ABSTRACT

Os objetivos deste estudo são: relatar a experiência do desenvolvimento das atividades de sensibilização dos trabalhadores relacionadas à promoção da saúde no ambiente laboral e à humanização no trabalho realizadas em dois serviços de saúde de um município do estado de Minas Gerais e avaliar junto à equipe a realização dessas atividades. As atividades de alongamento, massagens, escalda-pés, dinâmica de grupo e oficina da beleza foram realizadas na atenção primária e secundária. Utilizou-se um questionário e as respostas foram apresentadas por estatística simples. Os trabalhadores avaliaram as atividades como "excelentes"; referiram melhorar o dia de trabalho; sentiram-se valorizados e mais dispostos para o trabalho, além de solicitarem a continuidade de ações de promoção da saúde e humanização no trabalho. Por mais simples que sejam, essas atividades proporcionaram momentos de reflexões e a pausa laboral, tendo em vista a saúde do trabalhador e melhor qualidade de vida no trabalho.


The objectives of this study are: to report the experience of developing awareness activities for workers related to health promotion and humanization at work, carried out in two health services in a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais; and assess with the team these activities. Stretching activities, group dynamics, massages, foot baths, beauty workshop and health promotion were carried out in primary and secondary care. A questionnaire was used and the answers were presented by simple statistics. The workers rated the activities as "excellent"; reported improving their working day; they felt valued and more willing to work, in addition to requesting the continuity of actions to promote health and humanization at work. As simple as they are, these activities provided moments of reflection and a break from work, with a view to the worker's health and better quality of life at work.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a percepção dos alunos do Ensino Médio em relação às lutas enquanto unidade temática nas aulas de Educação Física. Para tanto, a pesquisa se caracterizou como de natureza aplicada, do tipo descritiva, com a participação de 17 alunos do Ensino Médio. A pesquisa foi realizada em dois momentos, sendo o primeiro referente ao desenvolvimento de uma intervenção pedagógica do conteúdo de lutas, e o segundo a partir da aplicação de um questionário. Os resultados apontaram que 82% dos participantes usufruíram de uma prática positiva e prazerosa e 94% dos participantes afirmaram ausência de violência. Assim, compreende-se que as lutas na escola se configuram como um mediador na transformação das apreciações de concepções pelos participantes (AU).


The aim of the study was to analyze the perception of high school students in relation to martial arts as a content in Physical Education classes. Therefore, the research was characterized as being of an applied nature, of the descriptive type, with the participation of 17 high school students. The research was carried out in two moments, the first one referring to the development of a pedagogical intervention on the content of martial arts, and the second one based on the application of a questionnaire. The results showed that 82% of the participants en-joyed a positive and pleasant practice and 94% of the participants stated that there was no violence in the classes. Thus, it is understood that the development of martial arts at school was configured as a mediator in the transformation of the appreciation of conceptions by the participants (AU).

ABSTRACT

El aislamiento social y el confinamiento forzado debido a la pandemia tuvo graves efectos en la salud mental de los estudiantes, que se manifestó cómo ansiedad y estrés. Objetivo. La investigación tuvo como propósito analizar los niveles de ansiedad en estudiantes de secundaria. Metodología. La búsqueda de información se realizó en las bases de datos Scopus y Ebsco, utilizando las ecuaciones: "Anxiety AND High school students", "Trait Anxiety AND High school students", "State anxiety AND High school students"; la información recabada se almacenó en la bandeja de Mendeley; dicha información fue analizada por títulos, resumen, palabras clave, resultados y conclusiones. El análisis de la información encriptada en Mendeley contó con 35 artículos, de los cuales 30 fueron cuantitativos y 5 cualitativos; además, el análisis por países demostró que las investigaciones sobre este tópico se realizaron con mayor énfasis en Brasil (6), en España (4) y en EE.UU. (4). El análisis de los aportes evidenció que la carencia de aparatos tecnológicos y el cambio de una educación presencial a otra virtual tuvo consecuencias inusuales de estrés y ansiedad en estudiantes y docentes. Además, se observó incremento en la agresividad, problemas en la salud mental, insomnio, pérdida del apetito entre otros. Conclusión. El confinamiento social y los cambios abruptos en la educación generaron en los agentes educativos trastornos en la salud mental y emocional.


Social isolation and forced confinement due to the pandemic had serious effects on students' mental health, which manifested as anxiety and stress. Objective. The purpose of the research was to analyze the levels of anxiety in high school students. Methodology: The information search was carried out in the Scopus and Ebsco databases, using the equations: "Anxiety AND High School Students", "Trait Anxiety AND High School Students", "State Anxiety AND High School Students"; the information collected was stored in the Mendeley tray; Said information was analyzed by titles, abstract, keywords, results and conclusions. The analysis of the encrypted information in Mendeley included 35 articles, of which 30 were quantitative and 5 qualitative; In addition, the analysis by countries disappeared because the research on this topic was carried out with greater emphasis in Brazil (6), in Spain (4) and in the US (4). The analysis of the contributions shows that the lack of technological devices and the change from face-to-face education to a virtual one had unusual consequences of stress and anxiety in students and teachers. In addition, an increase in aggressiveness, mental health problems, insomnia, loss of appetite, among others, was demonstrated. Conclusion: Social confinement and abrupt changes in education generate mental and emotional health disorders in educational agents.

ABSTRACT

Syphilis -the "great simulator" for classical venereologists-is re-emerging in Western countries despite adequate treatment; several contributing factors have been identified, including changes in sexual behaviour, which won't be the topic of this article though. In 2021, a total of 6613 new cases of syphilis were reported in Spain, representing an incidence of 13.9×100 000 inhabitants (90.5%, men). Rates have increased progressively since 2000. The clinical presentation of syphilis is heterogeneous. Although chancroid, syphilitic roseola and syphilitic nails are typical lesions, other forms of the disease can be present such as non-ulcerative primary lesions like Follmann balanitis, chancres in the oral cavity, patchy secondary lingual lesions, or enanthema on the palate and uvula, among many others. Regarding diagnosis, molecular assays such as PCR have been replacing dark-field microscopy in ulcerative lesions while automated treponemal tests (EIA, CLIA) are being used in serological tests, along with classical tests (such as RPR and HAART) for confirmation and follow-up purposes. The interpretation of these tests should be assessed in the epidemiological and clinical context of the patient. HIV serology and STI screening should be requested for anyone with syphilis. Follow-up of patients under treatment is important to ensure healing and detect reinfection. Serological response to treatment should be assessed with the same non-treponemal test (RPR/VDRL); 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up is a common practice in people living with HIV (PLHIV). Sexual contacts should be assessed and treated as appropriate. Screening is advised for pregnant women within the first trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant women with an abortion after week 20 should all be tested for syphilis. The treatment of choice for all forms of syphilis, including pregnant women and PLHIV, is penicillin. Macrolides are ill-advised because of potential resistance.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) compared to the standard of care for secondary prevention of fragility fractures form the perspective of the Catalan Health Service. METHODS: Cost-utility assessment through a Markov model that simulated disease progression of a patients' cohort candidates to initiate antiosteoporotic treatment after a fragility fracture. A time horizon of 10 years and a 6-month duration per cycle was established. Clinical, economics and quality of life parameters were obtained from the literature and derived from four Catalan FLS. The Catalan Health Service perspective was adopted, considering direct health costs expressed in 2022 euros. A 3% discount rate was applied on costs and outcomes. Uncertainty was assessed through multiple sensitivity analyses. RESULTS: Compared to the standard of care, FLS would promote antiosteoporotic initiation and persistence, reducing the incidence and mortality associated with subsequent fragility fractures. This incremental clinical benefit was estimated at 0.055 years and 0.112 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) per patient. A higher cost (€1,073.79 per patient) was estimated, resulting into an incremental cost-utility ratio of €9,602.72 per QALYs gained. The sensitivity analyses performed were consistent, corroborating the robustness and conservative approach of the base-case. CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of FLS for the secondary prevention of FF would represent a cost-effective strategy from the Catalan Health Service perspective.

ABSTRACT

La rinoplastia es una de las intervenciones más comunes en cirugía plástica. Se opera aquí una rinoplastia secundaria por vía abierta injertando los alares y la punta con cartílagos auriculares, mientras el tabique cartilaginoso fue usado para los spreader grafts. Se describe aquí una infección posoperatoria de su punta nasal. Al 9no día de su posoperatorio comienza con la punta nasal congestiva y levemente inflamada. Se medica con una crema con antibióticos, pero el día 14 aparece con la punta nasal muy inflamada y con colección. Cuando en el consultorio el cirujano la ve, como cualquier absceso, decide realizarle drenaje con un trocar 18G, 3 miniincisiones en la piel debajo de la punta nasal, de la que drena un líquido amarronado. Luego con el mismo trocar se realiza un lavado dentro de la cavidad con rifampicina solución. Se medica con trimetoprima-sulfametoxazol (Bactrimforte®) 2 comp/día. Al otro día se observa una notable mejoría. Se continuó con lavado diario durante 4 días con el mismo antibiótico evolucionando rápidamente bien. El Bactrim se lo continúa por 20 días. Al mes la punta nasal está muy bien, deshinchada con cicatrices apenas visibles. A los cuatro meses, la punta está muy blanda, las alas nasales y las narinas normales, la punta con buena proyección igual que el dorso con los spreader graft.


Rhinoplasty is one of the most common interventions in plastic surgery. A secondary open rhinoplasty was carried out grafting the allae and the tip of the nose with conchae cartilage, while the septum was used for spreader grafts. We are here describing this post operatory with a tip of the nose infection.In the control, at the 9th postoperative day, the nasal tip began to be congested and at the 14th post op day the patient showed a clear inflammatory collection. In the office, the surgeon decided to evacuate it with three punctureslike little incisions at the inferior part of the skin tip with a trocar 18G. Through them, drained brownish purulent secretion. With the same trocar, rifampicin solution was injected through these little incisions, like washing the subdermal area. It was medicated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim forte®) 2 tablets/day. The following day, there was a clear improvement in the congestion and erythema of the nose. This procedure of washing was repeated for four days. There was a quick evolution of the inflammatory process and 20 more days, there was no sign of the infection. Four months later, the tip of the nose was soft and the result was considered optimal by the patient and doctors.

ABSTRACT

El hiperaldosteronismo primario (HAP) es una causa importante de hipertensión arterial (HTA) secundaria. El estudio del mismo precisa de una alta sospecha clínica, además de un estudio hormonal que confirme la hipersecreción hormonal. Es importante iniciar el tratamiento adecuado una vez se confirma el diagnóstico, y para ello es preciso demostrar si la hipersecreción hormonal es unilateral (pacientes que podrían ser tributarios a tratamiento quirúrgico) o bilateral (pacientes que son tributarios a tratamiento únicamente farmacológico). En el Hospital del Mar desde el año 2016 existe un equipo de trabajo multidisciplinar en el que participan nefrólogos, endocrinólogos, radiólogos y cirujanos para evaluar los casos con sospecha de hiperaldosteronismo y consensuar el mejor abordaje diagnóstico-terapéutico de estos pacientes, incluyendo la necesidad de cateterismo venoso adrenal, que es una técnica que en los últimos años se ha erigido como gold standard para el estudio del HAP. En el presente estudio recogemos la experiencia de nuestro centro en la realización de cateterismo venoso adrenal y en la utilidad de este para el manejo de tales pacientes (AU)


Primary hyperaldosteronism (PAH) is an important cause of secondary hypertension (HTN). The study of the same requires a high clinical suspicion in addition to a hormonal study that confirms hormonal hypersecretion. It is important to start the appropriate treatment once the diagnosis is confirmed, and for this is necessary to demonstrate whether the hormonal hypersecretion is unilateral (patients who could be candidates for surgical treatment) or bilateral (patients who are candidates for pharmacological treatment only). At the Hospital del Mar since 2016 there has been a multidisciplinary work team in which Nephrologists, Endocrinologists, Radiologists and Surgeons participate to evaluate cases with suspected hyperaldosteronism and agree on the best diagnostic-therapeutic approach for these patients, including the need for adrenal vein sampling, which is a technique that in recent years has become the gold standard for the study of PAH. In the present study we collect the experience of our center in performing adrenal vein catheterization and its usefulness for the management of these patients (AU)

ABSTRACT

Background and objective: IgG replacement therapy (IgG-RT) has radically changed the clinical evolution of primary immunodeficiencies, yet the information regarding secondary hypogammaglobulinemia (SHG) is insufficient or conflicting. We aim to describe clinical features, evolution and treatment of SHG patients in our center. Methods: Dynamic retrospective cohort between January 2001 and July 2021 of adults with gamma globulin fraction <0.6g/dL in a serum protein electrophoresis and a coincident decrease of IgG levels – with a disease-related SHG or treatment that reduces serum immunoglobulins. Results: We included 1012 patients with SHG with a median follow-up of 5 years (IQR 2–8). Hematological diseases were identified in 95% of the patients and 61% received drugs related to SHG. Sixty five percent had more than one etiological factor associated with SHG. Infectious diseases were present in 69% of the patients, 48% had respiratory infections and 17% had severe infections. There was statistical association between respiratory and severe infections with multiple myeloma (MM), lymphoma and rituximab. MGUS had less infections and death compared with other etiologies. IgG-RT was indicated in 18.7% of the patients and 4.6% received it for more than 6 months with variable intervals. Among the latter group, there was a significant reduction of all-type infections and respiratory infections with IgG-RT (p<0.001), and it was consistent with similar findings in lymphoma, MM and all IgG levels subgroups. Conclusion: SHG was associated with more than one etiological factor and a high frequency of infections. IgG-RT indication was irregular yet still effective. It is relevant to consider IgG levels screening, monitoring and accurate indication of IgG-RT.(AU)


Antecedentes y objetivos: La IgG sustitutiva ha cambiado radicalmente la evolución de las inmunodeficiencias primarias, mientras que la información sobre hipogammaglobulinemia secundaria (HGS) es insuficiente y discordante. El objetivo del estudio es describir las características clínicas, evolución y tratamiento de pacientes con HGS. Métodos: Cohorte retrospectiva dinámica entre enero de 2001 y julio de 2021 de adultos con proteinograma y fracción de gammaglobulina <0,6g/dL y dosaje disminuido de IgG, con enfermedad o tratamiento que produzcan HGS. Resultados: Se incluyó a 1.012 pacientes con HGS con una mediana de seguimiento de 5 años (IIC 2-8). El 95% tenía enfermedad hematológica y el 61% recibió fármacos asociados a HGS. El 65% tenía más de un factor etiológico asociado con HGS. El 69% presentó infecciones de cualquier tipo, el 48% infecciones respiratorias y el 17%, infecciones graves. Hubo asociación significativa entre infecciones respiratorias y graves entre los subgrupos de mieloma múltiple, linfoma y rituximab. Los pacientes con MGUS tuvieron menor frecuencia de infecciones y muerte comparados con otros factores etiológicos. El 18,7% de los pacientes recibió IgG sustitutiva y el 4,6% de forma crónica, con intervalos variables. Los últimos tuvieron disminución significativa de infecciones de cualquier tipo e infecciones respiratorias con IgG sustitutiva (p<0,001), que se mantuvo en los subgrupos con mieloma múltiple, linfoma y todos los niveles de IgG. Conclusión: La HGS asoció más de un factor etiológico y alta frecuencia de infecciones. La indicación de IgG sustitutiva fue irregular, pero, aún así, efectiva. Se plantea considerar el dosaje de inmunoglobulinas, monitoreo y la adecuada indicación de IgG sustitutiva.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento: As diretrizes da Sociedade Europeia de Cardiologia recomendam um nível de colesterol LDL (LDL-C) < 55 mg/dL para pacientes com doença cardiovascular estabelecida. Embora a fórmula de Friedewald ainda seja amplamente utilizada para estimar o LDL-C, a fórmula mais recente de Martin-Hopkins mostrou maior precisão. Objetivos: Nosso objetivo foi avaliar: A) a proporção de pacientes que atingiram a meta de LDL-C e as terapias utilizadas em um centro terciário; B) o impacto da utilização do método de Martin-Hopkins em vez do método de Friedewald na proporção de pacientes controlados. Métodos: Estudo transversal monocêntrico, incluindo pacientes consecutivos pós-infarto do miocárdio, acompanhados por 20 cardiologistas, em um hospital terciário. Os dados foram coletados retrospectivamente de consultas clínicas realizadas após abril de 2022. Para cada paciente, os níveis de LDL-C e o atingimento das metas foram estimados a partir de um perfil lipídico ambulatorial, utilizando as fórmulas de Friedewald e Martin-Hopkins. Um valor-p bicaudal < 0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significativo para todos os testes. Resultados: Foram incluídos 400 pacientes (com 67 ± 13 anos, 77% do sexo masculino). Utilizando a fórmula de Friedewald, a mediana de LDL-C sob terapia foi de 64 (50-81) mg/dL, e 31% tinham LDL-C dentro da meta. Estatinas de alta intensidade foram usadas em 64% dos pacientes, 37% estavam em uso de ezetimiba e 0,5% estavam em uso de inibidores de PCSK9. A terapia combinada de estatina de alta intensidade + ezetimiba foi utilizada em 102 pacientes (26%). A aplicação do método de Martin-Hopkins reclassificaria um total de 31 pacientes (7,8%). Entre aqueles considerados controlados pela fórmula de Friedewald, 27 (21,6%) teriam LDL-C estimado por Martin-Hopkins acima da meta. Conclusões: Menos de um terço dos pacientes pós-infarto do miocárdio apresentaram LDL-C dentro da meta. A aplicação da fórmula de Martin-Hopkins reclassificaria um quinto dos pacientes presumivelmente controlados no grupo de pacientes não controlados.


Abstract Background: The European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend an LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) < 55 mg/dL for patients with established cardiovascular disease. While the Friedewald equation to estimate LDL-C is still widely used, the newer Martin-Hopkins equation has shown greater accuracy. Objectives: We aimed to assess: A) the proportion of patients reaching LDL-C goal and the therapies used in a tertiary center; B) the impact of using the Martin-Hopkins method instead of Friedewald's on the proportion of controlled patients. Methods: A single-center cross-sectional study including consecutive post-myocardial infarction patients followed by 20 cardiologists in a tertiary hospital. Data was collected retrospectively from clinical appointments that took place after April 2022. For each patient, the LDL-C levels and attainment of goals were estimated from an ambulatory lipid profile using both Friedewald and Martin-Hopkins equations. A two-tailed p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all tests. Results: Overall, 400 patients were included (aged 67 ± 13 years, 77% male). Using Friedewald's equation, the median LDL-C under therapy was 64 (50-81) mg/dL, and 31% had LDL-C within goals. High-intensity statins were used in 64% of patients, 37% were on ezetimibe, and 0.5% were under PCSK9 inhibitors. Combination therapy of high-intensity statin + ezetimibe was used in 102 patients (26%). Applying the Martin-Hopkins method would reclassify a total of 31 patients (7.8%). Among those deemed controlled by Friedewald's equation, 27 (21.6%) would have a Martin-Hopkins' LDL-C above goals. Conclusions: Less than one-third of post-myocardial infarction patients had LDL-C within the goal. Applying the Martin-Hopkins equation would reclassify one-fifth of presumably controlled patients into the non-controlled group.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Developmental dysplasia of the hip is the cause of approximately one third of secondary coxarthrosis. Anatomy alterations make it difficult to place a total hip prosthesis in its anatomical position and for it to be stable in the long term; there are several techniques to achieve this goal. In the present work, we used autograft of the femoral head (shelf graft or reinforced roof), to improve the coverage of the acetabular component with favourable results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen cases were included in 14 patients with a diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (13 women and one man), the mean age was 44.3 years (range 35-68 years), with a mean follow-up of 7 years (range 1-15 years). All the cases were evaluated clinically and radiographically, to demonstrate the osseointegration of the graft and the functional results in the medium term. RESULTS: All the acetabular components were placed in anatomical position (Ranawat technique), the mean percentage of host bone coverage was 54.53% (range 43.28-79.05%), obtaining additional coverage with the bone graft of 45.13%. Osseointegration of the graft of 100% at 12 weeks, resorption of the graft from the sixth month, stabilising in the third postoperative year. Only one case of dislocation is reported, no cases of infection, loosening, heterotopic ossification or revision. CONCLUSION: This procedure has shown good functional results in the medium term with 100% osseointegration, despite cases of severe bone resorption of the graft that does not compromise the stability of the prosthesis.

ABSTRACT

O estudo objetivou analisar o modo como os atos de currículo da Educação Física legitimam as práticas corporais no âmbito de 3 escolas de Ensino Médio de Simão Dias (SE) e as identidades projetadas. Para tanto, os respectivos projetos político-pedagógicos e planos de ensino do componente foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Notamos que as limitações dos espaços físicos condicionam a vivência de práticas corporais legitimadas na escola. Percebemos forte influência dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Fundamental na organização do trabalho pedagógico e a vivência exaustiva dos esportes euro-estadunidenses. Fatores que parecem contribuir para a legitimação de determinadas práticas corporais em detrimento de outras tantas. O que também pode impactar nas identidades culturais e a forma com que os estudantes se relacionam com as diferentes manifestações.


The study aimed to analyze the way in which Physical Education curriculum acts legitimize bodily practices within 3 high schools in Simão Dias (SE) and the projected identities. To this end, the respective political-pedagogical projects and teaching plans for the component were subjected to content analysis. We note that the limitations of physical spaces condition the experience of legitimized bodily practices at school. We noticed a strong influence of the National Curricular Parameters for Elementary Education in the organization of pedagogical work and the exhaustive experience of Euro-American sports. Factors that seem to contribute to the legitimization of certain bodily practices to the detriment of many others. This can also impact cultural identities and the way students relate to different manifestations.


El estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la forma en que los actos curriculares de Educación Física legitiman las prácticas corporales en 3 escuelas secundarias de Simão Dias (SE) y las identidades proyectadas. Para ello, se sometieron a análisis de contenido los respectivos proyectos político- pedagógicos y planes docentes del componente. Observamos que las limitaciones de los espacios físicos condicionan la experiencia de prácticas corporales legitimadas en la escuela. Notamos una fuerte influencia de los Parámetros Curriculares Nacionales para la Educación Primaria en la organización del trabajo pedagógico y la experiencia exhaustiva del deporte euroamericano. Factores que parecen contribuir a la legitimación de determinadas prácticas corporales en detrimento de muchas otras. Esto también puede afectar las identidades culturales y la forma en que los estudiantes se relacionan con las diferentes manifestaciones.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El COVID-19 ha afectado la salud mental de la población pediátrica. Con la transición a la virtualidad, se han identificado posturas positivas y negativas. Debido a la diferencia de características sociodemográficas que posee la República Dominicana, es necesario describir el efecto de dichos cambios en la salud mental dentro de este contexto. Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de las clases virtuales en la salud mental de los pacientes pediátricos. Metodología: Se utilizó el cuestionario de capacidades y dificultades en los pacientes que asistieron a consulta general. Se asignó una puntuación con la escala de puntuación estandarizada y se analizaron los resultados en gráficos de frecuencia y pruebas de correlación de spearman. Resultados: Existe una frecuencia del 10,4% (n=34) de alto riesgo de desarrollar algún trastorno psiquiátrico. Se observaron correlaciones débiles entre menor edad y trastorno de conducta, r(365) = -0,111, p = 0,034, y sexo masculino y cualquier trastorno pediátrico, r(365) = -0,131, p = 0,012. Hay una incidencia de 51,5% de síntomas físicos. Un 45.5% y un 30.2% identificó mejores e iguales calificaciones. Conclusión: Es necesario investigar los efectos identificados agregando la evaluación de especialistas para mayor precisión de los hallazgos observados.


Introduction: COVID-19 has affected the mental health of the pediatric population. With the transition to virtuality, positive and negative positions have been identified. Due to the difference in sociodemographic characteristics that the Dominican Republic has, it is necessary to describe the effect of these changes on mental health within this context. Objective: To assess the effect of virtual classes on the mental health of pediatric patients. Methodology: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used in the patients who attended the general consultation. A score was assigned using the standardized scoring scale and the results were analyzed in frequency plots and spearman correlation tests. Results: There is a frequency of 10.4% (n=34) of high risk of developing some psychiatric disorder. Weak correlations were observed between younger age and conduct disorder, r(365) = -0.111, p = 0.034, and male gender and any pediatric disorder, r(365) = -0.131, p = 0.012. There is a 51.5% incidence of physical symptoms. 45.5% and 30.2% identified better and equal qualifications. Conclusion: It is necessary to investigate the effects identified adding the evaluation of specialists for greater precision of the observed findings.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever a produção dos atendimentos oferecidos aos pacientes com necessidades especiais nos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO) da Paraíba (Brasil) e sua relação com o cumprimento das metas de produtividade, entre o período de 2019 e 2022. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e ecológico em que foram coletados dados secundários do Sistema de Informações Ambulatoriais do SUS (SIA/SUS), através da captação da produção ambulatorial individualizada (BPA-I), por meio da ferramenta TabWin, dos 98 CEO operantes na Paraíba. Realizou-se análise descritiva e analítica, por meio dos testes Qui-Quadrado de Pearson e Exato de Fisher entre a variável dependente "alcance da meta" e a variável independente "adesão à Rede de Cuidados à Pessoa com Deficiência (RCPD)". Em todos os anos, a porcentagem de CEO cumpridores da meta (15,3% em 2019; 1% em 2020; 12,2% em 2021; e 11,2% em 2022) foi substancialmente menor que os números expressados por aqueles que não alcançaram a produção mínima. Os resultados também apontaram maior realização de procedimentos restauradores (29,6% em 2019; 28,6% em 2020; 32,7% em 2021; e 37,8% em 2022) em detrimento aos periodontais, cirúrgicos e preventivos. No que concerne a estar aderido à RCPD, no ano de 2022, 90,9% dos CEO que alcançaram a meta estavam aderidos à Rede (p<0,05). Concluiu-se que uma baixa frequência de CEO alcançou o cumprimento da meta de produtividade da especialidade de Odontologia para Pacientes com Necessidades Especiais nos CEO. No entanto, a adesão à RCPD manifestou-se como elemento influenciador para aqueles que cumpriram suas metas mensais e anuais.


The objective of this study was to describe the production of care provided to special needs patients in the Dental Specialties Centers (CEO) of Paraíba (Brazil) and its relationship with the achievement of productivity goals, between the period 2019 and 2022. This is a descriptive and ecological study in which secondary data were collected from the SUS Outpatient Information System (SIA/SUS), by capturing the individualized outpatient production (BPA-I), through the TabWin tool, of the 98 operating CEOs in Paraíba. We carried out descriptive and analytical analysis, using Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests between the dependent variable "goal attainment" and the independent variable "adherence to the Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPD)". In all years, the percentage of CEOs meeting the goal (15.3% in 2019; 1% in 2020; 12.2% in 2021; and 11.2% in 2022) was substantially lower than the numbers expressed by those who did not meet the minimum output. The results also indicated greater performance of restorative procedures (29.6% in 2019; 28.6% in 2020; 32.7% in 2021; and 37.8% in 2022) to the detriment of periodontal, surgical, and preventive procedures. Regarding being adhered to the RCPD, in the year 2022, 90.9% of the CEOs who reached the goal were adhered to the Network (p<0.05). It was concluded that a low frequency of CEOs achieved compliance with the productivity target of the specialty of Dentistry for Special Needs Patients in CEOs. However, adherence to the RCPD manifested itself as an influential element for those who met their monthly and annual goals.


El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la producción de la atención prestada a pacientes con necesidades especiales en los Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO) de Paraíba (Brasil) y su relación con el alcance de las metas de productividad, entre el período de 2019 y 2022. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo y ecológico en el que se recogieron datos secundarios del Sistema de Información Ambulatoria del SUS (SIA/SUS), mediante la captura de la producción ambulatoria individualizada (BPA-I), a través de la herramienta TabWin, de los 98 CEOs en funcionamiento en Paraíba. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y analíticos, utilizando las pruebas Chi-cuadrado de Pearson y Exacta de Fisher entre la variable dependiente "cumplimiento de metas" y la variable independiente "adhesión a la Red de Atención a Personas con Discapacidad (RCPD)". En todos los años, el porcentaje de directores generales que cumplieron el objetivo (15,3% en 2019; 1% en 2020; 12,2% en 2021; y 11,2% en 2022) fue sustancialmente inferior a las cifras expresadas por los que no alcanzaron el rendimiento mínimo. Los resultados también indicaron una mayor realización de procedimientos restauradores (29,6% en 2019; 28,6% en 2020; 32,7% en 2021; y 37,8% en 2022) en detrimento de los procedimientos periodontales, quirúrgicos y preventivos. Respecto a estar adherido a la RCPD, en el año 2022, el 90,9% de los CEOs que alcanzaron el objetivo estaban adheridos a la Red (p<0,05). Se concluyó que una baja frecuencia de CEOs alcanzó el cumplimiento de la meta de productividad de la especialidad de Odontología para Pacientes con Necesidades Especiales en CEOs. Sin embargo, la adhesión al RCPD se manifestó como un elemento influyente para aquellos que cumplieron sus objetivos mensuales y anuales.

ABSTRACT

(analítico) Se analizan las intersecciones entre territorio, movilidades y experiencias educativas de jóvenes de un barrio periférico de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. A partir de un abordaje etnográfico, basado en observaciones, talleres de mapeo territorial y entrevistas grupales con estudiantes de nivel secundario, damos cuenta de una monopolización de tiempos y espacios por parte de la escuela, que inhibe su participación en otras esferas sociales significativas. Desde la perspectiva juvenil, la escuela asume una connotación paradojal: es un «buen lugar» para estar, aunque también un ámbito que no satisface demandas específicas relativas a la salud, el respeto a la diversidad y el reconocimiento. El papel de las/os educadoras/es no es impugnado, tanto como el modo en que muchas/os están pudiendo hacer frente a dichas demandas.


(analytical) This paper analyzes the intersections between territory, mobilities, and educational experiences of youngsters from a peripheral neighborhood in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. Through an ethno-graphic approach based on observations, territorial mapping workshops, and group interviews with secondary level students, we account for a monopolization of time and space by the school, which inhibits their participation in other significant social spheres. From the youth perspective, the school assumes a paradoxical connotation: it is a «good place» to be, although it is also an environment that does not meet specific demands related to health, respect for diversity, and recognition. The role of educators is not contested, as much as the way in which many of them are able to meet these demands.


(analítico) O trabalho analisa as interseções entre território, mobilidade e experiências educacionais de jovens de um bairro periférico da cidade de Córdoba, Argentina. Através de uma abordagem etnográfica baseada em observações, oficinas de mapeamento territorial e entrevistas em grupo com estudantes do ensino medio, reconhecemos uma monopolização do tempo e do espaço pela escola, o que inibe sua participação em outras esferas sociais significativas. Do ponto de vista dos jovens, a escola assume uma conotação paradoxal: é um «bom lugar» para estar, embora também seja um ambiente que não atende às demandas específicas relacionadas à saúde, respeito à diversidade e reconhecimento. O papel dos educadores não é contestado, assim como a maneira como muitos deles estão lidando com essas demandas.
