Nível de atividade física, capacidade funcional e flexibilidade de soldados ingressantes no Exército brasileiro / Level of physical activity, functional capacity and flexibility of soldiers entering the Brazilian Army

Objetivou avaliar o nível de atividade física, capacidade funcional (CF) e a flexibilidade de adultos jovens antes e após dez meses de ingresso em um programa de exercícios físicos no Exército brasileiro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de coorte prospectivo. O nível de atividade física foi avaliado pelo Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ), a CF, pelo Teste de Cooper, e a flexibilidade, pelo Banco de Wells. Amostra (n = 198; 18±0,27 anos) com índice de massa corporal (IMC) de 23,23±3,84 kg/m2. Após dez meses de admissão no Exército, constatou-se redução na prevalência de sedentarismo (33  28%) e na CF (2.982±243,61  3.117±192,87 m), sem alteração da flexibilidade (27,31±7,39  27,52±7,40 cm). Houve grande tamanho de efeito no IMC, na relação cintura quadril (RCQ) e na flexibilidade. Conclui-se que a inserção em um programa de exercícios físicos no Exército brasileiro aumentou a CF e reduziu a RCQ dos jovens.

This study aimed to evaluate the level of physical activity, functional capacity (FC), and flexibility of young adults before and ten months after joining a physical exercise program in the Brazilian Army. This was a prospective cohort study. The level of physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), FC using the Cooper Test, and flexibility using the Wells bench. Sample (n = 198; 18±0.27 years) with a body mass index (BMI) of 23.23±3.84 kg/m2. After ten months of admission to the Brazilian Army, there was a reduction in the prevalence of sedentary lifestyle (33  28%) and FC (2,982±243.61  3,117±192.87 m), without change in flexibility (27.31±7.39  27.52±7.40 cm). There was a large effect size on BMI, waist-hip ratio (WHR), and flexibility. In short, inclusion in a physical exercise program in the Brazilian Army increased FC and reduced the WHR of young recruits.

Estresse ocupacional e enfrentamento em enfermeiros de um Hospital do Exército Brasileiro: abordagem qualitativa / Occupational stress and coping among nurses at a Brazilian Army Hospital: a qualitative approach

Este estudo buscou compreender os estressores ocupacionais percebidos por enfermeiras militares e os seus modos de enfrentamento. Pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, realizada em um hospital do Exército Brasileiro. A coleta de dados ocorreu de agosto a outubro de 2019 por meio de entrevista com uso de gravador eletrônico. Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva, e utilizou-se como referencial o Método Hermenêutico-Dialético com fundamentação na teoria dos sistemas de Betty Neuman. Com base nas unidades de significação dos discursos das participantes, foram identificadas três categorias de análise: (1) Estressores ocupacionais percebidos; (2) Percepção das enfermeiras sobre as repercussões do ambiente de trabalho na vida cotidiana; e (3) Enfrentamento dos estressores ocupacionais. A percepção das enfermeiras militares sobre o estresse ocupacional evidenciou que esse cenário é constituído de estressores típicos da profissão, do ser enfermeiro e do ser militar, podendo haver respostas diversas ao enfrentamento do estresse percebido.

This study aimed to understand the occupational stressors perceived by military nurses and their ways of coping. A qualitative research was carried out at a Brazilian Army hospital. Data collection took place from August to October 2019 through an interview by using an electronic recorder. The data were analyzed in a descriptive way, and the hermeneutic-dialectical method was used as a reference based on Betty Neuman's systems theory. Based on the units of signification of the participants' discourses, three categories of analysis were identified: (1)Perceived occupational stressors; (2) Perception of nurses about the repercussions of their work environment in everyday life; and (3) Coping with occupational stressors. The military nurses' perception of occupational stress showed that this scenario consists of stressors typical of the profession, of what it is like to be a nurse and to be in the military. There may be several responses to coping with perceived stress.

Prevalência e Autoconhecimento de Indicadores de Inflamação Sugestivos de Doença Periodontal em Militares / Prevalence And Self-Knowledge Of Indicators Of Inflammation Suggestive of Periodontal Disease In Military Personne

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a prevalência e o autoconhecimento para indicadores de inflamação sugestivos de doença periodontal em militares de ambos os sexos. Os militares foram recrutados para realização de um censo odontológico para toda a população do Centro de Instrução Almirante Wandenkolk (CIAW) da Marinha do Brasil, totalizando 409 voluntários. Foram formados dois grupos para posterior análise: Grupo 1- contendo exclusivamente mulheres e Grupo 2- contendo exclusivamente homens. Foram realizados 409 exames clínicos e analisados 409 questionários. Os resultados demonstraram que, quanto aos participantes militares, 40,1% foram do sexo feminino e 59,9%, do sexo masculino; 87% faziam uso do fio dental, desses 56% usavam diariamente; 77% apresentaram frequência de escovação de três vezes ao dia ou mais; 74,3% relataram que visitam regularmente o dentista, e a proporção de mulheres que frequenta regularmente o dentista superou significativamente a proporção de homens que o fizeram (I.C. 95%; p < 0,001); 61,6% afirmaram conhecer a doença periodontal. A avaliação profissional verificou a presença de indicadores de inflamação sugestivos de doença periodontal em 45,2% participantes, desses 37% eram do gênero feminino e 63%, do gênero masculino, não sendo observada diferença estatística entre os gêneros (I.C. 95%; p = 0,2248). Concluiu-se que a prevalência de indicadores de inflamação sugestivos de doença periodontal encontrada foi de 45,2%; o autoconhecimento dos militares sobre doença periodontal foi baixo, apenas 19%; dessa forma foi verificada diferença estatística entre o conhecimento das mulheres e dos homens; e observou-se que a maioria dos participantes estava dentro da frequência correta para consulta de retorno ao dentista.

The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence and self-recognition for indicators of inflammation suggestive of periodontal disease in military personnel of both genders. The military personnel was recruited to conduct a dental census for the entire population of the Admiral Wandenkolk Training Center of the Brazilian Navy, totaling 409 volunteers. Two groups were formed for further analysis: Group 1- containing exclusively women and Group 2- containing exclusively men. A total of 409 clinical examinations were performed and the questionnaires were analyzed. The results showed that, regarding the military participants, 40.1% were female and 59.9% were male; 87% used dental floss, of which 56% used it daily; 77% brushed three times a day or more; 74.3% reported that they visited the dentist regularly, and the proportion of women who regularly visited the dentist significantly exceeded the proportion of men who did (C.I. 95%; p<0.001); 61.6% said they knew about periodontal disease. The professional evaluation verified the presence of inflammation indicators suggestive of periodontal disease in 45.2% of the participants, of which 37% were female and 63% were male, with no statistical difference between genders (95% CI, p=0.2248). The prevalence of inflammation indicators suggestive of periodontal disease was 45.2%; the self-knowledge of the military about the periodontal disease was low, only 19%; thus a statistical difference was found between the knowledge of females and males; and it was observed that most participants were within the correct frequency for return visits to the dentist.

In loco provision of physical therapy services to military firefighters involved in Brumadinho dam disaster

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the impact of in loco physical therapy interventions on military firefighters involved in search and rescue operations following the collapse of the Brumadinho dam, in Minas Gerais. To describe the clinical and demographic profile of military firefighters receiving physical therapy care. Methods Physical therapy assessment and care protocols were designed. Protocols were based on manual physical therapy approaches, and aimed primarily to alleviate musculoskeletal pain. Physical therapists involved were duly trained prior to interventions to level technical skills. Physical therapy was provided upon request (i.e., military workers sought the service after work shift completion). Results A total of 318 military firefighters, most of whom were males (92.5%) mean age 32.9 years, received physical therapy care (575 sessions spread out over 48 days). In this sample, 43.4% of military workers had a history of musculoskeletal complaints. Military workers seeking physical therapy after completion of their work shifts reported mean pain intensity of 5.4 in a numerical scale. Spinal pain was reported in 61.7% of cases, followed by generalized muscle and myofascial pain (16.7%), lower and upper limb pain (14.4% and 6.8%, respectively). At the end of sessions, mean pain intensity reported dropped down to 1.3. Differences were statistically significant (non-parametric Wilcoxon test; p=0.001). Conclusion The unprecedented physical therapy intervention described had a positive impact on relief of musculoskeletal pain among military firefighters involved in search and rescue operations during the Brumadinho dam disaster, and seen at the end of their work shifts.

Articulação entre o serviço de saúde militar e os demais serviços públicos de saúde no controle da HIV/SIDA: o caso do hospital militar de maputo

Esta pesquisa faz uma análise da coordenação de ações entre o Serviço de Saúde Militar (SSM), mais especificamente o Hospital Militar de Maputo (HMM), e os demais serviços públicos do Sistema Nacional de Saúde de Moçambique (SNS) que operam na mesma cidade, particularmente em relação à atenção às Pessoas Vivendo com HIV/SIDA (PVHS). O termo articulação se refere neste trabalho à coordenação entre os diferentes atores/prestadores públicos de serviços de saúde, civis e militares, da cidade de Maputo nessa matéria, de forma a verificar se estão sincronizados e direcionados para o alcance de objetivos comuns. A exemplo do que ocorre em outros países, o SNS moçambicano possui um Serviço de Saúde Militar (SSM), que funciona como um subsistema, com unidades assistenciais operando em todas as províncias e que atende às necessidades de saúde dos militares e seus dependentes, assim como da população civil, em determinadas condições. O Hospital Militar de Maputo (HMM) subordina-se ao Ministério da Defesa Nacional (MDN). Entretanto, como uma das unidades sanitárias da cidade de Maputo, está integrado aos serviços públicos de saúde desta urbe, prestando assistência a usuários com agravos de várias ordens, inclusive portadores de HIV/SIDA. Há um Memorando de Entendimento entre o MDN e o Ministério da Saúde (MISAU), formalizada em 2005, voltado para a assistência à saúde das populações civis no SSM. . Porém, estudos sobre a descrição e análise dessa articulação com os demaisserviços públicos de saúde de Maputo, em relação ao HIV e outras doenças, e sobre osmecanismos que a operacionalizam, ainda são escassos. No HMM funciona um Laboratóriode Análises Clínicas que realiza exames de pacientes de diferentes proveniências, paradiversas patologias, e serve de referência para os exames de contagem de células T-CD4 dedoentes oriundos de alguns Centros de Saúde da Cidade de Maputo, no âmbito dacoordenação entre o MISAU e o MDN...

This study examines coordination of care between the Military Health Service (Serviço de Saúde Militar, SSM), more specifically Maputo Military Hospital (Hospital Militar de Maputo, HMM), and the other services of Mozambique’s National Health System (Sistema Nacional de Saúde, SNS) operating in the same city, particularly as regards care for people living with HIV/AIDS. In this paper, the term articulation is used to refer to the work of coordinating, in this connection, among civil and military public health service actors and providers in the city of Maputo, so as to assure that they are synchronised and directed to attaining common goals. As occurs in other countries, Mozambique’s SNS has an SSM, operating as a subsystem with care facilities in all the provinces, attending to the needs of military personnel and their dependents and, in certain circumstances, the civil population. The HMM is subordinated to the Ministry of National Defence (Ministério da Defesa Nacional, MDN). However, as one of several health facilities in Maputo city, is it integrated with the city’s public health services and provides care to users with conditions of various orders, including those with HIV/AIDS. A Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2005 between the MDN and the Ministry of Health (Ministério da Saúde, MISAU) addresses provision of health care by the SSM for civil populations. s. However, studies describing andanalysing this articulation with Maputo’s other public health services on HIV and otherdiseases, and the mechanisms by which it is operationalised, are still scarce. The HMM has aclinical laboratory which conducts testing of patients from various sources and for variouspathologies, serving as a referral centre for T-CD4 cell count testing of patients from some ofMaputo’s health centres, under the coordination between the MISAU and MDN...

Aportes de un General del Ejército Libertador a la enseñanza de la Anatomía Humana / Contribution to the teaching of the Human Anatomy of a General of the Liberating Army

Muchos médicos que integraron la sanidad militar del Ejército Libertador en la guerra de independencia cubana, continuaron vinculados a la medicina al finalizar el conflicto armado, unos ejerciendo la profesión, otros como salubristas y algunos dedicados a la docencia médica. Entre estos últimos fueron pocos los que se dedicaron a la enseñanza de las asignaturas que se imparten en los primeros años de la carrera, las que con sus conocimientos y habilidades constituyen las bases para el aprendizaje de las materias clínicas y quirúrgicas en los años superiores. El doctor Eugenio Molinet Amorós fue uno de estos últimos. Alcanzó el grado de General de Brigada del Ejército Libertador y ocupó importantes cargos en la Sanidad Militar en la Guerra del 95. Al concluir la misma y pasar al licenciamiento, fue profesor de Anatomía Humana en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de la Habana en los inicios de la república. El presente trabajo tiene el objetivo de ampliar los conocimientos sobre la participación y contribución de los médicos militares del Ejército Libertador en la docencia médica. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la labor de este profesional de la medicina y del contexto histórico social en el que se desempeñó como docente, un periodo trascendental de la historia de Cuba, el fin de la colonia y la instauración de la república(AU)

Many of the doctors who integrated the Military Health of the Liberating Army in the war of Cuban independence, on having finished the armed conflict continued linked to the medicine. Some exercising the profession, others like hygienists and some dedicated to the medical teaching.

Los cuerpos militares como hito social del cuidado para la enfermería naval / Military bodies as a social milestone of care for naval nursing

En las últimas décadas la enfermería en México ha realizado investigaciones que buscan recuperar su identidad disciplinar con base en la historiografía de distintos gremios de enfermeras indagando sobre sus orígenes y antecedentes históricos para definir los elementos ontológico y epistemológicos que les caracterizan. Tal es el caso de la Enfermería Naval que a través de su historia, describe la evolución profesional como gremio, con el objetivo de construir la primera historiografía sobre la formación de enfermeras navales en el medio militarizado, contribuyendo a su vez con el acervo histórico de la enfermería en México. La historia de este gremio se construyó con base en la fenomenología descriptiva e interpretativa, para ello se efectuó análisis de contenido de fuentes históricas documentales, periódicos, fotografías, videos, microfilms, entrevistas a profundidad e inclusive una historia de vida, entre las cuales se categorizaron temas y subtemas definiendo como ejes teóricos: los orígenes de la sanidad en el ejército, la iniciación de la enfermería en la Armada y la evolución de las enfermeras navales al servicio de sus milicias. Los resultados han revelado que los cuidados de enfermería hacia las milicias marítimas en México, datan desde el siglo XVIII principalmente en los puertos de Veracruz y Acapulco; así también, que a lo largo del siglo XX mediante fenómenos sociales como: la profesionalización de los marinos militares, la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el crecimiento económico de la zona marítima mexicana, la proporción de ayuda humanitaria a población en situación de catástrofe natural y el apoyo en los procesos de seguridad nacional, es como la enfermería naval mexicana ha evolucionado su práctica profesional. Se concluye que el gremio de enfermeras navales ha evolucionado en su disciplina, a través de estudiar, adaptar y articular su práctica profesional con su población de estudio que son los cuerpos militares marítimos, incrementando su nivel educativo a partir de la existencia de su escuela y consolidando su reconocimiento en el ámbito militar mediante la adaptación de sus cuidados en cuyo ambiente, representa la parte humana de la Armada de México.

On last decades the nursing in Mexico has done research with the intention of recovering its identity as a discipline based on the historiography of different nurses guilds, inquiring about their origins and historical background in order to define the ontologic and epistemological elements that characterize them. Such is the case of the Naval Nursing that through its history, describes the professional evolution as a guild, with the objective of building the first historiography about the formation of naval nurses inside the military scope, and at the same contributing with the nursing historical heritage of Mexico. The History of this guild was constructed based on the descriptive and interpretative phenomenology, for this was performed an analysis of the content of historical documental sources, newspaper, photographs, videos, microfilms, interviews in depth and even a life story, among which topics and subtopics were categorized, defining as theoretical axis: Origins of health in the army, the beginnings of the nursing in the Army and the evolution of the naval nurses to the services of their militias. The results have revealed that the nursing attentions toward the militias in Mexico dating mainly from the XVIII century in the Veracruz and Acapulco ports; also that along the XX century due to social phenomena as: the professionalization of the marines, the Second World War, the economic growth in the Mexican maritime area, the portion of humanitarian help given to the population at natural disaster and the support on the national security process, is how the Mexican naval nursing has evolved its professional practice. I conclude that the guild of the naval nurses has evolved in its discipline, through knowing, attending and articulating its professional practice with its study population which are the maritime military corps, increasing its educational level since the foundation of its school and consolidating its recognition in the military scope through adapting its care representing the human part of the Mexican Navy. Keywords: Military, naval nursing, care.

Research on mechanism and application of optimal disposition of military health service forces / 第二军医大学学报

Based on the theoretical difficulties and application of rapid decision-making in mechanism of optimal disposition of military health service forces, we established the logic model of optimal disposition factors of military health service forces and optimal decision-making using literature reviewing, expert consulting, and systemic analysis; we also established the optimal disposition model of military health service forces using linear programming, autoregressive integrated moving average and back propagation neural network model, and system dynamics, which reveals the intrinsic characteristics and laws of the optimal disposition of military health service forces. We prepared the supporting system and operational box for optimal disposition of the military health forces using the geographic information system, database system, software engineering, and decision support systems, which provide not only a theoretic model for optimal disposition of military health service forces, information software, and equipment tool, and also theoretical evidence for the rapid decision-making in military health resource planning for diversified military actions. Our study has expanded the research area of evidence-informed decision-making in military health forces.
