RESUMO

RESUMO Este artigo relata uma experiência de formação em saúde mental desenvolvida no município de São Paulo entre os anos de 2013 e 2016. Denominado Projeto Rede Sampa - Saúde Mental Paulistana, direcionou-se a trabalhadores de diversas categorias profissionais e diferentes pontos da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial, tendo sido elaborado e executado utilizando estratégias que garantiram a participação dos distintos atores na construção de conteúdos de aprendizagem, a abordagem da singularidade das redes territoriais e o registro do percurso formativo das turmas. A partir da metodologia construcionista social, procurou-se discutir a relevância das interações dialógicas para o fortalecimento do trabalho em rede e a importância do alinhamento com a atenção psicossocial como modelo ético de cuidado.

ABSTRACT This article reports on a training experience in mental health developed in the city of São Paulo between 2013 and 2016. Named Projeto Rede Sampa - Saúde Mental Paulistana, it was aimed at workers from different professional categories and different points of the Psychosocial Care Network, having been elaborated and executed using strategies that ensured the participation of the different actors in the construction of learning contents, the approach to the singularity of territorial networks and the registration of the training path of the classes. Based on the social constructionist methodology, we sought to discuss the relevance of dialogical interactions for the strengthening of networking and the importance of alignment with psychosocial care as an ethical model of care.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Most studies on female sexual dysfunction are performed in population inventories and under specific clinical conditions. These approaches are performed using validated psychometric scales. Different scales to assess sexual function use different numbers of questions to characterize their domains. They also may or may not include domains of interaction between sexual partners. The objective of this study was to compare the precision between scales to be able to analyze their accuracy for better diagnosis of sexual dysfunction. METHODS: Fifty (50) healthy young women were enrolled in this study. Three questionnaires (FSFI, SQ-F, and GRISS) were applied to assess sexual function (n = 44). The accuracy measured by the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for individual domains and to cross-validated pairwise comparison of the three analyzed instruments was used. Kruskall-Wallis test to analyze individual domains of the scales was also used.The P-value was established as 0.05. RESULTS: The results showed that all domains and total FSFI and GRISS scores were significantly different between normal and dysfunctional women, but not for SQ-F domains. Indeed, AUC accuracy varied from excellent-good domain discrimination for FSFI and GRISS, but fair-poor for SQ-F. For the paired comparison between the three questionnaires a fair accuracy was detected. The specificity percentage was around 84% whereas that for sensibility was low, around 30%. CONCLUSIONS: The best agreement was between FSFI and SQ-F, probably being related to high similar shared questions when compared to GRISS. The agreement between SQ-F and GRISS was low possible due to low number of questions in SQ-F to characterize similar domains. This study evidenced high agreement between scales to sensitivity and low agreement for specificity, thereby conferring fair accuracy between them. Thus, the limited grade for discriminatory capacity (AUC) for sexual response should be considered when comparing results from these three different questionnaires and also when comparing with other different scales. In addition, despite the diversity of scales, the high reliability and fit for their desire domain suggest that the FSFI scale has good accuracy for the current clinical assessment of women's sexual health. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT03241524 . Retrospectively registered on 08/02/2017.

RESUMO

O estudo tem a finalidade de realizar uma intervenção educativa baseada em exercícios perineais de conscientização e fortalecimento da musculatura do assoalho pélvico (MAP) e de aplicar perineometria e palpação digital para comprovar sua eficácia. O treinamento destes músculos produz aumento na vascularização pélvica e na sensibilidade clitoriana, ocasionando otimização da satisfação sexual. A amostra foi constituída por 31 adultas jovens que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. O assoalho pélvico foi avaliado através da palpação digital pelo método Perfect e pelos perineômetros Peritron (9300+) e Biofeedback pressório ou Perina, além da aplicação do questionário Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). As mulheres foram submetidas a uma intervenção, sendo orientadas, através de cartilha, a realizarem em seus domicílios duas vezes semanais os exercícios de fortalecimento do assoalho pélvico. Mensalmente, as participantes foram reavaliadas pelos mesmos instrumentos e evoluíram para um novo nível de exercícios da MAP. Verificou-se potencialização da força da MAP ao longo da intervenção e melhora da satisfação sexual, tendo influência positiva mais significativa nas respostas sexuais envolvendo desejo, excitação e orgasmo. Conclui-se que é fundamental que haja uma interação multidisciplinar para trabalhar com disfunções sexuais da mulher e estabelecer um aumento da eficácia da terapêutica. (AU)

The study aimed to apply an educational intervention based on perineal exercises of awareness and strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and apply perineometry and digital palpation to prove its effectiveness. Training these muscles produces an increase in pelvic vascularity and clitoral sensitivity, resulting in optimization of sexual satisfaction. The sample consisted of 31 young adults who attended the inclusion criteria. The pelvic floor was assessed by digital palpation by Perfect method and the perineometer Peritron (9300+) and Biofeedback pressure Perina, in addition to the questionnaire Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The women were submitted to an intervention, being oriented to conduct in their households, twice a week, the strengthening exercises of the pelvic floor through a hornbook. Every month, the participants were re-evaluated by the same instruments and evolved to a new level of PFM exercises. There was potentiation of the PFM force during the intervention and improved sexual satisfaction, and most significant influence on the sexual responses involving desire, arousal and orgasm. It is concluded to be fundamental the existence of a multidisciplinary interaction to work with sexual dysfunction of women and provide therapeutic efficacy increase. (AU)

RESUMO

Objective: To identify and discuss techniques for evaluation of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) focusing on the most used and accessible techniques in health care. Methods: This is a quantitative exploratory and descriptive applied research. Data were collected from March to June 2016 at a higher education institution in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Initially, 31 healthy young women were submitted to pelvic floor evaluation using the following methods: PERFECT, vaginal cones, and perineometry using Perine and Peritron. The participants then performed exercises to strengthen PFM. The variables measured by the different methods were also recorded 30 and 60 days after the start of the program. ANOVA was used for repeated measures and Spearman's correlation test was used for the evaluation instruments with significance set at 5%. Results: The functional evaluation using all the methods was adequate in the PFM evaluation. In the digital palpation (PERFECT), the endurance response (E) was positively correlated to Perina (rho=0.688) and vaginal cones (rho=0.571), and muscle strength (P) was positively correlated to the Peritron technique (rho=0.506). Conclusion: There are several ways to evaluate PFM function and all of them provide sensory feedback to the patient. Given the low costs of digital palpation, the introduction of this technique into women's health services is likely to improve women's quality of life.

Objetivo: Identificar e discutir técnicas de avaliação dos músculos do assoalho pélvico (MAP) enfocando as mais usadas e acessíveis na assistência à saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, com pesquisa descritiva e aplicada, e abordagem quantitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de março a junho de 2016 em uma instituição de ensino superior da cidade de João Pessoa-PB. Inicialmente, 31 adultas jovens e saudáveis foram submetidas à avaliação do assoalho pélvico utilizando os métodos: PERFECT, cones vaginais, perineometria com Perina e Peritron. Em seguida, as participantes se submeteram a exercícios para fortalecer os MAP. As variáveis quantificadas pelos diferentes métodos também foram registadas 30 e 60 dias após o início do programa. Aplicou-se ANOVA para medidas repetidas e teste de correlação Spearman`s em 5% entre os instrumentos de avaliação. Resultados: A avaliação funcional com todos os métodos foi adequada na avaliação dos MAP. Na palpação digital (PERFECT), a resposta de resistência (E) mostrou correlação positiva com o Perina (rho= 0.688) e com os cones vaginais (rho= 0.571), por sua vez, a força muscular (P) teve correlação positiva com a técnica do Peritron (rho= 0.506). Conclusão: Várias são as maneiras de avaliar a função do MAP e todas promovem feedback sensorial ao paciente. Com relação aos baixos custos da palpação digital, a introdução dessa técnica em serviços de saúde feminina provavelmente proporcionará melhora da qualidade de vida das mulheres.

Objetivo: Identificar y discutir técnicas de evaluación de los músculos del suelo pélvico (MSP) con énfasis en las técnicas más utilizadas y asequibles para el cuidado de la salud. Métodos: Estudio exploratorio de abordaje descriptivo y cuantitativo aplicado en investigación. La recogida de datos se dio entre marzo y junio de 2016 en una institución de educación superior de la ciudad de João Pessoa, PB, Brasil. A principio fue realizada la evaluación del suelo pélvico en 31 mujeres jóvenes y saludables con los siguientes métodos: PERFECTO, conos vaginales, perineometria con Perine y Peritron. Después las participantes realizaron ejercicios para fortalecimiento de los MSP. Las variables cuantificadas por métodos distintos fueron también registradas en 30 y 60 días después del inicio del programa. Se aplicó la ANOVA para medidas repetidas y la correlación de Spearman fue aplicada en el 5% de los instrumentos de evaluación. Resultados: La evaluación funcional con todos los métodos ha sido adecuada para la evaluación de los MSP. En la palpación digital (PERFECTO) la respuesta de resistencia (E) mostró una correlación positiva con la Perina (rho = 0.688) y los conos vaginales (rho = 0.571) y la fuerza del músculo (P) tuvo una correlación positiva con la técnica Peritron (Rho = 0.506). Conclusión: Hay varias maneras de evaluar la función de los músculos del suelo pélvico y promover la respuesta sensorial al paciente. El método PERFECTO permite cuantificar la intensidad, el número de contracciones, ambos rápido y lento, así como la duración de la contracción de la musculatura perineal y, por lo tanto, aunque sea un método barato, ha sido sensible y específico para el objetivo estimado. Respecto los bajos costes de la palpación digital, la introducción de esa técnica en los servicios de salud para mujeres probablemente puede mejorar la calidad de vida de las mujeres.
