ABSTRACT Biochar can promote crop production and soil quality. However, its characteristics depend on the waste used in its production and its effects may vary according to the species being cultivated and the management adopted. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of biochar from animal waste on soil quality and the agronomic characteristics of the cowpea. An experiment was set up to test three types of biochar (bovine-BB, swine-SB and poultry-BP), with added fertiliser (BBF, SBF and BPF) and two control treatments, including the addition of calcium magnesium oxide (CT) and calcium magnesium oxide with fertiliser (CTF), giving a total of eight treatments with four replications. There was a respective increase of up to 102.94%, 1048%, 1560% and 360.22% in stem diameter, number of pods, number of grains per pod and stem dry matter from adding the biochar. The poultry biochar increased each of the above parameters even with no added fertiliser. There was no difference in basal soil respiration or β-glucosidase enzyme activity, whereas organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), microbial carbon and soil labile carbon were greater with biochar. BBF gave the highest TOC content (24.40 g kg-1), while BP and BPF increased TN by around 61%. The application of biochar + fertiliser contributed to an average reduction of 56% in the soil metabolic quotient. Poultry biochar favoured both the agronomic characteristics of the cowpea and soil quality, while bovine biochar showed more marked results with the addition of fertiliser.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Although Brazil has a high prevalence of retinoblastoma, there is a lack of epidemiological data on the disease. Thus, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients diagnosed with retinoblastoma in the ophthalmology department of a pediatric tertiary referral hospital in Ceara, Brazil. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted by retrospectively analyzing the clinical and socioeconomic data from the medical records of pediatric patients followed-up at the hospital between 2007 and 2021. Retinoblastoma was diagnosed on the basis of a fundoscopic or histopathologic examination. Results: The data of 105 patients were included in the study, and the mean patient age at the time of diagnosis was 1.7 years. Most of the patients were women (50.5%) and hailed from rural areas (57.4%), which was associated with a higher tumor stage. Of the 150 patients, 57.1% initially presented with leukocoria. Ocular hyperemia was associated with more advanced stages of retinoblastoma (p=0.004). Bilateral involvement was observed in 25.7% of the patients and at a significantly younger age (p=0.009). The presence of retinal detachment, vascularized lesions, and vitreous seeds significantly increased the likelihood of requiring enucleation. Discussion: This study presents an epidemiological description of retinoblastoma in Brazil, which highlights the significance of early detection. Delayed diagnosis is associated with a poorer visual prognosis and higher mortality rate, particularly in patients with unilateral disease. Risk factors for a more severe disease were retinal detachment, vascularized lesions, and vitreous seeds. The correlation between histopathological features and clinical outcomes was limited. Conclusion: Further studies are required to assess the influence of ocular hyperemia, fundoscopic assessment, and histopathologic findings on the prognosis of retinoblastoma. Moreover, it is critical to devise interventions to reduce the time-to-diagnosis in rural areas.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate exclusive breastfeeding at discharge and hospital length-of-stay in pre-term infants undergoing or not the Kangaroo-Mother Care Method (KMC). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted including preterm infants < 1800 g admitted to the neonatal unit of a KMC reference center. The infants were grouped into the KMC group and the non-KMC group. Multiple logistic and Poisson regressions were performed to evaluate the association between the KMC and two outcomes, exclusive breastfeeding at discharge, and hospital length-of-stay, adjusted for potential confounders. Results: 115 mother-infant dyads were included, 78 in the KMC group and 37 in the non-KMC group. In the bivariate analysis, the KMC group had a lower prevalence of maternal adverse conditions (6% vs. 32%, p < 0.001), a higher number of prenatal visits (median 6 vs. 3.5, p < 0.001), higher gestational ages (median 32 vs. 31 weeks, p < 0.05), higher birth weights (median 1530 vs. 1365 g, p < 0.01), a lower prevalence of necrotizing enterocolitis (3.8% vs. 16.2%, p < 0.05), parenteral nutrition (50% vs. 73%, p < 0.05), and deep vascular access (49.7% vs. 78.4%, p < 0.01), a higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (65% vs. 8%, p < 0.001) and a shorter length of hospital stay (median 28 vs. 42 days, p < 0.001). In the multiple regression analysis, the KMC group was 23 times more likely to be exclusively breastfed at discharge (OR = 23.1; 95% CI = 4,85–109,93) and had a 19% reduction in the hospital length-of-stay (IDR = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.76–0.86) compared to the non-KMC group. Conclusions: The KMC is associated with better short-term neonatal outcomes and should be encouraged in all Brazilian maternity hospitals.

ABSTRACT Introduction/framework/objectives Most professionals working in Occupational Health and Safety have some notions regarding the distribution of Occupational Accidents versus gender, however, not all have had the opportunity to consult reasonably up-to-date data on this subject. The aim of this review was to clearly summarize not only some articles that addressed this subject, but also to have access to national and European statistical data. Methodology This is a Bibliographic Review, initiated through a search carried out in May 2023 in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina and RCAAP”. The websites of Pordata and the National Institute of Statistics were also consulted. Content There are anatomical and physiological differences between genders, namely body size and shape, musculature and metabolism, which can modulate certain occupational issues, such as choosing and staying in certain jobs. Incidentally, in the same section of work, sometimes both genders take on different tasks and/or perform them in different ways. 98.8% of accidents in absolute numbers occur in males, as this is obviously much more prevalent in the industrial and construction sectors, areas where there is a higher accident rate. Discussion and Conclusions Accidents at work are more frequent and serious among men, not only due to the type of tasks that exist in positions predominantly assumed by this gender, but also due to the personality and influence of society and culture, which generally encourages more in this context to need to defy danger and/or be more acceptable not following the rules. Adherence to the proposed Safety measures varies with the Perception of Risk and the influence of the work team, management and society. As more of this global interference is taken into account, the greater the ability of the Occupational Health and Safety team to mitigate the incidence and severity of Occupational Accidents and thus obtain a safer workplace, and these measures must be different between the male and female sexes.

RESUMO Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos A generalidade dos profissionais a exercer na Saúde e Segurança Ocupacionais tem algumas noções relativas à distribuição dos Acidentes Laborais versus sexo, contudo, nem todos terão tido oportunidade de consultar dados razoavelmente atualizados sobre esse assunto. Pretendeu-se com esta revisão resumir de forma clara, não só alguns artigos que abordassem este assunto, como também ter acesso a dados estatísticos nacionais e europeus nesta área. Metodologia Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em maio de 2023 nas bases de dados “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina e RCAAP”. Foram também consultados os sites da Pordata e do Instituto Nacional de Estatística. Conteúdo Existem diferenças anátomo-fisiológicas entre os géneros, nomeadamente tamanho e formato corporal, musculatura e metabolização, que podem modular determinadas questões ocupacionais, como a escolha e permanência em alguns postos laborais. Aliás, na mesma secção de trabalho, por vezes os dois géneros assumem tarefas diferentes e/ou executam-nas de formas diversas. Em números absolutos, 98,8% dos acidentes ocorrem no sexo masculino, por este ser obviamente muito mais prevalente nos setores industrial e da construção, áreas essas onde existe uma maior sinistralidade. Discussão e Conclusões Os acidentes de trabalho são mais frequentes e graves no sexo masculino, não só devido ao tipo de tarefas que existem nos postos assumidos predominantemente por este género, mas também devido à personalidade e influência da sociedade e cultura que, geralmente, incentiva mais neste contexto a necessidade de desafiar o perigo e/ou ser mais aceitável não cumprir as regras. A adesão às medidas de Segurança propostas varia com a Perceção de Risco e a influência da equipa de trabalho, chefia e sociedade. Quanto mais esta globalidade de interferências for levada em conta, maior a capacidade da equipa de Saúde e Segurança Ocupacionais para atenuar a incidência e gravidade dos Acidentes Laborais e assim se obter um local de trabalho mais seguro, sendo que essas medidas deverão ser distintas entre os sexos masculino e feminino.

Abstract Sever’s disease, or calcaneal apophysitis, results from a local inflammatory process at the calcaneal growth plate and is one of the most common causes of disabling heel pain in physically active children. Herein is described the case of a ten-year-old child with chronic insidious pain in the left heel associated with physical activity. Physical examination led to the diagnosis of Sever’s disease. After appropriate treatment, a marked improvement in the child’s clinical status was noted. As a common cause of heel pain in children, this condition can be identified and diagnosed in primary care, with the family physician being responsible for its management and explaining its benign nature.

Resumo A doença de Sever, ou apofisite do calcâneo, resulta de um processo inflamatório local a nível da placa de crescimento do calcâneo e representa uma das causas mais comuns de dor incapacitante no calcanhar em crianças fisicamente ativas. É apresentado o caso de uma criança de dez anos com dor crónica e insidiosa do calcanhar esquerdo associada à prática de atividade física. O exame objetivo corroborou o diagnóstico de doença de Sever. Após tratamento adequado, verificou-se uma clara melhoria do estado clínico da criança. Sendo uma causa comum de dor no calcanhar em crianças, esta patologia pode ser encontrada e identificada nos cuidados primários, sendo a abordagem e explicação da sua natureza benigna da responsabilidade do médico de família.

Abstract Introduction and Objectives: Oral food challenges (OFC) are the gold standard for the diagnosis of food allergy. The aim of this study was to characterize and analyze the OFCs performed in the Pediatric Department of the study hospital. Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent OFCs in the pediatric department of the study hospital from October 2016 to December 2021. All non-IgE-mediated reactions were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences®. Results: A total of 301 OFCs were performed on a total of 172 patients during the study period. Most patients were preschool children (<6 years; 79.4%) and 40.1% had more than one OFC. The most frequently tested allergens were hen’s egg (26.2%), tree nuts (16.9%), and cow’s milk (16.7%). The positivity rate was 23.2%. Tests for milk and wheat were significantly associated with a positive result. The main reason for OFC testing was to establish a diagnosis (60.1%), but also to assess tolerance (25.6%) and to document the responsiveness threshold (14.3%). Most positive reactions were local/grade I (25.7%) or moderate/grade II (58.6%). Patients with a personal history of atopic comorbidities were more likely to have a positive test result (p=0.022), especially those with atopic dermatitis (p=0.022). Discussion and Conclusion: Most OFCs in this analysis were negative. Early recognition of food allergy resolution is essential to prevent unnecessary allergen avoidance. An increased risk of positive reactions to milk or wheat, or in the setting of a personal history of atopic dermatitis, should be considered.

Resumo Introdução e Objetivos: A prova de provocação oral é o gold standard para o diagnóstico de alergia alimentar. Este estudo pretendeu caracterizar e analisar as provas efetuadas no Serviço de Pediatria de um hospital de nível II. Material e Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo dos doentes submetidos a provas de provocação oral entre outubro 2016 e dezembro 2021 num hospital de nível II. As reações não mediadas por IgE foram excluídas. A análise estatística foi realizada através do software IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences®. Resultados: Foram realizadas 301 provas num total de 172 doentes. A maioria dos doentes eram crianças com idade <6 anos (79,4%) e 40,1% realizou duas ou mais provas. Os alergénios mais frequentemente testados foram ovo (26,2%), frutos secos (16,9%) e leite de vaca (16,7%). Constatou-se que 23,2% das provas foram positivas. Verificou-se uma associação estatisticamente significativa entre as provas realizadas para o leite e trigo e a obtenção de um resultado positivo. Relativamente ao objetivo das provas, 60,1% destinavam-se a estabelecer o diagnóstico, 25,6% a avaliar a tolerância e 14,3% a documentar o limiar de reatividade. A maioria das reações positivas foram locais/grau I (25,7%) ou moderadas/grau II (58,6%). Foi identificada uma associação estatisticamente significativa entre antecedentes de atopia e um resultado positivo nas provas (p=0,022), particularmente antecedentes de dermatite atópica (p=0,022). Discussão: A maioria das provas realizadas foram negativas. O reconhecimento atempado da resolução de uma alergia alimentar permite suspender a evicção desnecessária de alergénios suspeitos. Deve ser considerado o risco acrescido de uma reação positiva com leite, trigo ou em contexto de antecedentes pessoais de dermatite atópica.

ABSTRACT Cuba has worked on the development of photovoltaic energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The residential sector has embraced the modality of installing solar panels on the roofs of their homes in order to reduce their rates. Unconsumed energy can be sold to the national electrical grid. In the study, through scenario analysis, with the Homer Pro, the approximate time to recover the initial investment and obtain profits was determined by evaluating its technical-economic viability with the objective of recovering the investment in 7 to 8 years. At provide a clear vision of how the study, when considering local conditions and needs, offers specific recommendations on adjusting tariffs to encourage investment in solar energy and highlights its relevance within the Havana context, so that prosumers can recover their investment in solar energy less time.

Abstract Background After recently published randomized clinical trials, the choice of the best anesthetic procedure for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) is not definite. Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of general anesthesia (GA) versus conscious sedation (CS) in patients with AIS who underwent MT, explicitly focusing on procedural and clinical outcomes and the incidence of adverse events. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing GA versus CS in patients who underwent MT due to LVO-AIS. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for binary outcomes, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Random effects models were used for all outcomes. Heterogeneity was assessed with I2 statistics. Results Eight RCTs (1,300 patients) were included, of whom 650 (50%) underwent GA. Recanalization success was significantly higher in the GA group (OR 1.68; 95% CI 1.26–2.24; p < 0.04) than in CS. No significant difference between groups were found for good functional recovery (OR 1.13; IC 95% 0.76–1.67; p = 0.56), incidence of pneumonia (OR 1.23; IC 95% 0.56- 2,69; p = 0.61), three-month mortality (OR 0.99; IC 95% 0.73–1.34; p = 0.95), or cerebral hemorrhage (OR 0.97; IC 95% 0.68–1.38; p = 0.88). Conclusion Despite the increase in recanalization success rates in the GA group, GA and CS show similar rates of good functional recovery, three-month mortality, incidence of pneumonia, and cerebral hemorrhage in patients undergoing MT.

Resumo Antecedentes A trombectomia mecânica (TM) é o padrão de tratamento para pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico agudo (AVCI) devido à oclusão de grandes vasos (OGV). No entanto, ainda não está claro qual é o procedimento anestésico mais benéfico para a TM. Objetivo Nosso objetivo foi comparar a eficácia e a segurança da anestesia geral (AG) versus sedação consciente (SC) em pacientes com AVCI submetidos à TM, focando especificamente nos resultados procedimentais e clínicos, bem como na incidência de eventos adversos. Métodos Foram realizadas buscas sistemáticas nas bases PubMed, Embase e Cochrane por ensaios clínicos randomizados (ECRs) comparando AG versus SC em pacientes submetidos à TM devido a AVCI por OGV. Razões de chances (ORs) foram calculadas para desfechos binários, com intervalos de confiança de 95% (ICs). Modelos de efeitos aleatórios foram usados para todos os resultados. A heterogeneidade foi avaliada com estatísticas I2. Resultados Oito ensaios clínicos randomizados (1.300 pacientes) foram incluídos, dos quais 650 (50%) foram submetidos à AG. O sucesso da recanalização foi significativamente maior no grupo AG (OR 1,68; IC 95% 1,26–2,24; p < 0,04) em comparação com SC. No entanto, não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos para recuperação funcional adequada (OR 1,13; IC 95% 0,76–1,67; p = 0,56), incidência de pneumonia (OR 1,23; IC 95% 0,56- 2,69; p = 0,61), mortalidade em três meses (OR 0,99; IC 95% 0,73- 1,34; p = 0,95) ou hemorragia cerebral (OR 0,97; IC 95% 0,68- 1,38; p = 0,88). Conclusão Apesar do aumento significativo nas taxas de sucesso de recanalização no grupo AG, AG e SC mostram taxas semelhantes de recuperação funcional, mortalidade, pneumonia e hemorragia em pacientes com AVCI submetidos à TM.

Abstract This observational study aimed to describe and analyze data from two external evaluations of the National Program for Improving Access to and Quality of Dental Specialty Centers (PMAQ CEO), held in 2014 and 2018 in Brazil, which evaluated Dental Specialty Centers (CEO) using a national and census approach. We selected questions through a search in the microdata of the first and second evaluations. The groups were analyzed independently. To compare the groups, nonparametric tests were performed (Mann Whitney U). The formulated hypotheses were: there would be no differences between the data of these groups (h0) and there would be differences between the data of these groups (h1). For qualitative nominal variables, frequency distribution was verified and association tests were performed (chi-square test). The significance level for this study was set at 5%. We observed that orthodontic treatments were found in about 13% of the CEO. Regarding human resources, most professionals were specialists or had MSc or PhD degrees; were civil servants; had been hired by direct administration; or had been hired via public tender. Regarding the work process and inclusion of the CEO in the health care network, we observed a greater number of services that use single and electronic medical records, greater presence of services monitoring and analyzing goals, greater knowledge about monthly average of absenteeism (for 2018); and larger number of services with referrals from primary health care centers (for 2014). Expanding the view on orthodontics and including preventive, interceptive, and corrective treatments at different points in health care networks are essential strategies for achieving comprehensive care in universal health systems.

Abstract Introduction Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder, with main manifestations related to communication, social interaction, and behavioral patterns. The slight dynamics of change in the child over time require that the onset of clinical manifestations presented by the child be more valued, with the aim of stabilizing the condition. Faced with a variety of methods for diagnosing ASD, the question arises as to which method should be used. This systematic review aims to recommend the best tools to perform screening and diagnosis. Methodology This systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines. The databases MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL (Cochrane), and Lilacs were accessed, and gray and manual searches were performed. The search strategy was created with terms referring to autism and the diagnosis/broad filter. The studies were qualitatively evaluated and quantitatively. Statistical analysis was performed using Meta-diSc-2.0 software, the confidence interval was 95 %. Results The M-CHAT-R/F tool demonstrated a sensitivity of 78 % (95 % CI 0.57‒0.91) and specificity of 0.98 (95 % CI 0.88-1.00). The diagnostic tools demonstrated sensitivity and specificity respectively of: ADOS, sensitivity of 87 % (95 % CI 0.79‒0.92) and specificity 75 % (95 % CI 0.73‒0.78); ADI-R demonstrated test sensitivity of 77 % (95 % CI 0.56‒0.90) and specificity 68 % (95 % CI 0.52‒0.81), CARS test sensitivity was 89 % (95 % CI 0.78‒0.95) and specificity 79 % (95 % CI 0.65‒0.88). Conclusion It is mandatory to apply a screening test, the most recommended being the M-CHAT-R/F. For diagnosis CARS and ADOS are the most recommended tools.

Abstract Background: The increasing demand for organ donors and proficient experts is prompting fresh research endeavors aimed at clarifying societal perceptions and actions related to organ donation. Students from the healthcare area have been a focal point in these studies. Despite their favorable attitudes, a notable gap in knowledge among students has been underscored. Objective: To assess the level of knowledge, willingness, and attitudes toward organ donation among medical and nursing students in the city of Recife, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was undertaken, involving the examination of questionnaires that were answered by medical and nursing students during their last academic years. Results: Between February and December 2022, a total of 218 questionnaires were gathered, of which 208 were included in the final sample. Among the participants, 57.2% identified as male, with an average age of 24 ± 2.7 years. In terms of academic background, 85.1% were enrolled in medical school, while 14.9% were attending nursing school. A notable observation was that only 49% of the students were aware that the diagnosis of brain death does not necessarily require the involvement of a neurologist. Furthermore, a significant proportion of students (63%) were unfamiliar with the entity responsible for initiating discussions with the potential donor’s family. Interestingly, 92.3% of the students had contemplated the prospect of becoming organ donors themselves. If a family member were diagnosed with brain death, a significant majority of students, specifically 83.2%, expressed their willingness to grant consent for organ donation. Conclusions: Despite the positive attitudes, this study revealed insufficient knowledge among students, thereby underscoring the need for universities to expand their curricula and establish courses aimed at acquiring knowledge and skills related to brain death cases and actions related to potential donors.

Resumo Introdução: A necessidade crescente de doadores de órgãos e de profissionais capacitados impulsiona novos estudos que esclareçam o entendimento e comportamento da sociedade perante a doação de órgãos. Estudantes de saúde vêm sendo alvo de estudos por seu influente papel social e, além disso, quando formados, farão parte de etapas fundamentais da doação. Contudo, evidencia-se conhecimento insuficiente dos estudantes apesar de possuírem atitude positiva. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o grau de conhecimento, desejo e atitude perante as doações de órgãos entre os acadêmicos de Medicina e Enfermagem na cidade de Recife, em Pernambuco. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado a partir da análise de questionários respondidos por estudantes de Enfermagem e Medicina nos últimos períodos acadêmicos. Além de dados demográficos, os estudantes foram questionados quanto ao entendimento sobre aspectos da validação de possível doador, diretrizes do protocolo de morte encefálica, motivações e opções pessoais em relação à doação de órgãos. Resultado: De fevereiro a dezembro de 2022, 218 questionários foram coletados, dos quais 208 entraram para a amostra. Dentre os estudantes, 57,2% eram do sexo masculino, a média de idade foi de 24 ± 2,7 anos. Dos graduandos, 85,1% cursavam Medicina, e 14,9%, Enfermagem. Apenas 49% dos estudantes sabiam da não necessidade de neurologista para o diagnóstico de morte encefálica. Ademais, 63% não sabiam quem é o responsável por abordar a família do potencial doador. Grande parte dos acadêmicos já considerou a possibilidade de ser doador de órgãos, representando 92,3% do total de estudantes avaliados. Dos alunos, 67% afirmaram já ter conversado com as próprias famílias sobre a doação de órgãos e que elas conheciam essa decisão. Em caso de familiar apresentar diagnóstico de morte encefálica, 83,2% dos alunos consentiram a doação. Em relação aos possíveis benefícios materiais ou emocionais para a família do doador, 86,1% julgam que a doação de órgãos pode trazer algum benefício. Conclusão: Apesar da atitude positiva, o estudo evidenciou conhecimento insuficiente dos alunos, reforçando a necessidade de ampliação do currículo das universidades e criação de cadeiras direcionadas à aquisição de conhecimento e habilidades quanto à condução de casos de morte encefálica e atuação perante os potenciais doadores.

Abstract Childcare was evaluated in the ESF in a municipality that is the headquarters of a health macro-region in the Brazilian Northeast. An evaluative study was carried out with two levels of analysis: municipal and local management. The local assessment was deepened in four EqSF through interviews with managers, professionals and postpartum women, document analysis and non-participant observation. The data sources were triangulated and processed in the Nvivo software, and the empirical material was compared with an objective situation according to the research analysis levels and prepared by the researchers. At the municipal level, the clear definition of assignments for childcare care points and assistance flows was one of the most critical criteria and, at the local level, the integration of actions with other primary services, counter-referral and collective educational actions in the territory. The implementation of childcare practices in EqSF is strongly dependent on political-organizational determinants between the municipal and local levels, and the results shown here may apply to other municipal health systems with similar configurations. This study contributed to the evaluation of childcare based on the proposition of criteria that considered municipal and local interdependence in the organization of actions to evaluate child growth and development. macroregion macro region Northeast management managers women nonparticipant non participant observation software researchers level services counterreferral counter referral territory politicalorganizational political organizational configurations development

Resumo Avaliou-se a puericultura na ESF em município-sede de macrorregião de saúde do Nordeste brasileiro. Realizou-se estudo avaliativo com dois níveis de análise: a gestão municipal e local. Aprofundou-se a avaliação local em quatro EqSF mediante entrevistas com gestores, profissionais e puérperas, análise documental e observação não-participante. As fontes de dados foram trianguladas e processadas no software Nvivo, e o material empírico cotejado com uma situação-objetivo segundo os níveis de análise da pesquisa e elaborada pelos pesquisadores. No nível municipal, a definição clara de atribuições para os pontos de atenção em puericultura e fluxos assistenciais foi um dos critérios mais críticos e, no âmbito local, a integração de ações com outros serviços primários, a contrarreferência e ações educativas coletivas no território. A implementação das práticas de puericultura nas EqSF é fortemente dependente dos determinantes político-organizacionais entre o âmbito municipal e local, e os resultados aqui evidenciados podem se aplicar a outros sistemas municipais de saúde com configurações semelhantes. Este estudo contribuiu para a avaliação da puericultura sustentada na proposição de critérios que consideraram a interdependência municipal e local na organização das ações de avaliação do crescimento e desenvolvimento infantil.
