Alterações morfológicas e dentofaciais têm sido repetidamente atribuídas ao impedimento da função naso-respiratória devido à hipertrofia de tonsilas faríngea e palatinas. O objetivo da presente investigação foi avaliar o padrão esquelético e características oclusais de crianças respiradoras bucais antes (T1) e em média 28 meses após (T2) serem submetidas à cirurgia para remoção de tonsilas hipertrofiadas, comparando com crianças respiradoras nasais. O grupo experimental foi composto de 33 crianças respiradoras bucais (RB) e o grupo controle, de 32 crianças respiradoras nasais (RN). Os exames ortodônticos (radiografia cefalométrica e modelos de estudo) foram realizados em ambos os grupos nos tempos T1 e T2. Na comparação entre os grupos, os resultados permitiram concluir que os respiradores bucais apresentaram maior inclinação do plano mandibular em relação à base craniana e ao plano palatal (SN.GoGn; PP.PM); ângulo goníaco mais obtuso (ArGo.GoMe); tendência ao tipo morfológico dolicofacial (BaN.PtGn); altura do ramo da mandíbula (Ar-Go) e altura posterior da face (S-Go) diminuídas; maior número de mordidas cruzadas e menor distância intermolares. Em T2, o padrão morfológico predominante da face foi mesofacial no grupo RN e dolicofacial no grupo RB; o overbite foi normal nos RB e profundo nos RN e o overjet apresentou-se maior nos RB. Em relação à mordida aberta, mordida cruzada, relação de caninos, plano terminal dos segundos molares decíduos e distância intercaninos e intermolares houve semelhança entre os grupos RB e RN. Ao analisar cada grupo separadamente, verificou-se que, vinte e oito meses após a cirurgia, nos RB, houve alteração na direção do crescimento da face e inclinação do plano mandibular no sentido anti-horário, com diminuição dos valores de SN.GoGn, PP.PM, SNGn, ArGo.GoMe e aumento de BaN.PtGn. Em ambos os grupos houve crescimento vertical anterior e posterior da face, evidenciado pelo aumento das medidas verticais lineares (N-Me, N-ENA, ENA-Me, S-Go, S-Ar, Ar- Go). O plano terminal dos segundos molares decíduos modificou-se de reto para degrau mesial nos dois grupos; o overbite alterou de negativo para normal no grupo RB e tornou-se profundo, no grupo RN. No presente estudo, a desobstrução das vias aéreas através da remoção cirúrgica das tonsilas faríngea e/ou palatinas em crianças entre 3 e 6 anos de idade, resgatou o padrão de crescimento normal para esses pacientes respiradores bucais, mostrando resultados excelentes sobre as características oclusais e esqueléticas. / Morphological and dentofacial abnormalities have been attributed to respiratory obstruction caused by adenoid and tonsils hypertrophy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the skeletal patterns and occlusal characteristics in mouthbreathing children before (T1) and a mean of 28 months after (T2) they have been were submitted to surgery for tonsils hypertrophy, compared with those of nosebreathing children. The experimental group was composed of 33 mouth-breathing children (MB) and the control group, 32 nose-breathing children (NB). Orthodontic examinations (cephalometric radiography and study models) were performed on both groups at the times T1 and T2. After comparisons between the groups, it could be concluded that the MB presented greater inclination of the mandibular plane in relation to the cranial base and palatal plane (SN.GoGn, PP.PM); more obtuse gonial angle (ArGo.GoMe); tendency towards the dolicofacial pattern (BaN.PtGn); reduced height of the mandibular ramus (Ar-Go) and lower posterior height of the face (S-Go); higher frequency of crossbite and smaller intermolar distance. After surgery (T2), the predominant morphological pattern of the face was mesofacial in NB and dolicofacial in MB; the overbite was normal in MB and deep in NB; the overjet was greater in MB; the two groups were similar in relation to open bite, crossbite, the antero-posterior canines relationship and the second deciduous molars terminal plane, and the intercanine and intermolar distances. Separate analysis on each group showed that, 28 months after surgery, the MB presented an counterclockwise rotation of the mandible, smaller SN.GoGn, PP.PM, SNGn and ArGo.GoMe values and larger BaN.PtGn value. In both groups, there was anterior and posterior vertical growth of the face, with increase in the linear vertical measurements (N-Me, N-ENA, ENA-Me, S-Go, S-Ar and Ar-Go). The second deciduous molars terminal plane changed from straight to mesial, in both groups; the overbite changed from negative to normal in MB and it became deep in NB. In the present study, the surgery for tonsils hypertrophy in children aged 3 to 6 years restored the normal growth pattern for these mouth-breathing patients, with excellent results regarding occlusal and skeletal characteristics.

Participants were divided into three groups, as follows: Group 1: group of 15 professionals treating women with CAM, and medical (3 mastologists and 3 of obstetric medical residents), three nurses, three nursing assistants and 3 psychologists; Group 2: the group was composed of 9 patients with CAM, has undergone surgery to treat the disease accompanied by physiotherapy Sorocabana League Against Cancer, Group 3: control group consisted of 9 patients already treated with CAM that had undergone surgical treatment, but that did not undergo physiotherapy. For this study, we sought to analyze the results for Group 1 and Group 2, based on the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DSC) and theoretical saturation (TS), as the statistical analysis of the quantitative results for the Group 2 and Group 3, were interpreted by the Wilcoxon test and analysis of variance Friedman. The results showed that professionals of Group 1 recognized the importance of the therapist as a member of this team, positively describing the role of physiotherapy in rehabilitation of patients in the postoperative period of CAM, yet it was possible to know the perceptions of patients, participant sin Group 2 on the post-surgical physiotherapy CAM, whose responses on physiotherapy, physical improvements were made objectively characterized by physical evolution, with significant differences in ROM, confirmed by goniometry and muscle strength, when compared to the assessment currently anticipated that the initiation of treatment with physiotherapy assessment after completion of all treatment provided by physiotherapy, as compared to patients who were treated with CAM without the intervention of physiotherapy, characterized some physical limitations associated with surgery CAM. It was possible to complete the important work of rehabilitation of patients with CAM, so the role of physiotherapy has been recognized by the medical field, but further studies are necessary to introduce other professional teams responsible for treating women with CAM and with this diagnostic work and benefits of therapy in these cases / Este estudo avaliou a percepção das pacientes e da equipe de saúde que assiste a mulher com câncer de mama (CAM) sobre o papel da fisioterapia, além de avaliar a capacidade funcional e a recuperação das pacientes em tratamento do CAM antes e após a intervenção da fisioterapia e analisando também a capacidade funcional de mulheres que foram tratadas de CAM sem a intervenção de fisioterapia. Os participantes foram divididos em três grupos, sendo eles: Grupo 1: grupo de 15 profissionais que atendem mulheres com CAM, sendo médicos (3 mastologistas e 3 médicos-residentes de tocoginecologia), 3 enfermeiras, 3 auxiliares de enfermagem e 3 psicóloga; Grupo 2: grupo que foi composto por 9 pacientes portadoras de CAM, já submetidas a cirurgia para tratamento da doença acompanhadas pela fisioterapia na Liga Sorocabana de Combate ao Câncer; Grupo 3: grupo controle que foi formado por 9 pacientes já tratadas de CAM que já haviam se submetido ao tratamento cirúrgico, mas que não realizaram o tratamento de fisioterapia. Neste estudo quali-quantitativo, buscou-se analisar os resultados qualitativos referentes ao Grupo 1 e Grupo 2, baseando-se no Discurso de Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) e por saturação teórica (ST), já a analise estatística dos resultados quantitativos referentes ao Grupo 2 e Grupo 3, foram interpretados através do Teste de Wilcoxon e pela análise de Variância de Friedman. Os resultados evidenciaram que os profissionais do Grupo 1 reconheceram a importância do fisioterapeuta como membro desta equipe, descrevendo de forma positiva o papel da fisioterapia na reabilitação das pacientes em pós-operatório de CAM, ainda foi possível conhecer a percepção das pacientes, participantes do Grupo 2, sobre a fisioterapia no pós-cirúrgico de CAM, cujas respostas sobre a fisioterapia, as melhoras físicas apresentadas foram caracterizadas objetivamente pela uma evolução física, com diferenças significativas na ADM, constatada pela goniometria e na força muscular, quando se comparou a avaliação no momento que antecipava o inicio do tratamento fisioterápico com a avaliação após o término de todo o tratamento realizado pela fisioterapia, já em relação as pacientes que foram tratadas de CAM sem a intervenção de fisioterapia, caracterizaram-se algumas sequelas e limitações físicas associadas à cirurgia do CAM. Foi possível concluir a importância do trabalho de reabilitação de pacientes com CAM, desta forma a atuação da fisioterapia vem sendo reconhecida pela área médica, porém novos estudos tornam-se necessários para apresentar aos outros profissionais das equipes responsáveis pelo tratamento de mulheres com CAM e às com este diagnóstico o trabalho e benefícios da fisioterapia nestes casos

Bakgrund: Bristande kommunikation mellan vårdpersonal är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till de skador och avvikelserapporter som årligen uppstår inom hälso- och sjukvården. Vid ett överrapporteringstillfälle finns risk att information missförstås eller att information inte överlämnas vilket därmed kan äventyra patientsäkerheten och en god vård. Eftersom användandet av kommunikationsverktyg förespråkas fanns det skäl att beskriva betydelsen av kommunikationsverktyg vid överrapportering. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva betydelsen av att använda kommunikationsverktyg vid överrapportering från anestesipersonal till postoperativ avdelning. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie med kvantitativ ansats användes. Sökningarna genomfördes i två vetenskapliga databaser, Cinahl och Pubmed. Totalt elva artiklar identifierades och data extraherades genom en dataextraktionsmall. Resultat: Resultatet sammanfattas i tre kategorier; förändrad tid för överrapportering, minskad informationsförlust och förändringar i teamet. Genom användandet av kommunikationsverktyg ökade eller minskade tiden för överrapportering. Informationsförlusten minskade då det blev minskat antal fel, lättare att komma ihåg detaljer samt antalet mellanhänder minskade. Förändringar i teamet kunde ses utifrån att användandet av kommunikationsverktyg skapade förutsättningar för ett förbättrat samarbete i teamet samtidigt som det fanns en del svårigheter med rutinförändringar i samband med introduktionen av ett kommunikationsverktyg. Slutsats: Resultatet visar på flertalet fördelar med användandet av kommunikationsverktyg men även utmaningar i det. Vidare forskning inom området behövs för att utvärdera kommunikationsverktygets inverkan på patientens säkerhet. / Background: Lack of communication between healthcare professionals is one of the most common causes of the injuries and deviation reports that occur annually in the healthcare system. In the event of a handover, there is a risk that information will be misunderstood or that information will not be submitted, which may compromise patient safety. Because the use of communication tools is advocated, there was reason to describe the importance of communication tools in handover. Purpose: The purpose was to describe the importance of using communication tools in handover from anesthetic staff to post-operative department. Methods: A systematic literature review with quantitative approach was used. Searches were conducted in Cinahl and Pubmed. A total of eleven articles were identified and data extracted by an extraction template. Results: The result is summarized in three categories; changed time for over-reporting, reduced information loss and changes in the team. The use of communication tools increased or decreased the time for over-reporting. The information loss decreased as the number of errors decreased, the details were easier to remember and the number of intermediaries decreased. Changes in the team could be seen from the view that the use of communication tools created the conditions for improved collaboration in the team, while there were some difficulties with routine changes in connection with the introduction of a communication tool. Conclusion: The result shows the many advantages of using communication tools but also challenges in it. Further research in the field is needed to evaluate the impact of the communication tool on the patient's safety.

Introdução: a analgesia multimodal é amplamente usada para o controle da dor perioperatória em um esforço para reduzir o uso de opioides. A duloxetina é um inibidor seletivo da recaptação da serotonina e noradrenalina com eficácia para estados de dor crônica. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia de duas doses orais de 60 mg de duloxetina em termos de consumo de fentanil durante o período pós-operatório em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia eletiva de artrodese de coluna lombar. Método: este estudo foi um ensaio clínico prospectivo, duplo encoberto, aleatório e controlado com placebo. Os pacientes receberam 60 mg de duloxetina ou placebo idêntico uma hora antes da cirurgia e 24 horas depois. Os sujeitos do estudo foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo C (controle) de indivíduos que receberam o placebo; e grupo D (duloxetina) de indivíduos que receberam 60 mg de duloxetina. O consumo total de fentanil administrado pelo próprio paciente em 24 e 48 horas após a cirurgia foi mensurado. Os desfechos secundários foram os escores de dor e a presença ou ausência de efeitos adversos, tais como cefaleia, náuseas, vômitos, prurido, tonturas e sonolência. Resultados: as características demográficas não diferiram entre os grupos. Houve uma diferença significativa no consumo de fentanil nas primeiras 24 horas entre os grupos C e D (diferença média, 223,11 ± 39,32 ?g; p < 0,001). O consumo de fentanil também diferiu entre os grupos C e D após 48 horas (diferença média, 179,35 ± 32,55 ug; p < 0,00). Os escores de dor em mais de 48 horas não diferiram significativamente entre os grupos. A incidência de efeitos colaterais foi semelhante nos dois grupos. Conclusão: a duloxetina foi associada à redução do consumo de fentanil no pós-operatório de cirurgias sobre a coluna lombar, portanto, sendo eficaz como adjuvante para a analgesia pós-operatória e redução do consumo de opioides / Background: Multimodal analgesia is widely advocated for the control of perioperative pain in an effort to reduce the use of opioids. Duloxetine is a selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor with efficacy for chronic pain states. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two oral doses of 60 mg duloxetine in terms of fentanyl submitted to elective lumbar spine arthrodesis surgery. Method: This study was prospective, double blind, randomized, and placebo controlled clinical trial. Patients received duloxetine 60 mg or identical placebo one hour before surgery and 24 hours later. The study subjects were divided into two groups: group C (control) of subjects who received placebo; and group D (duloxetine) from subjects received 60 mg. The total fentanyl consumption by the patient himself at 24 and 48 hours after surgery was measured. Secondary outcomes were pain scores and the presence or absence of adverse effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, dizziness and drowsiness. Results: Demographic characteristics did not differ between groups. There was a significant difference in fentanyl consumption in the first 24 hours between groups C and D (mean difference, 223.11 ± 39.32 ?g; p < 0.001). Fentanyl consumption also differed between groups C and D after 48 hours (mean difference, 179.35 ± 32.55 ?g; p < 0.00). Pain scores in more than 48 hours did not differ significantly between groups. The incidence of side effects was similar in both groups. Conclusion: Duloxetine was associated with reduction of fentanyl consumption in the postoperative period of surgeries on the lumbar spine, therefore, it was effective as adjuvant for postoperative analgesia and reduction of opioid consumption

The ability to kneel is an important function of the knee joint, as it is required for many daily activities, including religious practices, professional occupations and recreational pursuits. The inability to kneel following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is frequently a source of disappointment. This work investigates patients' understanding of the term 'kneeling' and what proportion of patients can kneel before and after TKA, as well as identifying the factors that can affect the ability to kneel following TKA. The underlying hypothesis tested was: 'There are no differences between kneeling ability before and after TKA'. Kneeling ability after TKA may be affected by many factors, including patient-specific factors, the extent of wear on RPC (Retro patellar Cartilage), postoperative AKP (Anterior Knee Pain) and post-operative ROM (Range of Motion). Thus a consecutive series of TKA patients were assessed to test the afore-mentioned hypothesis. In particular, the thesis has examined: • Interpretation of kneeling and perceptions of kneeling ability after TKA. • The extent of wear on Retro Patellar Cartilage (RPC) and its correlation to kneeling ability. • Sensory changes in the knee after TKA. • Preoperative and Postoperative Anterior Knee Pain (AKP) assessment. • The reality of kneeling ability before and after TKA. • Postoperative ROM of the knee and its correlation to kneeling function. The advice offered by healthcare professionals may contribute to a low postoperative rate of kneeling. The patellofemoral joint plays an essential role in knee function and a person's kneeling ability, may be greatly affected by the performance of this joint. Firstly, this study analysed the responses of two samples of participants drawn from diverse cultural backgrounds (Christian and Muslim), it examined their primary interpretation of what kneeling constitutes, along with a subjective assessment of the importance of kneeling in their everyday lives. Secondly, it explored patients' perceptions of their kneeling ability after TKA, with a comparative analysis of their responses to the kneeling questionnaire specifically constructed by the author and also the question in relation to kneeling in the Oxford Knee Score (OKS). The third component investigated retro-patellar cartilage (RPC) morphology using intraoperative examination and standardised photography. Fourthly, a cohort of patients listed for TKAs was followed prospectively, in order to assess their kneeling ability prior to and following treatment, along with identifying the factors that could affect this function, i.e. knee pain, range of motion, sensory changes and sensitivity to pain on the anterior aspect of the knee as assessed with dolorimetry. Differences were detected in the subjective interpretation of the kneeling function, as well as its importance, for the two diverse cultures involved in this study. Pain, as opposed to poor range of movement, was identified as the main reason which led to kneeling difficulties. The majority of respondents reported that it was either extremely difficult or impossible to kneel on the operated knee. The high flexed position (required for prayer in certain cultures) was the most difficult position to achieve for most of the patients. Prior to surgery, 30 patients were seen during this period, 15 (50%) out of 30 consecutive patients were unable to kneel in any position whatsoever. Of those who could kneel to some degree, the most common posture that they could achieve was the upright kneeling position. Considerable variations were found to occur in patients' understanding of the term 'kneeling'. Consequently, this has significant implications for the design and interpretation of questions in relation to kneeling for diverse cultures, which are characterised by distinct lifestyles. The current patient-based selfV administered questionnaires, such as the OKS, although useful as a simple measure of overall knee function, were found to have limitations as an effective assessment tool in the measurement of kneeling function either before or after TKA and indicate that there is a need for a culturally appropriate questionnaire to assess kneeling function. Retro-patellar cartilage lesions were very prevalent in patients undergoing TKA. However, no significant correlation existed between the total amount of retro-patellar cartilage wear and the ability to kneel. Patients were more likely to be able to kneel if the cartilage of the superior facets of the patella were disease free (P=0.02). At the six months post-surgery stage, of the 14 consecutive patients, who could kneel pre-operatively 6 were able to kneel post-operatively. Of the 13 consecutive patients who were unable to kneel pre-operatively, all were unable to kneel post-operatively. Knee pain was the main reason attributed to this difficulty. However, no link was found to occur between sensory changes and kneeling function in the patients who participated in the study, after TKA performed via an anterior midline incision.

O controle da dor pós-operatória é um assunto de grande interesse, visto que a dor interfere na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. O uso de anestésicos locais de longa duração pode diminuir esse sintoma. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia clínica da complementação trans-cirúrgica da bupivacaína no controle da dor pós-operatória em pacientes submetidos à extração de terceiros molares inferiores. Através deste ensaio clínico controlado por placebo, foram realizadas 80 cirurgias em terceiros molares mandibulares bilaterais e simétricos (classificação 2B de Pell & Gregory) em 40 pacientes saudáveis. Em um dos lados operados, foi realizado o bloqueio anestésico pré-operatório de modo randomizado e duplo-cego com bupivacaína a 0,5% associado a epinefrina 1:200.000 (Neocaína®). Ao término do procedimento cirúrgico, foi realizada complementação anestésica com o mesmo anestésico (grupo experimental ou teste). Do lado oposto (grupo controle), o procedimento foi idêntico ao realizado no grupo experimental, mas complementado por placebo (soro fisiológico) através do método da boca dividida. Durante o período pós-operatório de 72 horas foram avaliadas a dor e o consumo de analgésicos, sendo que a dor foi considerada a variável primária do estudo. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p> 0,05) para nenhum dos parâmetros avaliados e entre os pacientes operados. Portanto a complementação trans-cirúrgica da bupivacaína no controle da dor pós-operatória não apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante quando comparada ao uso da bupivacaína complementada por placebo / The postoperative pain control is a subject of great interest since pain interferes in the quality of life of patients. The use of long-term local anesthetics, may reduce this symptom. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of bupivacaine complementation in controlling postoperative pain in patients undergoing third molars surgeries. Through this placebo-controlled clinical trial were performed 80 bilateral symmetrical mandibular third molar surgeries (2B classification of Pell & Gregory) in 40 healthy patients. In one side of jaw, the anesthetic blockade was performed preoperatively period in a randomized and double-blind manner with 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200.000 epinephrine (Neocaína ®). At the end of surgery, a complementary dose was performed with the same anesthetic (experimental group or test). On the opposite side (control group), the procedure was similar to performed in the experimental group but complemented by placebo (saline) through the method of split mouth. Pain and analgesic consumption were assessed for 72 hours of postoperative period, and the pain was considered the primary outcome variable of the study. There was no statistically significant difference (p> 0.05) for evaluated parameters and between patients. Therefore the trans-complementation of bupivacaine in surgical control of postoperative pain not statistically significant when compared to bupivacaine complemented by placebo.

O proposito deste estudo e avaliar o impacto psicologico da vivencia hospitalar de individuos que sofrem complicacoes pos-operatoria, partindo do pressuposto de que a intercorrencia agrava o quadro clinico com repercussoes na esfera psiquica destes pacientes. Teoricamente enfoca a evolucao do conceito de trauma na teoria freudiana, partindo do desamparo primordial (hilflosigkeit) ate a nova concepcao de angustia, levando em consideracao o fator economico, a nocao de a posteriori (nachträglichkeit) e a compulsao a repeticao. Com o intuito de ampliar a compreensao do fenomeno, o estudo percorre a etiologia do trauma para outros teoricos: Sandor Ferenczi, sobre o narcisismo da doenca; Donald W. Winnicott, que correlaciona o trauma a vivencia do fracasso do ambiente, a imprevisibilidade, ao excesso de tempo de exposicao a situacao desorganizadora, e a elevacao do nivel de dependencia. A constancia desta situacao leva ao que Maksud Khan nomeou de trauma cumulativo. A hipotese e a de que esta experiencia hospitalar pode promover um trauma psiquico, na medida em que o individuo se ve diante de uma situacao imprevisivel, que pode lhe causar transbordamento emocional pelo estado de desamparo, impotencia e risco da perda de sua integridade fisica -, que inibe uma elaboracao psiquica. Apos a alta hospitalar tais fatores podem, ainda, desencadear efeitos pos-traumaticos, acarretando-lhe, assim, uma dificuldade adaptativa. Para Moty Benyakar isto significa que o evento disruptivo pode promover um vivenciar traumatico dado a magnitude do impacto no psiquismo. Metodologicamente, para melhor compreensao do processo psiquico, faz-se um estudo longitudinal, de seis sujeitos, iniciando enquanto estes se encontram hospitalizados (situacao potencialmente traumatica), tres e seis meses apos a alta hospitalar. Na aplicacao do metodo qualitativo o estudo baseia-se na coleta de dados com entrevistas e na aplicacao reduzida da tecnica projetiva do TAT (Thematic Apperception Test). Pelo metodo quantitativo os pacientes sao submetidos a aplicacao da escala de avaliacao do transtorno de estresse pos-traumatico (CAPS Clinician Administred PTDS Scale). Esta pesquisa foi realizada em Hospital Escola de Universidade Publica, apos a aprovacao do Comite de Etica desta instituicao e do Comite de Etica para Seres Humanos do Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade de Sao Paulo. Atraves dos resultados obtidos na pesquisa pode-se constatar que ha uma relacao direta entre o evento e os seus efeitos no psiquismo. Pelo proprio carater disruptivo da instituicao hospitalar, dos encargos dos problemas de saude e do entorno (familiar, socioeconomico) o individuo vivencia uma vulnerabilidade fisica e psiquica. Contudo constatou-se que a dimensao da repercussao psiquica esta diretamente associada ao quadro clinico dos pesquisados, e ao tempo que ficam expostos a situacao potencialmente traumatica. Sendo este um fator fundamental na incidencia dos sintomas do Transtorno de Estresse Pos-traumatico. Com base neste estudo psicologico das complicacoes pos-operatorias, espera-se possibilitar aos profissionais de saude um novo olhar ao promover sua conscientizacao sobre problemas advindos desta experiencia, nao so aos individuos como, tambem, aos familiares, levantando a possibilidade de, se necessario, recorrerem a uma assistencia psicologica e/ou psiquiatrica / The objective of this study is to assess the psychological impact in subjects who stay in hospital after suffering from post-operative complications, on the assumption that the clinical picture gets worse causing troubles in the psychic area of these patients. Theoretically it focuses the evolution of the concept of trauma according to Freudian theory, since the primordial abandonment (hilflosigkeit) up to the new concept of distress, considering the economical situation, the concept of a posteriori (nachtraglichkeit) and the repetition compulsion. Aiming to offer a deeper understanding of the phenomenon, the study works with the etiology of trauma by other theorists: Sandor Ferenczi, about the narcissism of the disorder; Donald W. Winnicott, who relates the trauma to the experience of the environment failure, the unpredictability, the length of time facing a disordering situation, and the raising in dependence level. The constancy of this situation leads to what Maksud Khan called as cumulative trauma. The hypothesis is that in-hospital experience might provide a psychic trauma in so far as the subject has faced an unpredictable situation that might cause an overflow of emotions feeling abandoned, powerless and at the risk of losing physical integrity -, inhibiting a psychic elaboration. After having been discharged from hospital, such factors might also trigger post traumatic effects, implying into an adapting difficulty. According to Moty Benyakar, the disruptive event might provide a traumatic experience due to the great impact in the psychism. Methodologically for a better understanding of the psychic process, a longitudinal study has been made, with a number x of subjects, starting while they are in hospital (a potentially traumatic situation), from three to six months after they had been discharged from hospital. Applying the qualitative method the study has been based on the data collected through interviews and in the reduced application of the projective technique of TAT ( Thematic Apperception Test). Through the quantitative method the patients have been submitted to the application of the evaluation scale on the post-traumatic stress disorder (CAPS - Clinician Administered PTDS Scale). This research was carried out at the Hospital Escola da Universidade Publica, after the approval of the Comite de Etica ( Ethics Committee) of this institution and the Comite de Etica para Seres Humanos ( Ethics Committee for Human Beings) of the Instituto de Psicologia (Psychology Institute) of Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP). Through the results provided by the research, it was observed that there is a direct relation between the event and the effects in the psychism. For the own disruptive aspect in hospital, the burdens of health disorders and other surroundings ( familiar, socio- economic problems), the subject lives in a physical and psychic vulnerability. However it was pointed out that the dimension of the psychic repercussion is directly linked to the clinical picture of the six subjects who are studied, and the length of time that they have been exposed to the potentially traumatic situation. And this factor is extremely important in the incidence of the symptoms of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This psychological study of the post- traumatic surgery complications is meant to bring to health professionals much more awareness about the problems that come after this experience, not only for the subjects as well as to the relatives, who should be allowed to require, whenever necessary, some psychological and/or psychiatric treatment

The main purpose of the present study to examine the relationship between psychological preparation, attitudes toward hospital and health professionals, social support, ways of coping and sociodemographic variables with preoperative anxiety, post-intervention anxiety and post-operation anxiety in children anticipating an operation in child surgery clinic. In addition, the relationship between the anxiety level of child and anxiety level of mother was examined. The sample consisted of sixty children and their mothers. Data was collected utilizing the state form of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for iv Children (STAI-C), Attitudes Toward Hospital and Health Professionals Scale, Social Support Scale, KIDCOPE, and the state form of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for mothers. Results of variance analysis showed that there was a significant decrease in anxiety scores from pre-operation, post-intervention to post-operation periods in treatment groups (information/ information together with mother/ interview). However, no significant difference was found among the control group. Children who received information alone and children who were informed together with mothers and children who were merely interviewed were found to demonstrate lower levels of anxiety than children in control group in post-intervention period. Children in the pre-operation period, were found to have less positive attitude than post-operation period in information group. Children who received information alone or children informing together with mothers, reported using positive coping and blame &amp / anger more than children in the mere interview and the control group. Also children in control group had significantly higher scores on avoidance subscale than other three treatment groups. The results were discussed within the context of relevant literature.
