A situação social do idoso no Brasil: uma breve consideração

ABSTRACT The national and international literature suggest that the process of becoming old in an issue of great interest for researchers,statisticians, and epidemiologists. The literature shows that the population of elderly worldwide is increasing rapidly. Particularly incountries in development, this population has been increasing significantly but the resources and support systems necessary to attendthis population is not expanding at the same rate. Therefore, concerns regarding this population profile have led to many seriousdiscussions and studies to provide data to those in political position to create adequate programs and policies to attend to the specificneeds of the elderly population without isolating them from society. Thus, the goal of this paper is to discuss the social situation of theelderly in Brazil taken into consideration demographic, epidemiologic, and psychosocial. Emphasis is placed on retirement, the importanceof the family, and on the interpersonal relationships.The national and international literature suggest that the process of becoming old in an issue of great interest for researchers, statisticians, and epidemiologists.

Intraoperative nursing in bariatric surgery: integrative review

Integrative review of scientific literature study to identify and analyze the production of knowledge about clinical advances in security needs of patients during the intraoperative period of bariatric surgery. It was based on 12 selected studies in electronic databases, with descriptors previously defined. Except for two studies, the specific content of this production was composed of the general context of perioperative care. The studies highlight the possible state of the art of nursing activities on these needs, which are well established, including recommendations by several guidelines. However, they are fundamentally based on the science of traditional clinical practice through the development of rational judgments issued by experts. It concludes for the relevance of primary studies to evaluate the impact and resolution of the identified resources to answer those needs, as well as improving or generating other innovative features and identification of new needs.Integrative review of scientific literature study to identify and analyze the production of knowledge about clinical advances in security needs of patients during the intraoperative period of bariatric surgery.

Skin lesions in the intraoperative period of cardiac surgery: incidence and characterization

The main objective of this exploratory, descriptive cohort study was to verify the incidence of patients submitted to cardiac surgery who developed skin lesions during the intraoperative period, and characterize the lesions. Data collection was performed at the Surgery Department of a public teaching hospital, of tertiary health care, mostly surgical, specialized in cardiology, and located in São Paulo. The study sample consisted of 182 patients. The study was performed with a significant p (<0.05) in nonparametric statistical tests. The incidence found for patients submitted to cardiac surgery who developed skin lesions due to the preoperative period was 20.9%. It was observed that 19.2% of lesions were Pressure Ulcers (PU) in stage I; 1.1% of lesions were abrasive; 1.1% incisive; 0.5% lacerative; 0.5% superficial electrical burns; and 0.5% PU in stage II.Neste estudo exploratorio, descritivo e de coorte o objetivo principal foi verificar a incidencia de pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardiaca que desenvolveram lesoes de pele no periodo intra-operatorio, caracterizar as lesoes. A coleta de dados foi realizada no Centro Cirurgico (CC) de um hospital publico de ensino, de atencao terciaria a saude, predominantemente cirurgico, especializado em cardiologia no Municipio de Sao Paulo. A amostra do estudo foi de 182 pacientes. O estudo foi feito com um p significativo (<0,05) frente aos testes estatisticos nao-parametricos. Quanto a incidencia de pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardiaca, que desenvolveram lesoes de pele em decorrencia do periodo intra-operatorio, obteve-se incidencia de 20,9%. Tivemos que 19,2% das lesoes apresentaram-se como Ulceras por Pressao (UP) no estagio I; 1,1% das lesoes caracterizaram-se como abrasao; 1,1% feridas incisas; 0,5% laceracao; 0,5% queimadura eletrica superficial e 0,5% UP no estagio II.

Adultos com fraturas: das implicações funcionais e cirúrgicas à educação em saúde

Este estudo objetivou identificar as implicacoes funcionais e cirurgicas relativas a pacientes adultos com fraturas, caracterizar o perfil sociodemografico da amostra do estudo, avaliar a independencia funcional das vitimas de fraturas e discutir as implicacoes relacionadas aos procedimentos cirurgicos envolvidos no tratamento a esses pacientes. A pesquisa foi realizada entre novembro de 2006 e abril de 2007 com 74 pacientes internados em um hospital de Sao Paulo. Foram predominantes individuos do sexo masculino (91,9%), media de idade de 31,8 anos, brancos (51,3%), vitimas de acidentes de trabalho (51,4%). As fraturas de membros inferiores representaram 73,0% dos casos e membros superiores 13,5%. Os acidentes automobilisticos foram responsaveis por 58,1% das internacoes. Quanto a Medida de Independencia Funcional (MIF), houve aumento nas medias dos valores no decorrer da avaliacao. Por outro lado, ha diminuicao desses valores em casos de acidentes automobilisticos e atropelamentos e naqueles em que os membros inferiores sao atingidos.
