Objective: Describing the profile of victims and assaults by gunshot, where the outcome was death. Method: An ecological study conducted in the city of Maceió/AL, in 2012. Data were collected from the death statements. The variables studied were: the death circumstances, gender, age, marital status, place, date, time, month and proportion according to the occurring neighborhood. Results: The homicide mortality rate was 65.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, with 130.6 per 100,000 men and 7.8 per 100,000 women. Of the total number of homicides, 93.6% of the victims were men. The age group between 15 and 29 years of age was the most affected, with 68.8%. In 97.6% of cases the death occurred at the site of aggression, 74.1% in the streets. In relation to the date, 54.2% of cases occurred between Friday and Sunday. 59.7% of the homicides were concentrated in seven neighborhoods. Conclusion: The map of violence presented shows heterogeneous areas for the occurrence of assaults with firearms, characterizing the existing urban inequality in violence distribution.
OBJECTIVE: to describe mortality from homicides in Itabuna, in the State of Bahia. METHOD: study with hybrid, ecological and time-trend design. The mortality coefficients per 1,000 inhabitants, adjusted by the direct technique, proportional mortality by sex and age range, and Potential Years of Life Lost were all calculated. RESULTS: since 2005, the external causes have moved from third to second most-common cause of death, with homicides being responsible for the increase. In the 13 years analyzed, homicides have risen 203%, with 94% of these deaths occurring among the male population. Within this group, the growth occurred mainly in the age range from 15 to 29 years of age. It was ascertained that 83% of the deaths were caused by firearms; 57.2% occurred in public thoroughfares; and 98.4% in the urban zone. In 2012, the 173 homicides resulted in 7,837 potential years of life lost, with each death causing, on average, the loss of 45.3 years. CONCLUSIONS: mortality by homicide in a medium-sized city in Bahia reaches levels observed in the big cities of Brazil in the 1980s, evidencing that the phenomenon of criminality - formerly predominant only in the big urban centers - is advancing into the rural area of Brazil, causing changes in the map of violent homicide in Brazil.
Violence, particularly homicide, is considered to be a social plague and is also a public health problem of great magnitude and transcendence that causes a great impact on the morbimortality of the population. Thus, it is essential to understand its occurrence in the context of the life of the population and the space that evolves it as well. This study displays a hybrid and ecological design and a temporal tendency and aimed to obtain the special standard of the murdering according to the place of residence of the victims in the municipality of Itabuna-BA, from the year of 2006 to the year of 2012, and it's related to the Adapted Indicator of Living Condition in 2010.The population consisted of all the homicides cases of residents of the municipality that occurred during the study period. Mortality data was obtained from the Mortality Information System of the Ministry of Health and the information that composed the Indicator of Living Condition collected from the Demographic Census conducted in 2010, so that the unit of analysis is the census tract itself. Epidemiological indicators, Years of Potential Life Lost, thematic maps and the Kernel density estimator were obtained. In order to elaborate the Adapted Indicator of Living Conditions, the factor analysis was used in the strata of living conditions defined by the clustering technique (hierarchical cluster analysis). The Chi-square test and the odds ratio were calculated according to the socioeconomic level to verify the association between the homicides and the low living conditions. The ArcGIS 10 and SPSS 18 software were used. The increasing homicide rates observed over the analyzed years were 214%, and 94% of the homicide cases affected the male population. Among the male population, the growth affected mainly the younger men, aged 15-29 years old. The firearm was the responsible instrument for the homicides in 83% of the deaths. Regarding the variables that composed the Adapted Indicator, the highest loadings were the literate population over 10 years old (0,920); proportion of children under 5 years old (0,801) and literate population aged 10-14 years old (0,720). The municipality was classified into four clusters: high, medium, low and very low living conditions. The comparison between the maps of living condition and residence of the victims of homicide showed the relationship established between the phenomenon and the neediest urban areas. When the clusters were compared, the crude Odd Ratio was equal to 12,62 (RC=12,62; IC 95%:[4,78; 33,32]) and equals 6,93 to the clusters of medium and low living conditions (RC=7,93; IC 95%: [2,76; 17,4]). The homicide mortality rates observed in Itabuna reaches the same rates observed in the big cities of the country in the 1980s, which shows that the violent criminality phenomenon, once predominant only in the big urban centers, advances towards the countryside, causing changes in the map of homicidal violence in Brazil. The stratification of the municipality according to living conditions and special distribut...
Identificar as taxas de adesão à vacina contra influenza entre profissionais e estudantes da saúde e verificar que fatores concorrem para o aumento ou diminuição da aderência ao imunobiológico. Utilizou-se como metodologia a revisão integrativa, com busca na base da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde. Foram analisados 58 artigos. Verificou-se variação nas taxas, havendo certa confluência nos resultados por país, com diferenças quando comparadas as categorias profissionais. A crença na autoproteção e a disponibilidade gratuita da vacina contribuíram para adesão, enquanto a crença de que os profissionais não se constituem em grupo de risco, objeção à vacina e seus efeitos colaterais, falta de tempo e custos colaboraram para a não adesão. A estrutura organizacional das instituições parece ter relevância na adesão. Contudo, parte dos trabalhos centra-se nos motivos pessoais que levam o indivíduo a aderir. Sugere-se, complementarmente, outras investigações científicas, com ênfase nas instituições e seus mecanismos de incentivo à vacinação.
