Resumo: This study aims to analyse aspects related to the lack of investigation of foetal and infant deaths in the Jequitinhonha Valley, State of Minas Gerais. This is an ecological study whose unit of analysis were the 33 municipalities in the Extended Jequitinhonha Health Region. A questionnaire was applied to a member of the Infant and Foetal Death Prevention Committee of each municipality. The questions were related to the committees' structure, mechanisms of infant death investigation, difficulties related to the investigation of deaths, and avoidable criteria between 2007 and 2012. A descriptive analysis with simple frequencies aiming at profiling the studied municipalities was performed. Of the 598 infant and 477foetal deaths registered, only 22.2% and 18.4%, respectively, were investigated. The researchers detected that infrastructure, technical, operational and policy issues interfered with the investigation. Although required by law, the investigation over infant and foetal deaths is deficient. This led to a large number of deaths being left uninvestigated. Such situation may hinder programmes for the reduction of infant and foetal mortality and the quality of childcare.

MÉTODOS: Se trata de un estudio ecológico, las unidades de análisis fueron los 33 municipios de la Región de Salud extendido Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais. En estos municipios se aplicó un cuestionario a un miembro de la Prevención del Nino y el Comité de Muerte Fetal. Como instrumentos de recolección, se utilizó un cuestionario con preguntas sobre la composición de los comités, los mecanismos de investigación de muerte infantil, dificuladoresfactores para la investigación de las muertes evitables, entre otros criterios, entre los anos 2007-2012, elaborado en base a la literatura y con la ayuda de expertos e investigadores en el área. El análisis se realizó mediante estadística descriptiva, con frecuencias simples, con el fin de describir el perfil de los municipios estudiados. RESULTADOS: De los 598 ninos y 477 muertes fetales registradas, sólo el 22,2% y 18,4%, respectivamente, fueron investigados. Encontrado la existencia de problemas de infraestructura, técnica-operativa y política interfirió con la práctica de la investigación. CONCLUSIÓN: la puesta en práctica de la investigación en los ninos y la muerte fetal, si bien exige la ley, presenta deficiencias que lleva un gran número de muertes no investigadas en el período de estudio, lo que puede comprometer las acciones para la reducción de la mortalidad infantil y fetal y la calidad del cuidado infantil.OBJETIVO: analisar os fatores relacionados à não investigação dos óbitos fetal e infantil ocorridos no Vale do Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais. MÉTODOS: trata-se de estudo ecológico que teve, como unidades de análise, todos os 33 municípios da Região Ampliada de Saúde Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais. Nesses municípios foi aplicado um questionário a um membro do Comitê de Prevenção do Óbito Infantil e Fetal com questões sobre a composição dos comitês, mecanismos de investigação do óbito infantil, fatores dificultadores para a investigação dos óbitos e critérios de evitabilidade entre os anos 2007 e 2012. Foi feita análise descritiva com frequências simples, com o intuito de descrever o perfil dos municípios estudados. RESULTADOS: dos 598 óbitos infantis e 477 fetais registrados, apenas 22,2 e 18,4% foram investigados, respectivamente. Constatou-se a existência de problemas de infraestrutura, técnico-operacionais e políticos que interferiram na prática de investigação. CONCLUSÃO: a operacionalização da investigação do óbito infantil e fetal, apesar de exigido por lei, apresenta deficiências, o que acarreta elevado número de óbitos não investigados no período do estudo, o que poderá comprometer as ações para a redução da mortalidade infantil e fetal e a qualidade da assistência infantil.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2015-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/5008010.5935/1415-2762.20150046REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 19 No. 3 (2015)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 19 Núm. 3 (2015)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 19 n. 3 (2015)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50080/41168https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50080/41169https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50080/41170Copyright (c) 2015 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDutra, Izabela RochaAndrade, Gisele Nepomuceno deRezende, Edna MariaGazzinelli, Andrea2024-01-23T19:44:24Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50080Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-23T19:44:24Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
