Título: PREVALÊNCIA DE SINAIS E SINTOMAS DO CLIMATÉRIO EM MULHERES ATENDIDAS NA ESTRATÉGIA SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA Autor: SANTOS, Kassia Rejane dos Primeiro orientador: RABELO, Poliana Pereira Costa Abstract: The climacteric, the transition period from the reproductive to the non-reproductive phase, represents a growing public health challenge due to population aging. This study aimed to estimate climacteric signs and symptoms in women attending Primary Health Care, correlating them with sociodemographic, gynecological, obstetric, and psychological aspects. A crosssectional study was conducted with 182 users aged 40 to 64 years from the Family Health Strategy, using the Mini-Mental State Examination, a structured sociodemographic questionnaire, and the Greene Climacteric Scale for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (p<0.05) was employed to process the information, including Shapiro-Wilk and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results showed climacteric symptomatology in 100% of the studied sample, with a predominance of symptoms of mild (57.1%) to moderate (32.4%) intensity. There was a statistically significant association between climacteric symptoms and a previous diagnosis of depression and anxiety. Regarding asthma or bronchitis, a condition absent in most of the sample, it was found that most participants presented mild symptoms. Among gynecological history, only the number of pregnancies showed a significant association with the intensity of symptoms. Negative self-perception of health was related to a higher frequency of moderate and intense symptoms. Identifying the intensity of climacteric symptoms in Primary Health Care is important because it allows for the early recognition of more vulnerable women and the targeting of individualized interventions. This knowledge supports the planning of educational, preventive, and continuous monitoring actions, strengthening comprehensive women's health care. Furthermore, it contributes to improving the performance of the multidisciplinary team, especially nursing, in promoting quality of life during menopause.; El climaterio, el período de transición de la fase reproductiva a la no reproductiva, representa un creciente desafío de salud pública debido al envejecimiento de la población. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo estimar los signos y síntomas del climaterio en mujeres que acuden a Atención Primaria de Salud, correlacionándolos con aspectos sociodemográficos, ginecológicos, obstétricos y psicológicos. Se realizó un estudio transversal con 182 usuarias de entre 40 y 64 años de edad de la Estrategia de Salud Familiar, utilizando el Mini-Examen del Estado Mental, un cuestionario sociodemográfico estructurado y la Escala Climatérica de Greene para la recolección de datos. Se empleó un análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial (p<0,05) para procesar la información, incluyendo las pruebas de Shapiro-Wilk y KruskalWallis. Los resultados mostraron sintomatología climatérica en el 100% de la muestra estudiada, con un predominio de síntomas de intensidad leve (57,1%) a moderada (32,4%). Hubo una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre los síntomas del climaterio y un diagnóstico previo de depresión y ansiedad. En cuanto al asma o la bronquitis, afecciones ausentes en la mayoría de la muestra, se observó que la mayoría de las participantes presentaban síntomas leves. Entre los antecedentes ginecológicos, solo el número de embarazos mostró una asociación significativa con la intensidad de los síntomas. La autopercepción negativa de la salud se relacionó con una mayor frecuencia de síntomas moderados e intensos. Identificar la intensidad de los síntomas climatéricos en la Atención Primaria de Salud es importante porque permite la detección temprana de mujeres más vulnerables y la aplicación de intervenciones individualizadas. Este conocimiento respalda la planificación de acciones educativas, preventivas y de seguimiento continuo, fortaleciendo la atención integral de la salud de la mujer. Además, contribuye a mejorar el desempeño del equipo multidisciplinario, especialmente el de enfermería, en la promoción de la calidad de vida durante la menopausia.

Título: DESENVOLVIMENTO DE APLICATIVO MÓVEL PARA ACOMPANHAMENTO DE COMPLICAÇÕES EM PACIENTES HIPERTENSOS E DIABÉTICOS ACOMETIDOS POR COVID-19 NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE Autor: LOPES, Ana Beatriz Alves Primeiro orientador: ANDRADE, Yara Naya Lopes de Abstract: Introduction: Systemic Arterial Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus constitute noncommunicable chronic diseases with high prevalence and significant impact on morbidity and mortality, especially when associated with COVID-19 infection, whose interaction potentiates the risk of cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic complications. Within the Primary Health Care context, the pandemic imposed important challenges to the longitudinal follow-up of these patients, highlighting difficulties in care continuity and systematization of post-infection clinical monitoring. From this scenario, the delimitation of the research object was supported by the application of the GUT Matrix (Gravity, Urgency, and Tendency), a tool that enabled systematic analysis of problems faced within Primary Health Care. Therefore, the study sought to answer "What functionalities, content, and technical characteristics should comprise a mobile application aimed at monitoring complications in hypertensive and diabetic patients affected by COVID-19 within Primary Health Care?" Objective(s): To develop a mobile application for monitoring complications in hypertensive and diabetic patients who were affected by COVID-19. Methodological Procedures: This is a technological production study with a quantitative approach, supported by software engineering and grounded in the systems development life cycle. To achieve the proposed objectives, this research stage followed the following phases: Stage 1 – Scoping Review, entitled “Mapping mobile applications for monitoring chronic conditions in patients previously affected by COVID-19 in primary health care: a scoping review”, which was submitted and registered on the OSF platform using the OSF pre-registration model, under the identifier DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/29C5Q; Stage 2 – Requirements Gathering for mobile technology structuring; Stage 3 – Development of the Technological Production Life Cycle. Results: The synthesis of the ten studies included in the Scoping Review revealed that mobile technologies designed to monitor people with hypertension and diabetes mellitus predominantly present fragmented functional organization, a focus on punctual records of clinical parameters and self-management strategies, limitations in the incorporation of longitudinal care, and low integration between clinical, laboratory, and follow-up data. Based on these findings, the clinical, functional, and operational requirements considered essential for the construction of the technology were systematized, encompassing blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring, structured recording of post-COVID-19 signs and symptoms, evolutionary monitoring of tests and medications, as well as resources for risk stratification, longitudinal visualization, and organization of clinical follow-up. Thus, the Cronicov mobile application was developed, structured according to an architectural model guided by agile methodology in the context of Primary Health Care. Conclusions: The mobile application development transformed a concrete Primary Health Care need into a technological solution for monitoring people with hypertension and diabetes affected by COVID-19. Despite challenges in organizing information and care flows, it was possible to build a structured tool with potential for use in team routines. The study objective was achieved, recognizing, however, the need for validation, usability evaluation, and impact measurement. Thus, the work contributes both as a technological product and by presenting a methodological pathway applicable to the integration of research, technology, and health practice within the Unified Health System.

Título: Distribuição espacial da cobertura vacinal contra o HPV no Maranhão Autor: GONÇALVES, Heloisa Maria Lima Primeiro orientador: CALDAS, Arlene de Jesus Mendes Abstract: Vaccination coverage (CV) is an important indicator of population health and the quality of care provided by basic health services. It is estimated that one in ten people are infected with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and, it is a virus known to cause cervical cancer, in addition to being related to several other types of cancer. The objective is to describe the spatial distribution of vaccination coverage against HPV in Maranhão. This is an ecological, descriptive study on vaccination coverage against HPV in the State of Maranhão between 2017 and 2018, with the municipalities as the unit of analysis, the target audience was female (9 to 14 years old) and the male (11 to 14 years old), who received the doses of the HPV vaccine during the study period, registered in the Information System of the National Immunization Program (SI-PNI) and in the database of the state department of Immunization, of the State Health Secretariat. A descriptive analysis of vaccination coverage was carried out by municipalities in Maranhão, using maps according to sex, age, followed by the study of the spatial pattern. It was observed that in the year 2017, 736,430 individuals were able to receive the HPV vaccine in the state of Maranhão; of these, only 30.99% females and 39.42% males received the vaccine; in 2018, 736,436 individuals were able to receive the HPV vaccine, with only 21.99% females and 31.79% males receiving the vaccine. The findings presented suggest low coverage and heterogeneity in the doses of the HPV vaccine in the state of Maranhão. It is concluded that vaccination coverage against HPV in the municipalities in Maranhão is low in relation to the goal advocated by the Ministry of Health and that there are significant differences in coverage by sex, age and municipalities, therefore requiring greater direction in the vaccination strategy.

In this context, this study aimed to develop and validate the content and appearance of a software prototype to support nurses in conducting nursing consultations for people with Diabetes Mellitus in Primary Health Care. This is a methodological study, grounded in the software engineering approach proposed by Pressman and Maxim, structured into three phases according to the Unified Process Model. The first phase, Conception, involved planning and defining goals, the central theme, technological resources, and the project team. The second phase, Elaboration, included a literature review and the results of an analysis of interviews conducted in a previous study with professionals working in the Family Health Strategy, ensuring alignment with the principles of User-Centered Design. The scientific evidence gathered, combined with the identified practical demands, supported the definition of the content incorporated into the technology, enabling the development of the software prototype. The third phase, Construction, consisted of content and appearance validation, as well as the development of the final version of the prototype. Specialists were selected according to Jasper’s criteria. Validation was carried out using the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) instrument, with screen organization divided into three blocks. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee under approval number 7,934,746. The prototype was developed between December 2024 and October 2025 and was named Diabetes.check: Guide for Nursing Consultation. Initially, the prototype comprised a structure of 77 screens, distributed among user identification and access, main interface, functionalities, and the development and management of the care plan. The main screens contained 14 structured topics, organized to facilitate the systematic conduct of the nursing consultation, including tabs dedicated to clinical history, history of present illness, lifestyle habits, physical examination, foot examination, nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes. For content and appearance validation, nine specialists participated, all nurses, predominantly holding master’s and doctoral degrees. The SAM instrument scores indicated percentages of 90.7% in Block 1, 94.2% in Block 2, and 94.4% in Block 3, classifying the material as of superior quality. The Content Validity Indices were 0.80, 0.90, and 0.92 for Blocks 1, 2, and 3, respectively, demonstrating excellent agreement among the specialists. The suggestions provided were incorporated, resulting in a final version composed of 80 screens. The content and appearance validation process showed a high level of agreement among the specialists, proving to be essential for improving the prototype. Diabetes.check is configured as an innovative technology with the potential to contribute to the systematization of nursing consultations for people with Diabetes Mellitus, support clinical reasoning, and promote safe, efficient, and evidence-based nursing practice in Primary Health Care.
