Factors Associated with Symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress in Mothers During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the factors associated with symptoms of posttraumatic stress in mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted with mothers of children and adolescents living in Brazil, who answered an online questionnaire containing sociodemographic variables and the Impact of Events Scale-Revised. The Poisson regression model with robust variance was used to identify the factors associated with posttraumatic stress. RESULTS: A percentage of 83.82% of mothers reported an overload in caring for their children during the pandemic. The prevalence of posttraumatic stress symptoms was 39.05%, and this condition was associated with younger age, living in the northern region of the country, using medications, presenting neuropsychiatric comorbidities and being little/more or less satisfied with life. CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: The mental health situation of mothers during and after the pandemic must be monitored, in order to guarantee public policies capable of optimizing the coping with the situation.

Professional identity of mental health nurses: a phenomenological study in Merleau-Ponty.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the professional identity of Mental Health Nurses. METHOD: Qualitative research, based on Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, conducted between October 2019 and April 2020, with sixteen Nurses working in the field of Mental Health, located in two municipalities of the State of Bahia, Brazil. The Phenomenological Interviewwas used to produce the data, which, after transcription, was submitted to analysis using the Analytics of Ambiguity. RESULTS: We outlined the categories: From Classical Psychiatry to Psychosocial Care;Identity leap mediated by the experience of the body itself. We understand that the know-how of Mental Health Nursing is being built in the intersubjectivity with users and the multiprofessional team. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Although the Nursing performance reveals ambiguities that show the transition between Classical Psychiatry and Psychosocial Care, it proved to be powerful to make the "identity leap", a transcendence that shows how much this experience enables acting in Mental Health.

Symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in Brazilian mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study aimed to identify the factors associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in Brazilian mothers of children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a cross-sectional study carried in 2020 with the participation of 822 mothers who answered an online questionnaire containing sociodemographic variables and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). The adjusted model showed a higher depression score in women who became unemployed during the pandemic, who felt a greater burden in taking care of children, who took medication on a regular basis, and who self-assessed their health as regular or poor/very poor. Having a lower family income increased their anxiety scale score. In contrast, the variables associated with a reduced anxiety scale score included greater age, not feeling overwhelmed with demands to care for children, not using medications, not having gastrointestinal diseases, and good/very good self-assessed health. These variables, together with the benefits of living in the Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil as well as sleeping more hours per night, were also associated with reduced stress. The present study is significant as it points out elements present in the daily lives of mothers that have an impact on their mental health. The study points to the need to (re)think mental health policies taking into account the needs of the public studied.

Resultados: Delineamos las categorías: De la psiquiatría clásica a la atención psicosocial; Salto de identidad mediado por la experiencia del propio cuerpo. Comprendemos que el saber hacer de la Enfermería en la Salud Mental se está construyendo en la intersubjetividad con los usuarios y el equipo multiprofesional. Consideraciones finales: Aunque la actuación de la Enfermería revela ambigüedades que muestran la transición entre la Psiquiatría Clásica y los Cuidados Psicosociales, se mostró poderosa para dar el "salto de identidad", una trascendencia que muestra cómo esta experiencia la hace capaz de actuar en Salud Mental.

Prevenção ao câncer de próstata, masculinidade e cuidado: articulações possíveis a partir de revisão bibliográfica / Prevention of prostate cancer, masculinity and care: possible articulations from bibliographic review

O câncer de próstata constitui-se um importante agravo da saúde masculina, como apontam os dados epidemiológicos, sendo a experiência do diagnóstico e adoecimento transpassada por diferentes aspectos simbólicos relacionadas à masculinidade, sobretudo, não há evidências que justifiquem a organização de estratégias de rastreamento populacional. Esta revisão bibliográfica analisou produções de caráter qualitativo acerca dessa temática e suas articulações com a discussão sobre a masculinidade e o cuidado à saúde. Foram identificados 12 artigos, obtidos no SCielo e Medline, posteriormente selecionados e submetidos à análise temática. As abordagens desse tema nas produções identificadas foram organizadas em quatro categorias temáticas, a saber: (i) o câncer de próstata enquanto questão sexual; (ii) exames que tocam os homens; (iii) o teste do PSA em questão; e (iv) como enfrentar o rastreamento. Percebe-se que a discussão é traçada de modo deslocado dos sujeitos a que diz respeito e os aspectos de gênero que implicam nesse debate ainda são pouco evidenciados, de maneira que ainda carecem de maior aprofundamento crítico sob a perspectiva da masculinidade e cuidado à saúde.

Prostate cancer constitutes an important aggravation of male health, as shown by epidemiological data, with the experience of diagnosis and illness passing through different symbolic aspects related to masculinity, and, above all, there is no evidence to justify the organization of population screening strategies. This bibliographic review analyzed productions of a qualitative character about this theme and its articulations with the discussion about masculinity and health care. Twelve articles were identified, obtained from SCielo and Medline, later selected and submitted to thematic analysis. The approach to this theme in the identified productions was organized into four thematic categories, namely: (i) prostate cancer as a sexual issue, (ii) tests that touch men, (iii) the PSA test in question and (iv) how to face the screening. It is noticed that the discussion is drawn in a dislocated way from the subjects to which it concerns and the gender aspects that imply in this debate are still little evidenced, in such a way that they still need further critical deepening from the perspective of masculinity and health care.

["Affected by the touch": Meanings attributed to prostate cancer prevention practices among men]. / "Afectados por el tacto": sentidos atribuidos por hombres a las prácticas de prevención del cáncer de próstata.

The aim of this study was to identify and analyze meanings attributed to practices related to prostate cancer prevention among men. A qualitative methodology was employed, with semi-structured interviews being conducted with 21 men in the city of Vitoria da Conquista, Bahia, between July and August of 2017. Data analysis was based on a dialectical hermeneutic approach. We found that practices related to prostate cancer prevention were based on scarce information and permeated by a sense of fear of the disease, which was thought of as a death sentence. Additionally, these feelings were compounded by the repercussions of rectal examination, perceived as a violation of one's masculinity. We were able to observe that practices devised to prevent prostate cancer reflect the repercussions of conceptions of masculinity regarding men's health care, where manliness and toughness can be susceptible by the touch.

El objetivo del estudio fue identificar y analizar los sentidos atribuidos por hombres a las prácticas relacionadas con la prevención del cáncer de próstata. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, con entrevistas semiestructuradas, en el que participaron 21 hombres del municipio de Vitória da Conquista, Bahía. El período de recopilación de información fue entre julio y agosto de 2017. El análisis de los datos se basó en los principios de la hermenéutica-dialéctica. Se percibió que las prácticas relacionadas con la prevención del cáncer de próstata se elaboran con escasa información y permeadas por sentidos que remiten al miedo a la enfermedad, asumida como una sentencia a la vida, y a las repercusiones del tacto rectal, asimilado como una violación de la condición masculina. Se constató que las prácticas elaboradas para prevenir el cáncer de próstata reflejan las implicancias de la masculinidad en el cuidado de la salud de los hombres y, sobre todo, que la dureza masculina puede sentirse interpelada a partir de un tacto.
