ABSTRACT

A aprendizagem baseada em projeto orientada pelos fundamentos da educação interprofissional é um modelo que pode contribuir para a formação de relacionamentos interpessoais, criatividade, empatia e colaboração na educação médica, por meio de uma colaboração mútua com profissionais de saúde da rede. Muito se fala da efetividade desse método no campo do ensino e aprendizagem médica, mas há a necessidade de incluir a importância do desenvolvimento de habilidades interprofissionais, com equipes colaborativas, em ações extensionistas, diante das necessidades locais no contexto da atenção primária, pensando na melhoria dos resultados de saúde. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um relato de experiência de aprendizagem baseada em projeto de estudantes de Medicina no contexto da Estratégia Saúde da Família. Participaram deste trabalho estudantes do Módulo Integração Ensino, Serviço e Comunidade da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri que executaram, em colaboração com uma equipe interprofissional o projeto sobre a saúde do homem. Como resultado da análise qualitativa do feedback entre os integrantes, observaram-se mudanças no comportamento dos estudantes, com melhorias na comunicação, empatia e nas relações interpessoais, por meio do trabalho colaborativo com a equipe interprofissional. Esta experiência poderá ser adaptada para implementar o ensino e aprendizagem no projeto pedagógico orientado pela educação interprofissional na atenção primária.


Project-based learning guided by the fundamentals of interprofessional education is a model that can contribute to the formation of interpersonal relationships, creativity, empathy and collaboration within medical education, through mutual collaboration with health professionals in the health network. Much has been said about the effectiveness of this method in medical teaching and learning, but there is a need to include the importance of developing interprofessional skills, with collaborative teams, within extension actions, in view of local needs in the context of primary care, thinking about the improved health outcomes. The objective of this work was to present a report of a project-based learning experience of medical students in Family Health Strategy. Students from the Teaching, Service and Community Integration Module of the Faculty of Medicine of Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri participated in this work, executing in collaboration with an interprofessional team a project about men's health. As a result of the qualitative analysis of the feedback among the members, changes in student behavior were observed with improvements in communication, empathy and interpersonal relationships through collaborative work with the interprofessional team. This experience can be adapted to implement teaching and learning in the pedagogical project guided by interprofessional education in primary care.


El aprendizaje basado en proyectos y guiado por los fundamentos de la educación interprofesional es un modelo que puede contribuir a la formación de relaciones interpersonales, creatividad, empatía y colaboración dentro de la educación médica, a través de la colaboración mutua con los profesionales de la salud en la red de salud. Mucho se habla de la efectividad de este método dentro de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje médico, pero es necesario incluir la importancia del desarrollo de habilidades interprofesionales, con equipos colaborativos, dentro de las acciones de extensión, frente a las necesidades locales en el contexto de la atención primaria, pensando sobre los mejores resultados de salud. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un informe de experiencia de aprendizaje basado en proyectos de estudiantes de medicina en la Estrategia de Salud Familiar. Participaron en este trabajo estudiantes del Módulo Integración Enseñanza, Servicio y Comunidad de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri que ejecutaron en colaboración con un equipo interprofesional el proyecto sobre la salud del hombre. Como resultado del análisis cualitativo de la retroalimentación entre los integrantes, se observaron cambios en el comportamiento de los estudiantes con mejoras en la comunicación, la empatía y las relaciones interpersonales a través del trabajo colaborativo con el equipo interprofesional. Esta experiencia puede adaptarse para implementar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en el proyecto pedagógico guiado por la educación interprofesional en atención primaria.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar pontuação da National Early Warning Score (NEWS) em relação ao tipo de desfecho e perfil dos pacientes da enfermaria clínica médica de um hospital em Teresina, Piauí, Brasil. Método: estudo quantitativo realizado num hospital público, em Teresina, com 150 prontuários de pacientes internados no setor clínica médica de fevereiro de 2022 a dezembro de 2022, a partir de registros demográficos, clínicos e valores da escala na admissão e desfecho. Resultados: houve associação dos valores da escala com a faixa etária (p=0,029), tempo de internação (p=0,023) e tipo de desfecho (p < 0,001). Alto risco clínico prevaleceu entre pacientes do sexo masculino (13%), na faixa etária de 60 a 94 anos (13%), com permanência de 21 a 57 dias (19,2%) e óbito como desfecho (100%). Conclusão: implementação da referida escala evidenciou ser fundamental para prever agravos clínicos e melhorar qualidade da assistência.


Objective: to evaluate the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in relation to the type of outcome and profile of patients in the medical clinical ward of a hospital in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Method: a quantitative study conducted in a public hospital in Teresina, with 150 medical records of patients admitted to the medical clinic sector from February 2022 to December 2022, based on demographic and clinical records and scale values at admission and outcome. Results: there was an association between the scale values and the age group (p=0.029), length of stay (p=0.023) and type of outcome (p < 0.001). High clinical risk prevailed among male patients (13%), aged between 60 and 94 years (13%), with a stay of 21 to 57 days (19.2%), and death as an outcome (100%). Conclusion: implementation of the aforementioned scale proved to be fundamental for predicting clinical problems and improving care quality.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Compare the number of puerperal women submitted to blood transfusion before and after the implementation of a care protocol for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with multidisciplinary team training. Methods: Cross-sectional study in a university hospital, analyzing births from 2015 to 2019, compared the use of blood products before and after the adoption of a PPH protocol with multidisciplinary training. Results: Between 2015 and 2019, there were 17,731 births, with 299 (1.7%) postpartum women receiving blood products and 278 postpartum women were considered for this analysis, 128 (0.7%) at Time 1 and 150 (0.8%) at Time 2. After the multiprofessional team training (T2), there was a difference in the complete use of the PPH protocol (use of oxytocin, misoprostol and tranexamic acid) (T1 = 5.1% x T2 = 49.5%, p≤0.0001). An individual categorized analysis revealed that, in the T2 period, there was lower use of blood component units per patient compared to T1 (Mann-Whitney, p=0.006). It should be noted that at T1 and T2, 54% and 24% respectively received two units of blood products. It is important to highlight that after the multidisciplinary team training for the PPH protocol, the goal of zero maternal death due to hemorrhage was reached. Conclusion: The adoption of a specific protocol for PPH, combined with the training of a multidisciplinary team, had an impact on the ability to identify women at high risk of hemorrhage, resulting in a decrease in the use of blood components.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Acute malnutrition in children <5 years of age has a direct relationship with medical complications and mortality. We aimed to describe the etiologic factors in children with moderate and severe non-illness-related acute malnutrition who required hospitalization for treatment of malnutrition in two high-complexity hospital centers in Bogotá, Colombia. METHODS: This is a multicenter case series (December 2016 to December 2020) including patients aged 1-59 months with a weight/height indicator less than -2 SD. Electronic health records were reviewed, and demographic (sex, age, city of origin, and socioeconomic status) and clinical data (gestational age at birth, edema, and nutrition status) were collected. Descriptive analysis of information was performed. An exploratory bivariate analysis by diagnostic categories of moderate and severe acute malnutrition vs days of hospitalization was also performed. RESULTS: Forty-five patients were included, 62.2% of whom were male, with a median age of 14 months (Q1-Q3: 7-24). The main etiologic factors of malnutrition were related to problems with total food intake (33.3%), transition in consistency of feeding (31.1%), and breastfeeding technique (22.2%). Only 13.3% had problems related to food insecurity. There were no statistically significant differences between moderate (median: 7 days; Q1-Q3: 5-12) and severe (median: 8 days; Q1-Q3: 5-16) acute malnutrition when compared by days of hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: The main etiologic factors of malnutrition in our study population were related to problems in the amount of food provided and transition in consistency of complementary feeding.

ABSTRACT

Multidisciplinary care is essential for the management of patients with psoriatic disease (PsD), considering the great range of cutaneous and musculoskeletal symptoms and the potential for associated comorbidities and extraarticular manifestations. Consequently, combined rheumatology/dermatology clinics represent a gold standard model of care for patients with PsD. Many challenges are associated with the establishment of these clinics in routine clinical practice. In this report, we describe the thoughts and debates within a collaborative care breakout session during the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting. The breakout discussion focused around 3 main topics: (1) challenges of dermatologist-rheumatologist collaboration; (2) innovative approaches to encourage collaboration; and (3) how to identify patients with psoriasis at high risk of developing PsA.

ABSTRACT

Nesta Tribuna, os autores discutem as transformações da sociedade e seu impacto na construção dos sistemas de saúde e a comprovada importância da Atenção Primária à Saúde, com a abordagem do processo de saúde-doença de modo singular e articulado ao contexto social por meio do trabalho em equipe interprofissional. A criação dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família, recentemente rebatizados como Núcleos Ampliados de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica, é um bom exemplo da imperiosa importância dessa abordagem interprofissional no âmbito da atenção primária. Contudo, nessa interlocução, também emergem desafios e fragilidades. Esses aspectos são suscitados na reflexão proposta.


In this forum, the authors discuss the transformations in society and their impact on the construction of health systems and the proven importance of Primary Health Care, with a unique approach to the health-disease process that is articulated with the social context through interprofessional teamwork. The creation of Family Health Support Centers, recently renamed Expanded Family Health and Primary Care Centers, is a good example of the imperative importance of this interprofessional approach in the context of primary care. However, in this dialogue, challenges and weaknesses also emerge. These aspects are raised in the proposed reflection.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: las competencias bioéticas permiten abordar colectiva y críticamente, aspectos éticos involucrados en la práctica clínica. Pero, la deliberación ética simultánea de médico/as con enfermero/as, en pacientes no críticos, es inhabitual. Objetivo: constatar la percepción de médico/as y enfermero/as de un hospital de alta complejidad, sobre sus competencias bioéticas y deliberación sincrónica, en hospitalizados pediátricos sin riesgo vital. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal mediante encuesta, a médico/as y enfermero/as del servicio médico-quirúrgico infantil, sobre presencia, modalidad de enseñanza de bioética en pregrado, percepción de tener conocimiento bioético suficiente para aplicarlo clínicamente y si hubo análisis ético-clínico conjunto, en pacientes hospitalizados. Resultados: la mayoría de los encuestados 47/54 (87%) recibió formación teórica obligatoria en bioética durante el pregrado. De ellos, 19/29 (65,5%) médico/as y 11/18 (61,1%) enfermero/as reconocieron que esta formación fue insuficiente para aplicarla en el trabajo. 25/35 (71,4%) médicos, afirmó participar en deliberación ética antes de enviar un caso al comité de ética asistencial, pero esta deliberación ocasionalmente incluyó a enfermero/as ya que, sólo 2/19 (10,5%) de los enfermero/as señalaron intervenir en este tipo de deliberación. Conclusiones: médico/as y enfermero/as que trabajan en pediatría y cirugía infantil, perciben insuficiencias de formación en pregrado en bioética e impericia para aplicar contenidos a la práctica cotidiana. La deliberación ética sobre casos clínicos pediátricos de enfermero/as es esporádica respecto de médico/as en hospitalización médico-quirúrgica básica.


Introduction: Bioethical skills are essential for addressing, both collectively and critically, ethical issues that arise in clinical practice. However, joint ethical deliberation between physicians and nurses with non-critical patients is uncommon Objective: To study the perception of physicians and nurses regarding their bioethical skills in a high-complexity hospital and whether they engage in collective deliberation in units of pediatric inpatients not at vital risk. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted via a survey targeting physicians and nurses in the pediatric medical-surgical service. The survey inquired about the presence and modality of bioethics teaching during undergraduate education, the perception of having sufficient bioethical knowledge for clinical application, and whether joint ethical-clinical analysis was performed regarding hospitalized patients. Results: Most respondents, 47/54 (87%), had received mandatory theoretical training in bioethics during their undergraduate education. 19/29 (65.5%) physicians and 11/18 (61.1%) nurses acknowledged that this training was insufficient for application in their work. A high percentage of physicians, 19/29 (65.5%), claimed to carry out ethical analysis of cases before referring them to the healthcare ethics committee, occasionally including nurses since only 2/18 (11.1%) of the nurses indicated participation in such analysis. Conclusions: Medical and nursing professionals who work in pediatrics and children's surgery perceive insufficiencies in undergraduate training in bioethics issues and an inability to apply content to daily practice. Ethical deliberation on pediatric clinical cases by nurses is sporadic compared to doctors in basic medical-surgical hospitalization.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To reflect on aspects of training, care and management that contribute to supporting families of people with intestinal stomas. Method: A theoretical reflection study based on a substantive theory developed with 12 families of people with ostomies due to intestinal cancer. Results: With the development of the substantive theory, it was possible to give a voice to families of people with ostomies due to intestinal cancer based on what they identify as the need for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary care capable of completing the procedural phases experienced throughout the investigated trajectory. For these care changes to be effective, healthcare professional training must include intestinal ostomy care in their curricula. Also, changes in intersectoral management are updating the Management of Users with Disabilities, investing in infrastructure, mainly in adequate public restrooms. Conclusion: This reflection demonstrates the importance of implementing these changes in training, care and management, which help in planning family-centered care, considering that the family provides home care based on interactions, and helps and empowers their family member to implement self-care for ostomy. (AU)


Objetivo: Reflexionar sobre aspectos de la formación, la asistencia y la gestión que contribuyan al cuidado de las familias de personas con estomía intestinal. Método: Estudio de reflexión teórica basado en una teoría sustantiva desarrollada con 12 familias de personas con estomías por cáncer intestinal. Resultados: Con el desarrollo de la teoría sustantiva se logró dar voz a las familias de personas estomáticas por cáncer intestinal a partir de lo que identifican como la necesidad de una asistencia multidisciplinaria e interdisciplinaria capaz de completar las fases procesuales vividas a lo largo de la trayectoria investigada. Para que estos cambios de atención sean efectivos, la formación de los profesionales de la salud debe incluir el cuidado de las ostomías intestinales en sus planes de estudio. También son necesarios cambios en la gestión intersectorial, como la actualización de la Gestión de Usuarios con Discapacidad e inversiones en infraestructura, principalmente en baños públicos adecuados. Conclusión: Esta reflexión demuestra la importancia de implementar estos cambios en la capacitación, la asistencia y la gestión, que ayuden en la planificación del cuidado centrado en la familia, considerando que la familia brinda cuidados en el hogar a partir de interacciones y ayuda y empodera a su familiar para llevar a cabo el autocuidado de la estomía. (AU)


Objetivo: Refletir sobre aspectos da formação, da assistência e da gestão que contribuam para o cuidado com as famílias de pessoas com estomia intestinal. Método: Estudo de reflexão teórica partindo de uma teoria substantiva desenvolvida com 12 famílias de pessoas com estomia por câncer intestinal. Resultados: Com o desenvolvimento da teoria substantiva, foi possível dar voz às famílias de pessoas com estomia por câncer intestinal com base no que elas identificaram como necessidade de assistência multiprofissional e interdisciplinar capaz de perfazer as fases processuais experienciadas ao longo da trajetória investigada. Para que essas mudanças assistenciais sejam efetivadas, a formação de profissionais da saúde deve instituir nos currículos os cuidados com estomias intestinais, também são necessárias alterações na gestão intersetorial visando atualizar o Gerenciamento dos Usuários com Deficiências e investir em infraestrutura, principalmente banheiros públicos adequados. Conclusão: Esta reflexão demonstra a importância de efetivar essas modificações na formação, na assistência e na gestão, a fim de auxiliar no planejamento de um cuidado centrado na família, tendo em vista que ela presta os cuidados no domicílio, partindo das interações e auxiliando e potencializando seu familiar para efetivar o autocuidado com a estomia.

ABSTRACT

Team climate and attributes of primary healthcare (PHC) are key elements for collaborative practice. Few researchers have explored the relationship between team climate and patients' perceptions of PHC. This study aimed to assess the association between team climate and patients' perceptions of primary healthcare attributes. A quantitative approach was adopted. In Stage 1, Team climate was assessed using Team Climate Inventory in 118 Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams at a PHC setting. In Stage 2, Patients' perceptions of PHC attributes were assessed using the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool) in a sample of 844 patients enrolled in teams studied in Stage 1. Cluster analysis was used to identify team climate groups. The analysis used multilevel linear regression models. Patients assigned to teams with the highest team climate scores had the highest PHC attributes scores. Patients who reported affiliation at the team level had the highest PCATool scores overall. They also scored higher on the attributes of comprehensiveness and coordinated care compared to patients with affiliation to the health unit. In conclusion, patients under the care of FHS teams exhibiting a more favorable team climate had more positive patient perceptions of PHC attributes.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: El síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) es la principal causa de parálisis en niños, y la variante faringo-cérvico-braquial (FCB) es poco común. Esta variante atípica se asocia con secuelas y requiere rehabilitación prolongada. Dado el enfoque predominante durante el tratamiento agudo, este estudio describe la evolución motora, respiratoria y funcional de un niño con SGB, variante FCB, en un centro de neurorrehabilitación durante el período subagudo. Presentación del caso: Un niño de 11 años ingresó con cuadriparesia fláccida y un mayor compromiso en los miembros superiores (MMSS), traqueotomizado y dependiente para las actividades de la vida diaria. Recibió un programa de evaluación y abordaje interdisciplinario intensivo. Logró la decanulación, la marcha y la independencia funcional con adaptaciones, y fue dado de alta luego de 16 semanas. Conclusión: La evolución del caso concuerda con lo reportado en la literatura sobre la presencia de secuelas y los tiempos prolongados de recuperación de la variante FCB. El niño recibió rehabilitación interdisciplinaria intensiva durante 16 semanas y, aún luego de un año, continuaba presentando debilidad a nivel distal de los MMSS y fatiga. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de una intervención temprana y una rehabilitación integral en pacientes pediátricos con esta variante particular del SGB.


ABSTRACT Introduction: The Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is the primary cause of paralysis in children, with the pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant being rare. This atypical form is associated with sequelae and requires prolonged rehabilitation. Given the predominant focus during acute treatment, this study describes the motor, respiratory, and functional clinical course of a child with GBS, PCB variant, in a neurorehabilitation center during the subacute period. Case presentation: An 11-year-old boy was admitted with flaccid quadriparesis and greater involvement of the upper limb (UL), tracheotomized, and dependent for activities of daily living. He underwent an intensive interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment program. The patient achieved decannulation, gait, and functional independence with adaptations, and was discharged after 16 weeks. Conclusion: The clinical course of the case aligns with the literature regarding the presence of sequelae and prolonged recovery times of the PCB variant. The child underwent intensive interdisciplinary rehabilitation for 16 weeks and, even after one year, continued to experience weakness in the distal UL and fatigue. These findings highlight the importance of early intervention and comprehensive rehabilitation in pediatric patients with this particular variant of GBS.

ABSTRACT

Lupus remains a disease with a low prioritisation in the national agendas of many countries in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, where there is a dearth of rheumatologists and limited access to new or even standard lupus treatments. There is thus an important need for education, advocacy, and outreach to prioritise lupus in these regions to ensure that patients receive the care they need. This article reviews some of the specific challenges facing the care and management of people with lupus in these regions and suggests strategies for improving patient outcomes. Specifically, we review and discuss (with a focus on the aforementioned regions) the epidemiology of lupus; economic costs, disease burden, and effects on quality of life; barriers to care related to disease assessment; barriers to effective treatment, including limitations of standard treatments, high glucocorticoid use, inadequate access to new treatments, and low adherence to medications; and strategies to improve lupus management and patient outcomes. We hope that this represents a call to action to come together and act now for the lupus community, policymakers, health authorities, and healthcare professionals to improve lupus management and patient outcomes in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Hospitalization often causes mobility difficulties and hinders daily activities. Progressive mobilization of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) is safe and linked to better clinical and functional outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To assess the perception of a multidisciplinary team in the ICUs of a university hospital regarding early mobilization (EM). METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted using data collected from professionals and students in the ICU of Clementino Fraga Filho University Hospital at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro between June and December 2019. Data on EM perception were collected using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact tests were used to analyze the differences between the professional categories. RESULTS: In comparison to physiotherapists (88%), a smaller percentage of physicians (37.5%) and nurses (50%) reported that patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) are mobilized within 48 hours (P80%), with the main perceived barriers being the availability of professionals (58%), the clinical condition of patients (55%), and patients undergoing procedures (45%). CONCLUSION: In a university hospital without an established EM protocol, the multidisciplinary team showed satisfactory knowledge and perceptions of EM. However, creating institutional protocols and guidelines is essential to engage multidisciplinary teams in implementing EM and overcoming barriers.


INTRODUÇÃO: A hospitalização frequentemente causa dificuldades de mobilidade e compromete as atividades da vida diária. A mobilização progressiva de pacientes em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTI) é segura e está associada a melhores resultados clínicos e funcionais. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a percepção da equipe multiprofissional das UTIs de um hospital universitário quanto à mobilização precoce (MP). MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo e observacional com dados coletados de profissionais e estudantes da UTI do Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro entre junho e dezembro de 2019. Os dados sobre a percepção da MP foram coletados por meio de questionário. A estatística descritiva e o teste exato de Fisher foram utilizados para analisar as diferenças entre categorias profissionais. RESULTADOS: Em comparação aos fisioterapeutas (88%), um percentual menor de médicos (37,5%) e enfermeiros (50%) relataram que os pacientes em ventilação mecânica (VM) são mobilizados em 48 horas (P80%), sendo as principais barreiras percebidas a indisponibilidade de profissionais (58%), a condição clínica (55%) e pacientes submetidos a procedimentos (45%). CONCLUSÃO: Em um hospital universitário sem protocolo de MP estabelecido, a equipe multidisciplinar apresenta percepção satisfatória sobre a MP. Contudo, a criação de protocolos e diretrizes institucionais é essencial para engajar a equipe na implementação da MP e na superação de barreiras.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To synthesise scientific evidence on interprofessional practice in hospital care and the effects on nursing workload. METHODS: Systematic mixed method review, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021225627) and conducted in the following databases: CINAHL, Medline, Web of Science and Scopus, with no restrictions on the publication period of the studies. Primary studies were recruited on nurses' interprofessional practice (actions and interactions with other professional categories) in hospitals and the effects on one or more dimensions of nursing workload (quantitative, qualitative, physical, cognitive, emotional, time and variation). Scientific articles available in open access, in English, Spanish or Portuguese, were included. The searches were carried out in January 2021. The studies were evaluated by pairs of independent researchers to verify methodological quality, through the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool, and data extraction. To summarise the studies, thematic analysis was adopted. RESULTS: A total of 1774 publications were assessed for eligibility and 17 studies were included. Of these, two were mixed methods, four were qualitative, and 11 were quantitative, published between 2011 and 2020. The main scenarios investigated were Intensive Care Units and/or Inpatient Units. During data analysis, three thematic categories emerged: Interprofessional practice in coping with emotional overload; Time dedicated by nurses to professional communication; and Working conditions and patient care. The third category consisted of three subthemes: Conflict and flexibility in the context of practice; Working conditions and interprofessional practice; and Effects on patient care. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence points to the emotional overload of nurses in the face of uncooperative practices. Interprofessional actions, especially communicative ones, demand nurses' time and impact the care provided. The results contribute to political decisions and health work management.

ABSTRACT

Neurocutaneous syndromes comprise a heterogeneous group of congenital or hereditary conditions that are known to be associated with the risk of different disorders and complications. Two of the most common neurocutaneous syndromes are Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Although there appears to be a general consensus on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing these cases, there is still very little emphasis in discussions addressed in the literature on the role of dentistry in accordance with the perspective of comprehensive care. Evidence-based propositions, together with a broad discussion of new insights in this regard, should have the ability to strongly impact related future perspectives, aiming for greater advances and better outcomes for these patients. In this review article, the authors discuss updated general aspects of NF1 and TSC, and the potential additional roles of dentistry, in addition to addressing suggestions for actions in dentistry at related levels of care, as well as priorities for future research.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El sueño garantiza el bienestar físico y mental del individuo mediante retroalimentación directa. Los trastornos del sueño implican alteraciones respecto a calidad y cantidad de horas de sueño y obedecen a una alteración real de su función fisiológica que controla y opera durante el mismo. La Medicina del Sueño es una especialidad nueva, surgida en los últimos 50 años, cuyo campo de acción aborda la prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento de los trastornos del sueño; los cuales hasta el momento se han identificado alrededor del centenar. Esta enfermedad se ha convertido en problema social crucial y creciente, difícil de abordar en la práctica médica contemporánea; debido a la complejidad en la toma de decisiones respecto a su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Esta temática requiere ser evaluada desde un enfoque interdisciplinario para reducir la morbimortalidad asociada a manifestaciones neurológicas, psicológicas, psiquiátricas, cardiovasculares y endocrinometabólicas. Objetivo: Establecer la propuesta de Consulta Interdisciplinaria de Medicina del Sueño en la provincia Camagüey. Métodos: Se efectuó una investigación cualitativa de tipo descriptivo para la selección de aspectos pertinentes a una consulta especializada proveedora de pacientes pediátricos con trastornos del sueño, en el período comprendido entre julio y diciembre de 2022, en el Centro de Inmunología y Productos Biológicos de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Camagüey. El universo del grupo de trabajo estuvo integrado por ocho profesionales de las Ciencias Médicas. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos como la revisión documental, histórico-lógico, análisis y síntesis, inducción-deducción, métodos matemáticos-estadísticos y métodos computacionales. Resultados: Se conformó un algoritmo de trabajo para la atención médica, que desarrolló el ordenamiento de los elementos sustantivos propios de la analítica polisomnográfica en el contexto cubano. Logró unificar criterios y opiniones generales de manera consensuada por equipos interdisciplinarios. Conclusiones: Resulta definido el documento científico rector de la Consulta Interdisciplinaria de Medicina del Sueño en Camagüey.


Introduction: Sleep guarantees the physical and mental well-being of the individual through direct feedback. Sleep disorders involve alterations in the quality and quantity of hours of sleep and are due to a real alteration in the physiological function that controls and operates during sleep. Sleep Medicine is a new specialty, emerged in the last 50 years, whose field of action addresses the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders; of which around a hundred have been identified so far. This kind of disorders has become a crucial and growing social problem, difficult to address in contemporary medical practice; due to the complexity in decision-making regarding diagnosis and treatment. This topic requires being evaluated from an interdisciplinary approach to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with neurological, psychological, psychiatric, cardiovascular and endocrine-metabolic manifestations. Objective: To establish the proposal of Interdisciplinary Consultation of Sleep Medicine in the province Camagüey. Methods: A qualitative descriptive research was carried out to select aspects relevant to a specialized consultation providing pediatric patients with sleep disorders, in the period between July and December 2022, at the Center for Immunology and Biological Products of the University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey. The universe of the working group was made up of eight professionals from the Medical Sciences. Theoretical methods such as documentary review, historical-logical, analysis and synthesis, induction-deduction, mathematical-statistical methods and computational methods were used. Results: A work algorithm for medical care was formed, which developed the ordering of the substantive elements of polysomnographic analysis in the Cuban context. It manages to unify general criteria and opinions in a consensus by interdisciplinary teams. Conclusions: The governing scientific document of the Interdisciplinary Consultation of Sleep Medicine in Camagüey is defined.
