ABSTRACT
Abstract Self-handicapping strategies refer to the set of choices and attitudes adopted to minimize blame for failure and increase the value of success in achievement situations. This paper aims to describe the stages of construction and the psychometric analysis of a scale to measure the self-handicapping strategies of university students. In study 1, the major steps for the construction of the scales and initial results are reported. The internal consistency indices were acceptable and the principal component analysis revealed factors with little explanation of data variance. In study 2, data from a sample of 834 students from several undergraduate courses of different Brazilian universities were subjected to exploratory factor analysis using the minimum rank factor analysis (MRFA) method and the matrix of polychoric correlations. The parallel analysis criterion for factor retention indicated the one-factor solution as the best fit to data. The importance of having a valid and reliable measure to assess self-handicapping strategies in educational contexts and the promising use of the scale in actions to improve learning in higher education are discussed.

Resumo: Introdução: A tomada de decisão compartilhada (TDC) é uma abordagem em que médicos e pacientes compartilham as melhores evidências disponíveis quando confrontados com a tarefa de tomar decisões. Na TDC, os pacientes são estimulados a considerar opções para que possam obter preferências informadas. Todavia, até onde se pode determinar, os princípios da TDC não são rotineiramente ensinados e avaliados nos currículos das faculdades de Medicina. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar na literatura instrumentos de avaliação aplicados em escolas médicas para o ensino de TDC. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, via Portal de Periódicos Capes, que contempla as bases de dados MEDLINE, SciELO e Lilacs. Para as bases de vocabulário controlado, utilizamos o descritor shared decision making, combinado isoladamente com medical education. Para a base de palavras-chave, utilizamos medical school, medical student, medical educational models, educational medical assessment measures e medical curriculum. Resultado: A busca revelou 1.524 artigos, dos quais 13 foram selecionados como corpus de revisão. Instrumentos de avaliação em atenção centrada no paciente (ACP) são ferramentas importantes para avaliar a TDC em currículos de escolas médicas, principalmente a Patient-Practioner Orientai-o Scale (PPOS). Escalas e questionários on-line se apresentam como alternativas para essa avaliação. A escala Observing Patient Involvement (OPTION) se mostrou como uma ferramenta contributiva para avaliar a TDC em escolas médicas. Conclusão: Todos os 13 estudos de TDC aplicados em escolas médicas se mostraram de alguma forma eficazes na avaliação de habilidades, confiança ou atitudes dos alunos de graduação em Medicina. Contudo, nenhum desses estudos realizou avaliações de acompanhamento por longos períodos. Entendemos que, especialmente no Brasil, novas pesquisas devem ser feitas, tanto relacionadas com a validação de escalas que se mostram potentes internacionalmente como na construção de instrumentos mais contextualizados à nossa realidade.
Abstract: Introduction: Shared decision making (SDM) is an approach in which doctors and patients share the best available evidence when faced with the task of making decisions, and where patients are supported to consider options in order to obtain informed preferences. However, as far as can be determined, the principles of SDM are not routinely taught and evaluated in medical school curricula. Objective: Identify assessment instruments applied in medical schools for teaching SDM existing in the literature. Method: The research question was formulated in April 2021. The search for articles has been carried out since January 2020 on an ongoing basis and served to consolidate the guiding question. The process took place via the CAPES Journal Portal, covering the Medline, Scielo and Lilacs databases. For the controlled vocabulary bases, we used the descriptors: shared decision making, combined with medical education alone. For the keywords, we used medical school, medical student, medical educational models, educational medical assessment measures and medical curriculum. Result: The search revealed 1,524 articles and 13 articles were selected as a review corpus. Assessment instruments in patient-centered care are important tools for assessing SDM in medical school curricula, especially the patient-practitioner orientation scale (PPOS). Scales and online questionnaires are presented as alternatives for the assessment of SDM in medical schools. The OPTION scale "observing patient involvement" proved to be a very resourceful tool in the teaching of SDM. Conclusion: All 13 SDM studies applied in medical schools were shown to be somewhat effective in assessing the skills, confidence, or attitudes of undergraduate medical students. However, none of these studies performed long-term follow-up assessments. We understand that, especially in Brazil, new research must be carried out, both related to the validation of scales that prove to be internationally effective and in the construction of instruments more contextualized to our reality.
ABSTRACT
La transición epidemiológica observada en las últimas décadas ha implicado un aumento creciente de enfermedades crónicas, fenómeno asociados con el estilo de vida de la población, al modelo alimentario y al sedentarismo, lo que predispone a la obesidad y a la resistencia a la insulina, condicionando patologías cardio metabólicas como la hipertensión arterial y la dislipidemia, favoreciendo el desarrollo del síndrome metabólico. El tratamiento consiste en el manejo farmacológico, mejoras en los hábitos alimentarios y la incorporación de la actividad física a la rutina diaria. Tradicionalmente los programas de ejercicio están orientados a un método aeróbico para mejorar los parámetros alterados. Sin embargo, actualmente han surgido nuevas estrategias de intervención como el entrenamiento interválico de alta intensidad, que ha evolucionado como un modelo de intervención eficaz, con real impacto en el estado de salud de la población. El objetivo de esta revisión es entregar una mirada histórica y actualizada del ejercicio interválico de alta intensidad, de su impacto en la población y de las adaptaciones fisiológicas que respaldan su uso como herramienta terapéutica.
The epidemiological transition observed in recent decades has led to a continuous increase in chronic non communicable diseases, phenomenon associated with the lifestyle of the population, the dietary pattern and physical inactivity, which predisposes to obesity and insulin resistance, conditioning cardiometabolic disease such as hypertension and dyslipidemia, allowing the development of metabolic syndrome. The treatment consists of pharmacological management, improving dietary habits and the incorporation of physical activity into the daily routine. Traditionally exercise programs are oriented to aerobic methods for improving altered parameters. New intervention strategies such as high-intensity interval training have been developed, which has evolved as a model of effective action, with a real positive impact on the health status of the population. The objective of this review is to provide a historical and updated look of high-intensity interval exercise, its impact on the population and physiological adaptations that support its use as a therapeutic tool.

La interacción temprana entre una madre y su bebé durante el primer año de posparto, se centra en la respuesta emocional materna que determina el vínculo materno-infantil, considerado éste un importante mediador en el desarrollo psicosocial del infante. Alteraciones en esta vinculación temprana se asocian a importantes consecuencias en el infante a nivel cognitivo, social, de salud mental y con riesgo de maltrato, abuso infantil y hasta infanticidio. Los factores de riesgo para una alteración en el vínculo materno-infantil incluyen factores de la madre, del bebé, del embarazo, parto y posparto y del ambiente social. El estudio de los aspectos psicosociales de la relación temprana entre una madre y su infante, ha sido de principal interés en países desarrollados; sin embargo, en Latinoamérica la investigación es aún muy escasa. En la presente revisión se exploran las características del vínculo materno-infantil, sus factores de riesgo y consecuencias negativas más asociadas, así como una identificación de las estrategias de evaluación más usadas en diferentes países. La detección temprana de una problemática del vínculo materno-infantil es una estrategia fundamental para diseñar intervenciones de salud específicas y pertinentes que disminuyan las consecuencias adversas y promuevan el bienestar de la diada madre-bebé y su ámbito familiar.
The early relationship between a mother and her baby during the first year after childbirth is focused in the maternal affective response which is the base of the mother-infant bonding, considered an important mediator in the psychosocial child development. Early bonding difficulties are associated to negative consequences in the infant's cognitive, social and mental health development and a high risk for child maltreatment, abuse and infanticide. Risk factors for a mother-infant bonding disorder include aspects related to the mother, the baby, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum and the social environment. The study of the psychosocial aspects of the early relationship between a mother and her baby is of main interest in developed countries, nevertheless the research on this topic in LatinAmerica is still very limited. In the present review it is explored the characteristics of a mother-infant bonding, its main risk factors and most relevant negative consequences, as well as the most popular assessment strategies used among the countries. The early detection of a mother-infant bonding disorder is a decisive strategy to allow the design of specific and relevant health interventions that can reduce the adverse consequences and promote the wellbeing of the mother-infant dyad and its family.
