Introduction: palliative care in the field of pediatric oncology aim to improve the life quality of the child with câncer, through the promotion of a humanized and integral care during the illness process and in the phase of terminality, as well as it propitiates support for the family. This dissertation is constituted by two articles, the first, the revision one is entitled: Palliative care and the child with ...
Introduction: Aging is a dynamic and progressive process that includes morphological, functional, social and psychological changes. In view of this, there is a greater number of frequent incidents in the third age, such as falls, often generating partial or total dependence on this elderly person, who needs specific care. Objective: to evaluate the risk of falls in hospitalized elderly patients. Methods: a desc...
It is a qualitative research, in which the Thematic Oral History was used to obtain the main sources. The present study had the following objectives: To know the life history of women, mothers of autistics, their experiences of care, highlighting the obstacles / difficulties, and possible transformations when participating in the wheels of Integrative Community Therapy; Describe the main obstacles experienced b...
Jean Watson’s Transpersonal Caring Theory is aligned with a proposal of transcendent care, capable of contemplating the individual integrally as body-mind-spirit. This philosophy of care transcends the periphery of a traditional care perspective and reaches the depth of consciousness of the subjects which take part in the moment of caring. The proposal of transcendent caring defended by the theorist awakened in...
Introduction: Sequelae resulting from stroke often leads to dependence on others, which most often falls to an informal caregiver. It is necessary to use specific scales to detect the presence of overload in these caregivers, in the sense of to prevent consequences on their physical and mental health. Objective: To perform BCC transcultural adaptation in informal caregivers of patients with stroke sequelae to B...
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of external sound stimulus, and is perceived in different ways. The presence of tinnitus may be associated with neuropsychiatric disorders and be influenced by personality traits. Resilience is one of the ways to seek improvement through the use of adaptive resources, and plays a key role in desensitizing the influence of tinnitus perception. Objective: To inve...
Brazilian deaf people use the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) to communicate and this is strictly visual, which leads to a formation of new neural possibilities facilitating neuroplastic processes. However, in addition, the interpreters / translators of Libras also make use of the language for professional use. Thus, this study aims to investigate whether deafness and / or frequent use of the Brazilian Sign La...
In this thesis we study the influence of the geometry on the electronic properties of double carbon nanocones. We also propose an invisibility cloak detecting strategy by exploring the gometry of the cloak built using the theory of transformation optics. For the study of double carbon nanocones, we use the continuous model based on a Dirac Hamiltonian for massless fermions where topological defects are describe...
In this work, we investigate the influence of central potentials on the scalar field in three different scenarios: the Minkowski spacetime, spacetime with a space-like dislocation and a spacetime with an anisotropy caused by the violation of the Lorentz symmetry. In the Minkowski spacetime, we analyse the scalar field subject to the Klein-Gordon oscillator plus the linear and Coulomb-type potentials. In the spa...
Snakebites represent a serious one health problem in the world, as well as economic losses in animal production systems. In Brazil, snakes of the genus Bothrops are responsible for most accidents. The specific treatment recommended in Brazil is the use of pentavalent antibotropic serum associated to the symptomatic auxiliary treatment, according to the severity of the accident. However this therapeutic treatmen...
