ABSTRACT
Objective To estimate the time of decision (TD) to look for medical care and the time of arrival (TA) at the health service for men (M) and women (W) suffering from acute myocardial infarction and to analyze the influence of the interpretation of pain and pain resistance behaviors during these times. Methods This is an exploratory research, performed at the university hospital in Salvador/Bahia. 43 W and 54 M were interviewed. To study the dependence among sociodemographic and gender variables, the Fisher Exact Test was used. To analyze times, a geometric mean (GM) was used. In order to verify the association between the GM of TD and TA and the judgment of pain, and between the GM of TD and TA and the behavior of resistance to pain, as well as to test the time of interaction between the gender variable and other variables of interest, the robust regression model was used. The statistical significance adopted was 5%. Results The GM of the TD for M was 1.13 h; for W, 0.74 h. The GM of the TA was 1.74 h for M and 1.47 h for W. Those who did not recognize the symptoms of AMI and presented behavior of resistance to pain had higher TD and TA, being the associations significant. Gender did not change the associations of interest. Conclusion The findings demonstrate the importance of health education aiming at the benefits of early treatment. .
RESUMO
Objetivo estimar o tempo de decisão (TD) para a procura de atendimento medico e o tempo de chegada a um serviço de saúde (TC) para homens (H) e mulheres (M) que sofreram infarto do miocárdio e analisar a influência da interpretação da dor e de comportamentos de resistência à dor nesse tempo. Métodos trata-se de pesquisa exploratória, realizada em hospital universitário de Salvador/BA. Foram entrevistados 43 M e 54 H. Para estudar a dependência entre as variáveis sociodemográficas e os sexos, empregou-se o Teste Exato de Fisher. Para analisar os tempos, utilizou-se a média geométrica (MG). Para verificar a associação entre a MG dos TD e TC e o julgamento da dor e entre a MG dos TD e TC e os comportamentos de resistência à dor, bem como para testar o termo de interação entre a variável sexo e as variáveis de interesses, utilizou-se o modelo de regressão robusto. A significância estatística adotada foi de 5%. Resultados a MG do TD para H foi de 1,13 h; para M, de 0,74 h. A MG do TC foi de 1,74 h para H e de 1,47 h para M. Aqueles que não reconheceram os sintomas do IAM e apresentaram comportamentos de resistência à dor apresentaram maior TD e TC, sendo as associações significantes. Os sexos não modificaram as associações de interesse. Conclusão os achados assinalam a importância da educação em saúde visando aos benefícios do tratamento precoce. .
