This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach. We interviewed 30 mothers of premature newborns, registered in the Basic Unit of the Municipality of Guanambi / BA. Three questionnaires were applied: a sociodemographic, beliefs about parental practices and a qualitative instrument. The data were evaluated using descriptive and comparative statistics. The results identified that sociodemographic factors and prematurity influence the adoption of specific parental practices for each context. The main practices adopted by the mothers studied were face-to-face contact, with an average of 8.5 (+2.6), and body stimulation, with 6.8 (+0.8) points. Mothers were the ones who took care of their children at home (36.7%), followed by grandparents (26.7%). The frequency of prenatal consultations was 93.3%, but 70.0% never participated in any type of support group and exchange of experiences. The main guidelines given to mothers during prenatal care were on vaccines (73.3%). The guidelines offered during prenatal care were classified by mothers as very important (83.3%), but they did not identify any professionals responsible for promoting the link between the family and the FHT. More than half (56.7%) of the participants did not feel prepared to take care of their children at home, as they felt fear (53.3%) and insecurity (33.3%). Mothers did not perceive a relevant contribution from the FHS (66.6%); reported family interferences regarding newborn care, but they saw this interference as positive (33.0%). It was concluded that social, cultural, environmental and, above all, prematurity contexts interfered in the adoption of parental styles and perception of parenthood. The need for new studies to increase knowledge that subsidize effective public policies with an emphasis on the care of premature newborns and the context in which they are inserted is emphasized. / O presente estudo objetivou avaliar as crenças sobre as práticas parentais ao recémnascido prematuro na perspectiva das mães cuidadoras de bairros periféricos da cidade de Guanambi/BA. Trata-se se um estudo de caráter exploratório com abordagem qualiquantitativa. Foram entrevistadas 30 mães de recém-nascido prematuro, cadastradas na Unidade Básica do Município de Guanambi/BA. Foram aplicados três questionários: um sociodemográfico, crenças sobre as práticas parentais e um instrumento qualitativo. Os dados foram avaliados com uso de estatística descritiva e comparativa. Os resultados identificaram que os fatores sociodemográficos e a prematuridade apresentam influência na adoção de práticas parentais específicas para cada contexto. As principais práticas adotadas pelas mães estudadas foram o contato face a face, com a média de 8,5 (+2,6), e a estimulação corporal, com 6,8 (+0,8) pontos. As mães foram as que mais cuidaram dos seus filhos em domicílio (36,7%), seguidas das avós (26,7%). A frequência de consultas de pré-natal foi de 93,3%, mas 70,0% nunca participaram de nenhum tipo de grupo de apoio e troca de experiências. As principais orientações dadas às mães durante o pré-natal foram sobre vacinas (73,3%). As orientações oferecidas durante o pré-natal foram classificadas pelas mães como muito importantes (83,3%), porém elas não identificaram nenhum profissional responsável por promover o elo entre a família e a ESF. Mais da metade (56,7%) das participantes não se sentiram preparadas para cuidar dos seus filhos em domicílio, pois sentiram medo (53,3%) e insegurança (33,3%). As mães não perceberam contribuição relevante por parte da ESF (66,6%); relataram interferências dos familiares quanto aos cuidados ao recém-nascido, porém viram tal interferência como positiva (33,0%). Concluiu-se que os contextos sociais, culturais, ambientais e, sobretudo, a prematuridade, interferiram na adoção de estilos parentais e percepção da parentalidade. Ressalta-se a necessidade de novos estudos para ampliação do conhecimento que subsidiem políticas públicas efetivas com ênfase no cuidado ao recém-nascido prematuro e o contexto em que estão inseridos.

It is know that with early diagnosis, in the first months of life, a succes rate of about ninety percent is achieved with the use of the Pavlik suspender. The study estimated the prevalence of DDH in newborns(NB) from Pelotas city. For the accomplishment of the study was carried out the revision of the medical records of DDH carriers in the period from January 2014 to December 2016 and the data of Information System on Live Births (SINASC), of the same period was used. We observed 33 patients with DDH, 2.3 cases per 1000 live births, the following characteristics were evaluated: gender, color, maternal age, birth order, gestational age, fetal position, family history, affected side, birthweight and associated malformations. The variables: gender, color, maternal age, gestational age, birthweight and fetal presentation were analyzed in relation to SINASC, and gender (female) and pelvic presentation had a significant association with DDH. It is recommended that ultrasound should be perfomed in all NB who presented one or more of the following characteristics: positive Ortolani, family history and pelvic presentation. / A displasia do desenvolvimento do quadril (DDQ) é uma das principais causas de degeneração precoce da articulação coxo femoral, o que ocasiona dor, alteração da marcha, incapacidade funcional e laboral no adulto jovem, levando, muitas vezes, à realização de artroplastia total de quadril. Sabe-se que, com o diagnóstico precoce, nos primeiros meses de vida, consegue-se um índice de sucesso de cerca de noventa por cento com o uso do suspensório de Pavlik. O estudo estimou a prevalência de DDQ nos recém-nascidos (RN) da cidade de Pelotas. Para realização do estudo foi feita revisão dos prontuários de RN portadores de DDQ no período de janeiro de 2014 a dezembro de 2016 e utilizou os dados do Sistema de Informações Sobre Nascidos Vivos, do mesmo período. Observou-se 33 portadores de DDQ, 2,3 casos por 1000 nascidos vivos. Foram avaliadas as seguintes características: sexo, cor, idade materna, ordem de nascimento, idade gestacional, posição fetal, história familiar, lado acometido, peso ao nascer e malformações associadas. As variáveis: sexo, cor, idade materna, idade gestacional, peso do RN e tipo de apresentação fetal foram analisadas em relação ao SINASC, sendo que sexo (feminino) e apresentação pélvica apresentaram associação significativa com DDQ. Vinte e uma crianças necessitaram tratamento imediato dos quadris. Recomenda-se a realização do ultrassom em todos os RN que apresentem uma ou mais das seguintes características: Ortolani positivo, história familiar e apresentação pélvica.

Trisomy 21 (T21), trisomy 18 (T18) and trisomy 13 (T13) represent the most common autosomal trisomies detected in live-born infants. Previous studies have addressed interventions, morbidities and survival in term or near-term infants with T21, T18 or T13, or were limited by a small number of patients. However, the combination of one of these chromosomal anomalies and very low birth weight (VLBW) presents greater challenges. Data from the NICHD Neonatal Research Network (NRN) and from the Vermont Oxford Network (VON) databases were used to examine the frequency, interventions, risk of mortality and neonatal morbidities, including patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), late onset sepsis (LOS), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), among VLBW infants with T21, T18 or T13 compared to VLBW infants without major birth defects (BD) and VLBW infants with non-chromosomal BD. Anthropometric VON charts for the assessment of birth weight for gestational age among 22 week to term infants with T21, T18 or T13 were also developed. In the VON database (n=539,509), the frequency of VLBW infants diagnosed with T21 was 1681 (0.31%), with T18 was 1416 (0.27%), and with T13 was 435 (0.08%). Major surgery was reported for 30.4% of infants with T21, 9.2% with T18, and 6.8% with T13. In-hospital mortality occurred for 33.1% of infants with T21, 89.0% with T18, and 92.4% with T13. Median survival time was 4 days (95% CI: 3-4) among infants with T18 and 3 days (95% CI: 2-4) among infants with T13. Birth weight for gestational age charts were created using VON data with a total of 5147 infants with T21 aged 22-41 weeks, 1053 infants with T18 aged 22-41 weeks, and 613 infants with T13 aged 22-40 weeks. Among the three groups, infants with T18 were the most likely to be growth restricted while infants with T21 were the least likely to be growth restricted. The new anthropometric VON charts for infants with T21 were also compared to the Lubchenco and Fenton charts and both showed frequent misclassification of infants with T21 as small or large for gestational age. In the NICHD NRN database (n=52,259), 133 (0.26%) VLBW infants were diagnosed with T21, 132 (0.25%) with T18 and 40 (0.08%) with T13. The adjusted relative risk, estimated using Poisson regression models with robust variance estimators, showed an increased risk of death, PDA, NEC, LOS, and BPD among infants with T21 relative to infants with no BD. Relative to infants with non-chromosomal BD, infants with T21 were at increased risk of PDA and NEC. A trend toward a lower risk of ROP was observed among infants with T21 compared to infants with non-chromosomal BD and infants without major BD. Infants with T13, but not infants with T18, were less likely to be mechanically ventilated than infants with T21 and infants without BD. Infants with T18 had increased risk of PDA compared to infants with T13, infants with T21 and infants without BD and increased risk of BPD compared to infants with T21 and infants without BD. The current studies evaluated the largest cohorts of VLBW infants with T21, T18 or T13. These data are important to help families and care providers make informed decisions involving the care of their VLBW infants with these chromosomal anomalies.

A Iniciativa Hospital Amigo da Criança (IHAC) é amplamente adotada nas maternidades brasileiras, porém não considera o contexto complexo e tecnológico das unidades neonatais e as dificuldades de amamentar o prematuro. O objetivo geral é avaliar o impacto da implementação da IHAC para Unidades Neonatais - IHAC-Neo, guiada pelo referencial da Knowledge Translation (KT), na prevalência do aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) na alta hospitalar, no primeiro mês pós-alta e aos seis meses de vida entre os prematuros, e na adesão às diretrizes da IHAC-Neo. Tratase de estudo de intervenção, controlado, quase-experimental, pré e pós-teste, não equivalente e prospectivo, realizado em dois hospitais Amigos da Criança do Sudeste. A coleta foi realizada em dois momentos nos hospitais (intervenção e controle), com intervalo mínimo de 12 meses, sendo no hospital intervenção antes (M1) e após (M2) a implementação da IHAC-Neo. Foram coletados dados sobre prevalência do AME e condições de saúde dos prematuros por meio de levantamento de prontuários e entrevistas com mães; adesão à IHAC-Neo por meio de entrevistas com profissionais e mães, observação das unidades neonatais e análise documental; e dados qualitativos para monitorar fatores contextuais. A implementação da IHAC-Neo foi guiada pelo modelo Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services da KT e pela estratégia Evidence-Based Practice Identification & Change. Para análise dos dados relativos a prevalência do AME e seus fatores preditores foi utilizado regressão logística com efeito aleatório. Esta tese integra projeto multicêntrico financiado e aprovado por Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. A prevalência do AME na alta foi significativamente maior no hospital intervenção que no controle (p<0,01), resultante da diferença detectada no M1 (p<0,01) e no M2 (p=0,04), com taxas maiores de AME no hospital intervenção (M1=48,1%; M2=40,8%) do que no controle (M1=3,1%; M2=17,2%). Intragrupo, ao comparar os momentos, não houve diferença significativa no hospital intervenção (p=0,12) nem no controle (p=0,42). No primeiro mês pós-alta, manteve-se a prevalência do AME significativamente maior (p=0,02) no hospital intervenção (M1=46,1%; M2=29,8%) que no controle (M1=6,3%; M2=17,2%), devido diferença no M1 (p=0,02), já que não diferiu no M2 (p=0,41). Intragrupo, ao comparar os momentos, também não apresentaram diferença significativa no hospital intervenção (p=0,12) nem no controle (p=0,40). No sexto mês de vida, o AME somado ao aleitamento materno predominante não diferiu significativamente entre os hospitais intervenção e controle (p=0,27), independentemente do momento da coleta; nem entre os hospitais no M1 (p=0,46) e no M2 (p=0,39), embora o hospital intervenção tenha mantido maiores taxas (M1=14,3%; M2=10,6%) que o controle (M1=3,6%; M2=3,4%). Intragrupo, não houve diferença significativa no hospital intervenção (p=0,96) nem no controle (p=0,90). Na regressão logística ajustada, o único fator preditor do AME foi a duração da internação, apenas na alta hospitalar. Quanto as práticas relacionadas às diretrizes da IHAC-Neo tiveram importante melhora no hospital intervenção, com aumento da adesão global aos Dez Passos de 33% para 67%, aos Três Princípios Norteadores de 43% para 86% e ao Código de 56% para 81%, o que não foi tão pronunciado no controle. Conclui-se que a implementação da IHAC-Neo guiada pela KT aprimorou a prática clínica de promoção, proteção e apoio ao AME, com aumento da adesão à IHAC-Neo, mas não foi suficiente para aumentar o AME em prematuros em curto prazo / The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is widely adopted in Brazilian maternity hospitals, even though the complex and technological context of neonatal wards and the difficulties with breastfeeding premature infants are not considered. The overall objective is to evaluate the impact of implementation of the BFHI for Neonatal Wards (Neo-BFHI) guided by the Knowledge Translation (KT) framework on the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) at hospital discharge, in the first month after discharge, and at six months of life among premature infants, and regarding compliance with Neo-BFHI guidelines. This is an intervention, controlled, quasiexperimental, pre-and post-test, non-equivalent and prospective study conducted in two BabyFriendly hospitals located in Southeastern Brazil. Data collection was performed in two moments at the hospitals (intervention and control) with a minimum interval of 12 months, and at the intervention hospital, collection was before (M1) and after (M2) implementation of the Neo-BFHI. Data on the prevalence of EBF and health conditions of preterm infants were collected from medical charts and interviews with mothers, and regarding compliance with the Neo-BFHI through interviews with professionals and mothers, observation of neonatal wards and documentary analysis. Qualitative data were collected to monitor contextual factors. Implementation of the NeoBFHI was guided by the model of Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services of KT and by the Evidence-Based Practice Identification & Change strategy. Logistic regression with random effect was used for analysis of data on the prevalence of EBF and its predictive factors. This thesis integrates a multicenter project funded and approved by the Research Ethics Committee. The prevalence of EBF at discharge was significantly higher in the intervention hospital than in the control (p<0.01). This was a result from the difference detected in M1 (p<0.01) and in M2 (p=0.04), with higher rates (M1=48.1%; M2=40.8%) than in the control hospital (M1=3.1%; M2=17.2%). When comparing the moments intragroup, there was no significant difference in the intervention hospital (p=0.12) nor in the control (p=0.42). In the first month after discharge, the prevalence of EBF was significantly higher (p=0.02) in the intervention hospital (M1=46.1%; M2=29.8%) than in the control (M1=6.3%; M2=17.2%) because of the difference in M1 (p=0.02), since there was no difference in M2 (p=0.41). When comparing the moments intragroup, there was no significant difference in the intervention hospital (p=0.12) nor in the control (p=0.40). At the sixth month of life, when adding EBF and the predominant breastfeeding, there was no significant difference between the intervention and control hospitals (p=0.27) regardless of the time of collection; neither between hospitals in M1 (p=0.46) and in M2 (p=0.39), although the intervention hospital maintained higher rates (M1=14.3%; M2=10.6%) than the control (M1=3.6%; M2=3.4%). There was no significant difference intragroup in the intervention hospital (p=0.96) nor in the control (p=0.90). In the adjusted logistic regression, the only predictor of EBF was the duration of hospitalization only at hospital discharge. Practices related to Neo-BFHI guidelines improved significantly in the intervention hospital with increase of overall compliance with the Ten Steps from 33% to 67%, to the Three Guiding Principles from 43% to 86% and to the Code from 56% to 81%, which were not as marked in the control hospital. Thus, was reached the conclusion that implementation of KT-guided Neo-BFHI improved the clinical practice of promotion, protection and support to EBF with increased compliance with Neo-BFHI, but it was not sufficient to increase exclusive breastfeeding of preterm infants in the short term

SYFTE: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av familjefokuserad omvårdnad vid neonatalavdelningar.  METOD: En kvalitativ innehållsanalys av enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer med sjuksköterskor på två medelstora neonatalavdelningar i Sverige har genomförts. RESULTAT: Resultatet presenteras i fem kategorier: Sjuksköterskans upplevelse av föräldrar som vårdar sina barn, Stöd till föräldrar som vårdar sina barn, Sjuksköterskans åsikter om vårdens krav på föräldrarna, Sjuksköterskans upplevelse av kultur och genus inom familjefokuserad omvårdnad och Sjuksköterskans visioner för familjefokuserade omvårdnad. Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskorna var positiva till att arbeta familjefokuserat men att de upplever att det finns saker som kan förbättras, både för dem och för familjerna. SLUTSATS: Sjuksköterskorna trivs med arbetssättet men anser att det finns områden som kräver förbättring och att ledningen har stor betydelse i detta. Sjuksköterskorna anser att detta arbetssätt kan gynna både personal och familj på sikt. / PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experiences of family-focused care at neonatal units. METHOD: The method used is a qualitative content analysis of individual interviews with nurses at two medium neonatal units in Sweden. RESULTS: The results are presented in five categories: Nurse's experience of parents who care for their infants, Support for parents who care for their infants, Nurses' opinions on requirements from health care on parents, Nurse's experience of culture and gender in family-focused nursing and Nurse's visions for family focused care. The results showed that nurses in general liked working with family-focused care but that they feel that there are things that can be improved, both for them and for the families. CONCLUSION: The nurses enjoy working with family-focused care, but believed that there are areas that require improvement and management have great significance in this. The nurses believe that this approach can benefit both staff and family on the run.
