Com as mudanças do papel social da mulher e sua inserção no mercado de trabalho, é necessário avaliar o potencial efeito das atividades laborais na determinação da prematuridade. Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre trabalho materno e parto prematuro espontâneo. Sujeitos e Métodos: Trata-se de uma análise secundária de dados do Estudo Multicêntrico de Investigação em Prematuridade no Brasil (EMIP), originada das respostas de um questionário que investigou fatores de risco para prematuridade. Nesta análise foram incluídos 1280 casos e 1136 controles (gestações únicas). Foi criado um escore para avaliar o esforço no trabalho remunerado. Inicialmente foi feita uma análise descritiva, seguida por uma análise bivariada tendo como variável dependente o parto prematuro espontâneo e como variáveis independentes as características individuais do trabalho e também o escore, além de outros possíveis fatores de risco. Para todas as variáveis desta análise foram calculadas as razões de chance (OR) e respectivos intervalos de confiança (IC) 95%, bem como seus p valores. Ao final, aplicou-se a análise múltipla por regressão logística em dois modelos, na qual 30 variáveis preditoras entraram no modelo inicialmente. O primeiro modelo com o escore e o segundo com as características individuais do trabalho. Foram calculadas as razões de chance (OR) e respectivos intervalos de confiança (IC) 95%, bem como seus p-valores. Nas análises bivariada e múltipla, o plano de amostragem por conglomerado foi considerado. O nível de significância foi pré-fixado em 5%. Resultados: A análise multivariada com escore identificou como fatores de risco ter partos prematuros prévios (OR 4,47), polidrâmnio (OR 4,35), sangramento vaginal na gestação (OR 1,93). O ganho de peso, o IMC, a idade e anemia na gestação atual, além do próprio escore ?2, mostraram-se protetores para parto prematuro. No modelo multivariado com as características do trabalho remunerado, trabalhar até 7º-9º mês mostrou-se protetor em substituição ao escore. O trabalho doméstico também se mostrou como fator protetor para parto prematuro espontâneo. Conclusões: O esforço no trabalho remunerado pode ter se mostrado protetor por causalidade reversa ou por benefícios do trabalho remunerado, ainda não avaliados na literatura, em relação a bem-estar e percepção de qualidade de vida reduzindo risco de contrações prematuras. Alternativamente, pode ser que a intensidade do esforço físico no trabalho seja no máximo moderado, o que se mostra um fator associado a melhor prognóstico gestacional na literatura / Abstract: Background: Preterm birth, the major cause of neonatal mortality, remains as a complex issue. Changes in woman¿s social role while entrying the labor market pose a question on the effect of occupational activities on pregnancy outcomes, and we hypothetize that effort on paid work cause more premature birth. Methods: A secondary analysis from a questionnaire applied at Brazilian Multicenter Study on Investigation of Prematurity (EMIP), identified 1280 cases (spontaneous premature birth) and 1136 controls (term birth) in singleton pregnancies. A score on exertion during paid work included hours of work, standing, night shifts, physical effort, duration of work though gestation (maximum 5 points, one per each). Complementary independent variables contained individual work characteristics, and physical effort on household chores. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Backward multiple logistic regression analysis was applied for one model using the score, and another using the individual work characteristics, considering a conglomerate sampling plan. Results: Working score ?2, weight gain, body mass index, age and anemia had a protective effect, and previous preterm delivery, polyhydramnios, and vaginal bleeding during pregnancy were risk factors in the first multivariate analysis model. In the model with individual characteristics, working until 7th-9th month and carrying out household chores were protective factors for spontaneous premature birth. Conclusions: The protective effect of exertion during paid work may represent reverse causality. But risk reduction with household duties, and working until third trimester reinforce the hypothesis that physical effort may offer real protection against premature delivery.

Introdução: Esse estudo investigou a violência de gênero contra mulheres profissionais de enfermagem perpetrada por parceiros íntimos (VPI), familiares e outros agressores. Objetivos: Estimar a ocorrência de violência psicológica, física, sexual; caracterizar os agressores, a busca de ajuda e locais procurados; analisar as diferenças entre enfermeiras e auxiliares/técnicas de enfermagem quanto à freqüência da violência de gênero e verificar a nomeação de violência aos atos de agressão identificados. Métodos: Nesse estudo transversal foram entrevistadas 179 profissionais de 20 a 59 anos (50 enfermeiras e 129 auxiliares/técnicas de enfermagem), utilizando-se um questionário validado e aplicado face a face por entrevistadoras treinadas. Resultados: A VPI foi a mais freqüente (63,7%; IC95%:55,7-70,4) seguida pela violência por outros (45,8%; IC95%:38,3-53,4) perpetrada por pacientes/acompanhantes, colegas de trabalho da área da saúde, estranhos, chefia de enfermagem e conhecidos. A violência por familiares ocupou o terceiro lugar (41,3%; IC95%: 34,0-48,9) e foi cometida, principalmente, por pai, irmãos (homens), tios e primos. Houve importante sobreposição dos tipos de VPI, sendo a forma exclusiva de violência psicológica a mais comum (19,2%), seguida pelas três formas (17,5%) e violência psicológica conjugada à física (14,7%). Auxiliares/técnicas de enfermagem referiram mais VPI que enfermeiras (p<0,05). As profissionais de enfermagem, de forma geral, buscaram pouca ajuda: 20,3% para a violência por outros, 29,3% para a violência por familiares e 29,7% para a VPI. Não perceberam o vivido como violento, 31,9% das entrevistadas. Conclusões: Os elevados índices de violência de gênero identificados evidenciam a presença dessa forma de violência também entre mulheres profissionais de saúde de alta escolaridade. Propõe-se que essa temática seja foco de atenção das equipes supervisoras nos locais de trabalho, através de uma abordagem acolhedora e ética. Sugere-se que o tema seja abordado para a proteção da saúde das profissionais e para uma melhor prática assistencial. / Background: This study investigated gender violence against female nursing staff perpetrated by male intimate partners (IPV), family members and other aggressors. Objectives: To estimate the occurrence of psychological, physical and sexual violence; characterize the aggressors, as well as the attempt to seek help and where it was sought; analyze the differences between nurses and nursing aides/technicians as to the frequency of gender violence and to verify if the acts of aggression are designated as violence. Methods: In this cross sectional study, 179 professionals, aged 20 to 59 years old, were interviewed (50 nurses and 129 nursing aides / nurse technicians). A validated questionnaire was applied in face to face interviews conducted by trained interviewers. Results: IPV was the most frequent form of violence (63.7%; IC95%:55.7-70.4), followed by violence perpetrated by others (45.8% IC95%: 38.3-53.4) including patients and people accompanying them, colleagues within the field of health, chiefs of the nursing staffs, acquaintances and strangers. Family members occupied the third place as aggressors, (41.3%; IC95%:34.0-48.9), and the majority of these were fathers, brothers, uncles and cousins. There was an important amount of overlap of the types of IPV, being that the most common exclusive form was psychological violence (19.2%), followed by psychological, physical and sexual violence in conjunction (17.5%) and then by both psychological and physical violence (14.7%). Nursing aides/ technicians mentioned the occurrence of IPV more frequently than did the nurses (p<0.05). In general, the nursing staff did not seek help frequently: only 20.3% of those who suffered violence from other aggressors, 29.3% from family members and 29.7% from IPV sought help. Those who did not perceive their experience as a form of violence represented 31.9% of the subjects interviewed. Conclusions: The high rates of gender violence identified in this study are evidence of the occurrence of this form of violence among female health professionals with high levels of education. It is suggested that team supervisors be encouraged to focus on this theme in the workplace, addressing it by means of an ethical and supportive approach. By contributing towards the protection of health professional\'s well being, this could also help improve the quality of assistance for which they are responsible.

BACKGROUND: Many women of reproductive age are employed in industries involving exposure to organic solvents. Animal toxicological studies and human case reports demonstrate that exposure to organic solvents can cause neuropsychological deficits in exposed offspring; however, there is limited data from prospective controlled human studies. OBJECTIVE: To compare neuropsychological functioning between children whose mothers were occupationally exposed to organic solvents during pregnancy with a non-exposed matched comparison group. METHODS: Participants were 48 women who had previously contacted the Motherisk Program in Toronto, Canada during pregnancy regarding occupational exposure to organic solvents and a matched comparison group of women with no known exposure to teratogens during pregnancy. Children (18 months to 8 years 11 months at time of study) were compared in areas of cognitive, language, motor, and behavioral functioning. RESULTS: Children whose mothers were exposed to organic solvents during pregnancy displayed a lower level of functioning when compared with their matched peers in areas of cognitive, language, motor, and behavioral domains. Although the scores on measures of behavioral functioning were not in the clinical range, the mothers of exposed children reported more challenging behavioral problems. In order to determine whether exposure predicted neuropsychological outcomes above and beyond maternal intellectual functioning, hierarchical regressions were run with maternal IQ and maternal education at Step 1and exposure status added at Step 2. In utero exposure to organic solvents predicted lower sores on global measures of Verbal IQ, receptive and expressive language scales above and beyond maternal intellectual functioning. Factors associated with higher levels of exposure (detecting odor, longer duration and total number of toxicity symptoms) was associated with poorer outcome on behavioral and motor functioning tests. CONCLUSION: Despite the fact that the exposed mothers experienced minimal symptoms of toxicity, detrimental effects were still evident in their offspring. Current safety standards for exposure were designed for adults and need to be reevaluated. Further studies addressing exposure to specific organic solvents, dose, and gestational timing of exposure are warranted.
