1596/2012 - Persons with disabilities, cancer screening and related factors Pessoas com deficiência, exames preventivos de câncer e fatores relacionados
Objetivos. 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. Métodos. 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 freqüências, porcentagens, teste de χ2, χ2 de tendência e Odds Ratio (OR). Resultados. 44% dos entrevistados realizou pelo menos um exame preventivo na época correta. Pessoas com deficiência visual (OR=5,0); e com deficiência auditiva (OR=5,91) fizeram mais exames do que aqueles com deficiência física. Mulheres fizeram mais exames que os homens (OR=18,75) e pessoas com idade entre 21 e 60 anos (OR=4,04) relataram maior frequência de exames que aquelas entre 80 e 97 anos. Conclusões. Os achados indicam que as PD tiveram diferentes padrões de realização de exames preventivos segundo o tipo de deficiência, gênero e idade, sendo essas, as variáveis de influência direta na realização de exames preventivos de câncer.

Abstract:
Objectives. To describe the participation in cancer screening among persons with disabilities (PwD) and the relationship between some social variables and inequalities about these exams. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study of cancer screening in PwD. 333 participants were interviewed at home in 4 cities of São Paulo, 2007. Variables in the use of cancer screening, disabilities, gender, age, family head’s income, ethnicity, use of health services, assistance required, private health insurance, and coverage by the family health program were studied according to frequencies, percentages, χ2-test, χ2-test for trend, and Odds Ratios (OR). Results. 44% of the PwD attended at least one cancer screening at the appropriate time. Persons with visual disabilities (OR=5.0); and with hearing disabilities (OR=5.91) made more screening examinations than those with mobility disabilities. Women were attended in screening exams more than men (OR=18.75). Persons between the ages of 21 and 60 were attended for cancer screening (OR=4.04) more frequently than those between 80 and 97 years. Conclusions. The outcomes indicate that PwD have different attitudes toward cancer screening according to the disability, gender, and age, which had directly influence on participation in cancer screening.
