Analisa-se as potencialidades de ‘Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher’ (AISM), tal qual propõem o PAISM (Programa de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher) e a PNAISM (Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde das Mulheres). Estes documentos sinalizam mudanças na atenção à saúde da mulher e direcionam ações preferencialmente na Atenção Básica (AB) para fortalecer este nível de atenção. A idéia de AISM envolve um olhar frente à mulher como um sujeito integral, sob a perspectiva da cidadania, garantindo-lhe seus direitos e promovendo sua autonomia. A AISM, assim como a noção de integralidade, necessita da integração em rede de todos os níveis de serviços do SUS, bem como medidas e ações intersetoriais (entre o setor saúde e outros setores governamentais e não governamentais), de modo que sejam criadas condições básicas para melhorar os níveis de vida e saúde da população. Aqui foram relatados os passos percorridos durante a pesquisa e as reflexões decorrentes desta, sinalizando que a idéia de AISM não se traduz nas práticas e discursos cotidianos, na sistemática de integração dos serviços de saúde, nem mesmo na intersetorialidade – aspectos constituintes da noção de integralidade, que se encontra articulada à idéia de AISM. Os limites referem-se às debilidades do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) na organização da AB de Salvador, à falta de medidas de capacitação profissional e dificuldade das profissionais em incorporar nova perspectiva baseada no enfoque de gênero, reorientando o olhar sobre as mulheres. Ao mesmo tempo aponto o empenho com o qual as profissionais procuravam executar suas atividades para a consolidação de vínculos e promoção da saúde da população, apesar dos limites observados (internos e externos). / Salvador

The purpose of the study was to determine if mothers who breast-feed their babies for nine months and longer experience problems when weaning. This research also determines the type of problems and weaning practices used by those mothers. In this descriptive study, data was collected from 150 mothers by means of questionnaires and interviews. The subjects were mothers who breast-fed their children for nine months or longer, who attended antenatal and postnatal clinics at Coronation Hospital. Reasons for weaning were inter alia the belief that the baby was old enough to be weaned. The results revealed that 42 (31,34%) of the respondents experienced problems during weaning. The problems included, among others, guilt feelings in the mother. Mothers use harsh methods of weaning such as sending a child away to a relative. There is minimal involvement of health workers in the health education of mothers on weaning. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)

For the collection of the data, it was used a semistructured interview. The data were analyzed according to the proposed of Thematic Analysis, and resulted in the definition of five categories: The work of the nurses with women of Family Health; Technologies used by nurses at work; The organization of work with the women; Difficulties and facilities experienced by nurses at work with the women; and The suggestions of the nurses to improve the work with the women at Strategy Family Health. From the analysis of the data, it was possible to notice that the work of nurses with the women is performed based on standards and protocols established by the Ministry of Health, with the purpose of promotion, prevention and control of the disorders in health. Thus, the assistance work to the women requires an involvement of all professionals of the Family Health Team, as well as a management mobilization to enable the idealization of new actions and quality services to users of the Unified Health System. / Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, que teve como objetivos: conhecer o trabalho dos enfermeiros com mulheres nas Unidades de Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) do município de Santa Maria/RS, identificar as facilidades e dificuldades do trabalho dos enfermeiros com mulheres nas Unidades de ESF e identificar as estratégias utilizadas pelos enfermeiros no trabalho com mulheres nas Unidades de ESF. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram doze enfermeiros que trabalham nas Unidades de Estratégia Saúde da Família do município de Santa Maria/RS, entre maio e julho de 2013. Para a coleta dos dados, utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados segundo a proposta de Análise Temática, e resultaram na definição de cinco categorias: O trabalho dos enfermeiros com mulheres da Saúde da Família; Tecnologias utilizadas pelo enfermeiro no trabalho; A organização do trabalho com as mulheres; Dificuldades e facilidades vivenciadas pelo enfermeiro no trabalho com as mulheres, e As sugestões dos enfermeiros para melhorar o trabalho com as mulheres na Estratégia Saúde da Família. A partir da análise dos dados, foi possível perceber que o trabalho dos enfermeiros com as mulheres é executado com base nas normas e protocolos estabelecidos pelo Ministério da Saúde, com propósito de promoção, prevenção e controle dos agravos em saúde. Desta forma, o trabalho de atendimento às mulheres requer um envolvimento de todos os profissionais da Equipe de Saúde da Família, como também de uma mobilização da gestão para viabilizar a idealização de novas ações e serviços de qualidade às usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde.

A nutrition education program for employed women on maintaining a healthy weight was developed and evaluated. Delivery of eight messages (two per week for four weeks) by electronic mail was tested for effectiveness. The subjects were 243 members of the Oregon State University Office and Personnel Association who were randomly assigned to three experimental groups. Group #1 received hard copies of the messages, group #2 received hard copies along with a weekly electronic tip on weight management, and group #3 received the messages by electronic mail (e-mail). An evaluation survey was developed to assess: 1) Participants' stage of change regarding fat in the diet, 2) Participants' social support network for weight maintenance, 3) Reactions to the program, 4) Impact of the program on positive behavior regarding weight control, and 5) Demographics. The survey was sent by campus mail about three weeks after the program. The evaluation was completed by 80.2% of participants. The nine male respondents and the two gender-unidentified respondents were not included in the data analysis to assure a total female population. A total of 181 surveys were analyzed (74.5%). The mean age of female respondents was 47.8 ± 13.3. Although it was hypothesized that electronic delivery of the program and/or supplementing the hard copy/print program with brief electronic tips would be associated with higher order stages of change (Transtheoretical Model), the results from this study did not support the hypotheses. There was no significant difference in stage of change among participants in the three modes of delivery. The messages appeared to have the greatest impact on women in the action and preparation stages. They tended to make more positive changes (i.e. reading food labels) than women in the maintenance, contemplation, and precontemplation stages. Mode of delivery did not appear to make a difference in whether the women looked forward to the messages, reactions to message length, how many were read, or the resulting knowledge or behavior change. Therefore, it may not be critical to program effectiveness. Women in the electronic group, however, were more certain that they received all eight messages and were more apt to ask questions of the researcher. The potential cost savings, convenience, and ease of quick communication make it a more attractive option. Access to the technology and participant preference are equally important factors. / Graduation date: 1997

Whithin the recent human centered development approach, the mission of development&#039 / s declared aims are alleviating poverty, increasing choices by reducing &#039 / risks&#039 / and empowering women. In line with the human development framework, Reproductive Health program aims at improving women&#039 / s health, enlarging women&#039 / s chices and engendering reproductive rights. The scope of &#039 / empowerment&#039 / is conceptualized as strenthening their capabilities to prevent sexual reproductive health risks, thereby enlarging their reproductive choices whithout reflecting on the role of general political economic structures. this thesis argues that while general health indicators and life choices and rights of poor women are decreasing due to neoliberal shrinkage of social policy and flexible working regimes, the sole focus on reproductive health and rights by development agents is irrelevant. In line with this argument, this study draws upon post-development theory in order to argue that development is a historically specific representation of social reality which permits particular modes of knowing while disqualifying others for perpetuating gobal hegemonic regimes.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A Rede Cegonha foi uma iniciativa pública governamental instituída em 2011 com o foco na atenção à saúde materna e infantil. Surgiu enquanto uma promessa de campanha e foi constituída oficialmente no mandato de Dilma Rousseff que a caracterizaria como uma corrente de cuidados especiais. O processo de constituição desta agenda política foi perpassado por controvérsias que evidenciavam diferenças sobre o que seria uma agenda pública de saúde voltada para as mulheres, além de divergências sobre o como se construir uma política de saúde na área da mulher. Assim, em torno destas controvérsias a própria concepção de saúde da mulher e saúde reprodutiva estavam em debate. A perspectiva de configuração da política é compreendida dinamicamente, desnaturalizando a própria concepção de Estado, abandonando o pressuposto de sua universalidade. Assim, observar a dinâmica de constituição da Rede Cegonha, entendendo-a enquanto um processo aberto. De outro modo, as controvérsias também funcionaram como uma entrada no estudo da própria política, funcionando como um forjar estranho. Os adversários contribuem para a desconstrução de verdades, assim, práticas e crenças são colocadas em análise. Para esta finalidade alguns procedimentos metodológicos foram escolhidos. O primeiro deles foi a pesquisa em dois blogs que se destacaram por acolher e divulgar opiniões sobre a Rede Cegonha. Também foram realizadas entrevistas a atores-chave e realizada leituras de documentos oficiais da política. A trajetória de constituição da política é narrada em dois pontos. O primeiro construído a partir da fala daqueles que contribuíram na sua formulação e/ou execução da política. O segundo a partir de uma fala que a confronta. Ambas apresentações serão cotejadas pelos documentos públicos oficiais. O processo de constituição da Rede Cegonha foi perpassado por controvérsias sobre diferentes concepções de políticas de saúde reprodutiva. Novos sujeitos políticos se articularam a partir destas controvérsias, tal seja, movimentos pro-vida, movimentos pela humanização do parto, blogueiras maternistas, movimentos feministas se posicionaram neste processo. / Rede Cegonha was a government public initiative established in 2011 with the focus on attention to maternal and child health. Emerged as a campaign promise and was officially incorporated in the Rousseffs mandate that would characterize as "stream of special care". The process of formation of this policy agenda was permeated by controversies which exhibited differences on what would be a public health agenda focused on women, as well as disagreements over how to make health policy in the area of women. Thus, these controversies surrounding the conception of women's health and reproductive health were debated. The prospect of policy configuration is dynamically understood, by denaturalizing the concept of the State, abandoning the assumption of universality of the State. Thus observe the dynamics of constitution of Rede Cegonha, understanding it as an open process . On the other hand, disputes also functioned as an entry in the study of politics itself, acting as a forge " weird." Opponents contribute to the deconstruction of truths , thus practices and beliefs are put into analysis. For this purpose some methodological procedures were chosen . The first was the research on two blogs that stood out to welcome and disseminate opinions about Rede Cegonha. Interviews were also carried out to key stakeholders and held readings of official policy documents. The trajectory this policy is told in two points. The first was constructed from the speech of those who contributed to its formulation and or implementation of policy. The second from a speech that confronts. Both presentations will be complemented by the official public documents. The process of establishment of the Rede Cegonha was permeated by controversies about different conceptions of reproductive health policies. New political subjects were articulated from these controversies, this is, pro-life movements, movements for the humanization of birth, Mom Bloguers, feminist movements have positioned themselves in the process.
