Autopercepção da voz, audição e saúde geral no rastreio de distúrbio vocal em idosas / Self-perception of voice, hearing, and general health in screening for voice changes in older women

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a associação de fatores sociodemográficos, do comportamento vocal, morbidades e autopercepção da voz, auditiva e de saúde geral de idosas com distúrbio vocal. Método Participaram 95 idosas com idades entre 60 e 84 anos (média 69,5). Realizou-se uma entrevista com apoio de um questionário estruturado contendo questões sociodemográficas, de saúde e do comportamento vocal. Utilizou-se o Protocolo para Rastreamento de Alterações Vocais em Idosos (RAVI) para identificar a presença de distúrbio vocal. Resultados Houve o predomínio de participantes com ensino médio completo e aposentadas. O número de idosas que apresentaram distúrbio vocal segundo o RAVI foi de 46,3%. Queixas relacionadas às sensações físicas como garganta seca, pigarro e coceira na garganta foram as mais presentes. O grupo de idosas com distúrbio vocal apresentou pior autopercepção da qualidade vocal, audição, saúde geral e maior frequência de infecções de vias aéreas superiores quando comparadas àquelas sem distúrbio vocal (p≤0,05). Conclusão Houve associação estatística entre a autoavaliação vocal mensurada pelo RAVI e a autopercepção da qualidade da voz, da audição, da saúde geral, inflamações de garganta, sinusite e alergias respiratórias.

ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the association between sociodemographic factors, vocal behavior, morbidities, and self-perception of voice, hearing, and general health in older women with voice disorders. Methods The sample had 95 older women aged 60 to 84 years (mean of 69,5). They were interviewed with a structured questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects, health, and vocal behavior. The Screening Protocol for Voice Disorders in Older Adults (RAVI) was used to identify the presence of voice disorders. Results Participants who had finished high school and were retired predominated. The number of older women with voice disorders according to RAVI was 46.3%. Physical sensations such as dry throat, throat clearing, and itchy throat were the most common complaints. The group of older women with voice disorders had worse self-perception of voice quality, hearing, and general health and a higher frequency of upper airway infections than those without voice disorders (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion The vocal self-assessment measured with RAVI was statistically associated with self-perception of voice quality, hearing, general health, sore throat, sinusitis, and respiratory allergies.

Relationship between Smoking and Vocal Self-perception of Trans Women

Objective: To verify the relationship between smoking, age, schooling, and the vocal self-perception of trans women. Methods: Cross-sectional observational quantitative study conducted with 24 trans women over 18 years old, living in their affirmed gender for a minimum of 6 months. Data collection involved selected questions from the translated and authorized Portuguese version of the Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ) and information regarding age, education, occupation, and smoking status. All variables were analyzed descriptively, and the association with smoking was assessed using Pearson's Chi-square, Fisher's Exact, Student's T, and Mann-Whitney tests, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The mean age of trans women was 28.2 +/- 6.5 years (range: 21 - 48). Most participants (41.6%) had completed their high school education and pursued diverse careers. Regarding smoking habits, 58.3% of women were either current smokers or had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. A statistically significant association was found between smoking and age (p = 0.001), with smokers having a lower average age (24.9 years) compared to nonsmokers (32.9 years). However, no statistical significance was observed between smoking, education, and self-perception of vocal femininity. Only 9 (37.5%) trans women perceived their voices as feminine, while 17 (70.7%) desired a more feminine-sounding voice. Limitation: The limited sample size in this study may have constrained the ability to detect significant differences between the analyzed groups using statistical tests. Conclusion: The smoking prevalence was notably high among younger trans women. However, there was no statistically significant difference in vocal self-perception between those who smoked and those who did not. The majority of trans women expressed a desire for their voices to sound more feminine, particularly among smokers.

Objetivo: Verificar la relación entre el tabaquismo, edad, escolaridad y la autopercepción vocal de mujeres trans. Métodos: Estudio observacional transversal cuantitativo realizado con 24 mujeres trans mayores de 18 años, que viven en su género afirmado durante 6 meses. Para la recolección de datos se utilizaron preguntas seleccionadas de la versión portuguesa traducida y autorizada del Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ) y datos sobre edad, educación, ocupación y tabaquismo. Todas las variables se analizaron descriptivamente y la asociación con el tabaquismo se realizó mediante las pruebas Chi-cuadrado de Pearson, Exacta de Fisher, T de Student y Mann Whitney, con un nivel de significación del 5%. Resultados: La edad promedio de las mujeres trans fue de 28,2 +/- 6,5 (rango 21 - 48). La mayoría de las participantes (41,6%) había terminado la escuela secundaria con carreras muy diversas. Respecto al tabaquismo, el 58,3% de las mujeres fuman actualmente o han fumado al menos 100 cigarrillos en su vida. Hubo una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el tabaquismo y la edad (p = 0,001), en la que la edad promedio entre los fumadores (24,9 años) fue menor que la de los no fumadores (32,9 años). No hubo significación estadística entre el tabaquismo, la educación y la autopercepción vocal. Solo 9 (37,5%) mujeres trans actualmente consideran su voz femenina y 17 (70,7%) dijeron que la voz ideal podría sonar más femenina. Limitación: La pequeña casuística puede haber limitado la identificación de diferencias entre los grupos analizados a través de pruebas estadísticas. Conclusión: El tabaquismo fue alto entre las mujeres trans, especialmente las más jóvenes. La autopercepción vocal no fue estadísticamente diferente entre los grupos de fumadores y no fumadores. La mayoría de las mujeres trans dijeron que sus voces podrían sonar más femeninas, especialmente las fumadoras.

Para a coleta de dados, foram aplicados dois instrumentos: o Body Shape Questionnaire, para explorar o nível de satisfação corporal e a identificação de insatisfação com o peso, e o Self-Report of the Stage of Change for Physical Exercise, para avaliar a intenção de praticar exercícios físicos. A amostragem foi estratificada, proporcional e aleatória simples de 400 alunos distribuídos em seis grupos. O resultado foi uma correlação negativa alta e significativa entre o nível de insatisfação com a imagem corporal e o exercício físico. Foi determinado que os alunos buscam a satisfação com sua imagem corporal por meio da prática de exercícios físicos, pois ter uma imagem melhor motiva a responsabilidade de se manter saudável, por meio da prática moderada de exercícios em diferentes espaços, de modo que eles a colocam como uma meta pessoal.

Currently, for adolescents and young people, body appearance is considered important to be accepted in social groups. Correspondingly, the objective of the research was to determine the correlation between the satisfaction of body image with the practice of physical exercise, in adolescents from 12 to 18 years of age of the Educational Unit "Leonardo Maldonado Pérez", in the school year 2020- 2021. The study was quantitative correlational of a non-experimental cross-sectional type, which made it possible to measure the correlation between the body image variables and the practice of physical exercise. For data collection, two instruments were applied: the Body shape Questionnaire, to explore the level of body satisfaction and the identification of dissatisfaction about weight and the Self-report of the Stage of Change for Physical Exercise, to assess the intention to practice physical exercise. The sampling was stratified proportional and simple random of 400 students divided into six groups. The result was a significant high negative correlation between the level of dissatisfaction with body image and the practice of physical exercise. It was determined that the students seek the satisfaction of their body image through the practice of physical exercise, since having a better image motivates the responsibility of staying healthy, through the moderate practice of exercises in different spaces, so that they place it as a personal goal.

Efecto condicional de las actitudes hacia pacientes con diagnósticos de salud mental sobre la toma de decisiones en contexto de urgencia según la autopercepción de conocimientos asociados al trabajo con pacientes de salud mental

Introducción: En la actualidad existen pocos estudios con respecto a la evaluación de actitudes y autopercepción de conocimientos de los profesionales de la salud hacia los pacientes con alguna condición de salud mental, y la relación de estas variables con la toma de decisiones respecto de estos pacientes. Desde la experiencia se conoce la dificultad que tienen médicos que no están relacionados con el área de salud mental de afrontar a pacientes con alguna patología psiquiátrica y más aún en las urgencias, ya sea porque reconocen falta de conocimientos del tema, instancias no adecuadas para evaluación además de la alta exigencia de estos servicios. Metodología: El estudio consistió en una encuesta online de carácter transversal aplicada a profesionales de la salud pertenecientes al Hospital Dr. Hernán Henríquez Aravena, ubicado en la ciudad de Temuco, Chile. La encuesta incluyó preguntas sociodemográficas, caracterización de experiencias asociadas a diagnósticos de salud mental, y escalas dedicadas a medir variables (autopercepción, actitudes y toma de decisiones). Resultados: A medida que la autopercepción de conocimientos es mayor, el efecto de las actitudes sobre la toma de decisiones también es mayor. Conclusiones: Tanto las actitudes de los profesionales de la salud hacia este tipo de pacientes, así como su autopercepción de conocimientos, son dos componentes fundamentales para asegurar un buen manejo clínico. Resulta importante que exista un balance en cómo se manejan ambas dentro de un servicio, con el fin de asegurar una atención apropiada y centrada en el bienestar del paciente.

Introduction: Currently there are few studies regarding the evaluation of attitudes and self-perception of knowledge of health professionals towards patients with some mental health condition, and the relationship of these variables with decision making regarding these patients. From experience, its known the difficulty that doctors who are not related to the area of mental health have in dealing with patients with some psychiatric pathology and even more so in emergencies, either because they recognize a lack of knowledge of the subject and instances that are not suitable for evaluation. in addition to the high demand of these services. Methodology: The study consisted of a cross-sectional online survey applied to health professionals belonging to the Dr Hernán Henriquez Aravena Hospital, located in the city of Temuco, Chile. The survey included sociodemographic questions, characterization of experiences associated with mental health diagnoses, and scales dedicated to measuring variables (self-perception, attitudes and decision making). Results: As self-perception of knowledge grows, the effect of attitudes on decision making also increases. Conclusions: Both the attitudes of health professionals towards this type of patients, as well as their self-perception of knowledge, are two fundamental components to ensure good clinical management. It is important that there is a balance in how both are managed within a service, in order to ensure appropriate care focused on the patient's well-being.

Body posture self-assessment tools: a scoping review / Instrumentos de autoevaluación de la postura corporal: una revisión de alcance / Instrumentos de autoavaliação da postura corporal: uma revisão de escopo

ABSTRACT Postural therapies use active treatment methods, such as self-correction, to control body segments. The evidence for this practice is established from the comparison of the self-perception of body posture before, during, and after postural education. A scoping review of tools to assess self-perception of body posture, besides encouraging research, may guide professionals while developing treatments. This scoping review aims to identify the existing tools that assess self-perception of body posture, describing their type, measurement properties (validity and reliability), and postural outcomes. The protocol of this review was registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF), DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/JGH8U. Studies developing and/or evaluating measurement properties and other study designs using self-perception of static body posture as an assessment method were included. In total, 359 studies were found, of which six were analyzed in this study. They presented two types of tool and their measurement properties were related to validity (n=6) and reliability (n=5). Five studies performed the joint analysis of validity and reliability (83%). Spine position, leg and foot posture, trunk and rib deformity, and postural awareness in general were the assessed postural outcomes. Of the six tools that assess self-perception of body posture, only the SSFS scale can be used in any population. To date, no study found a tool that assesses self-perception of body posture and considers all body segments.

RESUMEN Las terapias posturales utilizan métodos de tratamiento activo, como la autocorrección, para alinear los segmentos del cuerpo. La autopercepción de la postura corporal comparada antes, durante y después del trabajo en educación postural permitirá establecer la evidencia de esta práctica. Una revisión de alcance de los instrumentos que evalúan la autopercepción de la postura corporal, además de incentivar los estudios, puede orientar a los profesionales en las prácticas terapéuticas. El objetivo de esta revisión de alcance es identificar los instrumentos existentes que evalúan la autopercepción de la postura corporal, con la descripción del tipo de instrumento, sus propiedades de medición (validez y confiabilidad) y los resultados posturales. El protocolo para esta revisión está registrado en Open Science Framework (OSF), doi: 10.17605/OSF. IO/JGH8U. Se incluyeron estudios de desarrollo y/o evaluación de propiedades de medición u otros tipos de estudio que utilizaron la autopercepción corporal estática como método de evaluación. Se identificaron un total de 359 estudios, de los cuales seis se incluyeron en esta investigación. Estos presentaron dos tipos de instrumentos. Las propiedades de medición se relacionaron con la validez (n=6) y la confiabilidad (n=5). El análisis conjunto de validez y confiabilidad fue realizado por cinco estudios (83%). Los resultados posturales evaluados fueron: posición de la columna; postura de piernas y pies; deformidad del tronco y las costillas; y conciencia de la postura en general. Se identificaron seis instrumentos que evalúan la autopercepción de la postura corporal, pero solamente la escala SSFS puede ser utilizada en cualquier población. Hasta el momento, no se identificó ningún instrumento que evalúe la autopercepción de la postura corporal y que considere todos los segmentos corporales en el análisis.

RESUMO As terapias posturais utilizam métodos de tratamento ativo, como a autocorreção, para o alinhamento dos seguimentos corporais. É a partir da comparação da autopercepção da postura corporal antes, durante e após o trabalho em educação postural que as evidências dessa prática serão estabelecidas. Uma revisão de escopo sobre os instrumentos de avaliação da autopercepção da postura corporal, além de fomentar pesquisas, poderá guiar os profissionais nas condutas terapêuticas. O objetivo desta revisão de escopo é identificar quais são os instrumentos existentes que avaliam a autopercepção da postura corporal, descrevendo o tipo de instrumento, suas propriedades de medição (validade e confiabilidade) e os desfechos posturais. O protocolo desta revisão foi registrado no Open Science Framework (OSF), doi: 10.17605/OSF.IO/JGH8U. Foram incluídos estudos de desenvolvimento e/ou de avaliação de propriedades de medição e outros desenhos de estudo que utilizaram a autopercepção corporal estática como método de avaliação. Foram identificados 359 estudos, sendo seis deles incluídos neste estudo. Estes apresentaram dois tipos de instrumentos. As propriedades de medição foram relativas à validade (n=6) e à confiabilidade (n=5). A análise conjunta de validade e confiabilidade foi realizada por cinco estudos (83%). Os desfechos posturais avaliados foram: posição da coluna vertebral; postura das pernas e dos pés; deformidade do tronco e das costelas; e consciência da postura em geral. Foram identificados seis instrumentos que avaliam a autopercepção da postura corporal, mas apenas a escala SSFS pode ser usada em qualquer população. Até o momento, não foi identificado nenhum instrumento que avalie a autopercepção da postura corporal e que considere todos os segmentos corporais na análise.

Os papéis do professor de Medicina: diálogo entre teoria e prática no ensino superior / The roles of the Medicine professor: dialogue between theory and practice in higher education

Resumo: Introdução: Professores de Medicina são demandados em atividades complexas. As reformulações curriculares propostas pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para os cursos de Medicina no Brasil trouxeram mudanças nas atividades docentes, com a introdução de inovações na formação dos médicos. Em consequência, os papéis docentes têm sido submetidos a redefinições. Harden e Lilley são autores que se debruçaram sobre o estudo dos papéis dos professores de medicina. Objetivo: Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de conhecer a percepção de professores de medicina de uma instituição pública federal de ensino superior sobre os papéis que exercem como docentes. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, com realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com dois grupos de professores de medicina, separados pelo tempo de experiência docente: grupo 1: professores com mais de dez anos de docência e grupo 2: docentes com menos de dez anos de carreira docente. As entrevistas foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo temática. Resultado: Os professores de medicina de ambos os grupos identificaram em sua atuação os papéis propostos por Harden e Lilley e foram além ao descreverem papéis adicionais que exercem em sua prática docente. Os do grupo 1 consideraram o papel de gestor e os do grupo 2 salientaram que devem ter disponibilidade emocional para lidar com as necessidades afetivas dos estudantes. Conclusão: Essas percepções podem proporcionar às instituições formadoras o conhecimento necessário para mobilizar investimentos institucionais para o desenvolvimento docente e poder contar com todo o potencial da atuação dos professores.

Abstract: Introduction: Medicine professors are required in complex activities. The curricular reforms proposed by the National Curricular Guidelines for medical courses brought changes in teaching activities, with the introduction of innovations in the training of physicians. As a result, teaching roles have been subject to redefinitions. Objectives: This study was carried out with the objective of understanding how medicine professors from a federal public higher education institution view their roles as professors, based on the theoretical reference of the eight roles of the professor of medicine proposed by Harden and Lilley in 2018. Method: This is a study with a qualitative approach, with semi-structured interviews conducted with two groups of medicine professors, separated by the time of teaching experience: Group 1, composed of professors with more than 10 years of teaching experience; and Group 2, composed of professors with less than 10 years of teaching career. The interviews were subjected to thematic content analysis. Results: Medicine professors from both groups identified the roles proposed by Harden and Lilley in their work and went further, describing additional roles they play in their teaching practice. Those in Group 1 attribute the role of manager/administrator to teachers and those in Group 2 consider that teachers must have emotional availability to deal with the affective needs of students. Conclusion: These perceptions can provide training institutions with the necessary knowledge to mobilize institutional investments for teacher development and ensure that teachers reach their full potential.

Autopercepção da saúde bucal e fatores associados em pessoas idosas quilombolas: um estudo de base populacional / Self-perception of oral health and associated factors in quilombola older people: a population-based study

Resumo Objetivo investigar a autopercepção das condições bucais e fatores associados em idosos quilombolas rurais do norte de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Método Trata-se de um estudo analítico e transversal de base populacional, no qual utilizou-se uma amostragem por conglomerados com probabilidade proporcional ao tamanho (n=406). A coleta de dados envolveu a realização de entrevistas e exames clínicos odontológicos. A autopercepção das condições bucais foi avaliada por meio do GOHAI (Índice de Determinação da Saúde Bucal Geriátrica). Resultados A maioria dos idosos autopercebeu a saúde bucal como ótima (46,3%) ou regular (30,2%). Os pesquisados revelaram ainda precária saúde bucal e acesso restrito aos serviços odontológicos. Verificaram-se, na análise múltipla, associações significantes (p˂0,05) entre GOHAI regular e variáveis relativas ao local da última consulta e uso de prótese, bem como entre GOHAI ruim e variáveis atinentes ao estado conjugal, religião, motivo da última consulta, índice CPO-D e uso de prótese. Conclusão Parcela expressiva dos idosos quilombolas manifestou uma autoavaliação mais positiva da saúde bucal, divergente do quadro odontológico constatado profissionalmente. Constatou-se ainda que o relato de percepção ruim das condições bucais esteve fortemente associado a uma saúde bucal mais precária entre os investigados.

Abstract Objective to investigate self-perception of oral conditions and associated factors in rural quilombola older people in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. Method This is an analytical and cross-sectional population-based study, in which cluster sampling with probability proportional to size (n=406) was used. Data collection involved conducting interviews and clinical dental examinations. Self-perception of oral conditions was assessed using the GOHAI (Geriatric Oral Health Determination Index). Results Most older people self-perceived oral health as excellent (46.3%) or regular (30.2%). Those surveyed also revealed precarious oral health and restricted access to dental services. In the multiple analysis, significant associations (p˂0.05) were found between regular GOHAI and variables related to the location of the last consultation and use of prosthesis, as well as between poor GOHAI and variables related to marital status, religion, reason for last consultation, CPO-D index and use of prosthesis. Conclusion A significant portion of the quilombola older people showed a more positive self-assessment of oral health, which differs from the professionally verified dental condition. It was also found that the report of poor perception of oral conditions was strongly associated with poorer oral health among those investigated.

Acceso a atención odontológica y autopercepción de salud bucal en mujeres trabajadoras sexuales adultas: scoping review / Access to dental care and self- perception of oral health in adult women sex workers: scoping review

Objetivo: reconocer la asociación entre el acceso a atención odontológica y la autopercepción de salud bucal, entendida como buena, regular o mala, según valoración subjetiva, en mujeres adultas trabajadoras sexuales. Métodos: scoping review durante octubre de 2022 en EMBASE (Elsevier), LILACS y PUBMED. Se tuvo en cuenta la guía de métodos de Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), así como la extensión PRISMA para Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Se incluyeron estudios de corte transversal que incluían como actores de estudio a mujeres trabajadoras sexuales y los temas que aquí se abordan. La calidad de los estudios se evaluó mediante la herramienta New Castle-Ottawa. Resultados: se identifcaron 48 artículos de los cuales tres fueron finalmente incluidos en la síntesis de los resultados. La población de los estudios incluidos estuvo centrada en trabajadoras sexuales de diferentes lugares como Suiza, China e India, alrededor de las cuales se abordó el acceso a servicios de atención odontológica y la autopercepción de salud; igualmente, fue común el abordaje detemas de salud sexual. Se evidenciaron barreras económicas, sociales, culturales en el acceso a atención odontológica en trabajadoras sexuales, asimismo la salud autopercibida de las mismas fue interpretada como buena. Conclusión: se evidenció una limitada cantidad de información sobre el acceso a servicios de salud bucal por parte de trabajadoras sexuales con respecto a la información disponible en salud sexual. Por este motivo, es relevante realizar más estudios que tengan en cuenta el componente de salud bucodental en trabajadoras sexuales, teniendo en cuenta los riesgos y vulnerabilidades a las que se encuentran expuestas.

Objective: To recognize the association between access to dental care and self-perception of oral health in terms of subjective assessment as good, regular/average, or bad/poor, in adult women sex workers. Methods: A scoping review during October2022 in EMBASE (Elsevier), LILACS and PUBMED. This study takes into considerationThe Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) method guide and the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The current study also includes cross-sectional studies that considered variables like sex workers, access to dental care, and self-perceived health. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the New Castle-Ottawa tool. Results: Forty-eight articles were identifed, of which three were fnally included in the synthesis of the results. The population of the included studies was focused on sex workers from diferent places such as Switzerland, China and India, the issue of access to dental care services and self-perception of health was also common addressing sexual health issues, these studies identifed economic, social, and cultural barriers in access to dental care for sex workers; also, their self-perceived health was interpreted as good. Conclusion: The limited amount of information regarding access to oral health services by sex workers, regarding information found in terms of sexual health, was evidenced; for this reason, it is important to carry out more studies that consider the oral health component in sex workers, considering the risks and vulnerabilities to which they are exposed.

Psoriasis and associated risk factors: a cross-sectional analysis of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the association of psoriasis with cardiovascular risk factors and psychological aspects among participants of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study from the baseline data of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health cohort, collected between 2008 and 2010 in six state capitals of Brazil (i.e., Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, São Paulo, and Vitória). Participants were active and retired civil servants from college and research institutions, aged between 35 and 74 years. Exclusion criteria included the intention to quit working at the institution, pregnancy, severe cognitive impairment, and, if retired, residence outside of a study center's corresponding area. Psoriasis case identification was based on a previous medical diagnosis of psoriasis. Cardiovascular risk profile, psychological aspects, and sociodemographic variables were investigated. RESULTS: Data from 15,105 participants were analyzed (mean age of 52.3 years, 51.3% women). The prevalence of psoriasis was 1.6% (n=236). Psoriasis was associated with higher education (OR 1.94 [CI 1.07-3.52]), health insurance plan (OR 1.56 [CI 1.08-2.25]), central obesity (OR 1.63 [CI 1.10-2.40]), smoking status (former OR 1.40 [CI 1.03-1.88]; current OR 1.61 [CI 1.08-2.40]), and very bad self-perception of health (OR 7.22 [CI 2.41-21.64]), remaining significant even after multivariate adjustment. Self-reported Black participants were less likely to have psoriasis (OR 0.45 [CI 0.26-0.75]). CONCLUSION: In a sample of healthy workers, psoriasis was associated with central obesity, smoking, and a very bad self-perception of health, which may contribute to future cardiovascular disease.

Escalas de automonitoramento e autorreações para a compreensão de leitura: estudo psicométricos iniciais / Escalas de autosupervisión y autorreacciones para la comprensión lectora: estudios psicométricos iniciales / Self-monitoring and self-reactions for reading comprehension scales: initial psychometric studies

The Self-Monitoring for Reading Scale (Escala Automonitoramento para Ler [EAu-L]) and Self-Reactions for Reading Comprehension Scale (Escala Autorreações para a Compreensão de Leitura [EAr-CL]) were elaborated to assess two key processes of the self-perceived behavior dimension of self-regulation for learning in middle school students. The first part of this study aimed to investigate the evidence based on the test content of these scales. Three expert judges and 16 students participated in the research. The results indicated that the scale items are intelligible and representative in theoretical and practical terms through qualitative and quantitative analyses. The second part of the study aimed to analyze the evidence based on the internal structure and reliability of the scales. In this phase, the participants were 522 students. Factor analyses indicated a single-factor structure for the EAu-L and a two-factor structure for the EAr-CL. Both scales obtained adequate reliability indices. New studies are planned to expand the psychometric quality of these scales.

Video Game Interaction Related to Increased Present Attention in College Students / Interação com Videogames se Relaciona a Maior Atenção ao Presente em Universitários / Interacción con Videojuegos se Relaciona a Más Atención al Presente en Universitarios

Abstract Action video games require a high level of attention and almost automatic psychomotor reactions from the player. Therefore, this study aims to verify the relationship between the amount of hours of interaction with action video games and private self-awareness and attention to the present moment. In total, 1,315 college students were recruited (M = 21.6 years; SD = 2.7), who responded to the Digital Entertainment and Information Use Questionnaire, the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale, and the Full Attention and Awareness Scale. Statistical analysis (Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's Post-Hoc Tests) indicated a relationship between hours of video game interaction, attention to the present, and self-reflection. It is concluded that playing action video games regularly and for a certain period of time is related to a lower predisposition to turn attention to oneself and to lower impulsivity, but to a higher disposition to focus on everyday experiences (attention to the present).

Resumo Videogames de ação exigem do jogador nível de atenção alto e reações psicomotoras quase automáticas. Portanto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a relação entre quantidade de horas de interação com videogames de ação e a autoconsciência privada e a atenção ao momento presente. Foram recrutados 1.315 universitários (M = 21,6 anos; DP = 2,7), que responderam ao Questionário de Uso de Entretenimento e Informação Digital, à Escala de Autorreflexão e Insight e à Escala de Atenção e Consciência Plena. A análise estatística (Testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Post-Hoc de Dunn) indicou relação entre quantidade de horas de interação com videogames, atenção ao presente e autorreflexão. Conclui-se que jogar videogames de ação regularmente e por um determinado período relaciona-se a menor predisposição em voltar a atenção para si mesmo e a menor impulsividade, porém à maior propensão a focar experiências cotidianas (atenção ao presente).

Dental students' self-Perception: health and academics during COVID-19 quarantine / Autopercepción de los estudiantes de Odontología: salud y vida académica durante la cuarentena por COVID-19

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to analyze the self-perceived general health, oral care, stress, academic environment, and harmful habits of Mexican dental students during the COVID-19 quarantine period. This descriptive observational study consisted of a self-perception survey that was sent to dental students undergoing virtual classes. Five sections were analyzed: General Health, Oral Health, Stress, Academic Environment and Habits. For each question, students were asked to rate their perception prior to, and during the contingency, which allowed a comparison to be made between both times for each inquiry. The answers were collected into Microsoft Excel and the statistical analyses were performed using SPSS v.20. A statistically significant difference was observed between the academic years for the variables: "physical exercise" prior to quarantine, "emotional problems" and "work-load" during quarantine, and "academic efficiency" for both times. A trend towards unfavorable perception in relation to general health, academic environment, and harmful habits was observed among dental students during social isolation derived from the pandemic. It is notable that 1st-year students presented a greater impact on all the variables of interest.

RESUMEN: El propósito de este estudio fue analizar la autopercepción sobre salud general, cuidado oral, estrés, ambiente académico y hábitos nocivos de estudiantes de Odontología en México durante el periodo de cuarentena por COVID-19. Estudio descriptivo observacional que consistió en una encuesta de autopercepción enviada a estudiantes de Odontología que cursaban clases virtuales. Fueron analizadas cinco secciones: Salud General, Salud Oral, Estrés, Ambiente Académico y Hábitos. Para cada pregunta, se les pidió a los estudiantes que calificaran su percepción antes de, y durante la contingencia, lo que permitió realizar una comparación entre ambos tiempos para cada cuestión. Las respuestas fueron recolectadas en Microsoft Excel y los análisis estadísticos se realizaron empleando SPSS v.20. Una diferencia estadísticamente significativa fue observada entre los grados académicos, para las variables: "ejercicio físico" antes de la cuarentena, "problemas emocionales" y "carga de trabajo" durante la cuarentena, y "eficiencia académica" para ambos tiempos. Se observó una tendencia hacia una percepción desfavorable con relación a la salud general, ambiente académico y hábitos nocivos entre los estudiantes de Odontología, durante el aislamiento social derivado de la pandemia. Es notable que los alumnos de 1er año presentaron un mayor impacto en todas las variables de interés.

"I Drive Well, the Problem is the Other Driver": A Study About the Self-Assessment of the Ability to Drive / "Yo Conduzco Bien, el Problema es el Otro": Un Estudio Sobre la Autoevaluación de la Capacidad de Conducir

Abstract This study aims to verify the self-evaluation that people make about their ability to drive and investigate whether there is a difference between self-evaluation and evaluation about their friends' abilities. To this end, 151 people answered three different questionnaires, one questionnaire about driving abilities (self-evaluation and evaluation of friends), the Driver's Behavior Questionnaire and a socio-demographic questionnaire The sample consisted of 50.3% of males with a mean age of 25.32 years (SD = 1.66). As a result, self-evaluation was positively correlated with age, evaluation of friend, weekly driving hours, Common Violations, and Aggressive Violations. In addition, there was significant difference between evaluation by sex: males carry out self-assessments in a more positive way. It was also found that people evaluate themselves better than they evaluate their friends. From this research, it is possible to think the target audience that would most benefit from an intervention to reduce self-evaluation, that is, men, people over 24 years old, and people who have more driving experience.

Resumen Este estudio tiene como objetivo verificar la autoevaluación que las personas hacen sobre su capacidad para conducir y si hay diferencia entre la autoevaluación y la evaluación de las habilidades de sus amigos. Fueron aplicados tres instrumentos, un cuestionario sobre habilidades de conducción (autoevaluación y evaluación de amigos), el Driver's Behavior Questionnaire y un cuestonario sociodemográfico. Participaron 151 personas (50.3% hombres) con una edad media de 25.32 años (DE=1.66). Hubo una correlación positiva entre la autoevaluación y la edad; evaluación de amigos; horas semanales de conducción; violaciones ordinarias y violaciones agresivas. Además, hubo una diferencia significativa entre la evaluación por sexo: los hombres realizan autoevaluaciones de una manera más positiva. También se descubrió que las personas evalúan mejor a sí mismas de lo que evalúan a sus amigos. Así, es posible pensar en el público que se beneficiaría más de una intervención para reducir la autoevaluación: hombres, personas mayores de 24 años y personas que tienen más experiencia de conducción.

Resumo Objetivou-se identificar a prevalência da autopercepção positiva de saúde entre os idosos não longevos e longevos e fatores associados. Pesquisa realizada com idosos cadastrados na Estratégia Saúde da Família de Montes Claros. Utilizou-se o instrumento Brazilian Older Americans Resources and Services Multidimensional Function Assessment Questionnaire. Realizaram-se análises bivariadas e múltiplas por meio da Regressão de Poisson. Participaram 1.750 idosos, sendo 1.420 idosos não longevos e 330 longevos. A autopercepção positiva foi referida entre 71,9% dos idosos não longevos e 67,8% dos longevos. Entre os não longevos, a autopercepção positiva de saúde foi associada: escolaridade a partir de 5 anos (RP=1,12); renda familiar entre 2 a menos de 3 salários mínimos (RP=1,13) e maior ou igual a 3 salários mínimos (RP=1,12); visão preservada (RP=1,13); boa mastigação (RP=1,16); sono preservado (RP=1,23); ausência de polipatologias (RP=1,29); ausência de diabetes (RP=1,15) e de quedas no último ano (RP=1,13) e prática de atividades físicas (RP=1,11) e entre os longevos: uso de prótese; ausência de alterações no sono e de polipatologias e prática de atividades físicas. A autopercepção positiva de saúde está associada aos determinantes sociais e de saúde.

Abstract This work aimed to identify the prevalence of positive self-perceived health among non-long-lived and long-lived older adults and associated factors. This is a study with older adults in the Family Health Strategy of Montes Claros. The Brazilian Older Americans Resources and Services Multidimensional Function Assessment Questionnaire was used. Bivariate and multiple analyses were performed using Poisson Regression. A total of 1,750 older adults participated in the study, of which 1,420 were non-long-lived older adults, and 330 were long-lived older adults. Positive self-perception was reported among 71.9% of the non-long-lived older adults and 67.8% of the long-lived older adults. Among the non-long-lived, positive self-perceived health was associated with five years of schooling (PR=1.12); household income from two to less than three minimum wages (PR=1.13) and ≥three minimum wages (PR=1.12); preserved vision (PR=1.13); proper chewing (PR=1.16); preserved sleep (PR=1.23); absence of polypathologies (PR=1.29); absence of diabetes (PR=1.15); falls in the last year (PR=1.13); and physical activity (PR=1.11). Among the long-lived older adults, it was associated with the use of prosthesis, sleeping disorders, and polypathologies and physical activities. Positive self-perception of health is associated with social and health determinants.

Diseño, confiabilidad y validez de una escala de autopercepción de éxito para colaboradores de empresas medianas en México / Design, reliability and validity of a self-perception scale of success for collaborators of medium-sized companies in Mexico

Resumen La autopercepción del éxito se considera como una sensación de bienestar personal, laboral, económico o emocional que una persona experimenta a partir del logro de propósitos alcanzados en actividades que le apasionan. Hasta el momento se ha omitido su estudio en los trabajadores, quienes suelen ser los responsables del desarrollo operativo en cualquier organización. El propósito de esta investigación implicó el diseño, confiabilidad y validez de una escala de autopercepción de éxito para colaboradores de organizaciones medianas mexicanas. Los análisis de fiabilidad, factoriales exploratorio y confirmatorio dan cuenta de una consistencia interna adecuada para la medición de la autopercepción de éxito, con una escala final integrada por ocho ítems (α=.805) que se validó con una muestra de 225 trabajadores pertenecientes a seis empresas. Conocer el nivel de autopercepción de éxito que manifiestan los trabajadores permitiría la generación de estrategias de apoyo o reforzamiento para promover un aumento en su seguridad, competencia y desempeño en las empresas.

Abstract The self-perception of success is considered as a feeling of personal, work, economic or emotional well-being that a person experiences from the achievement of goals achieved in activities that they are passionate about. However, the study of workers has been omitted, they are usually responsible for operational development in any organization. The purpose of this research was the design, reliability and validity of a scale of self-perception of success for collaborators of medium-sized Mexican organizations. The reliability, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes show adequate internal consistency for measuring the self-perception of success, with a final scale made up of eight items (α = .805) that was validated in a sample of 225 workers belonging to six companies. Knowing the level of self-perception of success that workers manifest would allow the generation of support or reinforcement strategies to promote an increase in their safety, competence and performance in companies.

Intervención psicológica mediante el coaching motivacional en un caso de pérdida de peso / Psychological intervention through motivational coaching in a case of weight loss

Resumen Objetivo: Construir un índice general de vulnerabilidad del sector salud y un índice específico de vulnerabilidad en enfermedades neumológicas, que identifiquen a los municipios con menor capacidad de respuesta a la pandemia provocada por el virus SARS-CoV-2. Materiales y métodos: Para generar los índices, nos basamos en tres componentes: la infraestructura y el personal disponible; la demanda sanitaria; el alcance del seguro social y de salud, todo ello mediante el método de descomposición de Shapley. Resultados: Los municipios que presentan una mayor capacidad de resiliencia ante la pandemia, en su mayoría son municipios capitales, dato que resalta la mala distribución espacial de los servicios sanitarios. Además, por las características socio económicas del país, los municipios de la región sur oeste (Oaxaca, Guerrero y Puebla); de la sierra Tarahumara (Chihuahua) y la Huasteca (San Luis de Potosí, Querétaro e Hidalgo) son los que presentan un alto índice de vulnerabilidad, al no contar con los recursos sanitarios suficientes y por tener una gran proporción de población sensible a la pandemia. Otro hallazgo importante es que, los municipios capitales, a pesar de contar con un número considerable de infraestructura hospitalaria y personal médico, poseen una alta densidad demográfica, lo que ocasiona que estén más expuestos al virus y por ende se encaminan a la saturación total de su sistema de salud; tal es el caso de municipios como Iztapalapa o Ecatepec que tras la segunda ola de pandemia rebasaron su capacidad hospitalaria. Conclusión: La vulnerabilidad del sector salud vista a través de los índices desarrollados, se agrava si se analiza la capacidad específica de atención a enfermedades respiratorias, en particular en los municipios de alta y media exposición a la pandemia por COVID-19, los hallazgos muestran la importancia de desarrollar políticas focalizadas de protección y mitigación de estos municipios.

Abstract Objective: The objective of this study is to obtain data on the effectiveness of the recently created motivational coaching model "La Girafa de Cantón", specifically its ability to positively influence variables such as psychological well-being and self esteem. Materials and method: A single case design of methodological triangulation is used, where the quantitative information obtained through the test-retest evaluation is combined with the Ryff Psychological Well-being scales and the Rosenberg self- esteem test with the qualitative analysis of the interviews. made. The intervention lasts for five sessions and is performed with a 20-year-old woman whose main objective is to lose five kilos of weight in approximately two months. Results: The results show a significant improvement in the retest scores, in the subjective perception of the participant regarding progress in the process and an improvement in skills to maintain healthy behaviors; in addition to significant weight loss. Conclusions: As a result of the results obtained, the intervention carried out has been effective in improving the variables studied through the self-reflection caused by the professional in psychological coaching and based on the "La Girafa de Cantón" model. Therefore, it is important the adequate application of these strategies by trained professionals and the need for future studies to strengthen the effectiveness of this intervention methodology.
