Development of terminological subset for people with covid-19 sequelae

Objectives: to develop a terminological subset of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) for people with covid-19 sequelae.® Method: methodological study, which followed the steps: Identification of the relevant terms contained in the literature related to Covid-19 sequelae; Cross-mapping of the terms identified in the review with the terms of the classification; Construction of the statements of diagnoses, outcomes and nursing interventions and mapping of the constructed statements; Content validation of the statements by specialist nurses; and Structuring of the subset based on Roy’s Adaptation Model. For data analysis, the Content Validity Index was used, and the statements with Content Validity Index were validated ≥ 0.80. Content validation was performed by 28 specialist nurses. Results: 178 statements of nursing diagnoses/outcomes were constructed, with 450 nursing intervention statements. After content validation, a quantity of 127 diagnoses/outcomes and 148 nursing interventions were obtained, which comprised the terminological subset proposed in the study. Conclusion: the validated statements that make up the terminological subset with greater predominance were those outlines in the physiological adaptive mode. However, the repercussions on the spiritual, social and personal dimensions are also highlighted.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Estrutura fitossociológica de um fragmento de Cerrado sensu-stricto no sul do Tocantins

O bioma Cerrado ocupa uma área de aproximadamente dois milhões de quilômetros quadrados, localizado na região central do Brasil. O desenvolvimento deste trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a composição florística e fitossociológica, bem como quantificar a necromassa e lianas em um fragmento de Cerrado sensu stricto. Em uma área de 3,6 hectares, por meio de censo, foram identificados indivíduos arbóreos com circunferência a altura do peito (CAP) maior ou igual a 15 cm, que tiveram sua altura medida. Na área, também foi mensurada a necromassa disposta sobre o solo que se encontrava na área e com diâmetro de no mínimo 2 cm. Além disso, foram medidas as lianas lenhosas com diâmetros ≥ 1 cm a 1,30 m de altura. Foram identificados 8.943 indivíduos, pertencentes a 75 espécies, 69 gêneros e 33 famílias das quais predominaram as famílias Vochysiaceae e Fabaceae. A densidade total da área e área basal foram, respectivamente, de 2.484 ind.ha-1 e 13,95 m².ha-1. O índice de diversidade de Shannon (H’) foi de 3,39 e equabilidade de Pielou (J’) 0,8. Foram medidos um total de 1.547 peças lenhosas caídas sobre o solo e suspensas sobre as árvores com uma densidade total de 430 peças.ha-1, sendo a maioria composta por galhos. Em relação as lianas, foram identificados 2.174 lianas (604 ind.ha-1), com uma biomassa média de 16,81 Mg.ha-1. Houve alta riqueza de espécies e heterogeneidade de distribuição; maior abundância de necromassa e lianas em diâmetros menores que está relacionada à estrutura da área que se encontra

A implementação de práticas de educação em saúde voltadas para grupo de idosos: um relato de experiência / The implementation of educational practices aimed for elderly group: an experience report

O presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar experiências de extensionistas de Enfermagem, no desenvolver de práticas de educação em saúde com aposentados e pensionistas do Projeto Viver Melhor, do Instituto Municipal de Previdência Social dos Servidores de Mossoró (PREVI Mossoró). As referidas práticas tiveram como norte possibilitar a troca de saberes e influencie na formação de seres sociais, causando impactos positivos tanto para os extensionistas quanto do público alvo, no que concerne à prevenção, proteção e promoção da saúde. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, que utilizou-se da pesquisa bibliográfica a fim de dar suporte teórico as discussões. Foram desenvolvidas quatro Oficinas de educação em saúde, onde os temas abordados puderam ser selecionados considerando análise realizada pelos extensionistas a partir de vivências com o público, onde viu-se a necessidade de abordagem das temáticas escolhidas, sendo estas Suporte Básico de Vida, Práticas Naturais em Saúde, Valorização da Vida e outra ocasião destinada para esclarecimentos, preenchimento e entrega da Caderneta de Saúde da Pessoa Idosa. Considerando o exposto, pode-se afirmar que as ações foram realizadas com sucesso e cumpriram seus objetivos de prevenção e promoção a saúde. Este estudo, abre, ainda, a possibilidade de implementação de práticas em saúde voltadas para grupos de idosos, expondo benefícios não só para o público, mas também para a comunidade acadêmica

Analysis of the Impact of Communication Campaigns under the Project “Syphilis No”: A National Tool for Inducing and Promoting Health

Syphilis is increasingly prevalent around the world as a result of complex factors. In Brazil, the government declared a syphilis epidemic in 2016 and then set a strategic agenda to respond to this serious public health problem. In a joint effort, Brazil’s Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) recommended that novel and diversified health communication strategies should be developed, which the “Syphilis No” project (SNP) later conducted through nationwide mass communication campaigns. We performed exploratory data analysis to identify and understand the results of three health communication campaigns by considering syphilis data trends in Brazil. The SNP, by using traditional and innovative means of communication, focused on multiple target audiences to encourage behavior changes through awareness and syphilis knowledge acquisition via the internet. In addition, the SNP disseminated information on syphilis testing, prevention, and treatment through social media and multiple media outlets. We observed that the period of the health campaigns corresponded to the period when the syphilis testing uptake increased and the number of reported cases dropped. Thus, our findings indicate that public health responses could substantially benefit from the use of health communication campaigns as a tool for health promotion, education, and transformation

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
