Introduction: Human pappilomavirus is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, and persistent HPV infection is considered the most important cause of cervical cancer. It is detected in more than 98% of this type of cancer. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge concerning human papillomavirus among nursing college students of a private educational institution located in the City of Bauru, SP, and correlate their knowledge according to the course year. Methods: A descriptive study with a quantitative approach, performed with a questionnaire that permitted the quantification of data and opinions, thus guaranteeing the precision of the results without distortions in analysis or interpretation. The survey was applied to randomly selected 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th -year nursing college students. Twenty students from each level were selected during August 2009, totaling 80 students of both genders. Results: Observation revealed that 4
ObjectiveThe aim was to explore women’s perceptions of violence, its causes, manifestations, consequences and responses to prevent and confront domestic violence against women in Brazilian society.DesignWe conducted a qualitative study with individual, semistructured interviews. We used thematic analysis and discussed the data considering the ecological framework.SettingThe study was conducted in an antenatal and postnatal care service in the Brazilian National Health System. Data collection was conducted in October 2022.ParticipantsThe sample selection was intentional and sampling was conducted according to the data saturation criterion. Twelve women who attended an antenatal and postnatal care service were interviewed. The participants reported different experiences of domestic and family violence throughout their lives.ResultsBased on the analysis, four themes were identified: (1) between the public and the private spheres: violence against women and its manifestations, causes and particularities; (2) factors that increase vulnerability; (3) protection system and support network: strengths and weaknesses; and (4) alternatives for the prevention and elimination of violence.ConclusionsThe perceptions of Brazilian women during pregnancy and the postpartum period regarding domestic violence included a multifaceted view of violence. The women’s discourse demonstrated the difficulties that they faced in interrupting the cycle of violence and accessing support networks.
The aim of this study was to measure the pain intensity during labor with or without combined spinal-epidural analgesia utilizing psychophysical methods, whether they be category estimations (visual analogical scale-VAS) , or magnitude estimations, to verify the stability, to validate the psychophysical scale of pain perception, and to characterize the pain descriptors during labor pain. The psychophysical methods utilized were magnitude estimations and cross-modal matching. A total of four experiments were performed: Experiment 1-Pain threshold determination task; Experiment 2magnitude estimations and category estimations; Experiment 3-magnitude estimations and line lengths; and Experiment 4-psychophysical scale validation. The study was comprised of 68 parturients (42 received analgesia, and 26 without analgesia), admitted in the Obstetrics center of the Interior Hospital in the state of Sao Paulo, age ranging from 18 to 35, with a singleton fetus, physical state ASA I or II, and who were in labor.The diverse pain sensations were assessed every 60 minutes (after obstetric routine), until the the end of labor (parturients who did not receive analgesia) , or until the application of labor analgesia recommended by the medical team.The analgesia was applied by means of combined spinal-epideural analgesia. Fifteen minutes after installing the catheter, a new pain assessment was carried out when the observation period was concluded. Labor with or without analgesia was the responsibility of the medical team, not undergoing influence from the researcher, and the participant could accept or decline. The results were that each participant presented personal timing in determining their threshold. The physiological and psychological aspects evidenced that pain is a unique and individual experience.For the comparison of pain intensity during childbirth labor in the groups with analgesia and the groups without analgesia (after measurement), utilizing the Mann-Whitney statistical test, a significant difference between the pain intensities for both groups (p<0,001) was found. The psychophysical scale for pain intensity before analgesia was validated with the exponent 0,63, after analgesia the exponent was 0,95, and without analgesia 0,91. Kendall`s correlation coefficient (W) was applied to the magnitude estimations and the line-lengths before, after and without analgesia , W=0,46, W=0,90, and W=0,66 resepctively, indicating correlation between the data. The parturients` most attributed pain descriptors during labor were: unbearable, despairing, and terrible.
La investigación titulada Bioseguridad y medidas de protección de las enfermeras en el servicio de neonatología del Hospital Regional Docente Materno Infantil ElCarmen de Huancayo parte del siguiente problema: ¿En qué medida el nivel de conocimiento sobre bioseguridad se relaciona con el uso de medidas de protección de lasenfermeras en el Servicio de Neonatología del Hospital Docente Materno Infantil “El Carmen” de Huancayo?; el objetivo que persigue es: Determinar la relación entreel nivel de conocimiento sobre bioseguridad y el uso de medidas de protección de las enfermeras en el Servicio de Neonatología del Hospital Docente Materno Infantil“El Carmen” de Huancayo. El diseño de investigación es correlacional, nivel explicativo, tipo básico, el método utilizado fue el histórico y descriptivo. La muestra estáconformada por 40 enfermeras(os). Los resultados de la investigación social - empírica, nos han permitido elaborar conclusiones importantes; como que hay un alto conocimiento sobre medidas de bioseguridad por parte de las enfermeras del Servicio de Neonatología del Hospital Docente Materno Infantil “El Carmen”de Huancayo. Este nivel de conocimiento, sobremedidas de bioseguridad, se encuentra relacionada significativamentecon el empleo de medidas de protecciónlo que beneficia evitar el contagio tanto de las mismasenfermeras como de los pacientes neonatos.
