This cross-sectional epidemiological study aimed to calculate the potential years of life lost by female homicide victims in Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil, in 2003-2007

For some adolescents, pregnancy means happiness and fulfillment. However, for most of them, it means a sad moment, characterized by fear and despair, as this is an unplanned situation and the abortion seems the only alternative. This retrospective study aimed at finding out the epidemiological profile of the adolescents admitted at the Clériston Andrade General Hospital, in Feira de Santana, Bahia, that were submitted to a curettage from January 1995 to December 1997. The results showed the need for educative programs in order to prevent unplanned pregnancies.

This meta-synthesis presents the results of qualitative studies on puerperal perception concerning woman's care in the post-partum period. Four databases were researched using keywords such as "postnatal care" (or) "postpartum period", (and) "care", "women", "perception", "qualitative research", "women's health services", "community health services", "allied health personnel", "primary health care", resulting in 9 articles for analysis. Six themes were identified: interpersonal relationship, information, communication, attending the necessities, service organization and other supports. Results report mainly on the unsatisfactory professional care for women, appreciating the form of dealing with promptness and the timing to be attended; trust; content, coherence and the way to inform; clarification of doubts; friendly conversation and clinical assistance. The professional workload was restricted on postpartum period care quality. There were gaps found in clinical practice and in dialogical communication and information on women's health necessities.
