Soroepidemiologia da hepatite B e C em índios Kaingang do Sul do Brasil

OBJETIVO: Investigar a prevalencia de infeccao pelo virus da hepatite B e C na populacao indigena Kaingang da reserva de Mangueirinha, no Estado do Parana, Brasil. METODO: A presenca dos marcadores sorologicos anti-HBc, anti-HBs, AgHBs e anti-VHC foi investigada em amostras de sangue de 214 voluntarios (81 do sexo masculino e 133 do sexo feminino) usando tecnicas imunoenzimaticas. Os participantes responderam a um questionario sobre os aspectos sociodemograficos, as condicoes de vida, os habitos e o historico de doencas e de vacinacao. RESULTADOS: A media de idade foi de 29,85 anos (1 a 90 anos). Foi observada uma positividade de 71,02% para o marcador anti-HBs e de 15,42% para o anti-HBc. Nenhum caso foi positivo para o marcador AgHBs. Somente um participante, uma mulher de 30 anos, apresentou positividade para anti-VHC. CONCLUSAO: Os resultados mostram baixa prevalencia de infeccao pelo VHB e pelo VHC na populacao Kaingang estudada. A alta prevalencia de anti-HBs nas faixas etarias mais baixas indica uma boa abrangencia da imunizacao ativa artificial. Na populacao adulta, e provavel que a imunidade contra o VHB tenha sido adquirida principalmente de forma natural, pelo contato com o virus.

Fatores que interferem na adesão ao tratamento de dependência química: percepção de profissionais de saúde

Exploratory, qualitative research performed at a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Other Drugs in the metropolitan area of the city of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, from March to April 2013. This study aimed to identify health professionals’ perceptions on the factors that interfere in patient compliance with chemical dependence treatments. All health professionals from the Care Center participated in the research (9). Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews and analyzed by Minayo’s Qualitative Data Interpretation, resulting in two categories: drug users’ intrinsic factors for treatment compliance, which entailed motivational influences, use of medication, and the type of psychoactive substance; and drug users’ extrinsic factors for treatment compliance, which included influences from the family, socioeconomics, and healthcare services. It could therefore be concluded that the identification of such factors may well aid in identifying more appropriate therapeutic intervention planning, in an attempt to increase both compliance and quality of life.Pesquisa qualitativa e exploratoria realizada de marco a abril de 2013 em um centro de atencao psicossocial alcool e outras drogas da regiao metropolitana de Curitiba, com o objetivo de identificar a percepcao dos profissionais de saude sobre os fatores que interferem na adesao ao tratamento da dependencia quimica.
