ABSTRACT
Abstract Background Knowledge of patients about Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a necessary aspect to better approach self-management support in a patient-centered manner. The research instrument known as the Rheumatoid Arthritis Knowledge Assessment Scale (RAKAS), consisting of 13 items, is simple, reliable and reproducible, and can be applied in both clinical practice and research protocols. Objectives This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the RAKAS vocabulary into Brazilian Portuguese and to evaluate its concurrent validity. Methods The RAKAS was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and administered to 52 elderly women with RA recruited between May 2021 and May 2022. Concurrent validity was assessed using the Spearman's correlation coefficient between RAKAS and Patient Knowledge Questionnaire (PKQ). Results The participants considered RAKAS-13/BRAZIL easy to understand and did not report any doubts in answering the final version. Concurrent validity of the RAKAS-13/BRAZIL was low compared to the PKQ (ρ = 0.283, p = 0.038). Conclusion The Brazilian Portuguese version of the RAKAS (RAKAS-13/BRASIL) proved to be a questionnaire that was easy and quick to administer to assess patient knowledge about Rheumatoid Arthritis, despite its low correlation with the PKQ in the present study.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: foi realizar uma investigação bibliométrica na literatura sobre o tema do treinamento resistido em mulheres idosas. Metodologia: utilizou a bibliometria para as análises das seguintes variáveis: ano de publicação; autores com mais publicações; instituição de vínculo do autor; país da instituição de vínculo do autor; título do periódico e o fator de impacto (JCR 2017) dos periódicos. Foram utilizadas quatro bases de dados para a busca na literatura científica e técnica, com as palavras-chave "Older Women" e "Resistance Training", limitando o ano (2012-2016) e obrigatoriamente artigos científicos publicados na íntegra. Após a exclusão das duplicações, foram totalizados 152 artigos científicos para a análise quantitativa. Resultados: a Scopus retornou 107 artigos científicos, a Web of Science 79, a Pubmed 82 e a SciELO 8. Os periódicos com mais publicações quantificadas em cada base de dados foram: o Experimental Gerontology (Scopus); Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research e Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (Web of Science); Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (Pubmed); e as Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Esporte e a Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria & Desempenho Humano (SciELO). Os autores Cyrino, E. S., da Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Brasil e a Liu- -Ambrose, T., da University of British Columbia, Canadá, foram os pesquisadores com maior produtividade, com 15 e 11 publicações, respectivamente. Conclusão: conclui-se que o Brasil foi o país de destaque nas publicações referentes ao treinamento resistido em idosas no quinquênio (2012-2016). Já a instituição destaque foi a Universidade Estadual de Londrina, localizada no Norte e no interior do estado do Paraná, tendo como líder o pesquisador Cyrino, E. S. (AU)
Objective: to carry out a bibliometric investigation in the literature on the subject of resistance training in elderly women. Methodology: we used bibliometrics in order to analyze the following variables: year of publication; authors with more publications; author's institution; country of the author's institution; title of the journal and the impact factor (JCR 2017). Four databases were used to search the scientific and technical literature, using the keywords: "Older Women" and "Resistance Training", publication dates (2012 to 2016) and full-text scientific articles published. After the duplication papers exclusion, a total of 152 scientific articles were included for the quantitative analysis. Results: Scopus returned 107 articles, Web of Science 79, Pubmed 82 and SciELO 8. The journals with the most publications quantified in each database were: the Experimental Gerontology (Scopus); Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research and Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (Web of Science); Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (Pubmed); and the Brazilian Journal of Sports Medicine and the Brazilian Journal of Cineanthropometry & Human Performance (SciELO). The authors Cyrino, E. S., State University of Londrina, Brazil and Liu-Ambrose, T., University of British Columbia, Canada, were the most productive researchers with 15 and 11 publications, respectively. Conclusion: it was concluded that Brazil was the leading country in the scientific publication regarding resistance training in elderly women in the five-year period (2012 to 2016). The main institution was the State University of Londrina, located on Paraná state, with the Cyrino, E. S. the most productive researcher. It is important to mention the great contribution of researcher Liu-Ambrose. (AU)
