Conduta das funcionárias de um hospital na adesão ao programa de prevenção do câncer de mama

Abstract

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a adesão das funcionárias de um hospital em um programa de prevenção do câncer de mama por meio da mamografia. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: O estudo contou com 91 funcionárias analisadas por meio de questionário e acompanhamento da periodicidade da mamografia de 2000 até 2009. RESULTADOS: Foram realizadas 247 mamografias. Quarenta e oito funcionárias informaram obedecer à periodicidade do exame, e dessas, 12,6% realizaram o exame por solicitação médica, 47,9% por conhecerem a importância do exame, 4,1% por terem casos de câncer na família e 35,4% por rotina. Quarenta e três funcionárias não obedeceram à periodicidade do exame, sendo que 37,3% não fazem por não terem solicitação médica, 20,9% por não conseguirem pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, 18,6% por medo, 23,2% por não conhecerem a importância. CONCLUSÃO: A adesão ao programa foi baixa. As funcionárias desse hospital não têm conhecimento sobre a prevenção do câncer de mama.

Performance of diagnostic centers in the classification of opportunistic screening mammograms from the Brazilian public health system (SUS)

“…In the present study, as the production of screening mammograms was analyzed, the authors observed that 44% of the mammograms were performed on patients in the age range between 40 and 49 years, 31.7% in the age range between 50 and 59 years, and 13.2% in the age range between 60 and 69 years. Such results demonstrate that the prevalence of mammograms is not coincident with the age group with highest breast cancer incidence, and that, like in other studies, the physician-patient relationship seems to be the most significant predictor for the performance of mammography (10,32,41,42) .…”

“…In Brazil, despite investments and improvements in health efforts, with breast cancer management being one of the priorities in health policies, what one actually observes is an opportunistic mammographic screening limited by logistical and economic factors as well as by socio-cultural barriers (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . A study undertaken in the city of Taubaté, São Paulo State, Brazil, demonstrates such situation, as a substantial proportion of women is not screened or does not comply with received recommendations.…”

Knowledge about Risk Factors for Breast Cancer and Having a Close Relative with Cancer Affect the Frequency of Breast Self-Examination Performance

“…Recent Brazilian literature about early breast cancer detection is mainly focused on women's knowledge about prevention and mammography performance (Santos and Chubaci, 2011;Azevedo et al, 2012;Schneider et al, 2013;Vieira et al, 2015). Few Brazilian studies have assessed women's knowledge about BSE and underlying reasons for its performance: Most descriptive Brazilian studies about BSE, that mainly focused on intervention including small groups of women, have been conducted in southern regions of the country (Nascimento et al, 2009;Araujo et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2010;Grego et al, 2011;Silva and Riul, 2011;Gomes et al, 2012).…”

Step-by-step of ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy of the breast: review and technique

“…An increasing preoccupation has been demonstrated in the recent Brazilian radiological literature towards the importance of imaging studies in the improvement of breast diseases diagnosis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) .…”
