ABSTRACT

RESUMOObjetivo:analisar a dimensionalidade, validade de constructo convergente e consistência interna do Questionário de Avaliação da Sobrecarga do Cuidador Informal (QASCI) após sua adaptação semântica para o Brasil.Método:este estudo metodológico foi realizado com 132 cuidadores informais de idosos com dependência nas atividades básicas ou instrumentais de vida diária, em uma capital do Nordeste. Para análise da validade de constructo convergente do QASCI foram utilizadas medidas de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde, ansiedade e depressão.Resultados:no geral, os resultados da validação de constructo do instrumento evidenciaram correlações estatisticamente significantes com as três medidas. A análise fatorial confirmatória evidenciou um bom ajuste do modelo teórico de sete fatores (domínios) da versão utilizada no grupo estudado. O alfa de Cronbach para o total da escala foi 0,92.Conclusão:a versão brasileira do QASCI mostrou-se válida e confiável na mensuração da sobrecarga de cuidadores informais de idosos.


RESUMENObjetivo:analizar la dimensionalidad, validad de constructo convergente y consistencia interna del Cuestionario de Evaluación de la Sobrecarga del Cuidador Informal (QASCI), adaptado semánticamente para Brasil.Método:estudio metodológico realizado con 132 cuidadores informales de ancianos con dependencia en actividades cotidianas básicas o instrumentales, en una capital del noreste. Para análisis de la validad de constructo convergente del QASCI, se utilizaron medidas de calidad de vida relativas a salud, ansiedad y depresión.Resultados:los resultados de la validación de constructo del instrumento evidenciaron correlaciones estadísticamente significativas con las tres medidas. El análisis factorial confirmatorio evidenció un buen ajuste del modelo teórico de siete factores (dominios) de la versión utilizada en el grupo estudiado. El alfa de Cronbach para el total de la escala fue 0,92.Conclusión:la versión brasileña del QASCI se mostró válida y confiable para mensurar la sobrecarga de cuidadores informales de ancianos.


ABSTRACTObjectives:to analyze the dimensionality, convergent construct validity and internal consistency of the Informal Caregiver Burden Assessment Questionnaire (QASCI) after its semantic adaptation to Brazil.Method:this methodological study was developed with 132 informal caregivers of elders who are dependent of help for basic or instrumental activities of daily living, in a capital city in Northeast Brazil. Quality of life measures related to health, anxiety and depression were used in the analysis of the convergent construct validity of the QASCI.Results:the results of the instrument construct validation evidenced statistically signifi cant correlations with the three measures. The confi rmatory factor analysis evidenced good adjustment of the theoretical model of seven factors (domains) of the version used in the group studied. Cronbach’s alpha for the scale total was 0.92.Conclusion:the Brazilian version of the QASCI was considered to be valid and reliable for assessing the burden of informal elder caregivers.

ABSTRACT

The diagnosis of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) is hampered by the absence of a gold standard. An accurate diagnosis is essential because of the high toxicity of the medications for the disease. This study aimed to assess the ability of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify MCL and to compare these results with clinical research recently published by the authors. A systematic literature review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: the PRISMA Statement was performed using comprehensive search criteria and communication with the authors. A meta-analysis considering the estimates of the univariate and bivariate models was performed. Specificity near 100% was common among the papers. The primary reason for accuracy differences was sensitivity. The meta-analysis, which was only possible for PCR samples of lesion fragments, revealed a sensitivity of 71% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.59; 0.81] and a specificity of 93% (95% CI = 0.83; 0.98) in the bivariate model. The search for measures that could increase the sensitivity of PCR should be encouraged. The quality of the collected material and the optimisation of the amplification of genetic material should be prioritised.
