- Covid-19 misinformation in Portuguese-speaking countries: agreement with content and associated factorsPublication . Sousa, Álvaro Francisco Lopes de; Schneider, Guilherme; Carvalho, Herica Emilia Félix de; Oliveira, Layze Braz de; Lima, Shirley Verônica Melo Almeida; Sousa, Anderson Reis de; Araújo, Telma Maria Evangelista de; Camargo, Emerson Lucas Silva; Oriá, Mônica Oliveira Batista; Ramos, Carmen Viana; Oliveira, Rodrigo Mota de; Almeida, Camila Aparecida Pinheiro Landim; Ferreira, Andrêa Jacqueline Fortes; Teixeira, Jules Ramon Brito; Lua, Iracema; Souza, Fernanda de Oliveira; Araújo, Tânia Maria de; Fronteira, Inês; Mendes, Isabel Amélia CostaIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a complex phenomenon called the “infodemic” has emerged, compromising coping with the pandemic. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of agreement with misinformation about COVID-19 and to identify associated factors. A web survey was carried out in Portuguese-speaking countries in two stages: 1. the identification of misinformation circulating in the included countries; 2. a multicentric online survey with residents of the included countries. The outcome of the study was agreement or disagreement with misinformation about COVID-19. Multivariate analyzes were conducted using the Poisson regression model with robust variance, a logarithmic link function, and 95% confidence intervals. The prevalence of agreement with misinformation about COVID-19 was 63.9%. The following factors increased the prevalence of this outcome: having a religious affiliation (aPR: 1454, 95% CI: 1393–1517), having restrictions on leisure (aPR: 1230, 95% CI: 1127–1342), practicing social isolation (aPR: 1073, 95% CI: 1030–1118), not avoiding agglomeration (aPR: 1060, 95% CI: 1005–1117), not seeking/receiving news from scientific sources (aPR: 1153, 95% CI: 1068–1245), seeking/receiving news from three or more non-scientific sources (aPR: 1114, 95% CI: 1049–1182), and giving credibility to news carried by people from social networks (aPR: 1175, 95% CI: 1104–1251). There was a high prevalence of agreement with misinformation about COVID-19. The quality, similarity, uniformity, and acceptance of the contents indicate a concentration of themes that reflect “homemade”, simple, and easy methods to avoid infection by SARS-CoV-2, compromising decision-making and ability to cope with the disease.
- Meanings assigned by primary care professionals to male prenatal care: a qualitative studyPublication . Sousa, Bruna Sabrina Almeida; Almeida, Camila Aparecida Pinheiro Landim; Santos, Joseane Rodrigues dos; Lago, Eliana Campêlo; Oliveira, Jéssika Felix de; Cruz, Tatiana Areas da; Lima, Shirley Verônica Melo Almeida; Camargo, Emerson Lucas SilvaBackground: Considering recent strategies used in prenatal care, the involvement of fathers has been considered an important factor in ensuring that pregnancy and delivery are successful. Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the meanings assigned by primary health care professionals to male prenatal care. Methods: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. A total of 19 interviews were conducted with primary health care professionals registered in the City Health Department of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed according to the Collective Subject Discourse methodology. Results: Three themes emerged from the reports’ analysis: The importance of the role of fathers in the gestational process, attitudes of men toward male prenatal care and formal education and training in primary health care. Health practitioners understand the importance of male prenatal care but reported they lack proper training to provide effective care. Conclusion: The expansion of continuing education strategies focusing on male prenatal care and directed to primary health care professionals is recommended to promote greater adherence on the part of fathers in prenatal care, with the purpose of strengthening bonds and improving the care provided to the entire family. The humanized care can facilitate the approach of the paternal figure during male prenatal care.
