Construction and validation of educational materials for the prevention of metabolic syndrome in adolescents

Objective: To develop and validate an educational technology focused on prevention of metabolic syndrome among adolescents. Methods: This was methodological research. Using an integrative review, the available publications on the subject were analyzed. Then, this knowledge was used to describe the theoretical content and, with the help of a graphic designer, the art and layout of the pages were developed. In the third phase, the booklet was evaluated and validated by 21 specialists and 39 adolescents. Data collection included three different questionnaires, according to the focus of evaluation of each group of participants, analyzed for reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha) and agreement by Infraclass Correlation Coefficient. Results: The mean score attributed by technical content experts was 91.7%, and the content validity index, measured by experts responses, was 0.98, showing high reliability and agreement. In addition, the level of agreement of the positive responses given by adolescents was 88.4%. Conclusion: the educational booklet has proved to be a valid and reliable tool to be used for promoting adolescent health.Objetivo: Construir y validar una tecnología educativa volcada para prevención del síndrome metabólico entre adolescentes. Métodos: Se trata de una investigación metodológica. Al principio, a través de revisión integrativa, se analizaron las publicaciones disponibles sobre el tema. A continuación, se utilizó este conocimiento para la construcción del contenido teórico abordado y, con ayuda de un diseñador gráfico, se elaboró el arte y la composición de las páginas. En la tercera fase, se dio la validación del material construido, 21 especialistas y 39 adolescentes evaluaron la cartilla. Para la recogida de datos se utilizaron tres cuestionarios distintos de acuerdo con el foco de evaluación de cada grupo de participantes, analizados en cuanto a la fiabilidad (Alpha de Cronbach) y concordancia (Coeficiente de Correlación Intraclase). Resultados: la media de las puntuaciones atribuidas por los jueces de contenido y técnicos fue del 91.7%; el Índice de Validez de Contenido global, valorado a través de las respuestas de los jueces en diseño, fue del 0.98, ambos con fiabilidad de escala y concordancia de las respuestas altas. Además, el nivel de conformidad de las respuestas positivas dadas por los adolescentes fue del 88.4%. Conclusión: la cartilla educativa se mostró como un instrumento válido y fiable para ser utilizada en el fomento de la salud de los adolescentes.Objetivo: construir e validar tecnologia educativa voltada para prevenção de síndrome metabólica entre adolescentes.

Objetivo: relacionar el conocimiento, la práctica y los impedimentos del autocuidado de los pies en personas con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2, de acuerdo con sexo y nivel de estudios.Método: estudio transversal y analítico realizado con 102 usuarios de 4 unidades básicas de una ciudad del interior de Piauí, Brasil. Se recolectaron datos sociodemográficos y clínicos entre diciembre de 2018 y julio de 2019, y se los analizó en forma descriptiva por medio de la prueba de chi-cuadrado.Resultados: las mujeres presentaron mayor conocimiento y práctica en las siguientes acciones de autocuidado: hidratación (p<0,001), secado del espacio entre los dedos de los pies después de bañarse (p=0,020), hidratación de los pies con cremas/aceites hidrantes en los talones (p<0,001), hidratación de la planta de los pies (p=0,003) y uso de calzado macizo y cerrado (p=0,001); en los hombres se observó uso frecuente de calcetines (p<0,001) y medias de algodón (p<0,001). Se registró una asociación entre nivel de estudios y uso de tacones de más de 5 cm (p=0,001) y menos de 5 cm (p<0,001).Conclusión: se espera que este estudio haga posible una nueva modalidad de enfoque, con vistas a adquirir y perfeccionar acciones de autocuidado

Vivências do aleitamento materno em nutrizes positivas para COVID-19: Experiences of breastfeeding in positive nurses for COVID-19

A pandemia trouxe repercussões tanto maternas como perinatias, afetando atitudes, escollhas e resultados em relação à alimentação infantil ainda pouco exclarecidos pela literatura. Assim o objetivo deste estudo é compreender as práticas de aleitamento materno em nutrizes positivas para COVID-19. Trata-se de um estudo descrito de natureza qualitativa realizado com onze nutrizes durante a pandemia da COVID-19 contactadas via telefone. O presente estudo encontrou que as nutrizes mantiveram o aleitamento materno após o diagnóstico de covid, contudo a grande maioria sentiu muito medo e incertezas quanto a prática da amamentação, com poucas orientações dos profissionais de saúde. Conclusão: As orientações devem ser reforçadas e fortalecidas pela equipe de saúde, sobretudo dos enfermeiros, de forma a acompanhar e promover a saúde do binômio mãe-bebê e suas famílias

Convalescent plasma for COVID-19 in hospitalised patients : an open-label, randomised clinical trial

Background: The effects of convalescent plasma (CP) therapy in hospitalised patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain uncertain. This study investigates the effect of CP on clinical improvement in these patients. Methods: This is an investigator-initiated, randomised, parallel arm, open-label, superiority clinical trial. Patients were randomly (1:1) assigned to two infusions of CP plus standard of care (SOC) or SOC alone. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with clinical improvement 28 days after enrolment. Results: A total of 160 (80 in each arm) patients (66.3% critically ill, 33.7% severely ill) completed the trial. The median (interquartile range (IQR)) age was 60.5 (48–68) years; 58.1% were male and the median (IQR) time from symptom onset to randomisation was 10 (8–12) days. Neutralising antibody titres >1:80 were present in 133 (83.1%) patients at baseline. The proportion of patients with clinical improvement on day 28 was 61.3% in the CP+SOC group and 65.0% in the SOC group (difference −3.7%, 95% CI −18.8–11.3%). The results were similar in the severe and critically ill subgroups. There was no significant difference between CP+SOC and SOC groups in pre-specified secondary outcomes, including 28-day mortality, days alive and free of respiratory support and duration of invasive ventilatory support. Inflammatory and other laboratory marker values on days 3, 7 and 14 were similar between groups. Conclusions: CP+SOC did not result in a higher proportion of clinical improvement on day 28 in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 compared to SOC alone
