O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar como está a saúde mental das pessoas acometidas por ferida crônica. Pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa, realizada no período de agosto de 2008 a março de 2009, a qual utilizou a entrevista como técnica para a coleta de dados. Participaram seis portadores de feridas crônicas em acompanhamento pelo Ambulatório de Especialidades de um Hospital Público. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstram que há perda da autoestima, dor, déficit na qualidade do sono, inaptidão para o trabalho, vergonha e constrangimento para se relacionar socialmente, levando à propensão de problemas de ordem emocional. Concluímos que o portador de feridas crônicas apresenta propensão a desenvolver problemas que colocam em risco sua saúde mental.
IntroductionBreast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to analyze time trends in overall mortality from breast cancer in Brazil, Brazilian regions and States.MethodsThis is an exploratory study, of the time series of deaths from breast cancer contained in the Mortality Information System (SIM), of women living in Brazil, Brazilian regions and States, from 1996 to 2013. For the trend analysis, the polynomial regression model was used, and a significant trend was considered when the estimated model obtained a p value <0.05.ResultsThere was a tendency of increased mortality from breast cancer in Brazilian women (average increase of 0.18 per year; p <0.001), with regional differences, particularly in the age group 20–49 years (0.07 per year; p <0.001). The age group 50–69 years remained constant but had high average rates (37.14).ConclusionMore effective planning is needed to focus on the different scenarios of the Brazilian regions. Screening strategies for the incidence and mortality from breast cancer must also be rethought according to age group in the country.
IntroductionBreast cancer remains an important public health problem that is responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in developing countries.ObjectiveTo analyze the socioeconomic and access disparities related to breast cancer mortality in 399 cities in the state of Parana, Brazil.MethodsEcological, descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study based on secondary data from the Mortality Information System from 2009 to 2012 in the state of Parana. Breast cancer mortality rate was calculated considering the mortality cases and women population of each municipality, both based on women older than 20 years old. Moran global and local analyses were used to verify the presence of spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression modeling (Spatial Lag—SAR) with the purpose of analyzing the association between socioeconomic indicators, access and mortality rates for breast cancer.ResultsSignificant positive spatial autocorrelation was found for breast cancer mortality rates (I = 0.5432, p = 0.001). In the spatial regression analysis, the model explained 61% of the variance of the mortality rates for breast cancer. The mortality rate for breast cancer was negatively associated with the illiteracy rate (Coefficient = -0.0279) and positively associated with the access index (Coefficient = 12.9525).ConclusionThe lower illiteracy rate has not been sufficient to reduce the specific mortality rate by breast cancer, and the higher the score of accessibility to cancer services, the higher the specific mortality due to breast cancer. The results show that in the state of Parana, the problem is not related to a lack of education of the patients or the distance walked, but rather with the organization of services. These conclusions have important political implications on the organization and quality of the services provided for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in the state of Parana.
O objetivo geral deste estudo foi revelar, na ótica familiar, a participação do portador de transtorno mental na vida em família. Pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, realizada no período de março a maio de 2010. Os 14 colaboradores pertencem a onze famílias de portadores de transtornos mentais residentes no município de Maringá-Pr. Foi utilizada a história oral temática como técnica de coleta dos dados. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo temática. Os resultados demonstram que, em relação à participação e decisões em família, ainda há dificuldades neste aspecto. Quanto à participação nas tarefas cotidianas, a maioria contribui quando não está em crise, porém com suas limitações; os relacionamentos familiares são permeados de sentimentos de dor e sofrimento atrelado a pena e dó. Conclui-se que a enfermagem tem o importante papel de orientar e apoiar a família em suas necessidades.
The aim of this study was to understand how family members of people with mental disorders conceive the performance of self-help groups (SG). This qualitative study was conducted with eleven family members who participate in a SG of the Maringaense Mental Health Association. Data were collected from April to June 2010 during group meetings, in an adjoining room, by means of semi-structured interviews, which were then subjected to content analysis. Two categories emerged: "The group compensates for deficiencies in care", which points out deficiencies arising from the formal care services and the benefits of SG for family members and, "Idealized care", which reveals the expectations of the family in relation to mental health care. It was concluded that family members would like activities of the SG to be incorporated by mental health care services and for family care to become a part of the care plan.
