstract Quality of Life (QoL) is a predictor of development depending on multiple factors, being the QoL of infants still little studied, especially in permanent settings such as infants educational center or daycare centers. Correlate quality of life with age, family income and the neuropsychomotor development of infants between 4 and 18 months of age in daycare centers. Descriptive transverse study research, with clinical trials registration : RBR 2hd6sm on November 2, 2016. Quality of life was evaluated with interviews with the family through Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-PedsQL™ (Brazilian version). The infants were evaluated in a playful way, through the use of Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and Denver II test . 88 infants participated in the study. The infants evaluated had a good quality of life, with scores above 64%. AIMS presented the correlation with for physical functioning and total score of QoL. QoL of infants from 4 to 18 months of age is correlated with their neuropsychomotor development, which suggests the need for investigations between this theme and daycare centers.


Resumo Qualidade de vida (QV) é um preditor de desenvolvimento e depende de múltiplos fatores, sendo a QV de bebês ainda pouco estudada, especialmente em ambientes de permanência como os centros de educação infantil ou creches. Correlacionar a qualidade de vida com idade, renda familiar e desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de bebês entre 4 a 18 meses de idade que frequentam centros de educação infantil. Pesquisa descritiva transversal, com registro clínico RBR 2hd6sm em novembro de 2016. A Qualidade de Vida foi avaliada por meio de entrevistas com as famílias com o questionário Pediátrico de Qualidade de Vida-PedsQL™ (versão brasileira). Os bebês foram avaliados de maneira lúdica pela escala motora infantil de Alberta (AIMS) e pela Denver II. 88 bebês participaram do estudo. Os bebês avaliados tiveram uma boa qualidade de vida com escores acima de 64%. AIMS apresentou correlação com os escores de capacidade física e escore total de qualidade de vida. Qualidade de vida de bebês de 4 a 18 meses de idade correlacionam-se com seu desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, sugerindo a necessidade de investigações sobre esse tema em centros de educação infantil.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: adaptation to the day care center needs to be analyzed from the perspective of health as a key element for the protection of a healthy childhood. Objectives:to describe the intervening factors in the process of adaptation of children to the day care center and to analyze the health demands in this process. Methods:this is a descriptive qualitative research conducted in a municipal day care center in Rio de Janeiro/RJ, Brazil, with seven early childhood education professionals, through semi-structured interviews. Data were submitted to thematic analysis. Results: the findings showed that family, environment, reception, attendance at the day care center and food are factors that interfere with the adaptation of the child to the day care center. There are demands on child and family health for which it would be important to have the participation of health professionals, including nurses. However, the understanding of health is still linked to the biomedical model of the health-disease process. Conclusions:adaptation in the day care center is influenced by multidimensional factors that include interpersonal relationships established in this environment. The actions of nurses in day carecenters still need to gain strength and political and social visibility.


Introdução: a adaptação na creche precisa ser analisada sob a ótica da saúde como um elemento-chave para a proteção de uma infância saudável. Objetivos: descrever os fatores intervenientes no processo de adaptação da criança na creche e analisar as demandas em saúde nesse processo. Métodos: pesquisa descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada em uma creche municipal do Rio de Janeiro/RJ, Brasil, com sete profissionais de educação infantil, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram submetidos à análise temática. Resultados: os achados apontaram que família, ambiente, acolhimento, frequência na creche e alimentação são fatores que interferem na adaptação da criança na creche. Há demandas em saúde da criança e da família para as quais seria importante ter a participação de um profissional de saúde, incluindo o enfermeiro. Contudo, a compreensão de saúde ainda é vinculada ao modelo biomédico do processo saúde-doença. Conclusões: a adaptação na creche é influenciada por fatores multidimensionais que incluem as relações interpessoais estabelecidas nesse ambiente. A atuação do enfermeiro na creche ainda precisa ganhar força e visibilidade política e social.

ABSTRACT

Background: Thalassemia is a chronic debilitating disease that affects nearly 200 million people worldwide. A caregiver who has good knowledge regarding the disease can not only provide a better quality of care to his/her ward but also may spread knowledge in the society in which he/she lives which helps immensely in raising community awareness related to the disease.Methods: 50 caregivers (either mother or father) of chronically transfused thalassemic children were questioned regarding their knowledge, attitude and practice towards this disease, using a self-constructed questionnaire.Results: It was found that despite adequate knowledge regarding every aspect of this disease, there is a lack of attitude of practice towards prevention of this disease in their subsequent child or in their near and dear ones.Conclusions: There is a need to promote an attitude of practice in prevention of the birth of thalassemic children as mere knowledge regarding the disease is not enough in the present scenario where the disease burden is increasing as is the financial and emotional burden on the families. Role of Government sponsorship, a social worker and a child psychologist in the Thalassemia day care unit cannot be minimized.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the personal wellbeing index (PWI) among elderly aged 55 and above from the elderly day care centers in Macao, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, and associated factors.@*Methods@#We used convenient sampling to select participants from 16 elderly day care centers in Macao, Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Inclusion criteria were: females aged 55 or above, males 60 or above, the participants who were conscious and clearly understood the questionnaire. Informed consent form was signed by the participants. A total of 324 elderly participated in the study: 90 from Macao, 100 from Hong Kong, and 134 from Guangzhou. Close-end questionnaire was used to collect demographic information and PWI inventory (Cantonese version) was used to assess the PWI scores. Comparison in the PWI scores difference was conducted. Multiple regression method was used to analyze factors associated with PWI.@*Results@#The PWI was 7.3±1.9 (Macao: 7.7±1.9, Hong Kong: 7.2±1.7, Guangzhou: 7.0±1.9) (F=3.32, P=0.037). The multiple regression analysis showed that comparing to those who did exercised 3 times or less, or single/devoiced/separated, or had no education, the elderly who did exercised 4 times or more per week or married/widowed, or received education in primary school or above had higher PWI scores. The beta values (95%CI) were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.31-1.34), 1.03 (95% CI: 0.12-1.94), 0.51 (95% CI: 0.04-0.99) respectively.@*Conclusion@#The elderly participants aged 55 or above who went to elderly day care centers in three cities had higher PWI score generally. Marital status, participate in sufficient physical activity and advanced education level were significant related to PWI.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a aquisição de marcos motores nos primeiros dois anos de vida e as relações entre motricidade ampla e motricidade fina, cognição e linguagem em lactentes que frequentam creches. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal de uma amostra não probabilística de lactentes frequentadores de creches públicas e privadas de uma cidade da região sul do Brasil. Foram utilizadas a Alberta Infant Motor Scale e a Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development para a avaliação do desempenho motor de cada criança. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva para a caracterização da amostra e regressão linear simples em três distintas faixas etárias (grupo 1: entre seis e nove meses; grupo 2: entre 10 e 12 meses; grupo 3: entre 13 e 16 meses) para as análises das relações entre as variáveis motricidade ampla e fina, cognição e linguagem. RESULTADOS: Foram estudados 63 bebês entre seis e 16 meses de idade que não apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas suas características biológicas e sociodemográficas, quando comparados os três grupos estratificados. A maioria das crianças não adquiriu os marcos motores nos períodos esperados para a faixa etária. Houve correlação entre os escores de desenvolvimento, e observou-se que a motricidade ampla foi capaz de explicar grande parte da variabilidade nos escores de motricidade fina, cognição e linguagem (R2 ajust>0,5) ao longo dos dois primeiros anos de vida. CONCLUSÕES: As habilidades motoras observadas ocorreram, em geral, tardiamente na amostra observada. O atraso na aquisição dos marcos motores amplos repercutiu no atraso global do desenvolvimento, corroborando com a influência da motricidade ampla nos demais domínios do desenvolvimento.


AIMS: To evaluate the acquisition of motor milestones in the first two years of life and the relationship between gross motor function and manipulation, cognition and language in infants who attend day care centers. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample of infants attending public and private day care centers in a city in southern Brazil. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development were used to assess the motor performance of each child. Descriptive statistics were used for the characterization of the sample and simple linear regression in three different age groups (group 1: between six and nine months; group 2: between 10 and 12 months; group 3: between 13 and 16 months) for the analysis of relationships between the variables gross and fine motor skills, cognition and language. RESULTS: We studied 63 infants between six and 16 months of age who did not present statistically significant differences in their biological and sociodemographic characteristics when the three stratified groups were compared. Most children did not acquire the developmental milestones in the period expected for their age group. There was correlation between the developmental scores, and the gross motor function was able to explain a large part of the variability in the fine motor function, cognition and language scores (R2 ajust>0.5) over the first two years of life. CONCLUSIONS: The evaluated motor skills occurred generally late in the sample. The delay in the acquisition of gross motor milestones had an impact on the overall developmental skills, corroborating the influence of gross motor function in the other domains of development. KEY WORDS: infant development; motor skills; infant; child day care center.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Os programas de intervenção ofertados aos bebês potencializam o seu desenvolvimento. Objetivo: Melhorar a classificação de lactentes com atraso ou suspeita de atraso motor para bebês típicos através de um Programa de Intervenção Motora Precoce (PIMP) durante seis meses. Métodos: Participaram 15 bebês hígidos das classes B, C e D (11 meninos e 4 meninas), residentes no sul do Brasil e avaliados em três momentos: avaliação inicial (1ª avaliação), três meses (2ª avaliação) e seis meses (3ª avaliação) após o início da intervenção. Tarefas de perseguição visual, manipulação e controle postural foram realizadas, totalizando 20 minutos, três vezes por semana, por seis meses. A Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), que avalia posturas, escore total bruto e percentil e classificação de desenvolvimento, foi utilizada para avaliar as aquisições dos bebês. Foi adotado 5% para o nível de significância. Resultados: Houve diferença significativa em relação às posturas, exceto no "supino" (p = 0,428). Para "prono", "sentado" e "escore total" a diferença foi significativa da 1ª avaliação para a 2ª e 3ª, (p = 0,004), (p = 0,014), (p = 0,001) respectivamente. Na postura em pé houve diferença significativa durante o estudo (p < 0,001). Em relação ao percentil, a 3ª avaliação apresentou resultados mais significativos (p < 0,001) do que os da 1ª e 2ª avaliações, que não diferiram entre si. Conclusão: A classificação do escore AIMS apresentou aumento do percentual de normalidade nos três momentos. Todos apresentaram normalidade ao final do estudo. O efeito do programa interventivo em lactentes ao longo do tempo proporciona impacto positivo nos marcos motores.(AU)


Introduction: Intervention programs offered to babies empower their development. Aim: The goal was to improve the ranking of babies with suspicion of Delay or Motor Delay of Typical babies through an Early Motor Intervention Program (EMIP) for six months. Methods: Fifteen healthy babies' class B, C and D (11 boys and 4 girls), residents in southern Brazil and evaluated at three different points: baseline (1 st assessment), three months (2nd assessment) and six months (3rd assessment) after starting intervention. Chase visual tasks, handling and postural control were performed, 20 minutes, three times a week for six months. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), which evaluates postures, total gross score and percentile and development of classification, was used to evaluate the acquisitions of babies. It was adopted for the 5% level of significance. Results: There were significant differences in relation to the positions except the "supine" (p = 0.428). For "prone position", "sitting" and "total score" the difference was significant for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd assessment (p = 0.004) (p = 0.014) (p = 0.001) respectively. The standing posture significant difference was observed during the study (p < 0.001). Regarding the 3rd percentile evaluation, results showed significant (p < 0.001) than the 1st and 2nd ratings that did not differ from each other. Conclusion: The classification of AIMS score had increased the normal percentage in three stages. All had normal at the end of the study. The effect of intervening program in babies provides positive impact on the motor milestones. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio de intervención terapéutica en 128 niños ambliopes, pertenecientes al Círculo Infantil de Atención Especial "Pulgarcito" de Santiago de Cuba, desde septiembre del 2013 hasta julio del 2014, con vistas a demostrar la efectividad de la estimulación visual temprana y desarrollar habilidades al respecto. No hubo diferencias significativas entre ambos sexos. El estrabismo constituyó la primera causa de ambliopía y se obtuvieron mejores resultados en los niños que fueron tratados precozmente. La estimulación temprana fue efectiva para desarrollar habilidades en el orden visual, mediante un tratamiento médico - pedagógico que favoreció la incorporación de estos niños a la familia, la escuela y la sociedad de forma armónica. Se recomendó efectuar pesquisa en menores de 2 años que no asistan a círculos infantiles para diagnosticar tempranamente la ambliopía y así poder controlar la ceguera evitable.


A therapeutic intervention study in 128 amblyopic children, belonging to "Pulgarcito" Special Care Day-care Center in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from September, 2013 to July, 2014, with the aim of demonstrating the effectiveness of the early visual stimulation and to develop abilities on this respect. There were not significant differences between both sexes. Strabismus constituted the first cause of amblyopia and better results were obtained in the early treated children. The early stimulation was effective to develop abilities in the visual order, by means of a medical - pedagogical treatment that favored the incorporation from these children to the family, school and society in a harmonic way. It was recommended to make an screening in children under 2 years who don´t attend day-care centers to diagnose amblyopia early and this way to control the avoidable blindness.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una investigación descriptiva, longitudinal y prospectiva de 80 niños de 5-6 años de edad, correspondientes al nivel preescolar, que asistieron al Círculo Infantil "Ana de Quesada" de Santiago de Cuba desde octubre de 2010 hasta septiembre de 2011, para determinar la presencia de interferencias dentarias y alteraciones morfofuncionales en ellos, en caso de existir, así como también la posterior evolución del tratamiento de tallado selectivo (terapia neuroclusal) de Planas en los 53 escolares en los cuales fue preciso aplicarlo, siempre en sus dientes temporales. En 94,0 % de los pacientes tratados con la mencionada técnica se logró restablecer la dinámica mandibular, al rebajar las interferencias cuspídeas y lograr que masticasen por el lado o los lados requeridos, según sus características individuales.


A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective investigation of 80 children aged 5-6 years, corresponding to the preschool level that attended "Ana de Quesada" day care center in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from October, 2010 to September, 2011, to determine the presence of dental interferences and morphofunctional disorders in them, in case they existed, as well as the following course of Planas elective carving treatment (neuroclusal therapy ) in the 53 scholars in whom was necessary to apply it, always in their deciduous teeth. In the 94.0% of patients treated with the mentioned technique it was possible to reestablish the dynamic maxilla, when reducing the cuspid interferences and achieving chewing for the side or the required sides, according to their individual characteristics.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una investigación descriptiva y de prevalencia en 80 niños de 5-6 años de edad, que asistieron al Círculo Infantil "Ana de Quesada" de Santiago de Cuba desde octubre de 2010 hasta septiembre de 2011, para precisar la influencia de algunos factores de riesgo en la aparición de interferencias dentarias en escolares con dentición temporal y mixta temprana. La prevalencia de interferencias dentarias fue elevada en la serie objeto de estudio, en cuyos integrantes se determinaron como factores predisponentes para la aparición de alteraciones morfológicas y funcionales de la oclusión: lactancia y dieta no adecuada, hábitos deformantes como ingerir la leche en biberón, hábito postural sobre la cara y disfunción lingual. De todo ello se infiere que la detección precoz de las interferencias oclusales permite interceptar las maloclusiones dentarias, así como prevenir anomalías dentomaxilofaciales y trastornos de la articulación temporomandibular.


A descriptive and prevalence investigation was carried out in 80 children between 5-6 years who attended "Ana de Quesada" day care center in Santiago de Cuba from October, 2010 to September, 2011, to specify the influence of some risk factors in the emergence of tooth interferences in school children with early temporary and mixed dentition. The prevalence of tooth interferences was high in the studied series, in whom predisposing factors for the emergence of morphological and functional changes of the occlusion: nursing and non appropriate diet, deforming habits such as to ingest milk in baby bottle, postural habit on the face and lingual dysfunction were determined. It is inferred from this that the early detection of the occlusal interferences allows to intercept the teeth malocclusions, as well as to prevent dentomaxillofacial anomalies and dysfunctions of the temporomandibular articulation.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to apply methodological procedures to determine the prevalence of adequacy of Iron and vitamin C in children's diets. It was included 238 children aged 2 to 3 years enrolled in 2009 in 25 day care centers in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Dietary intake was assessed by weighing the food and food record. Assessing the prevalence of nutrient adequacy took into consideration the individual and the group. The best estimate of the needs of the individual is given by the estimated average requirement (EAR), since we do not know the true needs of the individual who is being evaluated. To estimate the need of the group method was used EAR as the cutoff. The prevalence of adequacy of iron and vitamin C in children's diets was 91.2 and 62.2%, respectively. All necessary to achieve the method EAR as the cutoff were used, but became unviable the adjustment of the observed consumption data to estimate the distribution of usual intake in this group. We conclude that the study of probability of adequacy of habitual diet in iron and vitamin C in the age group in question was only possible with the use of procedures for the individual.


O objetivo deste estudo foi aplicar procedimentos metodológicos para determinar a prevalência de adequação de ferro e vitamina C em dietas infantis. Foram incluídas na amostra 238 crianças de 2 e 3 anos matriculadas no ano de 2009 em 25 creches no município do Rio de Janeiro. O consumo alimentar foi avaliado por pesagem de alimentos e registro alimentar. Para avaliação da prevalência de adequação de um nutriente levou-se em consideração o indivíduo e o grupo. A melhor estimativa das necessidades do indivíduo é dada pela necessidade média estimada (EAR), já que não se conhece a necessidade verdadeira do indivíduo que se está avaliando. Para estimar a necessidade do grupo foi utilizado o método da EAR como ponto de corte. A prevalência de adequação de ferro e vitamina C nas dietas infantis para cada criança foi de 91,2 e 62,2%, respectivamente. Foram utilizadas todas as premissas necessárias à consecução do método da EAR como ponto de corte, porém tornou-se inviável o ajustamento dos dados de consumo observado para estimar a distribuição do consumo habitual neste grupo. Conclui-se que o estudo de probabilidade de adequação da dieta habitual em ferro e vitamina C no grupo etário em apreço só foi possível com a utilização dos procedimentos destinados ao indivíduo.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo foi avaliar o estado nutricional e desenvolvimento motor em crianças de 03 a 24 meses. Pesquisa descritiva tipo estudo de caso, sujeitos 22 crianças matriculadas na Creche Conde Modesto Leal (Joinville-SC), com idade 3 a 24 meses (15,10 ± 5,08); avaliaram-se 14 meninas (14,64 meses ± 5,06) e 8 meninos (15,91 meses ± 5,02). Como instrumento se utilizou para avaliar o estado nutricional uma ficha encaminhada aos pais e para o desenvolvimento motor foram utilizados os padrões motores do programa WHO Anthro 2007. A análise dos dados se procedeu através da estatística descritiva e paramétrica. Em relação ao estado nutricional no índice peso/idade, os meninos encontraram-se acima. Para o índice comprimento/idade, tanto meninas quanto meninos estavam abaixo dos padrões. No índice IMC/idade se evidenciou ambos os sexos acima dos padrões. Após a análise das médias gerais e medianas pelo escore Z as crianças foram classificadas pelos critérios da OMS em eutróficas. Em relação ao desenvolvimento motor nenhuma criança apresentou atraso. Comparando os índices de estado nutricional e desenvolvimento motor, notou-se que no índice IMC/idade uma criança estava dentro do escore -1 e 2, com escore de 1. Classificando essas crianças, 20 (90%) foram consideradas eutróficas e 2 (10%) com sobrepeso. As crianças possuem fatores ambientais favoráveis ao seu desenvolvimento, como assistência a saúde, alimentação e condições de higiene adequadas.


The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional state and motor development of children 3 to 24 months old. It is a descriptive, case study research with 22 children enrolled in the day care center Conde Modesto Leal, in Joinville, SC, Brazil; 14 girls and 8 boys were evaluated (14.64 5.06 months and 15.91 5.02 old). A sheet was sent to the parents to assess the nutritional condition and for motor development the motor standards of the WHO Antro 2007 program were used. Data were analysed by means of descriptive and parametric statistics. As regards the nutritional state, in the weight/age index the boys were superior; as for the height/age index, both boys and girls were below standard. In the CMI/age index, both sexes were above standards. After analysis of the general and median averages by the Z score, the children were classified as eutrophic by WHO criteria. As regards motor development, none of the children stayed behind.Comparing the nutritional state and motor development indexes, it was noted that one child had a -1 score and 2, a 1 one. Classifying these children, 20 (90%) were considered eutrophic and 2 (10%), overweight. The authors conclude that these subjects enjoyed environmental factors favorable to their development, such as adequate health care, feeding and hygienic conditions.

ABSTRACT

Estudos têm revelado uma ligação entre a maneira como os adultos pensam e as formas como eles se relacionam com as crianças. Este estudo objetivou levantar as crenças de mães e professoras sobre o desenvolvimento da criança que freqüenta o ambiente de creche e identificar se as crenças se dirigem para as características de competências ou de disfunções. Participaram deste estudo 28 adultos (16 mães e 12 professoras). Para coletar os dados utilizou-se o grupo focal e para interpretá-los a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram que as participantes possuem a mesma crença (ambientalista) sobre desenvolvimento, mas têm concepções diferentes quanto à direção em que o contexto familiar e/ ou da creche influencia no desenvolvimento. A análise indica que a formação inicial e continuada das profissionais precisa contemplar aspectos específicos do desenvolvimento infantil para que crenças mais adequadas sejam construídas e compartilhadas com as famílias de crianças que frequentam ambientes coletivos.


Studies have shown a link between the way the adults think and the forms they become related with the children. This study had as objective to know the mothers and teachers' beliefs about the development of the child who frequents the day-care center to identify if the beliefs had characteristics of abilities or dysfunctions. Twenty-eight adults had participated in this study (16 mothers and 12 teachers). To collect the data it was utilized the focal group and to interpret them, the analysis of the content. The results had pointed that the participants have the same belief (environmentalist) about the development, but have different conceptions about the direction where the familiar context and/or of the day-care center influences in the development. The analysis indicates that the initial and continued formation of the professionals needs to contemplate specific aspects of the children development so the more adjusted beliefs can be constructed and shared with the families of children who frequent collective environments.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a day care rehabilitation program managed by nurses on physical and emotional function of patients with job-related injuries. METHOD: A one group pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design was used. Thirty patients participated in a day care rehabilitation program and 9% of those were unable to complete the 16 weeks program due to absence. The physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and clinical psychologist offered the day care rehabilitation program, 5 times a week for 16 weeks. Outcome measures included physical and emotional function. RESULTS: The program participants had significantly greater motor function (t=-2.85, p=.008) and activity of daily living (t=-5.34, p<.001), and lower depression (t=5.20, p<.001), state anxiety (t=4.71, p<.001), and trait anxiety (t=4.40, p<.001). CONCLUSION: The nurse managed day care rehabilitation program significantly improved physical and emotional function in patients with job-related injuries. The program should be further tested in a larger sample to validate the findings.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar a linguagem de crianças anêmicas tratadas em comparação com as não anêmicas. Métodos: estudo longitudinal prospectivo caso-controle unicego com avaliação da linguagem de 36 crianças entre dois e sete anos. As crianças foram submetidas à punção digital, para detecção da anemia, e tiveram seu desenvolvimento da linguagem observado. As anêmicas (n = 14) foram submetidas à terapêutica, em dose semanal, por 12 semanas. Foram reavaliadas um ano após o término do tratamento e comparadas com as não anêmicas (n = 22). Resultados: a concentração média de hemoglobina foi de 10,9 g/dl nogrupo-caso e de 12,7 g/dl no controle antes do tratamento. Na avaliação prévia da linguagem, observou-se diferença entre os grupos na recepção (p=0,02) e emissão (p < 0,001), piores nos anêmicos. O grupo caso, um ano após o tratamento, continuou apresentando piores índices, diferindo do controle no aspecto da recepção da linguagem. Conclusão: as crianças anêmicas podem manter alterações de linguagem após tratamento da anemia.


Objective: to evaluate anemic children language compared with the non-anemic ones. Methods: A prospective longitudinal study single blinded case-controlled to evaluate the language of 36 children between two and seven years. The children underwent fingerstick tests to detect anemia, and had their language development observed. The anemic ones (n = 14) have undergone weekly dosed therapy for 12 weeks. Then they were re-evaluated one year after the end of the treatment and compared to non anemic children (n = 22). Results: prior to treatment the average concentration of hemoglobin was 10.9 g/dl in the group case and 12.7 g/dl in the control. In the language previous evaluation, it was found difference between the groups at the reception (p=0,02) and emission (p < 0,001), worse in the anemic ones. The group-case, one year after the treatment, continued presenting the worst results, differing from the control in the aspect of language reception. Conclusion: anemic children may keep language disorders after anemia treatment.

ABSTRACT

Like many other developing countries, Brazil has been going a nutritional transition which presence both malnutrition and overweight. Stunting and overweight are the major public health problems in Brazilian children. The objective of this study was to document the prevalence of stunting, overweight and anemia in preschool children and examine if those nutritional problems are related; also identify if these nutritional problems have the same risk factors. Data from the “Efficient Daycare Center Project” which include 270 children attending nurseries of eight daycare centers in Sao Paulo city, Brazil were used for this study. Data on height and weight were converted to z-scores using WHO anthro software. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations were determined on finger-prick blood samples. The co-occurrence of stunting, overweight and anemia was investigated by contingency tables a log-linear model. Univariate and multiple regression analyses were performed to estimate the association of HAZ, WAZ, WHZ and Hb levels with their risk factors. The results showed high prevalence of overweight (22.2 percent), risk of stunting (22.6 percent) and anemia (37 percent). Percent of daycare attendance, age, number of siblings under 5 years old and per capita income are associated with Hb levels. This study provides evidence that Brazil is going through a nutritional transition and suggest that the adoption of public policies to expand and improve services in daycare centers may help to prevent multi-nutritional problems in preschool children.


Como muchos otros países en desenvolvimiento Brasil esta pasando por la transición nutricional, la cual tiene presente a la desnutrición y sobrepeso. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo mostrar la prevalencia de baja estatura, sobrepeso y anemia en niños en edad preescolar y analizar si esos problemas nutricionales están relacionados; también identificar si esos problemas nutricionales presentan los mismos factores de riesgo. Fueron utilizados datos del “Proyecto CrechEficiente” el cual estudio 270 niños que asisten a cunas de ocho jardines de la infancia en la ciudad de Sao Paulo, Brasil. Los datos de peso y estatura fueron convertidos en z-escore utilizando el software WHO Anthro. La extracción de sangre para la determinación de hemoglobina (Hb) se realizó por punción digital. La co-ocurrencia de baja estatura, sobrepeso y anemia fue investigada a tráves de tablas de contingencia y modelo log-linear. Fueron realizados análisis univariados y regresión múltiple para determinar la asociación entre TEZ, PEZ, PTZ y niveles de hemoglobina con sus factores de riesgo. Los resultados mostraran elevada prevalencia de sobrepeso (22,2 por ciento), riesgo para baja estatura (22,6 por ciento) y anemia (37 por ciento). El porcentaje de frecuencia a los jardines infantiles, edad, número de hermanos menores de 5 años y renta per cápita están asociados con los niveles de hemoglobina. Este estudio muestra evidencia de que el Brasil esta pasando por una transición nutricional y sugiere adopción de políticas públicas para difundir y mejorar los servicios de los jardines infantiles pudiendo ayudar a prevenir varios problemas nutricionales en niños en edad preescolar.

ABSTRACT

Na atualidade, as creches representam um grande avanço social, permitindo que as mães possam permanecer no mercado de trabalho, principalmente das médias e grandes cidades. Desta forma, as mães não acompanham de perto a alimentação de seus filhos, sendo que, na faixa etária de pré-escolares, uma boa alimentação é importante para a manutenção da saúde e criação de bons hábitos alimentares. Tendo isso em vista, este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma avaliação antropométrica e do consumo alimentar de crianças em creches da cidade de Umuarama, estado do Paraná. A avaliação antropométrica foi realizada com cálculo do IMC e dos escores z para peso/idade, peso/estatura e estatura/idade. A avaliação do consumo alimentar foi realizada pelo método de pesagem direta dos alimentos oferecidos. Os resultados indicaram que os pré-escolares apresentavam uma tendência ao aumento de peso e de estatura e, quanto à oferta de nutrientes nas creches, proteínas e sódio estavam acima das recomendações, enquanto os demais nutrientes e energia encontravam-se abaixo do recomendado. Esses resultados indicam ser necessária uma maior vigilância quanto à oferta de nutrientes oferecidos aos pré-escolares que freqüentam creches.


Day-care centers are social advancement allowing the mothers to stay in the labor market mainly from medium and large cities. Therefore, mothers do not follow their childrens feeding closely, whereas in the age group of preschoolers a balanced diet is important for maintaining health and developing good eating habits. Then, this study carries out an anthropometric and dietary intake assessment on children in day-care centers in Umuarama - PR. The anthropometric assessment was performed by calculating the BMI and the z-scores for weight/age, weight/height, and height/age. Food intake was assessed by direct weighing. Results showed that preschoolers showed a tendency to weight gain and increase in height. Protein and sodium were above the recommended while the supply of other nutrients was below. These results show the need for vigilance on nutrient supply for preschoolers attending day-care centers.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is a major factor in the transmission of this bacterium. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Nasopharyngeal cultures were performed on children attending 32 day-care centers in 12 states in Mexico. RESULTS: Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated from the nasopharynx of 829 out of 2 777(29.9 percent) subjects aged two months to six years. All children lived in urban areas and 80 percent spent more than six hours daily in a day-care center. Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes most frequently identified were: 19F (23 percent), 6B (15.6 percent), 23F (11.2 percent) and 6A (14.9 percent). Thirty-six percent of the isolates were susceptible to penicillin. CONCLUSIONS: Serotype distribution suggests the possible benefits that could be obtained from the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.


OBJETIVO: La intención de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de portadores nasofaríngeos asintomáticos de Streptococcus pneumoniae, el cual es el principal factor en la transmisión de esta bacteria. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Los cultivos nasofaríngeos fueron realizados en niños que asisten a 32 estancias infantiles en 12 estados de México. RESULTADOS: Streptococcus pneumoniae fue aislado de la nasofaringe de 829 (29.9 por ciento) niños de los 2 777 incluidos en el estudio con un rango de edad de 2 meses a 6 años. Todos los niños vivían en áreas urbanas y 80 por ciento permanecían más de seis horas diarias en la estancia infantil. Los serotipos de Streptococcus pneumoniae más frecuentemente identificados fueron: 19F (23 por ciento), 6B (15.6 por ciento), 23F (11.2 por ciento) y 6 A (14.9 por ciento). Treinta y seis por ciento de los aislamientos fueron susceptibles a penicilina. CONCLUSIONES: La distribución de serotipos nos da una idea de los posibles beneficios que podrían obtenerse de la vacuna neumocóccica conjugada heptavalente.
