Abstract
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a percepção da qualidade de vida de mulheres com dor nas costas, após terem participado de oficinas educativas para o autocuidado e prevenção desta sintomatologia. A pesquisa do tipo qualitativa foi realizada em uma instituição de ensino superior situada em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil, nos meses de abril e maio de 2005, com a participação de nove mulheres que haviam concluído oito oficinas. Para coleta de dados, usamos o grupo focal, o qual foi gravado e filmado. Os dados foram agrupados por categoria e analisados de forma seqüencial. Todas acharam que tinham boa qualidade de vida, mesmo apresentando pouca saúde, pouco dinheiro e sem emprego, mas isto era superado pela fé em Deus. Referiram que, antes das oficinas, a dor interferia nas atividades da vida diária e social e que, depois da intervenção, a dor havia diminuído ou desaparecido em todas as mulheres. A conscientização sobre o autocuidado proporcionou bem-estar físico, emocional, intelectual, potencializou a mobilidade e a tomada de decisões, o retorno às atividades, além de eliminar ou diminuir a medicação para dor. Percebemos a importância de avaliar a qualidade de vida para guiar-nos quanto às atitudes e terapêuticas mais eficazes.
The aim of this study was to analyze how women with back pain perceived their quality of life after having attended educational workshops on back pain directed to self-care and prevention. This qualitative study was conducted in a Higher Education Institution in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, during the months April and May 2005, using a sample of nine women who had concluded eight workshops. The focal group method was selected for data collection, and the sessions were filmed and recorded. Data were grouped into categories and sequentially analyzed. All women thought they had a good quality of life, independently of having a poor health, no money and no a job. All this was overcome by their faith in God. All women reported that, before the workshops, the pain had interfered in their daily and social lives and that, after the intervention, the pain had calmed down or disappeared. The awareness of self-care provided physical, intellectual and emotional well being, improved mobility and decision-making and allowed them to return to their activities. Besides, it helped to eliminate or reduce pain medication. The study made us realize the importance of evaluating the quality of life in order to guide us in the choice of the most effective therapeutic measures.
