ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the contamination index of metals and pesticides in pregnant women, and to relate this to perinatal outcomes. METHODS: Descriptive, retrospective, exploratory study, developed from existing secondary data analyses at Level III maternity center. A total of 40 mothers with their newborns (NB), living in a rural area in Botucatu- Brazil and surrounding region. Blood samples from mothers and newborn were collected to determine the total contamination index for metals and pesticides. The concentrations of each metal and each pesticide were determined in blood samples of mothers and their newborns by Rudge's results. After obtaining these concentrations, the total contamination index in mother and NB was calculated, along with its correlation with clinical parameters of NB. RESULTS: There was no correlation (p> 0.05) between maternal contamination index with NB clinical parameters, and NB contamination index versus NB clinical parameters. CONCLUSION: The maternal contamination index of metals and pesticides was not related to perinatal outcomes, but it could be used as baseline parameter in future toxicological studies, regarding to long-term toxic characteristics as persistent organic pollutants, its long half-lives, bioacumulative, and expected to impose serious health effects on humans.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: avaliar as características qualitativas da relacão interpessoal entre os profissionais de saúde e a mulher com abortamento incompleto durante o atendimento hospitalar. MÉTODOS: estudo de caso exploratório, que se apóia na análise qualitativa de dados de mulheres de 15 a 30 anos, com diagnóstico de abortamento incompleto, utilizando-se observacão e entrevista, durante o período de fevereiro a abril de 2000, em uma maternidade do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. RESULTADOS: a relacão interpessoal entre cliente e profissional foi eminentemente técnica, desconsiderando-se os demais aspectos que integram o ser feminino. Além da necessidade de privacidade e respeito diante de um problema que muitas vezes não é compreendido, os profissionais de saúde, ao prestarem assistência, expuseram seus próprios preconceitos e julgamentos negativos acerca da mulher sob seus cuidados. CONCLUSÕES: a prática do profissional de saúde demonstra a necessidade de assumir-se um posicionamento em que, além dos aspectos biológicos, sejam levados em conta os elementos de ordem psicossocial, compatíveis com a almejada humanizacão da assistência à mulher.
