The Relegated Goal of Health Institutions: Sexual and Reproductive Health

Abstract

Sexual and reproductive health does not always receive the attention it deserves and frequently is not supported with the necessary resources to guarantee its maintenance [...]

Factors Associated with Obstetric Violence Implicated in the Development of Postpartum Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Systematic Review

“…Several studies reveal that prioritizing medical interventions over women's management control and autonomy can lead to women's painful experience of obstetric assistance [60], affecting postpartum maternal health and dehumanization of clinical care of women [57,61]. This reinforces that OV is a health issue that needs to be recognized and intervened by professionals, the health system, governments, and society [17,62]. In this way, it will be able to humanize pregnancy and maternity.…”

“…PPD is a frequent mental disorder with a maintained prevalence over time [10,11,15]. PDD and PTSD can be increased if associated with stressful experiences during obstetric care [17][18][19]63].…”

“…Socio-economic deprivation, low educational attainment, fall in self-esteem and self-efficacy, insecure attachment style in childhood, history of violence and depressive somatic symptoms, weak social support, unplanned pregnancy, and poor prenatal care have been identified as risk factors for PPD [13][14][15][16]. PTSD is rising during the postpartum period [17], with a prevalence of 4.7% [18] and up to 15.7% in risk groups (i.e., women with past trauma and psychological issues, low social support, and/or traumatic birth experience) [19]. Common risk factors associated with PTSD are fear of childbirth, insecure attachment style in infancy [9], a premature newborn with low birth weight, low educational level [20], psychological disorders, and surgical interventions [21].…”

Recombinant Protein of Immunogenic Metabolic Enzyme Epitopes of Trichomonas vaginalis are Common to Humans and Microorganisms

“…The approach recently published [4] was used to synthesize another epitope chain protein [6] called AEG::SOE3 (Figures 1,2). This AEG::SOE3 is different from AEG::SOE2 because the epitopes of fructose1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (A), α-enolase (E), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G) are not unique to T. vaginalis and share ≥50% to 100% amino acid identity with the human homologue as well as homologues of C. albicans, E. coli, S. cerevisiae, S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, and S. pyogenes and the three other STI agents, C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, and T.…”

Vulnerabilidades Relacionadas a Saúde Sexual De Mulheres Atendidas Em Um Consultório De Enfermagem

“…Requisita uma abordagem positiva e respeitosa da sexualidade e das relações sexuais, objetiva que mulheres e homens possam desfrutar e expressar sua sexualidade, de forma agradável e segura sem riscos de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, gestações não desejadas, coerção, violência e discriminação. (2,3) A garantia deste direito está em consonância com o cumprimento da Agenda 2030, da Tropical Medicine and International Health conforme consta nos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável relacionados a boa saúde, bem-estar e igualdade de gênero. (4,5) A saúde sexual é fundamental para a igualdade entre homens e mulheres, a sobrevivência e o bem-estar da humanidade e expandiu-se na prevenção de problemas de saúde sexual, gravidez indesejada, infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e violência sexual para avanço de um conceito mais amplo e sistêmico da saúde, constituindo-se em um determinante da saúde.…”
