Methodological Procedures

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the NutriQoL® into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The NutriQoL® comprises 17 questions that evaluate the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The methodological procedures included the translation from the Spanish version into Portuguese by two translators, synthesis of the translations, back translation, evaluation by a committee of judges composed of 24 individuals in which a content validity index > 0.78 was considered acceptable, and generation of the pre-final version. A pre-test to analyze its semantic equivalence was administered to 12 patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The final version of the questionnaire was then prepared. Results A summary version of the questionnaire was obtained using two versions of the translation. Both back translations were identical for 73.6% of sentences (n=25). Twenty-four volunteers were included in the committee of judges. The content validity index was 0.88±0.11, and 14.7% (n=5) of questions had a low content validity index and were thus reformulated. In the pre-test, 35.3% (n=12) of items obtained low levels of understanding and required adjustment. In the preparation of the final version, the inconsistencies of the items mentioned were corrected and/or adjusted. Conclusion After completing the methodological procedures, a Brazilian Portuguese version of the NutriQoL® questionnaire was obtained. Following the validation process, it can be used by dieticians and other health professionals to assess the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy to contribute to improvements in care practices.

ABSTRACT Objective: to elaborate and validate face and content of a multi-professional educational booklet for the education of caregivers of patients in use of Home Enteral Nutrition Therapy. Method: a methodological study, conducted in two stages: (1) elaboration of the educational booklet, divided in four phases; and (2) validation of the educational material by 12 experts. A minimum agreement rate of 80% was considered to ensure validation of the material. Results: the material is structured in 16 items that were considered pertinent by the experts. Content assessment by the experts presented a global Content Validity Index of 0.87. The agreement level of the categories assessed varied from 83% to 90%. The suggestions in relation to content, clarity, pertinence and relevance were addressed and modified for the final version of the material. Conclusion: the educational booklet is considered valid regarding content. It is suggested that it may contribute to the understanding in health education in caregivers and family members of patients in use of enteral nutrition therapy.

Abstract Objective: to verify if national public policies and municipal programs contain elements that contribute to ensure the Human Right to Adequate Food (HRAF) of older adults undergoing home enteral nutrition therapy (HENT) and to propose the integration of these elements. Method: a qualitative study was carried out based on the content analysis of the documents of the National Policy for Older Adults (or PNI), the National Policy for the Health of Older Adults (or PNSPI) and the National Food and Nutrition Policy (or PNAN). Analysis of the relationships (co-occurrences) in programs of the 29 cities of the 2nd regional health region of Paraná to provide care for people with special dietary needs (SDN), such as older adults undergoing HENT, was also carried out. For the analysis of the relationships, the keywords older adult and right were used. Furthermore, the integration of national public policies and municipal programs was proposed. Results: the PNI, PNSPI and PNAN contain converging principles, guidelines and actions, but they are not fully integrated into the programs. Only seven cities with programs that aimed to organize care involving SDN were identified, documented in five protocols and two decrees. A co-occurrence was verified in three of the analyzed documents, but a relationship between the keywords older adult and right was not verified in the protocols and decrees. In the integration proposal, a network was described, based around the goal of reaching the center, which represents the HRAF for older adults undergoing HENT. Conclusion: national public policies contain elements to ensure the HRAF of older adults undergoing HENT, but the municipal programs do not include all these elements. A proposal to integrate the elements was created.

Efficacy Of Treatment

Malnutrition in hospitalised patients has a significant and disadvantageous impact on treatment outcome. If possible, enteral nutrition with an energy/protein-balanced nutrient should be preferred depending on the patient’s condition, type of illness and risk factors. The aim of the nutrition therapy is to increase the efficacy of treatment and shorten the length of hospital stay in order to ensure rapid rehabilitation. In the present review the authors summarize the most important clinical and practical aspects of enteral nutrition therapy. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(51), 2028–2033.

Prevention of disability is one of the most significant tasks of child and adolescent psychiatry. Obtaining data on the dynamics of the number of people with disabilities and the factors affecting this indicator seems to be one of the relevant aspects. Aim: to trace the dynamics of the number of children with disabili-ties and to assess the change in the structure of early disability over the past decades. Materials and Meth-ods. A comparative analysis of two cohorts of patients was carried out: 1st - patients born in 1990-1992. (1203 patients (men - 914, 76%; women - 289, 24%)) who applied to the district neuropsychiatric dispensa-ry for outpatient care in childhood and adolescence; II - children and adolescents born in 2005 - 2018 (602 patients (male - 410, 68%; female - 192, 32%), ob-served at the time of the study by a child psychiatrist in the neuropsychiatric dispensary. Research methods: clinical and psychopathological; follow-up; statisti-cal. Results. Comparison of the number and nosologi-cal distribution of disabled children in two cohorts showed that over the 15th year there has been a shift towards an increase in the proportion of disabled children among patients observed by child and ado-lescent psychiatrists. The increase in the number of children with disabilities was due to those suffering from childhood autism and other disorders of general development. There were no statistically significant differences in the number of people with disabilities who received benefits before the age of 7, as well as differences in gender ratios among disabled people in the two cohorts. Conclusion. Early disability is a mul-tifactorial phenomenon, prevalence, dynamics, the structure of which depends not only on clinical, but also on socio-administrative realities. Children with autism require increased attention, since there has been a multiple increase in the number of patients with this diagnosis.
