Construção do nome social de pessoas trans e aspectos relacionados em um município de porte médio do Sul do Brasil / The construction behind chosen names of transgender individuals and related aspects in a medium-sized city in the South of Brazil

Resumo O trabalho analisou o processo de construção do nome social e aspectos relacionados em pessoas trans de um município de porte médio do Sul do Brasil. Foram utilizados dados qualitativos de um estudo de método misto descritivo e exploratório. Incluíram-se pessoas autodeclaradas trans com 18 anos ou mais. Foram conduzidos três grupos focais com dez participantes. Estes, com idade variando entre 19 e 52 anos, apresentam nome social documentado, porém metade ainda não fez a alteração nos registros civis. A técnica da análise de conteúdo produziu duas categorias: "construção do nome social como instrumento de validação da identidade trans" e "impactos da construção do nome social na autoaceitação e nas relações familiares e sociais". Os resultados reforçam a importância do respeito ao nome como forma de contribuição para a afirmação de gênero de sujeitos trans. O nome esteve atrelado às suas vivências, individualidades e valores. Seu uso adequado, muito mais do que o cumprimento de uma legislação, significou respeito às possibilidades diversas da existência humana. Espera-se que os resultados apresentados possam ser utilizados como ferramenta de reconhecimento acerca das questões e nuances que permeiam a construção do nome social, bem como contribuam para a validação identitária.

Abstract This study analyzed the construction process of the chosen name and related aspects among transgender individuals from a medium-sized municipality in southern Brazil. Qualitative data from a descriptive and exploratory mixed-method study was used. Self-declared trans people aged 18 or over were included. Three focus groups were conducted with ten participants. These individuals, aged between 19 and 52 years, have a documented chosen name, but half have not yet changed their civil records. The content analysis technique produced two categories: "construction of the chosen name as an instrument for validating the transgender identity" and "impacts of the construction of the chosen name on self-acceptance and on family and social relationships." The results reinforce the importance of respecting the name as a way of contributing to the gender affirmation of transgender individuals. The name was linked to the experiences, individuality and values of these individuals. Its proper use, much more than respect for legislation, meant respect for the different possibilities of human existence. It is expected that the results presented can be used as a tool for recognizing the issues and nuances that permeate the construction of the chosen name and contribute to identity validation.

Un-tracking menopause: How not using self-tracking technologies mediates women's self-experiences in menopause.

Self-tracking in general, and by women in particular is increasingly researched. In the literature, however, women's interactions with selftracking technologies in menopause-a change that (almost) every woman will go through-is largely taken for granted. This paper addresses this lacuna by asking whether and how menopausal women use self-tracking technologies, and how this (non-) usage mediates their self-experiences. In doing so, it elaborates on another understudied phenomenon: the constitutive significance of "un-tracking"-that is, of various shades and levels of not using self-tracking technologies-in menopause. Most of the 13 interviewed women in this study reported that they stopped, drastically reduced, or resisted self-tracking in menopause. By framing the discussion of these accounts of "un-tracking" within the tradition of post-phenomenology and a phenomenology of situated bodily self-awareness, we show that these women experience their bodies as (1) wise and eu-appearing, (2) unmoldable and dysappearing, and (3) longing for disappearance. Herein, their experientially mediating un-tracking practices are temporally and socio-culturally contextualized in complex ways and bear substantial existential significance. This study establishes the potential harmful ways in which self-tracking mediates self-experiences, as well as the fruitful ways in which un-tracking may do so. Against the background of this observation, this paper makes an appeal to take a step back from uncritically celebrating self-tracking in healthcare contexts, and critically evaluates whether (the promotion of) using (more) self-tracking technologies in these contexts is desirable to begin with.

Dependência funcional dentro e fora de casa em pessoas idosas com 75 anos ou mais: diferenças entre os sexos / Functional disability inside and outside of home of older adults aged 75 years and older: differences between males and females / Dependencia funcional dentro y fuera del hogar en ancianos de 75 años o más: diferencias entre sexos

O sexo é um importante fator a ser considerado na compreensão da dependência de cuidados na velhice. Objetivo:Verificar fatores associados à dependência, dentro e fora de casa, em pessoas idosas com 75 anos ou mais, com ênfase na diferença entre os sexos. Metodologia:Pesquisa transversal com dados do estudo FIBRA. A capacidade funcional nas Atividades Instrumentais de Vida Diária (AIVD) foi dividida em atividades realizadas dentro de casa (uso do telefone, manejo da medicação, tarefas domésticas e preparo da refeição) e atividades realizadas fora de casa (fazer compras, utilizar transporte e manejo do dinheiro). As variáveis independentes incluíram aspectos sociodemográficas e de saúde. Foram estimadas razões de prevalência por meio de modelos de regressão múltipla de Poisson a fim de verificar as variáveis associadas com dependência dentro e fora de casa. Resultados:A amostra foi composta por 804 idosos. Dentro de casa, não houve fatores associados à dependência para o sexo masculino. Enquanto para o sexo feminino, os fatores associados foram fragilidade (RP = 1,99; 95%IC: 1,26-3,15) e 80 anos e mais (RP = 1,41; 95%IC: 1,05-1,89). Quanto à dependência fora de casa, a fragilidade destacou-se como um fator associado a ambos os sexos, masculino (RP = 2,80 95%IC: 1,17-6,64) e feminino (RP = 1,98 95%IC: 1,24-3,17). Conclusões:Para o sexo feminino, a idade avançada e a fragilidade foram os fatores de maior associação com dependência, tanto para o ambiente dentro quanto fora de casa. Para o sexo masculino, a fragilidade foi o único e grande determinante de dependência nas atividades fora de casa, apresentando prevalência maior do que a encontrada na amostra do sexo feminino (AU).

Sexis an important factor to be considered tocomprehendoldage care dependencyObjective:Verify associated factors to dependency, in and out of home, in persons with 75 years or more, with emphasis on sexdifferences. Methodology:Cross-sectional research with data from the FIBRA Study. The functional dependence in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) was divided in activities performed inside home (using telephone, managing medicine, housework and meal preparation) and activities performed outside home (shopping, transportation and managing finances).The independent variable included health and sociodemographic aspects. Estimates on prevalence ratios were made using multiple Poisson regression models to verify the many variables associated with dependency inside and outside home. Results:The sample was composed of 804 older people. Inside home there were not any factors associated with dependency in the males. However, in the females the associated factors were frailty (PR = 1.99; 95%CI: 1.26-3.15) and 80 and older (PR = 1.41; 95%CI: 1.05-1.89). As to dependency outside home, frailty was a factor that stood out in both sexes, male (PR = 2.80 95%CI: 1.17-6.64) and female (PR = 1.98 95%CI: 1.24-3.17). Conclusions:To women, older age and frailty were the strongest factors of dependency, to both inside and outside home. To men, frailty was the strongest and single dependency factor for dependency in outside activities, showing a higher prevalence than that of the female sex (AU).

Conclusiones: Para el sexo femenino, la edad avanzada y la fragilidad fueron los factores más vinculados a la dependencia, tanto para el ambiente dentro como fuera del hogar. Para los varones, la fragilidad fue el único determinante importante de dependencia en actividades fuera del hogar, con una prevalencia mayor que la encontrada en elmuestreofemenino (AU).

Política Nacional de Saúde Integral de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Travestis e Transexuais: análise de imagem / National Policy for Comprehensive Health of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals,Transvestites and Transgender: image analysis

Resumo O artigo analisa a comunicação da imagem da capa da Política Nacional de Saúde Integral de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Travestis e Transexuais. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo-descritivo com análise de imagem conduzida à luz dos conceitos de Judith Butler. O corpus textual tinha 13 textos, seis figuras e o plano de fundo. As principais cores utilizadas foram o preto e o azul. As figuras humanas que performaram o gênero masculino se sobrepõe àquelas do gênero feminino. Os textos apenas situam o teor do documento enquanto política pública. O princípio do conhecimento difundido foi identidade de gênero, sendo este termo identificado com maior frequência. A capa do documento reforça estereótipos ao representar performances de gênero tradicionais de forma fixa e desconsiderar o uso político das cores do movimento a que se propõe representar.

Abstract This article analyzes the communication of the cover image of the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites, and Transgender. This is a qualitative-descriptive study with image analysis conducted in the light of Judith Butler's concepts. The textual corpus included 13 texts, six pictures, and the background. The main colors used were black and blue. The human figures that perform the male gender are superimposed upon those of the female gender. The texts only situate the content of the document as public policy. The principle of knowledge disseminated was gender identity, and this term was identified more frequently. The cover of the document reinforces stereotypes by representing traditional gender performances in a fixed way and disregarding the political use of the colors of the movement it purports to represent.

Estrutura de pensamento social de agentes comunitárias de saúde sobre violência doméstica contra a mulher / Female community health agents' structure of social thinking about domestic violence against women

Resumo Este estudo objetivou descrever a estrutura representacional de agentes comunitários de saúde sobre violência doméstica contra a mulher. Pesquisa quanti-qualitativa fundamentada na Teoria das Representações Sociais na abordagem estrutural. Participaram 107 agentes comunitárias de saúde vinculadas a 18 Unidades de Saúde da Família de um município do interior da Bahia, Brasil, durante os meses de maio a agosto de 2019. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio das técnicas de evocações livres e de centralidade: choix-par-bloc, constituição de pares de palavras e mise-en-cause. Para a análise dos dados, utilizou-se o software EVOC (Ensemble de Programmes Permettant I'analyse des Evocations), análise de similitude e análise do mise-en-cause. A estrutura representacional das profissionais se organiza a partir dos elementos centrais desrespeito e tristeza, que atribuem à representação sentidos negativos relativos a seus posicionamentos e suas repercussões. Conclui-se que a organização do pensamento social das agentes comunitárias sobre o fenômeno apresenta uma dimensão atitudinal e afetiva que fortalece a elaboração de estratégias de enfrentamento a situação de violência contra mulheres, agressores e comunidade.

Abstract This study aimed at describing community health agents' representational structure on domestic violence against women. A quantitative-qualitative research study based on the Theory of Social Representations in its structural approach and carried out in a municipality from inland Bahia, Brazil. The community health agents participated through free evocation and centrality techniques: choix-par-bloc, constitution of word pairs and mise-en-cause, from May to August 2019. Data analysis was carried out by means of the EVOC software (Ensemble of Programs Permettant I'analyse des Evocations), similarity analysis and mise-en-cause analysis. These professionals' representational structure is organized from the central elements of disrespect and sadness, which attribute negative meanings to the representation regarding their positions and repercussions; the other elements integrate specific information to the structure of the representations, justifying them. It is concluded that the understanding regarding organization of the community agents' social thinking about the phenomenon allows its problematization, as well as the elaboration of prevention and coping strategies for women in situations of violence, the aggressors and the community.

Suicídio de mulheres no Brasil: necessária discussão sob a perspectiva de gênero / Suicide among women in Brazil: a necessary discussion from a gender perspective

Resumo O suicídio de mulheres constitui um problema de saúde pública e há escassez de literatura científica que discorra sobre a temática. Neste ensaio teórico, buscou-se discutir o suicídio de mulheres no Brasil, sob a perspectiva de gênero. Para isso, adotou-se a concepção que gênero extrapola o conceito de sexo, tendo em vista que as diferenças entre as pessoas são produzidas pela cultura e arranjos pelos quais uma sociedade transforma a sexualidade biológica em realizações da vida humana. Este texto foi organizado de modo a sinalizar alguns modelos explicativos do suicídio de mulheres, discutindo as desigualdades de gênero e abordando a questão da interseccionalidade a partir de uma visão protetiva. Ademais, acredita-se que o tema abordado é de extrema complexidade, tendo em vista que ainda resistem estigmas e preconceitos referente a este. Assim, urge visibilizar questões estruturais que cercam o suicídio em mulheres, como a violência e as desigualdades de gênero.

Abstract Suicide among women is a matter of public health, and there is a lack of scientific literature on this issue. In this theoretical essay, we sought to discuss suicide among women in Brazil from a gender perspective. For that purpose, we adopted the idea that gender extrapolates the concept of sex, considering that differences between people are produced by culture and arrangements through which society transforms biological sexuality into the realizations of human life. Therefore, this article is organized in a way to indicate some explanatory models of suicide among women, discussing gender inequalities and approaching the matter of intersectionality from a protective view. Moreover, we believe that the theme is extremely complex, considering that stigma still resists, as does prejudice related to this issue. Hence, it is of utmost importance to view the structural questions that refer to suicide in women, such as violence and gender inequalities.

Cuidado em saúde mental com gestantes usuárias de crack / Mental health care with pregnant crack users / Cuidadode salud mental con mujeres embarazadas que utilizan crack

Neste manuscrito, apresentamos uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi o de compreender como vem sendo produzidas as práticas de cuidado às gestantes usuárias de crack nos serviços de saúde de um município do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Este estudo de abordagem qualitativa, foi realizado junto a dois serviços públicos, o Programa de Redução de Danos (PRD) e o Centro de Atenção Psicossocial para Álcool e outras Drogas (CAPSad III), com cinco mulheres voluntárias para a pesquisa. As histórias de vida foram reconstruídas a partir de suas narrativas e também de profissionais da saúde que proveram algum tipo de cuidado às participantes. Após a exposição das histórias, refletimos sobre três pistas importantes para pensarmos as práticas de cuidado às gestantes usuárias de crack: saúde mental, uso de drogas e interseccionalidade; direitos humanos, hierarquias reprodutivas e concepções de maternidade; e as práticas de cuidado em saúde. Observamos que as concepções dos profissionais acerca da maternidade direcionam as práticas de cuidado em saúde, caracterizando-se como um cuidado no espectro da saúde materno-infantil, e não um cuidado direcionado à saúde da mulher. Conhecer as demandas de cuidado dessas mulheres é essencial para que possamos pensar em práticas de saúde pautadas pela clínica ampliada. (AU)

In this manuscript, we present a research whose objective was to understand how the practicesof care to the pregnant women users of crack have been being produced in the services of health in a town of Rio Grande do Sul. This study of qualitative approach it was developed jointly to two public services, the Program of Reduction of Harms (PRH) andPsychosocial Care Centers Alcohol and other Drugs (CAPSad), with five voluntary women for the research. The life histories were rebuilt starting from their narratives and also of health's professionals that provided some care to the participants.After exposing the stories, we reflected on three important clues to think about care practices for pregnant women who use crack: mental health, drug use and intersectionality; human rights, reproductive hierarchies and conceptions of motherhood; and health care practices. We observed that the professionals' conceptions about maternity guide health care practices, characterized as care in the spectrum of maternal and child health, and not care directed at women's health.Knowing the care demands of these women is essential for us to think about health practices guided by the expanded clinic.

Las historias de vida fueron reconstruidas a partir de sus narrativas y también de profesionalesde la salud que brindaron algún tipo de atención a los participantes. Luego de exponer las historias, reflexionamos sobre tres claves importantes para pensar en las prácticas de cuidado de las embarazadas que consumen crack: salud mental, consumo de drogas y interseccionalidad; derechos humanos, jerarquías reproductivas y concepciones de la maternidad; y prácticas de atención de la salud.Observamos que las concepciones de los profesionales sobre la maternidad orientan las prácticas de atención de la salud, caracterizadas como cuidados en el espectro de la salud maternoinfantil, y no cuidados dirigidos a la salud de la mujer. Conocer las demandas de atención de estas mujeres es fundamental para que pensemos en las prácticas de salud guiadas por la clínica ampliada. (AU)

Atuação do enfermeiro para promoção a participação do pai no pré-natal / Action of the nurse to promote the participation of the father in prenatal

Objetivo: apontar as ações do enfermeiro para promover a participação do pai no cuidado pré-natal. Métodos: Trata de um estudo descritivo, qualitativo, realizado com 10 enfermeiros de Unidades Básicas de Saúde do interior do Ceará, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Os profissionais envolvidos na pesquisa relataram entender a importância da participação do pai no pré-natal, no entanto a maioria dos entrevistados demonstrou não ter um conhecimento prévio adequado sobre o assunto, assim como não relatou medidas efetivas de captação desses homens para a consulta. Conclusão: Percebeu-se que os maiores desafios para a efetivação da participação dos pais no pré-natal se encontram nas barreiras sociais e culturais, na falta de preparo teórico dos enfermeiros para se trabalhar com tema e na quase ausência de políticas e incentivos governamentais para se trabalhar com o público masculino.

Objective: Through this study, we sought to point out the nurses' actions to promote the father's participation in prenatal care. Methods: This is a descriptive, qualitative study carried out with ten (10) nurses from Basic Health Units in the interior of Ceará through semi-structured interviews and content analysis. Results: The professionals involved in the research reported understanding the importance of the father's participation in prenatal care; however, most interviewees demonstrated that they did not have adequate prior knowledge on the subject and did not report effective measures to attract these men to the consultation. Conclusion: It was noticed that the biggest challenges to the effective participation of parents in prenatal care are found in social and cultural barriers, the lack of theoretical preparation of nurses to work with the theme, and the almost absence of government policies and incentives to work with the male audience.

Taking care of oneself and others: The emotion work of women suffering from a rare skin disease.

In this article, we analyze the emotion work of women suffering from pemphigus, a rare skin disease. We suggest that this approach sheds new light on the upheavals caused by illness and more generally on the experience of illness itself. Our study draws on a series of 27 interviews with pemphigus patients whose average age was 57. We show that serious and chronic illness does not radically alter the feeling rules in place with close friends and family, despite the uncertainty and emotional upheaval confronting patients. The emotion work they carry out should be understood in light of roles and places established prior to the onset of the disease. Emotion work is embedded in the broader history of relationships with family and friends and prior episodes of illness help create particular configurations and expectations.

Secondary emotional labor: How female nurses respond to the contradictions of caring.

Prior research suggests that caring is in tension with a financially incentivized, technologically-driven healthcare system. Nevertheless, employers, the public, and nurses expect nurses to be caring when providing care to patients and families. This article focuses on nurses' emotional labor strategies when managing emotions related to organizationally imposed interference with caring. We analyzed 27 semi-structured interviews with nurses and found that the unsuccessful performance of emotional labor spills over into the women's relationships at and outside of work. We apply Di-Cicco-Bloom and DiCicco-Bloom's concept of secondary emotional labor to examine our findings and how secondary emotional labor further develops the alienation and exploitation concepts of Hochschild's emotional labor theory. We suggest a structural change in nurses' job design that remedies contradictory caring expectations and supports their emotional labor to prioritize a climate of caring for patients.

Bodies of concern? A qualitative exploration of eating, moving and embodiment in young mothers.

In some countries, including the United Kingdom, young mothers' pregnant and postnatal bodies remain an area of concern for policy and practice, with interventions developed to support improved health behaviours including diet and physical activity. This article explores what young women themselves think and feel about eating and moving during and after pregnancy. Semi-structured interviews with 11 young mothers were conducted within two voluntary organisations. Data were analysed using thematic analysis with the theoretical lens of embodiment, which provided an understanding of how young women's eating and moving habits related to how they felt about their bodies in the world. Four themes situated in different experiences of being and having a body were identified: pregnant body, emotional body, social body and surveilled body. Stress and low mood impacted eating habits as young women responded to complex circumstances and perceived judgement about their lives. Food choices were influenced by financial constraints and shaped by the spaces and places in which young women lived. Whilst young women were busy moving in their day-to-day lives, they rarely had the resources to take part in other physical activity. Holistic approaches that focus on how women feel about their lives and bodies and ask them where they need support are required from professionals. Interventions that address the structural influences on poor diet and inequalities in physical activity participation are necessary to underpin this. Approaches that over-focus on the achievement of individual health behaviours may fail to improve long-term health and risk reinforcing young women's disadvantage.

Barriers to physical activity for father's living in marginalising conditions.

Physical activity can be a conduit for improving men's social connectedness as well as physical gains for well-being. However, marginalised men, and fathers in particular, can be challenged to engage in leisure time physical activity. This qualitative study reports how fathers, who experience complex and significant social and health inequities, conceptualise and experience barriers to physical activity. Drawing from focus groups with 17 fathers, and semi-structured interviews with seven service providers about their perspectives on men's physical activity in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES), a highly marginalised neighbourhood. A masculinities framework was used to describe and contextualise physical activity in fathers' lives. Three themes were inductively derived through the analyses: (1) 'they're busy surviving' a finding referencing the work and limits invoked by poverty wherein survival was triaged ahead of leisure time physical activity; (2) 'there is no activity centre' chronicling the lack of physical activity spaces, programmes and resources available to fathers; and (3) 'lifestyle affects our capability to exercise' a theme detailing how social isolation amplified by factors including housing and opioid crises, and being a father in a resource poor setting imposed significant barriers to physical activity. The findings support reconceptualising physical activity programmes with men who are living in marginalising conditions to address behavioural and structural health inequities in tailoring father-centred programmes and resources.

Critical discourse analysis on the influence of media commentary on fatal fetal anomaly in Ireland.

Fatal Fetal Anomaly (FFA) has generated international media attention as termination of pregnancy (TOP) for FFA was legislated for, for the first time in Ireland. Media offers an insight into what health-related information is available to the public and how it is presented to them. The aim of this study was to examine how information related to FFA, TOP for FFA and perinatal palliative care (PPC) were framed in Irish published media. A critical discourse analysis, which examines the relations between discourse and social and cultural phenomena was implemented. Habermasian's framework facilitated an objective analysis of the text, to facilitate interpretation and understanding of socially produced meanings. A broadsheet and journal were chosen. Dated from 2012 to 2017, 129 articles were identified. Themes of personification of the unborn, human rights and power and politics were embedded in the discourse, creating political influence to sway perceptions and views. Terminology were chosen by different ideological perspectives to create varying contexts and support arguments. PPC was suppressed within the published media. This study highlights misrepresentations in the information delivered to the public and suggests the need for healthcare professionals to expand their media literacy and develop these skills with their patients.

Luto e paternidade: ressignificações da experiência paterna após a perda de um(a) filho(a) / Bereavement and paternity: resignifications of the paternal experience after losing a child / Luto y paternidad: resignificaciones de la experiencia paterna después de la pérdida de un(a) hijo(a)

O estudo baseia-se em pesquisa qualitativa de referencial socioantropológico, cujo objetivo foi compreender as ressignificações da paternidade diante da perda precoce de um filho. Sete homens foram entrevistados em ambientes digitais. Da análise pelo método de interpretação de sentidos, emergiram as categorias: representações sobre a paternidade; a experiência do luto; e ressignificações da paternidade. Os resultados apontaram que: 1) muitas representações paternas remeteram ao processo de tornar-se pai e à dedicação aos filhos; 2) evidenciaram-se particularidades do luto paterno, com destaque aos processos de despedida e às repercussões de apoio social; 3) as ressignificações abarcaram desde mudanças pessoais a iniciativas de mobilização pública. Os mandatos culturais masculinos incidem na invisibilização social do luto paterno. Assim, diante da lacuna existente no tema da Saúde Coletiva, busca-se trazer contribuições para a atenção aos pais enlutados.(AU)

We conducted a qualitative socio-anthropological study with the aim of understanding resignifications of paternity in the face of the loss of a child. Online interviews were conducted with seven men. We performed an analysis of the data using the interpretation of meanings method, resulting in the identification of the following categories: representations of paternity; the experience of grieving; and resignifications of paternity. The results revealed the following: 1) that many paternal representations alluded to the process of becoming a father and dedication to children; 2) the particularities of paternal grieving, highlighting the process of saying goodbye and the effects of social support; 3) that resignifications encompassed a range of aspects from personal change to public mobilization initiatives. Cultural norms of masculinity result in the social invisibilization of paternal grieving. Given the current lack of research on this topic in the field of public health, this study seeks to make contributions to the care of bereaved parents.(AU)

Los mandatos culturales masculinos inciden en la invisibilización social del luto paterno. Por lo tanto, ante la laguna existente sobre el tema en la Salud Colectiva, se busca brindar contribuciones para la atención a los padres enlutados.(AU)

Estresse ocupacional, saúde mental e gênero entre docentes do ensino superior: revisão integrativa / Occupational stress, mental health, and gender among higher education teachers: an integrative review

Resumo O trabalho docente nas universidades tem sido marcado por sobrecarga exaustiva com a lógica do trabalho intensificado e precarizado. Além disso, estudos relacionando gênero, saúde e trabalho docente ainda são escassos. Neste artigo, objetivou-se identificar e avaliar criticamente as evidências científicas relacionadas ao estresse ocupacional e aos transtornos mentais entre docentes do ensino superior na perspectiva de gênero. Realizou-se revisão integrativa nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Lilacs, entre os meses de maio e junho de 2019, a partir das combinações dos descritores indexados: occupational stress; mental disorder; mental health; higher education; faculty; universities e das palavras-chave: faculty teacher; faculty teachers; university teacher; university teachers; academic setting; academic settings. Os resultados sinalizam que o estresse ocupacional é uma realidade nas universidades, com docentes cada vez mais insatisfeitos(as) e apresentando altas prevalências de transtornos mentais e sintomas depressivos. Ficou evidente a necessidade de responsabilização por parte da gestão educacional. A perspectiva de gênero manteve-se ausente ou superficial nas produções acadêmicas revisadas. É preciso concentrar-se em medidas que possam melhorar a qualidade do trabalho nas universidades, tornando-as um espaço prazeroso para homens e mulheres de forma igualitária.

Abstract The teacher's work in universities has been marked by exhaustive overload with intensive and precarious work conditions. Furthermore, studies regarding gender, health, and teacher's work are still scarce. In this article, we aimed at identifying and critically evaluating the scientific evidence regarding occupational stress and mental health among higher education teachers from a gender perspective. We performed an integrative review of literature by searching on PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS, between May and June 2019, from combinations of the indexed descriptors: occupational stress; mental disorder; mental health; higher education; faculty; universities; and the keywords: faculty teacher; faculty teachers; university teacher; university teachers; academic setting; academic settings. The results indicate that occupational stress is common in universities, with teachers showing increasing dissatisfaction and higher prevalences of mental disorders and depressive symptoms. The need for accountability of educational managers is evident. Gender perspective was absent or scarce in the scientific literature revised. Concentrating on measurements to improve the quality of work in universities making them an equally pleasant space for men and women is needed.

Igualdad de género: un tema de actualidad desde la labor de extensión universitaria / Gender equality: a current issue from the work of university extension

Fundamento: la formación de los adolescentes debe ser integral; de forma tal que logren una regulación consciente de su comportamiento, donde cobra relevancia la igualdad de género. Objetivo: diseñar una estrategia sociocomunitaria para favorecer la igualdad de género de los adolescentes, desde la labor de extensión universitaria.

Consumption of alcoholic beverages in Brazil: estimation of prevalence ratios - 2013 and 2019 / Consumo de bebidas alcoólicas no Brasil: estimativa de razões de prevalências - 2013 e 2019

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence of weekly, monthly and abusive alcohol consumption in Brazil in 2013 and 2019, compare the period estimates, and verify the magnitude of the differences. METHODS Analysis of data on alcohol consumption in the adult population (18 years or older) from the National Health Survey (PNS), 2013 and 2019. The number of interviewees in 2013 was 60,202 and 88,531 in 2019. The samples were characterized according to demographic, socioeconomic, health, and alcohol consumption variables and differences in proportions in the period were compared using Pearson's c2 test, with Rao-Scott approximation and a 5% significance level. Multivariate Poisson regression models were estimated for the outcome variables of monthly, weekly and abusive consumption of alcoholic beverages, in order to estimate the magnitude of the differences between the 2013 and 2019 PNS estimates, using the prevalence ratio (PR). Models were adjusted per sex and age group and stratified per sex and demographic region. RESULTS There was a difference in the distribution of the population according to race, occupation, income, age group, marital status, and education. There was an increase in alcohol consumption for all outcome variables, with the exception of weekly consumption in males. The PR of weekly consumption was 1.02 (95%CI 1.014-1.026), and in females the PR was 1.05 (95%CI 1.04-1.06). The highest PRs in the general population and per sex occur for abusive consumption. The increase in weekly consumption per region occurred in the South, Southeast, and Central-West regions. CONCLUSIONS Males are the main alcohol consumers in Brazil; the PRs for both males and females show that there was an increase in monthly, weekly and abusive consumption in the research period; it is noteworthy that females have increased their consumption pattern with greater intensity than males.

RESUMO OBJETIVOS Estimar as prevalências de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas semanal, mensal e abusivo no Brasil em 2013 e 2019, comparar as estimativas do período e estimar a magnitude das diferenças. MÉTODOS Análise dos dados do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas na população adulta (18 anos ou mais) da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS), 2013 e 2019. O número de entrevistados em 2013 foi de 60.202 e, em 2019, de 88.531. As amostras foram caracterizadas segundo variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas, de saúde e de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas; e foram comparadas as diferenças de proporções no período, por meio do teste do c2 de Pearson, com aproximação de Rao-Scott e nível de significância de 5%. Foram estimados modelos multivariados de regressão de Poisson para as variáveis de desfecho de consumo mensal, semanal e abusivo de bebidas alcoólicas, com o intuito de estimar a magnitude das diferenças entre as estimativas da PNS 2013 e 2019, por meio da razão de prevalência (RP). Os modelos foram ajustados por sexo e faixa etária e estratificados por sexo e região demográfica. RESULTADOS Houve diferença da distribuição da população segundo raça, ocupação, renda, faixa etária, estado civil e escolaridade. Houve aumento do consumo de álcool para todas as variáveis desfecho, com exceção do consumo semanal em homens. A razão de prevalência do consumo semanal foi de 1,02 (IC95% 1,014-1,026), nas mulheres a RP foi de 1,05 (IC95% 1,04-1,06). As maiores razões de prevalência na população geral e por sexo ocorrem para o consumo abusivo. O aumento do consumo semanal por região ocorreu no Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste. CONCLUSÕES O homem é o principal consumidor de álcool no Brasil, as razões de prevalência tanto em homens quanto em mulheres demonstram que houve aumento do consumo mensal, semanal e abusivo no período pesquisado, destaca-se que as mulheres têm aumentado o padrão de consumo com maior intensidade do que os homens.

Association among race/color, gender, and intrinsic capacity: results from the ELSI-Brazil study

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To investigate associations among race/color, gender, and intrinsic capacity (IC) (total and by domains) in middle-aged and older adults from a Brazilian cohort. As a secondary objective, we investigate these associations across Brazilian regions. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study conducted with baseline data from the 2015-2016 Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil). IC was investigated via cognitive (verbal fluency), physical (gait velocity/handgrip), and psychosocial (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression) domains. Moreover, IC sensory domain was evaluated via self-reported sensory disease diagnoses (vision and/or hearing impairment) and race/color was identified via self-reported criteria. RESULTS We evaluated a total of 9,070 participants (aged ≥ 50 years). Black and Brown participants were 80% and 41% more likely to show a worse IC cognitive domain than white controls, respectively (OR = 1.80, 95%CI: 1.42-2.28, p < 0.001 and OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.21-1.65, p < 0.001). Moreover, Black and Brown women had almost a threefold greater chance of showing a worse IC than white men (OR = 2.91, 95%CI: 1.89-4.47, p < 0.001 and OR = 2.51, 95%CI: 2.09 - 3.02, p < 0.001) and a 62% (OR = 1.62, 95%CI: 1.02-2.57) and 32% (OR = 1.32, 95%CI: 1.10-1.57) greater risk of falling below our IC score cutoff point than white women. We found the greatest differences in the Brazilian South, whereas its North showed the lowest associations among race/color, gender, and IC. CONCLUSION IC racial and gender disparities reinforce the need for public health policies to guarantee equality during aging. Promoting greater access to good health care requires understanding how racism and sexism can contribute to health inequities and their consequences in different Brazilian regions.

Unpaid domestic work: persistence of gender-based labor division and mental disorders / Trabalho doméstico não remunerado: persistência da divisão sexual e transtornos mentais

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Evaluating characteristics of unpaid domestic work and its association with mental disorders, exploring gender differences. METHODS We analyzed cross-sectional data from the second wave of an urban population cohort (n = 2,841) aged 15 and older from a medium-sized city in Bahia (BA). The representative population sample was randomly selected in subsequent multiple steps. We interviewed the survey participants at their homes. This study analyzed sociodemographic, occupational, unpaid domestic work and mental illness data, stratified by sex (gender). We investigated the association between the work-family-personal time conflict, the effort-reward imbalance in domestic and family work and the occurrence of common mental disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder and depression. We estimated prevalence, prevalence ratios and their respective 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Among the participants, the unpaid domestic activities were performed by 71.3% of men and 95.2% of women, who were responsible for the investigated activities, except for minor repairs. The percentages of paid work were higher among men (68.1% versus 47.2% among women). The distribution of stressors and conflict experiences showed an inverse situation between genders: men depicted the highest high percentage of low work-family-personal time conflict (39.0%), while among women, the highest percentage was of high conflict (40.0%); 45.8% of the men reported low effort-reward imbalance in domestic and family work, while only 28.8% of women reported low imbalance. The investigated mental disorders were more prevalent among women, who showed a significant association between work-family-personal time conflict and common mental disorders, as well as depression; among men, conflict was positively associated with common mental disorders. The effort-reward imbalance, in turn, was strongly related to CMD (Common Mental Disorders), generalized anxiety disorder and depression among women. Amid men, this discrepancy was only associated to depression. CONCLUSIONS Domestic work persists as a mostly feminine assigned activity. The stressful situations of unpaid domestic work and the work-family-personal time conflict were more strongly associated with adverse effects on the female mental health.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Avaliar características do trabalho doméstico não remunerado e sua associação com transtornos mentais, explorando diferenciais de gênero. MÉTODOS Neste estudo foram analisados dados transversais da segunda onda de uma coorte da população urbana (n = 2.841) com idade a partir dos 15 anos de uma cidade de médio porte da Bahia (BA). A amostra representativa da população foi aleatoriamente selecionada em etapas múltiplas subsequentes. As entrevistas foram realizadas nos domicílios dos participantes do levantamento. O estudo analisou dados sociodemográficos, ocupacionais, do trabalho doméstico não remunerado e adoecimento mental, estratificadas por sexo. Investigou-se associação entre o conflito trabalho-família-tempo para si, o desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa no trabalho doméstico e familiar e a ocorrência de transtornos mentais comuns, de transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e de depressão. Foram estimadas prevalências, razões de prevalência e respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%. RESULTADOS Entre os participantes, verificou-se que as atividades domésticas não remuneradas eram realizadas por 71,3% dos homens e 95,2% das mulheres, que se mostraram as principais responsáveis pelas atividades de trabalho investigadas, exceto pequenos consertos. A inserção em trabalho remunerado foi maior entre os homens (68,1% contra 47,2% entre as mulheres). A distribuição dos estressores e experiência de conflitos evidenciou situação inversa entre homens e mulheres: o maior percentual entre os homens foi de baixo conflito trabalho-família-tempo para si (39,0%), já entre as mulheres, maior percentual foi de alto conflito (40,0%); entre os homens, 45,8% referiram baixo desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa no trabalho doméstico e familiar, enquanto apenas 28,8% das mulheres relataram baixo desequilíbrio. Os transtornos mentais investigados foram mais prevalentes entre as mulheres, que apresentaram significativa associação entre o conflito trabalho-família-tempo pessoal e os transtornos mentais comuns e a depressão; entre os homens o alto conflito foi associado aos transtornos mentais comuns. Já o desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa se mostrou fortemente relacionado aos TMC, ao transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e à depressão entre as mulheres. Entre os homens, esse desequilíbrio relacionou-se apenas à depressão. CONCLUSÕES O trabalho doméstico persiste como atribuição majoritariamente feminina. As situações estressoras do trabalho doméstico não remunerado e o conflito trabalho-família-tempo para si associaram-se mais fortemente aos efeitos adversos na saúde mental das mulheres.
