RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi refletir sobre os desafios e estratégias metodológicas e pragmáticas que permeiam a condução de pesquisas com crianças. As análises apresentadas foram embasadas na Teoria de Adaptação de Roy, na literatura científica e nas percepções advindas da prática investigativa dos pesquisadores. Os principais desafios relacionam-se à interpretação dos modos adaptativos das crianças, à coleta de dados, à complexidade em analisar múltiplos modos de expressão, considerações éticas, influência do ambiente e dos cuidadores e à relação da equipe interdisciplinar na equipe de pesquisa. As estratégias para tornar a pesquisa mais exitosa envolvem: instrumentos de coleta sensíveis, uso de observação sistemática e métodos complementares, formação da equipe de pesquisa, ambientes acolhedores e adaptados, cuidados éticos ampliados e análise contextualizada dos dados. As principais questões metodológicas e pragmáticas entre os estudos que envolvem crianças como participantes da pesquisa fornecem orientações valiosas para projetos futuros. Além disso, os diferentes cenários em que as crianças estão inseridas sugerem que os pesquisadores estejam atentos aos novos desafios que podem surgir no processo investigativo.
ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the experience of sexuality during the postpartum period. Method: This qualitative research was conducted using two distinct yet complementary data collection strategies—semi-structured interviews and a self-administered questionnaire with open-ended questions—, both developed from the same script. The study included 37 people who experienced the postpartum period between the second half of 2021 and the end of 2022 in the state of Santa Catarina. Thematic analysis of the data obtained was adopted. Results: It became evident that the people interviewed consider sexuality important; however, during the postpartum period they had difficulty engaging in it due to fatigue, lack of libido, pain during intercourse, and other factors related to the postpartum period. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the topic of sexuality is not regularly addressed during postpartum consultations, with only contraceptive methods and the postpartum period being discussed.
RESUMEN Objetivo: Comprender la experiencia de la sexualidad en el periodo posparto. Método: Estudio cualitativo, realizado mediante dos estrategias de recolección de datos distintas y complementarias — entrevistas semiestructuradas y un cuestionario autoadministrado con preguntas abiertas —, ambos elaborados a partir del mismo guion. Participaron 37 personas que vivieron el periodo posparto en el estado de Santa Catarina entre el segundo semestre de 2021 y finales de 2022. Se adoptó un análisis temático de los datos obtenidos. Resultados: Se evidenció que las personas entrevistadas consideran importante la sexualidad, pero durante el posparto experimentaron dificultades para mantener relaciones sexuales debido a fatiga, falta de libido y dolor durante el coito, entre otros factores relacionados con este periodo. Conclusión: Se concluye que el tema de la sexualidad no se aborda con regularidad en las consultas posparto, limitándose a tratar los métodos anticonceptivos y el posparto en sí.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to reflect on the methodological and pragmatic challenges and strategies involved in conducting research with children. The analyses presented were grounded in Roy’s Adaptation Theory, the scientific literature, and insights derived from the researchers’ investigative practice. The main challenges relate to interpreting children’s adaptive modes, data collection, the complexity of analyzing multiple modes of expression, ethical considerations, the influence of the environment and caregivers, and the role of the interdisciplinary team within the research team. Strategies to enhance the success of the research include: sensitive data collection instruments, the use of systematic observation and complementary methods, training of the research team, welcoming and adapted environments, enhanced ethical considerations, and contextualized data analysis. The main methodological and pragmatic issues across studies involving children as research participants provide valuable guidance for future projects. Furthermore, the diverse settings in which children are embedded suggest that researchers should be mindful of new challenges that may arise during the research process.
ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the factors affecting the infusion of parenteral nutrition, and provide a reference for optimizing perioperative parenteral nutrition nursing training. Methods: Surgical nurses in 11 cities in Zhejiang Province were selected through convenience sampling from October 31 to December 31, 2024. Questionnaires were covering general information, the current status of training and implementation of parenteral nutrition infusion. Results: A total of 1,513 valid questionnaires were returned. Current training methods were mainly a combination of online and offline (68.73%), with training frequency mostly occurring once a month (26.77%). The nurses’ implementation of parenteral nutrition with lower scores in infusion devices, methods and rates. Work area (P < 0.05), presence or absence of the nutritional support therapy team (P = 0.003) and nutritional complication management plan (P < 0.001) were influencing factors. Conclusion: Managers should develop training programs based on the aforementioned influencing factors, strengthen talent cultivation, optimize the training system, refine practical operational standards, promote regional homogenization, and improve the standardization of nurses’ parenteral nutrition practice.
