RESUMO: Objetivos: Definir o perfil das vítimas de queimadura atendidas nos serviços de emergência e identificar possíveis associações entre as variáveis investigadas. Métodos: Estudo transversal com base nos dados do inquérito “Vigilância de Violências e Acidentes em Unidades Sentinelas de Urgência e Emergência”, de 2017. Procedeu-se à análise descritiva segundo características demográficas e aspectos relativos ao acidente por queimadura, bem como à técnica de análise de correspondência, que permitiu verificar possíveis associações entre as variáveis investigadas. Resultados: Os casos de queimadura foram mais frequentes: em adultos com idade entre 20 e 39 anos (40,7%); em homens (57%); no domicílio (67,7%); em decorrência do manuseio de substâncias quentes (52%). Acidentes no domicílio foram mais frequentes nas faixas etárias de 0 a 15 anos (92%) e idosos (84,4%) e em mulheres (81,6%). Acidentes no comércio, serviços e indústria acometeram indivíduos com idades entre 16 e 59 anos (73,6%). O encaminhamento para outros hospitais esteve associado aos casos ocorridos em idosos e a internação aos eventos que acometeram indivíduos na faixa de 0 a 15 anos de idade. Eventos na população em idade produtiva apresentaram associação com o uso de álcool e o local de trabalho. Entre as mulheres, sugere-se associação dos acidentes com o domicílio e substâncias quentes. Conclusão: Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de ações orientadas no campo da educação em saúde, bem como da regulamentação e da fiscalização trabalhistas.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of exposure to violence, characterizing its magnitude, types and occurrence in the adult population in Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study with data from the National Health Survey conducted in 2019. The prevalence of violence in the last 12 months and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were estimated according to sociodemographic variables. Crude prevalence ratios were estimated by Poisson regression. Results: The prevalence of exposure to violence among adults in Brazil was 18.3% (95%CI 17.8–18.8), with a significantly higher frequency among women (19.4%; 95%CI 18.7–20.0), in the 18–29 age group (27.0%; 95%CI 25.7–28.4), in self-declared black people (20.6%; 95%CI 19.3–21.9) and mixed race (19.3%; 95%CI 18.6–20.1) and among inhabitants of the Northeast region (18.7%; 95%CI 18.0–19.5). Among the victims of violence, 15.6% (95%CI 14.2–17.0) sought health care, of which (91.2%; 95%CI 88.1–93.6) were attended. The most reported types of violence were: psychological (17.4%; 95%CI 16.9–17.9), physical (4.1%; 95%CI 3.9–4.4) and sexual (0.8%; 95%CI 0.7–0.9). Men were more exposed to violence with the use of firearms or sharp targets, while women were the predominant victims for all other types and mechanisms of violence. The aggressor most cited was the intimate partner, the most frequent place of occurrence of violence being the residence and public streets/places. Conclusion: In Brazil, violence affected one in five adults. Women, young people and people with black skin were the population segments most exposed to violence, which should be a priority in prevention actions.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with intimate partner violence against adult women in Brazil. Methods: Quantitative cross-sectional epidemiological study using the database of the National Survey of Health 2019. The prevalence in the last 12 months and crude and adjusted prevalence ratios of intimate partner violence were calculated, stratified by sociodemographic characteristics. Results: Intimate partner violence was reported by 7.60% of Brazilian women aged from 18 to 59 years, with higher prevalence among younger women (8.96%), black women (9.05%), those with lower education level (8.55%) and low income (8.68%). After adjusted analysis, the age groups of 18–24 years old (PRadj: 1.41) and 25–39 years old (PRadj: 1.42) and income lower than one minimum wage (PRadj: 1.55) remained associated with intimate partner violence. Conclusions: Intimate partner violence was associated with younger and poorest women. This result points to the need to develop intersectoral policies, especially those aimed at reducing social inequalities and at the coping with intimate partner violence among adult women.
Resumo As Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis configuram importante problema de saúde pública no Brasil e no mundo. Visando conferir visibilidade às contribuições da revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva para a divulgação do conhecimento científico e o debate das questões relacionadas às Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis, o presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a produção científica publicada pela revista. Realizou-se um estudo bibliométrico das publicações veiculadas no período de 1996 a 2019, referentes a essas doenças. Com base em critérios de elegibilidade, selecionou-se um total de 458 publicações. Observou-se tendência temporal de aumento das publicações, coincidente com o estabelecimento de marcos político-institucionais no país. Destacaram-se os artigos quantitativos e os estudos sobre fatores de risco e proteção. Evidenciou-se a liderança das instituições públicas de ensino e pesquisa na produção científica sobre o tema e, também, no financiamento público dos estudos. Os autores que mais publicaram são majoritariamente do sexo feminino. A revista vem refletindo a magnitude e a prioridade da temática na agenda pública ao promover o debate e oportunizar a divulgação científica sobre as doenças crônicas.
Objective: To compare indicators of tobacco use, secondhand smoke, cessation and exposure to pro- and anti-tobacco media in 2013 and 2019, and to describe these indicators according to sociodemographic variables in 2019. Methods: Cross-sectional study with data from the National Health Survey. The indicators of use, secondhand smoke, cessation and exposure to tobacco-related media were evaluated. Prevalence and confidence intervals (95%CI) were estimated for the total population in 2013 and 2019 and according to sociodemographic variables for 2019. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to assess differences in prevalence. Results: There was an improvement in most of the indicators studied: an increase in ex-smokers, a reduction in secondhand smoke and attempts to quit smoking. All pro- and anti-tobacco media exposure indicators declined. When considering the prevalence according to sociodemographic characteristics in 2019, 43.8% (95%CI 41.6–46.0) of men tried to quit smoking, and 50.8% (95%CI 48.5–53.2) of women. Secondhand smoke at home was higher among women (10.2%; 95%CI 9.7–10.8). Among those who thought about quitting smoking because of warnings, the proportion was higher among women (48.0%; 95%CI 45.3–50.6). Tobacco use was higher among men (43.8%; 95%CI 41.6–46.0), in the population aged 40 to 59 years (14.9%; 95%CI 14.2–15.6), with a lower level of education (17.6%; 95%CI 16.8–18.4). Conclusion: The study showed improvement in tobacco-related indicators between the years studied. It is noteworthy that this advance was smaller in relation to the other periods previously analyzed, and therefore, greater investments in public policies to combat and control smoking in Brazil are necessary.
