Terapia ocupacional em disfunção física: discutindo a produção bibliográfica brasileira no período de 1999 a 2005

This is a study of the Brazilian bibliography regarding occupational therapy in physical dysfunctions based on thesis, dissertations, articles and abstracts presented in conferences between 1999 and 2005. We consulted: LILACS - Latin American and Caribean Literature on Health Science, SciELO - Scientific Eletronic Library Online and the thesis achieves at CAPES. In regards to the abstracts, we searched the annals of the VII and IX Brazilian Occupational Therapy Conference and the VIII Brazilian and V Latin American Occupational Therapy Conference. We also identified books and manuals in this area of interest, edited between 2001 and 2005. For the articles we also searched the Cadernos de Terapia Ocupacional of the Federal University of São Carlos. There were found 213 texts about this theme. In the considered universe the abstracts presented in conferences represented 64% of the production while the articles, thesis and books represented, respectively, 20%, 9% and 7%. Regarding the published abstracts we observed a growth tendency in the given period, which did not occur with the articles. These had a rise between 1999 and 2002 and later decreased with the rise of publishing of books. The majority of the thesis and dissertations where published in 1999, 2003 and 2004. Debate on the intervention for functional capacity/ motor skills/independence/autonomy appears as a core theme, as well as concerns for the analysis of context, mental health of the person with disability, methods of intervention, among others.

Relação entre homicídio e transtornos mentais

Several studies have found a relationship between severe mental disorders and violence. One of the approaches to study this theme are investigations with homicide offenders. The aim of the present article was to investigate the association between homicide and mental disorders. A review of the literature was made through the following databases: Medline, Scientific Eletronic Library Online and Lilacs. In the Medline system, it was also searched the related articles section. Although there is an association between mental disorders and homicide, it is not clear why some patients behave violently and others do not. Comorbid alcohol/drugs disorders and personality disorders and lack of adherence to treatment may increase this risk. Identifying people with risk of violence and offering them mental health treatment services is warranted. These services should prevent the loss of contact and non-compliance with treatment that frequently precede homicide committed by people with severe mental disorders. It is of utmost importance that society and governmental authorities decrease the barriers that limit access to psychiatric and psychosocial treatment.

Gênero e saúde: perfil e tendências da produção científica no Brasil

The differences in health between men and women have been object of great interest, but interpretations tend to be naturalized and essentialists. Gender-oriented studies have criticized this literature and offered new analythical alternatives. The present study was intended to describe the profile and trends of scientific production on gender and health in Brazil. Data sources comprised the Research Groups Directory of Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (National Research Council), CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) Thesis Bank, and four journals available in SciELO--Scientific Eletronic Library Online. Fifty-one groups with at least one line of research in the subject were identified, with regional and institutional concentrations. The results confirmed the marked growth of scientific production in this field as 98 master and 42 doctoral dissertations and 665 articles on gender and health were retrieved. Women authored 86.0% and 89.0% of doctoral and master dissertations respectively, and 70.5% of the articles. Most were published in the 2000s when diversification of the studied topics was also seen. The studied subjects can be divided into five subgroups: reproduction and contraception; gender and violence; sexuality and health with emphasis on STD/AIDS; work and health, including domestic and night work; other emergent or less explored topics. There are major political, epistemological and methodological challenges for strengthening these advancements. The gender perspective offers possibilities for enlightment of theoretical dilemmas in public health. Furthermore, it can be added to other intellectual and political efforts towards understanding health and its determinants and fighting against inequalities and for social justice.
