Objective: To explore the knowledge and use of personal protective equipment by nursing professionals of Primary Health Care during the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: This is an exploratory study of a non-probabilistic sample developed in Basic Health Units in the city of Picos, Piauí, Brazil. Data were collected between June and August 2020, by phone call, following a semi-structured script, with responses recording and transcription. For material analysis, the software IRaMuTeQ was used for statistical textual analyses: Descending Hierarchical Classification, similarity analysis, and word cloud. Results: From the corpus of 6,873 words and 832 lexical units, three categories were created: (1) motivations and barriers for use (20.9%); (2) handling of personal protective equipment (classes 5 and 4) with 25% and 21.6%, respectively, and (3) measures to protect users and health professionals (classes 3 and 5) with 17.6% and 14.9%. Conclusion: The nursing professionals interviewed demonstrated that they did not have sufficient knowledge for the proper use of the equipment, which could compromise their integrity and that of the patient as a subject who receives unsafe care.

Objective to analyze the vaccination status of individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Primary Healthcare. Method cross-sectional, analytical study conducted in 25 Family Health teams with 274 individuals with diabetes. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were evaluated, as well as the full vaccination schedule for each vaccine recommended by the National Immunization Program, through bivariate analysis and logistic regression. Results among individuals with diabetes mellitus, the following incomplete vaccination rates were found: 69.1% for hepatitis B; 64.6% for diphtheria and tetanus; 74.3% for yellow fever; 87.9% for pneumococcus; 87.9% for varicella; 24.5% for influenza; and 0.7% for COVID-19. The reported reasons for low vaccination rates included not knowing the importance of vaccination and not being informed by healthcare providers. A statistically significant association was found between sociodemographic and clinical profile regarding the full vaccination schedule between the influenza vaccine and age and income; COVID-19 and age, type of diabetes and duration of diabetes. Conclusion individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes treated in Primary Healthcare showed low vaccination rates, which is concerning due to increased vulnerability to vaccine-preventable infections and mortality within this group.

Objective: To relate knowledge, practice and barriers of diabetic foot self-care among people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, according to gender and education.

Objetivo analizar la situación vacunal de personas con diabetes mellitus tipos 1 y 2 en la atención primaria de salud. Método estudio transversal, analítico, realizado en 25 equipos de Salud de la Familia con 274 personas con diabetes. Se evaluaron las variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y el esquema vacunal completo para cada vacuna recomendada por el Programa Nacional de Inmunizaciones mediante un análisis bivariado y regresión logística. Resultados de las personas con diabetes mellitus, el 69,1% no contaba con el esquema vacunal completo contra la hepatitis B; el 64,6% contra la difteria y el tétanos; el 74,3% contra la fiebre amarilla; el 87,9% contra el neumococo; el 87,9% contra la varicela; el 24,5% contra influenza y el 0,7% contra la COVID-19. Entre los motivos aludidos para el esquema vacunal incompleto, figuran no conocer la importancia de vacunarse y no haber sido informado por el profesional de la salud. Hubo asociación estáticamente significante entre el perfil sociodemográfico y clínico con relación al esquema vacunal completo entre la vacuna contra la influenza y la edad y los ingresos; COVID-19 y edad, tipo de diabetes y tiempo viviendo con diabetes. Conclusión las personas con diabetes mellitus tipos 1 y 2 presentaron baja completitud de las vacunas en el contexto de la Atención Primaria de Salud, lo que es preocupante debido a la situación de mayor vulnerabilidad a infecciones inmunoprevenibles y mortalidad en este grupo.
