Prevalence of reported violence in children and adolescents in the clinical work of health professionals: a systematic review and meta-analysis / Prevalência de relato de violência em crianças e adolescentes no trabalho clínico de profissionais da saúde: uma revisão sistemática e meta-análise

Abstract This article aims to analyze the prevalence of reporting and notification of violence in children and adolescents in the work of clinical health professionals. The search was performed in six electronic databases and the gray literature for studies published until June 1, 2022. Estimates of interest were calculated using random effects meta-analyses. Two reviewers independently evaluated the potentially eligible studies according to the following criteria: cross-sectional studies carried out with health professionals who provided clinical care for children and adolescents and dealt with violence cases. Two reviewers extracted data on included trial characteristics, methods, and outcomes. Expectations of interest were transformed using random effects meta-analyses. The meta-analysis of the prevalence of reports of violence performed with 42 articles was 41%. The notification meta-analysis occurred with 39 articles and was 30%. About one in two health professionals face situations of violence against children and adolescents in their clinical practice (41%), and approximately one in three health professionals report the cases (30%).

Hearing Health at School: analysis of knowledge, behaviors and attitudes of Southern-Brazilian children and adolescents on noise.

PURPOSE: to analyze the knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes of students on noise. METHODS: We used an observational method study, in 32 Schools from Itajaí/Brazil, with a convenience sample, comprising 1,835 students, 45.7% females and 54.3% males, mean age of 11.53 ± 0.8 years, was conducted. The Portuguese version of Dangerous Decibels® questionnaire was applied. For the data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used, significance level of 5%. RESULTS: A large part of the sample part of the sample had harmful hearing habits; 62.6% reported knowledge on the subject, but only 25.4% answered the questions on the theme correctly; 58.9% reported that they did not know how to protect hearing if necessary. Regarding sex and age: males have more hazardous hearing habits (p < 0.001) and tinnitus complaint (p<0.001) and females have more knowledge (p < 0.001) and the intent to wear hearing protection (p<0.001), greater intention to wear hearing protection among younger students (10 and 11 years old) (p < 0.001), and the older ones (12 to 16 years old) get more exposed to noise (p < 0.001), and there are more tinnitus complaints (p < 0.05) among them. CONCLUSION: A large part of the students in the study has hazardous noisy habits and scarce knowledge on the theme, with males and older subjects showing the worst attitudes and behaviors in face of the potential hearing risk caused by exposure to high noise levels.

Relationship between mastication and malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults: a meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between mastication and malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: To establish the eligibility criteria, the acronym PECOS was used: Population: non-institutionalized older adults; Exposure: older adults with malnutrition; Control: older adults without malnutrition; Outcome: masticatory problems in malnourished older adults; Study types: observational studies. SELECTION CRITERIA: It selected studies assessing malnutrition and mastication difficulties in non-institutionalized adults over 60 years old, of both sexes. Mastication and malnutrition were evaluated with questionnaires on self-reported symptoms and clinical and instrumental assessments. There were no restrictions on language, year of publication, or ethnicity. DATA ANALYSIS: The included studies were evaluated for methodological quality with the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for cross-sectional studies. For the cross-sectional studies included, the odds ratio (OR) was calculated with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: After searching the databases, 692 references were retrieved, with three studies selected for quantitative and qualitative analysis. The values obtained in the meta-analysis for association show that malnutrition and mastication difficulties were 2.21 times as likely to occur (OR = 2.21; 95%CI = 0.93 - 5.26; I2 = 94%) as individuals without malnutrition (p < 0.001). The assessment of the risk of bias presented a high-risk, a moderate-risk, and a low-risk study. The certainty of evidence was rated very low with the GRADE tool. CONCLUSION: Individuals at risk of malnutrition are 2.21 times as likely to have mastication difficulties.

Relationship between prematurity and difficulties in the transition of food consistency in childhood: a systematic review. / Relação entre prematuridade e dificuldades na transição da consistência alimentar na infância: uma revisão sistemática.

PURPOSE: To systematically review the literature regarding the impact of prematurity on the transition of food consistencies in infants during the introduction of complementary feeding. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: Searches were conducted in the EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), LIVIVO, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, Google Scholar; for gray literature, searches were conducted on Open Gray, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses databases, from August 10, 2020, onwards. SELECTION CRITERIA: "PECOS" was selected to determine inclusion criteria: Population (P): Infants; Exposure (E): Prematurity; Comparison (C): Full-term newborns; Outcomes (O): Progression of food consistencies in premature newborns with or without comparison; Study design (S): Cohort study, Case-control; Cross-sectional. DATA ANALYSIS: The methodological quality of the selected observational studies was assessed using the Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (MASTARI). RESULTS: A total of 3,310 articles were found, of which nine were selected for qualitative synthesis. Among the selected studies, a relationship between invasive oral interventions and feeding difficulties was observed for all assessed skills, with feeding difficulties being more frequent in infants with lower gestational age. CONCLUSION: Most studies found no significant relationship between prematurity and difficulties in the progression of food consistencies during the introduction of complementary feeding; only three studies demonstrated such a relationship.

RESULTADOS: Um total de 3.310 artigos foram encontrados, sendo 9 selecionados para a realização da síntese qualitativa. Nos estudos selecionados foi observada a relação entre intervenções orais invasivas e dificuldade alimentar para todas as habilidades avaliadas e quanto menor a idade gestacional, mais frequente são os comportamentos de dificuldades alimentares. CONCLUSÃO: Não foi observada relação entre a prematuridade e dificuldades na progressão das consistências no período da introdução das consistências alimentares na maioria dos estudos, somente três deles demonstraram tal relação.

Impact of reading intervention on the phonological awareness of children with autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To review studies that have intervention in reading with impacts on phonological awareness in children with autism spectrum disorder. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: Searches took place until February 2021 in Cochrane, Embase, ERIC (Education Resources Information Center), LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature), PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and gray literature databases. SELECTION CRITERIA: The review included experimental studies with preschoolers and schoolchildren with ASD. Two independent reviewers selected the studies and, in case of disagreement, a third reviewer was consulted. DATA ANALYSIS: Joanna Briggs Institute checklists were used for risk of bias. A random effects meta-analysis was performed and the certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE tool. RESULTS: Eight studies with some impact on phonological awareness were reviewed. The risk of bias was low and moderate. The certainty of the evidence was low for randomized trials and very low for non-randomised trials. Comparison of pre- and post-therapy on the Preschool Literacy Test (TOPEL) showed that children with ASD improved phonological awareness, with a mean difference between baseline and post-therapy of 6.21 (95% CI = 3.75-8.67; I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION: Shared reading and software activities with words and phrases can alter phonological awareness. These results support further research with larger samples and a detailed description of the intervention to observe its effectiveness in phonological awareness.

Efficiency of mixed and rigid occlusal stabilization splints: Randomized clinical trial.

Occlusal stabilization splints are the most common treatment for controlling the deleterious effects of sleep bruxism. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a low-cost, mixed occlusal splint (MOS) compared to that of a rigid splint. A randomized clinical trial was performed on 43 adults of both sexes with possible sleep bruxism and satisfactory dental conditions. They were divided into rigid occlusal splint (ROS) (n = 23) and MOS (n = 20) groups. Masticatory muscle and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain intensity (visual analog scale), quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF), indentations in the oral mucosa, anxiety, and depression (HADS), number of days of splint use, and splint wear were evaluated. All variables were evaluated at baseline (T0), 6 months (T6), and 12 months (T12) after splint installation (T0), and splint wear was evaluated at T6 and T12. Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, non-parametric Friedman's analysis of variance for paired samples and pairwise multiple comparisons, Pearson's chi-square test, two-proportion z-test, non-parametric McNemar's and Cochran's Q, and Wilcoxon tests were used (p < 0.05). In both groups, there was a decrease in TMJ pain and pain intensity over time and improvements in the quality of life scores. At T6, there was a higher rate of splint wear in the MOS group than in the ROS group (p = 0.023). The MOS showed a higher rate of wear than the rigid splint but had similar results for the other variables. Therefore, the use of a mixed splint appears to be effective in controlling the signs and symptoms of sleep bruxism.

This study aimed to apply usability and utility tests to the Dental Trauma application (app), available for free in Portuguese on the App Store and Play Store. Students and dentists participated in the study (n = 20). The System Usability Scale (SUS) test was used for usability analysis, and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) test, adapted to the dental trauma context, was used for utility analysis. The Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare SUS scores between students and dentists, and the Spearman test was used to correlate utility questions. The SUS score at the 50th percentile was 83.75. Scores above 68 are classified as acceptable. The Mann-Whitney test did not show a significant difference in the SUS score when analyzing dentists and dental students separately (p = 0.442). The app was widely evaluated as useful (95% to 100%), with robust, positive, and significant correlations observed between responses to each question. However, it does not cover traumas in deciduous teeth, presenting an opportunity for updating or developing other apps. The Dental Trauma app fulfilled both usability and usefulness criteria, garnering an "excellent" rating in its outcomes. Users acknowledged its utility as a valuable technological tool aiding professionals in diagnosis, management, and comprehension of dental trauma-related concepts (AU).

Patient-centered care - evidence in the context of professional health practice.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze patient-centered attitudes in care and sharing practices of nursing, speech therapy, dentistry and medicine professionals. METHODS: cross-sectional research was used with 411 professionals, and the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale instrument was applied as a measure of outcome. RESULTS: physicians presented higher mean scores, reflecting a patient-centered orientation, shared control, and focus on the person, with statistical difference for all domains (p<0.02). Dentists were the professionals who presented lower scores, especially in the sharing domain, with statistical difference in relation to nurses, speech therapists, and physicians (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: finally, the attitudes of professionals in the health areas studied indicated self-reported preference for centrality in patients. In this context, patient-centered care can be an important resource in health care when committed to overcoming the object man.

Development and validation of BATUTA: a test to evaluate the musical perception of people with hearing impairment. / Desenvolvimento e validação do BATUTA: um teste para avaliação da percepção musical de pessoas com deficiência auditiva.

PURPOSE: To describe the development and validation of a test, called BATUTA, that assesses the musical perception of people with hearing impairment that are hearing aid (HA) users. BATUTA is a computerized test with 35 subtests, divided into the rhythm, pitch, and timbre modules, and the participants must answer whether the sound samples and/or parts of the songs, presented in pairs, are the same or not. METHODS: The BATUTA creation process consisted of four stages: test development, submission to the expert committee for content validation; pilot application with 51 normal hearing participants and retest to validate reliability. The process was based on several recommendations for the development and validation of musical assessment instruments. A deep investigation of the guidelines related to sound samples used, musical attributes evaluated, testing environment and the most appropriate response method was undertaken to ensure dependability. RESULTS: The Content Validity Index (CVI) and expert agreement rates, when analyzed with the committee's recommendations, resulted in corrections and new audio recordings to ensure compliance to the test. The pilot test scores indicated internal consistency and the retest confirmed the reliability of BATUTA. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated the viability of BATUTA to assess the musical perception of people with hearing impairment that are HA users.

OBJETIVO: Descrever o desenvolvimento e a validação de um teste de percepção musical, denominado BATUTA, destinado a avaliar a percepção musical de pessoas com deficiência auditiva, usuárias de aparelhos de amplificação sonora individual (AASI). O BATUTA é um teste computadorizado composto por 35 subtestes divididos nos módulos ritmo, pitch e timbre para os quais os participantes devem responder se as amostras sonoras e/ou os trechos musicais apresentados, aos pares, são iguais ou diferentes. MÉTODO: O processo de construção do BATUTA foi composto por quatro etapas: desenvolvimento do teste, submissão da versão inicial ao comitê de especialistas para validação de conteúdo; aplicação do piloto em 51 participantes com audição normal e reteste para validação da confiabilidade, fundamentadas em reconhecidas recomendações para elaboração e validação de instrumentos de avaliação. Diretrizes relacionadas à natureza das amostras sonoras utilizadas, aos atributos musicais avaliados, ao ambiente de testagem e ao tipo de resposta indicada para a finalidade do BATUTA foram amplamente investigadas, com o propósito de lhe conferir fidedignidade. RESULTADOS: Os índices de Validação de Conteúdo (IVC) e de concordância entre os especialistas, quando analisados juntamente com as recomendações do comitê, resultaram em correções e em novas gravações dos áudios para garantir o cumprimento do teste. Os escores da aplicação do teste piloto indicaram boa consistência interna e o reteste confirmou a confiabilidade do BATUTA. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados demonstraram a viabilidade do BATUTA para avaliar a percepção musical de pessoas com deficiência auditiva usuárias de AASI.

Evolução e desfecho de casos de violência intrafamiliar contra crianças e adolescentes: enfoque fonoaudiológico / Evolution and outcome of cases of intrafamily violence against children and adolescents: Speech, Language Pathology and Audiology approach / Evolución y desenlace de los casos de violencia intrafamiliar contra niños y adolescentes: enfoque de logopedia

Objetivo: investigar as alterações fonoaudiológicas encontradas em casos de violência intrafamiliar contra crianças e adolescentes, bem como analisar a evolução e o desfecho dos casos atendidos por fonoaudiólogos. Método: Estudo transversal, produzido por meio da aplicação de questionários com fonoaudiólogos clínicos que atendiam a crianças e adolescentes nos estados do Paraná e Santa Catarina. A exploração dos dados foi pautada na metodologia de Análise do Conteúdo (AC). Resultados: Dos 75 fonoaudiólogos pesquisados, 52% atenderam a crianças e/ou adolescentes suspeitos ou confirmados de sofrerem violência. Deste número, 59,5% dos profissionais continuaram acompanhado os casos e 40,5% descontinuaram o acompanhamento. Conclusão: As alterações na linguagem foi a queixa fonoaudiológica mais encontrada nas vítimas. Em muitos casos não foi possível obter informações sobre o desfecho da situação de violência, devido ao abandono do trabalho fonoaudiológico. Nas situações com desfechos favoráveis, este acontecimento ocorreu devido à remoção do agressor do contexto familiar, o acompanhamento de todos os envolvidos ou o encaminhamento da vítima para tratamentos interdisciplinares. Com relação ao desenrolar da queixa fonoaudiológica, os casos que tiveram evolução, foram os acompanhados de maneira interdisciplinar, principalmente com tratamento psicólogo dos envolvidos. Pode-se notar, também, que os profissionais que relacionaram a queixa fonoaudiológica com a situação de violência atuaram de forma mais humanizada, olhando o sujeito como um todo, permitindo o seu progresso terapêutico. (AU)

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the speech-language disorders found in cases of domestic violence against children and adolescents and to analyze the evolution and outcome of cases assisted by Speech, Language Pathology and Audiology professionals. Methods: Cross-sectional study, produced through the application of questionnaires to clinical Speech, Language Pathology and Audiology professionals who assisted children and adolescents in the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina. Data exploration was based on the Content Analysis methodology. Results: Of the 75 Speech, Language Pathology and Audiology professionals surveyed, 52% assisted children and/or adolescents suspected or confirmed to be victims of violence. Regarding this number, 59.5% of the professionals continued to monitor the cases, and 40.5% discontinued the follow-up. Conclusion: Language changes comprised the speech-language pathology complaint most found in the victims. In many cases, it was not possible to obtain information about the outcome of the situation of violence due to the abandonment of Speech, Language Pathology and Audiology work. In situations with favorable outcomes, this event occurred due to the removal of the aggressor from the family context, the monitoring of all those involved, or the referral of the victim to interdisciplinary treatments. Regarding the development of the speech-language pathology complaint, the cases that evolved were followed up in an interdisciplinary manner, mainly with psychological treatment for those involved. Professionals who related the speech-language pathology complaint to the situation of violence acted more humanely, looking at the subjects as a whole and allowing their therapeutic progress. (AU)

Propósito: investigar los trastornos del habla y el lenguaje encontrados en casos de violencia doméstica contra niños y adolescentes, así como analizar la evolución y el rechazo de dos casos tratados por logopedas. Método: Estudio transversal, producido a través de la aplicación de cuestionarios con logopedas clínicos que atendían a niños y adolescentes en los estados de Paraná y Santa Catarina. La exploración de datos se basó en la metodología de Análisis de Contenido (CA). Resultados: De los 75 fonoaudiólogos encuestados, el 52% asiste a niños y/o adolescentes sospechosos o confirmados de ser víctimas de violencia. De ese número, 59,5% de los profesionales continuaron con el acompañamiento de los casos y 40,5% interrumpieron el seguimiento. Conclusión: Los cambios en el lenguaje fueron la queja de patología del habla y lenguaje más frecuente en las víctimas. En muchos casos no fue posible obtener información sobre el desenlace de la situación de violencia, debido al abandono del trabajo logopédico. En situaciones con resultados favorables, este evento se produjo por la separación del agresor del contexto familiar, el seguimiento de todos los implicados o la derivación de la víctima a tratamientos interdisciplinarios. En cuanto a la evolución del cuadro patológico del habla-lenguaje, los casos que evolucionaron fueron seguidos de manera interdisciplinaria, principalmente con tratamiento psicológico para los involucrados. También se puede notar que los profesionales que relacionaron la denuncia de fonoaudiología con la situación de violencia actuaron de forma más humana, mirando al sujeto como un todo, permitiendo su progreso terapéutico.(AU)

Association between atypical swallowing and malocclusions: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aims to answer the following focus question: "Is there an association between atypical swallowing and malocclusions?". METHODS: Appropriate word combinations were chosen and tailored specifically for each of the following electronic databases: EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), LIVIVO, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and gray literature, without any restrictions, up to February 2021. According to the selection criteria, only cross-sectional studies were included. The following inclusion criteria were considered: a sample composed of children, adolescents, and adults; patients clinically diagnosed with atypical swallowing; patients with normal swallowing; and outcome of interest of atypical swallowing in patients with malocclusion. The data consisted of study characteristics, sample characteristics, results, and conclusion of each study. The risk of bias was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies, and the certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE tool. RESULTS: 4,750 articles were identified. After a two-step selection, four studies were included. A higher frequency of distal occlusion, extreme maxillary overhang, and open bite was related to swallowing disorders; most studies pointed to posterior crossbite as a malocclusion more associated with atypical swallowing. All studies had a moderate to high risk of bias, and the certainty of evidence was very low. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that atypical swallowing is associated with malocclusions and that posterior crossbite is the main malocclusion found, but only in the young population (3-11 years).
