“…The underestimation of BI occurs both in people living in society [19] and those deprived of their freedom, as observed in this and in other studies [12]. The overestimation of body size is also very frequent in women, regardless of their life context [1,4,20]. A Brazilian study with female students revealed a high imprecision in the perception of body size, confirmed by an 81.3% overestimation [20].…”

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Body Image distortion and dissatisfaction and evaluate the associated factors in incarcerated women in a closed regime. Methods Cross-sectional observational study, conducted with female inmates (n=107) in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Personal sociodemographic data were collected through an interview, and the height and weight were measuredto obtain the body mass index. Body image was assessed using a scale of silhouettes fi gures for Brazilian adults. Prevalence Ratios with their respective 95% Confi dence Intervals and Bland-Altman method were used in thestatistical analysis. Results A total of 83.3% of the participants were affected by body image distortion and 91.6% by body image dissatisfaction. More than a half (58.9%) wanted a lower Body Mass Index (9.01±5.25Kg/m2), however, 32.7% wanted to increase the body size (6.43±4.34Kg/m2). The sociodemographic characteristics, nutritional status (PR=0.99; 95%CI:0.89-1.11), and the time of imprisonment (PR=1.06; 95%CI:0.94-1.19) were not associated with Body Image dissatisfaction. No associations were observed between body image distortion and the time ofimprisonment (PR=1.17; 95%CI:0.96-1.42) or nutritional status (PR=1.10; 95%CI:0.89-1.36). Conclusion Most female inmates were dissatisfied with their bodies and distort their body image, indicating the need for these aspects to be included in the health promotion actions in the prison system.

“…A influência midiática no contexto sociocultural de uma sociedade está arraigada àquilo que é veiculado diariamente. Programas de televisão apresentando indivíduos com corpos sarados e esguios são rotineiros e elevam a audiência 11 . A televisão atrai a atenção de telespectadores com chamadas sobre uma infinidade de artifícios e procedimentos estéticos para melhorar todas as partes do corpo e da face, atrelando o sorriso como porta de entrada dessa mudança, promovendo assim um senso de estética relacionado à autoestima 12 .…”

O conceito de estética é subjetivo, portanto, está vinculado a particularidades de cada região, etnia, educação, gênero, e experiências pessoais dos indivíduos. Através do tempo tem sido manifestada de distintas formas. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar, o conhecimento dos participantes acerca dos procedimentos com finalidade estética, sua execução, e avaliar a satisfação quanto à estética facial e do sorriso. O presente estudo foi do tipo transversal, em um grupo populacional de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do interior do Ceará, composto por acadêmicos do primeiro e decimo semestre, professores do curso de odontologia e pacientes atendidos na clinica escola da instituição, por meio da aplicação de um questionário específico. Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva (distribuições absolutas e percentuais). A associação entre as variáveis foi verificada por meio dos testes qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher, considerando o valor para rejeição da hipótese nula de p < 0,05. Sobre as questões que abordaram o que mais chama a atenção no rosto de alguém, todos os grupos apontaram o sorriso como o item mais atrativo. Em relação à cor e ao tamanho dos dentes, os grupos dos acadêmicos foram os mais insatisfeitos. Quanto a realização dos procedimentos de bichectomia e de lentes de contato dentais com finalidade estética os grupos que mais se submeteriam a estes procedimentos tambem foram os dos acadêmicos. Para a toxina botulínica, os grupos que aderiam a este procedimento foram o dos acadêmicos do 10º período e o dos professores. No entanto todos os grupos abordados submeteriam a algum procedimento para modificar algo na face. Sobre as novas tecnologias e tratamentos utilizados na Odontologia, observou-se que os pacientes demonstraram ter menos conhecimento. Concluiu-se que existe uma divergência entre os grupos estudados em como a estética facial e do sorriso pode ser avaliada e executada.

“…24 Therefore, we observed that the importance is not to seek the changes that a particular object has suffered over a period of time in a given culture but what we see as natural, becomes problematic and historical and since many things that now seem natural are results of a series of contingent events.

The forensic psychiatric hospitals have objective to safeguard and treat mental patients, with a fusion between hospital and prison. Use techniques and disciplinary procedures normalizing criminally insane. The research studies the disciplinary measures used by nursing professionals working at Instituto Psiquiátrico Forense, Porto Alegre, Brazil. The theoretical framework lies in the field of cultural studies, post-structuralist strand, inspired by Michael Foucault notions. Ethnographic reswearch instruments were used: interviews recorded in audio, observation, analysis of documents and images. The results were organized in units: Madhouse or house of prisoners?; The organization of spaces and The control of time. In this institution, nursing carries the prison system heritage, manifested in daily routines. The way of caring, naturalized over time, produces professionals who repeat teachings of jailers, "transforming" patients in what is a normative proposal of the institution: organize it and readjust it according to rules of social life.
