ABSTRACT
Este estudo teve como objetivo construir e validar um vídeo educativo sobre a reflexologia podal. Estudo metodológico, desenvolvido em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do sudeste brasileiro, em que foram percorridas as fases de pré-produção, produção e pós-produção do vídeo, seguidas da avaliação da compreensão e da abrangência do conteúdo abordado. A versão final do vídeo educativo apresenta duração de 12 minutos e sete segundos. Os peritos o avaliaram como um recurso educativo que apresenta a temática de forma clara e objetiva. Os alunos consideraram o material educativo adequado e apontaram boa aceitação do mesmo. As etapas adotadas permitiram construir e validar o vídeo proposto, um material educativo claro, objetivo e adequado. Espera-se, em estudo posterior, avaliar o impacto do vídeo educativo na construção do conhecimento da reflexologia podal.
The aim of this study was to construct and validate an educational video about foot reflexology. A methodological study was conducted at a higher education institution in southeastern Brazil, where the video pre-production, production and post-production stages were performed, followed by an evaluation of content understanding and comprehensiveness. The duration of the final version of the educational video is 12'7" (12 minutes and 7 seconds). The experts considered it an educational resource that presents the theme in a clear and objective way. The students considered it a proper educational material and showed good acceptance. The stages adopted for video construction and validation produced a clear, objective and proper educational material. Further studies should evaluate the impact of an educational video on the construction of foot reflexology knowledge.

Desenvolvido no âmbito da disciplina Recursos Terapêuticos Manuais, o objetivo deste trabalho foi elaborar, aplicar e avaliar a eficácia de um programa de treinamento de habilidades profissionalizantes em sessão de massoterapia, com foco na relação fisioterapeuta-paciente, sem descuidar do autocuidado do terapeuta. Para elaboração do programa, foram identificadas 21 habilidades envolvidas nessa relação, com base na literatura e na observação de 120 sessões de massoterapia. Dez peritos validaram a definição operacional das habilidades, que foram organizadas em um programa de treinamento aplicado a alunos. O desempenho destes nas habilidades treinadas (classificado como adequado, parcialmente adequado, inadequado ou não-realizado) foi avaliado em prova prática. Também foi analisado relato escrito dos alunos sobre o programa. Participaram do estudo 25 graduandos. A análise dos resultados mostrou que todos realizaram 12 das 21 habilidades treinadas adequadamente. Quatro habilidades foram realizadas de forma parcialmente adequada por cinco alunos. Não ocorreu situação de execução inadequada...
This work was developed within the discipline Manual Therapy Resources. It consisted in designing, applying, and assessing the efficacy of a program of massotherapy training with a focus on therapist-patient relationship, also stressing therapist self care. By drawing on literature and on the observation of 120 massotherapy sessions, 21 professional abilities were defined and organised into a training program. Ten experts validated the abilities operating definition. The program was then applied to a class of 25 undergraduates, whose performance at the end of the program was assessed, in a practical test, as adequate, partially adequate, inadequate or not undertaken. Written final reports by students were also analysed. Twelve out of the 21 trained abilities were found to be adequately performed by all students; four abilities were partially adequately carried out by five students. There was no case of inadequate performance. The analysis of the written reports showed that 19 out of the 25 students approved of the training program, found relevant and necessary. The self-care training was pointed out as relevant for professional development and appropriate to the teaching context by 10 students. The program proved thus efficient in enabling students to perform with adequate therapist-patient relationship, being also well accepted by students...

Antecedentes: En Chile, la estadística poblacional reporta 259.069 recién nacidos vivos anualmente, corregidos para el año 2001, de los cuales, 6 por ciento son prematuros. Este grupo presenta la más alta morbimortalidad neonatal, requiere prolongadas hospitalizaciones e involucra un fuerte gasto de recursos para la salud pública del país. Objetivos: Esta investigación evaluó los efectos del masaje como terapia complementaria, al tratamiento habitual de los recién nacidos prematuros del Servicio de Neonatología del Hospital San José. Método: Se realizó un ensayo clínico de casos y controles que incluyó al azar 40 niños menores de 37 semanas de edad gestacional e inferior a 1.700 g al nacer que no presentaban condiciones patológicas al momento del estudio y que fueron agrupados por peso y edad gestacional al inicio de la intervención y pareados posteriormente por edad gestacional y categoría de peso de nacimiento (pequeño, normal o grande para la edad gestacional). Los padres de los niños fueron capacitados en masaje shiatsu y lo aplicaron a sus hijos por 15 minutos, tres veces al día, seis días alternos, por dos semanas. Se registró peso de inicio y diario en ambos grupos y días de hospitalización. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante test t de Student para datos no pareados. Resultados: Los niños masajeados aumentaron en promedio, 14 gramos diarios más que el grupo control (p=0,0001) y permanecieron 15 días menos hospitalizados (p=0,0169). Conclusión: El masaje shiatsu produce una más rápida ganancia de peso en niños prematuros. Aplicando esta técnica a niños de 1000 gal nacer se ahorraría en promedio $1.216.000 por niño, sólo por concepto de días cama de hospitalización y una potencial ganancia en el desarrollo psicomotor.
Background: In Chile every year 259.069 childs were borned, 6 percent of them are prematures. This group has the highest neonatal mortality and morbidity, spending prolonged hospitalizations and monetary resources for the public health of Chile. Objective: This investigation looks for the effects of massage as a complementan/ therapy to the common treatment of our hospitalized prematures babies at the Neonatal Unit of San José Hospital. Method: We performed a clinic assay of cases and controls that included 40 babies under 37 weeks of gestation and less than 1700 g which had no pathologies. They were classified by weight and gestational age at the beginning of the assay and compared by weight and gestational age at the end of the study. Parents were trained in shiatsu massage and they applied it to their babies 15 minutes, 3 times per day, 6 every other days during 2 weeks. We registered the initial weight and then daily and hospitalization days in both groups. Statistical analysis was performed by test t student for data no paired. Results: The group of babies stimulated by massage, increased their weight 14 g per day in average more than the control group (p=0.0001) and spent 15 days less of hospitalization (p=0.0169). Conclusions: The shiatsu massage produces a fast gain of weight in newborns prematures babies. Applying this therapy to babies under 1000 g, we can save $1,216,000 per baby, just only for hospitalization concept and a potential gain in psychomotor development.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to test the effects of infant massage (auditory (mother's voice), tactile/kinesthetic (massage) and visual (eye to eye contact) stimulation) on weight and height of infant and mother-infant interaction with normal infants over a period of 4 weeks. METHOD: This study was designed as a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The experimental group infants (aged 2-6 months) participated in one of the infant massage programs at the health district center for 4 weeks. The control group (N=26) was paired with the experimental group (N=26) by matching the infant's age and sex. Infant weight, height, and mother-infant interaction were measured two times and recordings of the mother-infant interaction were done using the video equipment in a room at the health center for 10 minutes. RESULTS: After 4 weeks of massage, there were no significant differences weight gain and height increase between the two groups. Comparison of the total scores for the mother-infant interaction between the two groups showed a significant difference (t=5.21, p=.000). There were also significant differences on maternal response (t=3.78, p=000), infant response (t=5.71, p=000) and dyadic response (t=4.05, p=000) in the mother-infant interaction between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Overall, the results of this study reassure that infant massage facilitates the mother-infant interaction for infants and mothers who give massage to their baby.
