- Pictures as mementos after perinatal death: a case study(2022) JESUS, Roberta Carolina de Almeida; BENUTE, Glaucia; BERTOLASSI, Nathalia; BARBOSA, Tercilia; BOLIBIO, Renata; FIGUEIREDO, Fernanda; SETUBAL, Maria Silvia; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta; GOMES, Ana; FERREIRA, Raquel; FRANCISCO, Rossana; BERNARDES, LisandraBackground: The grieving process following perinatal loss caused by life-limiting conditions presents some particularities associated with the family's culture and the symbolic relationship with the deceased. Objective: To reflect on the symbolic meaning attributed to mementos, particularly pictures taken immediately after birth. Method: Case study-a qualitative analysis of the data collected through semidirected interviews. Results: Of the three women that took part in the study, one woman chose not to take a picture but opted to take home the hat with her son's name on it that was provided as a regular procedure for every birth at the maternity centre. During the interview, she questioned her decision. The two other women took pictures and still look at them affectionate. One of the women keeps the picture of her child in a shrine at home, thus attributing a symbolic religious meaning to the whole experience that alleviates her pain. Conclusion: The symbolic meaning attributed to pictures of the deceased can help parents process grief.
- Prevalence of cognitive impairment in HIV patients: vertical and horizontal transmission(2022) GASCÓN, Maria Rita Polo; TERRA, Cauê Peter da Cruz; GUERRA, Hestela de Lima; GUALQUI, Carolina Fernandes; LUCIA, Mara Cristina Souza De; BENUTE, Glaucia Rosana Guerra; FONSECA, Luiz Augusto Marcondes; CASSEB, Jorge; VIDAL, Jose Ernesto; OLIVEIRA, Augusto César Penalva deABSTRACT. Antiretroviral treatment has significantly increased the survival of patients infected with HIV-1. However, with increased survival, cognitive changes associated with HIV are frequently observed in this population. The clinical manifestations of HIV changes can vary as a result of several aspects, including the virus transmission route. Several studies have pointed out premature neurological changes in vertically infected patients, while the manifestation of cognitive damage in adults may take a longer time. Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of cognitive changes in patients with HIV via vertical transmission after the highly active antiretroviral therapy and the cognitive performance of these patients compared to a group of sexually infected patients. Methods: A total of 48 patients were evaluated, 25 with vertical transmission and 23 with sexual transmission, between May 2013 and February 2015 at the Institute of infectology Emilio Ribas. Neuropsychological tests were applied to assess cognitive performance, scales to assess symptoms of anxiety and depression, and sociodemographic questionnaire. Results: The results demonstrate that the frequency of cognitive impairment in vertically transmitted patients was higher than in sexually transmitted patients. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the deleterious effects of the HIV virus on the development of the central nervous system reverberate more strongly than in patients who acquire it after adulthood.
- Postpartum depressive symptoms of Brazilian women during the COVID-19 pandemic measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(2022) GALLETTA, Marco Aurelio Knippel; OLIVEIRA, Ana Maria da Silva Sousa; ALBERTINI, Jessica Gorrao Lopes; BENUTE, Glaucia Guerra; PERES, Stela Verzinhasse; BRIZOT, Maria de Lourdes; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli VieiraBackground: The COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to concerns about its potential impact on the mental health of pregnant and postpartum women as the general postpartum depression rates increased. Methods: Three postpartum questionnaires (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale - EPDS; Anxiety and Depression Scale - HAD; and a demographic questionnaire about isolation and information acquisition) were used to evaluate the mental health of women with and without COVID-19 and determine the factors associated with depressive symptoms (EPDS >= 12). Results: Data from 184 participants with a mean of 56 postpartum days were analyzed. The rate of symptoms compatible with postpartum depression (PPD) was 38.8%, with a 14.3% positive response to item 10 on the EPDS (suicidal ideation - SI). Listening to the news about COVID-19 averaged 4.45 hours a day. Factors related to PPD were concerns about lack of hospital beds (OR = 2.45), absence of a partner (OR = 2.70), and anxiety symptoms (OR = 10). Factors related to SI were anxiety symptoms (OR = 1.56) and friends as a source of information (OR = 5.60). Limitations: Considering the rapidly changing epidemiological conditions of this pandemic, this study may only be the photograph of an instant. Conclusions: Higher rates of PPD in the Brazilian population are related not only to anxiety but also to an inadequate family environment, kind of information acquisition and concerns about the lack of hospital beds.
