A gestação é um periodo de grandes modificações no corpo da mulher com consequentente alteração na percepção da imagem corporal. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a percepção da imagem corporal e estado nutricional de gestantes. Para estes foram utilizadas medidas antropometricas de peso e estatura, sendo no periodo gestacional estas medidas aferidas de acordo com Sisvan (2004), e periodo pré gestacional observado dados do Cartão da gestante. Para avaliar a percepção da imagem corporal foi utilizado o questionário Maternal Adjustment and Maternal Attitudes, o qual permite avaliar atitudes e ajustamento materno durante a gestação, contendo uma sub-escala com questionamentos sobre a avaliação da imagem corporal. Participaram do estudo 26 gestantes. A média do período gestacional foi de 26,9 semanas. A maioria das gestantes apresentaram eutrofia 11 (42,3%) em ambos os períodos, sendo que no período gestacional houve um aumento no percentual de obesas. Na avaliação da percepção da imagem corporal a questão que demonstrou percepção da imagem corporal mais negativa foi: “achou que seu corpo tinha um cheiro agradável? ”. O estado nutricional das participantes não teve modificações significantes entre os dois períodos, e a percepção da imagem corporal foi mais negativa durante a gestação.

The Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) was developed and tested to provide a practical measure of maternal affectionate attachment. MAI items were identified from the literature, and their construct validity was assessed by experts who numerically rated them for relevance. The MAI, two other indicators of maternal attachment, and a measure of maternal adjustment were completed by 196 women approximately 1 month after the birth of their infants. Two subgroups of women completed the research instruments when their infants were 4 (Group A) or 8 (Group B) months old. The MAI demonstrated evidence of validity through significant correlations with other indicators of maternal attachment (the How I Feel About the Baby Now Scale and the Maternal Separation Anxiety Scale) at all time points and a correlation with maternal adjustment as measured by the Maternal Attitudes and Maternal Adjustment Scale. The MAI also demonstrated evidence of acceptable internal consistency reliability at all three time points.

Itn Use

Insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) are a mainstay of malaria prevention, yet poor adherence poses a major barrier to effective prevention. Self-reports of bednet use suffer from recall and social desirability biases. We have designed a device that electronically records ITN usage longitudinally. SmartNet consists of circuits made from a conductive fabric interwoven into the sides and top of a rectangular ITN. Digital sampling of the state of these circuits allows for determining whether the SmartNet is deployed for use or folded up. We conducted a study among pregnant women and women with children <5 years in Uganda to determine attitudes about objective bednet monitoring and SmartNet. Fifty women were interviewed with an average age of 27 years and 2.3 children. Twenty-two percent were pregnant. Ninety-five percent had used a bednet and 90% reported having a bednet at home. After displaying a SmartNet, 92% thought it would be easy to use and 100% expressed interest in using SmartNet. Concerns about SmartNet included washing the net, worries about being monitored while asleep, and worries about users removing the device components. Objective monitoring of ITN use appears to be acceptable among women in rural Uganda, setting the stage for further SmartNet field testing.
