A SAÚDE MENTAL DE PROFISSIONAIS DA LINHA DE FRENTE DA COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges for frontline healthcare workers, impacting not only their physical health but their mental health as well. Constantly facing the disease, stressful work conditions and exposure to traumatic situations can negatively impact the psychological well-being of these professionals. This study aims to carry out an integrative literature review on the mental health of frontline COVID-19 professionals, analyzing the main concerns, risk factors, coping strategies and proposed interventions. The methodology employed is an integrative literature review, which involved a search in academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, using the following descriptors: "mental health", "health professionals", "front line", "COVID-19". The integrative literature review revealed that healthcare workers on the frontlines of COVID-19 face a significant risk of mental health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Factors such as intense workload, lack of adequate protective equipment and direct exposure to the disease were associated with these problems. Interventions such as psychological support, self-care programs and stress management strategies are essential to protect the mental health of these professionals.A pandemia de COVID-19 impôs desafios significativos aos profissionais de saúde da linha de frente, afetando não apenas sua saúde física, mas também sua saúde mental. O enfrentamento constante da doença, as condições de trabalho estressantes e a exposição a situações traumáticas podem impactar negativamente o bem-estar psicológico desses profissionais. Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre a saúde mental dos profissionais da linha de frente da COVID-19, analisando as principais preocupações, fatores de risco, estratégias de enfrentamento e intervenções propostas. A metodologia empregada é uma revisão integrativa da literatura, que envolveu  uma busca em bases de dados acadêmicas, como PubMed, Scopus e Google Scholar, utilizando os seguintes descritores: "saúde mental", "profissionais de saúde", "linha de frente", "COVID-19". A revisão integrativa da literatura revelou que os profissionais de saúde da linha de frente da COVID-19 enfrentam um risco significativo de problemas de saúde mental, incluindo estresse, ansiedade, depressão e transtorno de estresse pós-traumático. Fatores como carga de trabalho intensa, falta de equipamentos de proteção adequados e exposição direta à doença foram associados a esses problemas. Intervenções como apoio psicológico, programas de autocuidado e estratégias de gestão do estresse são fundamentais para proteger a saúde mental desses profissionais

AS CONDUTAS DO PROFISSIONAL DE SAÚDE FRENTE A PARADA CARDIORRESPIRATÓRIA

Objective: To discuss, through the existing literature, the conduct of health professionals in the face of cardiopulmonary arrest. Methods: This is a qualitative integrative literature review. The search for works involved in the research was carried out in the following databases: SCIELO, LILACS, BDENF and MEDLINE, using the health sciences descriptors: "Hospital care", "Cardiorespiratory arrest" and "Emergency". The inclusion criteria were: published between 2013 and 2023, with free access to full texts, articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish and related to the theme. Exclusion criteria were: duplicate articles, incomplete articles, abstracts, reviews, debates, articles published in event proceedings and unavailable in full. Results: It is worth noting that the health professional who is in charge of identifying CPR should perform CPR maneuvers as soon as they identify that the victim has no pulse. Conclusion: This study concluded that CPR used to be one of the main causes of death in the world, but now that there are protocols and care strategies, it is no longer as frequent a cause of death as it once was.Objetivo: Discutir por meio da literatura existente acerca das condutas do profissional de saúde frente a parada cardiorrespiratória. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura de caráter qualitativo. A busca dos trabalhos envolvidos na pesquisa foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados: SCIELO, LILACS, BDENF e MEDLINE, a partir dos descritores em ciências da saúde: “Assistência hospitalar”, “Parada cardiorrespiratória” e “Urgência”. Os critérios de inclusão foram: publicados no período entre 2013 e 2023, cujo acesso ao periódico era livre aos textos completos, artigos em idioma português, inglês e espanhol e relacionados a temática. Critérios de exclusão foram: artigos duplicados, incompletos, resumos, resenhas, debates, artigos publicados em anais de eventos e indisponíveis na íntegra. Resultados: Destaca-se que o profissional de saúde que estiver a frente da identificação da PCR deve realizar as manobras de RCP a partir do momento que ele identificar que a vítima não possua pulso. Conclusão: O presente estudo concluiu que a PCR antigamente era uma das principais causas de morte no mundo, visto que atualmente existem protocolos e estratégias de cuidado ela não é mais uma causa frequente de morte como antes

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
