Syphilis in women coming out of the prison system: prevalence and associated factors

Abstract

Objective: to understand the existential experience of children undergoing chemotherapy on the importance of playing. Methods: qualitative research performed in the outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital with five children undergoing chemotherapy. Data were collected through the interviews and analyzed in the light of the Humanistic Nursing Theory. Results: the discourses revealed the children's understanding of their illness and their treatment, evidencing the deprivations experienced by them and the situation of emotional imbalance. Playing, according to the children's reports, elicited positive feelings and represented a way for time to pass faster. Conclusion: the chemotherapy treatment was considered ambiguous, being an unpleasant experience, but necessary for cure. The games in the outpatient chemotherapy service were a viable tool to deal with the discontent before the situation lived, provoking positive feelings such as happiness and satisfaction.

Manifestações da sífilis na cavidade oral: revisão de literatura

Syphilis in riverine communities: prevalence and associated factors

“…Riverside dwellers who reported a history of imprisonment at some point in their lives were approximately seven times more likely (OR 7.39; 95%CI: 1.61-33.7) to have a positive rapid test result for syphilis. Research identifies that prisons provide a favorable epidemiological scenario for increasing STI rates due to the prison population's high-risk behavior, such as sexual intercourse without condom use, sexual violence, in addition to sharing of sharp objects, especially for the use of injecting drugs (9,29) .…”

“…Low adherence to condom use, multiple partners, and injecting drug use may represent individual vulnerabilities related to risky sexual behaviors that increase the incidence of syphilis (7,9) . In addition, the influence of socioeconomic aspects, such as low education, low income, and difficult access to health services, are also determining factors for maintenance and/or the emergence of an infection (10) .…”

Gravidez na adolescência: um olhar sob a ótica psicossocial

“…Um outro estudo sobre a sífilis e seus fatores associados, evidenciou-se que foi mais prevalente entre as mulheres que tiveram relações sexuais com múltiplos parceiros, reafirmando que essa exposição pode acentuar o risco à infecção (Silva et al, 2018). Diante dessa perspectiva de comportamento sexual de risco, ficou claro que é necessária a potencialização das políticas públicas e educação sexual, assim como a atualização de conceitos e fatores que podem impactar diretamente nos comportamentos sexuais dos adolescentes (Graf, et al, 2020).…”
