Abstract

Problem: urinary tract infections are one of the main conditions that occur in the pregnancy period, causing important maternal-fetal complications that can lead to death. Aims: to implement an educational booklet on the prevention of urinary tract infections in a group of pregnant women and analyze the nursing problems related to the occurrence of this disease. Method: a descriptive, qualitative study with fifteen pregnant women at a Family Health Unit in Petrópolis, RJ, Brazil in April, 2015. Data was collected through interviews - individual and group - and was analyzed using the data triangulation technique. Results: the application of the booklet revealed nursing problems related to hygiene, food, water intake, intestinal and urinary elimination and coitus. Conclusion: the use of printed technology is an important tool for discussion and learning in the health education process, and it can be used to qualify the nurses' care practice.

Fatores de risco associados à Infecção do Trato Urinário (ITU) em mulheres: uma revisão integrativa de literatura

“…A infecção do trato urinário (ITU) é definida pela invasão, colonização e multiplicação de microorganismos no sistema urinário, o que causa uma inflamação local (Fioravante et al, 2017). Tal quadro pode manifestar-se tanto de forma assintomática, quanto sintomática.…”

“…Nesse sentido, após as evacuações, o ideal é que a higiene íntima seja realizada com o papel higiênico no sentido ântero-posterior ou com água e sabão. Entretanto, o excesso de limpeza em mulheres, possivelmente, torna-se prejudicial, dado que pode alterar o pH da área genital, favorecendo a invasão bacteriana no trato urinário (Fioravante et al, 2017).…”

The present study emphasized the role of family, especially the husband, in maintaining sexual health (as informal abstract norms) to prevent UTI in pregnancy (13,23,24).…”

The Effect of Theory of Planned Behavior-Based Education in Adopting the Urinary Tract Infection Prevention Behavior in Pregnant Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…This theory is applicable to predict and understand behaviors. According to this theory, the behavioral intention is the most important determinant of behavior; and other main constructs of this theory (attitude, Subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) affect this theory in special ways (26).…”
