Project Name:  Hospital-home transitional care for adults and the elderly
Institution: Universidade Federal da Bahia
Mentor: Larissa Chaves Pedreira

Hospital-home transitional care is an important support for caregivers, preparing them for the continuity of care. Faced with population aging, increased demand for continued care, and the general profile of home caregivers as middle-aged people, overworked and without adequate preparation for care actions, offering support to these people is essential to reduce their physical and psychological dificults, contributing to the success of home care. Objectives: 1. Explore the existing literature on hospital-home transitional care as a support for home caregivers of elderly people with functional dependence; 2. Implement transitional hospital-home care in a university hospital (HU). Objective 1 will be a scoping review to answer the central question: How does hospital-home transitional care support home caregivers of elderly people with functional dependence? A protocol will be developed “a priori”. For the search, databases with indexed descriptors will be used, in additi on to gray literature. Studies that meet the inclusion criteria will be imported into Covidence software. The review will be performed blindly by two reviewers and the results will be analyzed based on the Transitional Care Theory. Objective 2 will be an action research to be carried out at the University Hospital (HU). For this, the result of the scope review and a university extension that takes place at the HU, accompanying patients and family caregivers for the transition of care and monitoring their adaptation at home after discharge, will be presented and discussed with the team of interest. The action research will be developed in four phases, through workshops with the participants. Data will be analyzed using the WebQDA software. Ethical aspects will be respected.

Project Name:  Health situation, literacy, serophobia, stigma and self-care of men in the context of monkey pox transmission
Institution: Universidade Federal da Bahia
Mentor: Anderson Reis de Sousa

The objective of this project is to analyze the health situation, literacy, serophobia, stigma and self-care of men in the context of Monkey pox transmission. The methodology used is a mixed study, of the online survey type, with a concomitant triangulation strategy. Data will be collected by virtual means, using multiple techniques: application of a semi-structured form, individual and/or group interviews, netnographic and inconographic analysis. For the analysis of quantitative data, descriptive and inferential statistical analysis will be applied, and for qualitative analysis, the Collective Subject Discourse technique will be used. The data will be compared in order to determine convergences, differences and combinations. The theoretical frameworks for interpretation will be chosen a posteriori. Expected results: It is expected to map men's knowledge about monkey pox; raise the level of health literacy with a focus on monkey pox; to know care practices, coping strategies and the impacts of the onset of the disease on well-being and quality of life, as well as the vulnerabilities that are nearby. Based on these findings, it is intended to communicate the target population of the study, with a focus on education and safe communication in health; popularize knowledge about care practices, preventive measures, treatment and combating stigma about the transmission and involvement of monkey pox.
