“…Quando questionadas sobre os possíveis sinais e sintomas do CCU, as mulheres atribuíram a estes: infecções, perda de peso, fadiga/cansaço e dor. Esses achados corroboram a literatura específica da área, que demonstra que as mulheres saudáveis atribuem mais sintomas à doença do que mulheres com CCU e com lesões precursoras (Castro, Aretz, Romeiro, Lawrenz, & Hass, 2013). Contudo, os sintomas têm início quando a lesão no colo do útero progride, ou seja, é invasiva.…”

“…Estudo realizado no Brasil comparou a percepção sobre o câncer de colo de útero em três grupos de mulheres: mulheres com CCU, mulheres com lesões precursoras da doença e mulheres sem lesões (Castro, Aretz, Romeiro, Lawrenz, & Hass, 2013). Os autores verificaram que, no que concerne à dimensão Identidade, as mulheres sadias percebiam o CCU como mais sintomático e mais cíclico do que as mulheres dos outros dois grupos.…”

O autocuidado para a prevenção do câncer de colo de útero está diretamente relacionado ao comportamento ativo da mulher para a realização dos exames preventivos que detectam precocemente a doença. Objetivo: testar um modelo preditivo do autocuidado, considerando percepção da doença e variáveis de comportamento sexual. Participaram 122 mulheres (M = 40,80 anos; DP = 12), usuárias de serviço público de saúde, do sul do Brasil. Instrumentos: ficha de dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, questionário de percepção da doença e questionário de autocuidado. Resultados: Análise de regressão revelou que o Controle do tratamento e a Idade da primeira relação sexual foram preditores de autocuidado (10,4% e 4,2% respectivamente). O modelo explicou 13,1% da variância do autocuidado. Conclusão: Mulheres que iniciaram a vida sexual mais tarde e com alta percepção de controle do tratamento apresentavam melhor autocuidado. Observa-se que aspectos psicológicos e comportamentais devem ser considerados no delineamento de ações orientadas para o controle da doença.

“…In addition, people create an action plan to combat the disease, and while it remains active, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment concerning the disease's progression takes place (Castro et al 2013, Leventhal et al 2016, Wilkinson et al 2009. Therefore, the perception of a disease's duration is another factor that can affect the number of known treatments (see, for example, Tanaka et al 2009).…”

Background: What factors influence the knowledge and learning of medicinal plants and biomedical drugs? We investigated this question in a context of intermedicality, exploring previous experiences and the duration of diseases at the individual, family, and community levels.Methods: We conducted our study in a rural community in Northeast Brazil. We use individual semi-structured interviews to gather information on people's knowledge and learning of medicinal plants and biomedical medications, as well as their prior experiences perceived with diseases at different levels (individual, family, community) and their duration perceived.Results: The knowledge of medicinal plants can be explained mainly by the previous experience of the disease in the community and the family. For medicinal plant learning in one year, only the previous experience in the community is relevant, but it had a negative influence. Regarding the knowledge of biomedical drugs, we observed positive influence of previous experiences in the family and community and negative influence of the diseases' duration. Finally, none of the predictor variables explained the learning of knowledge of drugs of biomedical origin.Conclusions: The present study suggests important mechanisms that regulate the knowledge and learning of new treatments (medicinal plants and medicines of biomedical origin) in medical systems.

A national cross-sectional study of adherence to timely mammography use in Malta

BackgroundRoutine mammography improves survival. To achieve health benefits, women must attend breast screening regularly at recommended time intervals. Maltese women are routinely invited to undergo mammography at three-year intervals at an organized breast screening programme (MBSP) or can opt to attend a private clinic. Previous research shows that health beliefs, particularly perceived barriers, were the most significant predictors of uptake to the first MBSP invitation. Whether these beliefs and other factors are predictive of adherence with recommended time intervals for mammography at organized or private screening in Malta is unknown. For the first time, this paper explores the predictors for Maltese women screened within or exceeding the recommended three-year frequency in organized or private screening in Malta.MethodsInformation was obtained from a cross-sectional survey of 404 women, aged 50 to 60 years at the time of their first MBSP invitation, where women’s characteristics, knowledge, health beliefs and illness perceptions were compared. The main variable of interest was women’s mammography attendance within a three-year interval (ADHERENT) or exceeding three years (NON-ADHERENT). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Mann Whitney test, Independent Samples t-test and Shapiro Wilk test.ResultsAt the time of the survey, 80.2% (n = 324) had been screened within three years (ADHERENT), 5.9% (n = 24) had exceeded the three-year frequency (NON-ADHERENT) while 13.9% (n = 56) never had a mammogram. No significant associations were found between ADHERENT or NON-ADHERENT women in relation to sociodemographic or health status variables (p > 0.05). Knowledge of screening frequency was significantly associated with women’s mammography adherence (χ2 = 5.5, p = 0.020). Health beliefs were the strongest significant predictors to describe the variance between ADHERENT and NON-ADHERENT screeners. When Mann Whitney test and Independent Samples t-test were applied on mammography adherence, perceived barriers and cues to action were found to be the most important predictors (p = 0.000, p = 0.039 respectively).ConclusionsTo increase routine and timely mammography practices, women who are non-adherent to recommended time frequency guidelines should be targeted, together with their health beliefs, predominantly perceived barriers and cues to action.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12885-018-4278-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
