Implicações sociais e econômicas nos pacientes vítimas de acidentes com motocicleta internados no IOT-HCFMUSP / Social and economic implication on patients victims of motorcycle accidents under medical care on IOT-HCFMUSP

Anjos, Kátia Campos dos 12 December 2012 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: Os acidentes de trânsito são considerados um problema de saúde pública, identificado como umas das primeiras causas de morte violenta no mundo. No Brasil, a cada minuto uma pessoa morre ou fica ferida em consequência de acidentes com motocicletas. Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar o perfil e as implicações sociais e econômicas dos pacientes vítimas de acidentes com motocicleta. MÉTODO: Estudo prospectivo que avaliou 68 motociclistas na condição de condutor ou passageiro, no momento da internação e após seis meses decorridos do acidente. Utilizou-se questionário abordando perguntas quantitativas e qualitativas. RESULTADO: A motocicleta é responsável por 12% das internações na Instituição, 54,4% são jovens de até 28 anos de idade. 92,6% são condutores e 91,2% do sexo masculino. 50% utilizavam a moto como meio de transporte diário, sendo que 70,6% aprenderam a dirigir sozinhos, com parentes ou amigos. Na reavaliação após seis meses 94,1% necessitaram da ajuda de alguém e 83,8% tiveram a dinâmica familiar alterada em decorrência do acidente. 73,5% não retornaram as atividades profissionais, 80,9% precisaram de dinheiro extra, e destes 45,6% resolveram a situação financeira com empréstimos. Quanto às atividades de lazer, antes do acidente 64,7% praticavam atividades esportivas e após o acidente, 50% não exerciam nenhuma prática, restringindo-se ao ambiente doméstico. Os principais impactos mencionados foram: limitação dos movimentos (52,9%), maior atenção e direção defensiva (32,4%) e medo (27,9%). As mudanças mais expressivas ocorridas no dia-a-dia foram: locomoção (95,6%), a família (61,8%) e o relacionamento afetivo (16,2%). CONCLUSÃO: O acidente de motocicleta é um problema de saúde pública que afeta a população jovem e economicamente ativa do país. A incapacidade temporária ou permanente determina a alteração da dinâmica familiar; trauma psicológico e afetivo, comprometimento do lazer e mudança no comportamento do indivíduo. As dificuldades econômicas em decorrência da perda de produção e aumento de gastos com o tratamento geram dificuldades financeiras e causam impacto negativo na situação econômica familiar. / INTRODUCTION: The traffic accidents are considered a problem for the public health system as one of the most frequent cause of violent death in the world.

Sources of Financing for Small and Medium Enterprises in Nigeria

Watse, Dije Umaru 01 January 2017 (has links)
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which account for 96% of businesses in Nigeria are often forced to close because they lack access to funds. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the sources of funds available for the development and growth of SMEs in Nigeria. The conceptual framework guiding this study was the pecking order theory. Data were gathered from company documents and through semistructured interviews of a target population of 3 leaders of 3 SMEs from the oil and gas industry in Abuja, Kano, and Lagos in Nigeria, with a capitalization of between N5 million to N500 million. Data were compiled and organized, disassembled into fragments, reassembled into a sequence of groups, and interpreted for meaning. Member checking and triangulation of sources between the interviews and company documents added to the trustworthiness of the findings. Two themes morphed from the study: sources of business finance for SMEs and constraints of sourcing of finance for business. The implications for positive social change include the potential to create employment opportunities for youths in the communities by enabling SMEs in Nigeria to succeed and expand through the identification of sources of funding.

The study abroad field has progressed into an innovative and exciting stage given the high- rise of interest throughout the last twenty years. Study abroad is not showing signs of losing momentum concerning student interest or academic research. Numerous variables affect the direction the field is heading. This study intends to illuminate some of those variables through classifying study abroad results. This research study is part of the 21st century phenomena regarding increased travel through study abroad programs. It investigates the results of U.S. students’ study abroad experiences in Spain and Australia, through identifying aspects of the knowledge outcomes, changes in perspective, and the social, professional, and personal implications on a U.S. student after returning home from such an endeavor. It is critical to recognize and comprehend student results from the study abroad perspective to provide higher education institutions, study abroad companies, educators, students, and researchers with a contextual, first-hand encounter through the eyes of the student. This student analysis provides a greater framework for various stakeholders to continue the promotion of studying abroad, while enriching study abroad programs, and to continue the provision of breadth of opportunity for upcoming students interested.

Choice on termination of pregnancy : its impact on the woman's health

Makutoane, Matokgo Elizabeth 02 1900 (has links)
Unintended and unwanted pregnancies are major reproductive health problems impacting negatively on women’s health globally. When faced with these pregnancies, many women choose termination of pregnancy (TOP) as their recourse. The purpose of the study was to explore and describe physical, psychological and social implications of TOP on the woman’s health. A qualitative and descriptive research design was used. The population comprised women who had TOP three months to one year before the study and were willing to participate in the study. A non-probability purposive sampling was used to select participants for the study. In-depth phenomenological interviews were used for data collection until data saturation was reached with 20 participants. The findings reveal that women had psychological, physical and social implications after TOP which impacted negatively on their health. Recommendations were made to improve the services of women choosing to terminate a pregnancy to lessen negative implications. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)
