ABSTRACT
O objeto de estudo trata das estratégias da equipe de enfermagem frente às crianças hospitalizadas com Doenças Infecciosas e Parasitárias (DIP). Os objetivos são: descrever os cuidados prestados pela equipe de enfermagem às crianças com DIP; analisar as (im)possibilidades da equipe de enfermagem frente às crianças hospitalizadas com DIP e discutir as estratégias da equipe de enfermagem voltadas para o universo das crianças hospitalizadas com DIP. O referencial teórico está vinculado aos conceitos de cultura de Geertz (1989). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, tipo estudo de caso. O cenário do estudo é o setor de DIP de um hospital universitário do município do Rio de Janeiro. Os sujeitos do estudo são sete enfermeiras, sete técnicos e cinco auxiliares de enfermagem que atuam no referido setor. Os procedimentos metodológicos são o questionário para a caracterização dos sujeitos, a consulta aos prontuários com formulário e a cartografia (Santos, 2002) através da dinâmica do mapa do espaço. Em relação aos cuidados prestados pela equipe de enfermagem à criança hospitalizada com DIP, foram destacados os aspectos psicossociais da criança relacionados com a punção venosa; a dosagem da medicação; as medidas de precaução; os cuidados inerentes ao banho da criança; a alimentação e a hidratação da criança; eliminações fisiológicas e a troca de roupa da criança; bem como as brincadeiras e divertimentos durante os cuidados prestados à criança; a capacidade de observação; o cuidado diferenciado do adulto, o cuidado especializado, a (in)adequação do setor para a criança, condutas terapêuticas e rotinas...

This research has been made in infectious-parasitary disease sector of a public university hospital in Rio de Janeiro on the first semester of 1995. The logbook research has been introduced to 5 adult clients, from both sexes, who had been interned in the construction of two categories, which are: a) Category I: Feelings and expectations of the client and; b) Category II: Communication and relationship between client and nurse. The results found in the first category were: 1) Lack of affection; 2) Affection, fear and anxiety; 3) Loneliness and depression; 4) Reflection; 5) Insecurity; 6) Worry about the equipment, to be cut, to be impersonally treated, lose self-control and physical dependence. The results found in the second category were: 1) Doubts and interests in information about their disease, its evolution and how long they will stay in hospital: 2) Opportunity to express feelings and ideas; 3) Comprehension of the message given by the nurse. We emphasize the increase of interchange of information, ideas, beliefs, feelings and acts in nurse-client interaction to develop the therapeutic relationship aiming at helping the client to fulfill his basic needs.

There are three areas in which Australian scientists have made outstanding contributions to the study of the chemotherapy of human parasitic infections. Naturally occurring products of plants have great potential as antiparasitic agents and although several native species have been shown to have antimalarial and anthelmintic activity, their potential as chemotherapeutic agents has not been fully realised; secondly, the demands of war ensured that the Army Malaria Unit at Cairns carried out meticulous and exceptional studies to evaluate new antimalarial compounds. Not only were they able to prove the effectiveness of atebrin, Proguanil and chloroquine as prophylactics, they also obtained much new information on the pharmacokinetics of antimalarials and about the infection itself. Full recognition of these pioneering studies involving over 1000 volunteers infected with malaria, which can never be repeated, has not been appreciated. The third significant contribution is the molecular studies on the mechanisms of drug resistance Plasmodium falciparum of both the antifolate- and quinoline-containing drugs and the identification and subsequent biochemical and molecular analysis of drug resistance in Giardia intestinalis infections.

The incidence of tropical disease among people returning from long distance journeys is increasing and nurses need to improve their knowledge of these conditions. It is more important to know where to obtain accurate and up-to-date information on tropical diseases. Travellers need advice on prophylactic measures, and this may involve altering lifestyle patterns while abroad. Nurses should be alert to the possibility of tropical or infectious diseases when patients return from abroad, and should consider measures such as barrier nursing where appropriate.

Por lo expuesto en todo el curso de los capítulos anteriores podemos concluir en lo siguiente: 1° Que el índice de parasitosis en el grupo de 4 a 6 años es del 76 por ciento. 2°. Que los cuatro parácitos más frecuentes fueron, Entamoeba Histolítica (38 por ciento), Ascaria Lumbricoides (17 por ciento), Blastocistis Hominis (12 por ciento) y Tenia Hymenolepis Nana (8 por ciento ). 3. Que los casos de mono parasitosis fueron 55, con dos parásitos 18, con tres parásitos 3 y 24 placas negativas. 4. Que el sexo femenino es el más afectado en los siguientes parásitos: Entamoeba Histolítica, Hymenolepis Nana, Enteromonas Hominis, Trichuris Trichura, Dientamoeba, Monilias, Hongos. 5° Que en el sexo masculino se encuentran equilibrados o en mayor número el resto de los parásitos que no figuran en la cuarta conclusión. 6°. Que la mayor incidencia de parasitosis se encuentra entre los 6 y 8 años de edad. 7°. Si bien se encontró el 76 por ciento de incidencia parasitaria, de haberse utilizado un método más minucioso, como el de enriquecimiento y cultivo o la repetición de las placas negativas, cimiento y cultivo o la repetición de las placas negativas, este índice aumentaria porcentualmente. 8°. Que en el presente tabajo no se ha encontrado ni un solo caso de Esterobius Vermicularis, debido seguramente a medios indecuados de pesquisa para este parásito. 9°. Por último debemos recomendar la necesidad de vigilancia por organismos sanitarios y la prestación de medios profilácticos, diagnóstico y de tratamiento para la solución tan grave problema
