Abstract

Introduction: Pelvic chronic pain is one of the most common disease among women of reproductive age, and like most of them, have a direct impact on marital life, social and professional woman. The impact of pain on work performance of women directly affects household economic activity, since, currently, the woman is a substantial part of household income. Occupational therapy by the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance holistic dimensions of the individual in the three areas of occupational performance: self-care, productivity and leisure; and from the viewpoint of the pain study, occupational therapy procedures include the evaluation of the multitude of physical, environmental and psychosocial factors aggravated by pain in many contexts individual\'s performance. Objective: To characterize the occupational performance of women with DPC met in a tertiary center and the association between occupational limitations with the presence of chronic pelvic pain, the degree of kinesiophobia and psychological symptoms. Methods: Qualitative descriptive cross-sectional study. 150 women were collected, of which 75 women with CPP (group: pain) and 75 healthy women (group: healthy), all participants were given free and informed consent form. The calculation of sample size was performed on proportions with margin of error relative in infinite populations by the following expression: n = (z 2 q) / (2 · p). Reviews and scales used were: Visual analogue scale VAS (visual analogue scale), Face Scale, Health Questionnaires patient: PHQ-4 (Patient Health Questionnaire), SRQ (Self-report Questionnaire), Scale Tampa kinesiophobia, Measurement Canada Occupational Performance (COPM). Data were recorded on a specific form. The normal distribution was evaluated variables by D\'Agostino and Pearson test. To investigate the association between groups and qualitative variables we used Fisher\'s exact test or chi-square when more relevant. Result: Women with DPC are inserted into fewer in the labor market compared to healthy women, and have more sleep disturbances and history of abdominal surgery, and have above average scores on the PHQ-4 tests, SRQ and Tampa, time of pain (M) was 108 months and the VAS (M) 74. Women with DPC care less about the \"self-care\" in the three subcategories of \"self-care\" women with DPC emphasize less important. In the category \"productivity\" the level of importance is homogeneous, but despite women with CPP are outnumbered in the labor market, in the subcategory \"work\" both groups have concerns about their work activities, regarding the \"housekeeping\" women with CPP are more concerned than women with healthy and the opposite occurs in \"duties\". In the last category analyzed both groups reveal the \"leisure\" and its 10 three major subcategories of homogeneous manner. The performance and satisfaction of women with CPP is less than the average of the group Healthy women. Conclusion: The performance and satisfaction of women with CPP are harmed due mainly to DPC. Changes in previous abdominal surgery and sleep, can be directly related to DPC. These women exhibit behavior such as loss of identity, social isolation, coping and social pain. The CAP survey suggests that women with CPP have fear when performing their activities. Our work tries to fill a gap in the literature on occupational performance in women with chronic pelvic pain, because little is known about the disease and how much interferes with the work performance of those women.
