O trabalho foi realizado com 40 gestantes que haviam recebido diagnóstico de malformação fetal não letal. Descreve as repercussões emocionais iniciais após o diagnóstico; avaliando a relação entre o tipo de malformações e as repercussões emocionais; a presença e a fase de stress em que estas gestantes se encontravam. Foi realizada uma entrevista semidirigida e aplicado o Inventário de Sintomas de Stress de Lipp. Os resultados apontaram repercussões emocionais com choque e negação. Não houve diferenças emocionais associadas à gravidade ou ao tipo de anomalia. Quanto ao stress, este está presente na maioria das gestantes e, parece associado a interpretaçãos individuais de fontes estressoras / This research was done with 40 pregnant woman that had received the diagnosis of non lethal fetal malformation. The emotional repercussions are described after the diagnosis; evaluation the relation between the type of malformation and the emotional repercussions; the presence and level of stress that these pregnant woman were in. A semidirected interview was done and the Inventory of Stress Symptoms by Lipp was applied. The results showed emotional repercussions such as shock and denial. There were no emotional differences associate with the degree or type of anomaly. And as for stress, it is present in the majority of the woman and is associated to individual interpretations of stress causes

no / Aims and objectives To (1) investigate the organisation, provision and practice of oral care in typical UK stroke units; (2) explore stroke survivors', carers' and healthcare professionals' experiences and perceptions about the barriers and facilitators to receiving and undertaking oral care in stroke units. Background Cerebrovascular disease and oral health are major global health concerns. Little is known about the provision, challenges and practice of oral care in the stroke unit setting, and there are currently no evidence-based practice guidelines. Design Cross-sectional survey of 11 stroke units across Greater Manchester and descriptive qualitative study using focus groups and semi-structured interviews. Methods A self-report questionnaire was used to survey 11 stroke units in Greater Manchester. Data were then collected through two focus groups (n = 10) with healthcare professionals and five semi-structured interviews with stroke survivors and carers. Focus group and interview data were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using framework approach. Results Eleven stroke units in Greater Manchester responded to the survey. Stroke survivors and carers identified a lack of oral care practice and enablement by healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals identified a lack of formal training to conduct oral care for stroke patients, inconsistency in the delivery of oral care and no set protocols or use of formal oral assessment tools. Conclusion Oral care post-stroke could be improved by increasing healthcare professionals' awareness, understanding and knowledge of the potential health benefits of oral care post-stroke. Further research is required to develop and evaluate the provision of oral care in stroke care to inform evidence-based education and practice.
