Abstract: Objective: 1)to assess the gestational age at the beginning of antenatal care and its covariates 2)to assess the number of antenatal visits and its covariates and 3)to identify the reasons for the late initiation of antenatal care and for attending less than four visits among postpartum women living in N ula, Mozambique. Method: cross-sectional study conducted with 393 mothers who answered a structured instrument in face-to-face interviews. Logistic regression was used to analyze the covariates of having initiated antenatal care up to the 16thgestational week, having attended four or more antenatal visits, and reporting both situations simultaneously. Results: all postpartum women underwent antenatal care, but only 39.9% started it until the 16thgestational week, 49.1% attended four or more visits, and 34.1% reported both events. Having concluded high school (ORadj=1.99 95%CI=1.19-3.31) or college (ORadj=3.87 95%CI=1.47-10.18) were aspects associated with reporting both situations. The reasons for the late initiation of antenatal care and attending less than four visits were as follows: not finding it important to attend several visits, not having easy access to the health facility, not being aware about pregnancy, and not having a companion for the visits. Conclusion: the gestational age at the beginning of antenatal care and the number of antenatal visits are lower than the current recommendations in the country.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of a group of Catholic women related to the orientations received from priests and parents and their influence on sexual attitudes. The oral history method was used to interview 17 Catholic women. Three categories summarize women's experiences: orientations about sexuality received from priests lack of orientation or existence of open dialogue about sexuality: distinct experiences in the family context adherence or repudiation and distinct attitudes toward orientations received. Health professionals systematically should seek knowledge about women's religious principles, because this is essential for meaningful and ethical health care.

Abstract: To evaluate the sexual functioning of breast cancer patients post mastectomy and its association with their quality of life, the personal characteristics of women and their partners, breast reconstruction, cancer staging and adjuvant therapies. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a University hospital located in the SouthEast of Brazil. A total of 100 women were included in the study. The parameters evaluated were sexual functioning, which was assessed based on the Sexual Quotient - Female Version (SQ-F), quality of life (QoL), evaluated by the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36), cancer staging, breast reconstruction, adjuvant therapies and the personal characteristics of patients (age, years of study and years of marriage) and their partners (age, years of study). The majority (40.48%) of women had an unfavorable to regular SQ-F score. A significant positive correlation (p<0.05) was found between the SQ-F score and years of education (p=0.03), and the following SF-36 domains: functional capacity (p=0.03), vitality (p=0.06), emotional limitations (p=0.00) and mental health (p=0.03). A significant negative correlation was found between SQ-F score and the age of the partners (p=0.03). SQ-F mean value was significantly higher (p=0.04) among women who underwent breast reconstruction. Women with low educational level, who have older partners, and who did not have a breast reconstruction should receive special attention with respect to their sexuality, and the effects of mastectomy on the sexuality of patients should be assessed. Oncology nurses are best qualified to recognize issues related to sexuality and quality of life, and can offer specific and meaningful support for breast cancer patients.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Objective: to describe characteristics of pregnant women at risk and analyze the relationship with type of delivery and complications during pregnancy and puerperium. Methods: a retrospective study with secondary data of 1,574 at-risk pregnant women followed up in an educational intervention by telemedicine. Results: pregnant women with an average age of 35 years and high educational level participated. Preference for normal delivery was 43.1%, but only 17.3% had normal delivery. During pregnancy, 43.5% sought emergency care. In the postpartum period, 2.0% needed an ICU. Emergency room search was associated with age and contacts with the intervention. Cesarean delivery was associated with age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity. ICU admission was associated with age and BMI. Conclusion: pregnant women were of high age and education, the younger and who had more contacts with the intervention sought more the emergency room. Older age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity were factors associated with cesarean delivery.

Abstract: The implementation of a new birthing facility in a country such as Brazil requires an extensive in-depth analysis of the challenges faced. The aim of this study was to explore beliefs, values, experiences, and practices related to the provision of birthing and neonatal care with the implementation of a new birth care facility structure called alongside midwifery units in Brazil. The study utilizes an ethnographic method to evaluate members of a Brazilian public hospital’s midwifery unit. The ethnographic study focuses on the cultural theme of “between the proposed and the possible”: the following birthing care guidelines require overcoming numerous obstacles, and four other cultural subthemes toward revealing the analyzed birth care team’s perspectives. The study found that prior training and preparation of all members of the care team, as well as the provision of adequate institutional infrastructure are essential for the implementation of a new and innovative birthing care center.

Abstract: This study focused on the young adult men’s perceptions and behavior toward their women partners who they acknowledged as experiencing the effects of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). A qualitative study was conducted, framed by social constructivism, where in idual interviews with 20 young Brazilian men aged 21 to 29 years were analyzed thematically. Four descriptive categories to express the men’s experiences: (a) men’s observations on partner’s behavior changes, (b) early in the relationship: apprehension and confusion, (c) knowledge about PMS led men to better understanding about changes, and (d) need for support from a health care provider and medication. The men’s perceptions and behavior toward their partners were strongly influenced by biomedical conceptions of PMS. Participants believed that their partners’ emotions and behaviors were determined by PMS during some days of the month, consequently PMS had affected the couple’s relationship. Another consequence of such medicalization was that women’s complaints about PMS were rendered invisible except when viewed as a serious medical problem requiring cure, rather than a part of women’s cyclical patterns. It is the case that the systematic description of men’s perceptions about their partner’s PMS provides an approach to this topic in educational and health care activities, with the potential to improve gender relations.
