Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Short Screening Instrument for Psychological Problems in Enuresis for use in Brazil (SSIPPE-Br)

Abstract Objective: Enuresis is associated with attentional and emotional comorbidities in 20 to 30 % of cases. The Short Screening Instrument for Psychological Problems in Enuresis (SSIPPE) is a questionnaire that allows the initial screening of these comorbidities. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the SSIPPE for Brazilian children and adolescents (SSIPPE-Br). Methods: Six steps were performed for translation and cross-cultural adaptation: translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, preparation of the pre-final version of the translated instrument, test of comprehensibility of the pre-final version of the tool, and elaboration of the instrument cross-culturally adapted for Brazil, named 13-itens version SSIPPE-Br. To validate the SSIPPE-Br, a cross-sectional study was carried out, in which the validated Brazilian version of the Child and Adolescent Behavior Inventory (CABI) was used. Results: Validation was performed on 127 children and adolescents with a mean age of 9.7 ± 2.8 years, 48 % male. The reliability was estimated using Cronbach's alpha, ranging from 0.86 to 0.89, indicating good internal consistency. The factorial analysis had a good agreement adjustment (KMO 0.755, Bartlett's test < 0.001) and explained 70.5 % of the data variability. In the reproducibility analysis, the Kappa coefficient ranged from 0.94 to 1, which can be considered almost perfect. A highly significant (p-value < 0.001) and direct correlation existed between the three SSIPPE-Br domains and all evaluated CABI domains. Conclusion: The SSIPPE-Br is a valid and reliable tool for emotional problems screening and ADHD symptoms in children and adolescents with enuresis whose first language is Brazilian Portuguese.

Prevalence of depression and its factors among elderly population in Barangay Cabangahan, Consolacion, Cebu

@#<strong>BACKGROUND</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">Depression is a widespread mental disorder that affects 3.8% of the global population, with a total prevalence rate of 5.7% in the age group of 60 and older. Symptoms include feelings of guilt, hopelessness, and thoughts of dying or suicide. The Philippines has a high mental health issue among its older adults, with 7.5 million accounting for 7.5% of the population. The country ranks third in the Western Pacific Region, with 6 million Filipinos suffering from depression and anxiety.</p><strong>OBJECTIVE</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and its associated factors among the elderly group ages 60 and older in Barangay Cabangahan, Consolacion, Cebu.</p><strong>METHOD</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">This study used a cross-sectional research design. Respondents were randomly selected through convenient sampling through house-to-house visitation and face-to-face interviews. Assessment tools were distributed assessing the demographic profile, Family APGAR, and Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9). The depression scale was adapted to determine the prevalence of depression among the elderly. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data, which displayed the frequency distribution and percentage of the respondents’ demographic profile, family function, and prevalence of depression. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the association of the demographic profile and family function with the prevalence of depression.</p><strong>RESULTS</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">The demographic profile of the elderly group is mostly women, comprising 93 (80.87%) of the population; 53 (46.09%) belong to the young-old age group (aged 60–65), and 65 (56.53%) are married. The majority are elementary school graduates, 72 (62.61%); their source of financial support is their children, 42 (35.5%), and employment is 35 (30.43%). Most live together with their immediate family, 106 (92.17%). This study identified 60 (52.17%) of the 115 respondents as having a highly functional family. Only 35.65% (41) of the respondents had mild depression, while 54 (46.09%) reported no or minimal depression. Among the demographic profiles, living alone, having more than one comorbidity, and taking more than one medication may lead to depression among the elderly, with r-values of .191,213 and.222, respectively. The study indicates a significant relationship between family function and the prevalence of depression in the elderly, with a p-value of 0.022 and a weak negative correlation with an r-value of -.214.</p><strong>SUMMARY/CONCLUSION</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">The elderly population is predominantly women, with most being married and living with their immediate family. Highly functional families are evident, while the prevalence of depression is low, with only 35.65% experiencing mild symptoms. The study suggests improving the quality of life for the elderly through intervention programs, health education, and strong, cohesive community networks. Additional assessment instruments, such as the Geriatric Depression Scale, are recommended, as well as increasing the study’s sample size and geographic setting.</p>

Psychometric network analysis of the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) in Paraguayan general population

Background Depression and anxiety are two of the most prevalent and disabling mental disorders worldwide, both in the general population and in outpatient clinical settings. Objective This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) based on network analysis metrics. Methods A total of 911 Paraguayans (23.71% women and 76.29% men; mean age 31.25 years, SD = 10.63), selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling, participated in the study. Network analysis was used to evaluate the internal structure, reliability, and measurement invariance between men and women. Results The results revealed that the PHQ-4 is a unidimensional measure through Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA). Reliability, through structural consistency, identified that 100% of the time, only a single dimension was obtained, and all items remained stable, as they were always replicated within the empirical dimension. The unidimensional structure has shown evidence of configural invariance; therefore, the network structure functioned equally among the different sex groups. Conclusion The PHQ-4 presented optimal preliminary evidence of validity based on its internal structure, reliability, and invariance between sexes. Therefore, it may be useful as an accurate and brief measure of anxiety and depressive symptoms in the Paraguayan context. (AU)

Translation, transcultural adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese and concurrent validity of the rheumatoid arthritis assessment scale (RAKAS-13/Brazil)

Abstract Background Knowledge of patients about Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a necessary aspect to better approach self-management support in a patient-centered manner. The research instrument known as the Rheumatoid Arthritis Knowledge Assessment Scale (RAKAS), consisting of 13 items, is simple, reliable and reproducible, and can be applied in both clinical practice and research protocols. Objectives This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the RAKAS vocabulary into Brazilian Portuguese and to evaluate its concurrent validity. Methods The RAKAS was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and administered to 52 elderly women with RA recruited between May 2021 and May 2022. Concurrent validity was assessed using the Spearman's correlation coefficient between RAKAS and Patient Knowledge Questionnaire (PKQ). Results The participants considered RAKAS-13/BRAZIL easy to understand and did not report any doubts in answering the final version. Concurrent validity of the RAKAS-13/BRAZIL was low compared to the PKQ (ρ = 0.283, p = 0.038). Conclusion The Brazilian Portuguese version of the RAKAS (RAKAS-13/BRASIL) proved to be a questionnaire that was easy and quick to administer to assess patient knowledge about Rheumatoid Arthritis, despite its low correlation with the PKQ in the present study.

Adaptación lingüística y cultural de la escala de trastorno de ansiedad generalizado para pacientes con epilepsias en el contexto cubano

Fundamento: la escala de trastorno de ansiedad generalizado es útil para evaluar esta afección psiquiátrica en pacientes con epilepsias; sin embargo, no ha sido adaptada ni lingüística ni culturalmente para pacientes con esta enfermedad en el contexto cubano. Objetivo adaptar lingüística y culturalmente la escala de trastorno de ansiedad generalizado para pacientes con epilepsias en el contexto cubano. Métodos trabajo de desarrollo tecnológico I+D+i, realizado en tres etapas: adaptación lingüística y cultural, evaluación por criterios de expertos en el tema y pilotaje en pacientes con epilepsias. Se combinaron técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas: consulta a lingüistas y expertos, pilotaje, debriefing, alfa de Cronbach (α) y análisis de eliminación de los ítems. Resultados los lingüistas propusieron cambios semánticos mínimos a dos ítems de la escala. El debriefing arrojó que la escala puede administrarse en menos de cinco minutos, con ítems adecuados e inofensivos. El α = 0,83 del pilotaje evidenció buena fiabilidad del test. No fue necesario eliminar ningún ítem de la escala y las correlaciones ítem total se mantuvieron por encima del nivel mínimo (>0,300). Conclusiones: la adaptación semántica y cultural de la escala al español, como se habla en Cuba, preserva equivalencia con la versión original. Se recomienda comprobar la fiabilidad y validez de la escala GAD-7 en una muestra representativa de pacientes con epilepsias en el contexto cubano.

Foundation: the generalized anxiety disorder scale is useful to evaluate this psychiatric condition in patients with epilepsy; however, it has not been adapted linguistically or culturally for patients with this disease in the Cuban context. Objective: linguistically and culturally adapt the generalized anxiety disorder scale for patients with epilepsy in the Cuban context. Methods: I+D+i technological development work, carried out in three stages: linguistic and cultural adaptation, evaluation by criteria of experts on the subject and trial in patients with epilepsy. Qualitative and quantitative techniques were combined: consultation with linguists and experts, trial, debriefing, Cronbach's alpha (α) and item elimination analysis. Results: the linguists proposed minimal semantic changes to two items of the scale. The debriefing showed that the scale can be administered in less than five minutes, with appropriate and harmless items. The α = 0.83 of the trial showed good reliability of the test. It was not necessary to eliminate any items from the scale and the item-total correlations remained above the minimum level (>0.300). Conclusions: the semantic and cultural adaptation of the scale to Spanish, as spoken in Cuba, preserves equivalence with the original version. It is recommended to verify the reliability and validity of the GAD-7 scale in a representative of patients with epilepsy in the Cuban context.

Comprometimento da Capacidade para o Trabalho e efeitos neuropsicológicos entre trabalhadores com Covid-19 prévia / Impairment of Work Ability and neuropsychological effects among workers who have had COVID-19

RESUMO A Covid-19 é uma doença multissistêmica e consequências funcionais e tardias estão em estudo. Sequelas psicológicas e neurocognitivas podem comprometer a Capacidade para o Trabalho (CT) dos trabalhadores. Objetivou-se investigar a CT de pessoas previamente infectadas pelo Sars-CoV-2, correlacionando-a com avaliação da sonolência, ansiedade, depressão e fadiga. Estudo transversal, com trabalhadores diagnosticados com Covid-19 e em acompanhamento no Serviço de Neurologia da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp). Aplicou-se o instrumento Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT), um formulário com dados sociodemográficos e ocupacionais, bem como escalas de sonolência, ansiedade, depressão e fadiga. Dos 119 trabalhadores que participaram do estudo, mais da metade apresentaram comprometimento da CT (52,9%). Distúrbio emocional foi o agravo relatado mais frequente (31,9%). A regressão logística múltipla mostrou que a interação entre ansiedade e sonolência esteve associada ao comprometimento da CT (OR=4,50 com p=0,002). Ansiedade e sonolência foram alterações tardias da Covid-19 e associadas ao comprometimento da CT dos trabalhadores avaliados. Este estudo demonstra a necessidade de que todos os trabalhadores com teste positivo por Covid-19 tenham sua CT avaliada por ocasião do retorno ao trabalho. Ações de promoção à saúde, reabilitação funcional e adaptação do trabalho de acordo com as sequelas apresentadas pelos trabalhadores.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 is a multisystemic disease, with functional and late consequences still under study. Psychological and neurocognitive sequelae impact workers' quality of life and may compromise the Work Ability (WA). The objective was to investigate the WA of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, correlating it with the assessment of sleepiness, anxiety, depression and fatigue. Cross-sectional study, involving workers diagnosed with COVID-19 under follow-up at the Department of Neurology of Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Application of the Work Ability Index (WAI) analyzed with sociodemographic and occupational variables, as well the sleepiness, anxiety, depression and fatigue scales. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. 119 workers participated in the study and, among them, more than half had WA impairment (52.9%). Emotional disorders were the most frequent reported problem (31.9%). Multiple logistic regression showed that the interaction between anxiety and sleepiness was associated with WA impairment (OR=4.50, p=0.002). Anxiety and sleepiness were associated with previous COVID-19 and they were associated with WA impairment among workers. This study shows the WA evaluation should be provided for all workers with a previous history of COVID-19, when they return to work. This assessment can guide health promotion actions, functional rehabilitation and work adaptation to the sequelae presented by workers, singularly.

Adaptación cultural al Quechua y análisis psicométrico del Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) en población peruana / Cultural adaptation to Quechua and psychometric analysis of the Patient Health Questionnaire PHQ-9 in a peruvian population

Objetivo . Traducir y adaptar culturalmente el Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) a tres variedades del quechua y analizar su validez, confiabilidad e invarianza. Materiales y métodos . 1) Fase de adaptación cultural: el PHQ-9 fue traducido del inglés a tres variantes del quechua (Central, Chanca, Cuzco-Collao) y traducido nuevamente al inglés, posteriormente expertos y grupos focales permitieron adaptar culturalmente las traducciones. 2) Fase psicométrica: se evaluó la uni-dimensionalidad del PHQ-9 adaptado mediante un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (CFA), la confiabilidad se evaluó mediante consistencia interna (Alpha y Omega), y la invarianza de medida según variedades del quechua y variables sociodemográficas se evaluó empleando CFA multigrupos y modelos MIMIC (Múltiples Indicadores y Múltiples Causas). Resultados . Cada una de las adaptaciones del PHQ-9 a las tres variedades de quechua reportaron ítems claros y culturalmente equivalentes. Posteriormente, con 970 datos de quechuahablantes adultos varones y mujeres, el modelo general unidimensional reportó un ajuste adecuado (índice de ajuste comparativo: 0,990, índice de Tucker-Lewis: 0,987, residuo estandarizado cuadrático medio: 0,048, raíz del error cuadrático medio de aproximación: 0,071), lo mismo ocurrió para cada variedad del quechua. La confiabilidad fue alta para todas las variedades (α = 0,865 - 0,915; ω = 0,833 - 0,881). Los resultados del CFA multigrupos y modelos MIMIC confirmaron invarianza de medida según variante del quechua, sexo, residencia, edad, estado civil y nivel educativo. Conclusiones . Las adaptaciones del PHQ-9 a Quechua Central, Chanca y Cuzco-Collao ofrecen una medición válida, confiable e invariante, confirmando que se pueden hacer comparaciones en los grupos evaluados. Su uso beneficiará a la investigación y a la atención en salud mental de poblaciones quechuahablantes.

Objective . To translate and culturally adapt the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to three varieties of Quechua and analyse their validity, reliability, and measurement invariance. Materials and methods . 1) Cultural adaptation phase: the PHQ-9 was translated from English into three variants of Quechua (Central, Chanca, Cuzco-Collao) and translated again into English. Then, experts and focus groups allowed the translations to be culturally adapted. 2) Psychometric phase: the unidimensionality of the adapted PHQ-9 was evaluated by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability was evaluated by internal consistency (Alpha and Omega), and measurement invariance according to Quechua varieties and sociodemographic variables was evaluated by using CFA, multigroups and MIMIC models (Multiple Indicator Multiple Cause). Results . Each of the adaptations of the PHQ-9 to the three Quechua varieties reported clear and culturally equivalent items. Subsequently, data from 970 Quechua-speaking adult men and women were analyzed. The general one-dimensional model reported an adequate fit (Comparative fit index = 0.990, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.987, Standardized root mean squared residual= 0.048, Root mean squared error of approximation=0.071); each of the Quechua varieties also showed an adequate fit. Reliability was high for all varieties (α = 0.865 - 0.915; ω = 0.833 - 0.881). The results of the multigroup CFA and MIMIC models confirmed measurement invariance according to Quechua variant, sex, residence, age, marital status and educational level. Conclusions . The PHQ-9 adaptations to Central Quechua, Chanca and Cuzco-Collao offer a valid, reliable and invariant measurement, confirming that comparisons can be made between the evaluated groups. Its use will benefit mental health research and care for Quechua-speaking populations.

Análise dos indicadores de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho associados a ansiedade e depressão entre agentes comunitários de saúde / Analysis of indicators of pleasure and suffering at work associated with anxiety and depression among community health agents

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar os indicadores de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho associados a depressão e ansiedade entre agentes comunitários de saúde (ACSs). Métodos Estudo transversal, no qual variáveis dependentes foram a presença de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, avaliadas com o Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) e com o Inventário de Ansiedade de Traço-Estado (IDATE). As variáveis independentes foram avaliadas com um questionário sociodemográfico e a Escala de Indicadores de Prazer e Sofrimento no Trabalho (EIPST) do Inventário do Trabalho e Riscos de Adoecimento (ITRA). As associações entre as variáveis foram testadas com o uso de regressão logística multinominal. Resultados Participaram do estudo 675 ACSs, sendo a maioria mulheres (83,7%), com até 40 anos (51,3%). As chances de apresentar sintomas de ansiedade foram maiores entre ACSs efetivos (1,61 [1,10-2,36]), e avaliações críticas ou graves nos fatores realização (Crítica 1,87 [1,30-2,68]; Grave 4,16 [2,06-8,40]) e esgotamento profissional (Crítica 2,60 [1,78-3,80]; Grave 3,97 [2,53-6,21]). Sexo feminino (2,12 [1,03-4,40]), idade de até 40 anos (1,741 [1,05-2,89]), tempo de serviço superior a cinco anos (1,88 [1,18-2,99]), avaliações crítica ou grave nos fatores realização (Crítica 2,53 [1,55-4,10]; Grave 6,07 [2,76-13,38]), esgotamento profissional (Crítica 5,21 [2,30-11,80]; Grave 15,64 [6,53-37,44]) e falta de reconhecimento (Crítica 1,93 [1,13-3,28]) estiveram associados a maiores chances de sintomas depressivos. Conclusões Apesar de se tratar de estudo transversal, que não permite inferir causalidade, os achados sugerem importante associação entre aspectos laborais dos ACS e os sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Sexo feminino e possuir 40 anos ou menos também mostraram relação com o aumento dos sintomas de depressão.

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze indicators of pleasure and suffering at work associated with depression and anxiety among community health workers (CHW). Methods Crosssectional study in which the dependent variables were the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms, assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The independent variables were evaluated using the Scale of Indicators of Pleasure and Suffering at Work (EIPST) of the Inventory of Work and Risks of Illness (ITRA). Associations between dependent and independent variables were tested using multinomial logistic regression. Results 675 CHW participated in the study, the majority being women (83.7%), aged up to 40 years (51.3%). The chances of presenting anxiety symptoms were higher among effective CHW (OR=1.61; 95%CI: 1.10-2.36), and critical or severe assessments in the achievement factors (Critical OR=1.87; 95%CI: 1.30-2.68; Severe OR=4.16; 95%CI: 2.06-8.40) and professional exhaustion (Critical OR=2.60; 95%CI: 1.78-3.80; Severe OR=3.97; 95% CI: 2.53-6.21). Female gender (OR=2.12; 95%CI: 1.03-4.40), age up to 40 years (OR=1.74; 95%CI: 1.05-2.89), length of service greater than five years (OR=1.88; 95%CI: 1.18-2.99), critical or severe ratings on achievement factors (Critical OR=2.53; 95%CI: 1.55-4.10; Severe OR= 6.07; 95%CI: 2.76-13.38), professional exhaustion (Critical OR=5.21; 95%CI: 2.30-11.80; Severe OR=15.64; 95%CI: 6.53 -37.44) and lack of recognition (Critical OR=1.93; 95%CI: 1.13-3.28) were associated with greater chances of depressive symptoms. Conclusions Despite being a cross-sectional study, which does not allow inferring causality, the findings suggest an important association between the work aspects of the CHW and the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Female gender and being 40 years old or younger also showed a relationship with increased symptoms of depression.

Abstract: This study, presented in the form of an article, is part of the Care Process in Health and Nursing research line of the Postgraduate Program in Nursing, and the Multiprofessional Research Group in Adult Health at the Universidade Federal do Paraná. Introduction: nasal and paranasal sinus cancer corresponds to less than 1% of other types of cancer, has etiological factors resulting from the environment, occupational activities and lifestyle, and a latency period varying up to 20 years for the onset of neoplastic symptoms. Objectives: to characterize the sociodemographic, clinical and occupational profile of Brazilians with sinonasal cancer; translate, culturally adapt and validate the Questionario Sulla Storia di Lavoro e Sulle Abitudini di Vita used by the Registro Tumori Seni Nasali e Paranasali from Lombardy, Italy, for the Brazilian cultural context; to examine the sociodemographic, clinical and occupational profile of patients with sinonasal cancer, and relate the occupation to exposure to leather dust,wood dust, chromium and nickel. Article 1: is an observational, descriptive, retrospective study using secondary data from the Hospital Cancer Registry Integrator from 2007 to 2019 with ICDs: C30.0 and C31.0 to C31.9. Analysis of 1,803 records was performed, highlighting that 1,161 (64%) were male, predominant age group of 50-59 years (26%; n=298), white race/color (46%; n=535) , single (55%; n=640), incomplete primary education (40%; n=461), with incidence of neoplasia in the maxillary sinus (52%; n=943), and clinical staging grade IV (32%; n=575). The occupations registered in Brazilians with sinonasal cancer were in Group 6 (64.7%; n=701) - agricultural, forestry and fishing workers, and in Group 8 (26.7%; n=289) - workers in the production of industrial goods and services, mainly in the states of Bahia (11%; n=206) and Minas Gerais (18%; n=327). Article 2: describes a methodological study with the steps of translation, synthesis, back-translation, back-translation report, review, pilot test and final translation proposed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. The instrument was divided into 11 domains according to characteristics of the questions in the original instrument. The pre-test was carried out between July and September 2021 in a reference hospital in oncology in the state of Paraná, Brazil, with 15 participants that were patients with nasal and paranasal sinus cancer, and five family members. The instrument obtained an index of 94% agreement among judges, who made suggestions for inclusion, semantic maintenance and replacement in 11 domains. In the pre-test, although participants confirmed their 100% (n=15) understanding of questions and domains, all had difficulty interpreting the word "popper", and 53% (n=8) made suggestions for improvements in the questionnaire. One participant requested the inclusion of hookah in smoking habits. Article 3: consists of a case series report from an oncology hospital in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil, from 2005 to 2021. Patients of both sexes aged over 18 years, with ICD C30 and group C31, under healthcare in the last 12 months at the hospital, or family members (in the case of patient's death) aged 18 years or older were included. Participants were interviewed using the Work History and Lifestyle Questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed by simple and absolute frequency. Results: Article 3 had 52 participants that were male (56%; n= 29), married (31%; n= 16), with complete primary education (23%; n= 12) and no history of smoking (27 %; n=14), and the prevalent location was C30.0 in men (33%; n=17) with squamous cell carcinoma (40.3%; n=21). Carcinogenic exposure to wood dust (29.8%; n=17), chromium and nickel (17.5%; n=10), and leather and leather products (14%; n=8). Conclusion: the frequency of nasal and paranasal sinus cancer was higher in males with primary education, in agricultural workers and in the manufacturing industry who were exposed to the carcinogenic agent; the study may motivate reflections on the involvement of nasal and paranasal sinus cancer in the Brazilian context, mainly of occupational origin, according to monographs of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which emphasizes the importance of using a research instrument with complex and essential information of occupational history and lifestyle habits directed to nasal and paranasal sinus cancer.

Prevalence of Smartphone Addiction and its Relation with Depression among School-going Adolescents

Background: Smartphone addiction among adolescents is an increasingly recognized problem worldwide. It affects the psychological well-being of an individual. Aim and objective: The current study aimed to assess smartphone addiction’s prevalence and its relation to depression among adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 school-going adolescents. Smartphone Addiction Scale - Short version (SAS-SV) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to assess the prevalence of smartphone addiction and depression. Data were analyzed using Epi info software for windows (CDC, Atlanta). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of study participants was 14.4 years (SD=1.5 years). The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 23%, while depression was present among 45% of the study participants. Comparatively higher duration of smartphone use was significantly associated with smartphone addiction. Depression was significantly higher among smartphone addicts (77.2%) as compared to their counterparts (35.4%). Conclusion and Recommendation: The smartphone usage of adolescents, if not monitored, could lead to its addiction and thus increase the risk of depression among them. To prevent smartphone addiction, limiting children’s screen time is recommended. In this regard, parents can play a pivotal role by becoming responsible digital role models for their children.

The relationship of major depressive disorder with Crohn's disease activity

Abstract Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) has been related to an increased prevalence of psychiatric disorders and suicide risk (SR). However, the nature of their relationship still deserves clarification. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in patients with CD, and to investigate the relationship between MDD and CD outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving CD patients was performed. CD activity was evaluated by the Harvey-Bradshaw index and CD phenotype by the Montreal classification. The presence of MDD was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire score-9 (PHQ-9). Sociodemographic data and other characteristics were retrieved from electronic medical records. Results: 283 patients with CD were included. The prevalence of MDD was 41.7%. Females had a risk of MDD 5.3 times greater than males. CD disease duration was inversely correlated with MDD severity. Individuals with active CD were more likely to have MDD (OR = 796.0; 95% CI 133.7‒4738.8) than individuals with CD remission. MDD was more prevalent in inflammatory behavior (45.5%) and there were no statistical differences regarding the disease location. 19.8% of the sample scored positive for SR. Conclusion: The present results support data showing an increased prevalence of MDD in individuals with CD. Additionally, it indicates that MDD in CD might be related to the activity of CD. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm these results and to address whether MDD leads to CD activity, CD activity leads to MDD or both ways are existent.

Efficacy of Sacrospinous Fixation or Uterosacral Ligament Suspension for Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Stages III and IV: Randomized Clinical Trial / Eficácia da fixação sacroespinhal ou da suspensão do ligamento útero-sacro no prolapso de órgãos pélvicos nos estágios III e IV: Ensaio clínico randomizado

Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in stages III and IV by sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) or uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) by comparing anatomical and subjective cure rates and quality-of-life parameters (through the version validated for the Portuguese language of the Prolapse Quality of Life [P-QoL] questionnaire) under two definitions: genital prolapse Ba, Bp, and C< −1 (stage I) and Ba, Bp, and C ≤ 0 (stage II). Materials and Methods After we obtained approval from the Ethics Committee (under CAAE 0833/06) and registered the study in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT 01347021), 51 patients were randomized into two groups: the USLS group (N = 26) and the SSLF group (N = 25), with follow-up 6 and 12 months after the procedures. Results There was a significant improvement in the P-QoL score and anatomical measurements of all compartments in both groups after 12 months (p< 0.001). The anatomical cure rates in the USLS and SSLF groups, considering stage 1, were of 34.6% and 40% (anterior) respectively; of 100% both for groups (apical); and of 73.1% and 92% (posterior) respectively. The rates of adverse outcomes were of 42% (N = 11) and 36% (N = 11) for the USLS and SSLF groups respectively (p= 0.654), and those outcomes were excessive bleeding, bladder perforation (intraoperative) or gluteal pain, and urinary infection (postoperative), among others, without differences between the groups. Conclusion High cure rates in all compartments were observed according to the anatomical criterion (stage I), without differences in P-QoL scores and complications either with USLS or SSLF for the surgical treatment of accentuated POP.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a eficácia e os resultados do tratamento cirúrgico para prolapso de órgãos pélvicos (POP) nos estágios III e IV, por meio da técnica de fixação do ligamento sacroespinal (FLSE) ou suspensão do ligamento útero-sacro (SLUS), ao comparar os índices de cura anatômicos, subjetivos, e os parâmetros de qualidade de vida (por meio do questionário Prolapse Quality of Life [P-QoL] validado para a língua portuguesa) sob duas definições: prolapso genital Ba, Bp e C< −1 (estágio I) e Ba, Bp e C ≤ 0 (estágio II). Materiais e Métodos Após aprovação do Comitê de Ética (CAAE 0833/06) e registro no ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT 01347021), 51 pacientes foram randomizadas em dois grupos: grupo SLUS (N = 26) e (2) grupo FLSE (N = 25), com seguimento de 6 e 12 meses. Resultados Houve melhora significativa nas pontuações no P-QoL e nas medidas anatômicas de todos os compartimentos em ambos os grupos após 12 meses (p< 0,001). As taxas de cura anatômica nos grupos SLUS e FLSE , considerando o estágio 1, foram de 34,6% e 40% (anterior), respectivamente; de 100% em ambos os grupos (apical); e de 73,1% e 92% (posterior), respectivamente. As taxas de resultados adversos foram de 42% (N = 11) e 36% (N = 11), respectivamente, nos grupos SLUS e FLSE (p= 0,654), e elas foram sangramento excessivo, perfuração da bexiga (intraoperatória) ou dor glútea, e infecção urinária (pós-operatória), entre outras, sem diferenças entre os grupos. Conclusão Altas taxas de cura em todos os compartimentos foram observadas segundo critério anatômico (estágio I), sem diferença quanto às pontuações no P-QoL e às complicações tanto com SLUS quanto com FLSE para o tratamento cirúrgico de POP acentuado.

Avaliação do desconforto sensorial causado por estimulação com realidade virtual em voluntários com e sem cinetose / Evaluation of sensory discomfort caused by stimulation with virtual reality in volunteers with and without kinetosis

RESUMO Objetivo comparar os sintomas da cinetose provocados por estímulo de realidade virtual, em voluntários com e sem histórico da doença. Métodos estudo analítico qualitativo e quantitativo, observacional transversal, prospectivo, realizado com voluntários com e sem histórico de cinetose, submetidos à imersão em realidade virtual com o uso de óculos de realidade aumentada. Antes e após a estimulação sensorial, o participante tinha a frequência respiratória (FR), a frequência cardíaca (FC) e pressão arterial sistólica (PAs) e diastólica (PAd) medidas. No primeiro dia, o voluntário foi exposto a um vídeo que simulava uma pessoa dentro de um carro, com predomínio de fluxo visual lateral. Após uma semana, uma animação de montanha russa, com predomínio de fluxo visual frontal. Durante a estimulação sensorial de dez minutos, uma nota de 0 a 10 era dada a cada 30 segundos para a intensidade do desconforto sentido pelo participante. Após, um questionário foi realizado para avaliação dos sintomas de cinetose. Resultados indivíduos com cinetose apresentaram maior intensidade de sintomas, tanto no experimento do carro (p=0,026), como na montanha russa (p=0,035). Não houve correlação entre cinetose e as variáveis FC, FR e PA. Os pacientes com cinetose atribuíram maiores notas de desconforto no curso das experiências, principalmente na experiência da montanha russa. Conclusão indivíduos com cinetose apresentam sintomas mais intensos quando submetidos a estímulos por realidade virtual, se comparados a indivíduos sem a doença.

ABSCTRACT Purpose to compare the symptoms of motion sickness caused by virtual reality stimulation in volunteers with and without history of the disease. Methods qualitative and analytical, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective study, approved by Research Ethics Committee, 3.443.429/19, with volunteers with and without history of motion sickness who were subjected to immersion in VR with the use of virtual reality glasses. Before and after sensory stimulation, the participant had respiratory rate (RF), heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (PAs) and diastolic blood pressure (PAd) measured. On the first day, the volunteer was exposed to a video that simulated a person in a car, with a predominance of lateral visual flow. A week later, an animation of a roller coaster, with a predominance of frontal visual flow. During the 10-minute experiment, a score from 0 to 10 was given every 30 seconds for the intensity of the discomfort felt by the volunteer. A post-questionnaire was conducted to assess motion sickness symptoms. Results individuals with motion sickness history had a higher intensity of symptoms in the car (p = 0.026) and roller coaster experiment (p = 0.035). There was no correlation between motion sickness and the variables HR,FR,PA. Patients with motion sickness gave higher scores of discomfort throughout the experiments, mainly in the roller coaster experience. Conclusion individuals with motion sickness present more intense symptoms when subjected to stimuli by VR compared to controls without disease.
