Adesão das mulheres ao programa de prevenção do câncer de colo do útero na atenção básica, Ananindeua-PA

Objetivo: avaliar a adesão das mulheres ao exame de Prevenção do Câncer de Colo Uterino (PCCU), às suas dificuldades e o seu conhecimento. Método: Estudo transversal realizado por meio de entrevista as mulheres cadastradas em uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), Ananindeua-Pará. Resultados: A maioria das mulheres estava entre as faixas de 20-39 anos (72,6%), possuía baixa renda e baixa escolaridade. Relataram realizar o exame anualmente (64,0%) e a cada dois anos (17,0%), sendo que 14,0% delas nunca realizaram. Das participantes que nunca realizaram o exame, a faixa etária de 20-29 foi a mais prevalente (73,3%) (p<0,05). Verificou-se que as mulheres já tinham ouvido falar a respeito da doença (97,1%) e consideravam o câncer como uma ferida que pode levar a morte (81,4%). Observou-se uma relação significativa entre o conhecimento acerca do câncer do colo do útero (ouviu falar, conceito, como é conhecido, periodicidade, detecção tardia), início da vida sexual, uso de preservativo, uso de anticoncepcional e doença sexualmente transmissível com realização do exame (p<0,05). Foi relatada a vergonha como maior dificuldade (25,5%), seguido por descuido (22,5%) e falta de tempo (12,5%). As mulheres que realizaram o exame avaliaram como “Bom” o programa de PCCU da ESF. Conclusão: As mulheres apresentaram boa adesão ao exame do PCCU, referiram a vergonha como principal dificuldade e demonstraram ter noção sobre o assunto

WOMEN'S ACCESSION TO THE PROGRAM FOR CANCER PREVENTION OF CERVICAL IN PRIMARY CARE, ANANINDEUA-PA

Objective: To evaluate the adherence of women to take on the Prevention of Cervical Cancer (PCC), their difficulties and their \ud knowledge. Methods: Cross-sectional study by interviewing women enrolled in a Family Health Strategy (FHS), Ananindeua-Pará. Results: Most women were between 20-39 years of age (72.6%), had low income and low education. Reported the exam annually (64.0%) and every two years (17.0%), while 14.0% of them never realized. Of the participants who never performed the \ud examination, the age group of 20-29 was the most prevalent (73.3%) (p<0.05). It was found that the women had heard about the disease (97.1%) and considered cancer as a wound that can lead to death (81.4%). There was a significant relationship between knowledge about cancer of the cervix (heard, concept, as it is known, timing, late detection), first sexual intercourse, condom use, contraceptive use and sexually transmitted disease with the examination (p<0.05). Shame was reported as greater \ud difficulty (25.5%), followed by neglect (22.5%) and lack of time (12.5%). Women who were examined rated as "Good" program \ud PCC FHS. Conclusion: Women showed good adhesion to take PCC, said the main difficulty shame and demonstrated the concept on the subject

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
