Avaliação do grau de conhecimento dos usuários assistidos por uma unidade docente assistencial e policlínica sobre a dengue

Avaliar o conhecimento dos usuários sobre a dengue. Estudo transversal, observacional e prospectivo, realizado de agosto de 2021 a maio de 2022, envolvendo usuários do SUS frequentadores da UDA e da Policlínica de um curso de medicina do Nordeste Brasileiro a partir da análise estatística dos dados junto à contribuição para educação em saúde através de uma cartilha sobre Dengue. O estudo envolveu 25 usuários. Mais de 75% entendem a transmissão, prevenção, risco de mortalidade e internação. Cerca de 60% nunca assistiu ações em saúde e 30% dos que participaram deram nota 10 ao aprendizado. Aproximadamente 84% preferiu palestra expositiva e 32% mesa redonda. Evidenciou-se conhecimento básico sobre a dengue. Poucos usuários participaram das ações, contudo, a maioria quer assistir ou participaria novamente. Os formatos de discussão preferido foram palestra expositiva e mesa redonda. Ao compreender o conhecimento dessa população e a efetividade dos métodos de educação em saúde usados, é possível obter um direcionamento para encontrar estratégias para maior controle das doenças infecto contagiosas, em especial as arboviroses, em benefício da saúde pública

Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents’ growth and development

AbstractOptimal growth and development in childhood and adolescence is crucial for lifelong health and well-being1–6. Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight from 71 million participants, to report the height and body-mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents aged 5–19 years on the basis of rural and urban place of residence in 200 countries and territories from 1990 to 2020. In 1990, children and adolescents residing in cities were taller than their rural counterparts in all but a few high-income countries. By 2020, the urban height advantage became smaller in most countries, and in many high-income western countries it reversed into a small urban-based disadvantage. The exception was for boys in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and in some countries in Oceania, south Asia and the region of central Asia, Middle East and north Africa. In these countries, successive cohorts of boys from rural places either did not gain height or possibly became shorter, and hence fell further behind their urban peers. The difference between the age-standardized mean BMI of children in urban and rural areas was &lt;1.1 kg m–2 in the vast majority of countries. Within this small range, BMI increased slightly more in cities than in rural areas, except in south Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and some countries in central and eastern Europe. Our results show that in much of the world, the growth and developmental advantages of living in cities have diminished in the twenty-first century, whereas in much of sub-Saharan Africa they have amplified.</jats:p

Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: a pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults

Background Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that measured height and weight in representative samples of the general population. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in the prevalence of different BMI categories, separately for adults (age ≥20 years) and school-aged children and adolescents (age 5–19 years), from 1990 to 2022 for 200 countries and territories. For adults, we report the individual and combined prevalence of underweight (BMI 2 SD above the median). Findings From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of underweight and obesity in adults decreased in 11 countries (6%) for women and 17 (9%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 that the observed changes were true decreases. The combined prevalence increased in 162 countries (81%) for women and 140 countries (70%) for men with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. In 2022, the combined prevalence of underweight and obesity was highest in island nations in the Caribbean and Polynesia and Micronesia, and countries in the Middle East and north Africa. Obesity prevalence was higher than underweight with posterior probability of at least 0·80 in 177 countries (89%) for women and 145 (73%) for men in 2022, whereas the converse was true in 16 countries (8%) for women, and 39 (20%) for men. From 1990 to 2022, the combined prevalence of thinness and obesity decreased among girls in five countries (3%) and among boys in 15 countries (8%) with a posterior probability of at least 0·80, and increased among girls in 140 countries (70%) and boys in 137 countries (69%) with a posterior probability of at least 0·80. The countries with highest combined prevalence of thinness and obesity in school-aged children and adolescents in 2022 were in Polynesia and Micronesia and the Caribbean for both sexes, and Chile and Qatar for boys. Combined prevalence was also high in some countries in south Asia, such as India and Pakistan, where thinness remained prevalent despite having declined. In 2022, obesity in school-aged children and adolescents was more prevalent than thinness with a posterior probability of at least 0·80 among girls in 133 countries (67%) and boys in 125 countries (63%), whereas the converse was true in 35 countries (18%) and 42 countries (21%), respectively. In almost all countries for both adults and school-aged children and adolescents, the increases in double burden were driven by increases in obesity, and decreases in double burden by declining https://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/images/research_banner_face_lab_290.jpgunderweight or thinness. Interpretation The combined burden of underweight and obesity has increased in most countries, driven by an increase in obesity, while underweight and thinness remain prevalent in south Asia and parts of Africa. A healthy nutrition transition that enhances access to nutritious foods is needed to address the remaining burden of underweight while curbing and reversing the increase in obesity

Estudo sobre a perceção de stress e de saúde mental, estilos de coping e atitudes face à procura de apoio psicológico profissional nos adultos portugueses

Dissertação de Mestrado realizada sob a orientação do Professor Doutor José Luís Pais Ribeiro, apresentada no Ispa - Instituto Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Clínica.O propósito deste trabalho foi o de perscrutar o estado psicológico dos adultos portugueses, mediante a análise da perceção de stress e da saúde mental, dos estilos de coping e das atitudes face à procura de apoio psicológico profissional. 615 portugueses, com média de idades de 38,75 anos (DP=14,88) completaram as escalas de stress percebido (PSS-10) e de estilos de coping (BriefCOPE) e autoavaliaram a sua saúde mental por um único item. As atitudes face à procura de apoio psicológico profissional foram medidas pela escala Attitude towards Seeking Professional Psychological Help – Short Form (ATSPPH-SF), cuja adaptação para a população portuguesa fez parte do presente estudo. Os resultados da adaptação da ATSPPH-SF para a população portuguesa validaram a estrutura unifatorial como medida de atitudes global, e a estrutura de dois fatores, Valor da procura de tratamento e Abertura ao tratamento para problemas emocionais. Os portugueses avaliaram favoravelmente o apoio psicológico profissional, principalmente as mulheres e quem já recorreu a esse serviço; os mais jovens e sujeitos com maior nível de escolaridade dão maior valor ao apoio psicológico profissional. Evidenciou-se uma associação negativa entre o stress percebido e a autoavaliação da saúde mental. A grande maioria dos participantes apresentou níveis moderados de stress e autoavaliou como positivo o seu estado psicológico. Os grupos com valores de maior stress e saúde mental mais medíocre foram as mulheres, os mais jovens, as pessoas com doenças graves e aqueles com apoio psicológico profissional, que também são os que mais usam estilos de coping não adaptativos. Ainda assim, os estilos adaptativos parecem ser mais usados, com maior recurso ao coping ativo, ao planeamento e à reinterpretação positiva, em contraste com os menos valorados, como o uso de substâncias, desinvestimento comportamental e a negação. Os resultados evidenciaram que os estilos de coping são mediadores na relação entre a autoavaliação da saúde mental e o stress percebido. Este estudo contribuiu para a literatura com a adaptação da escala de atitudes face à procura de apoio psicológico profissional para a população geral portuguesa. Os resultados permitem refletir sobre o estado psicológico dos portugueses, podendo repercutir-se em programas de saúde pública direcionados para as populações identificadas como mais vulneráveis e para os menos dispostos a ter acompanhamento psicológico profissional.ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to explore the psychological state of Portuguese adults by means of an examination of their perceptions of stress and mental health, their coping styles, and their attitudes towards seeking professional psychological assistance. A total of 615 Portuguese adults, with an average age of 38.75 (SD = 14.88), participated in this study. They completed assessments related to perceived stress (PSS-10) and coping styles (BriefCOPE). Furthermore, participants evaluated their own mental health using a single-item measure. Attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help were assessed using the Attitude towards Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale– Short Form (ATSPPH-SF), which adaptation for the portuguese population is part of the present research. The results of the ATSPPHS-SF’s adaptation for the portuguese population validated a unifactorial structure for measuring overall attitudes, and a two-factor structure for the dimensions of Value of treatment and Openness to seeking mental healthcare for one’s own emotional problems. Portuguese participants exhibited a positive evaluation towards professional psychological support, which was more pronounced among women and those who had previously sought such services. Additionally, younger individuals and those with higher levels of education demonstrated better appreciation for professional psychological support. A negative association was established between perceived stress and self-rated mental health. Most of the participants reported moderate stress levels and a good self-perception of their mental health. Noteworthy demographic groups exhibiting higher stress levels and poorer mental health evaluations involved women, younger individuals, individuals with severe illnesses, and those who had previously professional psychological help. This latter group also exhibited a propensity for maladaptive coping styles. Adaptive coping styles, such as active coping, planning, and positive reframing, were more adopted, contrasting with less used including substance use, behavioural disengagement, and denial. The results indicated that the repertoire of coping styles had an impact on mental health by reducing or increasing perceived stress. This study contributed to the literature with the adaptation of the scale ATSPPH-SF for the broader Portuguese population. The findings provide insights into the psychological well being of the Portuguese populace, with potential implications for public health programs that aim to assist populations identified as being more susceptible and less inclined to seek professional psychological support
