Trata-se de um estudo descritivo transversal exploratório.Métodos O grupo de entrevistados foi constituído por 76 idosos mentalmente capacitados, independentes fisicamente, ambos os sexos, com 60 anos ou mais. A coleta de dados aconteceu por meio da aplicação do questionário sobre autopercepção em saúde bucal, Oral Health Impact Profile -OHIP-14 e os dados secundários obtidos dos prontuários dos pacientes atendidos na referida unidade de referência.Resultados Na amostra, 69,74% eram do gênero feminino, 59% tinham 60 a 69 anos (média de 68,5 anos). As frequências das dimensões com maior impacto foram: dor (13,16%) e desconforto psicológico (14,47%); menor impacto, incapacidade social (71%) e desvantagem social (63%). As variáveis gênero, tipo de moradia, necessidade e uso de próteses não tiveram associação com as medidas de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal. Foi observada uma boa correlação entre autopercepção e os escores do OHIP-14 (r=0.542, p<0.001) e uma associação moderada (r=0.28, p<0,01) entre maior renda e os escores do OHIP-14. ConclusãoConcluiu-se que autopercepção em saúde bucal e renda dos idosos expressaram impacto percebido de sua saúde bucal sobre a qualidade de vida.Termos de indexação: Saúde bucal. Saúde do idoso.

Objective: To investigate how women experienced perineal trauma during a humanized birth. Methods: A qualitative study with 22 postpartum women was performed from January to December 2018. The Husserlian phenomenology was used as theoretical framework using individual, in-depth interviews that were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. Results: Twenty-four categories emerged from women´s reports. During the prenatal phase, we found lack of information regarding perineal trauma, the alterity as a facilitating process to incentive women towards vaginal delivery and the perception of the beginning of an existential transition. During labor, it was noticed trust and attachment with the health professional giving physical and emotional support, the fear of the unknown linking to insecurity, the need for internal surrender to the process, empowerment as a result of trust and commitment, to give herself to the moment and no concerns with intrapartum injury but at the same time, having the possibility to share a decision-making process of suturing(or not). The postpartum period has shown the completion of the existential transition, the body as a place of estrangement, the loosening of some ties, but the construction of new networks of personal support to overcome postpartum. Conclusions: Most of women after humanized birth perceived perineal trauma as an existential transition that was initiated during antenatal period.
