ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare short-term efficacy of enhanced phase-I cardiac rehabilitation and ordinary phase-Ⅰ cardiac rehabilitation in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: A total of 254 patients received CABG in our hospital from 2015-07 to 2015-10 were enrolled including 196 male and 58 female at the mean age of (59.92±7.80) years. Relevant health education was conducted and echocardiography, emotion, grip strength were assessed before operation. Based on personal aspiration, the patients were assigned to 2 groups at the 1st day after CABG: Enhanced phase-I cardiac rehabilitation (Enhanced) group, the patients received every day one to one training by physical therapist for 7 days and Ordinary phase-I cardiac rehabilitation (Ordinary) group, the patients received unified instruction by physical therapist prior operation. Relevant parameters were compared between 2 groups at 1 week post-operation which were mainly focused on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), emotional assessment as health questionnaire 9-items (PHQ-9), generalized anxiety disorder 7-items (GAD-7) and grip strength. Results: Before operation: LVEF, PHQ-9 scores, GAD-7 scores and grip strength were similar between 2 groups.1 week post-operation: compared with Ordinary group, Enhanced group had the higher LVEF (62.88±5.21) % vs (59.00±9.83) %, P<0.05; Enhanced group showed slightly lower PHQ-9, GAD-7 scores and slightly higher grip strength without statistic meaning. Conclusion: Enhanced phase-I cardiac rehabilitation presented slight superiority as improved LVEF which implied that even 1 week specific training may benefit CABG patients.
ABSTRACT
Em 1995 e 2004 foram realizados dois estudos transversais representativos com mulheres de 15 a 49 anos em Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, visando avaliar alguns indicadores básicos de saúde. A amostra incluiu 1.339 mulheres em 1995 e 1.311 em 2004. Aplicou-se questionário padronizado no domicílio investigando sobre características demográficas, sócio-econômicas, reprodutivas e utilização de serviços preventivos de saúde. A análise consistiu em comparar estes indicadores nos dois estudos pelo teste do qui-quadrado. Observou-se melhoria nas condições de habitação, saneamento, escolaridade, mas piora da renda familiar. A idade média de início das atividades sexuais diminuiu, a taxa de gravidez na adolescência aumentou em 33 por cento assim como aumentou a realização de exame citopatológico de colo uterino em 48 por cento e mama em 30 por cento. A utilização de métodos contraceptivos diminuiu 3 por cento, enquanto o uso de preservativos masculinos passou de 8 por cento para 21 por cento. Esforços deveriam ser feitos não somente visando incentivar a realização de exames de mama e citopatológico de colo uterino como também de retardar o início das atividades sexuais e de promover o uso de métodos contraceptivos, especialmente de preservativos.
Two surveys were conducted (1995 and 2004) on women 15-49 years of age in Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul State, southern Brazil, assess patterns in their use of preventive health services. The sample included 1,339 women in 1995 and 1,311 in 2004. A standardized household questionnaire covered their demographic, socioeconomic, reproductive, and health care-utilization characteristics. The chi-square test was used to compare indicators in the two studies. During the study period, housing conditions, running water, sanitation, and schooling improved, but family income decreased. Mean age at sexual initiation decreased by one year, teenage pregnancy increased 33 percent, and clinical breast examination and Pap smears increased 48 percent and 30 percent, respectively. Overall use of contraceptive methods declined by 3 percent, but condom use increased from 8 percent to 21 percent. Efforts are needed to improve coverage for breast examination and Pap smears, postpone sexual initiation, and promote the use of contraceptive methods, especially condoms.
