ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the structure and adequacy of maternal healthcare facilities in Piauí. Methods: cross-sectional study in 26 hospitals with more than 200 births/year between 2018-2019. The structure was assessed by direct observation and interview with manager, in four domains: physical aspects, human resources, equipment, and drugs. Fisher's chi-square/exact tests were used to assess differences in adequacy of structure. Results: only 46.2% of the maternal healthcare facilities had pre-delivery, parturition and immediate post-partum room. Pediatricians (73.1%) and anesthesiologists (61.5%) were the least present professionals on-duty regime. Regarding drugs, magnesium sulfate and oxytocin were observed in 76.9% of hospitals. Overall adequacy was 23.1%, being higher in maternal healthcare facilities in the capital (p=0.034) and in private ones (p=0.031). Conclusions: Data show inequalities in the structure of maternity hospitals of the state. The absence of health professionals, essential drugs, and appropriate physical structure can expose women and newborns to unnecessary and avoidable risks.


Resumo Objetivos: avaliar a estrutura e adequação das maternidades do Piauí. Métodos: estudo transversal em 26 hospitais com mais de 200 partos/ano entre 2018 e 2019. A estrutura foi avaliada por observação direta e entrevista com gestor, em quatro domínios: aspectos físicos, recursos humanos, equipamentos e medicamentos. Foram empregados os testes do quiquadrado/exato de Fisher para avaliar diferenças na adequação da estrutura. Resultados: apenas 46,2% das maternidades tinham quarto pré-parto, parto e puerpério. Pediatras (73,1%) e anestesistas (61,5%) foram os profissionais menos presentes em regime de plantão. Dos medicamentes, sulfato de magnésio e ocitocina foram observados em 76,9% dos hospitais. A adequação global foi de 23,1%, sendo maior em maternidades da capital (p=0,034) e privadas (p=0,031) Conclusões: os dados exibem desigualdades na estrutura das maternidades do estado. A ausência de profissionais de saúde, medicamentos essenciais e estrutura física apropriada pode expor mulheres e recém-nascidos a riscos desnecessários e evitáveis.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: Introdução: A sexualidade é um ponto central da vida do ser humano que contempla sexo biológico, orientação sexual e reprodução, além de conceitos complexos como a identidade de gênero, onde a maior parte das dúvidas afloram e - com elas - preconceitos e negligências. Objetivo: Analisar o conhecimento dos acadêmicos de Medicina de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior sobre identidade de gênero. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativo, realizado de abril a maio de 2018 com a aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado a 122 alunos do curso de Medicina, cujas respostas foram entregues em envelopes lacrados e sem identificação. Resultados: Dos participantes, 67,21% e 63,11% desconheciam o conceito de mulher transgênero heterossexual e de homem transgênero homossexual, respectivamente; 67,21% e 61,47% apresentaram respostas inadequadas quanto ao exame ginecológico em pacientes trans e quanto ao processo transexualizador, nessa ordem. Conclusão: A maioria dos estudantes desconheceu conceitos relacionados à identidade de gênero. Considerando-se os limites desta pesquisa, sugere-se uma maior abordagem do tema na graduação.


Abstract: Introduction: Sexuality is a central aspect of a human being's life that consists of biological sex, sexual orientation and reproduction, in addition to complex concepts such as gender identity, where most doubts arise and, with them, prejudices and oversights. Objective: To analyze the knowledge of medical students in a college about gender identity. Method: This is a descriptive, transversal and quantitative study, carried out from April to May 2018, with the application of a semi-structured questionnaire to 122 medical students, whose answers were delivered in anonymous sealed envelopes. Results: Of the participants, 67.21% and 63.11% were unaware of the concept of heterosexual transgender woman and homosexual transgender man, respectively; 67.21% and 61.47% presented inadequate responses regarding the gynecological examination in trans patients and the transsexual process, respectively. Conclusion: Most students were unaware of concepts related to gender identity. Considering the limits of this research, greater attention to this theme throughout undergraduate training is suggested.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Este artigo analisa as mortes maternas de adolescentes no Piauí e descreve as histórias daquelas que morreram por aborto induzido entre 2008 e 2013. O estudo foi realizado em duas etapas. A primeira, quantitativa, obteve dados demográficos e causas básicas dos óbitos do Sistema de Informações de Mortalidade. Na segunda, qualitativa, foram entrevistadas as mães das adolescentes. As mortes de adolescentes representaram 17,2% (50 casos) do total de óbitos maternos. A maior parte das jovens residia em cidades do interior (78%) e era negra (70%). Destacaram-se como causas dos óbitos transtornos hipertensivos (28%), infecção puerperal (16%), hemorragia (12%), tromboembolismo (12%) e aborto (10%). O uso de medicamento ocorreu em todos os casos de aborto, sendo sangramento abundante e dor pélvica os principais motivos para a busca de atendimento hospitalar. Houve demora no diagnóstico e no tratamento adequado das complicações do aborto, o que pode ter contribuído para a morte das adolescentes. As mortes maternas de adolescentes foram causadas por condições consideradas evitáveis. As histórias das jovens que morreram por complicações do aborto evidenciaram a necessidade de assistência em saúde rápida e disponível, além de leis e políticas públicas que protejam as mulheres que decidem interromper a gravidez.


ABSTRACT This article analyzes maternal deaths of adolescents in Piauí and describes the stories of those who died due to induced abortion between 2008 and 2013. The study was conducted in two stages. The first, quantitative, obtained demographic data and basic causes of deaths from the Mortality Information System. In the second, qualitative, the mothers of the adolescents were interviewed. Adolescents' deaths accounted for 17.2% (50 cases) of total maternal deaths. The majority of the adolescents lived in inner cities (78%) and was black (70%). The causes of death were hypertensive disorders (28%), puerperal infection (16%), hemorrhage (12%), thromboembolism (12%) and abortion (10%). The use of medication occurred in all cases of abortion, with abundant bleeding and pelvic pain being the main reasons for seeking hospital care. There was delay in the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of abortion complications, which may have contributed to the death of the adolescents. Maternal deaths among adolescents were mostly caused by conditions considered preventable. The stories of young women who died of abortion complications have highlighted the need for better-qualified health care, as well as laws and public policies that protect women who decide to terminate their pregnancies.

ABSTRACT

Justificativa e Objetivos: A morte de mulheres em idade reprodutiva é um evento de grande magnitude em todo o mundo, mas o perfil é distinto entre as regiões de alta e baixa renda. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar causas básicas e fatores associados aos óbitos de mulheres em idade reprodutiva no Piauí, de 2008 a 2012. Métodos: Estudo descritivo de base populacional, com dados de todas as declarações de óbitos de mulheres entre 10 a 49 anos registradas no Comitê de Mortalidade Materna do Piauí. Foram calculados odds ratio (OR) e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) para avaliar a associação entre as variáveis. Resultados: Neoplasias (20,9%), doenças cardiovasculares (18,8%), causas externas (18,6%) e maternas (5,5%) foram as causas básicas mais encontradas. Causas externas e maternas predominaram entre 10 a 29 anos e, a partir de 35 anos, neoplasias e doenças cardiovasculares. A mortalidade materna foi mais provável de ocorrer em municípios do interior (OR=2,04; IC95% 1,51-2,33), com até 50.000 habitantes (OR=1,33; IC95% 1,16-1,78) e com IDH-M < 0,566 (OR=1,42; IC95% 1,34-2,01). Conclusão: O padrão de mortalidade é semelhante ao encontrado na população feminina brasileira em idade fértil, sendo que as principais causas básicas encontradas poderiam ser evitadas mediante a implementação de medidas de intervenção.(AU)


Background and Objectives: Female mortality in reproductive age is an event of great magnitude worldwide, but the profile is different among regions of high and low income. The objective of this study was to analyze causes and factors associated with reproductive age women deaths in Piauí, from 2008 to 2012. Methods: Descriptive population-based study, with data of all death certificates of women between 10-49 years living in Piauí. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI95%) were calculated to assess the association between variables. Results: Neoplasms (20.9%), cardiovascular diseases (18.8%), external (18.6%) and maternal causes (5.5%) were the most common basic causes. External and maternal causes predominated in the age group between 10 to 29 years and, from 35 years, neoplasms and cardiovascular diseases. Maternal mortality was more likely to occur among women living in inland municipalities (OR=2.04; CI95% 1.51-2.33), and with up to 50,000 inhabitants (OR=1.33;CI95% 1.16-1.78) and HDI-M < 0.566 (OR=1.42;CI95% 1.34-2.01). Conclusion: The pattern of mortality is similar to that found in the Brazilian female population in reproductive age. The main basic causes of death observed can be considered avoidable and intervention measures should be implemented.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Este artigo analisa os métodos, os percursos e as redes de apoio utilizados por adolescentes para o aborto clandestino. O estudo, transversal e descritivo, entrevistou 30 adolescentes internadas após a curetagem uterina por aborto em dois hospitais públicos de Teresina, de junho a novembro de 2011. O consentimento livre e esclarecido foi oral e as entrevistas foram gravadas após a confirmação do aborto induzido. Majoritariamente, as adolescentes tinham entre 14 e 17 anos, eram solteiras, urbanas, moravam com os pais, tinham baixa escolaridade e registravam idade gestacional de 12 semanas. O Cytotec foi usado isoladamente por 28 (94%) adolescentes - de 3 a 6 comprimidos, vaginal e/ou oralmente, que procuraram o hospital após sangramento vaginal e/ou cólicas intensas. Elas compraram o Cytotec sozinhas (43%, 13) ou com ajuda de amigo ou companheiro (40%, 12), em farmácias comuns. O medicamento foi vendido pelo proprietário (45%, 13) ou pelo balconista (55%, 16), que deu as orientações de uso. O apoio para as adolescentes irem ao hospital foi dado pela mãe (40%, 12) ou por amiga (30%, 9). Houve 3 (10%) complicações graves, resultando em internação de até 20 dias. O estudo demonstra a predominância do Cytotec como método abortivo entre adolescentes.


This paper analyses the methods, techniques and support networks taken by adolescents to perform illegal abortions. It is a descriptive and cross-sectional study involving interviews with 30 adolescents who had been hospitalized for uterine curettage in two public hospitals in Teresina between June and November 2011. Informed consent was given orally, and the interviews were recorded after the confirmation of the induced abortion. The adolescents were between 14 and 17 years old, single, and predominantly lived with their parents in urban areas, had little schooling and recorded a gestational age of 12 weeks. Between 3 and 6 tablets of Cytotec were taken orally and/or vaginally by 28 (94%) adolescents, and they were rushed to the hospital due to severe cramping, vaginal bleeding or both. They either bought Cytotec alone (43%, 13), or with the help of a friend or partner (40%, 12). Cytotec was sold to them in ordinary pharmacies, by the owner (45%, 13) or clerk (55%, 55), who provided instructions for use. They went to the hospital with their mother (40%, 12) or a girl friend (30%, 9). Three (10%) adolescents developed serious complications. The study revealed that Cytotec is the main method used to perform illegal abortions among adolescents.
