Objective: Describe the sociodemographic, clinical, and sexual profile, identify profile variables that affect the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), and evaluate the correlation between two HRQoL questionnaires used in a pelvic floor rehabilitation program. Method: This is an observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study, based on patient records and two questionnaires for HRQoL evaluation. Results: Women presented a mean age of 55.4 years; were married; white; had stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence (UI) of moderate to large urine release; and daily or diurnal UI. Only 50.5% had an active sex life and most had sexual complaints. The change in sexual activity and some types of UI affected the HRQoL. The two questionnaires presented a correlation. Conclusion: The profile and correlation between the questionnaires are consistent with the literature. The type of UI and changes in sexual activity affect the HRQoL.
Male urinary incontinence has been related to several factors, among which benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer treatment are highlighted. Urinary incontinence has negative effects on patients as well as on their relatives and caregivers. In the present study, an integrative review was performed with the purpose to identify the impact that urinary incontinence has on the lives of the patients' partners. The article survey was performed on the following databases: CINAHL, EMBASE, SCOPUS, MEDLINE, and PubMed. Articles were included if they were written in Portuguese, English or Spanish, and excluded if they did not mention the patients' wives. The final sample was comprised of 15 articles from seven countries. The articles were distributed into the following categories: Psychological Distress, Fatigue, Change in Sex Life, and Limitations on Social Life. The category Psychological Distress was present in all articles and was rated as having the most impact on these women's lives.
Resumo Objetivo Verificar a aprendizagem cognitiva de mães sobre os cuidados com seus filhos prematuros mediante atividade educativa com base em uma cartilha. Métodos Estudo de abordagem quantitativa e desenho quase-experimental de série temporal, realizado junto a mães de prematuros hospitalizados em duas unidades neonatais de um hospital de alta complexidade. Foram aplicados pré e pós-teste com os grupos controle e experimental com intervalo de dez dias entre as verificações de aprendizagem, analisando desempenho e comparando grupos com testes Wilcoxon e Mann-Whitney. A intervenção constou de atividade educativa com o uso de uma cartilha sobre cuidados ao bebê prematuro, enquanto o grupo controle participou de atividade tradicionalmente oferecida nas unidades neonatais do estudo, sem apoio da cartilha. A coleta de dados foi realizada no mês de outubro de 2016. Resultados Participaram do estudo 18 mães, sendo que oito foram alocadas por conveniência no grupo experimental e dez no grupo controle. Por meio da comparação entre grupos, houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,027) favorável à utilização da cartilha educativa em associação à educação em saúde para a aprendizagem das mães sobre os cuidados com o filho. Conclusão A cartilha educativa acerca dos cuidados com o bebê prematuro é um recurso que favorece a aprendizagem de mães no tema em questão. Assim, é uma tecnologia importante para a educação em saúde e favorece a construção do conhecimento, podendo ser utilizada nas unidades de saúde como disparador e suporte das discussões e troca de experiências.
