RESUMEN

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever os padrões do suicídio, relacionando-os com aspectos sociodemográficos, espaço-temporais e relacionados ao suicídio na região mais populosa do estado de Alagoas (AL), Brasil. Métodos: Foi delineado um estudo observacional e retrospectivo a partir de dados de suicídio do Instituto Médico Legal localizado em Maceió (AL), compreendendo os anos entre 2016 e 2018. Por meio de regressão logística binária e múltipla foi determinado um modelo estatístico para identificar fatores associados ao suicídio dentre homens e mulheres. Resultados: Do total de suicídios levantados (n = 172), 71,5% eram de vítimas do sexo masculino. A média de idade nos homens foi de 39,3 anos e de 34,1 nas mulheres. O modelo final de regressão logística identificou que homens pretos/pardos tem 12 vezes mais chances (p < 0,001) de cometer suicídio do que os brancos. Além disso homens tem menos chances de se suicidar por intoxicação exógena (p < 0,001) ou queda intencional (p =0,01) do que por enforcamento. Homens em situação empregatícia apresentaram maior chance de suicídio (p = 0,02). Conclusões: Apesar da complexidade do fenômeno em estudo, foi possível verificar alguns padrões para a região mais populosa do estado de Alagoas. O padrão do suicídio no estado seguiu o cenário nacional, afetando homens, adultos, jovens de etnia negra (preta/parda) em situação empregatícia, além do enforcamento como mecanismo padrão entre os homens. O presente estudo poderá ser base para planejamento de intervenções com foco na prevenção do fenômeno, com foco nos determinantes para o suicídio.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the patterns of suicide, relating them to sociodemographic, spatial-temporal and suicide-related aspects in the most populous region of the state of Alagoas (AL), Brazil. Methods: Observational and retrospective study based on suicide data from the Instituto Médico Legal located in Maceió (AL), covering the years between 2016 and 2018. Through binary and multiple logistic regression, a statistical model was determined to identify factors associated with suicide between men and women. Results: From the overall number of reported suicides (n = 172), 71.5% were male victims. The mean age for men was 39.3 years and 34.1 for women. The final logistic regression model identified that black/brown men are 12 times more likely (p < 0.001) to commit suicide than white men. In addition, men are less likely to commit suicide by exogenous intoxication (p < 0.001) or intentional fall (p = 0.01) than by hanging. Men in employment were more likely to commit suicide (p = 0.02). Conclusions: Despite the complexity of the phenomenon under study, it was possible to verify some patterns for the most populous region of the state of Alagoas. The pattern of suicide in the state followed the national scenario, affecting men, adults, young people of black ethnicity (black/brown) in employment, in addition to hanging as the standard mechanism among men. The present study could be the basis for planning interventions focused on preventing the phenomenon, focusing on the determinants of suicide.

RESUMEN

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are among the frontline healthcare workers and are classified as a high-risk group for COVID-19 infection; however, it has not yet been defined how these professionals were impacted. The aim of this study was to explore the conducts and perceptions of oral and maxillofacial surgeons during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Nine individuals, mean age 34.8 years, 66.6% men, were included in the study. A semi-structured interview with a qualitative approach was applied to professionals belonging to a messaging application group (WhatsApp). Content analysis was performed in the light of Hellerian theory in its daily theoretical framework for the interpretation of the memories reported by the participants. Four themes were identified. The lack of knowledge about COVID-19 and the fear of being contaminated during care were the main factors responsible for changes in the professionals' work routine. An important point was the collective reflection of the participants about the increase in biosafety barriers, which ensured a greater sense of security. The need for social isolation to contain the virus was also described. As a result, there was a great distance between professionals and their families, which generated high levels of anxiety in the former. Repetitive reports of slowness and reduced attendance directly related to financial loss and aggravated stress were also highlighted. The findings of this study reveal that oral and maxillofacial surgeons had their professional-personal axis affected in terms of daily habits, family life and financial strain, aspects that were responsible for impacting stress and anxiety levels.

RESUMEN

This study evaluated the construct validity of the instrument Oral Health Literacy among diabetics. A probabilistic random sample of 239 diabetics from an infinite population answered the 10 items of the questionnaire. The structural validity was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis and goodness of fit, chi-square per degrees of freedom ratio (X2/df), comparative fit index (CFI), goodness-of-fit index (GFI), and root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA). Internal consistency was estimated by the average variance extracted (AVE) and composite reliability (CR). The scores were dichotomized with the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval as the cutoff point. The three-dimensional model presented good quality parameters (X2 /df = 2.459; CFI = 0.988; TLI = 0.981) and poor RMSEA (0.078). Internal consistency was adequate; AVE for the Access, Understand/appraise, and Apply subscales were 0.831, 0.981, and 0.954 and the CR for these subscales were 0.893, 0.962, and 0.822, respectively. Inadequate literacy ranged from 41.8 to 48.1%. The three-dimensional model identified (access, understand/appraise, and apply) showed structural validity, good internal consistency, and understandability.

RESUMEN

Resumo Objetivo: descrever as prevalências de fatores de risco e de proteção para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) e testar associações desses fatores com sexo, idade e satisfação com o trabalho entre professores da educação básica. Métodos: estudo transversal analítico realizado em Montes Claros, MG, Brasil, em 2016. Amostra probabilística por conglomerados. Utilizou-se questionário autoaplicável e avaliações físicas. Estimaram-se razões de prevalências (RP) e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) pela Regressão de Poisson. Resultados: dos 745 participantes, 83% eram mulheres, 81% tinham até 49 anos e 60% estavam insatisfeitos com o trabalho. Houve maior prevalência de fumantes entre homens (RP: 2,33; IC95%: 1,13;4,81), bem como consumo abusivo de álcool (RP: 7,24; IC95%: 2,19;23,91), excesso de peso (RP:1,48; IC95%: 1,04;2,13), menor prevalência de sintomas depressivos (RP:0,93; IC95%: 0,88;0,98) e de estresse (RP:0,88; IC95%: 0,82;0,95). Professores mais velhos apresentaram menor prevalência de Burnout (RP:0,87; IC95%: 0,81;0,94) e maior prevalência de comportamentos de proteção, apesar de terem maior comprometimento da saúde física. Professores insatisfeitos apresentaram maior prevalência de sintomas depressivos (RP:2,52; IC95%: 1,61;3,93), estresse (RP:1,76; IC95%: 1,33;2,32) e Burnout (RP:9,20; IC95%: 4,46;18,99). Conclusões: tabagismo, etilismo, excesso de peso e comprometimento da saúde mental foram fatores de risco frequentes para DCNT entre professores. Observaram-se diferenças nas prevalências de fatores de risco e de proteção para DCNT segundo sexo, idade e satisfação com o trabalho.

Abstract Objective: to describe the prevalence of risk and protective factors for noncomunicable chronic diseases (NCD) and test the association of these factors with sex, age, and job satisfaction among public primary and secondary schools teachers. Methods: analytical cross-sectional study in Montes Claros, MG, Brazil, carried out in 2016. We applied the probability cluster sampling technique. We used a self-applicable questionnaire and physical evaluations. We estimated Prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI) using Poisson's regression. Results: of the 745 participants, 83% were women, 81% were 49 years old or younger, and 60% were unsatisfied with work. Smoking was more prevalent among men (PR: 2.33; 95%CI: 1.13;4.81), as well as alcohol abuse (PR: 7.24; 95%CI: 2.19;23.91), overweight (PR:1.48; 95%CI: 1.04;2.13), lower prevalence of depressive symptoms (PR: 0.93; 95%CI: 0.88;0.98) and stress (PR: 0.88; 95%CI: 0.82;0.95). Older teachers had a lower prevalence of burnout (PR: 0.87; 95%CI: 0.81;0.94) and a higher prevalence of protective behaviors, despite having a greater impairment of physical health. Unsatisfied teachers showed higher prevalence of depressive symptoms (PR: 2.52; 95%CI: 1.61;3.93), stress (PR: 1.76; 95%CI: 1.33;2.32), and burnout (PR: 9.20; 95%CI: 4.46;18.99). Conclusions: smoking, alcoholism, overweight, and mental health impairment were frequent risk factors for NCD among teachers. Differences were observed in the prevalence of risk and protection factors for NCD according to sex, age, and job satisfaction.

RESUMEN

RESUMO O Programa Saúde na Escola tem como meta a construção de escolas saudáveis. Estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa com intenção de identificar e compreender como se comportam, no esforço de integração, profissionais envolvidos no Programa Saúde na Escola, a partir de sua inserção nas atividades preconizadas. Após construção do modelo lógico do programa, foi realizado consenso com experts para elaboração de matriz de indicadores, originando roteiro semiestruturado. Foram realizadas 25 entrevistas, nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde e Escolas de Ensino Fundamental, além das Gerências Regionais da Saúde e da Educação. As práticas foram consideradas multissetoriais, sem soma de esforços e coparticipação efetiva, sendo planejadas por um único setor ou profissional; os gaps existentes são reconhecidos tanto quanto a importância do programa; as práticas acontecem com baixo vínculo entre equipes. A forma fragmentada de perceber os problemas dos escolares dificulta essa integração.

ABSTRACT The School Health Program aims to build healthy schools. This qualitative case study aimed to identify and understand how professionals involved in the School Health Program behave in the integration based on their inclusion in the recommended activities. The consensus was reached with experts to develop a matrix of indicators after building the Program's logical model, resulting in a semi-structured roadmap. Twenty-five interviews were held in the Basic Health Units, Elementary Schools, and the Regional Health and Education Administrations. The practices were multisectoral, with no combined efforts and effective co-participation, planned by a single sector or professional, the existing gaps are recognized as much as the importance of the program, and the practices are implemented with a low bond between teams. The fragmented perception of students' problems hinders this integration.

RESUMEN

Resumo Avaliar por meio de uma revisão de escopo estudos que abordam a percepção e atitude do cirurgião-dentista diante do atendimento a mulheres em situação de violência. Utilizando os descritores women violence, dentist attendence ou dentist care, foram identificados 473 artigos, sendo incluídos 13, ao final da seleção. Embora a necessidade de capacitação tenha sido predominante, ela não é suficiente. Existe uma fragilidade em se compreender a violência como problema de saúde, de entender o papel do profissional na solução desse problema, os fatores que podem contribuir com seu crescimento ou seu controle. Os resultados revelaram que o cirurgião-dentista apresentou maior dificuldade do que os outros profissionais no enfrentamento e exigem um amplo aprendizado. O reconhecimento dos referidos casos pelo cirurgião-dentista exige a incorporação de medidas educativas que provoquem mudanças culturais, desconstrução de normas de gênero e a desnaturalização desse fenômeno social.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate, through a scope review, studies that address the perceptions and attitudes of dentists regarding the care of women in situations of violence. Using the descriptors women violence, dentist attendance or dentist care, 473 articles were identified, of which 13 were included at the end of the selection process. Although the need for training was predominant, it was not sufficient. There is a weakness in understanding violence as a health problem, in understanding the role of the professional in solving this problem, and the factors that can contribute to its growth or its control. The results revealed that the dentist had greater difficulty than other professionals in coping with the issue and required extensive training. The recognition of these cases of abuse by the dentist requires the incorporation of educational measures that cause cultural changes, deconstruction of gender norms and the denaturalization of this social phenomenon.

RESUMEN

Studies evaluating the factors associated with under reporting and with the recognition and reporting of child physical abuse are scarce and highly necessary. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of recognition and reporting of child physical abuse (CPA) by Brazilian dentistsin primary care and associated factors. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a representative sample of dentistsfrom the Family Health Strategy in Belo Horizonte. A self-administered questionnaire validated to Brazilian Portuguesewas used for data collection. Statistical analysis included univariate and multiple analyses through Poisson regression. A total of 181dentists participated in the study. Among them, 73 (40.3%) had already recognized some cases of CPA, but only 11 (6.1%) ended up reporting. Dentists with six to 19 years of experience as a municipal worker presented 2.38 times [PR = 2.38 (95%CI: 1.29-4.41)] more probability to recognize cases of CPA than the ones with less than six years. Having a graduate degree with a major in childcare [PR = 4.50 (95%CI: 1.08-18.68)] was associated with a larger number of reports. The employment duration as municipal worker was positively associated with the recognition of CPA cases and the prevalence of reporting was low.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Oral health research in children has focused both on identifying the risk factors for dental caries and on the impact the disease has on children's life. AIM: Identifying studies that used the salutogenic theory to investigate positive aspects to promote a healthy condition in preschool children. DESIGN: A literature scoping review was conducted to answer the question: 'What has been produced in scientific literature about children's oral health with a salutogenic theoretical reference?' The checklist preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was applied. The research was conducted on the databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science with no language, design, country or date restrictions. Three independent reviewers selected the studies to be included in the research, extracted data, and assessed the studies' contribution to the review. RESULTS: Among the 38 studies retained, 10 were included, those were published between 2009 and 2018: five in Brazil, two in the United States of America, and one in Canada, China and India, respectively. All articles were published in English language. Nine studies investigated the relation between the parents'/caretakers' sense of coherence and aspects related to the children's oral health condition. One study investigated health factors among the parents of caries-free children. CONCLUSION: Salutogenic orientation must be included in oral health research, so that salutary and risk factors may coexist, contributing to a new perspective for oral health promotion among children.

RESUMEN

Celebrating the 25 years of existence of the Journal Ciência & Saúde Coletiva (C&SC), this paper analyzed 375 documents published between 2000-2019 as an integral part of the editorial of collective oral health. The production analysis aimed to understand how oral health core appears in publications and how it could have contributed to knowledge on the population's health-disease, specific public policies, education, and management of oral health services in the SUS. The process employed bibliometric and documental analysis. We could show the authors' territorial distribution, their extensive collaboration network, and the dimension of citations in publications, including the international plan. The Brazilian states most present in the publications were São Paulo and Minas Gerais, followed by authors from Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina. Citations were more frequent in Brazil (85.14%), followed by the United States (2.31%), Portugal (1.34%), and Australia (1.34%). We concluded that, despite the limitations, the C&SC showed unequivocally a powerful instrument for the dissemination of scientific production from the perspective of collective oral health, enabling the exchange of information and facilitating the integration between researchers and enabling a path to its consolidation.

RESUMEN

The scope of this paper was to investigate the relationship between Arterial Hypertension (AH) and the occupational profile of teachers of basic public education and present a theoretical model. A probabilistic sample was adopted by clusters, with AH as the dependent variable. The independent variables were grouped in thematic blocks (Sociodemographic Characteristics, Occupational Profile, Behaviors and Health Outcomes) that composed the theoretical model. The analyses were corrected by the sample design. Hierarchical logistic regression was conducted. The prevalence of AH was 25%, and 58% reported dissatisfaction with the work. There was a higher probability of AH among older teachers (OR = 3.7), without postgraduate qualification (OR = 1.4), who also worked in the private network (OR = 2.6), who had a higher salt intake (OR = 1.7), with a high waist-hip ratio (OR = 1.9) and hypercholesterolemia / hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 1, 5) and a lower chance among females (OR = 0.5), who had other work activity (OR = 0.6) and were dissatisfied with the work (OR = 0.6). Thus, the occupational profile of teachers had an influence on AH. The relationship between work and teacher health demands attention and care, with measures that preserve and promote the health and well-being of teachers.

Objetivou-se investigar a relação entre Hipertensão Arterial (HA) e perfil ocupacional de docentes da educação básica pública e apresentar modelo teórico. Adotou-se amostra probabilística por conglomerados. A HA foi a variável dependente. As variáveis independentes foram agrupadas em blocos temáticos (Características Sociodemográficas, Perfil Ocupacional, Comportamentos e Desfechos em Saúde), que compuseram o modelo teórico. As análises foram corrigidas pelo desenho amostral. Foi conduzida regressão logística hierarquizada. A prevalência de HA foi de 25%, enquanto que 58% apresentaram insatisfação com o trabalho. Houve maior chance de HA entre os docentes mais velhos (OR = 3,7), sem pós-graduação (OR = 1,4), que atuavam também na rede privada (OR = 2,6), que apresentavam maior consumo de sal (OR = 1,7), com sobrepeso (OR = 2,1) / obesidade (OR = 7,2), com relação cintura-quadril elevada (OR = 1,9) e com hipercolesterolemia/hipertrigliceridemia (OR = 1,5) e menor chance entre os do sexo feminino (OR = 0,5), que exerciam outra atividade de trabalho (OR = 0,6) e insatisfeitos com o trabalho (OR = 0,6). Assim, o perfil ocupacional docente apresentou influência sobre a HA. A relação trabalho e saúde docente carece de atenção e cuidado, com adoção de medidas que preservem e promovam sua saúde e seu bem-estar.

RESUMEN

(1) Objective: To understand the perception of Brazilian children about the Quality of Life (QoL) considering their living environment. (2) Methods: This is a qualitative study conducted with children aged 6-10 years, from a medium-sized Brazilian municipality, recruited from public and private schools. An adaptation of the "draw, write, and say" method was used to collect data. At first, all children (n = 252) drew a "neighborhood with QoL". On the same day, the researcher analyzed the graphic elements of the representations and intentionally selected the two best-detailed drawings from each class (n = 49) and the children were invited to narrate them. The narratives were analyzed through content analysis. (3) Results: Two major themes emerged from the content analysis, namely, the physical environment and social environment. The first included the needs to live in a community, such as housing, places of leisure, essential services, and natural elements. The second was relationships with family and friends. (4) Conclusion: The children presented the meaning of an environment with QoL, pointing out essential items to have this ideal environment. The social environment and the physical environment were perceived interdependently; that is, any change in one of these aspects may affect children's QoL.

RESUMEN

This study evaluated whether the use of dental services of the Unified Health System (SUS) by elderly Brazilians is equitable. Individual data collected by qualified professionals during the national oral health survey (2010) and contextual data from DATASUS and IBGE were used. The dependent variable was the type of service used: SUS and others. Multilevel analyses were conducted using logistic regression (α=5%) (OR/CI 95%) using SPSS 24.0. A total of 6,303 elderly people were included and the prevalence of dental service use in SUS was 30%. Associated contextual factors were: access to bathroom and running water (1.54/1.19-2.00) and the dental care index (1.41/1.10-1.81); the individual factors were: age (0.77/0.66-0.90), years of schooling (1.83/1.53-2.20), family income (2.57/2.20-3.01), reason for last dental visit (0.75/0.60-0.93), decayed teeth total (1.26/1.08-1.48), plugged teeth total (0.63/0.54-0.74), dental prosthesis use (2.23/1.91-2.59), dental pain (1.36/1.11-1.67), self-perception of the need for dental treatment (1.20/1.12-1.51) and need for dental prosthesis (1.38/1.20-1.59). Dental service from SUS has been equitable, however it is necessary to organize the working process, enabling its use in a regular and preventive manner, thereby seeking universality and comprehensiveness.

Utilizaram-se dados individuais de exames conduzidos por profissionais calibrados do levantamento nacional de saúde bucal (2010) e dados contextuais originários do DATASUS e do IBGE. A variável dependente foi o tipo de serviço utilizado: SUS e Outros. Foram conduzidas análises multiníveis através de regressão logística (α = 5%) (OR/IC 95%), através do SPSS 24.0. Participaram 6.303 idosos, a prevalência do uso no SUS foi de 30%, os fatores contextuais associados foram o acesso a banheiro e a água encanada (1,54/1,19-2,00) e o índice de cuidados odontológicos (1,41/1,10-1,81); já os individuais: idade (0,77/0,66-0,90), anos de estudo (1,83/1,53-2,20), renda familiar (2,57/2,20-3,01), motivo da última consulta (0,75/0,60-0,93), no de dentes cariados (1,26/1,08-1,48), no de dentes obturados (0,63/0,54-0,74), uso de próteses (2,23/1,91-2,59), dor de dente (1,36/1.11-1,67), autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento odontológico (1,20/1,12-1,51) e da necessidade de próteses (1,38/1,20-159). O uso no SUS tem sido equânime, porém é preciso organizar o processo de trabalho, viabilizando tal uso de forma regular e preventiva buscando a universalidade e a integralidade.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND/AIM: A large proportion of interpersonal violence results in maxillofacial injuries. The monitoring of maxillofacial injuries in the context of gender violence has been little explored. The aim of this study was to analyze trends in cases of maxillofacial injuries resulting from interpersonal physical violence considering the gender of the victim and perpetrator. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A time-series study was conducted. Data regarding maxillofacial injury cases due to interpersonal physical violence were collected from reports at a forensic institute of a city in northeastern Brazil, between 2008 and 2014 (84 months). Rates of interpersonal physical violence per 100 000 inhabitants were determined for each gender. A negative binomial regression model was used to evaluate trends. The cycle plot was used to investigate the occurrence of seasonality, considering subseries for each month. RESULTS: A total of 3561 reports were analyzed, revealing higher rates of female victims and male perpetrators throughout the series. There was no indication of seasonality. The annual percentage of injuries involving male victims reduced significantly by 6.8% (P < .001), while injuries involving female victims increased significantly by 4.5% (P = .002). Regarding perpetrators, rates remained constant over time, following the same pattern for both genders. CONCLUSIONS: The data demonstrate greater victimization involving maxillofacial injuries against women perpetrated more often by men, with a trend toward an increase in female victims and a reduction in male victims.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the occurrence of violence in the elderly and its associated factors in the city of Betim, Minas Gerais. METHOD: cross-sectional study constituted by a population survey conducted through structured interviews. The sample was stratified by clusters and included 178 elderly people at the end. Data were analyzed by the chi-square test and was performed a Correspondence Analysis. RESULTS: The most prevalent forms of violence were: lack of access to social rights (31%), verbal violence (22%), moral/psychological (19%), lack of care (16%), physical violence (6%), sexual (3%) and discrimination (3%). Women suffered more abuse than men and violence had greater association with the degree of depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION: our research has direct implication for the sectors interested in coping with violence in the elderly, especially for nurses, because it shows violence is part of a cycle with characteristic associated factors that conforms a model nested mainly in the family relationship.
