RESUMO

Background: Vascular diseases are associated with significant sequelae and clinical repercussions for the lives of affected patients, which are more serious among the elderly. The consequences of vascular disease, such as limb loss, chronic pain, prolonged hospitalization, and polypharmacy, reduce these patients' autonomy and independence, influencing their wellbeing and quality of life. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of depression and assess functional capacity in patients with vascular diseases admitted to a Vascular Surgery Service. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out at the Vascular Surgery Service of a tertiary hospital with a non-random sample of patients selected consecutively. The geriatric depression scale short form (GDS-15) was used to assess depression and the Katz scale was used for functional assessment. Results: The prevalence of depression in these patients was 60.6%. Associations were observed between depression and consultation with a family doctor in the last 12 months, alcoholism, claudication, diabetes, and individuals who had had an amputation. Individuals' Katz index functional capacity scores were significantly associated with sociodemographic variables, conditions related to vascular disease, and hospitalization. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of depression in patients with vascular diseases admitted to a vascular surgery service and important reductions in functional capacity in some groups, such as individuals with low educational levels, those who had chronic pain in the lower limbs, patients with diabetes, and those who had had an amputation.

RESUMO

Resumo Contexto As doenças vasculares estão associadas a importantes sequelas e repercussões clínicas nas vidas dos pacientes acometidos e, em maior relevância, entre os idosos. Consequências da doença vascular como a perda de um membro, dor crônica, internamentos prolongados e a polifarmácia geram, nesses pacientes, perda de autonomia e um grau de dependência, que vão influenciar o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida. Objetivos Determinar a ocorrência de depressão e avaliar a capacidade funcional em pacientes com doenças vasculares internados em um serviço de cirurgia vascular. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal, prospectivo, realizado no serviço de cirurgia vascular de um hospital terciário, com uma amostra não aleatória selecionada de forma consecutiva. Para avaliar a depressão, foi utilizada a escala de depressão geriátrica resumida e, para a avaliação funcional do indivíduo, foi utilizada a escala de Katz. Resultados A prevalência de depressão nesses pacientes foi de 60,6%. Foi observada associação entre depressão e: consulta com médico do Programa de Estratégia de Saúde da Família nos últimos 12 meses, etilismo, claudicação, diabetes e indivíduos que sofreram amputação. Já em relação à capacidade funcional do indivíduo avaliado através do índice de Katz, ocorreram associações significativas entre variáveis sociodemográficas, condições relacionadas a doença vascular e internamento. Conclusões Existem uma alta prevalência de depressão em pacientes com doenças vasculares internados em um serviço de cirurgia vascular e uma redução importante da capacidade funcional em alguns grupos, como os indivíduos de baixa escolaridade, os que sentiam dor crônica nos membros inferiores, os diabéticos e aqueles que sofreram amputação.

RESUMO

Popliteal artery aneurysms are the most frequent type of peripheral aneurysm, accounting for 85% of the all of these aneurysms. Usually asymptomatic, they are generally diagnosed during clinical examination. Incidence is higher among males and seniors. They are bilateral in 50% of the cases and 60% are associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms. This paper describes a 72-year-old male patient who presented with two bilateral pulsatile masses, one in each popliteal region, was otherwise asymptomatic, and had a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia. Clinical examination and ultrasound imaging confirmed a diagnosis of bilateral aneurysms of the popliteal arteries. Popliteal artery aneurysms can be treated with open bypass surgery, with or without aneurysm resection, or with endovascular surgery. This Therapeutic Challenge discusses these possibilities.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent neuropsychiatric conditions and are associated with chronic diseases, pain, loss of autonomy, dependence on others to perform routine activities, and loneliness. Depression often has a cause-and-effect relationship with other diseases, such as: acute myocardial infarction (AMI), systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). OBJECTIVES: To estimate the frequency of anxiety and depression in patients of both sexes with PAD admitted to a tertiary hospital. METHODS: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a non-random sample selected consecutively. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess anxiety and depression, and the ankle-brachial index (ABI) was used to assess PAD. RESULTS: The prevalence of anxiety in these patients was 24.4%, with associations between anxiety and monthly family income, smoking, and SAH. The prevalence of depression was 27.6%, with associations between depression and the female gender, being married or in a stable relationship, living on a family income of one minimum wage or less, not being an alcoholic, and having hypertension. CONCLUSIONS: There are high prevalence rates of anxiety and depressive disorders among patients with PAD, which are underdiagnosed and, hence, not properly treated.

RESUMO

Introduction: Agricultural work is considered a dangerous activity with physical and mental stress. Pain is one of the most common disabilities among agricultural workers. Objective: To determine the incidence, intensity, characteristic of pain and its impact on labor activities in farmers. Methods: Transversal study, pain evaluations consist of: 1) presence / intensity; 2) characteristic of painful experience; 3) episode of pain in the last 30 days and 4) interference of pain at work. Validated and specific pain scales were used, and descriptive statistics were applied. Results: 157 rural farmers were recruited, 128 farmers, 40.4 (11.4) years, participated in the study, 25% of the farmers reported pain at the time of evaluation with mean of 5.5 (0.47) intensity. The predominant pain characteristic was the evaluative type (34%), followed by affective (30%), 83 (65%) of farmers reported pain in the last four weeks, and 60% of these farmers reported pain interference in work activity. Conclusion: Pain, according to farmers in this study, is the main cause of absence and poor performance at work. To accurately assess the intensity of work-related pain, instruments may need to be applied over a continuous period of time, preferably during work day. (AU)


Introdução: O trabalho agrícola possui elevada carga de estresse físico e mental. A dor é uma das incapacidades mais relatadas, compreender esse fenômeno e sua interferência no trabalho é fundamental para intervenções eficazes na saúde do trabalhador. Objetivo: Determinar a incidência, intensidade, característica da dor e seu impacto no trabalho em agricultores. Métodos: Estudo transversal, as avaliações da dor contemplaram: 1) presença/intensidade; 2) característica da experiência dolorosa; 3) dor no último mês e, 4) interferência da dor no trabalho. Todas as escalas eram validadas e específicas para cada objetivo e a análise estatística foi descritiva. Resultados: 157 agricultores foram recrutados, participaram 128 agricultores, 40,4 (11,4) anos, 25% dos agricultores referiram dor no momento da avaliação com intensidade média 5,5 (0,47). A característica da dor predominante foi do tipo avaliativa (34%), seguida pela afetiva (30%). 83 agricultores (65%) referiram ocorrência de dor no último mês, e 60% destes relataram interferência da dor no trabalho. Conclusão: A dor, segundo os agricultores, é causadora de ausência e mau rendimento no trabalho. Avaliar com precisão a intensidade da dor relacionada ao trabalho talvez necessite de instrumentos aplicados em um período contínuo no tempo, durante a jornada de trabalho. (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: Determinar a ocorrência de exposição ocupacional a fluidos biológicos em acidentes com perfurocortantes na equipe de enfermagem hospitalar. Métodos: Avaliou-se 747 profissionais, com base em questionários para acidentes de trabalho, mediante entrevista. Resultados: Dos 747 entrevistados, 53,9% sofreram acidentes com perfurocortantes. O risco aumentado de sofrer acidentes relacionou-se com o sexo feminino, horário diurno de trabalho e profissões técnico e auxiliar de enfermagem. Grande parte dos acidentes ocorreu por reencape de agulhas e descarte inadequado dos materiais, por falta de atenção. Mais de um terço dos acidentados não comunicou o acidente. Conclusão: Os profissionais estudados mantêm posturas de risco que devem ser combatidas com políticas de educação em saúde, reforçando a importância da comunicação das ocorrências.


Objective: To determine the occurrence of occupational exposure to biological fluids in sharps injuries in the hospital nursing team. Methods: A total of 747 professionals were interviewed, based on questionnaires for work accidents. Results: Of the 747 interviewees, 53.9% suffered accidents by sharp instruments. The increased risk of accidents was related to the female sex, daytime work hours and nursing technician and assistant professions. A large part of the accidents occurred due to needle recapping and inadequate disposal of materials, due to lack of attention. More than a third of the victims did not report the accident. Conclusion: The studied professionals have attitudes of risk that must be tackled with policies of health education, reinforcing the importance of the communication of occurrences.

RESUMO

Ansiedade e depressão são afecções neuropsiquiátricas altamente prevalentes e estão associadas a doenças crônicas, dor, perda de autonomia, dependência para realização de atividades rotineiras e solidão. A depressão, muitas vezes, possui relação de causa-consequência com outras doenças, como infarto agudo do miocárdio, hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS), diabetes mellitus e doença arterial periférica (DAP). Objetivos Estimar a frequência de ansiedade e depressão em pacientes de ambos os sexos com DAP, internados em hospital terciário. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, com uma amostra não aleatória selecionada de forma consecutiva. Para avaliar a ansiedade e a depressão, foi utilizada a Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS) e, para a DAP, foi utilizado o índice tornozelo-braquial (ITB). Resultados A prevalência de ansiedade nesses pacientes foi de 24,4%, havendo associação entre ansiedade e renda familiar mensal, tabagismo e HAS. Já a prevalência de depressão foi de 27,6%, sendo verificadas associações entre depressão e sexo feminino, em união estável ou casada, que sobrevive com até um salário mínimo, não etilista e hipertensa. Conclusões É possível perceber que há uma alta prevalência de transtornos de ansiedade e depressão nos pacientes com DAP. Esses transtornos são subdiagnosticados e, consequentemente, não são devidamente tratados

RESUMO

A true aneurysm of the dorsal artery of the foot is a rare medical finding and its principal causes and clinical manifestations are not well known. A 49-year-old female patient presented with a pulsatile mass on the dorsal part of her right foot. Clinical and ultrasound examinations confirmed a diagnosis of aneurysm. The aneurysm was resected after dissection, exposure and isolation of the proximal and distal stumps of the dorsalis pedis artery. Simple ligature and resection of the aneurysm is proving to be a safe treatment option in patients with a patent plantar arch.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Vascular diseases have a direct influence on quality of life (QoL) and directly affect patients' biopsychosocial aspects. Quality of life is therefore an important element for evaluation of vascular interventions. OBJECTIVE: To assess QoL in inpatients with peripheral arterial disease at a vascular surgery service in a charitable tertiary hospital. METHODS: This is an exploratory study, with a cross-sectional design, conducted at a vascular surgery service in a charitable tertiary hospital, assessing patients with peripheral arterial disease using two questionnaires, one on quality of life (the WHOQOL-Bref short form) and the other on sociodemographic conditions. RESULTS: It was observed that the physical domain, environment domain and total QoL scores were the lowest for the whole sample of 127 interviewees. Additionally, an intragroup analysis showed that men scored higher in all domains when compared with women, with the exception of the social relationships domain. CONCLUSIONS: Women with peripheral arterial disease exhibited lower scores than men in all domains of the QoL questionnaire, except for social relationships.

RESUMO

As doenças vasculares influenciam a qualidade de vida (QV) e afetam de forma direta o aspecto biopsicossocial dos indivíduos. Sendo assim, a QV é uma importante forma de avaliação das intervenções vasculares. Objetivo: Avaliar a QV em pacientes com doença arterial periférica internados no serviço de cirurgia vascular em um hospital terciário beneficente. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, com desenho transversal, em um serviço de cirurgia vascular em um hospital terciário beneficente, no qual pacientes com doença arterial periférica foram avaliados através de dois questionários, sendo um a respeito de qualidade de vida (versão abreviada WHOQOL-Bref) e outro sobre as condições sociodemográficas. Resultados: Foi observado que os domínios físico, meio ambiente e QV total obtiveram os menores escores entre os 127 entrevistados. Além disso, uma análise intragrupo demonstrou que os homens obtiveram pontuação maior em todos os domínios quando comparados às mulheres, com exceção do domínio de relações sociais. Conclusão: As mulheres com doença arterial periférica apresentaram uma menor pontuação em todos os domínios do questionário de QV, exceto no de relações sociais, quando comparadas aos homens.
