Family Planning Concerns Among Women With Psoriasis: A Descriptive, Cross-Sectional, Multicenter Study. / Percepción de la mujer con psoriasis en la planificación familiar: Estudio descriptivo, transversal y multicéntrico.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A significant proportion of women of childbearing age have psoriasis. The aim of this study was to examine family planning concerns in this population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted between March 2020 and October 2021. We collected sociodemographic data and analyzed responses to a family planning questionnaire administered to women aged 18 to 45 years with plaque psoriasis who were candidates for systemic treatment. RESULTS: We studied 153 patients (mean [SD] age, 35.4 [8.0] years; mean disease duration, 16.7 years) being treated at 11 Spanish hospitals. Overall, 38.4% of women were considered to have moderate to severe psoriasis by their physicians; perceived severity ratings were significantly higher among women. Psoriasis affected the women's desire to become pregnant or led to their delaying pregnancy in 1 in 3 respondents. They were concerned that their condition might worsen if they had to discontinue or switch treatment or that the treatment might harm the baby. Approximately half of the women had not received family planning counseling from their physicians, and this was more likely to be the case among never-pregnant women. Women on biologic therapy (58.7%) had better psoriasis control and a better quality of life than women on other treatments. Their sexual health was also less affected. CONCLUSIONS: Women with psoriasis have numerous family planning concerns, which in some cases can lead them to delay pregnancy or affect their desire to become pregnant. Dermatologists need to receive better training regarding family planning in women with psoriasis so that they can provide their patients with more and better information.

(Re)produciendo profesionales peruanos: la asistencia social y la ciudadanía-materna de las madres quechuas empobrecidas.

A través de los discursos de independencia financiera y «profesio-nalización¼ de la descendencia promovidos por la asistencia médica (SIS) y social (Juntos) provista por el Estado, las mujeres quechuas que viven en la pobreza descubren que, al ingresar a la maternidad, su plena ciudadanía se vuelve condicional a los comportamientos exitosos y la administración de los hijos para obtener un medio de vida más «deseable¼ que el suyo. Esto sugiere que la maternidad, mientras se es pobre, da un valor moral a las mujeres que el Estado usa para justificar su monitoreo y gobierno. Este artículo se basa en un año de trabajo de campo etnográfico en comunidades rurales y centros o puestos de salud en la provincia de Vilcashuamán, departamento de Ayacucho, Perú. Se realizaron cien entrevistas con mujeres, hombres y trabajadores de la salud, además de una importante observación participante. Si bien los discursos generalizados sobrecargan las libertades de las mujeres, existen alternativas a la «profesionalización¼ de los jóvenes indígenas que no requieren la educación financiera impuesta actual-mente a las madres. Este documento sugiere que los valores morales asignados a las maternidades pobres a veces se usan injustamente como justificación para la intervención reproductiva y la revocación de la ciudadanía plena para las mujeres indígenas pobres.

Family planning, antenatal and delivery care: cross-sectional survey evidence on levels of coverage and inequalities by public and private sector in 57 low- and middle-income countries.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the role of the private sector in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We used Demographic and Health Surveys for 57 countries (2000-2013) to evaluate the private sector's share in providing three reproductive and maternal/newborn health services (family planning, antenatal and delivery care), in total and by socio-economic position. METHODS: We used data from 865 547 women aged 15-49, representing a total of 3 billion people. We defined 'met and unmet need for services' and 'use of appropriate service types' clearly and developed explicit classifications of source and sector of provision. RESULTS: Across the four regions (sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East/Europe, Asia and Latin America), unmet need ranged from 28% to 61% for family planning, 8% to 22% for ANC and 21% to 51% for delivery care. The private-sector share among users of family planning services was 37-39% across regions (overall mean: 37%; median across countries: 41%). The private-sector market share among users of ANC was 13-61% across regions (overall mean: 44%; median across countries: 15%). The private-sector share among appropriate deliveries was 9-56% across regions (overall mean: 40%; median across countries: 14%). For all three healthcare services, women in the richest wealth quintile used private services more than the poorest. Wealth gaps in met need for services were smallest for family planning and largest for delivery care. CONCLUSIONS: The private sector serves substantial numbers of women in LMICs, particularly the richest. To achieve universal health coverage, including adequate quality care, it is imperative to understand this sector, starting with improved data collection on healthcare provision.

[Acceptance of family planning methods in birth, cesarean and curettage]. / Aceptación de los métodos de planificación familiar en parto, cesárea y legrado.

Background: More than 120 million women worldwide want to avoid pregnancy, but most are not using contraception. This could be because they may not have received clear instructions on how to use the method properly, may not have obtained the most appropriate method for their needs, or may not have been aware of the side effects. Objective: To compare the acceptance of family planning methods (FPM) in women attended for childbirth, caesarean section, and curettage. Material and methods: Cross-sectional, analytical, prolective study. Women between 18 and 40 years of age in the immediate puerperium attended at a third level hospital were included. A survey which included 5 items with multiple choice answers and 7 with open answers was applied. General data were gathered, included the acceptance or not of some planning method, and the reason for its use or rejection. In addition, it was identified which methods they knew, if they received counseling and the perspective of effectiveness. Results: A total of 648 women were included; 216 women in each group. It was found that there is a higher percentage of acceptance of FPM in women attended by cesarean section, compared to those attended by delivery and curettage (p = 0.0158). Conclusions: Women attended by cesarean section are more willing to approve FPM, compared to those attended by delivery and curettage. Those patients who receive counseling are the most informed and the ones who approve FPM. Nurses and family physicians are the health workers who offer more counseling.

Introducción: más de 120 millones de mujeres en el mundo quieren evitar el embarazo, pero la mayoría no están empleado algún método anticonceptivo. Esto puede deberse a que no hayan recibido instrucciones claras acerca de cómo utilizar el método de manera adecuada, no hayan conseguido el anticonceptivo más apropiado a sus necesidades o no conocieran los efectos secundarios. Objetivo: comparar la aceptación de los métodos de planificación familiar (MPF) de mujeres atendidas de parto, cesárea y legrado. Material y métodos: estudio transversal, analítico, prolectivo. Se incluyeron mujeres entre 18 y 40 años que estaban en puerperio inmediato y que fueron atendidas en un hospital de tercer nivel. Se aplicó una encuesta que incluía 5 ítems con respuesta de opción múltiple y 7 con respuestas abiertas. Se tomaron datos generales, la aceptación o no de algún método de planificación, el motivo de su uso o rechazo. Además, se identificaron cuáles métodos conocían, si recibieron consejería y la perspectiva de la efectividad. Resultados: se incluyeron 648 mujeres, 216 por cada grupo. Se encontró que hay un mayor porcentaje de aceptación de los MPF en mujeres atendidas por cesárea, en comparación con aquellas atendidas por parto y legrado (p = 0.0158). Conclusiones: las mujeres atendidas por cesárea aceptan más los MPF, en comparación con aquellas atendidas por parto y legrado. Las pacientes que reciben consejería son las más informadas y las que aceptan más los MPF. Enfermería y médicos familiares son el personal de salud que más otorga consejería.

Percepción de la mujer con psoriasis en la planificación familiar: Estudio descriptivo, transversal y multicéntrico / Family Planning Concerns Among Women With Psoriasis: A Descriptive, Cross-Sectional, Multicenter Study

Antecedentes y objetivos La psoriasis afecta a un gran porcentaje de mujeres en edad fértil. Nuestro objetivo fue conocer las inquietudes de las mujeres con psoriasis en relación con la planificación familiar. Material y métodos Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal y multicéntrico realizado entre marzo del 2020 y octubre del 2021. Se recabaron datos sociodemográficos e inquietudes relacionadas con la planificación familiar de mujeres entre 18-45 años con psoriasis en placas y candidatas a recibir tratamiento sistémico. Resultados Se reclutaron 153 pacientes de 11 centros españoles (edad media: 35,4 ± 8 años, duración media de la enfermedad: 16,7 años); 38,4% de los casos tenían una enfermedad moderada/grave para los médicos, aunque la percepción de la actividad era significativamente superior para las pacientes. En una de cada tres mujeres, la enfermedad limitaba o retrasaba el deseo gestacional. Existía preocupación de que la enfermedad empeorara al tener que retirar o cambiar un fármaco o que los tratamientos perjudicaran al bebé. Alrededor de la mitad de las pacientes no había recibido información sobre planificación familiar en la consulta, especialmente aquellas mujeres sin embarazos previos. Las mujeres con tratamiento biológico (58,7%) tenían mejor situación clínica, mejor calidad de vida y menos alteraciones en la esfera sexual que las pacientes sin tratamiento biológico. Conclusiones Las pacientes con psoriasis tienen numerosas preocupaciones relacionadas con la planificación familiar. En algunos casos, estos miedos podrían llevar a retrasar y/o limitar el deseo gestacional. Sería necesario incrementar la información que se da a las pacientes y mejorar la formación de los dermatólogos en este tema (AU)

[Sexual and reproductive health in Roma women: the family planning programme of Polígono Sur in Seville (Spain)]. / Salud sexual y reproductiva en mujeres gitanas: el programa de planificación familiar del Polígono Sur.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the challenges, resources and strategies of the staff of the family planning programme of the Polígono Sur Healthcare Centre in Seville (Spain) in their care of Roma women. METHOD: This is a descriptive study in which in-depth interviews and discussion groups were held with all programme professionals, including a documentary review of the programme. The information was analyzed based on the Roma Health Integration Policy Index, a tool that evaluates the entitlement, accessibility, sensitivity and capacity for change of health programmes for the Roma population. RESULTS: The professionals encountered multiple challenges to implement the family planning programme with Roma women due to the characteristics of the users and the low sensitivity of the programme towards them. The absence of specific actions for Roma women within the family planning programme, agreed to by the healthcare district, obliges professionals to develop adaptations and strategies to ensure quality sexual and reproductive health services for their users. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to adapt sexual and reproductive health programmes targeted at Roma women by (a) detecting, evaluating, systematizing and disseminating good practices, (b) developing actions that address the multiple vulnerabilities of Roma women, (c) acknowledging professionals who advocate for the health of these women within their organizations, and (d) promoting reproductive justice as the goal of these programmes.

Aceptación y factores asociados con la anticoncepción moderna posaborto en mujeres atendidas en un hospital público / Acceptance and factors associated with modern post-abortion contraception in women treated in a public hospital

Resumen OBJETIVO: Determinar la frecuencia de aceptación y los factores asociados con la anticoncepción moderna posaborto en pacientes atendidas en un hospital público de Perú. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional y transversal efectuado en pacientes en el posaborto inmediato atendidas de junio a diciembre de 2022 en el servicio de Urgencias del Hospital San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, Perú, seleccionadas por conveniencia. Se utilizó un cuestionario validado. Se aplicó la prueba χ2 de Pearson con un nivel de significación del 5%. RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron 166 pacientes en el posaborto inmediato de las que el 94% (n = 156) aceptó algún método anticonceptivo moderno; el más frecuente fue el inyectable mensual (44.0%) y el menos aceptado el dispositivo intrauterino (0.6%). Los factores personales asociados con la aceptación del método anticonceptivo moderno fueron: edad (p < 0.01), no tener pareja (p < 0.001) y ésta estuviera de acuerdo con el anticonceptivo elegido (p < 0.001). Los factores institucionales asociados fueron: tiempo de la consejería en planificación familiar (p = 0.047), privacidad-confidencialidad de la consejería (p < 0.001) y satisfacción con la atención ofrecida durante la orientación (p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONES: La edad, carecer de pareja y estar de acuerdo con ésta acerca de la elección del método anticonceptivo posaborto junto con los factores institucionales (tiempo de consejería en planificación familiar, importancia de la privacidad-confidencialidad y percepción de la atención en consejería en planificación familiar) se asociaron, significativamente, con la aceptación de algún método anticonceptivo moderno posaborto.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of acceptance and factors associated with modern postabortion contraception in patients attended at a public hospital in Peru. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational and cross-sectional study conducted in immediate postabortion patients attended from June to December 2022 at the Emergency Department of the Hospital San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, Peru, selected by convenience. A validated questionnaire was used. Pearson's test c2 was used with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: We studied 166 patients in the immediate postabortion period, of whom 94% (n = 156) accepted some modern contraceptive method; the most common was the monthly injectable (44.0%) and the least accepted was the intrauterine device (0.6%). Personal factors associated with modern contraceptive method acceptance were age (p < 0.01), no partner (p < 0.001), and partner's agreement with the chosen contraceptive method (p < 0.001). Associated institutional factors were agreeing with the time of family planning counseling (p = 0.047), considering the importance of privacy-confidentiality of counseling (p < 0.001), and agreeing with the care offered during counseling (p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS: Age, lack of a partner, and agreeing with the partner about the choice of postabortion contraceptive method along with institutional factors (time of family planning counseling, importance of privacy-confidentiality, and perception of care in family planning counseling) were significantly associated with acceptance of some modern postabortion contraceptive method.

Interrupciones voluntarias de embarazos en un Hospital Universitario de Uruguay: reporte de situación 2019-2020 / Voluntary interruption of pregnancies at the University Hospital of Uruguay: situation report 2019-2020 / Interrupções voluntárias de gravidez no Hospital Universitário de Uruguay: relatório de situação 2019-2020

Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio es conocer el estado de situación de los procesos de las usuarias que asistieron a la policlínica de interrupción voluntaria del embarazo en el Hospital de Clínicas en un período de agosto de 2019 a agosto de 2020. Metodología y materiales: estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo, a partir de la entrevista clínica de salud mental y una ficha de uso interno utilizada para relevar el proceso de toma de decisión. En muestra de 78 usuarias se analizan variables sociodemográficas, ginecoobstétricas y asociadas al proceso de interrupción, antecedentes psicológicos y/o psiquiátricos y motivos de interrupción. Resultados: el promedio de edad es de 25 años, la mayoría en pareja y ciclo básico educativo finalizado. El promedio de edad gestacional fue de 7,36 semanas. El 81% de las mujeres no había realizado un IVE. Un 65.4% de las mujeres no tienen antecedentes psicológicos y/o psiquiátricos. No existe relación significativa entre haber realizado un IVE previamente y tener antecedentes psicológicos y/o psiquiátricos.Utilizaban anticonceptivos 78.2%. Conclusiones: la interrupción del embarazo supone una situación vital estresante para quienes la transitan, se encuentran atravesadas por múltiples motivos que inciden en la toma de decisión de interrumpir. Se infiere que la realización de uno o más procedimientos de IVE no necesariamente está relacionada con tener un antecedente psicopatológico o cursar una psicopatología al realizar el proceso. Es pertinente promover la atención focalizada en las pacientes, integrando la perspectiva de género y derechos humanos, mejorar los procesos de atención, asesoramiento en salud mental, sexual y reproductiva de las usuarias y sus acompañantes.

Objective: The objective of this study is to know the status of the processes of the users who attended the polyclinic for voluntary termination of pregnancy at the Hospital de Clínicas in a period from August 2019 to August 2020. Methodology and materials: The study used descriptive and retrospective methods based on interviews with mental health professionals and a form that was used to ask about how people make decisions. In a sample of 78 users, sociodemographic, obstetric and gynecological variables associated with the discontinuation process, psychological and/or psychiatric history and reasons for discontinuation were analyzed. Results: The average age is 25 years, most people are married and have finished their elementary education. The average gestational age was 7.36 weeks. 81% of the women had not undergone an IVE. 65.4% of women have no psychological and/or psychiatric history. There is no significant relationship between having previously performed an IVE and having a psychological and/or psychiatric history. 78.2% used contraceptives. Conclusions: The interruption of pregnancy is a stressful life situation for those who go through it; they are faced with multiple reasons that influence the decision to terminate. It is inferred that carrying out one or more IVE procedures is not necessarily related to having a psychopathological history or experiencing psychopathology when carrying out the process. It is pertinent to promote patient-focused care, integrating the gender and human rights perspective, improve care processes, and provide advice on mental, sexual, and reproductive health of users and their companions.

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é conhecer a situação dos processos das usuárias que compareceram à policlínica de interrupção voluntária da gravidez do Hospital de Clínicas no período de agosto de 2019 a agosto de 2020. Metodologia e materiais: estudo descritivo e retrospectivo, baseado na entrevista clínica de saúde mental e em formulário de uso interno utilizado para levantamento do processo de tomada de decisão. Numa amostra de 78 usuárias foram analisadas variáveis ​​sociodemográficas, obstétricas e ginecológicas associadas ao processo de descontinuação, histórico psicológico e/ou psiquiátrico e motivos de descontinuação. Resultados: a idade média é de 25 anos, a maioria vive em casal e completou o ciclo educativo básico. A idade gestacional média foi de 7,36 semanas. 81% das mulheres não realizaram IVE. 65,4% das mulheres não têm antecedentes psicológicos e/ou psiquiátricos. Não há relação significativa entre ter realizado EIV anteriormente e ter antecedentes psicológicos e/ou psiquiátricos, 78,2% faziam uso de anticoncepcional. Conclusões: a interrupção da gravidez é uma situação estressante de vida para quem passa por ela, pois se deparam com múltiplos motivos que influenciam na decisão de interrompê-la. Infere-se que a realização de um ou mais procedimentos de IVE não está necessariamente relacionada a ter histórico psicopatológico, ou vivenciar psicopatologia na realização do processo. É pertinente promover cuidados centrados no paciente, integrando a perspectiva de gênero e direitos humanos, melhorar os processos de cuidados e aconselhamento sobre saúde mental, sexual e reprodutiva dos utentes e dos seus acompanhantes.

Representações sociais sobre o planejamento reprodutivo entre mulheres em gravidez não planejada / Social representations of reproductive planning among women with unplanned pregnancies / Representaciones sociales sobre la planificación reproductiva de las mujeres con embarazo no planificado

Objetivo: conhecer as representações sociais sobre o planejamento reprodutivo entre mulheres em gravidez não planejada na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Método: estudo qualitativo, orientado pela Teoria das Representações Sociais, realizado com 15 gestantes, entre abril e maio de 2019. Utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram organizados por meio do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, com auxílio do software DSCsoft©. Protocolo de pesquisa aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: as representações sociais das mulheres em gravidez não planejada evidenciadas pelo Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo foram representadas por oito ideias centrais, a saber: "eu não me preveni, nem ele", "nós nos prevenimos", "eu comprava", "pegava no posto", "construir uma família", "ter esse acesso", "estou por fora" e "eu sei que é disponível". Conclusão: as representações sociais nos discursos das mulheres em gravidez não planejada estavam pautadas no desconhecimento acerca do planejamento reprodutivo, dos anticoncepcionais disponíveis e seu uso correto.

Objective: to understand the social representations of reproductive planning among women with unplanned pregnancies in the Family Health Strategy. Method: qualitative study, guided by the Theory of Social Representations, carried out with 15 pregnant women between April and May 2019. Semi-structured interviews were used. The data was organized using the Discourse of the Collective Subject, with the aid of DSCsoft© software. Research protocol approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: the social representations of women with unplanned pregnancies as evidenced by the Collective Subject Discourse were represented by eight central ideas, namely: "I didn't prevent myself, nor did he", "we prevented ourselves", "I would buy it", "I would get it at the health center", "build a family", "have this access", "I am not aware" and "I know it is available". Conclusion: the social representations in the women's speeches about unplanned pregnancies were based on a lack of knowledge about reproductive planning, the contraceptives available and their correct use.

Método: estudio cualitativo, basado en la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales, realizado con 15 mujeres embarazadas, entre abril y mayo de 2019. Se utilizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los datos fueron organizados mediante el Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo, con ayuda del software DSCsoft©. El protocolo de investigación fue aprobado por el Comité de Ética en Investigación. Resultados: las representaciones sociales de las mujeres con embarazo no planificado reveladas por el Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo fueron representadas por ocho ideas centrales, a saber: "yo no me cuidé y él tampoco", "nos cuidamos", "yo los compraba", "los buscaba en el centro de salud", "construir una familia", "tener acceso", "no participo" y "sé que está disponible". Conclusión: las representaciones sociales en los discursos de las mujeres con embarazo no planificado se basaron en la falta de conocimiento sobre la planificación reproductiva, en los anticonceptivos disponibles y su uso correcto.

Changes in reproductive, maternal, and child health in Haiti during the pre- and peri-COVID-19 pandemic / Cambios en materia de salud reproductiva, materna e infantil en los periodos pre y peripandémico de la COVID-19 en Haití / Mudanças na saúde reprodutiva, materna e infantil no Haiti antes e durante a pandemia de COVID-19

ABSTRACT Objective. To assess changes in reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) in Haiti from August 2018 to September 2021, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. A retrospective study using surveillance data from the Haitian Unique Health Information System, examining two periods: pre- and peri-COVID-19 pandemic. Health indicators at the national level in the two periods were compared using two-sample t-tests for proportions, and average absolute monthly changes were calculated using variance-weighted regression. Results. There was a statistically significant decline in the proportion of most of the indicators assessed from the pre- to the peri-COVID-19 pandemic period. However, the most affected indicators were the proportions of pregnant women with four antenatal care visits, with five antenatal care visits or more, and those who received a second dose of tetanus vaccine, which decreased by over 4 percentage points during the two periods. Likewise, the proportions of children who received diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP), BCG, polio, pentavalent, and rotavirus vaccines also all declined by over 8 percentage points. In contrast, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine increased by over 4 percentage points. A statistically significant decrease was also observed in the average absolute monthly changes of several reproductive and child health indicators assessed. Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to the decline observed in several RMNCAH indicators in Haiti. However, the role played by the sociopolitical crisis and control exercised by armed groups over the population in the last three years cannot be ruled out.

RESUMEN Objetivo. Evaluar los cambios en materia de salud reproductiva, materna, neonatal, infantil y adolescente que se produjeron en Haití desde agosto del 2018 hasta septiembre del 2021, antes de la pandemia de COVID-19 y durante ella. Metodología. Estudio retrospectivo basado en datos de vigilancia del sistema único de información de salud de Haití para estudiar los periodos pre y peripandémico. La comparación de los indicadores de salud a nivel nacional de estos dos periodos se realizó mediante pruebas de t de dos muestras para comparar proporciones, y se calculó el promedio de la variación mensual absoluta mediante una regresión ponderada por la varianza. Resultados. Al comparar el periodo prepandémico con el peripandémico, se observó un descenso estadísticamente significativo de la mayoría de los indicadores porcentuales evaluados. Sin embargo, los indicadores porcentuales más afectados fueron los de mujeres embarazadas con cuatro visitas de atención prenatal, con cinco visitas de atención prenatal o más, o que recibieron una segunda dosis de la vacuna contra el tétanos; estos indicadores disminuyeron en más de cuatro puntos porcentuales en el segundo periodo en comparación con el primero. Asimismo, las proporciones de niños y niñas que recibieron las vacunas contra la difteria, el tétanos y la tosferina (DTPa), contra la poliomielitis, antirrotavírica, BCG, y pentavalente también disminuyeron en más de ocho puntos porcentuales. En cambio, la proporción de niños y niñas que recibieron la vacuna antineumocócica conjugada aumentó en más de cuatro puntos porcentuales. También se observó un descenso estadísticamente significativo en el promedio de la variación mensual absoluta de varios indicadores de salud reproductiva e infantil. Conclusiones. La pandemia de COVID-19 puede haber contribuido al descenso observado en varios indicadores relacionados con la salud reproductiva, materna, neonatal, infantil y adolescente en Haití. Sin embargo, no se puede descartar el papel que ha desempeñado en dicho descenso la crisis sociopolítica y el control ejercido por los grupos armados sobre la población en los últimos tres años.

RESUMO Objetivo. Avaliar mudanças na saúde reprodutiva, materna, neonatal, da criança e do adolescente no Haiti entre agosto de 2018 e setembro de 2021, antes e durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Métodos. Estudo retrospectivo usando dados de vigilância do Sistema Único de Informações de Saúde do Haiti, examinando dois períodos, antes e durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Os indicadores de saúde do país nos dois períodos foram comparados por meio de testes t de duas amostras para proporções, e as variações mensais absolutas médias foram calculadas por meio de regressão linear ponderada. Resultados. Entre o período anterior e o período durante a pandemia de COVID-19, houve uma queda estatisticamente significante na proporção da maioria dos indicadores avaliados. Os indicadores mais afetados, porém, foram as proporções de gestantes com quatro consultas de pré-natal, gestantes com cinco ou mais consultas de pré-natal e gestantes que receberam uma segunda dose de vacina antitetânica, que sofreram uma diminuição de mais de 4 pontos percentuais na comparação entre os dois períodos. Similarmente, as proporções de crianças que receberam vacinas contra difteria, tétano e pertússis (DTPa), BCG, poliomielite, pentavalente e rotavírus também diminuíram em mais de 8 pontos percentuais. Por outro lado, no caso da vacina pneumocócica conjugada houve um aumento de mais de 4 pontos percentuais. Além disso, foi observada uma redução estatisticamente significante nas variações mensais absolutas médias de vários indicadores de saúde reprodutiva e infantil avaliados. Conclusões. A pandemia de COVID-19 pode ter contribuído para a piora observada em vários indicadores de saúde reprodutiva, materna, neonatal, da criança e do adolescente no Haiti. No entanto, não se pode descartar o papel desempenhado pela crise sociopolítica e pelo controle exercido por grupos armados sobre a população nos últimos três anos.

Factores socioculturales, sexuales y reproductivos asociados al no uso de métodos anticonceptivos en adolescentes mujeres / Sociocultural, sexual and reproductive factors associated with the non-use of contraceptive methods in female adolescents

Introducción: El embarazo en la adolescencia es un problema de salud pública en Perú; sin embargo, hay una cifra de adolescentes con vida sexual activa, sin protección anticonceptiva. Objetivo: Determinar los factores socioculturales, sexuales y reproductivos asociados al no uso de métodos anticonceptivos en adolescentes mujeres. Métodos: Investigación descriptiva, transversal; se aplicó un análisis de base secundaria de la Encuesta Demográfica y Salud Familiar realizada en Perú en 2019. La población estuvo conformada por 1 871 mujeres de 15 a 19 años y se excluyeron aquellas que no habían iniciado su vida sexual o con datos incompletos. Se utilizó prueba ji cuadrado de Pearson y regresión de Poisson para el análisis estadístico. Resultados: El 46,6 por ciento de adolescentes no utilizaron métodos anticonceptivos. Se asociaron al no uso de métodos anticonceptivos, factores socioculturales como edad de 15 a 17 años, nivel educativo superior, asistencia actual a institución educativa, razón para dejar de estudiar (p< 0,05); y factores sexuales y reproductivos como: no tener parejas sexuales actualmente, edad de la primera relación sexual entre 15 a 19 años, no tener hijos y no vivir con una pareja (p< 0,05). Según el análisis multivariado, tener 15 a 17 años aumenta la prevalencia de no usar métodos anticonceptivos (Rpa: 1,21 IC: 1,09-1,33). Sin embargo, tener parejas sexuales (Rpa: 0,48 IC: 0,44-0,52) e hijos (Rpa: 0,49 IC: 0,45-0,55) redujeron la prevalencia de no uso de anticonceptivos. Conclusiones: Los factores socioculturales, sexuales y reproductivos asociados al no uso de anticoncepción fueron la edad de 15 a 17 años, tener parejas sexuales e hijos(AU)

Introduction: Teenage pregnancy is a public health problem in Peru; however, there is a number of sexually active adolescents without contraceptive protection. Objective: To determine the sociocultural, sexual and reproductive factors associated with the non-use of contraceptive methods in female adolescents. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional research; a secondary base analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey carried out in Peru, 2019 was applied. The population consisted of 1871 women between the ages of 15 to 19 years and those who had not started their sexual life or with incomplete data were excluded. Pearson's ji-square test and Poisson Regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: 46,6 percent of adolescents did not use contraceptive methods. Non-use of contraceptive methods was associated with sociocultural factors such as age between 15 to 17 years, higher educational level, current attendance at an educational institution, reason for leaving school (p< 0,05); and sexual and reproductive factors such as: not currently having sexual partners, age of first sexual intercourse between 15 and 19 years, not having children and not living with a partner (p< 0,05). According to the multivariate analysis, being 15 to 17 years old increases the prevalence of not using contraceptive methods (RPa: 1,21 CI: 1,09-1,33). However, having sexual partners (RPa: 0,48 CI: 0,44-0,52). However, having sexual partners (RPa: 0,48 CI: 0,44-0,52) and children (RPa: 0,49 CI: 0,45-0,55) reduced the prevalence of non-use of contraceptives. Conclusions: The sociocultural, sexual and reproductive factors associated with the non-use of contraception were the age of 15 to 17 years, having sexual partners and children(AU)

Historia de la anticoncepción y planificación familiar: una revisión narrativa / História da contracepção e do planeamento familiar: revisão narrativa / History of contraception and family planning: a narrative review

Introduction: Contraception has played a central role in much of human history. Since the separation of reproduction from sexuality, in addition to preventing sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptive methods have been used as a tool for birth control, varying in their presentation throughout history, influenced by socio-economic and cultural processes. Method: A narrative review was conducted in the biomedical databases: Scielo, Pubmed, Dialnet, CUIDEN and Google Scholar. The literature search was conducted between August and December 2021. Results: Initial search strategies identified a total of 48247 articles. Once exclusion criteria were applied, 19 journal articles (6 in Scielo, 3 in Pubmed, 2 in Dialnet, 2 in CUIDEN, and 6 in Google Scholar) and 2 books were selected. Conclusions: The resources and culture of society have conditioned sexuality and reproduction in each historical moment. In the 20th century, the struggle for women's rights and freedom over birth control began, thus implementing family planning, which has since provided information about contraceptive methods and facilitated free and confidential access to them.(AU)

Introducción: La anticoncepción ha sido protagonista de gran parte de la historia del ser humano. Desde que se separó la reproducción de la sexualidad, además de para prevenir enfermedades de transmisión sexual, los métodos anticonceptivos han sido utilizados como herramienta de control de natalidad, variando su presentación a lo largo de la historia, influenciada por procesos socioeconómicos y culturales. Método: Se realizó una revisión narrativa en las bases de datos biomédicas: Scielo, Pubmed, Dialnet, CUIDEN y Google Scholar. La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó entre los meses de Agosto y Diciembre de 2021. Resultados: Las estrategias de búsqueda iniciales identificaron un total de 48247 artículos. Una vez aplicados los criterios de exclusión, se seleccionaron 19 artículos de revista (6 en Scielo, 3 en Pubmed, 2 en Dialnet, 2 en CUIDEN y 6 en Google Scholar) y 2 libros. Conclusiones: Los recursos y la cultura de la sociedad han sido condicionantes de la sexualidad y la reproducción en cada momento histórico. En el s.XX se inició la lucha por el derecho y libertad de la mujer sobre el control de la natalidad, implementándose así la planificación familiar, que, desde entonces, proporciona información sobre los métodos anticonceptivos y facilita su acceso de forma libre y confidencial.(AU)

Fármacos modificadores de la enfermedad en la esclerosis múltiple durante la lactancia: revisión de la evidencia actual / Disease-modifying drugs in multiple sclerosis during breastfeeding: a review of current evidence

Introducción: La esclerosis múltiple afecta principalmente a mujeres en edad fértil, y el período de gestación y posparto es de especial interés por las peculiaridades que comporta en cuanto a evolución de la enfermedad y por las consecuencias terapéuticas que se derivan. En el período de lactancia materna (LM), la elección de la estrategia de tratamiento debe poner en una balanza, por un lado, los beneficios bien establecidos de la LM para el recién nacido y su madre y, por el otro, el perfil de seguridad y potenciales efectos adversos en el lactante derivados de la exposición a los fármacos modificadores de la enfermedad, por transferencia a través de leche materna. Desarrollo: Se realiza una revisión de la evidencia actual acerca de la seguridad de los fármacos modificadores de la enfermedad disponibles para el tratamiento de la esclerosis múltiple durante el período de LM, y se recogen datos de transferencia de los diferentes fármacos a la leche materna, así como los potenciales efectos adversos descritos en el lactante. Los fármacos considerados de primera elección durante este período son el interferón beta y el acetato de glatiramer. El resto de los fármacos modificadores de la enfermedad no están aceptados para su utilización en el período de LM por ficha técnica. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, se han publicado datos de estudios de práctica clínica y series de casos que indican que algunos de estos fármacos podrían utilizarse con seguridad durante este período. Conclusiones: Teniendo en cuenta los beneficios reconocidos de la LM para la salud tanto de la madre como del lactante, se debe recomendar la LM exclusiva a las pacientes con esclerosis múltiple siempre que sea posible. Es fundamental realizar una evaluación individualizada previa al embarazo y valorar las diferentes opciones de tratamiento en función de cada paciente.(AU)

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis mainly affects women of childbearing age, and the pregnancy and postpartum period is of special interest because of the peculiarities of the disease course and the therapeutic consequences that derive from it. During the period of breastfeeding (BF), the choice of treatment strategy must weigh up the well-established benefits of BF for both the newborn and the mother against the safety profile and potential adverse effects on the infant resulting from exposure to disease-modifying drugs transferred through breast milk. Development: The study reviews the current evidence on the safety of disease-modifying drugs available for the treatment of multiple sclerosis during the BF period, and gathers data on the transfer of the different drugs into breast milk, as well as the potential adverse effects described in the infant. The drugs of first choice during this period are interferon beta and glatiramer acetate. The rest of the disease modifying drugs are not accepted for use in the BF period according to their summary of product characteristics. However, in recent years, data from studies of clinical practice and case series have been published suggesting that some of these drugs could be used safely during this period. Conclusions: Given the recognised health benefits of BF for both mother and infant, exclusive breastfeeding is recommended whenever possible. It is essential to carry out an individualised assessment prior to pregnancy and to evaluate the different treatment options depending on each patient.(AU)

Planejamento familiar e maternidade tardia no Brasil: gestação de alto risco a partir dos 35 anos / Family planning and late motherhood in Brazil: high-risk pregnancy over 35 years

Objetivo: investigar o direito da mulher acima dos 35 anos ao planejamento familiar, uma vez que a partir dessa faixa etária o exercício do direito reprodutivo poderá trazer riscos à sua saúde e à do feto. Metodologia: tratou-se de uma pesquisa baseada em revisão bibliográfica narrativa e descritiva, utilizando-se de artigos publicados em periódicos especializados em ciências da saúde e em direito à saúde, livros e coletâneas. Para os artigos, foram utilizados os seguintes descritores, em especial, nas plataformas Google Acadêmico, EBSCO e Periódicos CAPES: maternidade tardia; riscos da maternidade tardia; maternidade tardia e mercado de trabalho. Resultados: observou-se que o corpo da mulher a partir dos 35 anos de idade já não está mais tão apto à maternidade como o da mulher entre os 20 e 29 anos, idade considerada ideal para a procriação. Ao adiar a maternidade, pelos mais variados motivos, a mulher coloca-se frente a frente a uma gravidez de risco, em razão dos graves problemas de saúde que poderão ocorrer durante a gestação, fazendo com que essa gravidez seja considerada de alto-risco tanto para ela quanto para o bebê. Conclusão: a mulher que opta por adiar a maternidade deve ser devidamente informada pelo profissional da saúde especializado em reprodução humana, artificial ou não, sobre os graves problemas que a gravidez tardia pode causar a ela e ao bebê.
