Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal constipation and its association with sociodemographic and health-related factors in 605 adult women of metropolitan Florianópolis/SC who underwent screening tests for cervical cancer. This is a cross-sectional study in which intestinal constipation was evaluated by Rome III criteria. We used Poisson regression considering p < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of intestinal constipation according to Rome III was 25.1%. Approximately 80% of women with constipation reported that the problem caused medium/high interference in their lives. In univariate analysis, constipation was associated with: income per capita lower than 1 minimum wage, a poor health state, body dissatisfaction, physical activity during personal commuting and self-report of hemorrhoids. In multivariate analysis and following a hierarchical model, the association persisted only for self-report of hemorrhoids (PR = 4.45, CI = 3.49–5.68). Coping strategies for intestinal constipation in the health care of women are suggested. Resumo: O objetivo foi verificar a prevalência de constipação e sua associação com fatores sociodemográficos e relacionados à saúde em 605 mulheres adultas da grande Florianópolis/SC que realizaram exames de rastreamento de câncer de colo uterino. Este é um estudo transversal em que a constipação foi avaliada por meio dos critérios Roma III. Utilizou-se regressão de Poisson para p<0,05. Resultados: a prevalência de constipação segundo Roma III foi 25,1%. Aproximadamente 80% das mulheres com constipação referiram que a mesma tinha média/grande interferência em suas vidas. Na análise univariada, estiveram associados à constipação: renda per capita menor que 1 salário mínimo, estado de saúde ruim, insatisfação com o corpo, realizar atividade física no deslocamento pessoal e auto-relato de hemorróidas. Na análise multivariada e seguindo o modelo hierárquico, somente a associação com o auto-relato de hemorróidas foi preservada (RP = 4,45; IC = 3,49-5,68). Sugerem-se estratégias de enfrentamento da constipação no âmbito de atenção à saúde da mulher.
