ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify the strategies found in the literature for increasing vaccination coverage among children in Brazil. It is justified mainly by the current scenario of falling vaccination coverage. Methods: systematic literature review. The search was carried out in the Pubmed (MEDLINE), Embase and Scopus databases, following the PRISMA guidelines. Results: initially, 4,824 results were returned. In the end, 6 studies were included for narrative synthesis using the SWiM methodology. Of these, 50% dealt with studies related to the Bolsa Família Program (PBF). The others explored strategies for approaching parents directly, Rapid Vaccination Monitoring (MRV) and the Community Health Agents Program (PACS). The PBF did not guarantee compliance with the conditionality of keeping vaccinations up to date. The MRV and PACS are effective strategies, especially because they allow active search for absentees. Conclusions: we conclude that more publications are needed on strategies to increase vaccination coverage among children in Brazil.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to map the available evidence on resources used to promote health literacy among caregivers of prematurely born children during outpatient follow-up. Methods: the Joanna Briggs Institute’s scope review protocol was utilized. The search encompassed six databases, incorporating studies from 2012 to 2022. Results: the three included publications revealed that the resources employed are: mobile applications, phone calls, individual counseling, videos, educational pamphlets, and group discussions. Implementing an education protocol during the transition home enhances scientifically grounded health promotion rates. Conclusions: there is limited literature addressing the health literacy of these caregivers. The nursing team plays a crucial role in health education and in developing resources applicable to these families.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze factors associated with Apgar of 5 minutes less than 7 of newborns of women selected for care at the Center for Normal Birth (ANC). Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study with data from 9,135 newborns collected between July 2001 and December 2012. The analysis used absolute and relative frequency frequencies and bivariate analysis using Pearson’s chi-square test or the exact Fisher. Results: fifty-three newborns (0.6%) had Apgar less than 7 in the 5th minute. The multivariate analysis found a positive association between low Apgar and gestational age less than 37 weeks, gestational pathologies and intercurrences in labor. The presence of the companion was a protective factor. Conclusion: the Normal Birth Center is a viable option for newborns of low risk women as long as the protocol for screening low-risk women is followed.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the experiences of families in the exercise of the rights of children with chronic conditions in public health, education and social assistance institutions. Method: ethnographic multiple case study, with qualitative approach, following the theoretical approach of Boaventura Santos. Experiences of the families of these children in a city were studied through interviews with family members, managers and professionals from social institutions (35), participant observations in social spaces (13) and creation of eco-maps (3). Critical Discourse Analysis was performed. Results: the offer of services is lower than the demand, and exclusion processes persist. Given the hegemony of neoliberal and normality ideologies, meetings between family members and professionals revealed obstacles to civil rights; however, when these ideologies were challenged, the realization of their rights was enhanced. Final considerations: the care to promote civil rights requires family members, managers and professionals to develop subjectivities that overcome neoliberal and normality ideologies, recognizing these children as subjects of law.

RESUMOObjetivo:analisar programas de promoção da saúde no setor suplementar.Método:estudo de caso múltiplo de abordagem qualitativa, cujos dados foram obtidos em entrevistas com coordenadores de prestadoras contratadas pelas operadoras de planos de saúde de Belo Horizonte, submetidos à Análise Crítica do Discurso.Resultados:a atenção domiciliar foi apresentada como a principal ação no campo da promoção da saúde transferida para as prestadoras, seguida de gerenciamento de doentes e de casos e dos grupos de educação em saúde. Em todos os programas é questionável a existência dos princípios da promoção da saúde. A terceirização é marcada por um processo micro-regulatório restritivo, com cisão entre a gestão dos custos e a gestão do cuidado. Há implicações desse processo na captação e intervenção sobre as necessidades dos benefi ciários.Conclusão:os discursos foram reveladores da racionalização de custos, reestruturação do trabalho e reprodução da lógica de acumulação do capital dominante na saúde suplementar.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze palliative care production developed by health professionals to home care patients. Methods: this is an exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, using the transpersonal care theoretical framework. Thirteen interviews were conducted with health professionals and 18 observations were conducted on different cases. Content analysis was performed using MAXQDA©. Results: actions performed: maintenance and follow-up measures to people eligible for palliative care, in acts of dialogue and "listening" to caregivers and users, conducting guidelines for the care and self-care process, performing technical procedures, delivery of materials, referrals and medical prescriptions to users. Final Considerations: it is perceived the need for advances in the implementation of government policies in Brazil that insert palliative care into the Health Care Network through educational, managerial and care actions that ensure human dignity, thus allowing the development of these and other palliative care interventions.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess layout quality, visual identity and content of the “Neonatal Pain Assessment Program” (Programa de Avaliação da Dor Neonatal) online course. Methods: a descriptive exploratory study. The course was assessed by 24 experts in pain, neonatology and education. A form containing 20 questions on technical, interface and educational aspects was used. For each item, the score ranged from 0 to 1. Mean scores above 0.7 were considered indicative of high quality of the items. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results: navigation, clarity, ease of localization, content relevance, contextualization, content correction, multiple windows, ease of use, ease of return, ergonomics, esthetics, special brands, audiovisual resources, information and portability were assessed. All aspects obtained a mean ≥ 0.70 and no changes were required. Conclusions: the Neonatal Pain Assessment Program is considered as quality educational technology and promising strategy for health education.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze principles of respectful maternity care in narratives of postpartum women with sickle cell disease, relating them to Sustainable Development Goals. Methods: netnographic study, with two videos published in 2020. Deductive iconographic and thematic analysis by Respectful Maternity Care Charter, organized in MAXQDA. Results: principles identified were the right to: freedom from harm and ill-treatment; information, informed consent, refusal of medical procedures, and respect for their choices and preferences including companion; be considered a person from birth, with dignified and respectful treatment; health at the highest possible level; newborns being with their parents or guardians. The Sustainable Development Goals for women by 2030 were not positively contemplated in postpartum women’s experience. Final Considerations: it is appropriate that health workers qualify themselves to provide respectful maternity care, with qualified listening, understanding, and resolution of unique demands of postpartum women with sickle cell disease, seeking equality in care for women.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify predisposing and enabling factors as well as the health needs associated with the discontinuance of outpatient follow-up of newborns who were hospitalized at neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: cross-sectional study, using the behavioral model of health services use. The study was composed of 358 mothers and newborns referred to the outpatient follow-up after discharge. Characterization, perception of social support, postnatal depression, and attendance to appointments data were collected, analyzed by the R software (3.3.1). Results: outpatient follow-up was discontinued by 31.28% of children in the first year after discharge. In multiple regression analysis, the chance of discontinuance was higher for newborns who used mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.68; 95%CI 1.04-2.72) and depended on technology (OR = 3.54; 95%CI 1.32-9.5). Conclusions: predisposing factors were associated with the discontinuance of follow-up; enabling factors and health needs did not present a significant association. Children with more complex health conditions require additional support to participate in follow-up programs, thus ensuring the continuity of care.
