PERCEPÇÕES DE ENFERMEIROS DE UNIDADES BÁSICAS DE SAÚDE QUANTO A ATUAÇÃO FRENTE AOS CASOS DE DEPRESSÃO

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand how nurses deal with depression in basic health units. Method: Qualitative research was carried out in 2020 through an open interview with 15 nurses working in basic health units in a municipality in the Brazilian Midwest region. The interviews were subjected to content analysis. Results: It was possible to see that nurses have multifactorial difficulties in dealing with cases of depression. However, they point out strategies that indicate ways to qualify their clinical practice, such as the importance of professional training and strengthening teamwork, so they are prepared and qualified to offer effective and humanized nursing care to people with depression. Conclusion: Even in the face of the challenges that have arisen, the continuity of nursing actions aimed at patients with depression and other mental disorders is fundamental, especially in contexts with a weakened mental health care network.

Persistent suffering: Living experiences of patients with rare disease: An interpretative phenomenological study.

The low prevalence of rare diseases has caused the need for studies in this field to be neglected. Regardless of the prevalence of rare diseases, many people around the world have to live with the medical, psychological, and social consequences of their condition. Individuals with rare diseases may face challenges that are different from those experienced in more common medical conditions. The life experiences of patients with rare diseases have not been sufficiently investigated. The purpose of this study was to discover the meaning of living as a person with a rare disease. This interpretative phenomenological study was conducted in 2021-2022 on 10 patients with one of the rare diseases (registered in the Atlas of Rare Diseases of Iran). Based on purposeful sampling, people with rare diseases living in Mazandaran, Golestan, and Tehran provinces were invited to participate in the study. Data collection was done using open and semi-structured interviews. The research question was exploring understanding the experience and meaning of life as a person with a rare disease. Van Manen's interpretive phenomenological approach was used to analyze the data, and the criteria of validity, transferability, and verifiability were used to ensure the trustworthiness of the research. The five main themes "permanent suffering, such as a bird in a cage, rejection, immersion in the whirlpool of thoughts, losing the feeling of life", and 10 sub-themes "nightmare, giving up, deprivation, limitation, worthlessness, being stigmatized, dark vision, confusion, continuous regret, and inferiority feeling" were extracted. The results of this study show that the suffering of the disease casts a shadow on all aspects of a patient's life with a rare disease. The effects of illness, disability, limitations, and exclusions had created a human being in a cage, whose right to live like others has been denied.

Traditional botanical knowledge: food plants from the Huni Kuĩ indigenous people, Acre, western Brazilian Amazon

Abstract The Kaxinawá indigenous people (auto-identified as the Huni Kuĩ) are native to the western Amazon, on the Brazilian border with Peru, and have an extensive biodiversity-related knowledge, which is parti of a coherent social-ecological system. Our study investigated native knowledge of edible forest plants, in three communities within the Kaxinawá Indigenous Land on the Lower Rio Jordão, Acre state, Brazil. The principal methods used were participant observation, open and semi-structured interviews and walk-in-the-woods. The study recorded 89 native food species. Some 60% are managed in food-production areas, with 56% of the recorded species have received little or no scientific study of their food potential. The role which natural systems play in Huni Kuĩ society is indicated by the management and use of a high diversity of native species, which contributes to food security and nutritional sovereignty. However, there is a progressive under-utilization and substitution of forest species, due to the introduction of cultivated exotic species and the increase in consumption of industrialized products. An enhancement of the value given to native food-plants is needed to encourage continuing autonomy of production, and diet diversification, as well as the conservation of sociobiodiversity of traditional peoples in the Amazon through sustainable management practices of the current social-ecological system.

Estrategias para la mejora de la gestión de la innovación didáctica en los docentes de la Unidad Educativa “Los Andes”

The classroom teacher's management to innovate the teaching process becomes a fundamental angle of the professional pedagogical activity in order to achieve students’ learning. Technology resources are essential to accomplish this purpose. However, this research was carried out under a study with a mixed sequential and descriptive approach, it showed serious difficulties in key aspects of didactic innovation at Los Andes School. Observation to classes and open interviews to teachers and managers were executed, the lacking teacher management was evidenced in the rare systematicity in the application of technological resources during the organization of their activities, which are little different from the usual teaching methodologies normally applied to their students. Likewise, it was also revealed by the use of classical assessment systems based only on the students' knowledge. According to the results, a proposal was developed which selects innovative technological resources that help teachers to improve their teaching process by areas of knowledge.

BULLYING BEHAVIOR TOWARDS STUDENTS IN ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: IMPLEMENTATION OF PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

This study aims to find out how to implement problem solutions to bullying behavior that tends to occur in Islamic educational institutions. Islamic educational institutions, which in their curriculum are ensured to have a lot of character education content, are considered not optimal in giving strict sanctions to students who are perpetrators of bullying and all other dishonorable acts. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. To obtain research data, researchers used open interview techniques with informants. The participants in this study were students from 4 Integrated Islamic Middle Schools in Medan City, totaling 4 students. Data triangulation techniques were also used in this study by checking records from interviews, field notes, surveys and also documentation records from various data obtained. The results of the study show that bullying that occurs in several Integrated Islamic schools does not receive serious attention, teachers and schools often ignore this behavior by not providing consequences or punishments so that bullies feel rewarded or empowered for their actions. The school should not tolerate the slightest bit of disgraceful actions committed by students so that it becomes a deterrent effect for other students and parents are also required to be responsible for providing good ethical education in the family. teachers and schools often ignore this behavior by not giving consequences or punishments so that bullies feel rewarded or empowered for their actions.

Práticas corporais e o tratamento interdisciplinar de pessoas com fibromialgia: a dádiva do cuidado

Abstract Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome characterized by chronic and diffuse musculoskeletal pain that presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to Western medical rationality. Studies highlight the role of interdisciplinary treatment (IT) and corporal practices of health (CPH) in terms of health care and reception. The acts of giving, receiving, and returning symbolic gifts of care provide sociability, recognition, and legitimacy in the health field. The objective of this article is to understand IT and CPH as a system for exchanging health care gifts that is established between people diagnosed with fibromyalgia and health professionals. This is a qualitative study carried out by applying an open interview and carrying out field observation with eight people diagnosed with fibromyalgia and a semi-open questionnaire with nine health professionals. Content Analysis led to the elaboration of a thematic category: “The triple obligation cycle of giving health care.” The constitution of the gift in the health care process occurred by an affective-therapeutic displacement to the other, a gift of hospitality, and a gift of recognition. In summary, it was possible to perceive the relevance of IT and CPH as circuits of reciprocity capable of building new social uses of the body in social instances of life.

State Security and Individual Security as Exemplified by the Recruitment of Secret Collaborators by the Polish Intelligence Service

The material scope of the research problem presented in the text encompasses the issues concerned with the possibilities for and limitations of recruiting secret collaborators by the Polish civilian intelligence service. The analysis of the problematics of secret collaboration focuses mainly on institutional and legal aspects, which can be seen in its inclusion in the systemic legal perspective, encompassing such dimensions as administrative and legal, criminal and legal, civil and legal, and ethical one. Next to the normative aspects, the text addresses sociological and psychological aspects of recruiting secret collaborators by special services, thereby depicting the main recruitment methods. The methodology adopted is chiefly based on the institutional and legal approach, in which use is made of, inter alia, textual, functional and systemic interpretations. The problem of possible abuse concerned with the recruitment of secret collaborators by special services is illustrated with an abstract case study and a relevant legal interpretation. Besides, to extend the analysis of psychological and sociological aspects of recruiting secret collaborators, the study uses limited open interviews with former officers of the civilian special services operating in Poland before 1990.

Composers’ Reflections on the Relevance of Artistic Doctoral Education in Finland

As Artistic Research (AR) is gaining momentum in academia and the movement has begun to affect the industry, in this qualitative study we ask how contemporary art music composers in Finland think of artistic doctoral education in the field of composition. Ten bigenerational composers participated in open interviews in which they were asked to reflect on AR both as a discipline and as a pathway in doctoral studies in relation to composers’ professional practice. A qualitative thematic analysis based on the “dialogic engagement practice” approach revealed certain benefits and challenges related to a) doctoral studies in AR, and b) the dynamics between composition and AR. In particular, participants noted a division between doctoral candidates enrolled in AR doctoral programs for self-focused artistic introspection (single-loop-learning) and those who connect their studies with activist and societal issues that go beyond personal inquiry (double-loop learning). Furthermore, issues of whether AR in composing could be considered research, or not, were also articulated. Based on these key aspects, the authors offer a conceptual learning triangulation between research, education, and self-development that could inform AR doctoral education curricula.

Is inconsistent reporting of self-assessed health persistent and systematic? Evidence from the UKHLS

In this paper, we investigate whether individuals provide consistent responses to self-assessed health (SAH) questions in the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS), and the potential implications for empirical research in case of inconsistent reporting behaviour. We capitalise on an opportunity in the UKHLS, asking respondents the same SAH question twice: with a self-completion and an open interview mode, within the same household interview over four waves. We estimate multivariate models to explore which individual characteristics are systematically relevant for the likelihood and frequency of inconsistent reporting. About 11–24% of those reported a particular SAH category in the self-completion reported inconsistently in the open interview. The probability of inconsistency is systematically associated with individual’s demographics, education, income, employment status, cognitive and non-cognitive skills. The same characteristics also predict the frequency of inconsistent reporting across four UKHLS waves. Analysis of the implications of reporting inconsistencies shows no impact of SAH measurement on the association between income and health. A set of dimensions of people’s physiological and biological health, captured using biomarkers, is associated equally with both SAH measures, suggesting that the interview mode does not play a role in the relationship between SAH and more objective health measures.

Socialization of Waste Management on Household Waste Sorting in Undrusbinangun Village, Sukabumi Regency

The waste problem in Sukabumi Regency, especially in Undrusbinangun Village, Kadudampit District, Sukabumi Regency has not been completely resolved, as there is still a lack of knowledge about how to process household waste. The handling of waste problems in Undrusbinangun Village must start from the source, namely the household by involving the active participation of the community. Awareness and concern for handling waste by the village community is still lacking. This is marked by the habit of burning waste that is still inherent in the community in managing waste. The purpose of this activity is for the community to have self-awareness not to throw garbage indiscriminately, let alone throw it into rivers and into ravines, and for the community to be able to sort household waste according to the types of waste, how dangerous it is to dispose of waste carelessly, how to implement it. waste management with the 3R concept and so on.

Ethnopharmacological survey of endemic plants used in ethnomedicinal knowledge of Soqotra Island

Ethnopharmacological relevanceDue to the long biogeographical isolation since ancient times, Soqotra Island (southern Yemen) is rich in medicinal endemic plants. However, information on their traditional therapeutic knowledge is scarce in scientific literature and still not completely documented. Aim of the study(1) Documentation and search the native traditional therapeutic knowledge focusing on the medicinal plants which are endemic to Soqotra (2) Identification of the important endemic plants treating diseases by quantitative analysis of the collected data. Materials and methodsEthnobotanical data were collected from 105 local informants through open interviews, semi-structured questionnaires and field survey in February 1990 to document the traditional medicinal plants in Soqotra Island. Of them we reported in this study the data of the endemic species, due to their wide biodiversity in the island. The quantitative data were analyzed for use reports (URs) and the informant consensus factor (ICF). The reported diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Primary Care-2 (ICPC-2). New reported medicinal plants in this study were identified compared to literature review. The level of traditional Soqotri knowledge among Islanders was observed during 1990–2003. ResultsIn the study, 86 medicinal endemic plants with 7654 therapeutic URs were explored for 69 ailments types belongs to 11 (ICPC-2) groups. The highest ICF value (0.99) were calculated for both eye and ear diseases categories, followed by general and unspecified ailments (0.98), digestive and skin (0.97 for each), and musculoskeletal ailments (0.96) among all diseases categories. While the highest URs (2276) were identified for skin diseases, followed by digestive diseases (URs = 2146). All the 86 recorded medicinal plant species were endemic to Soqotra, belonging to 57 genera and 29 families. Euphorbiaceae and Burseraceae were the dominant families, followed by Apocynaceae, Fabaceae and Asteraceae. Shrubs were the dominant growth form (41 species, 47.67%), followed by herbs (27; 31.4%), and trees (14; 16.28%). Leaves (45 species; 31.25%) were the most frequently used parts, followed by stems (34 species; 23.61%) and barks (species 23; 15.97%). The most cited preparation method was paste for 51 species followed by liquid exudates (48 species) and powder (26 species). Based on the comparative literature review, we recorded 36 new endemic medicinal plants and reported new traditional therapeutic uses for the remaining 50 endemic plants for the first time. On the other hand, all the reported endemic medicinal plants have been enlisted in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, of them 21 endemic species enlisted as highest threatened species. ConclusionAccording to the quantitative data analyzed, Soqotra Island has a valuable traditional knowledge in several medicinal endemic plants that used by local people in the primary health care until the study time at 1990. This study emphasizes the importance of early time in documenting traditional indigenous knowledge before losing and to protect and conserve the endemic plants against highly endangered. Consequently, these ethnomedicinal data could be used in the future as guide for pharmacological and phytochemical studies to discover new therapeutic drugs.

Reformasi Sistem Pelayanan Publik Melalui Mobile Jkn Di Bpjs Kesehatan Kota Padang

Bureaucratic reform is a fundamental change in the paradigm and governance of Indonesian government. On the basis of the desire for bureaucratic reform, the government seeks to improve the bureaucratic process. However, especially with regard to BPJS Health, it is still not running as expected, such as BPJS Health services which are sometimes often crowded, queued, and convoluted. With reform, there is a great need for digitization through the JKN mobile application. This method and writing uses a qualitative approach. Qualitative writing uses descriptive data, namely in the form of written or spoken words from people and observable behavior. This research utilizes open interviews to examine and understand attitudes, views, feelings and behavior of individuals or groups of people. Padang City Health BPJS services through Mobile JKN are getting better. It looks like participants don't have to come and queue to go to the office, and through their cellphones, everything they want is in mobile JKN and at the same time within their grasp, but it's also undeniable that as long as using the application there are still problems but they can still be controlled. So the presence of a digital-based service system reform makes it easier for the community
