Atuação da Fisioterapia Frente ás Disfunções Sexuais Masculinas: disfunção erétil e ejaculação precoce

Introdução: as disfunções sexuais masculinas são alterações no funcionamento do sistema genital masculino, ocasionando déficits funcionais. Entre as disfunções mais comuns, estão: a disfunção erétil (DE), que é definida como uma incompetência persistente de dar início e manter uma ereção satisfatória, a qual permita ter um desempenho sexual suficiente; e a ejaculação precoce (EP), que é detalhada como a dificuldade de reter a ejaculação, e/ou mantê-la por mais de um minuto durante a penetração ou diante de outra forma de estimulação sexual. Em detrimento aos problemas de disfunções sexuais, os homens têm buscado alternativas para amenizar os sintomas, fazendo uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, acarretando prejuízos à saúde, levando a um quadro de drogadição, toxicodependência e até ao óbito. Pensando nessa perspectiva, a atuação da fisioterapia frente a essas disfunções se faz extremamente necessária a fim de reestabelecer o quadro funcional dos homens de forma segura e eficiente, priorizando um atendimento não medicamentoso e convencional. Objetivo: desse artigo é compreender a atuação fisioterapêutica nas disfunções sexuais masculinas. Método: Nesse trabalho, é uma revisão integrativa em que se aplicaram os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS), tais como: “sexual dysfunction”, “men”, “physical therapy”, limitando-se aos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, aos estudos com seres humanos, aos temas em conformidade a esse trabalho e aos textos na íntegra, com restrições temporais de 2010 a 2020, para os artigos, e tendo suas consultas realizadas nas bases de dados: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO, 2 artigos), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline, 307 artigos/PubMed, 243 artigos), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS, 7 artigos), Biblioteca Virtual em Ciências da Saúde (BVS, 320 artigos). Resultados: Se mostraram positivos e eficientes, pois, a atuação da fisioterapia frente a essas disfunções apresenta efeitos promissores no reestabelecimento do quadro funcional desses pacientes. Discussão: O uso da cinesioterapia, eletroterapia, vacuoterapia e terapias por ondas de choque de baixa intensidade têm se mostrado eficazes na melhora da ejaculação precoce e disfunção erétil. Conclusão: É notório observar que a atuação da fisioterapia na saúde pélvica é eficiente e eficaz, pois, através de anamnese, exame físico, testes e escalas funcionais, avaliará o paciente de forma individual e empática, a fim de utilizar os recursos próprios e indicados para cada paciente, visando fortalecer os músculos do assoalho pélvico e melhorar o fluxo peniano, aprimorando o desempenho sexual satisfatório e devolvendo qualidade de vida, autoestima e saúde biopsicossocial para os pacientes e a família. Palavras-chave: Disfunções sexuais; Fisioterapia; Homem.

Implicit aspects of the National Common Curricular Base: some implications in the current context

This work consists of analyzing and discussing some aspects that are implicit in the Common Base National Curriculum - BNCC, which was approved by the National Education Council and approved by the MEC, initially in the year 2017 with early childhood education and, later, in 2018, high school. Based on a bibliographic and documentary research, it was possible to identify that the BNCC, when approved and ratified on different dates when related to the teaching stages, members of basic education, demonstrated to have a certain fragmentation, opposing the critical conception of rights, objectives of learning and development, as provided for by law. It is concluded, therefore, that the implications implicit in this official document, dated and published in the context of a political-ideological, economic and social crisis, consequently have been unfolding and strengthening the precariousness and the dismantling of Brazilian education, requiring a wide opening of debates and discussions for new possibilities of changes in the structure and current conjuncture of the country.

Lecturers and student teachers with hearing impairments’ own perceptions on academic performance: a case study of Kitwe College of Education - Zambia

The level of education attained by students is dependent on their ability to understand learnt concepts and demonstrate their acquired knowledge and skills in problem solving as well as their performance academically. This study sought to investigate the perceptions of lecturers on academic performance of student teachers with hearing impairments. A descriptive case study was used as research design. The study sample included three (3) Lecturers and four (4) student teachers with hearing impairments making the total of seven (7) participants who were purposively sampled. Data was generated using interviews and analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis techniques based on emerging themes from the study. The study revealed that lecturers perceived student teachers with hearing impairments as average and below-average performers academically. The study further revealed that student teachers with hearing impairments had mixed feelings towards their academic performance and perceived their academic performance as being influenced by their inability to understand concepts as well as lecturers’ inability to handle them appropriately. The study recommended the need by educators of students with hearing impairments to have positive perception towards students in order to instill self-positive regard in students. The study further recommended need for lecturers to adapt tests and examinations items in order to accommodate deaf student teachers.
