Efecto de la deuda económica sobre el bienestar psicológico de los residentes de cirugía: Resultados de un estudio nacional en Colombia / Effect of financial debt on the psychological well-being of surgery residents: Results of a national study in Colombia

Introducción. La deuda económica durante la residencia en cirugía general puede afectar el desempeño profesional, las decisiones de vida y el bienestar psicológico. La información disponible en Colombia es limitada. El objetivo de este estudio fue cuantificar la deuda económica del residente de cirugía general, identificar los factores asociados y evaluar su efecto en el bienestar psicológico. Métodos. Estudio de corte transversal analítico. Se invitó a 380 residentes a diligenciar una encuesta sobre los aspectos relacionados con su deuda económica y se utilizó el WHO-index para evaluar su bienestar psicológico. Resultados. Un total de 259 residentes participaron en el estudio (67,6 %). El 56 % posee una deuda económica promedio de COP $88.000.000 ((US$21.826)). Un alto nivel de endeudamiento se relacionó con el año de residencia, el tipo de institución (privada) y la solicitud de préstamos. Se identificó algún trastorno mental en 14,7 % y un bajo nivel de bienestar psicológico en 56,4 % de los participantes. No se identificó ninguna asociación entre una elevada deuda económica y el bajo bienestar psicológico. Conclusiones. La deuda económica tiene un efecto sobre los residentes. El endeudamiento de los residentes de cirugía en Colombia es altamente prevalente, y no se correlaciona con un pobre bienestar psicológico. La autodeterminación favorece el bienestar psicológico en el posgrado en cirugía general. Existe la necesidad de educación financiera en los residentes. Se requieren nuevos estudios que evalúen las causas del pobre bienestar psicológico.

Introduction. Financial debt during surgery residency can affect professional performance, life decisions, and psychological well-being. The information available in Colombia is limited. The objective of this study is to quantify the financial debt of the general surgery resident, identify the associated factors and evaluate their effect on psychological well-being. Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 380 residents were invited to complete a survey on aspects related to their financial debt, and the WHO-index to evaluate their psychological well-being. Results. A total of 259 residents participated in the study (67.6%). 56% have an average economic debt of $88,000,000 COP (US$21,826). High debt was related to level of residence, type of institution (private), and loan application. Some mental disorder was identified in 14.7% and a low level of psychological well-being in 56.4% of the participants. No association was identified between high financial debt and low psychological well-being. Conclusions. Economic debt has an effect on residents. Financial debt among surgical residents in Colombia is highly prevalent; however, it does not correlate with poor psychological well-being. Self-determination favors psychological well-being in the postgraduate course in general surgery. Likewise, the need for financial education in residents is imminent. New studies are required that thoroughly evaluate the causes of poor well-being.

COVID-19 en sujetos de riesgo participantes en ensayos clínicos durante la pandemia en Argentina / COVID-19 in subjects at risk participating in clinical trials during the pandemic in Argentina

Resumen Introducción : Existe poca información sobre la pre sencia de COVID-19 en participantes de ensayos clínicos. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la tasa de infección acumulada por SARS-CoV-2 en esta población. Además, investigamos el riesgo, letalidad y mortalidad por CO VID-19. Métodos : Diseño observacional retrospectivo que incluyó adultos participantes en ensayos clínicos de intervención aprobados por nuestro comité de ética du rante los dos primeros años de la pandemia (31/3/2020 a 31/3/2022). Se excluyeron protocolos pediátricos, obser vacionales, de corta duración y con sujetos internados. Resultados : Se incluyeron 513 sujetos adultos que participaron en ensayos clínicos durante ese período de la pandemia por COVID-19. Los pacientes con CO VID-19 se caracterizaron por tener una edad de 59.7 ± 13.7 años (50% sexo femenino) y el 92% presentó riesgo incrementado de letalidad por COVID-19. La tasa acu mulada de COVID-19 fue de 9.74% (IC 95%: 7.32-12.64%) que se situó por debajo del 17% de la población de 60 a 69 años de la Argentina (p<0.0001). La tasa de letalidad por COVID-19 fue de 14% (IC 95%: 5.8-26.7), que se situó por encima del 2.45% de la población de 50 a 69 años de la Argentina (p<0.0001). Conclusión : La tasa de COVID-19 en los sujetos adultos participantes de ensayos clínicos estuvo por debajo de las cifras de la población argentina de simi lar edad. La tasa de letalidad estuvo por encima de las cifras poblacionales y se explica por el alto riesgo de esa población.

Abstract Introduction : There is little information on the pres ence of COVID-19 in clinical trial participants. The objec tive of the study was to evaluate the cumulative infec tion rate for SARS-CoV-2 in this population. Additionally, we investigated the risk, lethality, and mortality from COVID-19. Methods : The design was observational retrospective that included adult subjects participating in clinical intervention trials approved by our ethics committee during the first two years of the pandemic (March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2022). Pediatric, observational, short-term, and inpatient protocols were excluded. Results : We included 513 adult subjects who par ticipated in clinical trials during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients with COVID-19 were characterized as being 59.7 ± 13.7 years old (50% fe male), and 92% had an increased risk of fatality from COVID-19. The cumulative rate of COVID-19 was 9.74% (95% CI: 7.32-12.64%) and its confidence intervals were below 17% of the population aged 60 to 69 in Argentina (p<0.0001). The case fatality rate for COVID-19 was 14% (95% CI: 5.8%-26.7%) and its confidence intervals were above 2.45% of the population aged 50 to 69 in Argentina (p< 0.0001). Conclusion : The rate of COVID-19 in adult subjects participating in clinical trials was below the figures for the Argentine population of similar age. The fatality rate was above the population figures, and it is explained by the high risk of the population.

Racial discrimination predicts the increase in body weight and BMI in Black individuals from ELSA-Brasil cohort / Discriminação racial prediz o aumento do peso corporal e do IMC em indivíduos pretos da coorte ELSA-Brasil

Abstract We investigated whether racial discrimination accelerates the weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) gain in Blacks and Browns participants of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) in four years of follow-up. We compared body weight and BMI between the 1st (2008-2010) and 2nd visit (2012-2014) of 5,983 Blacks and Browns participants. Exposure to racial discrimination and covariates (age, sex, education, and research center) were obtained at the 1st visit. Linear mixed effects models stratified by race/skin color were used. Report of racial discrimination was more frequent among Blacks (32.1%) than Browns (6.3%). During the follow-up period, Blacks and Browns gained an average of 1.4kg and 1.2kg, respectively. This increase was greater among those who reported discrimination when compared to those who did not, both in Blacks (2.1kg vs.1.0kg, p < 0.001) and Browns (1.9kg vs. 1.1kg, p < 0.05). The results of the interaction between racial discrimination and time showed that Blacks, but not Browns, who reported racial discrimination had greater weight and BMI gains between visits. Our results suggest that reducing racial discrimination would contribute to prevent and/or control obesity increase in the country.

Resumo Investigou-se se a discriminação racial acelera o ganho de peso corporal e o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) em pretos e pardos participantes do Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil) em quatro anos de seguimento. Comparou-se o peso corporal e o IMC entre a 1ª (2008-2010) e a 2ª visita (2012-2014) de 5.983 participantes pretos e pardos. A exposição à discriminação racial e às covariáveis ​​(idade, sexo, escolaridade e centro de pesquisa) foram obtidas na 1ª visita. Foram utilizados modelos lineares de efeitos mistos estratificados por raça/cor da pele. O relato de discriminação racial foi mais frequente entre pretos (32,1%) do que em pardos (6,3%). Durante o período de acompanhamento, pretos e pardos ganharam uma média de 1,4kg e 1,2kg, respectivamente. Esse aumento foi maior entre os que relataram discriminação, quando comparados aos que não relataram, tanto em pretos (2,1 kg vs. 1,0 kg, p < 0,001) quanto em pardos (1,9kg vs. 1,1kg, p < 0,05). Após ajustes, os pretos, mas não os pardos, que relataram discriminação racial apresentaram maiores ganhos de peso e IMC entre as visitas. Nossos resultados sugerem que a redução da discriminação racial pode contribuir para prevenir e/ou controlar o aumento da obesidade no país.

La percepción de un futuro significativo y su relación con el autoconcepto y las experiencias positivas durante pandemia de covid-19 en estudiantes de nivel superior

Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre las experiencias en las actividades de disfrute, la claridad en el autoconcepto y la percepción de un futuro significativo en jóvenes que cursan estudios superiores durante la pandemia de covid-19. Método: Participantes: estudiantes (n = 228), de ambos sexos de distintas carreras de nivel superior de Buenos Aires. Instrumentos: Cuestionario sociodemográfico. Cuestionario de los posibles sí mismos. Escala de propósito vital para estudiantes universitarios. Escala de claridad en el autoconcepto. Escala de Disfrute en la Actividad. Escala de Autorrealización en la Actividad. Escala de Indicadores Físicos y Psicoemocionales de Estrés. Resultados: más de la mitad de los estudiantes (65,8 %) percibe grandes cambios en su actividad de disfrute durante la cuarentena, pero estos no se relacionan con la percepción de un futuro significativo. La claridad en el autoconcepto predice la probabilidad de alcanzar los posibles sí mismos deseados y la búsqueda de propósito vital. La claridad, el afecto positivo y la autorrealización predicen la identificación de propósito vital. Las variables estudiadas se asocian a menores síntomas de estrés. Conclusión: los resultados muestran la necesidad de favorecer estas experiencias, así como la exploración del autoconocimiento, valores e intereses, que promuevan la identificación de metas, como factor de protección frente a los efectos y consecuencias del contexto actual.

Objective: Analyze the relationship between experiences in enjoyment activities, self-concept clarity and the perception of a significant future in young people who are pursuing higher education during the covid-19 pandemic. Method: Participants: students (n = 228), of both sexes who were studying different higher-level careers in Buenos Aires. Instruments: Sociodemographic questionnaire. Possible Selves Questionnaire. Purpose in Life Scale for College Students. Self-concept clarity Scale. Scale of Enjoyment in Activity, Scale of Personal Achievement. Scale of Physical and Psychoemotional Indicators of Stress. Results: More than a half of the students (65,8 %) perceive great changes in their enjoyment activity during the quarantine, but these are not related to the perception of a significant future. Self-concept clarity predicts the probability of attaining possible desired selves and the pursuit of purpose in life Clarity, positive affect, and self-actualization predict purpose in life identification. The variables studied are associated with fewer stress symptoms. Conclusion: The results show the need to favor these experiences, as well as the exploration of self-knowledge, values and interests, which promote the identification of goals, as a protective factor against the effects and consequences of the current context.

Síndrome de Nicolau / Nicolau syndrome

Resumen El síndrome de Nicolau es una complicación infrecuente de la aplicación parenteral de diversos fármacos. Se caracteriza por la aparición de dolor, seguido de edema, eritema y luego una placa necrótica. Se reporta el caso de un hombre de 31 años que presenta este síndrome luego de la aplicación de penicilina benzatínica intramuscular. La biopsia apoyó el diagnóstico. Recibió tratamiento con enoxaparina y cilostazol con posterior mejoría.

Abstract Nicolau syndrome is a rare complication of the parenteral application of various drugs. It is char acterized by the appearance of pain, followed by edema, erythema, and then a necrotic plaque. We present the case of a 31-year-old male with this syndrome, after the application of intramuscular benzathine penicillin. The diagnosis was supported by the biopsy. He received treatment with enoxaparin and cilostazol with subsequent improvement.

Rasch development and validation of the “Medellín Dry Eye Inventory” (ME·Dry), an instrument to measure multidimensional quality of life compromise in patients with dry eye disease

Purpose: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common condition that affects the quality of life. There is a great need for better?developed scales that comply with Rasch model requirements. Methods: Prospective study including patients with DED. A series of focus groups were performed to determine the best items to be included. A Rasch modeling methodology was used to validate the Medellín Dry Eye Inventory (ME·Dry). After iterative analysis and scale modification, a final version of the scale was attained which complied with the Rasch analysis expectations. Correlation between the different subscales of the ME·Dry and the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) was evaluated through Spearman correlation. Results: A total of 166 patients with DED were included. Rasch modeling demonstrated an excellent behavior for the ME·Dry, including four subscales: Symptoms, Triggers, Activity Limitation, and Emotional Compromise. Infit and Outfit parameters were all between 0.50 and 1.50, with excellent category utilization. Person and item separation and reliability were excellent for all subscales. There was a need for a category collapsing for the Emotional Compromise subscale. There was a strong correlation between the different subscales of the ME·Dry except for the Emotional Compromise subscale, which seems to be independent. Conclusion: The ME·Dry is a reliable scale, complying with the Rasch model expectations, that allows for a reliable measurement of quality of life compromise in patients with DED. Emotional compromise secondary to DED does not seem to correlate with disease severity as assessed by the other quality?of?life subscales.

Relación estructura-función de la enzima uroporfirinógeno descarboxilasa: implicancias para la comprensión y el tratamiento de la porfiria cutánea tarda / Structure-function relationship of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase: implications for the understanding and treatment of porphyria cutanea tarda / Relação estrutura-função da enzima uroporfirinogênio descarbioxilase: implicações para a compreensão e tratamento da porfiria cutânea tardia / Reconocimiento a la trayectoria del Prof. Dr. Juan Miguel Castagnino†

Resumen La uroporfirinógeno descarboxilasa humana (UROD-h) es la quinta enzima del camino biosintético del hemo y su actividad deficiente, relacionada a mutaciones en su gen, se encuentra asociada a un subgrupo de porfirias. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la relación entre la dimerización de la enzima y su actividad enzimática y comprobar si la dimerización de UROD-h es imprescindible tanto para la primera etapa de la reacción (urogen→heptagen), como para la segunda etapa (heptagen→coprogen). Con ese objetivo, se expresó y purificó la UROD-h hasta homogeneidad, se analizó el comportamiento dímero-monómero bajo distintas condiciones que pudieran desplazar el equilibrio de dimerización y se evaluó la actividad enzimática en dichas condiciones. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que la especie activa para la primera etapa de la reacción es el homodímero y que tanto el dímero como el monómero se comportan como especies activas para la segunda etapa de la reacción. Se propone que mutaciones clínicas como la Y311C, existentes en pacientes con porfiria cutánea tarda, podrían afectar la estabilidad del dímero y podrían ser el blanco para futuras terapias génicas.

Abstract Human uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD-h) is the fifth enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway and its deficient activity, related to mutations in its gene, is associated with a subset of porphyrias. The objective of this work was to study the relationship between the dimerisation of the enzyme and its enzymatic activity and to verify if the dimerisation of UROD-h is essential both for the first stage of the reaction (urogen→heptagen), and for the second stage (heptagen→ coprogen). With this objective, the UROD-h was expressed and purified to homogeneity, the dimer- monomer behaviour was analysed under different conditions, which could shift the dimerisation equilibrium, and the enzymatic activity was evaluated under these conditions. The results obtained suggest that the active species for the first stage of the reaction is the homodimer, and both the dimer and the monomer behaved as active species for the second stage of the reaction. It is proposed that clinical mutations such as Y311C, existing in porphyria cutanea tarda patients, could affect dimer stability and could be the target of future gene therapies.

Resumo A enzima uroporfirinogênio descarboxilase humana (UROD-h) é a quinta enzima da via biossintética do heme e sua atividade deficiente, relacionada com mutações em seu gene, está associada a um subgrupo de porfirias. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a relação entre a dimerização da enzima e sua atividade enzimática e comprovar se a dimerização da UROD-h é imprescindível tanto para a primeira etapa da reação (urogênio→heptagênio), quanto para a segunda etapa (heptagênio→coprogênio). Com esse objetivo, a UROD-h foi expressa e purificada até a homogeneidade, o comportamento de dímero-monômero foi analisado sob diversas condições, que puderam deslocar o equilíbrio de dimerização, e a atividade enzimática foi avaliada em tais condições. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a espécie ativa para a primeira etapa da reação é o homodímero, e tanto o dímero quanto o monômero se comportam como espécies ativas para a segunda etapa da reação. Propõe-se que mutações clínicas como Y311C, existentes em pacientes com porfiria cutânea tardia, poderiam afetar a estabilidade do dímero e poderiam ser o alvo de futuras terapias gênicas em porfiria cutânea tardia.

¿Ha disminuido la colectomía por crisis de colitis ulcerosa?

Background: Treatment for moderate-severe active ulcerative colitis (UC) includes steroids, biologic therapy and total colectomy. Aim: To describe the features of patients with moderate to severe active UC, their hospital evolution and need for colectomy. Material and Methods: Non-concurrent cohort study of all patients admitted to our institution with a diagnosis of moderate or severe UC crisis between January 2008 and May 2019. Truelove Witts (TW) criteria were used to categorize disease severity. Twelve-month colectomy-free survival was estimated with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: One hundred-twenty patients aged 16 to 89 (median 35) years had 160 admissions for acute moderate to severe UC. Median admission per patient was 1 (1-3), and median hospital stay was six days (1-49). Cytomegalovirus and Clostridioides difficile were found in 17.5 and 14.2% of crises, respectively. Corticosteroids were used in all crises and biologic therapy in 6.9% of them. Emergency or elective colectomies were performed in 18.3 and 6.7% of patients, respectively. The need for emergency total colectomy decreased from 24.6 to 7.8% (Risk ratio 3.16, p < 0.01) between de first and second half of the study period. Kaplan-Meier analysis for long term colectomy-free survival in both periods confirmed this decrease (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Medical treatment for moderate to severe UC crises had a 86.3% success and a small percentage required emergency total colectomy. Emergency surgery decreased in the last decade.

Impact of socioeconomic factors on lifestyle changes among employees of public higher education institutions in ELSA-Brasil during COVID-19 pandemic / Impacto de fatores socioeconômicos na mudança do estilo de vida de funcionários de instituições públicas de Ensino Superior no ELSA-Brasil durante a pandemia de COVID-19 / Impacto de los factores socioeconómicos en el cambio del estilo de vida de los funcionarios en instituciones públicas de educación superior en ELSA-Brasil durante la pandemia de la COVID-19

Abstract: This study aimed to identify lifestyle changes and associated sociodemographic factors in women and men participating in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study for Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) cohort during the COVID-19 pandemic. Longitudinal study with 3,776 (aged 58.8 years; SD ± 8.5) employees of public higher education institutions in the second follow-up and the wave-COVID of ELSA-Brasil. Data collected using structured questionnaires. An exploratory analysis was performed using binary and multinomial logistic regression on the dependent variables with two and three categories, respectively, by obtaining crude and adjusted odds ratio estimates in SPSS 20.0, considering a p-value < 0.05. There was a reduction in physical activity of 195.5 (SD ± 1,146.4) metabolic equivalents per week in women and 240.5 (SD ± 1,474.2) in men, and in smoking by 15.2%. There was an increase in alcohol consumption in men and women (434.2 ± 5,144.0; and 366.1 ± 4,879.0, respectively), in the food quality score (0.8 ± 3.7, women; 0.5 ± 3.7, men), sleeping time (0.4 ± 1.2, women; 0.5 ± 1.1, men), screen time (1.7 ± 2.4, women; 1.4 ± 2.3, men), and sitting time (1.7 ± 2.6, women; 1.5 ± 2.4, men) (hours/day). In total, 18.6% increased the purchase of ultra-processed foods and 36% increased the purchase of natural foods. Age and work activity contributed to increase the chance of purchasing ultra-processed foods, and age and adherence to social distancing influenced the shift to a more sedentary behavior, while income and active work favored the increase in alcoholic beverage consumption. These factors should be considered when developing public policies to avoid individual behaviors that are harmful to health during pandemics.

Estudo longitudinal com 3.776 (58,8 anos; DP ± 8,5) funcionários de instituições públicas de Ensino Superior no segundo acompanhamento e na onda COVID do ELSA-Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários estruturados. Foi realizada análise exploratória por meio de regressão logística binária e multinomial nas variáveis dependentes com duas e três categorias, respectivamente, obtendo-se estimativas brutas e ajustadas de odds ratio no SPSS 20.0, considerando um valor de p < 0,05. Houve redução da atividade física de 195,5 (DP ± 1.146,4) equivalentes metabólicos por semana nas mulheres e de 240,5 (DP ± 1.474,2) nos homens, e do tabagismo de 15,2%. Houve aumento do consumo de álcool em homens e mulheres (434,2 ± 5.144,0 e 366,1 ± 4.879,0, respectivamente), do escore de qualidade alimentar (0,8 ± 3,7, mulheres; 0,5 ± 3,7, homens), do tempo de sono (0,4 ± 1,2, mulheres; 0,5 ± 1,1, homens), do tempo de tela (1,7 ± 2,4, mulheres; 1,4 ± 2,3, homens) e do tempo sentado (1,7 ± 2,6, mulheres; 1,5 ± 2,4, homens) (horas/dia). Além disso, 18,6% aumentaram a compra de alimentos ultraprocessados e 36% aumentaram a compra de alimentos naturais. A idade e a atividade laboral contribuíram para aumentar a chance de compra de alimentos ultraprocessados, e a idade e a adesão ao distanciamento social influenciaram a mudança para um comportamento mais sedentário, enquanto a renda e o trabalho ativo favoreceram o aumento do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas. Estes fatores devem ser considerados na elaboração de políticas públicas a fim de evitar comportamentos individuais deletérios à saúde em períodos de pandemia.

Food insecurity and depressive symptoms among older adults assisted by the Family Health Strategy in the Northeast region of Brazil / Insegurança alimentar e sintomas depressivos em idosos atendidos pela Estratégia Saúde da Família na Região Nordeste do Brasil

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between depressive symptoms and food insecurity in households with older adults. Methods This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with community-dwelling older adults attended to in the Family Health Strategy in a municipality in the Brazilian Northeast. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Geriatric Depression Scale and food insecurity was assessed using the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. The chi-squared test was applied for a bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression was used to verify the association between depressive symptoms and food insecurity, adjusted for potential confounding variables. The significance level was p<0.05. Results A total of 316 older adults were evaluated, with a mean age of 70.5 (±7.5 years). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 27.5% and that of food insecurity was 63.3%, with 25.6% of households with older adults experiencing moderate/severe insecurity. In the multivariate analysis, households experiencing mild food insecurity presented 3 times (OR: 3.02; 95% CI: 1.42-6.39) more chance of developing depressive symptoms, while in those experiencing moderate/severe food insecurity the chance was 5 times higher (OR: 5.01; 95% CI: 2.30-10.92). Conclusion An association was found between food insecurity and depressive symptoms in households with older adults of the Family Health Strategy, with more chances for those experiencing moderate/severe food insecurity.

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a associação entre sintomas depressivos e insegurança alimentar em domicílios com idosos. Métodos Estudo transversal, quantitativo e realizado com idosos comunitários atendidos na Estratégia Saúde da Família em um município do Nordeste brasileiro. Sintomas depressivos foram avaliados pela Escala Geriátrica de Depressão; e a insegurança alimentar, com a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar. Foi aplicado o teste qui-quadrado para análise bivariada e a regressão logística binária para verificar a associação entre sintomas depressivos e insegurança alimentar, ajustada por potenciais variáveis de confundimento. O nível de significância foi p<0,05. Resultados Foram avaliados 316 idosos, com média de idade de 70,5 (±7,5 anos). A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi de 27,5% e a de insegurança alimentar foi de 63,3%, sendo que 25,6% dos domicílios com idosos estavam em insegurança moderada/grave. Na análise multivariada, domicílios com insegurança alimentar leve apresentaram 3 vezes (OR=3,02; IC 95%1,42-6,39) mais chances de desenvolverem sintomas depressivos, enquanto que aqueles em insegurança alimentar moderada/grave a chance foi 5 vezes maior (OR=5,01; IC 95% 2,30-10,92). Conclusão Foi encontrada associação entre insegurança alimentar e sintomas depressivos em domicílios com idosos da Estratégia Saúde da Família, com mais chances para aqueles com insegurança alimentar moderada/grave.

Fatores associados à adesão a comportamentos preventivos da COVID-19 em participantes do ELSA-Brasil / Factors associated with adherence to COVID-19 preventive behaviors in ELSA-Brasil participants / Factores asociados a la adhesión a comportamientos preventivos de COVID-19 en participantes de ELSA-Brasil

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a adesão a medidas de prevenção recomendadas durante a pandemia de COVID-19 e investigar os fatores associados a essa adesão na população adulta. Por meio de delineamento transversal, utilizam-se dados do estudo complementar Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil) - COVID, realizado de 2020 a 2021, que foram analisados por meio do teste qui-quadrado e regressão logística multinomial. A amostra é composta por 5.440 participantes. A medida preventiva com maior adesão foi o uso de máscara facial (95,5%). Houve maior adesão pelo sexo feminino e menor chance de adesão pela raça/cor branca, por aqueles que consomem bebidas alcoólicas, aposentados, assim como para aqueles que moram sozinhos ou que possuem familiares que não seguiram as recomendações de ficar em casa. A maior adesão aos comportamentos preventivos foi verificada em apenas um terço da população participante, o que demonstra que havia a necessidade de uma maior conscientização quanto aos riscos em populações específicas. Os achados contribuem para melhorar o conhecimento sobre promoção da saúde e prevenção da COVID-19.

The aim of the study is to assess the adherence to recommended prevention measures during the COVID-19 pandemic and to investigate the factors associated with this adherence in the adult population. This study has a cross-sectional design and used data from the complementary study Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) - COVID, conducted from 2020 to 2021. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression. The sample consisted of 5,440 participants. The preventive measure with the highest adherence was the use of a face mask (95.5%). There was greater adherence by females and lower chance of adherence by white people, by those who consume alcoholic beverages, people who were retired, as well as for those who live alone or who have family members who did not follow the recommendations to stay at home. Greater adherence to preventive behaviors was observed in only one third of the participating population, which demonstrates that there was a need for greater awareness of the risks in specific populations. The findings contribute to improving our understanding about health promotion and COVID-19 prevention.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la adhesión a las medidas de prevención recomendadas durante la pandemia de COVID-19 e investigar los factores asociados con esta adhesión en la población adulta. El presente estudio tiene un diseño transversal y utilizó datos del estudio complementario Estudio Longitudinal de Salud del Adulto en Brasil (ELSA-Brasil) - COVID, realizado de 2020 a 2021. Los datos se analizaron mediante la prueba de chi-cuadrado y la regresión logística multinomial. La muestra fue compuesta por 5.440 participantes. La medida preventiva con mayor adhesión fue el uso de mascarilla facial (95,5%). Hubo mayor adhesión por el sexo femenino y menor posibilidad de adhesión por la raza/color blanca, por aquellos que consumen bebidas alcohólicas, jubilados, así como para aquellos que viven solos o que tienen familiares que no siguieron las recomendaciones de quedarse en casa. Solo se comprobó una mayor adhesión a los comportamientos preventivos en un tercio de la población participante, lo que demuestra que había la necesidad de una mayor concientización en cuanto a los riesgos en poblaciones específicas. Los resultados contribuyen a mejorar el conocimiento sobre la promoción de la salud y la prevención del COVID-19.

Alimentación, estilo de vida y distanciamiento social: un estudio en el sureste brasilero durante la pandemia de COVID-19

Introducción: a raíz de la emergencia por la COVID-19, las medidas de distanciamiento social adoptadas para mitigar la tasa de infección pueden influenciar los hábitos alimentarios y otros factores de estilo de vida. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la relación del distanciamiento social y los factores de estilo de vida en adultos del sureste brasilero durante la primera ola pandémica. Metodología: se trata de un estudio transversal con 1828 adultos de entre 18 y 83 años, de ambos sexos, realizado a través de un cuestionario en línea; se recolectaron y analizaron datos sociodemográficos, alimentarios, sanitarios y de estilo de vida, en función de si se guardó o no el distanciamiento social. Resultados: los resultados mostraron disminución del desayuno (12,5 %) y aumento del consumo de meriendas (24,5 % matutina y 12,5 % vespertina) y picoteos entre comidas (20,4 %), así como de la ingesta de verduras y leguminosas entre quienes estaban en distanciamiento social y de pescado y comida rápida entre los que no lo estaban; la mayoría de participantes reportó ganancia de peso a lo largo de este periodo. Las personas en confinamiento dormían más y su principal causa de ansiedad fueron las estadísticas de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: los hallazgos sugieren la necesidad de implementar estrategias de promoción de la salud acordes a circunstancias como la actual.

Introduction: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, measures of social distancing to reduce the rate of infection can influence eating habits and other lifestyle factors. This study aimed to assess the relationship between social distancing and lifestyle factors in adults in southeastern Brazil during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods:: It was a cross-sectional study with 1,828 adults between 18 and 83 years of age, of both sexes, carried out through an online questionnaire; sociodemographic, food, health, and lifestyle data were collected and analyzed based on whether or not the social distancing was carried out. Results: The results showed a decrease in breakfast consumption (12.5%) and an increase in the consumption of snacks (24.5% morning snack; 12.5% afternoon snack) and snacks between meals (20.4%) during the pandemic, as well as an increase in the consumption of vegetables and legumes among people who did social distancing and in the consumption of fish and fast food among those who did not do social distancing; most participants reported weight gain during social distancing. People who were in social distancing slept more compared to those who were not in social distancing. The main cause of anxiety among those who kept social distancing were COVID-19 statistics. Conclusion: The findings suggest the need for health promotion strategies adapted to the condition of confinement in circumstances such as the current pandemic.

Food insecurity and malnutrition in older adults from the Family Health Strategy in the Northeast of Brazil / Inseguridad alimentaria y desnutrición en adultos mayores de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia del nordeste brasileño

Introduction: Food insecurity (FI) is a state characterized by instability and irregularity of access to food. This condition has negative impacts on dietary intake, affecting nutritional status and health condition. Objective: To evaluate the association between malnutrition and FI among communitydwelling older adults attended to under the Family Health Strategy (FHS). Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted using communitydwelling older adults attended to under the FHS in the municipality of Barreiras, in Bahia, Brazil. Between 2017 e 2018, we collected demographic, social, economic, health condition, lifestyle, anthropometric, and food consumption data. We evaluated nutritional status using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and we assessed FI with the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA). Besides the chi-squared test, we carried out a binary logistic regression to verify the association between malnutrition and FI, adjusted for possible confounding factors. The significance level was p<0.05. Results: We evaluated 307 older adults with a mean age of 70.4 (±7.5 years). The prevalence of malnutrition/risk of malnutrition was 35.2% and that of FI was 63.5%. Households with older adults in moderate/severe FI presented almost three times more chance (OR 2.97; CI95% 1.37-6.44) of having malnutrition compared with those in food security. Conclusions: The study indicates that there is an association between household FI and malnutrition/risk of malnutrition among older adults from the FHS, especially among those in severe FI. This result attributes to FI the status of determinant of malnutrition in older adults within the context investigated(AU)

Introducción: La inseguridad alimentaria (IA) es un estado caracterizado por la inestabilidad e irregularidad en el acceso a los alimentos. Esta condición tiene impactos negativos en la ingesta de alimentos, afectando el estado nutricional y la condición de salud. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre desnutrición e IA en adultos mayores comunitarios atendidos en la Estrategia Salud de la Familia (ESF). Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal realizado con ancianos de comunidad atendidos en la ESF del municipio Barreiras, Bahía, Brasil. Entre 2017 y 2018, se recolectaron datos demográficos, sociales, económicos, condición de salud, estilo de vida, antropométricos y de consumo de alimentos. El estado nutricional se evaluó por la Mini Evaluación Nutricional (MEN) y la IA con la Escala Brasilera de Inseguridad Alimentaria (EBIA). Además de la prueba de chi-cuadrado, se realizó una regresión logística binaria para verificar la asociación entre desnutrición e IA, ajustada para posibles factores de confusión. El nivel de significancia fue p<0,05. Resultados: Fueron evaluados 307 ancianos, con una edad media de 70,4 (±7,5 años). La prevalencia de desnutrición/riesgo de desnutrición fue de 35,2% y la de IA de 63,5%. Los hogares con adultos mayores en IA moderada/grave presentaron casi tres veces más chance (OR 2,97; IC95% 1,37-6,44) de tener desnutrición en comparación con aquellos en Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional. Conclusiones: El estudio apunta que existe asociación entre la IA domiciliaria y desnutrición/ riesgo de desnutrición entre los ancianos de la ESF, especialmente entre aquellos con IA severa. Este resultado atribuye a la IA un estatus de determinante de la desnutrición en ancianos en el contexto investigado(AU)

Propósito vital y su relación con las actividades extracurriculares y laborales en estudiantes universitarios

Resumen: El inicio de los estudios universitarios constituye un momento de transición y crisis. Poseer un propósito vital (PV) puede contribuir a la adaptación de los estudiantes. Las actividades extracurriculares y laborales son contextos con potencial para el desarrollo del PV. Este trabajo se propone indagar la relación entre la participación en actividades extracurriculares y laborales con el sentido de PV de estudiantes que inician sus estudios universitarios. Como objetivo secundario se realizó la validación de la Escala de Propósito Vital para Estudiantes Universitarios (EPVE). Por lo tanto, esta investigación se dividió en dos fases. En total participaron 232 estudiantes de ambos sexos (mujeres, 60.3%). En la primera fase se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de la EPVE. Los resultados indican que posee una adecuada validez de contenido y factorial, y una buena consistencia interna. En la segunda fase, se seleccionaron de la muestra total a los estudiantes que iniciaban sus estudios universitarios y se encontraban en la adultez emergente (n = 160). Se comparó el sentido de PV en función de la participación en las actividades, y se analizó la relación entre el PV y el grado de vinculación percibida entre las actividades y la carrera. Los resultados indicaron que la participación en actividades laborales se asocia a una menor identificación de PV. Sin embargo, cuando se perciben vinculadas a la carrera universitaria, se asocia a una mayor identificación de PV.

Abstract: The beginning of university studies constitutes a moment of transition and crisis. Having a purpose in life (PL) can contribute to students' adaptation. Extracurricular and work activities are contexts with potential for the development of PL. This work aims to investigate the relationship between participation in extracurricular and work activities with the sense of PL in students who begin their university studies. As a secondary objective, the validation of the Purpose in Life Scale for University Students (PLSS) was carried out. Therefore, this research was divided in two stages. A total of 232 students of both sexes participated (women, 60.3%). In the first stage, the psychometric properties of the PLSS were analyzed. The results indicate that it has adequate content and factor validity, and good internal consistency. In the second stage, students who were beginning their university studies and were emerging adults (n = 160) were selected from the total sample. The sense of PL was compared based on the participation in activities, and the relationship between PL and the degree of perceived link between activities and career was analyzed. The results indicated that the participation in work activities was associated with a lower identification of PL. However, when it was perceived as linked to a university career, it was associated with a greater identification of PL.

Resumo: O início dos estudos universitários constitui um momento de transição e crise. Possuir um propósito vital (PV) pode contribuir para a adaptação dos alunos. As atividades extracurriculares e laborais são contextos com potencial para o desenvolvimento da PV. Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a relação entre a participação em atividades extracurriculares e laborais com o sentido de PV de estudantes que iniciam seus estudos universitários. Como objetivo secundário, foi realizada a validação da Escala de Propósito Vital para Estudantes Universitários (EPVE). Portanto, esta pesquisa foi dividida em duas fases. No total, participaram 232 alunos de ambos os sexos (mulheres, 60,3%). Na primeira fase, foram analisadas as propriedades psicométricas do EPVE. Os resultados indicam que possui validade de conteúdo e fatorial adequada e boa consistência interna. Na segunda fase, foram selecionados do total da amostra alunos que estavam iniciando seus estudos universitários e em fase adulta emergente (n = 160). Comparou-se o sentido de PV em função da participação nas atividades, e analisou-se a relação entre PV e o grau de vínculo percebido entre atividades e carreira. Os resultados indicam que a participação em atividades laborais está associada a uma menor identificação de PV. No entanto, quando percebidos como vinculados a uma carreira universitária, associa-se a uma maior identificação de PV.

Taller de concordancia en la evaluación de imágenes capilaroscópicas / Reliability of nailfold videocapillaroscopy workshop

Introducción: la capilaroscopia es un método no invasivo que permite observar la microvasculatura en el área periungueal. Los resultados informados pueden ser altamente variables entre distintos observadores. A lo largo del tiempo surgieron métodos cuantitativos y semicuantitativos para mejorar la reproducibilidad. Objetivos: conocer el nivel de acuerdo intra e interobservador al informar los diferentes patrones capilaroscópicos en individuos con diferente nivel de entrenamiento. Materiales y métodos: estudio de corte transversal. Participaron médicos reumatólogos especialistas y en formación que habían realizado previamente un curso virtual de capacitación en capilaroscopia. Recibieron 40 imágenes capilaroscópicas proyectadas en una presentación de PowerPoint y debían responder a través de un cuestionario digital. Se evaluó la concordancia de respuestas intra e interobservador. Resultados: se encontró un alto nivel de concordancia global con un kappa 0,66 IC 95% (0,63-0,70) p<0,0000. También en otros grupos como reumatólogos en formación: kappa 0,65 IC 95% (0,60-0,71) p=0,0000, y médicos reumatólogos: kappa 0,67 IC 95% (0,62-0,72) p=0,0000. Conclusiones: el nivel de concordancia encontrado fue globalmente alto, independientemente del nivel de entrenamiento de los profesionales, y de ser o no reumatólogo. La concordancia fue superior cuando se comparó a quienes tenían más de 4 años de experiencia en la realización de videocapilaroscopia.

Introduction: videoapillaroscopy is a non-invasive method that allows the observation of the microvasculature in the periungual area. Reported results can be highly variable between different observers. Over time, quantitative and semi-quantitative methods emerged to improve reproducibility. Objetives: to know the level of intra and interobserver agreement when reporting the different capillaroscopic patterns in individuals with different levels of training. Materials and methods: cross section study. Specialist rheumatologists and those in training who had previously completed a virtual capillaroscopy training course participated. They received 40 capillaroscopic images projected in a PowerPoint presentation and had to issue their response through a digital questionnaire. Concordance of intra and interobserver responses was evaluated. Results: a high level of global agreement was found with a kappa 0.66 CI 95% (0.63-0.70) p<0.0000, also in other groups such as rheumatologists in training: kappa 0.65 CI 95% (0.60-0.71) p=0.0000, physicians rheumatologists: kappa 0.67 95% CI (0.62-0.72) p=0.0000. Conclusions: the level of agreement found was globally high, regardless of the level of training of the professionals, and whether or not they were a rheumatologist. Concordance was higher when compared to those who had more than 4 years of experience performing videocapillaroscopy.

Evaluación neurológica durante el primer año en niños muy bajo peso al nacer con infección por citomegalovirus / Neurological evaluation during the first year in very low birth weight children with cytomegalovirus infection

Introducción: La infección congénita por citomegalovirus es causa de pérdida auditiva y alteraciones cognitivas. La infección perinatal por este virus es más frecuente en neonatos< 1500 g y produce menos secuelas neurológicas. Objetivo: Describir la evaluación neurológica en el primer año de vida en niños muy bajo peso al nacer con infección por citomegalovirus. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo y longitudinal en el que se incuyeron 14 neonatos< 1500 g, con diagnóstico de infección congénita o perinatal por citomegalovirus; a los cuales se les realizó evaluación del neurodesarrollo, ultrasonido craneal, potenciales evocados auditivos de tallo cerebral y potenciales visuales a las 40 semanas, a los seis meses y al año de edad gestacional corregida. En la primera evaluación se realizó además, electroencefalograma. Resultados: El 43 por ciento tuvo infección congénita y 57 por ciento infección perinatal. A las 40 semanas se evaluaron completamente 79 % de los casos, a los seis meses 64 por ciento y al año 36 por ciento. No se observaron anormalidades en el ultrasonido craneal, ni en el electroencefalograma. Al año de edad corregida, se detectaron alteraciones ligeras del neurodesarrolo en 33,3 por ciento del total de casos (2/6) y con igual porcentaje en los niños con infección congénita (1/3) y perinatal (1/3). En ningún paciente evaluado se detectó sordera neurosensorial, ni daño del nervio visual. Conclusiones: Las alteraciones del neurodesarrollo encontradas al año de edad corregida pueden estar relacionadas con la prematuridad o la infección por citomegalovirus. El seguimiento a mediano y largo plazo es necesario para detectar otras secuelas neurológicas de debut tardío(AU)

Introduction: Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is a cause of hearing loss and cognitive impairments. Perinatal infection by this virus is more frequent in neonates< 1500 g and produces fewer neurological sequelae. Objective: To describe neurological evaluation in the first year of life in very low birth weight children with cytomegalovirus infection. Methods: A descriptive and longitudinal study involving 14 neonates< 1500 g, with a diagnosis of congenital or perinatal cytomegalovirus infection; to which neurodevelopmental evaluation, cranial ultrasound, auditory brain stem evoked potentials and visual potentials were performed at 40 weeks, six months and one year of corrected gestational age. In the first evaluation, electroencephalogram was also performed. Results: 43 percent had congenital infection and 57 percent perinatal infection. At 40 weeks, 79 percent of cases were fully evaluated, at six months 64 percent and at one year 36 percent. No abnormalities were observed on the cranial ultrasound or electroencephalogram. At one year of corrected age, slight alterations in neurodevelopment were detected in 33.3 percent of all cases (2/6) and with the same percentage in children with congenital (1/3) and perinatal (1/3) infection. In no patient evaluated, sensorineural deafness or visual nerve damage was detected. Conclusions: The neurodevelopmental alterations found at one year of corrected age may be related to prematurity or cytomegalovirus infection. Medium- and long-term follow-up is necessary to detect other late-onset neurological sequelae(AU)

Children, maternal and socioeconomic characteristics influence oral hygiene habits in schoolchildren / Características infantis, maternas e socioeconômicas influenciam hábitos de higiene bucal em escolares

Backgroung: the prevention of dental caries is basically done by brushing and flossing the teeth. The adoption of these habits, especially in children, is a complex process that depends on factors related to different aspects of life.Objective: to determine the association between children's, maternal and socioeconomic characteristics with oral hygiene habits in students aged 7 to 10 years in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil.Methods: cross-sectional study conducted with probabilistic sample of triple stage with final study population of 1,282 students. Data were collected using a questionnaire applied to children and questionnaire sent to parents to fill out and return. The outcome was the variable summary called "Oral Hygiene Practices" with three possible combinations: less favorable level, intermediate level and more favorable level. The independent variables were children ́s, maternal and socioeconomic characteristics. The Multinomial Regression Analysis was performed between the independent variables that showed significance less or equal to 0.10 in the Bivariate Analysis and the summary variable. The significance level for the variables in the final model was p<0.05 and less favorable level was used as reference.Results: most were female (58.0%), aged 8 and 9 (56.1%) and enrolled in public schools (82.8%). The most favorable oral hygiene level showed the highest prevalence (78.0%) among schoolchildren. Remained associated to more favorable level in the final model the variables: living with father and mother in the same home (OR=2,88; IC95%=1,15-7,20), dental appointment (OR=3,01; IC95%=1,32-6,85), cavity experience (OR=2,88; IC95%=1,15-7,20)) and own a toothbrush (OR=4,72; IC95%=1,43-15,66).Conclusion: social determinants have a strong influence on the adoption of positive habits. It is necessary for public health a more comprehensive approach to the perspective of health inequalities so that the family and social context should not be overlooked.

Introdução: a prevenção da cárie dentária é realizada basicamente pela escovação e uso do fio dental. A adoção desses hábitos, principalmente em crianças, é um processo complexo que depende de fatores relacionados a diferentes aspectos da vida.Objetivo: determinar a associação entre características infantis, maternas e socioeconômicas com hábitos de higiene bucal em escolares de 7 a 10 anos de Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brasil.Método: estudo transversal realizado com amostra probabilística em três estágios com população final do estudo de 1.282 alunos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário aplicado às crianças e aos pais para preenchimento e devolução. O desfecho foi a variável resumo denominada;Práticas de Higiene Bucal; com três combinações possíveis: nível menos favorável, nível intermediário e nível mais favorável. As variáveis independentes foram características das crianças, maternas e socioeconômicas. A Análise de Regressão Multinomial foi realizada entre as variáveis independentes que apresentaram significância p-valor<0,10 na Análise Bivariada e a variável resumo. O nível de significância para as variáveis no modelo final foi de p-valor<0,05 e o nível menos favorável foi utilizado como referência.Resultados: a maioria das crianças era do sexo feminino (58,0%), com idade entre 8 e 9 anos (56,1%) e matriculada em escolas públicas (82,8%). O nível de higiene bucal mais favorável apresentou a maior prevalência (78,0%) entre os escolares. Permaneceram associadas ao nível mais favorável no modelo final as variáveis: morar com pai e mãe no mesmo domicílio (OR=2,88; IC 95%=1,15-7,20), consulta odontológica (OR=3,01; IC 95%=1,32-6,85), experiência em cárie (OR=2,88; IC 95%=1,15-7,20) e possuir escova de dentes (OR=4,72; IC 95%=1,43 -15,66).Conclusão: os determinantes sociais têm forte influência na adoção de hábitos positivos. É necessário para a saúde pública uma abordagem mais abrangente na perspectiva das desigualdades em saúde para que o contexto familiar e social não seja negligenciado.

¿Qué implica disfrutar del deporte? Presentación de un instrumento para su evaluación / What is Involved in Enjoying Sport? Presentation of an Instrument for its Evaluation

Resumen El disfrute es una de las razones más fuertes para involucrarse en una actividad deportiva. ¿Pero cómo se puede definir conceptual y operacionalmente este constructo? El objetivo del presente estudio fue indagar con enfoque mixto los componentes del disfrute en el deporte. En el primer estudio participaron deportistas federados del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA, Argentina) (n = 9). Se utilizó una entrevista semi-estructurada y se identificaron las categorías que describen la experiencia de disfrute, tales como, afecto positivo, involucramiento y experiencia autotélica. Los participantes refirieron además sentirse realizados a nivel personal. Por otro lado, en el segundo estudio participaron 362 jóvenes (57.2 % hombres y 42.8 % mujeres) de 14 a 29 años de distintos clubes del AMBA. Para este estudio se operacionalizaron las categorías del primer estudio, a través de 29 ítems, con una escala Likert de cinco puntos de acuerdo. El análisis factorial exploratorio arrojó dos factores que explicaron el 58.8 % de la varianza a través de 17 ítems. La confiabilidad de cada subescala fue alta. El disfrute puede conocerse a través de dos subescalas: afecto positivo . involucramiento. Un factor adicional emergió de los análisis: el sentido de realización personal. Los factores del disfrute correlacionaron positivamente con este último, con el compromiso en el deporte y con el Flow total. Posteriores estudios permitirán conocer otros indicadores de validez de la escala y su uso en diversos contextos.

Abstract Enjoyment is one of the strongest motives to engage in a sports activity, but how can this construct be conceptually and operationally defined? This study aimed to investigate, with a mixed approach, the components of enjoyment in sport. In the first study, federated athletes from the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (MABA, Argentina) participated (n = 9). A semi-structured interview was conducted, and the categories that describe the enjoyment experience were identified, such as positive affect, involvement, and autotelic experience. Participants also reported feeling fulfilled on a personal level. On the other hand, the second study involved 362 young people (57.2% men and 42.8% women) aged 14 to 29 from different MABA clubs. For this study, the categories of the first study were operationalized through 29 items, with a Likert-type scale of five points of agreement. The exploratory factorial analysis yielded two factors that explained 58.8% of the variance through 17 items. The reliability of each subscale was high. Enjoyment can be assessed through two subscales: positive affect and involvement. An additional factor emerged from the analyses: the sense of personal fulfillment. The factors of enjoyment correlated positively with the latter, with the engagement in the sport and with the total flow. Subsequent studies will reveal other indicators of the validity of the scale and its use in various contexts.
