Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência das notificações de suicídio no Brasil antes e após o lançamento da Campanha Setembro Amarelo (CSA) pelo Ministério da Saúde. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados secundários contidos no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) disponibilizados pelo DATASUS. Resultados: O número de casos notificados por intoxicação exógena somou um total de 452.579 pessoas no Brasil, destas, 15% (67.966) correspondiam à categoria “tentativa de suicídio” e 10% (45.901) a causas indeterminadas. Quanto à classificação de transtornos mentais e de comportamento da CID-10, entre 2013 e 2016, os óbitos notificados por “transtorno depressivo recorrente” (F33) vitimaram um total de 236 pessoas, das quais 57% (134) eram mulheres. Conclusão: Mais da metade das mortes violentas no mundo tem como causa o suicídio, tornando-o um problema da saúde pública. No ano de 2015 foi iniciada a Campanha Setembro Amarelo (CSA), que atua na prevenção ao suicídio. As taxas de incidência apresentaram dados ascendentes após a implantação da CSA, permitindo o questionamento a respeito da efetividade do programa. Faz–se necessário acompanhar a campanha por um maior intervalo de tempo, a fim de compreender seus impactos futuros.
Objective: To analyze the social and conceptual skills of people with Intellectual Disability. Method: A descriptive study conducted with 100 caregivers, 9 teachers and 100 people with Intellectual Disability from a Philanthropic Institution in Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. The participants ages in the study ranged from 9 to 83 years. Three-hundred (300) questionnaires were administered. The data were processed by Factorial Matching Analysis in the Tri-Deux-Mots program. Results: Considering the factorial correspondence plan, it should be noted that the social skills of students in the age group between 21 and 40 years were related to playing educational games, playing ball with friends and dating. Regarding conceptual skills, students revealed autonomy in relation to school activities, however the caregivers emphasized that they lack autonomy in relation to these skills. In perceiving the realities of students from different classes, teachers presented opposing opinions on dependency and independence issues. Conclusion: Education and health professionals and caregivers can collaborate more effectively in developing the autonomy of people with Intellectual Disability by promoting a more interactive environment which provides skills development and interpersonal relationships without discrimination, disrespect or prejudice.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of altered touch perception in the feet of individuals with diabetes mellitus and the associated risk factors. Method: Cross-sectional study with 224 individuals with diabetes mellitus conducted in an endocrinology clinic at a public hospital in Campina Grande, Paraíba. The evaluation used touch sensitivity and perception, and a descriptive and multivariate analysis with Poisson regression was performed. Results: We found the prevalence of altered touch perception to be 53.1%. The risk factors that had a significant and joint impact on its occurrence were: female gender; previous ulcer; diabetes mellitus type 2; burning sensation, cracks, fissures, calluses, and Charcot foot. Conclusions: This study found a high prevalence of altered perception of touch, and this should support the planning of actions aimed at preventing the problem. The study showed the relevance of the phenomenon as a nursing diagnosis that could be included in NANDA-International.
