ABSTRACT

La Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud (CIF) constituye elmarco conceptual de la Organización Mundial de la Salud para una nueva comprensión del funcionamiento,la discapacidad y la salud. Como herramienta del nuevo paradigma en salud del siglo XXI, laCIF, por su validez de contenido, constituye la base para la clarificación de conceptos relacionados con la salud de amplia utilización en la literatura médica, y metodológicamente se ha demostrado útil para definir qué debemos medir al evaluar integralmente el funcionamiento de las personas a lo largo del tiempo y comprender cómo sus componentes interactúan entre sí.


The World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has provided a new foundation for our understanding of health, functioning, and disability. As a con-tent-valid, comprehensive and universally applicable health classification for the 21st century, it serves as a platform to clarify and specify health-related concepts that are frequently used in the medical lite-rature, and to describe the process of addressing the question of what to measure in studies in which the main focus is a comprehensive understanding of functioning over time, and how its components interact or affect each other.

ABSTRACT

The scope of this article is to describe persons with disabilities (PwD) being subjected to cancer screening and the relationship between some social variables and inequalities in performing these tests. A cross-sectional study of cancer screening among PwD was conducted in 2007 with 333 participants interviewed in residence in 4 cities of São Paulo. Variables in the practice of cancer screening, disabilities, gender, age, income of main family breadwinner, ethnicity, use of health services, assistance required, private health insurance, and coverage by the family health program were studied. Frequencies, χ²-test, trend χ² percentages and the Odds Ratios (OR) were used for data analysis. 44% of PwD attended at least one cancer screening at the appropriate time. Persons with visual disabilities and with hearing disabilities were subjected to more screening examinations than those with mobility disabilities and women were attended in screening exams more than men. Persons between the ages of 21 and 60 reported cancer screening more frequently than those between 80 and 97 years of age. The outcomes indicate that PwD have different attitudes toward cancer screening according to the type of disability, gender, and age, which were the variables that directly influenced cancer screening exams.


O objetivo deste artigo é descrever a realização de exames preventivos de câncer entre pessoas com deficiências (PD) e a relação entre algumas variáveis sociais e as desigualdades na realização dos exames. Estudo transversal sobre exames preventivos de câncer entre PD. Foram entrevistadas em domicílio 333 pessoas em quatro cidades de São Paulo, em 2007. Estudou-se variáveis relacionadas aos exames preventivos, deficiências, gênero, idade, renda do chefe da família, etnia, uso de serviços de saúde, assistência necessária, plano privado de saúde e cobertura pela Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Para a análise usou-se frequências, porcentagens, teste de χ², χ² de tendência e Odds Ratio (OR). Dos entrevistados, 44% realizou pelo menos um exame preventivo na época correta. Pessoas com deficiência visual e com deficiência auditiva fizeram mais exames do que aqueles com deficiência física. Mulheres fizeram mais exames que os homens e pessoas com idade entre 21 e 60 anos relataram maior frequência de exames que aquelas entre 80 e 97 anos.
