Abstract

The high incidence of obese people submitted to bariatric surgery as treatment for obesity has prompted the need to carry out a survey to ascertain the repercussions of this treatment on the health of a group of individuals subjected to such surgery. Data were collected via in-depth interviews, focusing on identification of the background to the situation that led to the decision to submit to obesity surgery and the quality of daily life after treatment. The analysis showed that the constant difficulties and frustrations in combating obesity and the expectation of the definitive cure led to the decision to submit to surgery in that group. However, life after surgery was characterized as a continuous process of challenges with further hurdles in order to learn how to live again on a day-to-day basis and return to full health. This also presents challenges for the health team as it involves greater investment in public health, improvement strategies for prevention and control of obesity of the population and comprehensive care actions for those individuals. Such complexity requires interdisciplinary expertise with an approach in line with the emotional and socio-cultural issues of this population group.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 November 2011.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#1,121
of 2,037 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#171,943
of 247,021 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#6
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,037 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 247,021 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
