0093/2018 - Desastres relacionados à seca e saúde coletiva – Uma revisão da literatura científica. Disasters related to drought and public health - A review of scientific literature.
No Brasil, a história das secas é marcada por seguidas tragédias sociais e sanitárias, com estimativas de 3 milhões de óbitos entre o início do século XIX e o final do século XX e o registro de quase 32 mil eventos e mais de 96 milhões de afetados entre 1991 e 2010. Apesar de no Brasil a seca ser um desastre histórico, não encontramos, desde a expedição científica de Arthur Neiva e Belisário Penna em 1912 nas zonas flageladas pela seca, muitas pesquisas sobre a relação seca e saúde no Brasil. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma revisão dos artigos científicos sobre a relação seca e saúde coletiva. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados PubMed, Portal Preparação e Respostas a Desastres da BVS e Portal de Periódicos da Capes, utilizando-se os descritores drought and health no título e resumo, selecionando-se somente artigos em inglês e espanhol com relação direta com os temas em saúde. Dentre os efeitos sobre a saúde encontrados, destacam-se os relacionados à desnutrição e deficiências nutricionais, saúde mental, qualidade das águas e do ar, além do comprometimento da qualidade e do acesso aos serviços de saúde. Considerando-se as tendências de episódios de seca mais intensos e frequentes e de escassez de água até 2030, torna-se urgente ampliar as pesquisas sobre o tema e revisões da literatura.
In Brazil, the history of droughts is marked by constants social and health tragedies, with estimates of 3 million deathsthe early XIX century and the late XX century and the record of nearly 32 thousand events and more than 96 million affected between 1991 and 2010. Although in Brazil drought is a historic disaster, could not find, since the scientific expedition of Arthur Neiva and Belisario Penna in 1912 in the flagellated areas by drought, many researches on the relation drought and health in Brazil. The objective of this paper is to present a revision of the scientific articles related to drought and public health. The considered databases were PubMed, Disaster Preparedness and Response (VHL) and “Portal de Periódicos da Capes”, using the descriptors drought and health on both title and summary and ing only articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish directly connected to health themes. Among the health effects found, it highlights those related to malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies, mental health, quality of water and air and also those that commitment the access and quality of health services. Considering the trends of more intense and frequent droughts episodes and the water scarcity by 2030, it is urgent to expand the research on the theme and literature reviews.
