Assistance to women during the pregnancy-puerperal cycle and to children in the first year of life has been extensively studied, especially regarding its impact on maternal, perinatal and neonatal mortality. The assessment of the quality of health services can be carried out through effectiveness, effectiveness, efficiency, optimization, acceptability, legitimacy and equity and the structure-process-results triad. It is possible to consider the woman's pilgrimage as obstetric violence because it is directly related to her reproductive process and the annulment of her rights. This type of violence results from the precariousness of the health system, which considerably restricts access to the services offered. Therefore, it is concluded that women must receive quality care, in a humanized and individualized manner from prenatal care to the postpartum period, with clarification of doubts and the rights that are guaranteed to them in this regard, nursing professionals have fundamental role in developing discussions on the topic during prenatal consultations, as well as in the development of conversation circles, courses and booklets to better guide and provide quality care. Obstetric care in the maternal network is a critical aspect of ensuring the health and well-being of pregnant women before, during and after birth. This network comprises the provision of health services at different levels, from primary care to specialized obstetric care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To identify nursing practices aimed at women's health care within the scope of Primary Health Care (PHC), characterizing them by the way they occur and the place they occupy in the nurses' work process. Methods: This is a descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study. The material consists of 27 interviews with nurses carried out between November 2020 and March 2021. Results: Nursing actions aimed at women's health occupy a representative space in the nurses' routine. The main actions identified are aimed at maternal and child health. Family planning was also identified as a recurrent educational action. Assistance to violence and climacteric were not mentioned. The nurses' autonomy in the area of expertise in focus in this study was highlighted as positive in the work process. Conclusion: The practice of nurses in PHC privileges health in the reproductive cycle of women, especially in the prenatal period. However, referrals are observed in the search for an integral practice, through the inclusion of more humanized actions in the services. There is still a need to expand the focus of women's health care in PHC, and for that it is necessary to strengthen the discussions and studies on these neglected themes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To describe the trends in the frequency of obesity and its relationship with some socioeconomic factors in women of childbearing age in Peru. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study of secondary data, using the databases of the Encuesta Nacional Demográfica en Salud (ENDES) from 2005 to 2018. The frequency of women with obesity was estimated for each year and compared using the confidence intervals at 95% (95% CI). The magnitude of association was compared between place, age and parity, place of residence, level of education and wealth index. Results: An increase in obesity was observed in women of childbearing age from 17.72% (95% CI: 16.24-19.32) in 2005 to 32% (95% CI: 30.46-34.42) in 2018. The prevalence of type I obesity increased from 9.07% (95% CI 8.09-10.16) in 2005 to 22.15% (95% CI 15.19-16.48) in 2018. It was observed a continuous increase in the prevalence of type II obesity from 2.34% (95% CI 1.84-3.05) to 7.29% (95% CI 3.75-4.52). In women who were pregnant at the time of the interview, a prevalence of obesity was found to be 17.21% (95% CI 11.42-25.10) in 2005, reaching 38.61% (95% CI 20.25). -28.46) in 2018. A significant relationship was found between the possibility of being obese with age and parity. Conclusions: The prevalence of obesity in women of childbearing age in our country is high and continues to increase over time. The increased prevalence also occurs in pregnant women, increasing maternal-perinatal complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: la lactancia humana (LH) es un fenómeno biológico que consiste en la producción de leche por la glándula mamaria para ser proporcionada como alimento al bebé. Sin embargo, es también un proceso social que involucra las experiencias corporales de las mujeres, sus emociones y expectativas en torno a la crianza. Si amamantar se convierte en una obligación o en un mandato social vulnera el derecho de las mujeres a decidir libremente. Objetivo: se propuso identificar las representaciones sociales respecto a la LH en aquellas mujeres-madres que decidieron interrumpir la lactancia en la provincia de Córdoba. Metodología: se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo con un enfoque cuali-cuantitativo. El análisis cualitativo se abordó bajo la perspectiva metodológica de la fenomenología. Se realizaron encuestas semiestructuradas a mujeres-madres de la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. Resultados: se logró identificar las representaciones sociales en torno a la LH identificando códigos y valores, saberes y conocimientos asociados a la misma. A su vez este estudio permitió reconocer las características sociodemográficas y perinatales de la población en estudio. Conclusión: las representaciones sociales en relación a la lactancia materna, se conjugan de acuerdo a los contextos, experiencias y actores sociales que otorgan significado y determinan el mantenimiento o abandono de la lactancia.

Soy drinks are an increasingly consumed option within the western diet. However, there are concerns about potential endocrine disruptor effects and possible impact on women's reproductive health. This review evaluates scientific documents in gynecology and obstetrics under an evidence-based medicine approach. All methods adhered to PRISMA 2020 declaration guidelines. The evaluated studies do not support a positive association between soy intake and early puberty or breast cancer; instead, a protective effect against such neoplasm was observed. Transplacental passage of soy isoflavones and their presence in breast milk has been reported without any maternal-fetal complications nor congenital malformations. Exposure to soy-derived products appears to have a neutral effect on body weight and bone health. Studies performed in adults indicate that soy may promote a minimal increase in thyrotropin (TSH) in subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism. The impact of soy-based foods on gut microbiota appears favorable, especially when consuming fermented products. Many of the human studies have been conducted with isoflavones supplements, isolated or textured soy proteins. Therefore, the results and conclusions should be interpreted cautiously, as these are not entirely applicable to commercial soy beverages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to apprehend the social representations of obstetrical nurses regarding the care of parturient women in the maternity ward. Method: qualitative study, based on the Theory of Social Representations, according to Moscovici’s principles, carried out with nine obstetric nurses working in a public maternity ward in the Northeast Region of Brazil, from March to July 2020. Data were obtained through interviews, and then were organized and processed in the IRAMUTEQ software. Results: nurses represent parturient care from a functional dimension, expressed through technical and scientific knowledge and their attributions in terms of promotion, protection and rehabilitation of the individual, as well as from the perspective of the lived reality, the difficulties related to the structure and the work processes permeating the daily lives of obstetric nurses. Final considerations: nurses represent the nursing care of parturient women from a technical perspective, adding, however, elements of a scientific, humanistic and unique type of care, such as welcoming, presence, listening, respect and empathy.

Objective: to describe the epidemiological profile of women victims of violence in a municipality in the hinterland of Bahia. Method: descriptive cross-sectional study. The study population corresponded to all notifications of violence against women registered in the Notifiable Diseases Information System of Barreiras, Bahia, in the period from 2011 to 2021. The characteristics of the victim, the aggressor and the injury were analyzed, with calculation of the absolute and relative frequencies and 95% confidence interval. Results: a total of 2,846 cases of interpersonal/self-inflicted violence suffered by women were notified. The majority of women were between 20 and 59 years old (80.6%), black/brown (83.9%), had incomplete primary education (51.3%), had no disorders or disabilities (94.8%) and were victims of intimate partner violence (73.3%). There was a reduction in cases during the pandemic period (2020 and 2021). Regarding the outcome of care, only 35% of women who made compulsory notification in health services in the municipality were referred to other services in the network for dealing with violence. Conclusion: violence affects a significant number of women in Barreiras, which highlights the need to strengthen the network for dealing with and protecting victims of this evil.

Obstetric violence is considered a public health problem, with great social impact. This qualitative study sought to identify useful indicators in disseminating information to raise awareness among women about obstetric violence. Based on a documentary analysis of eight booklets released free of charge with the aim of preventing obstetric violence, Bardin's content analysis was carried out and three categories were arrived at: Conceptualization and Characterization of Obstetric Violence, Guidelines and Suggestions for Coping Strategies Obstetric Violence; and Aspects Related to Prevention by Different Audiences. The results showed that informative materials, in accessible language about humanized assistance, can be very effective in protecting women as pregnant, parturient or postpartum women. Strategic aspects of the booklets were discussed, such as guidance on complaints and other actions aimed at women's health, which can contribute to better perinatal care. Future studies were suggested in the scope of disseminating information aimed at safe birth and improving care, enhancing risk prevention and combating violent practices in the obstetric setting.

Aiming to investigate the effects of the restriction measures imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic on physical and mental health, nine adult women were interviewed according to an in-depth semi-structured script applied online. The content analysis of the interviews produced five thematic nuclei: 1) "Intensified feelings, emotions, and responses", portraying feelings and emotions resulting from the pandemic; 2) "Changing the work routine: work from home, "addressing the transition from face-to-face work to working remotely from home; 3) "Intensified relationships, "highlighting the effects on family relationships; 4) "Emotional eating, healthy eating, "revealing a reorganization of foodways; and 5) "Coping with the pandemic, "coping strategies were reported. The abrupt need to reorganize life, the fear of contamination and illness, and uncertainty about when the pandemic would end took a toll on the participants' psychological health. Exercising emerged as an essential strategy for maintaining mental health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Diseases often represent physiological changes that require immediate action depending on the severity. Faced with these changes, Andean women put into practice their ancestral knowledge and attitudes to find a solution, as they are the most immediate means at their disposal. Objective: To interpret the attitudes of Andean women in the province of Hualgayoc, Peru, towards using plants for treating some gynecological events. Materials and Methods: A qualitative, exploratory, hermeneutic phenomenological design study was conducted with 16 Andean women through a semi-structured interview based on an interview guide with optimal content validity. The results emerged from open, axial, and selective coding and were organized into subcategories and categories. Results: The categories obtained were favorable attitudes towards using plants and gynecological situations for using plants. The subcategories include satisfaction with the results achieved, safety to continue using plants, aptitude to advise on the use of plants, knowledge of plant's therapeutic effects, events for using plants, and methods of preparing them. Discussion: Several international studies converge on similar attitudes, manifested in greater trust in traditional medicine, favorable acceptance behavior, belief in its effects, a mental projection of getting well, and willingness to continue its use. Conclusion: The women were satisfied with the results obtained from the use of medicinal plants because they were beneficial, indigenous to their region, and did not involve any expense. The frequent use of plants was to alleviate pain during menstruation, vaginal infections, and labor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Considering that sexual dysfunction profoundly affects self-perception and quality of life, this study aims to understand the experience of living with vaginismus. This is an empirical, qualitative, exploratory research, in which nine women diagnosed with vaginismus at some point in their lives participated. Data were collected through individual semi-directed interviews and application of the drawing and story procedure with the theme "Vaginismus". In this paper, the analysis of the drawings and stories is highlighted due to the richness of this instrument. The material was interpreted together, enabling the construction of three thematic categories: "Representations: vaginismus as a protagonist", "The course and history of life: the different moments of vaginismus" and "Loneliness and relationships". The results pointed to different perceptions of vaginismus according to the time of treatment, highlighting the long duration of symptoms and the arduous process of living with this disorder.

Objetivo. Este estudio identifica y analiza el impacto de la reparación de la fístula en el restablecimiento de la dignidad de las mujeres y sus estrategias para afrontar dicha patología o los métodos de adaptación a la sociedad. El estudio es fundamental dados los efectos negativos de la fístula en la identidad de las mujeres y sus seres queridos. Materiales y métodos. La investigación se basó en un estudio de casos cualitativo que utilizó un muestreo intencional para seleccionar a las participantes de las entrevistas en profundidad con 7 mujeres (de entre 17 y 42 años). Los datos se agruparon en temas y se analizaron. El análisis temático identificó como temas principales: la experiencia negativa, el estigma y las estrategias de afrontamiento positivas que facilitan la adaptación adecuada. Discusión y conclusiones. El estigma social continúa incluso después de la intervención quirúrgica y es el principal reto con el que los participantes tienen que lidiar a diario, afectando al nivel de integración en la comunidad. También amenazó el grado en que las supervivientes de la fístula pueden ser percibidas y se perciben a sí mismas como «dignas». Las participantes se enfrentaron a problemas de salud mental como la ira, la tristeza, la depresión, la ansiedad, el estrés y la vergüenza. Sin embargo, los participantes reconocieron que, gracias al apoyo de la familia, los programas de empoderamiento y el apoyo de la comunidad, estaban volviendo poco a poco a su vida normal.

Objetivo. Identificar las acciones y experiencias de salud sexual y reproductiva (SSR) de mujeres migrantes latinoamericanas en la atención primaria de salud. Método. Se realiza revisión narrativa con búsqueda en las bases de datos Dialnet, Pubmed, CUIDEN, Redalyc, Scielo y BVS. Las palabras claves utilizadas fueron «Mujeres», «Migrantes», «Atención Primaria de Salud», «Salud Reproductiva» y «Salud Sexual», con los operadores boleanos «AND» y «OR». Se incluyen estudios que refieren la atención de mujeres migrantes latinoamericanas en el contexto de salud sexual y reproductiva, excluyendo estudios enfocados a la población pediátrica, adulto mayor y masculina. Resultados. Se incluyeron un total de 16 artículos. Del análisis se desprendieron cuatro categorías: acceso a la atención de salud; estrategias de salud pública en salud sexual y reproductiva; experiencias en salud sexual y reproductiva; percepciones de salud. Conclusiones. La salud sexual y reproductiva de las mujeres migrantes se encuentra influenciada por diversas variables, entre los que destacan factores socioculturales y factores asociados al acceso en atención de salud. Se observa un déficit de información sobre la salud sexual y reproductiva, por lo que existe el desafío de aumentar las investigaciones en este ámbito con tal de generar políticas y protocolos de cuidado que permitan mejorar y adaptar la atención en salud sexual y reproductiva.

The debate about the decriminalization of voluntary termination of pregnancy has been gaining strength in Latin America. The main arguments in favor of legalization revolve around women health and freedom issues. This study aimed to understand the experience of induced abortion based on the reports of women who terminated their pregnancies. It is a qualitative and interpretative study whose data was collected through open individual interviews and analysis based on the empirical-phenomenological proposal. Seven women between 25 and 56 years old participated and reported 11 miscarriages (ranging from one to three). The results show that the experience highlights the ambiguity of the human condition among the participants, evidenced by the criminalization of abortion, especially concerning the freedom to choose the loneliness imposed by clandestinity, and the restrictive symbolic condition of motherhood. Apparently, abortion was not necessarily traumatic and caused guilt and regret but was related to negative feelings due to criminalization and moral and social judgment. In this sense, it is up to the professionals working in the mental health area to take actions aimed at reducing these negative impacts that perpetuate suffering and embody "in pain and blood" the subjective production around motherhood and the desire to terminate the pregnancy.

Introduction: It is observed that black population is more vulnerable to some diseases due to genetic, environmental, economic and social issues. In the health of black women, the need for greater attention to the development of cervical cancer is evident. Objective: To identify the difficulties in preventing cervical cancer from the discourse of quilombola women. Method: Descriptive research with a qualitative approach, mediated by the action research methodology. It was carried out in the remaining quilombola community entitled Os Quarenta, located in the city of Triunfo, Paraíba, Brazil, in 2019. Results: In the participant's discourse two central ideas were noted about the problems or difficulties that prevent early diagnosis of cervical cancer: shame as an obstacle to the practice of preventive examination and self-negligence as a determining factor in the absence of demand for health services. Conclusions: It is noticed that when inserting health information, it is important to consider the social and cultural factors of the community in order to adapt practices according to representations on the subject.

Objective. To describe the perception of Venezuelan women regarding access to health care, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV/aids and syphilis in Brazil. Method. This is a descriptive, exploratory study employing a qualitative approach, performed from February to May 2021 in the municipalities of Manaus, state of Amazonas, and Boa Vista, state of Roraima. The interviews with participants were fully transcribed, with identification of themes based on content analysis. Results. Forty women were interviewed (20 in Manaus and 20 in Boa Vista). Following transcription and translation of the accounts, two analytical categories were identified: barriers to healthcare access, with four subcategories -- language, cost, adverse drug reactions, and COVID-19 pandemic; and facilitators of healthcare access, again with four subcategories -- Unified Health System (SUS), National Policy of Comprehensive Women's Health, National Social Assistance Policy, and relationship between healthcare professionals and SUS users. Conclusion. The results showed the need to design strategies to mitigate the difficulties faced by migrant women from Venezuela living in Brazil regarding the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/aids and syphilis, going beyond the healthcare support guaranteed by law.

Objective. To identify the perception of health managers regarding the actions taken and the challenges encountered in addressing HIV and syphilis in Venezuelan migrant women in Brazil. Method. This descriptive-exploratory study using a qualitative approach was conducted from January to March 2021 in the municipalities of Boa Vista (state of Roraima) and Manaus (state of Amazonas). Audio interviews with the participants were transcribed in full and examined using thematic content analysis. Results. Ten managers were interviewed (five in Boa Vista and five in Manaus). Content analysis identified the following domains and themes: available infrastructure for diagnosis and treatment of AIDS and syphilis -- access, availability of medical appointments /waiting list, training of health teams, and psychosocial support; challenges faced by Venezuelan women -- language, documentation issues, and frequent address changes; and strategies and actions adopted and expectations for addressing HIV/AIDS and syphilis in the context of migration. Conclusions. Despite the care provided to Venezuelan women in Brazil -- guaranteed by the universal nature of the Brazilian health system -- language and lack of documentation remain as barriers. Given the absence of action plans and future planning for the care of migrant women with HIV or syphilis in municipalities, it is important to develop public policies aimed at minimizing the difficulties faced by this population.
