Objective: To know the perception of primary care physicians and nurses about violence against women and their coping. Method: A cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, carried out with professionals from the Family Health Strategy of a municipality in the interior of Ceará, Brazil, who answered a semi-structured interview. The discourses were organized through thematic categorization and analyzed based on relevant literature. The data was also processed in the IRAMUTEQ software. Results: Twelve health professionals, four physicians and eight nurses, who describe the main manifestations of violence in women participated in the study. They point out that for various reasons, among them the low qualification, they do not have capacity to act on complaints of violent acts, emphasizing educational activities as important the recognition of the grievance. As for the notification, it has proved a difficulty for its operation, associated with the fear of retaliation due to the breach of professional secrecy. The word cloud processed by IRAMUTEC reinforces the results, by highlighting the word "no", demonstrating that professionals do not feel safe when confronted with these cases, and most of them do not report the grievance. Conclusions: The professionals of health do not act effectively in coping with violence against women in basic care.
Introduction: Self-medication of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has become common practice as a number of NSAIDs are available over-the-counter and are widely used to treat minor aches and pains and other ailments. GOAL: To present the mechanisms, the main non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and their adverse effects in the practice of self-medication according to the literature. Methodology: This is a literature review carried out in open databases (LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE). The inclusion criteria established were: original articles made available in full and online in Portuguese or English, book chapters and dissertations or theses published in the period between 2009 and 2016. Results and Discussions: The main factors that encourage the practice of self-medication are: the ease of buying medicines without a prescription and the rapid relief of symptoms. Regarding the overdose of these drugs, one of the reasons for the occurrence of this refers to the use of old medical prescriptions by patients who have had previous experiences with NSAIDs, because in many cases the dose prescribed in the old prescription does not have the desired effect, thus causing overdose. In the adolescent population, the main justification for the practice of self-medication was pain, especially headaches, along with advertisements. Conclusion: The rapid relief of pain stands out as the main cause for the practice of self-medication by young people, adults and the elderly.
