ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To unveil the experience of ambulance drivers regarding the transfer of suspected or confirmed patients for COVID-19. METHOD: Exploratory study with a qualitative approach conducted in October 2021 with 18 drivers from the Northwestern Mesoregion of the State of Ceará-Brazil. The individual interviews occurred virtually, via Google Meet®, and for data processing the IRAMUTEQ® software was used. RESULTS: Six classes were obtained: Feelings experienced during transfers; Concern about contamination of the work team and family members; Therapeutic itinerary, patients' clinical status and increase in the number of transfers; Disinfection of ambulances between transfers of patients with suspected and/or diagnosed COVID-19; Gowning for patient transfers and Psychospiritual aspects of drivers during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: The experience was marked by challenges in adapting to the new routine and procedures during transfers. It was evidenced feelings of fear, insecurity, tension and anguish in the worker's reports.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to analyze, in the scientific literature, the knowledge available on the use of the prone position in pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 or other health conditions. METHOD: an integrative literature review developed through the following guiding question: What is the scientific knowledge available on the use of the prone position in pregnant women with COVID-19 or other health conditions? The search for studies was carried out in eight databases. RESULTS: using the prone position in pregnant women with Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome allowed for improvements in lung compliance and oxygenation. It also allowed reducing uterine compression on the maternal large vessels, and a reduction in blood pressure was observed in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. The prone position was also safe in the surgical management of pregnant patients. In addition, the following conditions stood out as disadvantages related to the prone position in pregnant women: possibility of aortocaval compression, causing severe hypotension, and inability to easily monitor fetal status or to perform emergency Cesarean sections. CONCLUSION: the prone position was considered safe, reliable and comfortable for its use in the clinical management of pregnant women, where specific care measures must be taken to avoid compression of gravid abdomen, as well as fetal monitoring is important to detect placental circulation impairment.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo analisar os benefícios da auriculoacupuntura em profissionais de enfermagem atuantes na pandemia COVID-19 à luz da Teoria do Conforto de Katherine Kolcaba. Método pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, realizada com 33 profissionais de enfermagem atuantes no combate à COVID-19. Os depoimentos foram coletados por meio de entrevista após a realização de sessões de auriculoacupuntura, em seguida organizados e analisados segundo a análise de conteúdo de Bardin, com ancoragem na Teoria do Conforto. Resultados emergiram três categorias temáticas: "Auriculoacupuntra como medida de conforto";"(Des)Conforto físico e psicoespiritual e atuação na assistência à COVID-19";e, "Do apoio organizacional ao comprometimento individual com a saúde". Verifica-se que os sujeitos declararam melhora no autopercepção de conforto, com destaque para os domínios físico e psicoespiritual, como a melhora da ansiedade, dores e qualidade do sono. A integridade institucional aparece como aliada ao comportamento de procura de saúde. Considerações finais e implicações para a prática: A auriculoacupuntura foi percebida como benéfica para melhorar a sensação de conforto físico e psicoespiritual pelos profissionais de enfermagem. RESUMEN Objetivo analizar los beneficios de la auriculopuntura en profesionales de enfermería que prestan servicios vinculados a la pandemia de COVID-19 a la luz de la Teoría de la comodidad de Katherine Kolcaba.

ABSTRACT

Objective to analyze scientific evidence on the efficacy of cloth masks in preventing COVID-19 and other respiratory infections. Method integrative literature review based on the following guiding question: What is the efficacy of cloth face masks in absorbing particles that cause respiratory infection? The search was conducted in eight electronic databases, without any restriction in terms of language or period. Results low coverage cloth face masks made of 100% cotton, scarf, pillowcase, antimicrobial pillowcase, silk, linen, tea towel, or vacuum bag, present marginal/reasonable protection against particles while high coverage cloth masks provide high protection. Conclusion cloth face masks are a preventive measure with moderate efficacy in preventing the dissemination of respiratory infections caused by particles with the same size or smaller than those of SARS-CoV-2. The type of fabric used, number of layers and frequency of washings influence the efficacy of the barrier against droplets. Objetivo analizar las evidencias científicas sobre la eficacia de las máscaras de tejido para la prevención de COVID-19 y otras infecciones respiratorias. Método revisión integradora de la literatura a partir de la pregunta orientadora: ¿qué eficacia tienen las máscaras de tejido en la absorción de partículas que causan infección respiratoria? La búsqueda fue llevada a cabo en ocho bases de datos electrónicas, sin restricciones de tiempo e idioma. Resultados las máscaras de tejido de baja cobertura, 100% algodón, bufanda, funda, funda antimicrobiana, lino, seda, toalla de té y bolsa de aspiradora demuestran una protección marginal/razonable en la absorción de partículas, mientras que las máscaras de tejido de alta cobertura tienen una protección elevada. Conclusión las máscaras de tejido representan una medida preventiva de eficacia moderada en la propagación de infecciones respiratorias causadas por partículas de tamaño igual o menor al SARS-CoV-2. La eficacia de la barrera contra las gotitas se ve influida principalmente por el tipo de tejido, la cantidad de capas y la frecuencia de lavado. Objetivo analisar as evidências científicas sobre a eficácia de máscaras de tecido para a prevenção da COVID-19 e outras infecções respiratórias. Método revisão integrativa da literatura a partir da questão norteadora: "Qual a eficácia das máscaras de tecido na absorção de partículas causadoras de infecção respiratória?". A busca ocorreu em oito bases de dados eletrônicas sem restrição de tempo e idioma. Resultados as máscaras de tecido de baixa cobertura, 100% algodão, cachecol, fronha, fronha antimicrobiana, linho, seda, toalha de chá e saco de aspirador apresentam proteção marginal/razoável na absorção de partículas, enquanto as máscaras de tecido com alta cobertura têm elevada proteção. Conclusão as máscaras de tecido representam medida preventiva com eficácia moderada na disseminação de infecções respiratórias ocasionadas por partículas de tamanho igual e/ou menor ao SARS-CoV-2. A eficácia da barreira contra as gotículas é influenciada, principalmente, pelo tipo de tecido, quantidade de camadas e frequência de lavagens.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to analyze YouTube videos with information about COVID-19 in Brazilian sign language. METHODS: a cross-sectional study conducted with 402 videos from the YouTube sharing platform. Chi-square, Fisher's exact, Mann-Whitney and Spearman's correlation tests were used. RESULTS: the videos mainly covered COVID-19 prevention (20.6%). There was a positive correlation between video length and number of views (p<0.001). The length of more than 20 minutes was associated with narration only in BSL (p=0.37) and in BSL with audio (p<0.001), while videos with less than 20 minutes were associated with simultaneous narration in BSL, audio and subtitles. Those with narration only in BSL had a similar number of views to those narrated with subtitles and/or audio (p=0.998). CONCLUSION: the videos were mostly short and included COVID-19 prevention. The longer the video, the greater the number of views. Regardless the presentation of narrations, the videos had a similar number of views.
