Objective: This study aims to investigate the psychological consequences of menopause in women, exploring the emotional and behavioral impacts associated with this transition phase. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, with an approach that allows the synthesis of studies with different methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative and mixed studies. Searches were carried out in electronic databases, such as PubMed, PsycINFO and Scopus, using keywords related to menopause and mental health. Studies published in the last 10 years were selected. Results: The results highlighted a variety of psychological consequences related to menopause. Many participants reported symptoms of anxiety, depression and mood swings. In addition, self-esteem and body image were affected in some cases. Quality of life was also perceived as compromised due to these emotional challenges. Final Considerations: The study highlights the importance of understanding the psychological implications of menopause and recognizing that this phase can be accompanied by significant emotional difficulties for some women. The multidimensional approach, which considers both the biological and psychological aspects of menopause, is essential to provide adequate support to women in this transition.Introdução: A menopausa, um estágio natural na vida de mulheres, marca o fim do período reprodutivo e é frequentemente acompanhada por mudanças hormonais e físicas.

Profile of infected pregnant women and children exposed to HIV at a specialized service in the South of Brazil

Abstract Objectives: to characterize the social and clinical profile of pregnant women infected with HIV, the factors associated to the prevention of vertical transmission, and to analyze the quality of the information available in the SINAN notification forms and clinical records of infected pregnant women and children exposed to HIV in a specialized service in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul. Methods: retrospective documentary study conducted from medical records of 110 HIV mothers and their children born between June/2014 and March/2017. For the analysis, the absolute frequency and the data percentage were taken under consideration. Results: the characterization of infected women represents a Brazilian scenario among young adults, low schooling level and the occurrence of unpaid employment situation. Most mothers underwent treatment during pregnancy and had prenatal care with the intention of applying the prophylactic measures recommended by the national protocols. A greater occurrence of incompleteness of data in the factors of prevention of vertical transmission was identified. Conclusions: the compromise is identified regarding the quality of assistance addressed to the population, which is largely exposed to unfavorable social conditions. The occurrence of data incompleteness shows that there is still not a culture among health professionals that ensures that the information is adequately filled out and favors the exchange of the information among the services
