Introduction:Erectile dysfunction is defined by the inability to obtain or maintain an erection sufficient to allow a satisfactory sexual relationship, according to the 2nd International Conference on Sexual Dysfunctions of 2004. This constitutes an attack on virility, and is a source of significant psychological suffering for the individual as well as for his partner. Erectile dysfunction is also a multifactorial disease, related to the overall physical and psychological health of the patient. Materials And Methods: The survey was conducted during three months in the military hospital of Avicenne in Marrakesh. It involved all patients consulting in Urology aged over 18 years regardless of the reason of consultation. Data was collected through a questionnaire by direct interview. The evaluation of ED was based on the definition of the 2nd International Conference of Sexual Dysfunction of 2004. Results: The analysis included 482 patients. The average age of patients was 51 ± 11 years. The main reason for consultation was a prostate problem (45.2%). ED was indicated as reason for consultation by 5.1% of patients. The overall prevalence of ED was 46%. 35.2% already discussed it with a doctor. ED was significantly correlated with age, benign prostatic hyperplasia, cardiovascular risk factors, prostate and pelvic surgery (P<0.001). 29.7% of ED patients used PDE5 inhibitors, 54% found it to be effective. Conclusion: This survey confirms the high prevalence of ED and its important underreporting. Physicians are encouraged to ask patients about ED, especially since there are now simple and effective therapies.

Abstract Objective: Erectile dysfunction can be caused iatrogenically, due to pelvic surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sexual function at various times after pelvic surgery in male patients and to investigate the non-modifiable risk factors associated with the presence and intensity of sexuality in these patients. Results: The mean age of the participants was 66.16 ± 13.07 years old. Regarding comorbidity, 47.2% reported various cardiovascular problems, 20.8% hypertension, 9.4% diabetes mellitus and 5.7% depression. A history of colectomy was present in 36.8%, 18.9% had undergone sigmoidectomy, and 33% inguinal hernia repair. The percentage of severe erectile function increased from 38.7% before surgery to 48.1% (25% increase) after surgery, at the end of the follow-up period (p <0.05). In the multivariate analysis model, age emerged as an independent predictor of erectile function ( p <0.001). Age was the most important determinant of the IIEF score, which was aggravated by 25% from the first to the last assessment of patients.

The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 12.5 million children and adolescents under the age of fifteen currently working in Latin America and the Caribbean. Of these, 9.6 million (77%) perform tasks that pose a risk to their physical and psychological health. This article presents a brief comparative analysis of child labor in Brazil and Uruguay in order to discuss the challenges of confronting this phenomenon in two very different countries that have embraced divergent strategies to deal with similar problems. To do this, the article presents an overview of the incidence of child labor in Brazil and Uruguay and seeks to demonstrate how far the category of labor is from a universal definition in the academic world, which is also repeated in the debate on the definition of child labor. It is possible to identify different moments of the debate in Latin America regarding the concept of child labor. Some approaches have been more contextualized than others, but all remain controversial and are sometimes considered incomplete. It will also consider the changes in the world of labor and how they interfere in this phenomenon. Despite advances in the fight against child labor overall, Brazil is starting to stagnate in its efforts to reduce the number of child and adolescent workers, and its challenge is to find new political solutions to address this problem. Uruguay still needs to place the issue more centrally on the nation’s political and social agenda in order to guarantee consistent research on the problem that can guide its policy responses.

The present chapter reviews the psychological literature on medical situations, their properties, and their associations with a variety of physical and psychological health outcomes. It offers a definition of medical situations and suggests a framework to organize the literature before providing a review of research on health outcomes associated with different medical situation categories (e.g., waiting for a doctor, receiving treatment), as well as their physical cues (e.g., hospital room with a view of nature, ambient sounds) and psychological characteristics (e.g., doctor-patient communication, information availability). The chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications of past studies and suggestions for further research on medical situations.

Perceptions of teammates and training load have been shown to influence athletes’ physical and psychological health; however, limited research has investigated these factors in relation to burnout. Athletes (N = 140) from a variety of competitive team sports, ranging in level from regional to professional, completed questionnaires measuring individual burnout, perceptions of teammates’ burnout, and training hours per week on two occasions separated by three months. After controlling for burnout at time one, training hours were associated with athletes’ burnout and perceptions of teammates’ burnout at time two. Multilevel modeling indicated actual team burnout (i.e., the average burnout score of the individual athletes in a team) and perceived team burnout were associated with individual’s own burnout. The findings highlight that burnout is dynamic and relates to physiological stressors associated with training and psychological perceptions of teammates’ burnout. Future research directions exploring potential social influences on athlete burnout are presented.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the concept of domestic violence based on its use in health sciences, humanities, and exact sciences according to Rodgers’ evolutionary model. Methods: this is a concept analysis based on Rodgers’ evolutionary conceptual model. Ninety-six articles were included in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French, which had a definition of domestic violence, having identified the antecedents, attributes and consequences and produced a model case. Results: twenty-two attributes, ten antecedents and eight consequences were identified. Final considerations: from antecedents, attributes and consequences, it was possible to identify the connection between domestic violence and gender issues, especially patriarchal, being seen in a normalized way by society and causing consequences to the victims’ physical and psychological health.
