Objective: To analyze the evolution of child mortality. Methods: A descriptive ecological study was conducted. The database of deaths provided by the Mortality Information System between 2006 and 2010 was used. Only records in which the city of residence and occurrence of deaths corresponded to the city of Porto Velho and whose children were younger than 12 months at the time of death were included in this study. In addition, only deaths from preventable neonatal and post-neonatal causes were analyzed. Results: In the city of Porto Velho, during the period studied, there is a predominance of mothers aged between 20 and 34 years, whose percentages of child deaths varied between 26.0% in 2006 and 29.0% in 2010, with small variations in the remaining years. There was an increasing trend towards premature deaths, except in 2009, when the percentage was 45.0%. Between 2006 and 2007, this percentage remained at 50.0%, increasing to 53% in 2008 and subsequently to 54.0% of deaths among children younger than one year in 2010. Conclusion: The estimate of incidence of child mortality in the period studied remained higher than the value expected by 2015 in Brazil.
Objetivo: conhecer os significados que o homem atribui acerca do tabagismo e seus riscos relacionados ao desenvolvimento do câncer.Método: estudo qualitativo, realizado em um instituto especializado na atenção à saúde, no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Foram entrevistados 18 homens fumantes e ex-fumantes entre novembro de 2015 e abril de 2016. Utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática.Resultados: a falta de conhecimento acerca do tabagismo e a sensação de prazer proporcionada relacionaram-se à maior probabilidade de se iniciar o hábito. O significado atribuído pelos homens sobre a relação com o processo saúde-doença relacionou-se ao histórico familiar ou à vulnerabilidade própria. Mas muitos homens não se sentem preparados para parar de fumar, pela dependência física e psicoemocional.Conclusão: a cessação do vício pode requerer ajuda profissional. É preciso reconhecer o tabagismo como problema de saúde, desejar parar de fumar e identificar o próprio fator motivacional.
