Application of the FANTASTIC Lifestyle Questionnaire in the Academic Context

Studying citizens’ lifestyles is extremely important for understanding society and the social conditions of the personal lifestyle. Understanding the lifestyles of university students is especially important because they will be the future citizens and professionals who will shape society’s future. The aim of this study was a systematic review of the scientific literature about the use of the FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire in an academic context. The reflective systematic literature review was carried out on PubMed, MEDLINE, Science Direct, and SCIELO databases with the keywords (“FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire” OR “FANTASTICO questionnaire” OR “FANTASTIC questionnaire” OR “FANTASTIC survey” OR “FANTASTIC checklist”) AND (“university students”). The PRISMA criteria for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses were applied. The inclusion criteria were the use of the “FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire” instrument for measuring lifestyles, the presentation of quantitative or qualitative results, and psychometric studies. The exclusion criteria were no use of FANTASTIC Lifestyle Questionnaire; other population, no quantitative or qualitative analysis, incomplete articles. The 15 scientific articles included in the study were analyzed. This literature review allowed us to conclude the importance and usefulness/actuality of this questionnaire. Furthermore, the importance of diagnosis should be emphasized, as should the development of strategies and intervention programs for the maintenance or creation of healthy societies

Scrophularia valdesii Ortega Olivencia & Devesa: confirmada a presença em Portugal de mais um endemismo lusitano-duriense

A Scrophularia valdesii é endemismo Ibérico, descrito por A. ORTEGA Olivencia & J.A. Devesa [Candollea 46: 111-118 (pág. 115)], cujo tipo nomencla-tural provém do termo de Aldeadávila, no canhão do Rio Douro Internacional. J.C. Costa et al. (Quercetea 0, 1998) consideram-na como um endemismo lusitano-duriense. O elenco dos endemis-mos, ou quasi endemismos, lusitano-duriense presentes em Portugal é agora constituído pelos seguintes táxones: Anarrhinum duriminium (Brot.)

FANTASTIC lifestyle questionnaire from 1983 until 2022: A review

Background: Studying lifestyles has always been important; quantifying them has become more complex. However, a questionnaire produced in 1983 has shown that its simple form of evaluation can be an added value in understanding lifestyles. Our aim is a systematic review of the scientific literature about the use of the FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire (FLQ). Methods: The reflective systematic literature review on PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, and SCIELO databases with the descriptors "FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire" OR "FANTASTICO questionnaire" OR "FANTASTIC questionnaire" OR "FANTASTIC survey" OR "FANTASTIC checklist". PRISMA criteria reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses were applied. The inclusion criteria were the use of FLQ instrument to measure lifestyles, presenting quantitative or qualitative results, and psychometric studies. It excluded other lifestyle instruments, incomplete articles, and non-English, Brazilian, Spanish, and Portuguese language articles. Results: Findings reveal 41 scientific articles included in the study. It analyzed the results and most studies use the instrument to assess all dimensions. However, some studies reported assessing specific dimensions such as nutrition, sleep, stress, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. The questionnaire has been applied to a wide range of ages and literacy levels. Conclusion: This literature review allowed us to conclude that this questionnaire is still in use today and is applied in several contexts and populations. It is also possible to verify the relevance of its use and to design intervention strategies and programs for a healthy society. It is essential to draw attention to this issue and promote health literacy (HL) on this topic

Conservation status of the threatened Iberian Peninsula narrow endemic Antirrhinum lopesianum Rothm. (Scrophulariaceae)

Antirrhinum lopesianum Rothm. is a narrow endemic of the Lusitan Duriensean biogeographical sector (central western Spain and north-eastern Portugal). The species is listed as threatened in several Spanish documents, although it does not figure as such in any Portuguese document. This paper provides a detailed study of its distribution, estimates of the sizes of its populations, the threats it faces, and its current conservation status. The total number of individuals thought to exist is only 768, distributed along the valley of the River Duero on the Spanish – Portuguese border (562, 71.2%), and in the Portuguese Sabor River valley (206, 26.8%). The main threat to the species is loss of habitat: about one third of the Iberian populations can be considered threatened; one population containing 37.6% of all these plants (289) is severely threatened. To determine the Area of Occupancy and the Extent of Occurrence, an exhaustive bibliographical survey was carried out, and herbarium specimens deposited in several institutions were revised. It is, therefore, classifiable as Critically Endangered in Portugal and Endangered in Spai

Referral to the national network of integrated care: the nurses’ perception

Objective: to understand the referral to the National Network of Integrated Continuous Care, from the perspective of nurses who work in this care context. Method: an exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with data collection between July and September 2019 through interviews with 12 nurses who work in Integrated Continuous Care Teams, in Northern Portugal. The content analysis technique was used to analyze the statements. Results: the professionals revealed that there are difficulties and constraints in the process of referring users to the National Network of Integrated Continuous Care. The process is bureaucratic, complex, and time-consuming, conditioning user accessibility to timely care. Conclusion: the referral process is a very bureaucratic and time-consuming procedure, which not only conditions and delays users’ access to the National Network of Integrated Continuous Care network, contributing to the worsening of the clinical status of some patients. The number of professionals is insufficient, inducing the demand for services through urgency. The focus on primary care should seek to improve inequalities in access, compete for more equitable and accessible care, generating more quality in health care.Objetivo: compreender a referenciação para a Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados, a partir da perspetiva de enfermeiros que atuam nesse contexto assistencial. Método: estudo exploratório, descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, cujos dados foram coletados entre julho e setembro de 2019, por meio de entrevistas a 12 enfermeiros que trabalham em Equipes de Cuidados Continuados Integrados, do norte de Portugal. Para analisar as falas, utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Resultados: os profissionais revelaram que existem dificuldades e constrangimentos no processo de referenciação dos usuários para a Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados. O processo é burocrático, complexo e demorado, condicionando a acessibilidade dos usuários aos cuidados em tempo útil. Conclusão: o processo de referenciação é um procedimento muito burocratizado e demorado, que condiciona e atrasa o acesso dos usuários à Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados, contribuindo para o agravamento do estado clínico de alguns pacientes. O número de profissionais é insuficiente, induzindo à procura de serviços pela via da urgência. A aposta na atenção primária deverá procurar melhorar as desigualdades no acesso, concorrer para cuidados mais equitativos e acessíveis gerando mais qualidade nos cuidados de saúde.Objetivo: comprender la derivación a la Red Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados, desde la perspectiva de los enfermeros que actúan en este contexto asistencial.
