Souza, João Paulo Dias de 11 December 2004 (has links)
Orientadores: Jose Guilherme Cecatti, Mary Angela Parpinelli / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciencias Medicas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-04T02:12:51Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Souza_JoaoPauloDiasde_M.pdf: 201299 bytes, checksum: c4c09ce932de896dc48b404ffe7eba4a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004 / Resumo: Objetivos: Fazer uma ampla revisão da literatura internacional e nacional, compilando dados publicados sobre a ocorrência de morbidade materna grave (near miss) em diferentes contextos; analisar a ocorrência de near miss em uma maternidade brasileira de nível terciário, utilizando diferentes conjuntos de critérios; e caracterizar os determinantes primários da morbidade grave, sua demanda assistencial e o desfecho materno-fetal. Sujeitos e métodos: a revisão foi realizada a partir da busca eletrônica de artigos publicados e indexados nas bases bibliográficas MedLine e SciELO, além da busca manual em periódico brasileiro e na lista de referências bibliográficas dos artigos identificados pelos unitermos ¿maternal near miss¿. Os artigos foram qualitativamente avaliados pelo tipo de desenho de estudo, procedência, disponibilidade de dados originais e tipo de critério utilizado para a definição de near miss. Foi ainda realizado um estudo descritivo em um centro terciário de referência à saúde da mulher, entre 01 de julho de 2003 e 30 de junho de 2004. De 2.929 mulheres que tiveram parto na instituição, foram identificados os casos de morbidade grave segundo critérios propostos por Mantel e Waterstone, através de visita diária às instalações da maternidade. A revisão dos prontuários e a coleta dos dados de interesse foram realizadas no momento da alta hospitalar. As principais medidas de efeito estudadas foram: a ocorrência de near miss e seus fatores determinantes primários, critério de identificação como near miss, tempo total de permanência hospitalar, tempo de permanência em UTI e número e tipos de procedimentos especiais realizados. Resultados: Foram incluídos na revisão 33 estudos da literatura, com uma razão média de near miss de 7,5/1000 partos. No centro de referência foram identificados 124 casos de near miss, correspondente a uma razão de 42/1000 partos, e ocorreram dois óbitos maternos. Foram realizados 126 procedimentos especiais, 102 deles realizados em mulheres admitidas na UTI para suporte intensivo (80,9%). O número médio de procedimentos especiais por mulher foi de 1,04 (±1,91) e os mais freqüentes foram a instalação de acesso venoso central, a realização de ecocardiografia e a ventilação artificial invasiva. A média de permanência hospitalar foi de 10,3 dias (±13,24). O tempo de permanência hospitalar e o número de procedimentos especiais foram significativamente maiores quando utilizados os critérios de Mantel. Conclusões: A incidência de near miss tende a ser maior nos países em desenvolvimento e quando utilizada a definição de disfunção orgânica. A incidência de near miss foi elevada e os critérios propostos por Mantel permitiram a identificação de um subgrupo de mulheres com manejo clínico mais complexo, considerando-se o tempo de permanência hospitalar e a demanda por procedimentos especiais. Os determinantes primários de morbidade materna grave foram coincidentes com as principais causa básicas conhecidas de morte materna / Abstract: Objectives: to perform a wide review of the international and national literature and to combine reported data on the occurrence of severe maternal morbidity (near miss) in several contexts; to evaluate the occurrence of near-miss in a tertiary Brazilian maternity, using different sets of criteria, to identify their primary determinants, their demand for care and the maternal and fetal outcomes. Methods: the review was performed through an electronic search of the published articles indexed in the bibliographic databases of MedLine and SciELO, besides a manual search in Brazilian journal and in the list of references of the articles identified through the uniterms ¿maternal near miss¿. The articles were qualitatively evaluated according to their study design, local, availability of original data and kind of criteria used for the definition of near miss. A descriptive study was also performed at a tertiary referral center for the women¿s health, between 1st. July 2003 to 30th. June 2004. From the total of 2929 women who delivered at the institution during the period, the cases of maternal near miss morbidity were identified through a daily visit in the wards of the maternity according to the criteria proposed by Mantel and by Waterstone. At the moment of hospital discharge a review of the clinical records and data collection were performed. The main outcome measures studied were the occurrence of near miss and their primary determinant factors, criteria for identification as a near miss case, total time of hospital stay, time of stay in ICU and number and kind of special procedures performed. Results: thirty three studies were identified and evaluated as adequate for inclusion in the review and the mean near miss ratio was 7.5/1000 deliveries. A total of 124 cases of near-miss were identified in the referral center, corresponding to a ratio of 42/1000 deliveries, and there were two maternal deaths. For these cases, 126 special procedures were performed, 102 of them among women admitted in ICU for intensive care (80.9%). The mean number of special procedures by each woman was 1.04 (±1.91) and the most frequent were central venous access, echocardiography and invasive mechanical ventilation. The mean total time of hospital stay was 10.3 days (±13.24). The total time of hospital stay and the number of special procedures were significantly higher when the criteria of Mantel were used. Conclusions: there is a trend of higher incidence of near miss in developing countries and when using the definition of organ dysfunction. The incidence of near miss was high and the criteria proposed by Mantel allowed the identification of a sub-group of women with a more complex clinical management, considering the total time of hospital stay and the demand for special procedures. The primary determinants of severe maternal morbidity were coincident with the main known basic causes of maternal death / Mestrado / Tocoginecologia / Mestre em Tocoginecologia

\"Por um fio\": memórias e representações de mulheres que vivenciaram o near-miss materno / \"By a thread\": memories and representations of women who experienced a maternal near-miss

Aguiar, Claudia de Azevedo 21 June 2016 (has links)
Estima-se que aproximadamente 40 por cento das mulheres experimentam alguma forma de morbidade durante a gestação, parto ou puerpério. Algumas delas aproximam-se da morte - evento conhecido como near-miss materno. Vivenciar tal condição significa compartilhar fatores patológicos e circunstanciais diversos com mulheres que morrem por causas obstétricas. Assim, o relato da experiência de near-miss materno pode ajudar na compreensão dos eventos obstétricos graves, tal como a morte materna, evitável em quase 100 por cento dos casos. A experiência das pessoas é autêntica e representativa do todo por meio da construção de uma identidade comum. Esta identidade confere qualidade à memória de um grupo. Portanto, cada memória é um fenômeno social. Com isto, foram analisadas as experiências de doze mulheres que quase morreram em função do estado gravídico-puerperal, após seleção pela Internet e entrevistas presenciais. O método qualitativo utilizado foi o da História Oral de vida e o referencial teórico de análise baseou-se nos conceitos de Necessidades de Saúde e dos Direitos Humanos. Oito memórias coletivas compuseram os discursos: necessidades de saúde não atendidas; deficiências na assistência recebida; a assistência contribuindo com o quadro de near-miss; outras explicações para a vivência do near-miss; privação do contato com o filho; violação de direitos; ausência de reivindicação dos direitos; e caminhos percorridos para atenuar o sentimento de direitos e necessidades não atendidos. Em algumas memórias, a morbidade grave não permitiu que as necessidades de saúde das mães fossem atendidas. Noutras, o agravamento à saúde teria decorrido do não atendimento às suas necessidades. Em Saúde Materna, uma via comum de violação dos direitos humanos é transitada pelas práticas assistenciais. O uso de intervenções dolorosas, potencialmente arriscadas e sem uma indicação clínica justificável compuseram a maior parte das histórias narradas para esse estudo. Como consequência, mães e bebês tiveram sua condição de pessoa desrespeitada, bem como sua integridade física e emocional ameaçada. Compreender as necessidades de saúde dessas mulheres é reconhecê-las como sujeitos de direitos; é individualizar a assistência, respeitando sua autonomia, garantindo o pronto acesso às tecnologias, estabelecendo vínculo (a)efetivo com a equipe de saúde e preservando suas vidas. / It is estimated that approximately 40 per cent of women experience some form of morbidity during pregnancy, childbirth or the postpartum period. Some of these have even approached death - an event known as a maternal near-miss. To experience such a condition means sharing the pathological and environmental factors of women who died from obstetric causes. Thus, the accounting of maternal near-miss experiences can help in the understanding of severe obstetric events, such as maternal, preventable death in almost 100 per cent of cases. The experiences of the people involved are authentic and representative of all through the construction of a common identity. This identity confers quality to the memory of a group. Therefore, each memory is a social phenomenon. With this, the experiences of twelve women, who almost died due to pregnancy and childbirth problems, were analyzed after selection via Internet and in-person interviews. The qualitative method used was the oral life history and the theoretical analysis was based on the concepts of Health Needs and Human Rights. Eight collective memories composed of speeches: unmet health needs; deficiencies in care received; assistance contributing to the occurrence of the near-miss; other explanations for the experience of near-miss; deprivation of contact with the child; violation of rights; absence of rights of claim; and other paths taken to alleviate the sense of rights and needs not met. In some memories, severe morbidity prevented the health needs of mothers to be met. In some others, worsening health had elapsed due to not meeting their needs. In Maternal Health, a common way of human rights violation is transited through the care practices. The use of painful interventions, potentially risky and without a justifiable clinical indication composed most of the narrated stories of this study. As a result, mothers and babies had their personal condition disrespected as well as their physical and emotional integrity threatened. To understand the health needs of these women is to recognize them as subjects with rights; with individualized care, respecting their autonomy, ensuring ready access to technologies, establishing links (a)effective with the health team and preserving their lives.

Assessment of the barriers to the utilization of antenatal care services in Kazungula district, Zambia

Sakala, Morgan January 2011 (has links)
Magister Public Health - MPH / Globally, 1600 women and over 5000 newborn babies die daily of preventable causes and over 90% of these deaths occur in developing world. An estimated 358000 maternal deaths occurred worldwide in 2008 with developing countries accounting for 99%. In Zambia, maternal mortality ratio has been estimated to be 591 deaths per I 00,000 live births underscoring the great challenge posed by maternal and child health problems. At the same time, utilization of antenatal care services by pregnant women, supervision of deliveries by skilled person and postnatal care services is low in most regions of Zambia. Since professional attendance at delivery is assumed to reduce maternal and infant mortality, poor antenatal care (ANC) utilization may lead to increased infant and matern.al mortality and morbidity.This study sought to assess the barriers to utilization of antenatal care services in Kazungula district, Zambia. A qualitative exploratory study was used to uncover participants' experiences and perceptions on barriers to use of ANC.Focus group discussions were used to gather information from primegravidae and multigravidae not attending or irregularly attending ANC services and from traditional birth attendants. In-depth interviews were conducted with key informants namely the health centre in-charge and leader of safe motherhood support group.Data was analyzed through thematic content analysis. From the transcripts, patterns of experiences coming from direct quotes or through paraphrasing common ideas forming part of the themes were listed. Data from all the transcripts relating to the classified patterns were identified and placed under the relevant theme. Thereafter related patterns were combined and listed into sub-themes. The analysis involved drawing together and comparing discussions of similar themes and examining how these relate to the variations between individuals and groups that assisted in understanding the phenomenon of interests. The study revealed that utilization of ANC was impeded by multiple interrelated factors such as low socio economic and educational status of women, influence of the older generation, traditional and cultural practices. Previous negative experiences with health workers such as bad attitude of health workers and perceived poor quality of care were mentioned as factors that negatively affect utilization of ANC services. Other notable barriers were built in confidence resulting from previous safe deliveries, family size and competing priorities, fear of being tested for HJY and physical the accessibility.The study recommends that the district and its partners address the barriers if efforts in safe motherhood will yield meaningful impact. DHMT in the long term plan needs to train and deploy skilled personnel to rural health centres. They should have a deliberate policy on rural incentives to motivate trained staff to remote areas. More health posts need to be built as a way of taking health care services as close to the family as possible. In addition, for the short term plan there is need to provide inservice training for staff on safe motherhood and circulate guidelines. Orient staff on focused antenatal care (FANC).DHMT should ensure continuum of, care by supporting adequate supplies, equipment, drugs and transport to the health facilities.

Instituto Fernandes Figueira. Departamento de Ensino. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Saúde da Criança e da Mulher. Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. / Objetivo – Descrever o perfil epidemiológico das mulheres com condições potencialmente capazes de levar ao near miss (CPNM) e dos casos de near miss materno (NM). Identificar as principais causas de CPNM e NM, bem como analisar a trajetória de acesso à assistência percorrida por estas mulheres. Método - Estudo transversal descritivo realizado na maternidade do Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso (HFB) durante maio-outubro de 2009. Entre os partos ocorridos, foram identificadas as pacientes que CPNM e os casos de NM de acordo com os critérios propostos pela Organização Mundial de Saúde em 2009. Fonte de informação foram entrevistas com as mulheres com uso de questionários e dados dos prontuários. Características epidemiológicas, clínicas, sócio demográficas e a trajetória de acesso a assistência das pacientes destes dois grupos foram analisadas através de análise estatística descritiva. Foram estimados a razão de incidência NM e demais indicadores propostos pela OMS. Resultados – Foram observados 1107 partos com 1080 crianças nasceram vivas. As pacientes CPNM foram 109, destas 22(20,2%) foram NM. Ocorreram 7 mortes maternas (MM). A razão de incidência de near miss foi 20,37 casos por 1000 nascidos vivos (NV) e a razão de desfecho materno grave foi 26,85 por 1000 NV. O Índice de Mortalidade entre as mulheres com desfecho materno grave foi 24%. Dentre os critérios utilizados para identificação das pacientes CPNM, os relativos à gravidade do manejo foram os mais presentes. Para identificação do NM, os critérios clínicos estiveram presentes em 81,7% dos casos, os laboratoriais em 63,5% e os de manejo em 45,3%. A maior parte da amostra era composta por mulheres pardas e negras. Quanto à escolaridade, a maioria das pacientes tinha no máximo, o ensino fundamental completo. Entre as pacientes CPNM, 50,5% moravam em regiões com pouca infra-estrutura. A baixa renda familiar predominou nos dois grupos. Cerca de 30% das CPNM não fez pré-natal. A demora na tomada de decisão foi a principal causa apontada por elas para o atraso na busca de assistência. Dentre as pacientes, 47,7 % das pacientes CPNM e 68,2% das NM passaram por pelo menos uma unidade de atendimento antes do HFB. Apenas, 4,5 % foram transferidas com o uso de ambulância. Conclusões– A maioria das mulheres CPNM apresentavam nível sócioeconômico desfavorável. O acesso ao pré-natal foi inadequado. Metade delas teve que percorrer duas ou mais unidade para ter acesso à assistência médica. Esta peregrinação se deu por meios próprios. O monitoramento das condições potencialmente ameaçadoras propostos pela OMS pode contribuir para prevenção do near miss e de morte materna. / Objective – Describe the epidemiological profile of woman with potentially life-threatening conditions (PLNM) and the maternal near miss (NM) in a reference hospital. Describe the main causes of PLMN and NM, as well as analyze the profile and the trajectory of care for these women. Method - Cross sectional study in Bonsucesso Federal Hospital between mayoctober in 2009. The sample included patients with of potentially life-threatening conditions according to the criteria proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009. Information sources were interviews and medical records. Epidemiological, socio-demographic, clinical characteristics and the trajectory of care for patients were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. Materna Near Miss incidence Ratio and other WHO near-miss related indicators were analyzed. Results –It was observed 1107 childbirths and 1080 live born infants. 109 women were classified as PLNM and 22 as NM, accounting for 20.2% of PLNM. There were seven maternal deaths (MD). The rate of incidence of near miss was 20.37 cases per 1000 live births and severe maternal outcome ratio was 26.85 per 1000 live births. The mortality index was 24%. The indicators related to the severity of management were the most present in both situations. Between the criteria used to identify PLNM , management based-criteria was the most frequent. For NM, the clinical criteria were present in 81,7%, 63,5% in the laboratory and the management in 45,3%. Most of the sample was composed by black women. As for education, the majority of patients had elementary education level. Among patients at risk conditions, 50.5% lived in areas with little infrastructure. Low family income was predominant in both groups. About 30% of women have no prenatal assistance. The delay in decision-making was the most common cause of delay in hospital assistance. Among the patients, 47.7% and 68.2% of PLNM passed through at least one service unit before the HFB. Conclusions - Most women had CPNM had unfavorable socio-economic conditions. Access to prenatal care was inadequate. Half of women had to go through two or more unit to have access to medical assistance. The majority of pregnant women went to this hospital by their own. Monitoring potentially threatening conditions proposed by the WHO can contribute to prevention of near miss and maternal death.
