Aplicativos como estratégia de ensino na doença renal crônica infantil: uma revisão da literatura / APPS as strategy of teaching for child with chronic kidney disease: a review of literature

OBJETIVOS: realizar um levantamento sobre o desenvolvimento de aplicativos voltados para o paciente renal crônico infantil no Brasil e propiciar uma reflexão sobre sua contribuição no âmbito do autocuidado. MÉTODO: Utilizou se revisão da literatura, com consulta às bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE e SCIELO entre janeiro e abril de 2016.Foram identificados 73 artigos e selecionados 14 para o estudo. RESULTADOS: Não foram encontradas publicações abordando dispositivos voltados para pacientes renais, porém os estudos escolhidos discutem o potencial dos aplicativos para promoção da saúde através do repasse de informações, melhoria na comunicação, estímulo à autonomia e inclusão social. CONCLUSÃO: A utilização dessa tecnologia na saúde surge como estratégia de ensino-aprendizado, sendo factível como ferramenta para a criança portadora de doença renal. Dessa forma, propõe-se validar o BIM, aplicativo com vistas à educação para percepção de saúde, autocuidado e melhoria na qualidade de vida dessa população.

OBJECTIVES: to conduct a survey on the development of applications facing child chronic renal patients in Brazil and provide a reflection on their contribution in the self-care. METHOD: We used literature review, in consultation with the databases LILACS, MEDLINE and SCIELO between January and April 2016. We identified 73 articles and 14 selected for the study. RESULTS: Publications addressing facing devices for renal patients were not found, but studies chosen discuss the potential of health promotion for applications through the transfer of information, improved communication, stimulating autonomy and social inclusion. CONCLUSION: The use of this technology in health emerges as a teaching and learning strategy is feasible as a tool for child with kidney disease. Thus, it is It proposes to validate BIM app with a view to education for perceived health, self-care and improve the quality of life of this population.

Inhibition of self-grooming induced by sleep restriction in dam rats.

Background & objectives: Sleep restriction is a common feature of modern lifestyle and its effects can be extended to pregnancy. Several neurobehavioural consequences of sleep restriction during pregnancy have been reported, among which stand out perinatal depression and maternal fatigue, however, its effects over mother-infant relationship warrant further investigation. Thus, this study was aimed to evaluate the effects of sleep restriction during pregnancy over maternal behaviour and maternal aggression through animal models. Methods: Eighteen 90-day-old female Wistar rats were distributed in two groups: (i) Control - not submitted to any manipulation during pregnancy, and (ii) Sleep restriction - submitted to sleep restriction during the entire pregnancy (21 days) through the multiple platforms technique. In the postpartum day 5, resident-intruder paradigm and the latencies test were performed to assess both maternal behaviour and maternal aggression. Results: The sleep-restricted females displayed grooming in less frequency and duration, and with higher latency when compared to normal animals, while maternal aggression and maternal behaviour parameters remained equivalent between groups. Interpretation & conclusions: Considering the maintenance of maternal behavioural parameters, the inhibition of grooming seems to exert an adaptive mechanism, enabling sleep-restricted rats to display maternal behaviour properly.
