Objective To investigate the association between the intensity of climacteric symptoms and sexual dysfunction in women aged 40 to 65 years. Methods Observational, analytic, cross-sectional study conducted with 63 women aged 40 to 65 treated at the gynecology outpatient clinic of a public hospital in northeastern Brazil. A questionnaire was used to collect identification data, clinical information, gynecological-obstetric data, lifestyle traits and information on chronic diseases. Climacteric symptoms and sexual function were evaluated by means of the Blatt-Kupperman index and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) respectively. The association between the two indices was investigated using the chi-squared test; the difference in mean scores on the FSFI as a function of menopausal status was evaluated by Student's t-test. The significance level was set to p < 0.05. Results The mean value of the Blatt-Kupperman index was 26.42 (standard deviation [SD]: 4.52); 36.51% of the women exhibited severe symptoms. The mean score on the FSFI was 21.84 (SD: 4.11). More than half of the analyzed women (58.73%) exhibited sexual dysfunction (FSFI 26.5). Regarding the association between the BlattKupperman index and the FSFI, the greater the intensity of the climacteric symptoms (Blatt-Kupperman), the higher the frequency of sexual dysfunction (FSFI). Sexual dysfunction was exhibited by 100% of the participants with severe climacteric symptoms, 70.59% of those with moderate symptoms, and only 9.09% with mild symptoms (p < 0.001). Conclusions The application of the Blatt-Kupperman index and of the FSFI allowed the detection of an association between the severity of climacteric symptoms and the prevalence of sexual dysfunction.
O presente artigo tem como objetivo avaliar os fatores epidemiológicos do trauma em idosos atendidos em serviços de emergência. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa através da busca de artigos indexados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, no qual após análise final foram incluídos 08 artigos. Para melhor elucidação foram formuladas duas categorias: Perfil dos idosos vítimas de trauma e Análise do evento traumático no idoso e suas implicações. Foi possível verificar que a epidemiologia do trauma no idoso atendido na emergência é multifatorial e a identificação desses componentes são consideradas ferramentas cruciais para a formulação de estratégias de prevenção.
This article aims to evaluate the epidemiological determinants of TBI in pediatric patients. An integrative review was performed by searching indexed articles in the Virtual Health Library, in which analysis after final analysis included 08 articles. For better elucidation, two categories were formulated: Epidemiological profile of children with TBI and Epidemiological determinants and the clinical implications of TBI in children. It was possible to verify that there is a male predominance, the fall is considered the main mechanism for the condition and TBI, in addition, age groups under 5 years have a worse prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
