Resumen Objetivo: Analizar la evidencia científica sobre el uso de la tarjeta de gestante en la práctica clínica. Método: Esta es una revisión integradora, cuya búsqueda en la literatura tuvo lugar en abril de 2019, a través de la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: artículos originales, disponibles íntegramente y en portugués, inglés o español. La búsqueda resultó en un total de 416 artículos, de los cuales 8 fueron seleccionados para análisis. Resultados: Los artículos seleccionados se publicaron entre 2004 y 2017. Todos presentaron un enfoque cuantitativo, se publicaron en portugués, en revistas electrónicas en las áreas de Salud Pública, Ginecología y Obstetricia, Enfermería y Ciencias de la Salud. Del análisis de los artículos surgieron tres ejes temáticos: calidad de los registros en la tarjeta de la mujer embarazada; acuerdo entre los registros en la tarjeta de la mujer embarazada, el registro médico y la memoria materna; y uso de la tarjeta por mujeres embarazadas. Conclusión: Se constató que la tarjeta de la mujer embarazada se ha utilizado de manera insatisfactoria, en vista de la incompletitud y/o ilegibilidad de los registros.

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar as evidências científicas acerca da utilização do cartão da gestante na prática clínica. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, cuja busca das produções ocorreu em abril de 2019, por meio da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos originais, disponíveis na íntegra e nos idiomas português, inglês ou espanhol. A busca resultou em um total de 416 artigos, dos quais 8 foram selecionados para análise. Resultados: Os artigos selecionados foram publicados entre 2004 e 2017. Todos apresentaram abordagem quantitativa, foram publicados no idioma português, em revistas eletrônicas nas áreas de Saúde Pública, Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, Enfermagem e Ciências da Saúde. Da análise dos artigos emergiram três seções: qualidade dos registros no cartão da gestante; concordância entre registros no cartão da gestante, prontuário e recordatório materno; e uso do cartão pelas gestantes. Conclusão: Constatou-se que o cartão da gestante vem sendo utilizado de maneira insatisfatória, tendo em vista a incompletude e/ou ilegibilidade dos registros.

Abstract Objective: Analyze the scientific evidence about the use of the pregnant woman's card in clinical practice. Method: This is an integrative review, whose literature search took place in April 2019, through the Virtual Health Library. The inclusion criteria were: original articles, available in full and in Portuguese, English or Spanish. The search resulted in a total of 416 articles, of which 8 were selected for analysis. Results: The selected articles were published between 2004 and 2017. All presented a quantitative approach, were published in Portuguese, in electronic journals in the areas of Public Health, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Nursing and Health Sciences. From the analysis of the articles, three thematic axes emerged: quality of the records on the pregnant woman's card; agreement between records on the pregnant woman's card, medical record and maternal recall; and use of the card by pregnant women. Conclusion: It was found that the pregnant woman's card has been used in an unsatisfactory way, in view of the incompleteness and/or illegibility of the records.

BACKGROUND Knowledge on synanthropic phlebotomines and their natural infection by Leishmania is necessary for the identification of potential areas for leishmaniasis occurrence. OBJECTIVE To analyse the occurrence of Phlebotominae in gallery forests and household units (HUs) in the city of Palmas and to determine the rate of natural infection by trypanosomatids. METHODS Gallery forests and adjacent household areas were sampled on July (dry season) and November (rainy season) in 2014. The total sampling effort was 960 HP light traps and eight Shannon traps. Trypanosomatids were detected in Phlebotominae females through the amplification of the SSU rDNA region, and the positive samples were used in ITS1-PCR. Trypanosomatid species were identified using sequencing. FINDINGS A total of 1,527 sand flies representing 30 species were captured in which 949 (28 spp.) and 578 (22 spp.) were registered in July and November, respectively. In July, more specimens were captured in the gallery forests than in the HUs, and Nyssomyia whitmani was particularly frequent. In November, most of the specimens were found in the HUs, and again, Ny. whitmani was the predominant species. Lutzomyia longipalpis was commonly found in domestic areas, while Bichromomyia flaviscutellata was most frequent in gallery forests. Molecular analysis of 154 pools of females (752 specimens) identified Leishmania amazonensis, L. infantum, and Crithidia fasciculata in Ny. whitmani, as well as L. amazonensis in Lu. longipalpis, Trypanosoma sp. and L. amazonensis in Pintomyia christenseni, and L. amazonensis in both Psathyromyia hermanlenti and Evandromyia walkeri. MAIN CONCLUSIONS These results show the importance of gallery forests in maintaining Phlebotominae populations in the dry month, as well as their frequent occurrence in household units in the rainy month. This is the first study to identify Leishmania, Trypanosoma, and Crithidia species in Phlebotominae collected in Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil.
