RESUMO Embora as consequências do trabalho não remunerado de reprodução social tenham sido debatidas nos últimos anos, foi apenas em 2019 que os/as cuidadores/as informais romperam a “clandestinidade legal”, através da aprovação do Estatuto do Cuidador Informal. Apesar do inegável contributo deste estatuto, são várias as fragilidades apontadas, questionando-se essencialmente a falta de apoios económicos e sociais. Contudo, a problematização do lugar dos processos, recursos e serviços educativos na vida dos/as cuidadores/as informais raramente tem sido abordada, apesar das evidentes necessidades de aprendizagem deste papel. Tendo por base uma análise reflexiva da primeira autora, enquanto entrevistadora de cuidadores/as informais de sobreviventes de AVC, pretende-se explorar o lugar e o papel da educação no Estatuto do Cuidador Informal, assim como as perceções de cuidadores/as acerca deste documento legal e dos seus processos de aprendizagem. Este trabalho evidencia o hiato entre o texto político e a realidade dos/as cuidadores/as, vertendo-se no desconhecimento acerca das medidas e serviços de apoio. Embora esteja previsto o direito à (in)formação, é relatada a escassez de recursos e serviços educativos. Assim, as aprendizagens acontecem num plano experiencial, de forma inconsciente, autónoma e pouco suportada, podendo contribuir para desigualdades no campo do cuidado. Considerando a centralidade das aprendizagens ao longo da trajetória do cuidado, assim como a sobrecarga física e emocional deste papel, é essencial que políticas e práticas suportem os processos de aprendizagem dos/as cuidadores/as e que contribuam para a sua literacia e consciência cívica.

ABSTRACT Although the consequences of unpaid social reproduction work have been discussed in recent years, it was only in 2019 that informal caregivers broke the “legal clandestineness” through the approval of the Informal Caregiver Statute. Despite the undeniable contribution of this statute, there are several weaknesses pointed out, essentially questioning the lack of economic and social support. However, the questioning of the place of educational processes, resources, and services in the lives of informal caregivers has rarely been addressed, despite the evident need of learning of this role. Based on a reflective analysis by the first author, as an interviewer of informal caregivers of stroke survivors, it is intended to explore the place and role of education in the Statute of the Informal Caregiver, as well as the perceptions of caregivers about this document and their learning processes. This work highlights the gap between the political text and the reality of caregivers, resulting in a lack of knowledge about support measures and services. Although the right to information and training is foreseen, the scarcity of educational resources and services is reported. Thus, learning takes place on an experiential level, unconsciously, autonomously, and poorly supported, which can contribute to inequalities in the field of care. Considering the centrality of learning along the trajectory of care, as well as the physical and emotional burden of this role, it is essential that policies and practices support the learning processes of caregivers and contribute to their literacy and civic awareness.

RÉSUMÉ Bien que les conséquences du travail de reproduction sociale non rémunéré aient été débattu ces dernières années, ce n'est qu'en 2019 que les aidants proches ont brisé la « clandestinité légale » à travers l'approbation du Statut de l'aidant proche. Malgré l'apport indéniable de ce statut, plusieurs faiblesses sont relevées, interrogeant essentiellement sur le manque d'accompagnement économique et social. Cependant, le questionnement sur la place des processus, ressources et services éducatifs dans la vie des aidants proches a rarement été abordée, malgré les besoins évidents d'apprentissage dans ce domaine. Sur la base d'une analyse réflexive de la première auteure, en tant qu'intervieweuse d'aidants proches de personnes victimes d'un AVC, il s'agit d'explorer la place et le rôle de l'éducation dans le Statut de l'aidant proche, ainsi que les perceptions des aidants à propos de ce document, et ces processus d'apprentissage. Ce travail met en lumière le décalage entre le texte politique et la réalité des aidants, qui se traduit par une méconnaissance des mesures et services d'accompagnement. Bien que le droit à la (in)formation soit prévu, la rareté des ressources et des services éducatifs est signalée. Ainsi, l'apprentissage se fait sur un plan expérientiel, inconsciemment, de manière autonome et mal accompagnée, ce qui peut contribuer aux inégalités dans le domaine des soins. Compte tenu de la centralité de l'apprentissage tout au long du système de soin, ainsi que du fardeau physique et émotionnel engendrés par ce statut, il est essentiel que les politiques et les pratiques soutiennent les processus d'apprentissage des soignants et contribuent à leur alphabétisation et à leur conscience civique.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Optimal fluid balance in peritoneal dialysis requires adequate urinary and peritoneal water and sodium removal and restriction of dietary sodium intake (<2 g/day). We aim to study the relationship between sodium intake, blood pressure control and medication burden in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional study of chronic peritoneal dialysis patients followed in our hospital in March 2022. We estimated patient’s sodium intake according to the equations proposed by Kim et al. Mean ambulatory blood pressure was categorized in controlled, stage one, stage two and stage three hypertension. A qualitative evaluation of sodium intake was done by asking patients about their compliance with a low-salt diet. Results: Eighty-two patients: mostly men, with a mean age of 54.1±14.7 years and dialysis vintage of 26.2±18.7 months. Most patients were on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (63.4%) and the mean weekly Kt/V was 2.2±0.4. A percentage of 85.4% of our patients had residual diuresis, averaged at 1257±867 mL/day. Mean dietary sodium intake was 3.5±1.1 g; it was higher in men and patients with uncontrolled hypertension, regardless of age, dialysis vintage and other comorbidities. We found a strong correlation between dietary sodium intake and residual diuresis, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and the number of anti-hypertensive drugs. Patients with a sodium intake ≥ 3.3 g had higher risk of uncontrolled BP and higher medication burden. Qualitative evaluation of this sub-population revealed that only 2.3% (n=1) admitted non-compliance with a low-sodium diet. Conclusion: We found a strong correlation between estimated dietary sodium consumption, blood pressure control and medication burden. Most importantly, there was a striking difference between patient’s perception of sodium consumption and the actual results. Our results highlight the importance of dietary salt restriction in blood pressure control and reinforce the need for a dietary consultation in peritoneal dialysis patients.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Sleep disorders affect up to 70% of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and appear to have significant negative effects on their quality of life (QoL). We compared life and sleep quality between patients on automated PD (APD) and continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD). Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study in chronic PD patients followed in our Dialysis Unit in February 2022. We evaluated sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and QoL with EUROHIS-QOL-8. Results: Fifty-two patients, mostly men (65.4%, n=32), with a mean age of 52.7±14.2 years and PD vintage of 24.3±17.1 months. Our sample had similar distribution between APD and CAPD; we found no difference between groups regarding demographic data, PD-related quality parameters or prevalence of previous sleep disturbances. Mean QoL index was 69.9%±9.3% and similar between APD and CAPD patients; EUROHIS-QOL-8 negatively correlated with the scores on ESS (p=0.004) and PSQI (p=0.011). Regarding sleep quality, the mean ESS was 8.8±4.2 and PSQI was 7.6±3.6. APD patients had similar scores on ESS, but higher prevalence of severe daytime sleepiness (ESS≥18) (p=0.04) and higher scores on PSQI (p=0.002). Within the PSQI, sleep’ latency (p=0.003), duration (p=0.002) and efficiency (p=0.013) were the most affected parameters. Higher PSQI scores also correlated with worse blood pressure control; a cut-off value for PSQI of 6 was found to increase the risk of uncontrolled hypertension. Conclusion: In our series, APD patients had worse global sleep quality (PSQI) when compared to ACPD patients. This difference was mainly due to worse sleep latency, duration and efficiency. The assessment of the quality of life showed no difference between groups, however there was a clear link between quality of life and sleep quality.

RESUMO. Nota-se um crescente número de idosos que prestam cuidados a outros idosos. A sobrecarga e o estresse comumente existentes podem afetar de formas diferentes o desempenho cognitivo, a depender do contexto desses idosos cuidadores. Objetivo: Comparar o desempenho cognitivo, a sobrecarga e o estresse de idosos cuidadores de idosos com e sem indícios de alterações cognitivas. Métodos: Estudo transversal e quantitativo realizado com 205 idosos cuidadores de idosos com indícios de alterações cognitivas e 113 idosos cuidadores de idosos sem indícios de alterações cognitivas atendidos na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Eles foram avaliados quanto às características sociodemográficas, cognição, sobrecarga e estresse. Análises descritivas (teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov) e comparativas foram realizadas (teste t de Student e χ² de Pearson). Resultados: Os idosos cuidadores de idosos com indícios de alterações cognitivas eram mais velhos, com menor escolaridade e maior percentual de horas diárias de cuidado em comparação aos idosos cuidadores de idosos sem indícios de alterações cognitivas. Já quanto ao desempenho cognitivo, as médias foram inferiores para todos os domínios. Além disso, esse mesmo grupo apresentou maior pontuação, com diferença estatisticamente significante, para o estresse percebido e para a sobrecarga. Conclusão: Os cuidadores de idosos com indícios apresentaram menor desempenho cognitivo e maiores níveis de sobrecarga e estresse. Tais achados norteiam o planejamento de intervenções voltadas aos idosos cuidadores na Atenção Primaria à Saúde.

ABSTRACT. There is an increasing number of aged people who provide care for other older people. Commonly existing burden and stress can change the forms of cognitive performance depending on the context of the aged caregivers. Objective: To compare the cognitive performance, burden and stress of aged caregivers of older adults with and without signs of cognitive impairment. Methods: A cross-sectional and quantitative study conducted with 205 aged caregivers of older adults with signs of cognitive impairment and 113 aged caregivers of older adults without signs of cognitive impairment treated in Primary Health Care. They were evaluated for sociodemographic characteristics, cognition, burden, and stress. Descriptive (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) and comparative (Student's t-test and Pearson's χ² test) analyses were performed. Results: Aged caregivers of older adults with signs of cognitive impairment were older, had lower schooling levels, and a higher percentage of daily care hours compared to the aged caregivers of older adults without signs of cognitive impairment. Regarding cognitive performance, the means were lower for all domains. In addition, this same group had higher scores, with a statistically significant difference for perceived stress and burden. Conclusion: Aged caregivers of older adults with signs of cognitive impairment showed lower cognitive performance, as well as higher burden and stress levels. These findings guide the planning of interventions with aged caregivers in the Primary Health Care.

Abstract The task of caring can negatively affect the physical and mental health; therefore, it is important to understand which factors are associated with burden in older caregivers of older adults. Objective: This study aimed to explore sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors associated with burden in older caregivers of older adults. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study developed with 349 older caregivers who were registered at a Family Health Unit of a city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Household interviews were conducted and data were collected on the sociodemographic (profile, family income), clinical (self-reported pain, sleep, frailty), and psychosocial (burden, family functioning, depressive symptoms, stress) characteristics of the caregivers as well as dependence on activities of daily living and cognition in the care recipients. Results: Women predominated in the sample (76.5%) and mean age was 69.5 years. The mean burden score was 18.06 points, with 47.9% above the cutoff of 16 points, denoting excessive burden. The bivariate model revealed associations between burden and financial insufficiency, family dysfunction, difficulty sleeping, pain, perceived stress, depressive symptoms, frailty, and multimorbidity among the caregivers as well as worse functional and cognitive performance in the care recipients. The controlled model revealed an association between burden and depressive symptoms (β=16.75; 95%CI 1.80–31.68). Conclusions: We identified an association between burden and depressive symptoms, underscoring the need for the planning and implementation of specific actions directed at caregivers in order to minimize the impact on health and to improve the quality of life.

RESUMO A tarefa de cuidar pode afetar negativamente a saúde física e mental, sendo importante compreender quais os fatores associados à sobrecarga em idosos cuidadores de idosos. Objetivo: Explorar os fatores sociodemográficos, clínicos e psicossociais associados à sobrecarga em idosos cuidadores de idosos. Métodos: Estudo transversal desenvolvido com 349 idosos cuidadores cadastrados nas unidades de Saúde da Família de um município do interior paulista. Foram realizadas entrevistas domiciliares e coletados dados sobre as informações sociodemográficas (perfil, renda familiar), clínicas (dor autorrelatada, sono, fragilidade) e psicossociais (sobrecarga, funcionalidade familiar, sintomas depressivos, estresse) do cuidador, bem como dados de funcionalidade e cognição dos receptores de cuidados. Resultados: Houve prevalência do sexo feminino (76,5%), com média de idade de 69,5 anos. A média do escore da sobrecarga foi 18,06 pontos, com 47,9% dos idosos cuidadores acima da nota de corte de 16 pontos. O modelo univariado revelou associação entre sobrecarga e percepção de insuficiência financeira, disfunção familiar, dificuldade de dormir, dor, estresse percebido, sintomas depressivos, fragilidade e multimorbidade, além de pior desempenho funcional e cognitivo dos idosos receptores de cuidados. No modelo controlado houve associação entre sobrecarga e sintomas de depressão (β=16,75; intervalo de confiança — IC95% 1,80–31,68). Conclusão: Identificamos associação entre sobrecarga e sintomas depressivos, de modo que é necessário planejar e implementar cuidados específicos a fim de minimizar o impacto na saúde dos cuidadores e favorecer a qualidade de vida.

ABSTRACT. Unpaid caregivers of people living with dementia tend to suffer mental health problems as a result of the negative effects associated with the care tasks. Thus, psychosocial interventions for this population group are necessary. iSupport is an online support program for caregivers that was created by the World Health Organization. Objective: To describe the design of a randomized clinical trial to measure the efficacy of the iSupport-Brasil version on caregivers’ mental health and well-being. Methods: The participants will be randomized into Intervention Group (IG) (n=195) and Control Group (CG) (n=195). For three months, the IG will access the iSupport-Brasil platform, the CG will enter the electronic page of the Brazilian Alzheimer’s Association, and both groups will be emailed the preliminary version of the “Guia de cuidados para a pessoa idosa” e-book (a guide to providing care to the elderly) from the Ministry of Health. The data will be collected at three moments: baseline, and three and six months after the beginning of the intervention. Results: It is expected that it will be possible to provide diverse validity evidence about iSupport-Brasil as an online and free intervention alternative, as a preventive means and as a way to promote mental health among caregivers of people living with dementia. Conclusion: Through the evaluation protocol of this randomized clinical trial on the effects of the iSupport-Brasil program, it may become a reference for countries that plan to adapt and improve the iSupport program using digital health solutions.

RESUMO. Cuidadores informais de pessoas que vivem com demência tendem a sofrer problemas de saúde mental como resultado dos efeitos negativos associados às tarefas de cuidado. Assim, intervenções psicossociais para essa população são necessárias. O iSupport é um programa de apoio online para cuidadores criado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. Objetivo: Descrever o desenho de um ensaio clínico randomizado para medir a eficácia da versão iSupport-Brasil na saúde mental e no bem-estar de cuidadores. Métodos: Os participantes serão randomizados em Grupo Intervenção (GI) (n=195) e Grupo Controle (GC) (n=195). Durante três meses, o GI acessará a plataforma iSupport-Brasil, o CG entrará na página eletrônica da Associação Brasileira de Alzheimer e ambos os grupos receberão por e-mail a versão preliminar do e-book Guia de cuidados para a pessoa idosa, do Ministério da Saúde. Os dados serão coletados em três momentos: linha de base, três e seis meses após o início da intervenção. Resultados: Espera-se que seja possível fornecer diversas evidências sobre os efeitos do iSupport-Brasil como alternativa de intervenção online e gratuita, de forma a promover a saúde mental entre os cuidadores de pessoas que vivem com demência. Conclusão: O protocolo de avaliação deste ensaio clínico randomizado sobre os efeitos do programa iSupport-Brasil pode se tornar uma referência para os países que planejam adaptar e melhorar esta intervenção, usando soluções digitais de saúde.

BACKGROUND In Brazil, the yellow fever virus (YFV) is maintained in a sylvatic cycle involving wild mosquitoes and non-human primates (NHPs). The virus is endemic to the Amazon region; however, waves of epidemic expansion reaching other Brazilian states sporadically occur, eventually causing spillovers to humans. OBJECTIVES To report a surveillance effort that led to the first confirmation of YFV in NHPs in the state of Minas Gerais (MG), Southeast region, in 2021. METHODS A surveillance network was created, encompassing the technology of smartphone applications and coordinated actions of several research institutions and health services to monitor and investigate NHP epizootics. FINDINGS When alerts were spread through the network, samples from NHPs were collected and YFV infection confirmed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and genome sequencing at an interval of only 10 days. Near-complete genomes were generated using the Nanopore MinION sequencer. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that viral genomes were related to the South American genotype I, clustering with a genome detected in the Amazon region (state of Pará) in 2017, named YFVPA/MG sub-lineage. Fast YFV confirmation potentialised vaccination campaigns. MAIN CONCLUSIONS A new YFV introduction was detected in MG 6 years after the beginning of the major outbreak reported in the state (2015-2018). The YFV strain was not related to the sub-lineages previously reported in MG. No human cases have been reported, suggesting the importance of coordinated surveillance of NHPs using available technologies and supporting laboratories to ensure a quick response and implementation of contingency measures to avoid YFV spillover to humans.

Resumo Objetivo Rever a evidência sobre a necessidade de suplementação universal de ferro na gravidez para prevenção de anemia materna. Métodos Pesquisa bibliográfica de ensaios clínicos aleatorizados e controlados, metanálises, revisões sistemáticas e normas de orientação clínica, publicados entre agosto de 2009 e agosto de 2019, utilizando os termos MeSH: iron, terapêuticas use; pregnancy; anemia, preventivos and control. Resultados Incluímos seis normas de orientação clínica, três metanálises e um ensaio clínico randomizado e controlado. Discussão A maioria dos artigos aponta para a melhoria dos parâmetros hematológicos e redução do risco de anemia materna por meio da suplementação com ferro. Conclusões A suplementação universal com ferro na gravidez é controversa, pelo que atribuímos uma força de recomendação SORT C.

Abstract Objective To review the evidence about universal iron supplementation in pregnancy to prevent maternal anemia. Methods Bibliographic research of randomized and controlled clinical trials, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and clinical guidelines, published between August 2009 and August 2019, using the MeSH terms: iron; therapeutic use; pregnancy; anemia, prevention and control. Results We included six clinical guidelines, three meta-analyses and one randomized controlled clinical trial. Discussion Most articles point to the improvement of hematological parameters and reduction of maternal anemia risk, with supplementary iron. However, they do not correlate this improvement in pregnant women without previous anemia with the eventual improvement of clinical parameters. Conclusion Universal iron supplementation in pregnancy is controversial, so we attribute a SORT C recommendation strength.

Resumo 24. O carcinoma do úraco é uma neoplasia rara e agressiva, que envolve o úraco, um remanescente do trato genito-urinário fetal que se estende desde o umbigo à cúpula vesical. 25. Aqui apresentamos uma mulher de 49 anos com história de desconforto pélvico e massa supra-púbica palpável. A ecografia pélvica e a ressonância magnética revelaram uma massa supravesical na linha média de 55 mm, com origem no úraco e que se estendia inferiormente para a bexiga. As características da massa e a sua localização favoreceram o diagnóstico de carcinoma do úraco. Sem evidência de metástases regionais ou à distância. A doente foi submetida a ressecção cirúrgica do tumor e o exame histopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma do úraco tipo entérico. 26. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um caso de adenocarcinoma primário do úraco, descrever a sua epidemiologia e características clínicas, bem como ilustrar os principais achados de imagem juntamente com a correlação anatomo- patológica.

Abstract 17. Urachal carcinoma is a rare and aggressive neoplasm, involving the urachus, a remnant of the fetal genitourinary tract that extends from the umbilicus to the dome of the bladder. 18. We present a 49-year-old woman with a history of pelvic discomfort and a palpable suprapubic mass. Pelvic ultrasound and magnetic resonance revealed a 55-mm midline supravesical mass, arising from the urachus and extending inferiorly through the bladder. The characteristics of the mass and its location favored the diagnosis of urachal carcinoma. There were no regional or distant metastases. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a non-cystic enteric type urachal adenocarcinoma. 19. The purpose of this article is to present a case of primary adenocarcinoma of the urachus, describe its epidemiology and clinical features, as well as illustrate its key imaging findings along with pathologic correlation.

Resumo: A atividade contratual pública fomenta o desenvolvimento dos Estados, promovendo a eficiência económica e a promoção do bem social e ambiental. Os contratos públicos são um instrumento de atuação administrativa para satisfazer as necessidades coletivas, mas também um instrumento estratégico para os governos. Este tipo de contratos remete para aquisições económica e socialmente relevantes, interfere na criação de emprego e no incentivo ao investimento, e tem grande relevo no orçamento nacional, representando 4,18% do PIB português em 2019. O presente estudo visa analisar a contratação pública, na última década, no que concerne à transparência dos procedimentos aquisitivos públicos e à promoção da concorrência entre operadores económicos na prossecução do interesse público. Para prosseguir esta finalidade, recorremos a metodologia qualitativa, que inclui análise documental de relatórios de contratação pública do Instituto dos Mercados Públicos, do Imobiliário e da Construção, e análise de conteúdo do material recolhido através das entrevistas a especialistas em contratação pública. Definimos dimensões de análise, categorizámos dados e criámos unidades de análise, numa matriz de codificação inicial dos dados, sistematizando as entrevistas em unidades de registo. A metodologia qualitativa visa compreender e descrever fenómenos e pode recorrer a perceções e experiências dos participantes para entender as múltiplas realidades. No que respeita aos resultados, a pesquisa permitiu-nos constatar que a transparência dos processos aquisitivos tem vindo a aumentar, havendo, todavia, pontos de melhoria, e que a abertura à concorrência, por parte das entidades adjudicantes, tem tido uma evolução favorável, mas poderá ainda atingir resultados mais elevados, dado verificar-se um recurso excessivo a ajustes diretos. O incremento da concorrência e a maior transparência na utilização do dinheiro público são benefícios da implementação do Código dos Contratos Públicos, impulsionados pela obrigatoriedade de publicitar os contratos públicos no portal BASE e pela contratação pública eletrónica.

Abstract: Public procurement fosters the development of States, promoting economic efficiency and the promotion of social and environmental good. Public procurement is an instrument of administrative action to satisfy collective needs, but also a strategic instrument for governments. This type of contracts refers to economically and socially relevant acquisitions, interferes with job creation and encourages investment, and is highly relevant in the national budget, representing 4.18% of Portuguese GDP in 2019. The present study intends to analyse public procurement, in the last decade, regarding the transparency of public procurement procedures and the promotion of competition between economic operators in the attainment of the public interest. For this purpose, we use the qualitative methodology, which includes document analysis of public procurement reports from the Institute of Public Procurement, Real Estate and Construction, and content analysis of the material collected through interviews with specialists in public procurement. We defined dimensions of analysis, categorized data and created units of analysis, in an initial data coding matrix, and systematizing the interviews in recording units. The qualitative methodology aims to understand and describe phenomena and can use the participants' perceptions and experiences to understand the multiple realities. Regarding the results, this work made it possible to verify that the transparency of procurement processes has been increasing, however, there are points for improvement, and that the opening to competition, by the contracting entities, has had a favourable evolution, but it can obtain superior results, as there is an excessive use of the direct award. Increased competition and greater transparency in the use of public money are benefits from the implementation of the Public Contracts Code, driven by the obligation to advertise public contracts on the BASE portal and by electronic public procurement.

RESUMO Objetivo: identificar a associação entre as características da rede de apoio e o desempenho cognitivo de cuidadores idosos e comparar características entre cuidadores e não cuidadores. Método: foram avaliados 85 idosos cuidadores e 84 idosos não cuidadores cadastrados em unidades da atenção primária de saúde quanto às características sociodemográficas, cognitivas e suporte social. Foi realizada análise de regressão linear múltipla. Resultados: entre os não cuidadores, foram encontradas associações significativas entre melhor desempenho cognitivo e receber apoio emocional/afetivo; cada aumento de um ponto no escore de apoio emocional e escore de suporte afetivo foi relacionado a um aumento de 0,43 pontos e 0,39 pontos na avaliação cognitiva, respectivamente. Entre os cuidadores mais velhos, cada aumento de um ponto na pontuação do apoio emocional teve relação com um aumento de 0,55 ponto na avaliação cognitiva. Conclusão: o fortalecimento das redes de apoio de cuidadores mais velhos e o incentivo a trocas satisfatórias de apoio social podem auxiliar na melhoria do desempenho cognitivo, o que pode impactar positivamente na saúde dos cuidadores.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the association between the characteristics of the support network and cognitive performance of older caregivers and compare characteristics between caregivers and non-caregivers. Methods: we evaluated 85 older caregivers and 84 older non-caregivers registered with primary care units regarding sociodemographic characteristics, cognition, and social support. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed. Results: among non-caregivers, significant associations were found between a better cognitive performance and receiving emotional/affectionate support; each one-point increase in the emotional support score and affectionate support score was related to a 0.43-point and 0.39-point increase in cognitive assessment, respectively. Among older caregivers, each one-point increase in the emotional support score was related to a 0.55-point increase in cognitive assessment. Conclusion: strengthening the support networks of older caregivers and encouraging satisfactory exchanges of social support can assist in improving cognitive performance, which can have a positive impact on caregivers’ health.

ABSTRACT This study aims to report the diagnostic course and treatment of a fast-growing mycobacteria infection after cesarean delivery. We report the case of a 37-year-old woman admitted to the Infectious Diseases’ Clinic of the Hospital das Clinicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Pernambuco State, Brazil, four months after a cesarean section, presenting with healing difficulties and located pain outside the surgical site. The first diagnosis was a probable rejection of the sutures that were not absorbed, but based on the clinical signs, reported history, complementary laboratory tests and no response to treatment with the conventional antibiotic therapy (cephalosporins/quinolones) prescribed, the ultimate diagnosis was a mycobacteriosis caused by Micobacterium fortuitum. Since fast-growing mycobacteria do not easily penetrate host tissues, they is mainly related to post-trauma or post-surgical procedures. It is extremely important to call attention to these occurrences in the gynecological-obsthetric field. Treatment for mycobacteriosis is often complicated because of the side effects of antibiotics, especially the ototoxicity of amikacin.

Objetivo: analisar a relação entre a duração do sono noturno autorrelatada e o desempenho cognitivo de idosos. Método: a amostra foi constituída por 156 idosos cadastrados em Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF) de um munícipio paulista divididos em quartis segundo a duração do sono noturno. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário de caracterização, Exame Cognitivo de Addenbrooke – Revisado (ACE-R) e Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI). Foram feitas análises estatísticas descritivas, comparativas e correlacionais. Resultados: os idosos obtiveram média de 61,94 pontos no ACE-R e 55,1% apresentavam boa qualidade de sono. As análises comparativas evidenciaram diferenças entre os grupos apenas no domínio cognitivo fluência verbal (p=0,018). As análises post-hoc apontaram que idosos que dormiam maior número de horas, em média 8,85 horas (Q1), tinham escores inferiores quando comparados aos idosos que dormiam em média 6,11 horas (Q3) (p=0,004) e 4,52 horas (Q4) (p=0,045). O modelo ajustado com aplicação do método stepwise apontou relação das variáveis independentes escolaridade e duração do sono com o domínio fluência verbal. Conclusão: conclui-se que a duração do sono tem relação com o domínio cognitivo fluência verbal.

Objective: to analyze the relationship between the duration of self-reported night sleep and the cognitive performance of older adults. Method: the sample consisted of 156 older adults registered in Family Health Units (FHUs) in a city of São Paulo, divided into quartiles according to the duration of night sleep. Data collection was performed using a characterization questionnaire, Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Exam – Revised (ACE-R) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Descriptive, comparative and correlational statistical analyses were performed. Results: the older adults obtained a mean of 61.94 points in ACE-R and 55.1% presented good sleep quality. Comparative analyses showed differences between the groups only in the cognitive domain of verbal fluency (p=0.018). The post-hoc analyses showed that older adults who slept more hours, a mean of 8.85 hours (Q1), had lower scores when compared to those who slept a mean of 6.11 hours (Q3) (p=0.004) and of 4.52 hours (Q4) (p=0.045). The adjusted model with application of the stepwise method showed a relationship between the independent variables of schooling and sleep duration and the domain verbal fluency. Conclusion: it is concluded that sleep duration is related to the verbal fluency cognitive domain.

RESUMO. Dados os benefícios da função familiar adequada para a saúde e o bem-estar de pessoas idosas, é importante compreender quais fatores predizem o funcionamento familiar adequado em pessoas idosas que cuidam de seus cônjuges. Objetivo: Analisar preditores de funcionamento familiar em idosos cuidadores de cônjuges idosos. Métodos: Um estudo transversal foi usado para investigar uma amostra não probabilística de 298 cuidadores cônjuges idosos. Foram realizadas entrevistas domiciliares para avaliar variáveis sociodemográficas e situação de cuidado, funcionamento familiar (APGAR familiar), função cognitiva, percepção de estresse e sintomas depressivos. Os dados coletados foram analisados por meio de regressão logística múltipla com método stepwise forward para seleção das variáveis. Resultados: Idosos cuidadores com algum grau de comprometimento cognitivo (OR=-0,160, IC95% 0,444–0,579), sintomas depressivos (OR=-0,848, IC95% 0,726–0,992) ou altos níveis de estresse (OR=-0,955, IC95% 0,914-0,999) tiveram menores níveis de funcionamento familiar. Ter mais filhos esteve relacionado a maiores níveis de funcionamento familiar em aproximadamente 1,3 vez (IC95% 1,080–1,057). Conclusão: A presença de estresse, depressão, declínio cognitivo e número de filhos são preditores do funcionamento familiar e devem ser considerados como parte de estratégias sociais e de saúde no contexto de cuidado familiar.

ABSTRACT. Given the benefits of adequate family function for the health and well-being of older adults, it is important to understand what factors predict adequate family function in older people who care for their spouses. Objective: Analyse predictors of family function in older spousal caregivers. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to investigate a non-probabilistic sample of 298 older spousal caregivers. Home-based face-to-face interviews were used to evaluate sociodemographic variables and care context, family function (Family APGAR), cognitive function, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms. Data were analysed using multiple logistic regression with stepwise forward method for variable section. Results: Older caregivers having some degree of cognitive impairment (OR=-0.160, 95%CI 0.444–0.579), depressive symptoms (OR=-0.848, 95%CI 0.726–0.992) or high levels of stress (OR=-0.955, 95%CI 0.914-0.999) had overall lower levels of family function. Having more children was linked to approximately 1.3 times higher family function (95%CI 1.080–1.057). Conclusion: Stress, depression, cognitive decline, and number of children are predictors of family function and should be considered in social and health care strategies within the family caregiving context.
