OBJECTIVES: To identify the perception of pain in children with Cerebral Palsy by the caregiver and its relationship with functionality based on quantitative and qualitative aspects. METHOD: Observational study of the case series type. Interviews were conducted via the Google Meet platform or in person with the informal primary caregivers of children with CP, in which the following scales were applied: Motor Function Classification System - GMFCS, Inventory of Pain Behaviors in Neurological Disability (ICDDN), Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory - PEDI and a five-question questionnaire prepared by the authors. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Five children participated in the study, four males and one female. Regarding the GMFCS, four of the five children presented a similar level (GMFCS IV and V) and one GMFCS II. The PEDI scores indicated a functional performance that was lower or close to the average of these children in carrying out activities of daily living, that is, a delay in the development of functional skills and the need for assistance from the caregiver were identified. Regarding the perception of pain, all children felt musculoskeletal pain, but caregivers of verbal children noticed pain more frequently than nonverbal ones. Pain, whether musculoskeletal or not, negatively interferes with the functionality of children with CP. CONCLUSION: There is a similarity in the functional profile of children with CP. Pain is present constantly, with musculoskeletal pain being more frequent. However, informal caregivers still have difficulty perceiving pain, especially in children with nonverbal communication. Therefore, the need to create public policies aimed at health education for caregivers and health professionals to enable this becomes clear. 2025-03-27T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/23964 Título: Perfil clínico de recém-nascidos em uma unidade neonatal no município de Lagarto-SE Autor(es): Menezes, Maiara Santana de Abstract: Introduction: Newborn health care is of fundamental importance, since the neonatal period is characterized by biological, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural risks. Conventional Neonatal Intermediate Care Units (NICUs) are responsible for the care of newborns who require continuous assistance, but with less complexity than the NICU. The physiotherapist's role in these units includes assessment, treatment and monitoring of the functionality of the respiratory, cardiovascular and neuromotor components of newborns (NBs) and preterm newborns (PTNBs). Objective: To identify the clinical profile of newborns treated by Physiotherapy in a neonatal unit of a maternity hospital in the city of Lagarto-SE. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study was carried out in a maternity hospital, with a sample composed of newborns admitted to the Conventional Intermediate Care Unit. Data collection took place over a two-month period, with observation of electronic medical records and was carried out through a questionnaire developed by the authors. Results: The final sample consisted of 56 medical records of newborns who were referred to the UCINco of the Zacarias Júnior Maternity Hospital, in Lagarto/SE, between January and November 2024. Among the data obtained, it was observed that 70% of the puerperal women (n=28) were between 19 and 30 years old, approximately 20% (n=8) of the puerperal women came from municipalities outside the territory of Sergipe. Regarding the obstetric, neonatal and clinical data of the hospitalization, only 7.5% (n=3) of the pregnant women had less than 5 prenatal consultations and the most prevalent complication during pregnancy was syphilis infection (17.5%; n=7). Regarding the neonatal profile, there was a predominance of males (57.5%; n=23), the most prevalent diagnosis at admission to the NICU was sepsis (17.5%; n=7), and most newborns remained hospitalized between 2-5 days (60%; n=24), with 7.5% (n=3) requiring transfer to a higher intensive care unit and 2.5% (n=1) dying. Conclusion: It is evident that the newborns admitted to the NICU of the Zacarias Junior Maternity Hospital have a mixed profile, because although the majority meet the profile recommended by the Ministry of Health for this type of intensive care, the unit also accommodates more complex cases in which interventions demanded greater technology, required transfers, and/or the patient died. 2025-03-27T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/23963 Título: Perfil epidemiológico das pessoas iletradas e letradas não funcionais atendidas na atenção primária à saúde do município de Lagarto Autor(es): Santos, Layla Karoline Lima dos Abstract: Introduction: Although guaranteed in Chapter III of the 1988 Federal Constitution, especially in Art. 205 to 214, which establishes access to basic education for all as a fundamental right and the State's duty to provide it, and already in Art. 196 of the 1988 Federal Constitution, which ensures health as a right for all, the flaws are clear and reflected in the process of illiteracy and non-functional literacy, especially in the health area, taking away the population's potential autonomy to participate in the health-disease process. Objective: To describe the demographic profile and socioeconomic reality of people in a situation of illiteracy and functional illiteracy who use Primary Health Care (PHC) in the municipality of Lagarto-SE. Methodology: Descriptive observational epidemiological study with data collected in the years 2023-2024. Adults between 18 and 65 years old participated in this study. Users with vision problems or who were unable to read at the time of the survey/interview for some reason were not allowed to participate in the study. The UBSs were: Maroto, David, Leandro Maciel, Margarida do Espirito Santo, Josefa Romão, and Alto da Boa Vista. The structured sociodemographic questionnaire was created by the researchers, with open and closed questions, through which they recorded data on aspects of the sociodemographic profile and clinical characteristics. This questionnaire followed models from IBGE, ENCCEJA, and INEP. The questionnaire that assesses the functional level of literacy was developed using as reference the Manual of Assessment and Monitoring of the Brazil Literacy Program (PBA), consisting of three activities. Results: 90 valid responses were obtained, in which the socioeconomic characteristics of the participants were analyzed, such as sex, age, ethnicity, occupation, and level of education. Conclusion: The results showed socioeconomic factors and singularities that can influence the problem of illiteracy and functional illiteracy, highlighting the importance of actions aimed at promoting the autonomy of the population in the health area. 2025-03-28T00:00:00Z https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/23962 Título: Fisioterapia aquática na osteoartrite de quadril: uma revisão de escopo sobre os protocolos de tratamento utilizados Autor(es): Lima, Filipe Gabriel Oliveira; Santana, Sávio Silveira Abstract: Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that affects a large number of people worldwide. In Brazil, it is considered the 4th disease that most affects individuals due to absence from work, generating a relatively high socioeconomic impact due to the functional limitations, pain, and disabilities that generate absences from work. The use of aquatic physiotherapy (AP) in cases of hip OA has been investigated for more than two decades. Evidence with high methodological quality has been reported inferring that aquatic exercises are more advantageous for this population than land-based exercises. However, there is no review that compiles and organizes the various protocols used in clinical practice. Objective: To describe, classify, and map the AP protocols used in the treatment of hip OA, compiling the different approaches described in the literature with the aim of providing support for clinical practice. Methodology: This is a scoping review carried out according to the PRISMA Scope Review criteria. The search was conducted in the Scielo, Virtual Health Library, PubMed, PEDro and Cochrane databases, in addition to gray literature journals. Results: A total of 398 studies were identified, of which 7 were selected for the final sample. Among the studies analyzed, different methodological designs were observed, including systematic reviews with and without meta-analysis, and randomized clinical trials. The research covered all continents. The final sample showed a predominance of females and the majority had a mean age of 65 years. There was great variability in the protocols used in aquatic physiotherapy, however, most consisted of adaptations of kinesiotherapy performed on land. In the outcomes presented, surprisingly, few studies investigated structure and participation. Conclusion: The scoping review performed demonstrated that aquatic physiotherapy has high evidence in the treatment of hip OA. However, no specific methods or concepts of treatment in AF was used and few studies had body structure and participation as primary outcomes. 2025-03-28T00:00:00Z
