pregnancy in adolescence is associated to late onset of pre-natal care and few appointments along it, use of abortive procedures at the onset of gestation, low schooling, no mates, low birth weight, prematurity, and lower incidence of cephalo pelvic disproportion and pre-eclampsia. Among aged pregnant women, there was association with diabetes, pre-eclampsia, premature membrane rupture, Apgar index lower than seven at the fifth minute and higher ratio of cesarean section.
Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a qualidade de vida da mulher trabalhadora e verificar a suas relações com aspectos sociodemográficos e ocupacionais. Estudo transversal, em uma amostra de 579 mulheres trabalhadoras de um município de 318.000 habitantes. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário para caracterização sociodemográfica, ocupacional e do WHOQOL-BREF. Para análise utilizou-se estatística descritiva, Teste t-student e correlação de Pearson. As mulheres trabalhadoras apresentaram 42,70 ±13,74 anos, houve predomínio de escolaridade entre 09 a 12 anos, cor da pele branca, renda individual mensal de até um salário mínimo, com apenas um emprego com vínculo celetista ou funcionalismo público. A média da Qualidade de Vida foi de 72,87, com melhor resultado no domínio das Relações Sociais e o menor do Meio Ambiente. O domínio Meio Ambiente foi significativamente comprometido nas mulheres que não tinham pausas para descanso durante o trabalho, não tinham bom relacionamento com os colegas, apresentavam maior número de doenças ou lesões, possuíam menor escolaridade e renda mensal. O Domínio das Relações sociais foi significativamente afetado pelo número de lesões ou doenças.
This study aimed to characterize women's socioeconomic and epidemiological profile in Uberaba according to the breast cancer screening practice and identify associated factors with this practice. This is a cross-sectional research part of the Women's Health Survey in Uberaba (MG). Data was collected by home interview, referring to socioeconomic and epidemiological issues and breast cancer screening practice, from a sample of 1,520 women above 20 years of age. After processing the data, we performed statistical analysis with measures of association by the Chi-square test, bivariate and multivariate Poisson regression, with a significance level of 5%. The results showed a profile of breast cancer screening practice with white women (66%), high schooling and per capita income, in common-law marriage (67,5%), non-heads of households (64,4%) and non-smokers (64,6%). Factors associated with higher practice were the age groups 40-49 and 50-69 years (PR = 0.7 and 0.64), per capita income higher than one minimum wage (PR = 1.17) and public or health plan mammography coverage (PR = 1.98 and 1.94). We can conclude that factors associated with breast cancer screening practice have been identified in the studied sample.
Pelvic floor muscle training in nulliparous sedentary pregnant women does not increase BP. It significantly increases HR during the exercise sessions, but only for a limited period of time and with no negative long-term effect on BP or HR.
Introduction: The effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) depends on the correct prescription of intensity, repetition and endurance of muscle contractions, which are provided by an adequate assessment of pelvic floor muscle. Objective: Verify the techniques, resources and strategies used for clinical functional evaluation of female pelvic floor (PF) described in literature. Methods: It’s an integrative review of published studies and books from 2010 until December 2015. Relevant articles with complete description of PF evaluation were found through the use of Scielo, LILACS, PubMed and Medline databases. Results: 34 articles that fulfilled all the criteria were selected. Conclusion: The most used techniques, resources and strategies were: anamnesis, physical examination, measurement of pelvic floor muscle activity using Modified Oxford Scale or perineometry, and use of questionnaires to analyze patient's perspective of their own symptoms. Thus, we could use the parameters obtained in the evaluation to plan an ideal PFMT for each patient, so the physiotherapist would have a good database to analyze the evolution and define the end of therapy.
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.
