Inhalt: Objective: To investigate the characteristics of pregnant for the first time attended at prenatal; identify the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant for the first time attended consultations in prenatal care. Method: A descriptive, quantitative, retrospective, held at a University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro. The charts of women pregnant for the first time attended from 2008 to 2009 were analyzed with descriptive statistics support. Results: There were 264 (56,3%) admissions of pregnants for the first time. Were part of the sample set 105 records. In this group, 43 (40,9%) women showed in the edema, 2 (1,9%) had proteinuria, 29 (27,6%) had no abnormalities of blood pressure measurements. Conclusion: In the analyzed sample there was no record of preeclampsia, however 41 (38,9%) women showed changes compatible with BP Disease Specific Hypertension in Pregnancy (HDP). Nurses have an important role in the multidisciplinary team, for early detection of complications during pregnancy contributes to reducing the incidence of maternal mortality and morbidity.

Inhalt: Objective: To identify the socioeconomic and behavioral profile of pregnant women cared for in prenatal nursing consultations at a basic health unit in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Method: Quantitative, documental and retrospective research. Eighty-eight nursing records were collected from medical data of pregnant women cared for from January 2009 to November 2010. Descriptive statistics was used for data analysis. Results: The predominance was: young pregnant women, married, housewives, with low level of education; family incomes of up to two minimum wages; basic sanitation available; no consumption of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs; diversified diet; restricted physical activity; regular dental care; need for reinforcement of tetanus immunity; first prenatal consult with less than 20 weeks; and planned pregnancy. Conclusion: The identification of pregnant women's characteristics allows identifying their main needs. This could be used for promotion of health by improving prenatal care.

Inhalt: Aim: In view of increasing concern about a two-class system in the German health care sector, this study investigates the relevance of health insurance schemes and other socioeconomic characteristics to the level of specialist health care provision. Subjects and Methods: Referring to Ronald M. Andersen’s model of health care utilization and more content-based approaches, we implement a negative binomial hurdle regression to estimate the number of specialist visits within the last 12 months. Our data source is the German sample of the first wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) in 2004. Results: The results show that men’s number of specialist visits is markedly sensitive to predisposing and enabling factors, whereas women’s health care utilization depends less on such socioeconomic characteristics. With reference to previous findings concerning general practitioner consultation, the assumption of a bipolar health care system providing general practitioner care primarily to the statutory insured and specialist care to the privately insured is supported empirically as to men. Education, which is considered to be highly correlated with health lifestyles, has a positive effect on medical health care. Every additional year of education increases by about 10% the probability of men seeking specialist consultation. Furthermore, the results indicate an unfavorable situation for the self-employed concerning health care because of their specific employment situation and health insurance coverage. Discussion: The research results suggest the existence of relevant differences in the amount of specialist consultation according to health insurance and other socioeconomic features. Further research could concentrate on the question of whether these inequalities in utilization levels indicate overprovision or underprovision of ambulant health care. Moreover, we recommend longitudinal research that is particularly suited to detangle age and cohort effects.

Inhalt: Zur Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Ausländerdiskriminierung und arbeitsbedingten Gesundheitsrisiken wird zunächst allgemein die Entwicklung der gesundheitlichen Lage der Ausländer dargestellt. Dabei wird ein globaler Trend zur eklatanten Verschlechterung der gesundheitlichen Lage der ausländischen Arbeitnehmer in unserem Land gegenüber den Anfangsjahren der Migration festgestellt. In Abgrenzung zu stigmatisierenden Deutungsmustern wird dann der Einfluß der strukturellen Ungleichheit der Arbeitsmigranten hinsichtlich Belastungen und Zumutungen in der Arbeitswelt auf ihre Gesundheitschancen und Erkrankungsrisiken untersucht. Aus der Ungleichverteilung in den Beschäftigungschancen werden erste plausible Erklärungen für die überdurchschnittlichen Erkrankungsrisiken der Ausländer entwickelt. Dabei stellt sich heraus, daß nicht alle Ausländer gleich betroffen sind: Besonders benachteiligt in bezug auf Gesundheitschancen und Erkrankungsrisiken sind einerseits die Türken und andererseits die ausländischen Frauen. Aufgrund der herausgearbeiteten Ursachen ausländerspezifischer Gesundheitsrisiken werden dann Maßnahmen diskutiert, die über die üblicherweise als Ergebnis der Ausländergesundheitsforschung im Vordergrund stehenenden Forderungen nach einer Verbesserung der sozialen und medizinischen Versorgung und einer systematischen Berücksichtigung kultureller und sozialer Besonderheiten des ausländischen Patientenkollektivs hinausreichen.
