ABSTRACT

Cognitive deficits are common among post-stroke patients. Cognitive impairments of this sort are mediated by age and education. In Brazil, the only specific cognitive screening tool designed for post-stroke patients is the Cognitive Screening Test (Triagem Cognitiva - TRIACOG). The goal of this study was to investigate validity evidence related to external variables for the TRIACOG. Our sample included 153 adults and elderly people (M = 60.08, SD = 9.61) from Porto Alegre and metropolitan area, comprising 87 post-stroke patients and 66 healthy individuals. Three-way ANOVAs were used to assess main effects and interactions between the variables group (clinical/control), age and education. An influence of group and age on scores in the TRIACOG was found. We emphasize the relevance of these results to the selection of cut-off points for the tasks and cognitive functions assessed by the instrument, considering education and age, so as to allow more accurate identification of deficits in post-stroke patients.

Déficits cognitivos são comuns em pacientes após acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). O prejuízo cognitivo causado por esse evento é mediado por variáveis etárias e de escolaridade. No Brasil, o único instrumento de rastreio cognitivo específico para o pós-AVC é a Triagem Cognitiva (TRIACOG). O objetivo deste estudo é investigar evidências de validade relacionadas a variáveis externas da TRIACOG. Participaram do estudo 153 adultos e idosos (M = 60,08; DP = 9,61) de Porto Alegre e região metropolitana, sendo 87 pacientes pós-AVC e 66 saudáveis. Three-way ANOVA foi utilizada para indicar os efeitos e interações entre variáveis de grupo, etárias e educacionais. Observou-se a influência dos fatores de grupo e idade nos escores da TRIACOG. Ressalta-se a relevância dos resultados para a construção de pontos de corte para tarefas e funções do instrumento, considerando aspectos educacionais e etários, aumentando a precisão na identificação de déficits em pacientes pós-AVC.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand how the empowerment of family caregivers of people with stroke occurs in the hospital environment. Methods: a qualitative research, participatory action research, articulated with Paulo Freire's Research Itinerary, developed in April 2018 with family caregivers, in a Stroke Unit. Results: three predominant codes were coded: the need for empowerment and autonomy to experience the care situation; the challenges experienced in becoming a caregiver; and family support. Participants presented a lack of information inherent to the care process, with distancing from empowerment to perform the function in dehospitalization. Dialogue revealed empowerment as a possibility for critical awareness and skill development. Conclusions: it highlights the importance of directing health promotion for caregivers, inserting them in the care process, recognizing their needs and intensifying practices that promote empowerment for care, bypassing curative actions.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the functional capacity and its relationship with the level of social support to people affected by cerebrovascular accident. Methods: Cross-sectional and quantitative research, conducted with 108 individuals with sequelae of cerebrovascular accident in João Pessoa/PB. Data were collected through interviews, using a sociodemographic instrument - the Barthel Index and the Social Support Scale. Results: We observed the prevalence of functional dependency in 93.5%, and the mild dependency stood out in 40.7%. Medium social support was the most found, with 48.2%. The predominant dimensions of social support were the material dimension, followed by the emotional. There was a significant association (p ≤ 0.05) between very serious dependency and high social support. Conclusion: The results found allow us to reflect on the need for involvement of health professionals in strengthening the social support of patients with disabling diseases, such as the cerebrovascular accident.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Deficits in motor skills and depressive symptoms are common effects observed after stroke, so it is necessary to understand how these variables interact with each other. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between these two variables in post-ischemic stroke patients. We evaluated 135 patients with a mean age of 60 years (± 15). The Fugl-Meyer assessment of motor function was used to assess motor skills in the upper limbs, lower limbs, balance, and sensitivity and the Beck Depression Inventory was applied to evaluate depressive symptoms. To assess the relationship between both components, Spearman's correlation was performed. Depressive symptoms were negatively correlated with all variables of motor skills. This study suggests that higher motor skills in post-stroke patients may be associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Thus, a better understanding of how post-stroke symptoms are interrelated may improve patient treatment and care, contributing to a better quality of life.


RESUMO Déficits na habilidade motora e presença de sintomas depressivos são comuns em pacientes pós-AVC. Assim, é necessário compreender como estas variáveis interagem entre si. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar esta relação em pacientes pós-AVC isquêmico. Participaram 135 sujeitos, com idade média de 60 anos (± 15). Foi utilizado o protocolo de desempenho motor Fugl Meyer para verificar a habilidade motora dos membros superiores, inferiores, equilíbrio e sensibilidade e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck para verificar os sintomas depressivos. Foi realizada a análise de Spearman para verificar a relação entre os dois componentes. Os sintomas depressivos se correlacionaram negativamente com todas as variáveis da habilidade motora. Assim, a maior habilidade motora implicou em menores sintomas depressivos. Portanto, compreender como as sequelas pós-AVC se relacionam auxilia no melhor tratamento e atendimento ao paciente, contribuindo para melhorar sua qualidade de vida.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe relationships between the ECPICID-AVC scale factors and the NANDA-I domains, classes, and Nursing Diagnoses (NDs). Method: Cross-mapping study between the NANDA-I taxonomy and ECPICID-AVC scale was constructed based on the eight ECPICID-AVC scale factors and the 13 NANDA-I domains. A descriptive analysis was performed to present the mapped elements. Results: Areas of similarity and intersection were found between the eight ECPICID-AVC factors and nine NANDA-I domains, 19 classes, and 72 NDs. All scale factors were mapped with the Domain 1/Health Promotion, Class 2/Health Management and the ND "Frail elderly syndrome". Final considerations: The ECPICID-AVC scale factors were mapped with nine domains, their classes and diagnoses. This study demonstrates the importance of identifying nursing diagnoses and their relationship with factors that evaluate caregiving capacity. The ECPICID-AVC can help nurses generate nursing diagnoses regarding the caregiver's needs and their capacities related to care to focus such needs.


RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever como os fatores da escala ECPICID-AVC se relacionam com os domínios, as classes e os Diagnótiscos de Enfermagem (DE) da NANDA-I. Método: Estudo de mapeamento cruzado entre os oito fatores da escala ECPICID-AVC e os 13 domínios da taxonomia NANDA-I. Realizou-se análise descritiva para apresentar os elementos mapeados. Resultados: Identificadas áreas de similaridade e interseção entre os oito fatores da escala e os nove domínios da NANDA-I, bem como entre esses fatores e 19 classes e 72 DEs. Todos os fatores da escala foram mapeados com o Domínio 1/Promoção da Saúde, Classe 2/Controle da Saúde, e o DE "Síndrome do idoso frágil". Considerações finais: Os fatores da escala ECPICID-AVC foram mapeados de acordo com os nove domínios da NANDA-I, respectivas classes e diagnósticos. Este estudo demonstra ser importante que os enfermeiros compreendam como os DEs se relacionam com os fatores que avaliam a capacidade de cuidar de um idoso dependente por acidente vascular cerebral, pois isso permitirá o estabelecimento de diagnósticos mais adequados às necessidades do cuidador e condizentes com sua capacidade de oferecer este cuidado.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a newly designed intensive caregiver education program (ICEP) on reducing cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. One hundred and ninety-six AIS patients were divided into ICEP group and Control group in a 1:1 ratio using blocked randomization method. In the ICEP group, the caregivers received ICEP, while in the Control group caregivers received usual education and guidance. All patients received conventional rehabilitation treatment. Cognitive impairment (assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score), anxiety (assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)-A score and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score), and depression (assessed by HADS-D score and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score) were assessed at baseline (M0), 3 months (M3), 6 months (M6), and 12 months (M12). Cognitive impairment score at M12 and cognitive impairment score change (M12-M0) were increased, while cognitive impairment rate at M12 was reduced in the ICEP group compared with the Control group. Anxiety score change (M12-M0), anxiety score at M12, and anxiety rate at M12 were decreased in the ICEP group compared with the Control group. Depression score change (M12-M0), depression score at M12, and depression rate at M12 were lower in the ICEP group compared with the Control group. Further subgroup analysis based on baseline features also provided similar results. In conclusion, ICEP effectively reduced cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression in AIS patients.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Executive dysfunction occurs in 18.5% to 39% of patients who present with cognitive impairment. Occupational therapy aims to facilitate independence and autonomy, hence improving quality of life. The Executive Function Performance Test - Brazilian version (EFPT-BR) has been developed to assess the need for assistance in performing four basic daily tasks. Objectives: The aims of this research were: (1) to offer cross-cultural adaptation in patients with stroke; (2) to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the EFPT-BR in patients with stroke; (3) to assess the relationship between scores on the EFPT-BR in patients with stroke, and demographic variables, stroke location, symptoms of anxiety and depression. Methods: The transcultural adaptation and validation were performed based on standard procedures, and psychometric properties were assessed in 86 Brazilian patients who suffered a stroke. Results: The test has shown a good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.819). The ICC for intra-rater reliability was 0.435 and for the inter-rater was 0.732. Significant correlations between scores in the EFPT-BR and executive measures (verbal fluency test, clock drawing test, digit span - forwards and backwards, zoo map test and Six Elements Test) were observed. Conclusion: The EFPT-BR is a valid and reliable tool for occupational therapists to assess executive dysfunction in daily routine tasks in patients with stroke in Brazil.


RESUMO Disfunção executiva ocorre em 18,5% a 39% dos pacientes que apresentam comprometimento cognitivo. A terapia ocupacional visa proporcionar independência e autonomia, de modo a melhorar a qualidade de vida. O Teste Desempenho da Função Executiva (TDFE) foi desenvolvido para avaliar a necessidade de assistência para realizar quatro tarefas diárias básicas. Objetivos: Os objetivos desta pesquisa são: (1) realizar a adaptação transcultural em pacientes com AVC; (2) avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da TDFE em pacientes com AVC; (3) avaliar a relação entre TDFE em pacientes com AVC e variáveis demográficas, região afetada pelo acidente vascular cerebral, sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Métodos: A adaptação e validação transcultural foram realizadas com base em procedimentos padrão e as propriedades psicométricas foram avaliadas em 86 pacientes brasileiros que sofreram acidente vascular cerebral. Resultados: O teste apresentou boa consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach: 0,819). A confiabilidade intra examinador foi de 0,435 e para o inter examinador foi de 0,855. Foram observadas correlações significativas entre a pontuação final do TDFE e os seguintes testes de função executiva: teste de fluência verbal, teste do desenho do relógio, Teste de Extensão dos Dígitos (diretos e inversos), subteste do mapa zoológico e subteste modificado dos seis elementos. Conclusão: A TDFE é uma ferramenta válida e confiável para os terapeutas ocupacionais para avaliar a disfunção executiva nas tarefas de rotina diária em pacientes com AVC no Brasil.

ABSTRACT

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a very common complication that leads to increased physical disability, poor functional outcome, and higher mortality. Therefore, early detection and treatment are very important. Since there are currently no specific guidelines for this disorder in China, the purpose of this study was to develop PSD guidelines and provide suggestions for clinicians and related workers.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: No specific quality-of-life scale for stroke patients has previously been translated and evaluated for reproducibility, for use in the Portuguese language. Internationally, the instrument for this purpose is the Stroke Impact Scale 2.0 (SIS). Use of of SIS enables comprehensive analysis on the impact of mild and moderate stroke on patients' lives. The aims here were to translate SIS into Portuguese, adapt it culturally, evaluate its reproducibility and correlate it with SF-36 among stroke patients. DESIGN AND SETTING: Translation and validation study. METHODS: The process of initial and retrograde translation was performed, in addition to cultural adaptation to the Brazilian language and culture. SIS was applied to 40 patients, who answered the questions three times. On the first day, the scale was applied twice by two independent researchers (to evaluate interobserver reproducibility). Fifteen days later, the scale was applied for a third time by another researcher (intraobserver reproducibility). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to measure the reproducibility of the SIS scale. RESULTS: The reproducibility of the whole scale was very good (ICC: 0.73 to 0.99). Intraobserver reproducibility in all domains was also very good (ICC: 0.85 to 0.95). Comparison of SIS with SF-36 showed that the domains of strength, mobility and activities of daily living (ADLs) correlated moderately with the functional capacity domain, as did the ADL domain with general health status. The other correlations were weak. The depression domain showed a moderate negative correlation with the memory and communication domains. CONCLUSION: The translation of the SIS 2.0 scale was easy to understand and it had good reproducibility among stroke patients.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy, acceptability, and tolerability of antidepressants in treating post-stroke depression (PSD) by performing a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the current literature. Eligible studies were retrieved from online databases, and relevant data were extracted. The primary outcome was efficacy as measured by the mean change in overall depressive symptoms. Secondary outcomes included discontinued treatment for any reason and specifically due to adverse events. Fourteen trials were eligible, which included 949 participants and 9 antidepressant treatments. Few significant differences were found for all outcomes. For the primary outcome, doxepin, paroxetine, and nortriptyline were significantly more effective than a placebo [standardized mean differences: −1.93 (95%CI=−3.56 to −0.29), −1.39 (95%CI=−2.59 to −0.21), and −1.25 (95%CI=−2.46 to −0.04), respectively]. Insufficient evidence exists to select a preferred antidepressant for treating patients with post-stroke depression, and our study provides little evidence that paroxetine may be the potential choice when starting treatment for PSD. Future studies with paroxetine and larger sample sizes, multiple medical centers, and sufficient intervention durations is needed for improving the current evidence.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The study aimed to determine the factors associated with health-related quality of life (HRQL) in ambulatory chronic stroke survivors. Methods: Baseline data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) done to determine the effects of aerobic exercise on HRQL were analysed. The Medical Outcomes 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to assess HRQL. Other measures included: functional status (the Barthel Index) and the Older American Resource and Services Questionnaire (OARS), grip strength measured with a dynamometer, lower extremity strength (the Motricity Index), depression (the Geriatric Depression Scale-GDS) and endurance assessed through the six-minute walk test. Data were analysed using the t-test, correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression. Results: One hundred and twenty-eight persons participated (mean age: 64 years, mean time post stroke: 12 months). The Physical Component of the SF-36 was associated with distance walked in six minutes (r = 0.395; p < 0.000), grip strength on the affected side (r = 0.309; p < 0.000) lower limb strength on the affected side (r = 0.287; p = 0.001), Barthel Index (r = 0.253; p = 0.004), OARS (r = 0.378; p < 0.000) and depressive symptoms (p = −0.353; p = 0.000). The independent predictors were: distance walked in six minutes and depressive symptoms. The mental component was significantly related to GDS (r = − 0.391; p = 0.000) and unaffected side lower limb strength (r = 0.251; p = 0.004). Male gender and less depressive symptoms were independently associated with this component. Conclusion: In Jamaican stroke survivors, motor impairment, activity limitation, depression and female gender are associated with poor health-related quality of life long after stroke onset.


RESUMEN Objetivo: El presente estudio estuvo dirigido a determinar los factores asociados con la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) en sobrevivientes de apoplejía crónicos ambulatorios. Métodos: Se analizaron los datos de base de un ensayo controlado aleatorio (ECA) para determinar los efectos del ejercicio aeróbico en la CVRS. La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud se evaluó utilizando los resultados médicos del Cuestionario de Salud de Formulario Breve de 36 Preguntas (SF-36). Otras mediciones incluyeron: el estado funcional (índice de Barthel) y el Cuestionario de Recursos y Servicios para Personas de Edad Avanzada (OARS, en inglés), la fuerza de prensión medida con un dinamómetro, la fuerza de las extremidades inferiores (índice de motricidad), la depresión (Escala de Depresión Geriátrica - EDG), y la resistencia evaluada mediante la prueba de una caminata de seis minutos. Los datos fueron analizados mediante la Prueba t, el coeficiente de correlación, y la regresión lineal múltiple. Resultados: Ciento veintiocho personas participaron (edad promedio: 64 años; tiempo promedio después del accidente cerebrovascular: 12 meses). El componente físico del Cuestionario SF-36 se asoció con la distancia recorrida en seis minutos (r = 0.395; p < 0.000), fuerza de prensión en el lado afectado (r = 0.309; p < 0.000, la fuerza de la extremidad inferior en el lado afectado (r = 0.287; p = 0.001), el índice de Barthel (r = 0.253; p = 0.004), la escala de OARS (r = 0.378; p < 0.000), y los síntomas depresivos (p = −0.353; p = 0.000). Los predictores independientes fueron: la distancia recorrida en seis minutos y los síntomas depresivos. El componente mental estuvo relacionado significativamente con la EDG (r = − 0.391; p = 0.000) y la fuerza del miembro inferior del lado no afectado (r = 0.251; p = 0.004). El género masculino y síntomas menos depresivos estuvieron independientemente asociados con este componente. Conclusión: En los sobrevivientes jamaicanos de apoplejía, el deterioro motor, la limitación de la actividad, la depresión, y el género femenino están asociados con una pobre calidad de vida mucho después del inicio del accidente cerebrovascular.

ABSTRACT

This study examined the psychosocial predictors of poor sleep quality in parents caring for children with developmental disabilities. Methods Sixty-seven parents of children with developmental disabilities and 42 parents of typically developing children completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and measures of parental stress, child problem behaviors, and social support. Results Parents of children with developmental disabilities reported poorer sleep quality. Further, the majority of these parents met the established 'poor sleepers' criterion. The strongest predictor of poor sleep quality was parental stress. This finding withstood adjustment for a number of potential confounders. Conclusions Parental stress is associated with poor sleep quality in parents of children with developmental disabilities. The monitoring and management of sleep issues in these parental caregivers should be a priority for health professionals

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of ischemic stroke on health-related quality of life (QoL) and associate this event with individuals' clinical and sociodemographic characteristics. METHODS: We investigated the clinical and demographic aspects of stroke patients. The Modified Rankin Scale, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QoL) were used for correlation analysis. RESULTS: Among 131 patients with ischemic stroke, 53.4% of patients presented with moderate to severe disability on the Rankin Scale. According to the SS-QoL, several QoL domains were compromised. QoL was significantly negatively correlated with the values of the Rankin and NIHSS scales, indicating lower QoL among people with worse functional status and greater clinical severity of stroke (p<0.001). The use of orthosis and total anterior circulation infarct subtype of stroke led to a more marked reduction in QoL. CONCLUSION: The present study described an inversely proportional relationship between the severity of stroke, disability and QoL. The use of orthosis also had a negative impact on QoL. Early identification of these factors could promote better interventions for individuals with ischemic stroke, minimizing disabilities and improving QoL.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The elderly population faces many difficulties as a result of the aging process. Conceptualize and evaluate their life quality is a challenge, being hard to characterize the impact on daily activities and on functional capacity. The stroke is one of the most disabling neurological diseases, becoming a public health problem. As an aggravating result, there is dysphagia, a disorder that compromises the progression of the food from the mouth to the stomach, causing clinical complications to the individual. OBJECTIVE Characterize the life quality of the elderly swallowing affected by stroke. METHODS Cross-sectional study conducted at the University Hospital, attended by 35 elderly with stroke, being 19 women and 16 men, with age between 60 and 90 years old, that self-reported satisfactory overall clinical picture. It was applied the Quality of Life Swallowing protocol. The data were statistically analyzed, by means of ANOVA tests, Spearman correlation, t test, with significance level of 5%. RESULTS The mean age was 69.5 years; as for the scores obtained by the 35 participants in the 11 domains of the protocol, it was observed a change in score indicating severe to moderate impact in quality of life related to self-reported swallowing (31.8% to 59.5%); the domain that most interfered was the feeding time (31.8%). CONCLUSION Elderly affected by stroke that present dysphagia has low scores in quality of life related to swallowing.


RESUMO CONTEXTO A população idosa enfrenta dificuldades diversas em consequência do processo de envelhecimento. Conceituar e avaliar sua qualidade de vida é um desafio, sendo difícil caracterizar o impacto que provoca em atividades diárias e na capacidade funcional. O acidente vascular encefálico é uma das doenças neurológicas mais incapacitantes, constituindo-se um problema de saúde pública. Como consequência agravante, tem-se a disfagia, desordem que compromete a progressão do alimento da boca ao estômago, acarretando complicações clínicas para o indivíduo. OBJETIVO Caracterizar a qualidade de vida em deglutição de idosos acometidos por acidente vascular encefálico. MÉTODOS Estudo transversal realizado no Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley, em que participaram 35 idosos com acidente vascular encefálico, sendo 19 mulheres e 16 homens, com idade entre 60 e 90 anos, que autorreferiram quadro clínico geral satisfatório. Foi aplicado o protocolo Quality of Life Swallowing. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente, por meio dos testes ANOVA, Correlação de Spearman, teste t, com nível de significância P≤0,005. RESULTADOS A idade média foi 69,5 anos; quanto aos escores obtidos pelos 35 participantes nos 11 domínios do protocolo, observou-se uma variação na pontuação média, indicando impacto grave a moderado na qualidade de vida relacionada à deglutição autorreferida (31,8% a 59,5%); o domínio que mais interferiu foi o de duração de alimentação (31,8%). CONCLUSÃO Idosos acometidos por um acidente vascular encefálico que apresente a disfagia possui escores baixos na qualidade de vida relacionada à deglutição.
