Sexuality Workshop For Adolescents: Participative Strategy For Collective Knowledge Construction
Sexuality Workshop For Adolescents: Participative Strategy For Collective Knowledge Construction
Background: This is a quali- quantitative research and was conducted in a basic health unit aiming to investigate female adolescents’ knowledge, practices and attitudes concerning sexuality.
Methodology: The action-research methodology was used to develop workshop activities because it is a participative methodology. The workshop was performed in two modules with the participation of 29 female adolescents, and data were collected by questionnaires addressing two groups of adolescents who had or had not begun sexual activity.
Results: The representations about sexuality were related to sexual relationships and showed erroneous information concerning sexually transmitted infections, which makes the adolescents vulnerable. Many of them reported not to know anything about infections or contraceptive methods, to know about contraceptive pills and condoms and to have doubts about condom use, and when experiencing sexuality, gender manifestation was present in the adolescents’ descriptions.
Conclusion: Strict gender roles and a patriarchal and a chauvinistic social structure determine adolescents’ behaviors that make them believe in two opposing worlds, the masculine and the feminine worlds. With this regard, identities are constructed in multiple institutions that produce and reproduce differences. Among such institutions, schools, families and the media are noteworthy, since, despite social and individual resistance movements, they impose behavioral models according to prevailing social practices and to the objectives of the consumer and producer market. It is important to reflect about the inclusion of sexual diversity in order to act in this reality by understanding sexuality in the perspective of human rights.

Vivenciando a escolha pelo curso de gradução em enfermagem na perspectiva da fenomenologia social
O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender os motivos que levaram os formandos de 2008 da Faculdade Marechal Rondon a escolherem o Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem. Para alcançar essa finalidade optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, na vertente da Fenomenologia Social de Alfred Schütz. Por meio das descrições obtidas foi possível desvendar os “motivos para” e “motivos porque” dos formandos. Participaram do estudo dez formandos, cujas entrevistas foram áudio-gravadas, sendo utilizada a questão norteadora: Quais os motivos pelos quais escolheu o curso de enfermagem? para desvelar o fenômeno. A seguir, definiram-se as categorias concretas do vivido denominadas de: Enfermagem como segunda opção, Assistência de Enfermagem, Influência Familiar, Mercado de trabalho, Identidade profissional e Realização. Ao analisar a primeira categoria foi possível compreender que a profissão escolhida a princípio não era a enfermagem. E ainda, que o formando buscou a enfermagem com a possibilidade de assistir ao ser humano, permitindo que a experiência ou convivência familiar contribuíssem para a escolha. O mercado de trabalho promissor, identificação com os ideais da profissão após cursar o nível médio em enfermagem, satisfação e crescimento profissional foram motivos relevantes no momento da opção pelo Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem. Considera-se que a Fenomenologia Social possibilitou a compreensão do mundo da vida dos formandos, atores sociais do estudo, por meio de atribuição de significados, resgate de valores e história biográfica em um cenário econômico, cultural e social.This study aimed at understanding the reasons that led the students who graduated from Faculdade Marechal Rondon in 2008 to choose the Undergraduate Nursing Program. To that end, a qualitative approach was used with basis on Social Phenomenology as proposed by Alfred Schütz. Through the descriptions obtained, it was possible to unveil the “reasons for” and “reasons why” given by the graduate students. Ten graduate students participated in the study. Their interviews were taped and then used to unveil the phenomenon by using the following guiding question: For what reasons did you choose the nursing program? Next, the concrete categories of the experience lived were defined and denominated as: Nursing as a second option, Nursing Care, Family Influence, Work Market, Professional Identity and Fulfillment. When analyzing the first category, it was possible to understand that the profession chosen at first was not nursing and that the graduate students sought for nursing as a possibility to assist human beings, allowing their experience and family living to contribute to their choice. A promising work market, identification with the profession’s ideals after completing a vocational nursing course, satisfaction and professional development were relevant reasons when choosing the Undergraduate Nursing Program. It is considered that Social Phenomenology enabled to understand the world in the lives of graduate students, the social players in this study, by attributing meanings, recovering values and biographical histories in an economic, cultural and social scenario
Caracterizando o perfil das crianças atendidas em uma unidade saúde da família
RESUMO O primeiro ano de vida da criança é um período marcado por intenso crescimento e desenvolvimento, podendo ser considerado de grande importância à criança e ao adolescente sobre os aspectos biológico, afetivo, psíquico e social. Os objetivos dessa pesquisa foram caracterizar, por meio dos parâmetros peso, estatura e perímetro cefálico, o perfil das crianças de zero a um ano de idade atendidas em uma Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) do município de Botucatu, interior Paulista e descrever o perfil das consultas de crianças atendidas no primeiro ano de vida. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, retrospectiva e com análise de 34 prontuários usando instrumento pré-elaborado pela pesquisadora. Os resultados encontrados nessa pesquisa permitiram identificar que nesta unidade de saúde há um grande número de consultas extras, bastante faltosos, poucas crianças com no mínimo sete consultas de puericultura no primeiro ano de vida e todos os parâmetros de normalidade adequados. Conclui-se que há déficit no registro dos dados e poucas informações nos prontuários (como por exemplo, escolaridade materna e o percentil Perímetro Cefálico após os sete meses de vida). Palavras-chave: Recém-nascido, Crescimento, Lactente, Enfermagem. ABSTRACT The first year of a child is a time of considerable growth and development. It can be considered of paramount importance to the child and adolescent when it comes to the biological, affective, psychic, and social aspects. The following study intended to characterize, through weigh, height, and cephalic perimeter, the profile of children from zero to one year of age seen in a health center that is focused on family needs (USF) in the county of Botucatu, in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It also described the profile of the doctor appointments of such children. It is a quantitative and retrospective study and it analyzed 34 medical records by using an analysis tool previously prepared by the researcher. The results showed that the health center has many extra appointments, many patients miss their appointments, a few children have at least seven puericulture appointments in their first year of life and a few children have all suitable adequate parameters. It was concluded that there is a deficit of data and little information in the medical records (such as the mother’s educational background and the cephalic perimeter percentile after seven months of life).

O objetivo é compreender a importância da espiritualidade e religiosidade na experiência vivenciada por mulheres com câncer de mama submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico. Utilizou-se abordagem qualitativa e técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Contou com a participação de 13 mulheres. A coleta dos dados ocorreu por meio da entrevista áudio gravada digitalmente e foi norteada pela questão: como foi, em sua opinião, enfrentar a doença desde o diagnóstico até o tratamento cirúrgico, focando na sua espiritualidade e religiosidade? A análise de conteúdo demonstrou a importância da espiritualidade e religiosidade no enfrentamento e tratamento cirúrgico do câncer e determinou as categorias: “A fé como alicerce”, “Prática religiosa”, “Doença e morte como determinação de Deus”, “Deus como fonte de força e esperança”, “Momentos de revolta com Deus”, “A cura atribuída por Deus como graça e milagre”, “Proximidade com a crença diante do adoecer”, “A importância de um olhar holístico da enfermagem”. O câncer de mama afeta não só a dimensão física das mulheres, mas os aspectos emocionais, sociais e familiares. Neste sentido, a religiosidade e a espiritualidade foram alternativas buscadas pelas mulheres para enfrentar a doença, enqunto a fé proporcionou a esperança da cura.

Low frequency of SARS-CoV2 infection in daycare centers during the reopening of school activities in the Southeast’s poor area of Brazil
SARS-Cov2 has already infected over 482 million people and caused more than 6.1 million deaths. The beginning of the pandemic has led the health authorities of several countries to adopt non-pharmacological preventive measures such as daycare closures. The reopening took place when the country had the highest rates of infection and mortality (mainly due to the gamma variant (P.1) outbreak) and the beginning of the vaccination program. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of SARS-CoV2 in daycare after educational activities resumed. The study was conducted in seven childcare facilities. Swab samples from the nasopharynx were collected from children and staff members. The viral RNA was obtained through PureLink RNA extraction kit purification and SARS-CoV2 presence was detected using the All plex SARS-CoV2 kit. The study population included 201 participants, including daycare workers and children. The average age of the workers and children is 40 and 3 years old, respectively. Among the children, 47.5% are female and among the workers, 91.4%. One (0.5%) test came out positive for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, which was from a sample of an asymptomatic childcare worker, and no secondary infections were detected. Considering that the return to daycare activities occurred during a period with a high number of deaths and a lack of vaccines throughout the country, the small number of cases indicates the effectiveness of the several preventive measures used by daycare centers in preventing SARS-CoV2 transmission
