COMPARAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE DE VIDA ENTRE GESTANTES E GESTANTES DE RISCO ATRAVÉS DO QUESTIONÁRIO WHOQOL BREVE

Abstract

Quality is understood in a positive or negative way according to how it is influenced in some aspects that interfere directly in our life, being social, physical, psychological and environmental aspects. Gestation can be considered a non-risk when the woman presents no complications until the moment of delivery, which differs from a gestation of risk when the woman manifests some dysfunction that can harm the integrity of the fetus and itself. The Quality of Life analysis questionnaire was applied to two groups totaling 30 pregnant women. The instrument used was the WHOQOL-breve questionnaire validated in the Brazilian version, which analyzes five domains related to quality of life. Data analysis was performed through mean and standard deviation by the Excel program that showed the results of each domain, and these values were released and analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5% probability. It was verified that out of a total of 30, 19 pregnant women at risk (63.3%) and 11 non-pregnant women (36.7%) were found. The mean age for pregnant women at risk was 29.2 and for non-risk women was 31.2. The mean gestational age for pregnant women at risk was 26.1 and for non-pregnant women at 33.5. It was concluded that non-risk pregnant women and pregnant women presented a relatively equal quality of life for all aspects presented. Therefore, it is observed that properly controlled risk factors do not interfere in the quality of life that the pregnant women reported, justifying the results obtained during the research.
