Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is one of the drugs most used by the Portuguese population for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and antiplatelet effect. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the knowledge and the consumption pattern of ASA in users of community pharmacies of three locations in the district of Porto.
The investigation was achieved by application of a questionnaire to 390 users of community pharmacies of three locations in the district of Porto (Lousada, Paços de Ferreira e Porto).
The dosage of ASA most known and consumed was of 500mg (28.2 and 53%, respectively). Individuals considered having a level of knowledge "Reasonable" about this substance (47.8%). As regards the frequency of use, the most reported by respondents was once per year (48.3%), and time-consuming 1 to 3 days (37.8%). A considerable percentage of respondents indicating that ASA was prescribed by the doctor (36.4%) and on his own initiative (36.4%). The main reasons of use of AAS are flu (41.2%), pain head (40%) and fever (10.7%), have been noted adverse effects in 4.1% of consumers. It was found that the level of knowledge is higher in middle age (40-60 years) (p = 0.220) and in individuals with qualifications of 6-9th year.
The present study denotes the existence of gaps of consistent, coherent and updated information about ASA drug

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTHMANDATORY REPORTING OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT ABUSE BY GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN A STATE OF BRAZILIAN NORTHEASTERNAna Carine Rolima, Gracyelle Moreirab, Luiza Jane Vieirab, Augediva Pordeusb, Carlos CorrêaaaDepartment of Public Health, Faculty of Medical Sciencies, University of Campinas; São Paulo, Brazil; bUniversity of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.Contact details: anacarine.rolim@hotmail.comIntroduction: Violence against children and adolescents is an unequal power relationship. The Brazilian Child and Adolescent Act adopt a strategy of safety and protection of all suspected cases of abuse. Objectives: The aim of this paper is to analyze the system of general practitioners (GPs) noti  cation for child and adolescent mistreatment throughout Ceará State, Brazil. Methods: A structured questionnaire was given to 227 general practitioners in 85 cities across the state. A quantitative analyze was done. The research was conducted in accordance with recognized ethical standards and national/international laws. Results: The professional average age is 35.7 years (Standard Deviation = 12.2). The GPs have been working on primary healthcare less than 05 years (51.5%). The results illustrate that the majority of GP had no training on child/adolescent mistreatment noti  cation (73.6%), but knew the Child and Adolescent Act (72.7%). GPs that trust in protection agencies of child and adolescent are the majority (70.8%) and do not feel under threat by the State (75.8%), for this reason they know how to forward the child/adolescent mistreatment cases (64.2%). Among 227 GPs participants, 53,1% affirmed that they had identified cases of child abuse in their careers (53.1%), nevertheless, just 52.6% of these occurrences of abuse had noti  ed. Conclusions: These   ndings show that as less training GPs are, less noti  cation of abuse problem they do. This is under the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) expectation and an abuse noti  cation system on the SUS must to be done, looking for changes on the GPs noti  cation. Keywords: Child abuse.

Methods: This project makes part of the “Pró-Saúde”, that is the National Program of Reorientation of the Professional Formation in Health in Brazil, being a report of the work process of professionals of SEMSA-Manaus and academics of UEA in the investigation and analysis of maternal deaths between 2010 to 2012.Results: Fourth-one maternal deaths were investigated of a total of 78 deaths (52,56%). Of these women, 68% were between 19 and 34 years old. Most (97,56%) had attendance of prenatal or delivery in units of health. Seventh four percent of the deaths happened during the gestation, followed by the puerperium (23%) and in the moment of the childbirth (3%). The direct obstetric causes were responsible for 66% of the deaths. Conclusions: The experience lived by academics of UEA increased the formation of those future professionals and it demonstrated that actions related to the obstetric complications in the pregnancy, childbirth or due to puerperium interventions, omissions, incorrect treatment should be part of a public health politics in any Country, State or area.

It is a condition related to exposure to risk factors and the spirometry is required to make a clinical diagnosis. The comorbidities contribute to its severity. Objectives: Identify the population of three Health Care Centers in Viseu diagnosed with COPD and characterize their smoking habits, occupational risks, registration of spirometry, comorbidities and therapy. Methodology: Observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study, by retrospective analysis of clinical records of patients diagnosed with COPD until June 2014. The data was collected through the software SAM® and then processed in Excel®2010. Results: 228 patients were studied, of whom 62.3% were male and 37.7% female, aged between 35 and 98 years (mean 71.5 years). 9.2% had occupational risk with exposure to dust and/or inhaled gases and 65.8% had no computer record of their profession. 52.6% were non-smokers, 12.3% smokers, 10.5% ex-smokers and 24.6% had no record of smoking. 35.5% of patients had spirometry requested, of which 61.7% was consistent with the diagnosis. Regarding comorbidities, 49.6% had hypertension, 36.4% dyslipidemia, 18.4% diabetes, 15.4% were obese and 18.9% had anxiety and depression. The majority (32%) were treated with an inhaled corticosteroid combined with a long-acting beta2-agonist. Conclusions: This study highlights the role of GP in controlling multiple comorbidities and in patient education for the avoidance of risk factors such as smoking. It is worth noting the lack of required spirometry, important to con  rm the diagnosis as well as in the monitoring of the disease, and the lack of medical records that should be improved.

Characterization of knowledge and consumption of acetylsalicylic acid in users of community pharmacies

Application of a questionnaire to 390 users of Community Pharmacies of three locations in the district of Porto (Lousada, Paços de Ferreira e Porto) in order to study:  • The consumption profile of AAS • The knowledge of AAS • The use of the drug for self-medication profile   Materials and Methods Pereira, O. R. (1)*, Barbosa, P.(1),  Gomes, D.(1), Moreira, I.(1), Fernandes, A.(2) Acetylsalicylic acid (AAS) is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiplatetet drug widely consumed by Portuguese population 1,2.    Aim: To characterize the knowledge and the consumption pattern of AAS in users of Community Pharmacies of three locations of the district of Porto. Introduction USE  • About half of respondents (46% ) have already been consume AAS • The 500mg is the best known dose and also the most consumed following of the 100mg (53% and 22% of consumption, respectively- Fig. 2) • Most consume AAS once a year, especially in cases of influenza and headache (41 and 40%, respectively). • High percentage of users practice self-medication (Fig. 3)                  KNOWLEDGE  Globally, the level of knowledge is reasonable, and higher in:   ►Residents in Lousada (p= 0.028); ►Female (p= 0.079); ►Individuals in middle age (40-60 years) (p= 0.220); ►Individuals with qualifications of 6-9th year (p= 0.187).

References The present study denotes the existence of gaps of a consistent, coherent and updated information regarding the safe use of AAS.  As such, it is considered appropriate to provide relevant information and advice to users by Pharmacy professionals in order to promote the decrease in the occurrence of adverse reactions.  The pharmaceutical community must be alert of the importance of providing information and clarification of the users, especially in regime of self-medication.
