Do the benefits of learning to write a compare-contrast text transfer to other types of writing task? Analysing the effects of strategy-focused instruction / ¿Es posible transferir el aprendizaje de un texto de comparación-contraste a otro tipo de tareas? Análisis de los efectos de la instrucción estratégica

El programa de Instrucción de la Autorregulación Cognitiva (CSRI) se basa en la instrucción centrada en la estrategia e incluye tres componentes para la mejora del producto textual (enseñanza directa, modelado y práctica entre iguales). Se plantearon como objetivosanalizar si la instrucción con el programa CSRI en un género textual (texto de comparación) conducía a la transferencia espontánea en el producto textual (mejor coherencia, estructura y calidad) en un género no instruido (texto de opinión); y examinar si el orden de los componentes instruccionales presentaba algún efecto. Participaron 126 estudiantes de cuarto de educación primaria que fueron asignados a una de las dos condiciones experimentales en las que se aplicaba el programa CSRI (con diferente secuencia de los componentes instructivos), o a una condición de control en la que se seguía la enseñanza tradicional. Los resultados reflejaron que las dos secuencias de instrucción del programa CSRI mostraban beneficios en la estructura y coherencia del producto textual de los estudiantes en el posttest pero no 8 meses después. Para que los alumnos sean capaces de transferir adecuadamente lo aprendido a géneros textuales no instruidos, necesitan que los profesores les enseñen cómo hacerlo eficazmente.(AU)

Cognitive Self-Regulation Instruction (CSRI) program is a strategy-focused instruction with three instructional components for im-proving students’ writing product (direct teaching, modelling, and peer-practice). The present study aimed to explore whether the CSRI program leads to spontaneous transfer, improving the writing product (in terms of quality, structure, and text coherence) of an uninstructed genre (opinion text); and to examine whether the order in which the instructional compo-nents were implemented had an effect. A total of 126 students in their 4thyear of primary school participated in the study. They were randomly as-signed to one of two experimental conditions which received the CSRI but differed in the order the instructional components were delivered, or to a control condition which followed the traditional teaching approach. Our findings show that both CSRI sequences produced benefits in terms of greater structure and coherence of the writing product in the opinion text at post-test but not 8months after the intervention. In consequence, for students to be able to adequately transfer strategies to uninstructed text genres, they need teachers to teach them how to do it effectively.(AU)

[Translated article] Digital health for promoting adherence to antiretroviral treatment in patients with HIV/AIDS: A meta-review.

INTRODUCTION: Digital health or "e-health" is a set of applications based on information and communication technologies (ICTs) that can be used to promote self-care and medication adherence in patients with chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to carry out a review of systematic reviews (meta-review) on efficacy studies of e-health interventions to promote adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in people living with HIV/AIDS. METHODOLOGY: A review of systematic reviews ("meta-review") was performed using the Medline-PubMed database on efficacy studies of e-health components to promote adherence to ART, in patients with HIV/AIDS, proposing a structured search strategy (PICO question). A selection process for systematic reviews was conducted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently, the corresponding data were extracted, and the analysis was accomplished in descriptive tables. RESULTS: A total of 29 systematic reviews were identified, from which 11 were selected. These reviews comprised 55 RCTs with different e-health interventions and enrolled a total of 15,311 HIV/AIDS patients. Studies included a total of 66 comparisons (experimental group vs. control group) in indirect adherence measurements based on different measurement techniques (36 statistically significant); 21 comparisons of viral load (VL) measurements (10 statistically significant); and 8 comparisons of CD4+ cell count measurements (3 statistically significant). m-Health was the most studied component followed by the telephone call and e-learning. CONCLUSION: Evidence was found that supports that some e-health interventions are effective in promoting adherence to ART and improving health outcomes in patients with HIV/AIDS, although it is identified that more studies are needed for more robust evidence.

Estrategia de información, educación y comunicación en el abordaje de las ITS y VIH / Information, education and communication strategy in addressing STIs and HIV

El Ministerio de Salud, promueve el ejercicio del derecho humano a la salud, por lo anterior es importante redimensionar la Estrategia nacional de información, educación y comunicación para el cambio de comportamiento (IEC/CC), con el objetivo de que el personal de salud disponga de procesos sistemáticos para la promoción de la salud con enfoque de las determinantes sociales de la salud y comportamientos saludables que pudieran ser adaptados y adoptados según el perfil epidemiológico local, las prioridades de salud y los recursos humanos, materiales y financieros disponibles. Con base a lo anterior la Unidad de programa de ITS/VIH/sida, incorpora el abordaje de ITS/VIH a la Estrategia nacional de IEC/CC del MINSAL, dirigida hacia poblaciones de mayor vulnerabilidad, definidas en este documento como audiencia primaria siendo estas: adolescentes, trabajadores(as) sexuales, poblaciones clave, personas con capacidades especiales, personas privadas de libertad, población móvil y población de uniformados, con el fin de mejorar la salud en correspondencia a las estrategias planteadas

The Ministry of Health promotes the exercise of the human right to health, therefore it is important to resize the National Information, Education and Communication Strategy for Behavior Change (IEC/CC), with the objective that health personnel have systematic processes for health promotion with a focus on the social determinants of health and healthy behaviors that could be adapted and adopted according to the local epidemiological profile, health priorities and available human, material and financial resources. Based on the above, the STI/HIV/AIDS Program Unit incorporates the STI/HIV approach into the National IEC/CC Strategy of the MINSAL, aimed at the most vulnerable populations, defined in this document as the primary audience, these being : adolescents, sex workers, key populations, people with special abilities, people deprived of liberty, mobile population and uniformed population, in order to improve health in accordance with the proposed strategies

Exposure of wetlands important for nonbreeding waterbirds to sea-level rise in the Mediterranean.

Sea-level rise (SLR) is expected to cause major changes to coastal wetlands, which are among the world's most vulnerable ecosystems and are critical for nonbreeding waterbirds. Because strategies for adaptation to SLR, such as nature-based solutions and designation of protected areas, can locally reduce the negative effects of coastal flooding under SLR on coastal wetlands, it is crucial to prioritize adaptation efforts, especially for wetlands of international importance for biodiversity. We assessed the exposure of coastal wetlands important for nonbreeding waterbirds to projected SLR along the Mediterranean coasts of 8 countries by modeling future coastal flooding under 7 scenarios of SLR by 2100 (from 44- to 161-cm rise) with a static inundation approach. Exposure to coastal flooding under future SLR was assessed for 938 Mediterranean coastal sites (≤30 km from the coastline) where 145 species of nonbreeding birds were monitored as part of the International Waterbird Census and for which the monitoring area was delineated by a polygon (64.3% of the coastal sites monitored in the Mediterranean region). Thirty-four percent of sites were threatened by future SLR, even under the most optimistic scenarios. Protected study sites and study sites of international importance for waterbirds were, respectively, 1.5 and 2 times more exposed to SLR than the other sites under the most optimistic scenario. Accordingly, we advocate for the development of a prioritization scheme to be applied to these wetlands for the implementation of strategies for adaptation to SLR to anticipate the effects of coastal flooding. Our study provides major guidance for conservation planning under global change in several countries of the Mediterranean region.

Exposición de los humedales de importancia para las aves acuáticas no reproductoras al incremento del nivel del mar en el Mediterráneo Resumen Se espera que el incremento en el nivel del mar (INM) cause cambios importantes en los humedales costeros, los cuales se encuentran entre los ecosistemas más vulnerables y son críticos para las aves acuáticas no reproductoras. Es crucial la priorización de los esfuerzos de adaptación, especialmente en los humedales con importancia internacional para la biodiversidad, ya que las estrategias de adaptación ante el INM, como las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza y la designación de áreas protegidas, pueden reducir localmente los efectos negativos de las inundaciones costeras por INM en los humedales costeros. Evaluamos la exposición de los humedales costeros con importancia para las aves acuáticas no reproductoras ante el INM proyectado en las costas del Mediterráneo en ocho países con un modelo de inundaciones costeras en el futuro bajo siete escenarios de INM para el año 2100 (de 44 a 161 cm) con un enfoque de inundación estática. Evaluamos la exposición a las inundaciones costeras bajo el INM futuro en 938 sitios costeros del Mediterráneo (≤ 30 km a partir de la costa), en donde monitoreamos a 145 especies de aves no reproductoras como parte del Censo Internacional de Aves Acuáticas y para los cuales el área de monitoreo estuvo delineada con un polígono (64.3% de los sitios costeros monitoreados en la región Mediterránea). El 34% de los sitios se vio amenazado por el INM en el futuro, incluso con los escenarios más optimistas. Los sitios de estudio protegidos y los sitios de estudio de importancia internacional para las aves acuáticas estuvieron expuestos 1.5 y 2 veces más al INM que otros sitios con el escenario más optimista. De acuerdo con esto, abogamos por el desarrollo de un esquema de priorización para aplicarse en estos humedales para la implementación de estrategias de adaptación al INM para anticipar los efectos de las inundaciones costeras. Nuestro estudio proporciona información importante para la planeación de la conservación bajo el cambio global en varios de los países del Mediterráneo.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived stress among Romanian young adults: negative affect and avoidant coping as mediators / El impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 en el estrés percibido por jóvenes rumanos: los afectos negativos y las estrategias evasivas como mediadores

Antecedentes y objetivos: Aunque se consideraba que los jóvenes estaban menos expuestos a contraer una forma severa de la infección, los efectos que ellos más resintieron fueron los psicosociales. El presente artículo se propone comprobar el papel mediador de los afectos negativos y de las estrategias evasivas, primero en la relación entre el impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 y el estrés percibido, y luego entre la amenaza percibida y el estrés. Diseño: Se utilizó un diseño transversal. Métodos: Se empleó una muestra de 669 estudiantes de grado (18 - 28 años) durante la cuarta oleada de coronavirus, cuando la variante delta era la dominante. Resultados: Se observaron asociaciones positivas entre el impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 y el estrés percibido (r = .485; p<.001), por un lado, y entre la amenaza percibida y el estrés (r = .283; p< .001), por otro lado. Los datos estadísticos demuestran que los afectos negativos y las estrategias evasivas actúan como mediadores seriales (efecto indirecto = .3349, 95% CI, [.2858; .3852] / (efecto indirecto = .2072, 95% CI, [.1515; .2624]). Consecuentemente, el impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 (β = .137; 95% CI [.0019; .0045]) y la amenaza percibida (β = .069; 95% CI [.0007; .0046]) aumentan el estrés no sólo de manera directa, sino también indirecta, intensificando los afectos negativos. Esto genera una propensión hacia el uso específico de estrategias evasivas de afrontamiento. Conclusiones: El estudio subraya algunos mecanismos explicativos en cuanto a las relaciones entre variables que afectan la salud mental durante la pandemia COVID-19.(AU)

Background and objectives:Although young adults were considered to face a lower risk of severe coronavirus infection, they were at higher risk for adverse psychosocial effects. The aim of this study was to test the me-diating roles of negative affect and avoidant coping, firstly in the relation-ship between COVID-19 impact and perceived stress, and then in the rela-tionship between perceived coronavirus threat and perceived stress. Design:Cross-sectional design. Methods: We conducted the study on a sample of 669 university students (aged between 18-28), during the critical fourth wave, when the delta variant was the dominant strain. Results: The results indicate significant positive associations between the impact of COVID-19 and perceived stress (r = .485; p<.001), and between perceived corona-virus threat and perceived stress (r= .283; p<.001). Our findings demon-strate that negative affect and avoidant coping serially mediate these rela-tionships (total indirect effect = .3349, 95% CI, [.2858; .3852] / (total indi-rect effect = .2072, 95% CI, [.1515; .2624]). Thus, the impact of COVID-19 (β= .137; 95% CI [.0019; .0045]) and perceived coronavirus threat (β= .069; 95% CI [.0007; .0046]) induce an increase in stress not only directly, but also indirectly, through amplified negative affect, which in turn in-creases the specific-oriented use of avoidant coping strategies. Conclusions:Our results highlighted some new explanatory relationships between varia-bles that affect mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.(AU)

Sobrecarga, afrontamiento y soporte social en progenitores de niños con cáncer / Caregiver burden, coping and social support in parents of children with cancer

Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre las estrategias de afrontamiento, el soporte social, las características de padres cuidadores migrantes y sus niños con cáncer en la sobrecarga del cuidador de dichos padres. Método: Participaron 82 cuidadores (67 madres y 15 padres) en condición de bajo recursos que residían en albergues para niños con cáncer y sus cuidadores, quienes migraron a la ciudad para recibir el tratamiento. Se utilizó la Escala de Sobrecarga de Zarit (Zarit et al., 1980), el Inventario de Afrontamiento COPE (Carver et al., 1989) y el Cuestionario MOS de apoyo social (Sherbourne y Stewart, 1991). Resultado: Se realizaron dos modelos de regresión para evaluar el impacto de las variables demográficas y psicológicas en la carga del cuidador, el primer modelo involucra la escala global de apoyo social (R2 ajustado=,43, F=9,73, p<,001) y el segundo las escalas específicas (R2 ajustado=,45, F=8,23, p<,001). Los resultados evidencian el rol predictivo de las estrategias de afrontamiento como la aceptación, la reinterpretación positiva y enfocar y liberar emociones; el soporte social global y de tipo afectivo; y características sociodemográficas como el nivel de instrucción del progenitor y la edad del hijo en la sobrecarga del cuidador. La mayoría de estas variables tienen una relación inversa con la sobrecarga. Conclusiones: Los resultados del estudio subrayan la importancia de investigar la sobrecarga del cuidador en situación de vulnerabilidad. Además, el estudio destaca la relevancia de factores como las estrategias de afrontamiento y el apoyo social, que desempeñan un papel clave en la sobrecarga del cuidador.(AU)

Aim: To analyze the relationship between coping strategies, social support, characteristics of migrant parent caregivers and their children with cancer on caregiver overload of such parents. Zarit Burden Interview (Zarit et al., 1980), the COPE Inventory (Carver et al., 1989) and the MOS Social Support Questionnaire (Sherbourne y Stewart, 1991) were used. Method: Eighty-two caregivers (67 mothers and 15 fathers) residing in shelters for children with cancer and their caregivers, who migrated to the city to receive treatment, participated in this study. Results: Two regression models were performed to evaluate the impact of demographic and psychological variables on caregiver burden, the first model involves the global social support scale (R2 adjusted=.43, F=9.73, p<.001) and the second the specific scales (R2 adjusted=.45, F=8.23, p<.001). Results: There is evidence the predictive role of coping strategies such as acceptance, positive reinterpretation and growth, focus and venting of emotions; global and affective social support; and sociodemographic characteristics such as parental level of education and child age in caregiver burden. Most of these variables have an inverse relationship with caregiver burden. Conclusions: The results of the study underline the crucial importance of investigating caregiver burden in the context of vulnerability. In addition, the study highlights the importance of factors such as coping strategies and social support, which play a key role in influencing caregiver burden.(AU)

Estrategias de afrontamiento y estrés. Estudio longitudinal con estudiantes de Medicina y Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México / Coping strategies and stress. A longitudinal study of medical and veterinary students at the National Autonomous University of Mexico

Introducción: Medicina y Veterinaria son licenciaturas con alta demanda académica que tiende a ocasionar niveles elevados de estrés entre sus estudiantes. Objetivo: El propósito de esta investigación fue indagar sobre el papel de las estrategias utilizadas por los alumnos para afrontar el estrés. Sujetos y métodos. Se aplicó una encuesta en línea a 244 estudiantes del primer año de ambas carreras en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, al inicio del ciclo escolar y cuatro meses después. La encuesta incluyó la escala de estrés percibido de 10 ítems, el inventario de estilos de afrontamiento, y un apartado que indagó sobre aspectos sociodemográficos y académicos. Resultados: Se observó un incremento en el estrés de los alumnos de ambas licenciaturas, que fue estadísticamente significativo sólo en veterinaria (t(140)= –3,4; p < 0,001; d de Cohen = –0,29). El análisis estadístico mostró que mayores recursos económicos percibidos, mayor equilibrio entre la vida personal y académica, mayor resolución del problema y evitación del problema, así como menor expresión emocional, pensamiento desiderativo y autocrítica, notificados al inicio del ciclo académico, fueron los factores que se asociaron significativamente con un menor estrés percibido después de cuatromeses (F(15,228) = 14,16; p < 0,0001). Conclusión: Se destaca que las escuelas deberían incorporar actividades durante el proceso de formación de los futuros médicos y veterinarios, centradas en guiarlos y motivarlos para que desarrollen y utilicen estrategias que les permitan manejar adecuadamente situaciones desafiantes. De este modo, ellos pueden evitar el incremento de los niveles de estrés y el posible impacto negativo en su desempeño académico y salud mental.(AU)

Introduction: Medicine and Veterinary are careers with high academic demands that tend to cause high levels of stressamong students. Objective: This study investigated the role of strategies used by students to deal with stress.Subjects and methods. An online survey was administered to 244 medical and veterinary students at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, at the beginning of their first academic cycle and four months later. The survey included the perceived stress scale-10, the coping strategies inventory, as well as a section that inquired about sociodemographic and academic characteristics. Results: An increase in the stress of the students in both degrees was noted but this was only statistically significant (t(140) = –3.4, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = –0.29) among students enrolled in veterinary. Perception of higher financial resources to cover tuition and fees, greater life and school balance, increased problem-solving and problem-avoidance, less emotional expression, wishful thinking, and self-criticism, mentioned at the beginning of the academic cycle were significantly associated with a lower perception of stress four months later (F(15,228) = 14.16, p < 0.0001).Conclusion: It is highlighted that schools should incorporate activities during the training process of future doctors and veterinarians, focused on guiding and motivating them to develop and use strategies that allow them to adequately handle challenging situations. In this way, they will be able to avoid increased stress levels and the possible negative impact on their academic performance and mental health.(AU)

Digital health to promote adherence to antiretroviral treatment in patients with HIV/AIDS: Meta review. / Salud digital para promover la adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral en pacientes con VIH/sida: metarevisión.

INTRODUCTION: Digital health or "e-Health" is a set of applications based on Information and Communication Technologies that can be used to promote self-care and medication adherence in patients with chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to carry out a review of systematic reviews (meta-review) on efficacy studies of e-Health interventions to promote adherence to antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV/AIDS. METHOD: A review of systematic reviews ("meta-review") was performed using the Medline-PubMed database on efficacy studies of e-Health components to promote adherence to antirretroviral therapy, in patients with HIV/AIDS, proposing a structured search strategy (PICO question). A selection process for systematic reviews was conducted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently, the corresponding data were extracted, and the analysis was accomplished in descriptive tables. RESULTS: A total of 29 systematic reviews were identified, from which 11 were selected. These reviews comprised 55 randomized controlled therapies with different e-Health interventions and enrolled a total of 15,311 HIV/AIDS patients. Studies included a total of 66 comparisons (experimental group vs. control group) in indirect adherence measurements based on different measurement techniques (36 statistically significant); 21 comparisons of viral load measurements (10 statistically significant); and 8 comparisons of CD4+ cell count measurements (3 statistically significant). m-Health was the most studied component followed by the telephone call and e-Learning. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence was found that supports that some e-Health interventions are effective in promoting adherence to antirretroviral therapy and improving health outcomes in patients with HIV/AIDS, although it is identified that more studies are needed for more robust evidence.

Global patterns of human-wildlife spatial associations and implications for differentiating conservation strategies.

Understanding the global patterns of human and wildlife spatial associations is essential for pragmatic conservation implementation, yet analytical foundations and indicator-based assessments that would further this understanding are lacking. We integrated the global distributions of 30,664 terrestrial vertebrates and human pressures to map human-nature index (HNI) categories that indicate the extent and intensity of human-wildlife interactions. Along the 2 dimensions of biodiversity and human activity, the HNI allowed placement of terrestrial areas worldwide in one of 4 HNI categories: anthropic (human-dominated areas), wildlife-dominated (little human influence and rich in wildlife), co-occurring (substantial presence of humans and wildlife), and harsh-environment (limited presence of humans and wildlife) areas. The HNI varied considerably among taxonomic groups, and the leading driver of HNI was global climate patterns. Co-occurring regions were the most prevalent (35.9%), and wildlife-dominated and anthropic regions encompassed 26.45% and 6.50% of land area, respectively. Our results highlight the necessity for customizing conservation strategies to regions based on human-wildlife spatial associations and the distribution of existing protected area networks. Human activity and biodiversity should be integrated for complementary strategies to support conservation toward ambitious and pragmatic 30×30 goals.

Patrones globales de las asociaciones espaciales entre humanos y fauna y las implicaciones para la diferenciación de las estrategias de conservación Resumen Es esencial entender los patrones globales de asociaciones entre humanos y fauna para la implementación pragmática de la conservación. Aun así, son muy pocos los fundamentos analíticos y las evaluaciones basadas en indicadores que incrementarían este conocimiento. Integramos la distribución global de 30,664 vertebrados terrestres y presiones humanas para mapear las categorías del índice de naturaleza humana (INH) que indican la extensión e intensidad de las interacciones humano­fauna. El INH permitió la colocación de áreas terrestres en todo el mundo en las dos dimensiones de la biodiversidad y las actividades humanas dentro de una de las cuatro categorías del INH: áreas antrópicas (dominadas por humanos), dominadas por fauna (poca influencia humana y rica en fauna), co­ocurrentes (presencia sustancial de humanos y fauna) y de ambiente severo (presencia limitada de humanos y fauna). El INH varió considerablemente entre los taxones, y el factor principal fueron los patrones climáticos mundiales. Las regiones co­ocurrentes fueron las más frecuentes (35.9%) las regiones antrópicas y dominadas por fauna englobaron el 26.45% y 6.50% del área terrestre respectivamente. Nuestros resultados enfatizan la necesidad de personalizar las estrategias de conservación acorde a la región con base en las asociaciones espaciales entre humanos y fauna y la distribución de las redes existentes de áreas protegidas. La actividad humana y la biodiversidad deberían estar integradas para las estrategias complementarias para respaldar a la conservación hacia los objetivos ambiciosos y pragmáticos de 30 para el 30.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Gender Invariance of the Coping Strategies Inventory in Academic University Stress / [Análisis factorial confirmatorio e invarianza de género del Inventario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento (CSI) en estrés académico universitario]

Background: Though the Spanish version of the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI) is frequently used, it has not been subjected to any significant re-evaluation from a psychometric perspective. Method: We analysed CSI data that was focused on an academic stress situation, using a university sample of 874 participants, 50% of each gender. We conducted reliability, confirmatory factor, and factorial invariance across gender analyses. Results: The first-order factorial structure was confirmed, showing an adequate fit for the eight-factor coping strategies model with good reliability indices. Neither the second-order (problem-centred vs. emotion-centred) nor third-order (engagement vs. disengagement) strategies showed an adequate fit. Factorial invariance for gender was confirmed. Conclusions: The theoretical and applied implications of the results are discussed.(AU)

Antecedentes: Aunque la versión española del del Inventario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento (CSI) se usa frecuentemente, no se ha sometido a reevaluación psicométrica. Método: Analizamos datos del CSI aplicados a situaciones de estrés académico utilizando una muestra universitaria de 874 participantes, 50% de cada género. Llevamos a cabo análisis de fiabilidad, confirmatorios y de invarianza factorial por género. Resultados: Se confirmó la estructura factorial de primer orden, mostrando un ajuste adecuado el modelo de 8 estrategias de afrontamiento, con buenos índices de fiabilidad. No mostraron un ajuste adecuado las factorizaciones de segundo orden (centrado en el problema o en la emoción) ni de tercer orden (compromiso o retirada). Se confirmó la invarianza factorial por género. Conclusiones: Se discuten las implicaciones teóricas y aplicadas de los resultados.(AU)

Investigação do aleitamento materno com foco sobre a exclusividade dessa prática no primeiro semestre de vida da criança, em um município do norte de Minas Gerais / Investigation of breastfeeding focusing on the exclusivity of this practice in the first semester of the child's life, in a municipality in the north of Minas Gerais

Objetivo: investigar o aleitamento materno com foco sobre a exclusividade dessa prática no primeiro semestre de vida da criança, em um município do norte de Minas Gerais. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, qualitativo realizado com 13 mães com idade entre 24 e 39 anos. Os dados foram coletados entre agosto e setembro de 2023, por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada, e analisados mediante análise temática. Resultados: as mulheres indicaram ter enfrentado dificuldades na prática do aleitamento materno exclusivo, especialmente nos primeiros dias de vida da criança, devido a ingurgitamento, mastite, fissuras mamárias, pressão social e pessoal de leite fraco. Identificou-se como benefícios do aleitamento materno exclusivo a proteção imunológica, o estreitamento de vínculo, a prevenção de doenças e de desnutrição na criança, assim como a aceleração da involução uterina e a prevenção de cânceres na mulher. O apoio da família, do parceiro e da equipe de saúde foi apontado como fatores facilitadores do aleitamento materno, porém indicaram receber poucas orientações dos profissionais sobre amamentação. Conclusão: destaca-se a importância de a equipe de saúde atuar com um olhar zeloso perante esse público, intensificando as orientações sobre aleitamento materno exclusivo a fim de reduzir as dúvidas e dificuldades para elevar as taxas de duração e exclusividade do aleitamento materno.

Objective: to investigate breastfeeding with a focus on the exclusivity of this practice in the first semester of a child's life in a municipality in the north of Minas Gerais. Methods: this is a descriptive, qualitative study carried out with 13 mothers aged between 24 and 39 years old. Data were collected between August and September 2023 from a semi-structured interview and analyzed using Thematic Analysis. Results: women indicated that they faced difficulties in practicing exclusive breastfeeding, especially in the first days of the child's life, due to engorgement, mastitis, breast fissures, and social and personal pressure of weak milk. The benefits of exclusive breastfeeding were identified as immunological protection, strengthening bonds, preventing diseases and malnutrition in children, as well as accelerating uterine involution, and preventing cancer in women. Support from family, partner, and healthcare team was identified as factors that facilitate breastfeeding, but they indicated that they received little guidance from professionals about breastfeeding. Conclusion: the importance of the health team acting with a zealous eye towards the public is highlighted, intensifying guidance on exclusive breastfeeding in order to reduce doubts and difficulties in increasing the duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding.

Acesso a Unidades Básicas de Saúde no município de Pelotas/Rio Grande do Sul

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar o fluxo de acesso às Unidades Básicas de Saúde no município de Pelotas/RS no ano de 2022. Metodologia: Estudo qualitativo observacional, exploratório e descritivo realizado através da coleta de dados na Secretaria Municipal de Saúde, e busca nas bases de dados referenciais. Resultados: Em Pelotas/RS, no ano de 2022, possuía 51 Unidades Básicas contempladas por 100 equipes de saúde. Em relação ao horário de funcionamento, 90% das unidades atuavam em horário comercial e, apenas 10%, em horário estendido. Quanto à territorialização, encontrava-se em processo de adesão à política de população adscrita, tendo, no momento do estudo, 45 de suas unidades com a área populacional total de abrangência. Além disso, nos últimos anos foi implementado o sistema de acolhimento como forma de primeiro atendimento. Conclusões: No que tange ao objeto de estudo - o acesso - viu-se que a principal barreira está no horário de funcionamento das unidades. A modificação na forma de atendimento, implementado o acolhimento, foi visivelmente benéfico à população, permitindo maior porta de entrada à saúde. Evidenciou-se, ainda, algumas lacunas que podem impedir o acesso integral dos indivíduos, como a falta de alguns profissionais nas unidades e a fragmentação do sistema, esse último podendo ser solucionado com o incentivo e o investimento à tecnologia, a favor da integração dos serviços.

Assessment of the quality, diagnosis, and therapeutic recommendations of clinical practice guidelines on patients with Helicobacter pylori infection: A systematic review.

We conducted this study to systematically review and assess the current clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) related to the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The aim was to evaluate the quality of these included CPGs and provide clinicians with a convenient and comprehensive reference for updating their own CPGs. We searched four databases to identify eligible CPGs focusing on H. pylori diagnosis and treatment recommendations. The results were presented using evidence mappings. Quality and clinical applicability were assessed comprehensively using AGREE-II and AGREE-REX. Statistical tests, specifically Bonferroni tests, were employed to compare the quality between evidence-based guidelines and consensus. A total of 30 eligible CPGs were included, comprising 17 consensuses and 13 guidelines. The quality showed no statistical significance between consensuses and guidelines, mainly within the moderate to low range. Notably, recommendations across CPGs exhibited inconsistency. Nevertheless, concerning diagnosis, the urea breath test emerged as the most frequently recommended method for testing H. pylori. Regarding treatment, bismuth quadruple therapy stood out as the predominantly recommended eradication strategy, with high-dose dual therapy being a newly recommended option. Our findings suggest the need for specific organizations to update their CPGs on H. pylori or refer to recently published CPGs. Specifically, CPGs for pediatric cases require improvement and updating, while a notable absence of CPGs for the elderly was observed. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to improve the overall quality of CPGs related to H. pylori. Regarding recommendations, additional evidence is essential to elucidate the relationship between H. pylori infection and other diseases and refine test indications. Clinicians are encouraged to consider bismuth quadruple or high-dose dual therapy, incorporating locally sensitive antibiotics, as empirical radical therapy. .

Perfil e práticas dos médicos da atenção primária na pandemia de covid-19 em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil / The profile and practices of primary care physicians during the covid-19 pandemic in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil / Perfil y prácticas de los médicos de atención primaria en la pandemia de la covid-19 en Salvador, Bahía, Brasil

Em 2020, a atenção à saúde sofreu o impacto da pandemia de covid-19, e a Atenção Primária não foi exceção. Para melhor compreender a reorganização desse setor no município de Salvador, Bahia, esta pesquisa descreve o perfil dos médicos e as práticas de saúde realizadas por eles na Atenção Primária no contexto da pandemia. Trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal descritivo, que se utiliza de um questionário online autoaplicável distribuído aos médicos participantes que atuam nas unidades básicas de saúde que compõem a Atenção Primária do município. Para análise dos dados, foi utilizada estatística descritiva simples. Com um total de 43 questionários respondidos, foram descritos aspectos referentes a: perfil, formação e atuação dos médicos; mudanças estruturais ocorridas e adoção de novas ferramentas de trabalho; manutenção dos cuidados primários de rotina; ações de vigilância em saúde; suporte social a grupos vulneráveis; e atuação clínica em pacientes com covid-19. Com uma maioria de médicas jovens, recém-formadas e em um período curto de atuação nas equipes onde estavam inseridas, observou-se pouco envolvimento em vigilância e suporte a grupos vulneráveis e um abrangente uso de telemedicina e reestruturação do funcionamento das unidades. Contudo, alguns cuidados primários, como acompanhamento de doenças crônicas e puericultura, resultaram em limitações no acesso e, consequentemente, menor atenção ao cuidado longitudinal.

In 2020, health care suffered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and primary care was no exception. To better understand the reorganization of this segment in the municipality of Salvador, Bahia, this research describes the profile of physicians and health practices performed by them in primary care in the pandemic context. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study using an online self-administered questionnaire distributed to participating physicians who work in the basic health units that are a part of primary care in the municipality. For data analysis, simple descriptive statistics was used. With a total of 43 questionnaires answered, the following aspects were described: profile, training, and performance of physicians; structural changes and adoption of new work tools; maintenance of routine primary care; health surveillance actions; social support to vulnerable groups; and clinical performance with COVID-19 patients. With mostly young females, recently graduated, and with a short period of service in the teams where they were located; little involvement in surveillance and support to vulnerable groups is observed, as well as an extensive use of telemedicine and restructuring of the operation of the units. However, some primary care, such as chronic disease follow-up and childcare, resulted in limitations in access and, consequently, less attention to longitudinal care.

[Primary prevention of gender-based violence]. / Prevención primaria de la violencia de género.

Gender-based violence is a serious public health problem and a violation of human rights. The vast scale of the problem indicates that it is necessary to advance in its primary prevention. The health sector has an important role to play, especially Primary Health Care, based on its community orientation and with the involvement of all members of the team. The intervention framework defined by the acronym "RESPECT", promoted by the World Health Organization, shows the 7 strategies that are currently promising to lead to reductions in gender-based violence, based on the best scientific evidence available to date. Using a participatory, life-cycle approach, promoting coordination and partnership across sectors, and implementing combined interventions are some of the guiding principles from which to work today.
