ABSTRACT Introduction Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can be vertically transmitted from mother to fetus. We evaluated knowledge about HCV vertical transmission in female blood donors who became pregnant following detection of HCV in their donated blood. Methods This was a retrospective descriptive study of females seen at a single blood bank in Sao Paulo, Brazil who were diagnosed with HCV infection in their donated blood. HCV-infected donors who subsequently became pregnant were invited to participate through letters or phone calls. Individuals who agreed to participate were interviewed by questionnaire to evaluate their knowledge on HCV vertical transmission. Results Among 282 HCV-positive female blood donors, 69 reported becoming pregnant after their HCV diagnosis in donated blood. While 24 of these women were successful treated for their infection prior to becoming pregnant, 45 (65.2%) were at risk for vertical HCV transmission either because they had never been treated for HCV, were pregnant before treatment or became pregnant after unsuccessful treatment. Of the 59 women who responded to the question of whether they were informed about the risk of HCV vertical transmission, 58 (98.3%) reported never receiving this information either after obtaining their blood donation results or during their pregnancy. Conclusion The lack of knowledge of HCV-infected women on the possibility for mother-to-child transmission of this virus highlights the critical need to improve communication about pregnancy-related risks between health professionals and HCV-infected women of childbearing age.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar as respostas de pacientes e fatores associados quanto a itens do checklist de cirurgia segura. Identificar o uso antes e após a implantação de um protocolo a partir dos registros. Métodos: estudo de coorte realizado entre 2014-2016 com 397 pessoas na etapa I e 257 na etapa II, 12 meses depois da implementação, totalizando 654 pacientes. Os dados foram obtidos mediante entrevista estruturada. Paralelamente, realizaram-se 450 avaliações de checklist em prontuários de instituições públicas de saúde, da Região de Saúde Sudoeste II, Goiás. Resultados: seis itens foram avaliados da lista, e todos apresentaram diferenças (p < 0,000). Em 69,9% dos prontuários continham o checklist na etapa I, e, após a capacitação, foi identificado em 96,5% dos registros, tendo melhor completude. O checklist, foi associado à cirurgia realizada na segunda etapa, depois da ação educativa, (RP; 1,38; IC95%: 1,25-1,51; p < 0,000), ao hospital de médio porte, (RP; 1,11; IC95%; 1,0-1,17; p < 0,001); sexo masculino (RP; 1,07; IC95%; 1,0-1,14; p < 0,010), tipo de cirurgia, (RP; 1,7; IC95%: 1,07-1,14; p < 0,014) e antibioticoprofilaxia de 30 a 60 min após a incisão (RP; 1,10; IC95%: 1,04-1,17; p < 0,000) e 30 a 60 min após o término da cirurgia (RP; 1,23; IC95%: 1,04-1,45; p = 0,015). Conclusões: a estratégia de implantação do checklist de cirurgia segura nas instituições de pequeno e médio foram relevantes e associadas a uma melhoria a partir das respostas dos pacientes, na disponibilização e maior completude dos dados.

ABSTRACT Objective: assess patient responses and associated factors of items on a safe surgery checklist, and identify use before and after protocol implementation from the records. Methods: a cohort study conducted from 2014 to 2016 with 397 individuals in stage I and 257 in stage II, 12 months after implementation, totaling 654 patients. Data were obtained in structured interviews. In parallel, 450 checklist assessments were performed in medical records from public health institutions in the Southwest II Health Region of Goiás state, Brazil. Results: six items from the checklist were evaluated and all of these exhibited differences (p < 0.000). Of the medical records analyzed, 69.9% contained the checklist in stage I and 96.5% in stage II, with better data completeness. In stage II, after training, the checklist was associated with surgery (OR; 1.38; IC95%: 1.25-1.51; p < 0.000), medium-sized hospital (OR; 1.11; CI95%; 1.0-1.17; p < 0.001), male gender (OR; 1.07; CI95%; 1.0-1.14; p < 0.010), type of surgery (OR; 1.7; CI95%: 1.07-1.14; p < 0.014) and antibiotic prophylaxis 30 to 60 min after incision (OR; 1.10; CI95%: 1.04-1.17; p < 0.000) and 30 to 60 min after surgery (OR; 1.23; CI95%: 1.04-1.45; p = 0.015). Conclusions: the implementation strategy of the safe surgery checklist in small and medium-sized healthcare institutions was relevant and associated with better responses based on patient, data availability and completeness of the data.

RESUMO: Introdução: A atenção primária à saúde (APS) deve assumir a centralidade do cuidado para que os sistemas de saúde atendam às necessidades de saúde da população e as resolvam. Objetivo: Avaliar a APS com base em seus atributos, sob a perspectiva dos profissionais, por meio do instrumento de avaliação da atenção primária à saúde (primary care assessment tool - PCATool), verificando fatores que se associam à melhor atenção. Metodologia: Estudo transversal realizado com 41 enfermeiros e 31 médicos na região sudoeste II do estado de Goiás mediante entrevistas com o instrumento PCATool. Análise bivariada e múltipla por meio da regressão linear foi utilizada para verificar os fatores associados aos atributos da APS. Resultados: O menor escore geral de APS foi para o atributo acesso de primeiro contato (3,71). A análise bivariada e múltipla mostrou diferença estatística entre as variáveis profissão e os escores essencial, derivado e geral. Médicos do Programa Mais Médicos apresentaram maiores pontuações médias (7,68 essencial; 9,11 derivado; 8,04 geral) quando comparados aos outros profissionais médicos e enfermeiros. Conclusões: Evidenciou-se alto escore geral para os atributos, exceto para o acesso de primeiro contato. O tempo de formação acadêmica e de trabalho mostrou-se satisfatório. Consideram-se fatores associados entre formação, qualificação profissional e os atributos da APS o fato de pertencer ao Programa Mais Médicos e o nível da formação acadêmica, pontos que estiveram relacionados à obtenção de melhores escores.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Primary health care must assume the centrality of care so that health systems address and solve the health needs of the population. Objective: To evaluate the quality of primary health care from the perspective of health professionals, including those associated with the Mais Médicos Brasil Program, verifying associations between quality of services and professional qualification. Methodology: A cross-sectional study where interviews with health professionals were carried out. The quality of care was measured by means of interviews about the experience of doctors and nurses with the services, using the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool-Brasil). The presence and the extension of the primary health care attributes of the Southwest II region of Goiás state, constituted by 10 municipalities, were investigated. Results: The lowest APS Overall Score was for the first contact access attribute (3.71). The bivariate analysis showed statistical difference between the variables profession and the essential, derived and general scores. Doctors of the More Doctors Program had higher average scores (7,68 essential; 9,11 derivative; 8,04 general) when compared to other medical professionals and nurses. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of permanent evaluation of health services, especially primary care, due to its importance and centrality to the organization of other levels of care. Only from this monitoring is possible a better management orientation for strategic and resolutive investments.

Abstract Objective: to verify the association between recurrence of accidents with biological materials and the profile of the workers of Health Institutions. Methods: descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional, quantitative, performed in the Specialized Assistance Service, with 73 workers from health institutions that suffered an accident with material biological. A questionnaire with characteristics related to work and accidents was used, which were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: the variables age, time of action, weekly workload and work unit were associated to recurrence of accidents (p <0.05). More than once workers were injured more than 41 years old, with more experience and less than 40 hours a week. The prevalence of accidents increased by 11% (RP: 1.11) month/work, with reexposure being 66% lower (PR: 0.24) for the workload between 40-59hs. Conclusions: the results suggest that the recurrence of accidents may be related to the greater time of professional experience and the workload less than 40 hours per week.
