RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar o nível de conhecimento do público-alvo acerca do período do climatério e menopausa. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de caráter descritivo exploratório, de natureza qualitativa com 189 pacientes do sexo feminino maiores de 18 anos, por uma abordagem direta feita com a aplicação de um questionário com cinco questões sobre o conhecimento geral acerca da menopausa e climatério, aplicado no pré-atendimento de uma Unidade de Saúde. Os dados obtidos foram analisados pelo Microsoft Excel. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do Centro Universitário São Lucas. Resultados: A amostra teve em sua maioria ensino médio completo (62,4%). Do total, 29,1% compreendiam o significado de pré-menopausa. Entretanto, em relação à menopausa, 65,5% sabiam a terminologia. Quanto à diferença entre as duas fases, somente 5,3% conheciam, em contraste com 94,7% que desconheciam. Quando questionadas sobre os sintomas, 80,4% souberam descrevê-los e 47,6% citaram medidas para alívio, por fim, 69,8% relataram dúvidas. Conclusão: A população estudada apresenta elevado nível de conhecimento acerca da menopausa e climatério, porém, com relação aos tratamentos disponíveis, esse é escasso. Sendo assim, fundamental a execução de políticas públicas que objetivam melhorar a qualidade de vida do público-alvo.
BACKGROUND: Burnout syndrome consists of a group of psychological symptoms due to chronic exposure to stressors in the workplace, which increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVES: To identify the prevalence of burnout, and the possible associated risk factors, among physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic in Porto Velho-RO, Brazil. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study carried out through the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) answered by physicians who signed the informed consent form, between August 2021 and May 2022. RESULTS: The prevalence of burnout in this study was 77.5% (107/138), with 43.48% (60/138) with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Statistical tests were carried out and suggested being female, being under 30 years of age, being single, and working on the frontline as risk factors for burnout. While having children and being married are possible protective factors. CONCLUSIONS: High levels of burnout syndrome were evidenced in the research participants. This study highlights correlated risk factors, with its results being consistent with the literature.
Objetivo: Avaliar o uso de psicoestimulantes entre acadêmicos de medicina em uma instituição de ensino superior na Amazônia Ocidental. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de caráter descritivo, exploratório, transversal e de abordagem quantitativa, realizado com 265 estudantes do primeiro ao sexto ano, maiores de 18 anos, por meio do preenchimento de questionários abrangendo questões relacionadas ao uso de psicoestimulantes. Os dados obtidos foram analisados com o auxílio do programa Microsoft Office Excel. Resultados: Segundo a amostra, 66,4% eram do sexo feminino e 33,5% do masculino. A idade média foi de 19 a 23 anos. No que tange ao uso de psicoativo, 65,2% afirmaram fazer uso de algum psicoestimulante, sendo que, 45,6% relataram regular ingestão e 19,6% informaram utilizar apenas no período avaliativo. Entre os principais motivos citados para o consumo foram: 57,7% devido a rotina e 24,1% pelo aumento da capacidade cognitiva. Mais de 57% consideram o uso de psicoestimulantes com melhora na rotina acadêmica, além de ajudar no aumento da capacidade cognitiva e compensar a privação do sono. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o uso de psicoativos se apresenta frequente na rotina dos acadêmicos de medicina, principalmente no período de provas.
INTRODUCTION: Burnout syndrome (BS) occurs due to chronic exposure to stressors in the workplace. In addition to the stressful conditions to which doctors are exposed under usual situations, the COVID-19 pandemic has added greater pressure to the reality of these professionals. OBJECTIVES: to identify the frequency of BS, and the possible associated risk factors, among physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic in Porto Velho-RO, Brazil. METHODOLOGY: it is a cross-sectional study carried out through a questionnaire answered by physicians who signed the Informed Consent. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used as a basis. RESULTS: The prevalence of BS in this study was 77.5% (107/138), with 43.48% (60/138) with BS in the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions, 29% (40/138) with emotional exhaustion alone, and 5.1% (7/138) only with depersonalization. The prevalence of low personal accomplishment was 17.4% (24/138), between these 95.8% (23/24) had BS. Statistical tests were carried out and suggest that being female, being under 30 years of age, having less than 5 years of working experience, being single, moving away from family during the pandemic, working or have worked on the frontline are risk factors for BS. While having children, being married, and living with the family are possible protective factors. The number of hours worked between physicians with and without BS was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: High levels of Burnout Syndrome were evidenced in the research participants. This study highlights correlated risk factors, with its results being consistent with the literature.
