Objetivo: evaluar la presencia y extensión de los atributos esenciales de la Atención Primaria de Salud desde la perspectiva de los usuarios de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia. Método: estudio cuantitativo transversal, con 256 usuarios de 26 unidades de salud de la familia del estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil, realizado entre junio y diciembre de 2021. Se utilizó un cuestionario de caracterización y un Instrumento de Evaluación de Atención Primaria. Se realizó análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial. Resultados: los usuarios evaluaron que las unidades tenían un índice por debajo del nivel ideal de presencia y extensión de los atributos esenciales. Pero, los usuarios con un problema de salud evaluaron positivamente el puntaje esencial (p=0,001), el atributo longitudinalidad (p=0,024) y el atributo integralidad (p=0,001). Conclusión: evaluar periódicamente la presencia y extensión de los atributos permite orientar estrategias de fortalecimiento y contribuye a mejorar continuamente la Atención Primaria, en base a indicadores para una gestión de la salud calificada, y considerar la perspectiva de los usuarios marca la diferencia.

Introducción: Hoy día, se ha evidenciado una creciente en las crisis familiares por lo que resulta trascendente diseñar un nuevo instrumento documental para la evaluación de crisis familiares. Objetivo: Construir y validar un instrumento para la evaluación de crisis familiares. Materiales y métodos: En la evaluación cualitativa, se estimó la validez de contenido a través de la selección de 10 expertos, quienes a través de una guía de observación evaluaron la suficiencia, pertinencia y claridad de los ítems redactados. Los expertos hicieron observaciones que se tomaron en cuenta, dando lugar a una segunda ronda. Posteriormente se aplicó la prueba piloto a 260 derechohabientes mayores de 18 años, ambos sexos, donde los participantes hicieron sugerencias sobre el instrumento, por lo que se realizó una segunda prueba piloto. En la evaluación cuantitativa se estimó la validez interna y externa a través de la validez de constructo, la fiabilidad, la estabilidad y la validez de criterio. Finalmente, se construyó un instrumento de 9 dominios (matrimonio, expansión, dispersión, independencia, retiro, desmembramiento, incremento, desmoralización y desorganización) con 52 ítems. Resultados: Se validó un instrumento para evaluar crisis normativas y paranormativas con capacidad discriminatoria, arrojando varianzas distintas y una correlación de Pearson positiva. La fiabilidad fue de 0.965 a través del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach y un índice de Kappa de Cohen 0.843 para la reproducibilidad. El modelo regresión lineal confirmó la eficacia para predecir crisis normativas y paranormativas. Conclusiones: Se construyó y validó un instrumento, que permitirá evaluar crisis normativas y paranormativas.

Family members of alcohol dependents live intense emotional suffering that makes them vulnerable to the point of needing professional care. In Brazil, the Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs (CAPSad) is the public service of reference in psychosocial care for users of alcohol and other drugs. Based upon the lack of studies on interventions for family members of alcohol dependents in the CAPSad, contrasting with the profusion of works that deal with the dependent or the public policies that support the service, we elaborated three hypotheses about this gap. The first one proposes that at the center of this abscense of specific therapeutic modalities there is the idea that care for family members in the CAPSad is the same and does not depend on the peculiarities of each psychoactive substance. The second hypothesis derives from the fact that the constant threat of annihilation of the CAPSad themselves and the struggle for their survival would compromise the development of increasingly specialized interventions. At last, the hypothesis that the greater demand for assistance from multiple substance users would dismantle the proposal of interventions with family members of alcohol dependents. We expect that this study will contribute to the development of interventions in accord with the needs of this audience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Different management styles can modify families' functioning, favoring or compromising the care delivered to chronic childhood conditions. Objective: To analyze primary caregivers' perspectives on family management of chronic childhood conditions. Methodology: This qualitative study is based on the Family Management Style Framework (FMSF). Thirty-eight (38) interviews were conducted with 38 caregivers of chronically ill children attending a health institution in southeastern Brazil. The data were submitted to deductive thematic analysis. Results: Having a child with chronic illness was described as challenging and causing suffering, requiring families to reorganize their family routines to meet the chronically ill child's needs. The "perceived consequences" revealed families' perspectives and fears about the future and their recognition of the results of the "management behaviors" adopted. The family management styles identified were: "thriving," "accommodating," "struggling," "floundering," and "enduring." Conclusion: The primary caregiver's ability to manage the chronically ill child's needs depends on their access to professional, care, and intra-family resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to understand the way in which Family Health Strategy professionals conceptualize and approach families, and the difficulties and facilities arising from this work process. Method: a descriptive-exploratory, qualitative study. Data collected through interviews and submitted to content analysis, thematic modality. Results: two categories revealed that the conception of family is centered on affective relationships, with the bond being a factor that facilitates assistance, while the lack of professional preparation for a welcoming and inclusive approach to families that deviate from the heteronormative standard is an obstacle in daily services. Conclusion: the concept of family is predominantly based on affection, with traditional ways of conception and action persisting within it. Professionals have difficulty dealing with non-heteronormative families and those who do not take coresponsibility during the therapeutic process. The bond between professionals and families is crucial to overcoming the difficulties and weaknesses of the care process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The state of emergency caused by COVID-19 forced the adoption of social restriction measures to reduce contagion, including lockdowns. They impacted various aspects of human life and considerably affected family dynamics by causing families to remain at home, increasing the coping of crisis, and experiencing a transition to new ways of living. Objective: To analyze the relationships and processes experienced by families during the COVID-19 lockdown as told by mothers. Materials and Methods: A qualitative grounded theory study was conducted using indepth interviews with five mothers. Results: The results obtained emerged from a core category, "acquisition of new ways of living," and three categories that support it: 1) Coping with the pandemic onset, 2) adapting to the new normal in the family, 3) embracing the pandemic consequences in everyday life. Discussion: The process that Mexican families have gone through with COVID-19 has been different from that of other countries; living together at home was affected since their freedom to live day to day as they did was compromised. Conclusion: The participants expressed that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the family underwent a transition process in order to acquire new ways of living, which included habits, customs, and structures that met their.

Los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres se caracterizan por recibir expresiones de rechazo y estigmatización, ante el ideal heteronormativo de los hombres que tienen sexo solo con mujeres, circunstancias que propician la aparición de problemas en el grupo familiar. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo con el objetivo de comparar la funcionalidad familiar desde la perspectiva de los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres frente a los hombres que tienen sexo solo con mujeres, con un muestreo no probabilístico por bola de nieve. Los resultados indican mayores porcentajes de disfuncionalidad familiar entre los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres, en contraste a la funcionalidad moderada y normo-funcionalidad de los hombres que tienen sexo solo con mujeres, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p=.001). Se recomienda generar mayores evidencias al fondo común del conocimiento, a fin de derribar prejuicios, visibilizar la demanda de cuidado y promover la formulación de estrategias en atención a las necesidades de este grupo vulnerable.

Introducción: Los factores relacionados con la funcionalidad familiar en estudiantes universitarios podrían asociarse con la deserción académica e impactar de manera negativa sobre el rendimiento académico. Objetivo: Describir las relaciones entre las características sociodemográficas y familiares, con la funcionalidad familiar, el soporte de amigos y el rendimiento académico en los estudiantes de odontología de una universidad pública de la ciudad de Cartagena. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de corte transversal, con una muestra de 438 estudiantes. Se utilizó un instrumento tipo encuesta sobre variables sociodemográficas, características familiares y de la vivienda. Los datos fueron analizados a partir de estadística descriptiva y análisis bivariados con la prueba Chi cuadrado de Pearson. Resultados: Se observó una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la edad y la funcionalidad familiar (p=0,0029). Asimismo, se obtuvo una relación significativa entre la procedencia y el soporte de amigos (p=0,0230), así como entre la baja escolaridad y la funcionalidad familiar (p=0,0018). Conclusiones: La identificación de los factores que se relacionan con la funcionalidad familiar y el soporte de amigos pueden contribuir a determinar qué aspectos deben considerarse para el diseño e implementación de intervenciones académicas dirigidas a estudiantes del programa.

Highlights: Las relaciones familiares se ven afectadas por el confinamiento y las medidas sociales de restricción para evitar el contagio por COVID-19.

The aim of the study was to analyze the perception of primary care workers about the interprofessional performance of the oral health teams (OHT). With a descriptive and qualitative approach, semi-structured and audio-recorded interviews, were conducted individually in a closed environment, with professionals from the Family Health Strategy (FHS) and the Expanded Nucleus of Family Health and Primary Care (ENFH-PC) from the city of Londrina, PR, Brazil. Thus, the sample consisted of: two dentists, two nurses, two pharmacists, two physiotherapists, two physicians, two nutritionists, two physical education professionals and two psychologists. The semi-structured script consisted of two parts: the first with questions about the professional profile of respondents and the second with guiding questions about the perception of interprofessional work, knowledge of the activities performed by the dentist and OHT, as well as the integration and articulation of OHT with other health professionals (potentialities and weaknesses). Using the Bardin Content Analysis technique, the answers were grouped into analysis categories: a) workers' perceptions regarding interprofessional work, b) integration between Dentistry and c) FHS/ENFH-PC, and Dentistry's potentialities and weaknesses in interprofessional practice. With the insertion of Dentistry in the FHS expanded access to dental services, a point highlighted as potentiality. However, the activities developed by OHT remained associated with the technical and individual procedures. It was concluded that interprofessional practices are still a challenge for dental workers in the FHS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: During cardiac surgery postoperative care, physical, psychological, and social problems arise, affecting the patient's self-care agency, which brings with it the need for a caregiver during recovery. Objective: To determine the relationship between primary caregivers' burden level and the self-care agency of cardiac surgical patients. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical, and correlational design was used. Patients (n=86) and caregivers (n=86) attending a cardiac surgery program from a high complexity medical center in Cúcuta, Colombia, participated and were selected using non-probability quota sampling. Self-care Agency Scale (SAS) and Zarit Burden Interview were used in the study. Results: Among the caregivers with severe burden, 83.33% cared for patients with low self-care agency. In the mild-burden caregivers' group, 63% of the patients had middle self-care agency. Most patients (71.01%) of caregivers with no burden had middle self-care agency, but 20.29% exhibited high self-care agency. Discussion: the capacity for self-care agency reduces the level of caregiver burden, when the patient manages to adapt to the activities that contribute to care, the level of dependency decreases. Conclusion: The research demonstrated the relationship between these two variables. Patients and caregivers must be addressed to achieve self-care empowerment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Agencia de autocuidado, un aspecto primordial en la rehabilitación de pacientes con cirugía cardiaca. • Cuidar, es un acto de compromiso no solo con la persona que requiere cuidado sino con el cuidador mismo. • Una adecuada adaptación de los pacientes de cirugía cardiaca en su rol de autocuidado contribuye a la reducción de sobrecarga del cuidador principal. • La relación entre agencia de autocuidado y sobrecarga del cuidador evidencia la importancia de estrategias que favorezcan el cuidado del paciente y su cuidador. Introducción: Durante el posoperatorio de cirugía cardiaca surgen problemas físicos, psicológicos y sociales, que afectan la capacidad de agencia de autocuidado del paciente, lo cual trae consigo la necesidad de un cuidador durante su recuperación. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre el nivel de sobrecarga del cuidador principal y la agencia de autocuidado del paciente de cirugía cardiaca. Materiales y Métodos: Se planteó un diseño descriptivo de corte transversal, analítico correlacional, participaron pacientes (n=86) y cuidadores (n=86) del programa de cirugía cardiaca, en una institución de alta complejidad en Cúcuta – Colombia, seleccionados con muestreo no probabilístico por cuotas, se aplicó la escala de valoración de agencia de autocuidado ASA y la escala de sobrecarga del cuidador de Zarit. Resultados: En cuidadores con una sobrecarga intensa, el 83,33% tenían a su cargo pacientes con baja capacidad de autocuidado. En el grupo de cuidadores con sobrecarga leve, el 63% los pacientes tenían capacidad de agencia de autocuidado media, mientras que, los cuidadores sin sobrecarga, la mayoría de sus pacientes (71, 01%) tenía una capacidad de agencia de autocuidado media, pero un 20,29% exhibió una alta capacidad de autocuidado. Discusión: La capacidad de agencia de autocuidado reduce el nivel de sobrecarga del cuidador, cuando el paciente logra adaptarse a las actividades que contribuyen al cuidado, disminuye el nivel de dependencia. Conclusiones: La investigación demostró la relación entre estas dos variables, se debe abordar a pacientes y cuidadores para alcanzar el empoderamiento del autocuidado.

Objective: To determine if there is an association between family repercussions and social support in patients with spinal cord lesions. Methods: An observational study was conducted in a rehabilitation institute of the Ministry of Health including 50 families of patients with spinal cord injuries. Family repercussion was evaluated using the family impact scale (IRFA) and social support was evaluated through the Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey (MOS). Results: 44% of patients and 58% of relatives were in between 30-59 years of age; 34% of caregivers were married with the patient; 62% of families lived in extreme poverty; 78% of patients had paraplegia and 48% had ASIA A lesions. Overall repercussion occurred in 68% and negative repercussions occurred in 94%. Mean social support in emotional/informational, instrumental, affective and positive social interaction was 27.8 ± 4.7, 15.2 ± 2.5, 11.3 ± 1.9, and 12.8 ± 2.4 points, respectively. An association of gender (p=0.043), age of patient (p=0.013) and parental relationship (p=0.014) was found with family repercussion. However, no relationship was found between social support and family repercussions. Conclusions: No differences in social support and family repercussion were found among relatives of patients suffering from spinal cord injuries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fundamento: Las investigaciones que intentan relacionar el funcionamiento familiar y el esfuerzo percibido por el cuidador primario de niños con enfermedades neurológicas, documentan resultados divergentes e insuficientes. Objetivo: identificar la relación entre el funcionamiento familiar y el esfuerzo percibido por el cuidador primario de niños con enfermedades neurológicas. Métodos: estudio de serie de casos, realizado en el Servicio de Neuropsicología, del Centro Internacional de Restauración Neurológica, en el segundo semestre de 2018. Los participantes fueron 12 cuidadores de niños entre uno y seis años de edad. Se aplicó entrevista estructurada, índice de esfuerzo del cuidador, escala de funcionamiento familiar/FF-SIL, inventario de características familiares de riesgo y análisis documental. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, comparación de medias y correlación de Spearman. Resultados: el 92 % de los cuidadores no había recibido información de cómo cuidarse, ni de cómo cuidar a su hijo. El índice de esfuerzo del cuidador manifestó iguales proporciones para los niveles elevado y bajo (50 % respectivamente). Se observó relación entre edad de los cuidadores y edad de desarrollo de los niños y el funcionamiento familiar (r=0,71, r=0,67); así como entre el índice de esfuerzo del cuidador y el inventario de riesgos familiares (r=0,72). Conclusión: Los cuidadores primarios estudiados carecen de información de autocuidado y del cuidado de su hijo; una criticidad elevada y un índice de esfuerzo del cuidador heterogéneo, lo cual se relaciona con los riesgos familiares. La edad de los cuidadores y la edad de desarrollo de los niños influyen en el funcionamiento familiar.

Objective: to understand the meanings of mourning for people who faced the death of a family member due to COVID-19. Method: qualitative study, action-participant type, based on the assumptions of Paulo Freire. Participants were 16 family members living on the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil. A Culture Circle was held in a virtual way, following the stages of the Freire’s Itinerary. Results: the participants meant that the experience of mourning the family, due to COVID-19, took them the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved one. The pandemic also took away their jobs, their children’s face-to-face classes, meetings, weddings, hugs and smiles. But it also meant that it brought learning, with strengthening of spirituality and family. Conclusion: the meaning of mourning permeated countless losses, restricting the experience of the stages of mourning. However, there was a greater search for spirituality and religion, with appreciation of family and life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fundamento: el afrontamiento del cáncer constituye un proceso crítico en la vida familiar que está modulado por el apoyo social y los recursos adaptativos. Objetivo: determinar la afectación que produce a la salud familiar el diagnóstico de cáncer en el adulto mayor. Método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo con enfoque mixto, con diseño no experimental, transversal y retrospectivo, en 40 familias del consejo popular Centro Victoria de Sagua la Grande, entre enero de 2016 y junio de 2017, seleccionadas mediante un muestreo no probabilístico intencional. Las variables estudiadas fueron: nivel de repercusión del cáncer, sentido asignado, impacto en la salud familiar, apoyo social, recursos adaptativos y afectación a la salud familiar. Se aplicó la metodología propuesta por González y Herrera. Se evaluó asociación entre variables por medio del método no paramétrico de Spearman. Resultados: en el 62,5 % de las familias el cáncer tuvo repercusión moderada, predominó su valoración negativa en el 57,5 %. En el 52,5 % provocó un impacto predisponente a la afectación de la salud familiar. El 55 % no posee suficientes recursos adaptativos para afrontar el proceso, al tiempo que el 52,5 % recibió apoyo frecuente; en el 52,5 % hubo poca afectación a la salud familiar y solo en el 5 % gran afectación. Conclusiones: la valoración negativa de la repercusión del cáncer, determinó el predominio del nivel de impacto predisponente a la afectación de la salud familiar pero los recursos adaptativos y el apoyo social modularon el nivel de impacto por lo que resultó poco el grado de afectación a la salud familiar.

Se realizó un estudio transversal, descriptivo, que tuvo por objetivo abordar el cuidado de la familia y al sujeto como un ser integral, funcionando dentro de un ámbito familiar y social, aplicando el Proceso de Enfermería y la Teoría de Autocuidado de Orem, brindando un cuidado de apoyo, guía e información, realizando acciones y actividades de autocuidado, dado que la mayoría de éstos son proporcionados en la familia por sus miembros.

Objetivo: comprender los conocimientos, posturas y actitudes (representaciones sociales) sobre maltrato infantil que poseen odontólogos trabajadores de instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud (IPS) de Santa Marta. Métodos: el presente estudio hace uso de un paradigma cualitativo, y su enfoque es etnometodológico. La técnica de recolección de la información es la entrevista semiestructurada, aplicada sobre una muestra de diez (10) odontólogos de IPS de Santa Marta, y determinada según el criterio de saturación de la muestra. Resultados: como resultado surgen dos categorías relacionadas con conocimientos y actitudes, que permitieron establecer que los odontólogos tienen conocimientos referentes a la definición del maltrato infantil y a sus signos físicos y conductuales, identifican a los perpetradores, e incluso reconocen la importancia de tomar medidas preventivas y de protección, aunque discrepan frente a los protocolos que utilizan o no para dicha intervención. Adicionalmente, los odontólogos manifiestan actitudes de rechazo, deseos de justicia y evitación de malas prácticas, y comparten las acciones de responsabilidad y compromiso profesional. Conclusiones: fue posible establecer que el colectivo de odontólogos posee diversas percepciones e interpretaciones dentro de su representación social del maltrato infantil; por ello, su conocimiento podría resultar útil para identificar debilidades en su forma de intervenir y, de este modo, orientar su intervención a prácticas más oportunas.
