Social representations of radical prostatectomy from the perspective of men undergoing surgery* Bianca de Moura Peloso-Carvalho, Rogério Silva Lima, José Vitor da Silva, Eliza Maria Rezende Dázio, Murilo César do Nascimento, et al. Revista Da Escola De Enfermagem Da USP, 2025 Objective: To understand the social representations of radical prostatectomy from the perspective of men undergoing surgery. Method: Qualitative, descriptive research, based on the theory of Social Representations. Sixty men diagnosed with prostate cancer and undergoing radical prostatectomy, who were assisted in a municipality in southern Minas Gerais, participated. Data collection took place between February and September 2022, through interviews and access to medical records. The characterization data were tabulated and presented in absolute and relative frequency and the qualitative data were transcribed and analyzed using the Collective Subject Discourse method. Results: Eleven Central Ideas were identified, associated with negative impacts on sexual and urinary functions and male identity; with neutrality, through satisfactory adaptation and positive perceptions: healing, relief and satisfaction; and with decision and confidence in the surgical procedure. Conclusion: Social representations revealed a complexity of experiences related to satisfaction, adaptation and dissatisfaction with post-surgical results.
Woman with cancer: cross-sectional analysis of health-related quality of life and social support Lilian Miranda Belineli, Eliza Maria Rezende Dázio, Eliane Garcia Rezende, Namie Okino Sawada, Murilo César do Nascimento, et al. Revista Gaucha De Enfermagem, 2025 Objective: To verify the correlation between perceived social support and health-related quality of life among women diagnosed with cancer. Method: Analytical cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 with a sample of 119 women diagnosed with cancer treated at a reference hospital for oncological treatment in the southern region of Minas Gerais. Data collection was carried out through interviews and medical record analysis. The Medical Outcomes Study social support scale and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire were used. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s correlation test. Results: There was a positive correlation between all types of social support and the emotional and social functions of quality of life. Emotional/information, affective, and positive social interaction supports were positively correlated with global health status and negatively correlated with appetite loss. Conclusion: Higher social support scores were correlated with a better quality of life among the women with cancer assessed. By identifying the specific types of social support that can improve certain dimensions of quality of life, nursing professionals will be able to plan and implement interventions more effectively.
Prevalence of systemic complications of COVID-19 in critically ill patients: systematic review with meta-analysis Namie Okino Sawada, Tiago Marques dos Reis, Patrícia Scotini Freitas, Camila Mendonça de Moraes, Bianca de Moura Peloso-Carvalho, et al. Revista Latino Americana De Enfermagem, 2025 Objective: to identify the prevalence of systemic complications of COVID-19 in critically ill patients, to estimate the clinical conditions that may have a worse prognosis when associated with COVID-19. Method: systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies, based on the recommendations of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis for systematic reviews of prevalence and incidence, in six databases and grey literature, period 2020 to 2024, languages Portuguese, English and Spanish. We identified 2393 publications. The selection, data extraction and methodological evaluation of the studies were carried out by two independent researchers. The meta-analysis was performed using the Freeman Tukey transformational random-effects statistical method. Results: ten papers were included. The meta-analysis of seven papers dealing with respiratory complications due to COVID-19 demonstrated a mean prevalence of 42%, (95% CI 0.2-0.66) with heterogeneity I2=97.4; the meta-analysis of 4 papers involving the prevalence of neurological complications due to COVID-19 showed an average prevalence of 62%, (95% CI 0.49- 0.74) with heterogeneity I2=87.4 and the meta-analysis of 8 studies showed a prevalence of mortality due to COVID-19 of 33%, (95% CI 0.23- 0.44) with heterogeneity I2=93.6. Conclusion: respiratory and neurological complications were the most prevalent in the reviewed studies. PROSPERO Registration: CRD42020214617.
Chronicity in the 21st century: facing the challenges of a changing society Namie Okino Sawada, Silvana Maria Coelho Leite Fava, Bianca de Moura Peloso-Carvalho Revista Brasileira De Enfermagem, 2023 of Currently, there is an increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), population aging and changes in lifestyle, which corroborates the increase in chronicity, one of the greatest challenges faced by contemporary society. In this editorial, we will examine chronicity in the 21st century and the need to address this problem in a comprehensive and sustainable way. In recent years, we have witnessed a significant increase in the number of people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, among others. These diseases have a profound impact on people’s quality of life, because they impose adaptations on the way of life and a substantial economic burden on families and health systems, which need to be understood in the care management process in the Health Care Network. A Brazilian study showed that, in the last decade, there was an increase in the prevalence of depression, cancer, diabetes, neuropsychiatric disorders, chronic lung problems and musculoskeletal disorders. Those Brazilians affected with at least one NCD, over time, were covered by the Family Health Strategy, but there was a reduction in timely medical care and obtaining free prescription drugs(1). Thus, it is crucial to understand the underlying causes to support effective public policies for NCD prevention and control. Another important factor that contributes to chronicity is the aging of the population. Technological advances and better living conditions have led to longevity; however, aging leads to an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, which requires an adaptation of the health system to meet older adults’ demands, providing adequate, comprehensive and quality care. The globalized and urbanized world brought changes in lifestyle that impacted the emergence of chronic diseases. The majority of the population has adopted unhealthy habits, such as fatty diets, sedentary lifestyle, alcoholism and smoking, which have contributed to the increase of these diseases. Thus, programs to promote healthy lifestyles and awareness of associated risks are essential to prevent and control chronicity, in which the health system must promote primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary prevention based on evidence. Chronicity constitutes a major challenge for the health system, since resources are limited, health services are not integrated and care is often fragmented. To overcome these challenges, an interprofessional and collaborative approach is needed, involving health professionals, governments, academic institutions and civil society, with the aim of developing innovative and sustainable approaches in managing this situation. In view of this, in order to achieve an integrated approach to chronic health care, it is necessary to transition from a model focused on the disease to a model centered on integrated and person-centered care(2), being increasingly encouraged by international guidelines, with an emphasis on health promotion for disease prevention with self-management and effective coordination of care. Using technologies, such as telemedicine and artificial intelligence, can help in the monitoring, diagnosis of diseases and follow-up of people with NCDs. A systematic review on machine learning has shown that the machine can learn to predict the occurrence of individual chronic Chronicity in the 21st century: facing the challenges of a changing society
Implicações da depressão na qualidade de vida do idoso: estudo seccional Edison Vitório de Souza Júnior, Diego Pires Cruz, Cristiane dos Santos Silva, Randson Souza Rosa, Bianca de Moura Peloso-Carvalho, et al. Enfermeria Global, 2022 Objective: To analyze the association between depressive symptoms and quality of life in older adults. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out between July and October, in 2020, with 596 older adults who answered three instruments, namely: bio-sociodemographic, Geriatric Depression Scale and WHOQOL-Old. Data were analyzed using Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman correlation and linear regression tests, considering a 95% confidence interval (p<0.05). Results: Depressive symptoms were negatively and statistically significantly associated with all facets of quality of life: sensory abilities (β= -1.922 [CI95%= -2.328 – -1.517]); autonomy (β= -2.410 [CI95%= -2.755 - -2.064]); past, present and future activities (β= -3.534 [CI95%= -3.879 – -3.189]); social participation (β= -3.436 [CI95%= -3.816 – -3.056]); death and dying (β= -2.260 [CI95%= -2.792 – -1.728]) and intimacy (β= -3.547 [CI95%= -3,900 – -3.194]). Conclusion: The presence of depressive symptoms is negatively associated with the quality of life of older adults, thus requiring interventions in this area.
