          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of testing and COVID-19 among nurses during the pandemic in the State of Ceará. Method: A cross-sectional study with 379 nurses, through a network sampling technique, using a sociodemographic, labor, and clinical questionnaire. The study performed a descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of testing and COVID-19 were, respectively, 63.3% and 25.0%. The most common symptoms were anosmia, ageusia, and myalgia. There was inadequate use of personal protective equipment due to material shortage. The odds ratio for COVID-19 was higher in those with children, people with diabetes, from the capital, with more than two jobs, in hospital and emergency room, and from the frontline. In the multivariate logistic regression, nurses with children (p=0.011), diabetics (p=0.018) and frontline (p<0.001) had more chances for COVID-19. Conclusion: Expanded testing, ongoing in-service education, and adequate personal protective equipment are needed to improve nurses’ work.

          RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de testagem e COVID-19 entre enfermeiros, durante a pandemia no estado do Ceará. Método: Estudo transversal com 379 enfermeiros, com técnica de amostragem em rede, utilizando-se questionário sociodemográfico, laboral e clínico. Realizou-se estatística descritiva, análise de regressão logística univariada e multivariada. Resultados: A prevalência de testagem e COVID-19 foram, respectivamente, 63,3% e 25,0%. Sintomas mais comuns foram anosmia, ageusia e mialgia. Referiu-se uso inadequado de equipamentos de proteção individual por escassez de material. A razão de chances para COVID-19 foi maior naqueles com filhos, diabéticos, da capital, com mais de dois empregos, em hospital e pronto atendimento e da linha de frente. Na regressão logística multivariada, tiveram mais chances para COVID-19, os enfermeiros com filhos (p=0,011), diabéticos (p=0,018) e da linha de frente (p<0,001). Conclusões: Ampliação da testagem, educação permanente em serviço e equipamentos de proteção individual adequados são necessários para melhorar o trabalho dos enfermeiros.

Método: Estudio transversal con 379 enfermeros, con técnica de muestreo por redes, utilizándose encuesta sociodemográfica, laboral y clínica. Realizada estadística descriptiva, análisis de regresión logística simple y múltiple. Resultados: La prevalencia de testeo y COVID-19 fueron, respectivamente, 63,3% y 25,0%. Síntomas más comunes fueron anosmia, ageusia y mialgia. Referido uso inadecuado de equipos de protección individual por escasez de material. La razón de probabilidades para COVID-19 fue mayor en aquellos con hijos, diabéticos, de la capital, con más de dos empleos, en hospital y servicios médicos de urgencia y de primera línea. La regresión logística múltiple, tuvieron más probabilidades para COVID-19, enfermeros con hijos (p=0,011), diabéticos (p=0,018) y de primera línea (p<0,001). Conclusiones: Ampliación de testeo, educación permanente en servicio y equipos de protección individual adecuados son necesarios para optimización laboral de enfermeros.

          Factors Associated With Mental Health Outcomes Among Health Care Workers Exposed to Coronavirus Disease 2019

          Key Points Question What factors are associated with mental health outcomes among health care workers in China who are treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 1257 health care workers in 34 hospitals equipped with fever clinics or wards for patients with COVID-19 in multiple regions of China, a considerable proportion of health care workers reported experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress, especially women, nurses, those in Wuhan, and front-line health care workers directly engaged in diagnosing, treating, or providing nursing care to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Meaning These findings suggest that, among Chinese health care workers exposed to COVID-19, women, nurses, those in Wuhan, and front-line health care workers have a high risk of developing unfavorable mental health outcomes and may need psychological support or interventions.

            The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement: guidelines for reporting observational studies.

            Much biomedical research is observational. The reporting of such research is often inadequate, which hampers the assessment of its strengths and weaknesses and of a study's generalisability. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Initiative developed recommendations on what should be included in an accurate and complete report of an observational study. We defined the scope of the recommendations to cover three main study designs: cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies. We convened a 2-day workshop in September 2004, with methodologists, researchers, and journal editors to draft a checklist of items. This list was subsequently revised during several meetings of the coordinating group and in e-mail discussions with the larger group of STROBE contributors, taking into account empirical evidence and methodological considerations. The workshop and the subsequent iterative process of consultation and revision resulted in a checklist of 22 items (the STROBE Statement) that relate to the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of articles. 18 items are common to all three study designs and four are specific for cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional studies. A detailed Explanation and Elaboration document is published separately and is freely available on the Web sites of PLoS Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine, and Epidemiology. We hope that the STROBE Statement will contribute to improving the quality of reporting of observational studies.

              COVID-19 in people with diabetes: understanding the reasons for worse outcomes

              Summary Since the initial COVID-19 outbreak in China, much attention has focused on people with diabetes because of poor prognosis in those with the infection. Initial reports were mainly on people with type 2 diabetes, although recent surveys have shown that individuals with type 1 diabetes are also at risk of severe COVID-19. The reason for worse prognosis in people with diabetes is likely to be multifactorial, thus reflecting the syndromic nature of diabetes. Age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidities such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease, obesity, and a pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulative state all probably contribute to the risk of worse outcomes. Glucose-lowering agents and anti-viral treatments can modulate the risk, but limitations to their use and potential interactions with COVID-19 treatments should be carefully assessed. Finally, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection itself might represent a worsening factor for people with diabetes, as it can precipitate acute metabolic complications through direct negative effects on β-cell function. These effects on β-cell function might also cause diabetic ketoacidosis in individuals with diabetes, hyperglycaemia at hospital admission in individuals with unknown history of diabetes, and potentially new-onset diabetes.
