Avaliar a assistência pré-natal ofertada às mulheres atendidas no Sistema Único de Saúde do Paraná de modo a contribuir na tomada de decisão de gestores. Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, realizado com gestantes que realizaram o acompanhamento pré-natal em serviços de saúde pública de uma região de saúde do estado do Paraná, no ano de 2018. Os dados foram coletados por meio de prontuário eletrônico e registros em planilhas dos gestores locais. Os resultados evidenciaram que das 89 gestantes que realizaram acompanhamento pré-natal, 84,3% foram captadas antes das 12 semanas, 55% foram classificadas como risco habitual. Das gestantes com risco intermediário e alto, 73,7% tiveram acesso ao serviço de atenção ambulatorial especializada. Entretanto, apenas 14,3% das gestantes tiveram registro de idade gestacional em todas as consultas, 34,8% registro de altura uterina após 12 semanas, 37,1% registro de peso e 52,8% receberam o plano de cuidados realizados por profissionais de saúde. Apesar da maioria das mulheres serem classificada como risco habitual, 61,1% teve a cesárea como via de parto. Conclui-se que a assistência pré-natal tem sido ofertada de forma satisfatória. Entretanto, faz-se necessário que os gestores proporcionem capacitações assertivas aos profissionais envolvidos, para implementação adequada do Modelo de Atenção às Condições Crônicas visando desfechos positivos do período gravídico-puerperal.
Objective: Neck circumference is a simple anthropometric measurement that may be linked to chronic diseases, physical activity, and muscle strength. We sought to verify the association of moderate and vigorous physical activity levels and relative muscle strength with neck circumference in a community in southern Brazil. Methods: We cross-sectionally analyzed data from 2,488 participants (51% women), aged 20-79 years old from the Study of Health in Pomerode (SHIP-Brazil) conducted in Pomerode, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Increased neck circumference was defined with cutoff points of >39cm for men and >35cm for women. The independent variables were the level of moderate and vigorous physical activity using the short International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and relative muscle strength using the handgrip test and body mass. Univariate and multiple Poisson regression models were used to determine the association between variables (p≤0.05). Results: The prevalence of increased neck circumference was 48.2% (60.4% in men, 39.6% in women) and was associated with low relative muscle strength (PR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.17-1.35) in men, insufficient moderate and vigorous physical activity levels (PR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.14-1.32), and relative muscle strength (PR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.61-1.87) in women. After adjusting for covariates, no significant associations were observed between insufficient moderate and vigorous physical activity levels in men (PR=1.02, 95%CI: 0.95-1.07). Conclusion: Increased neck circumference seems to be an important predictor of low moderate and vigorous physical activity and relative strength loss in adults, and more pronounced in women.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
