Quality of breast reconstruction service at a university hospital as assessed by the patients

Purpose: To evaluate the quality of breast reconstruction service at a university hospital, as assessed by the patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled adult women who underwent immediate or delayed breast reconstruction by any technique performed at a university hospital between 1 and 24 months before the assessment. The Brazilian version of the Health Service Quality Scale (HSQS) was self-applied to the participants. The HSQS produces percentage scores, which are expressed in values ranging from 0 to 10 for each domain of the scale, and into an overall percentage quality score. The management team was asked to establish a minimum satisfactory score for the breast reconstruction service. Results: Ninety patients were included. The management team considered 8.00 the minimum satisfactory score for the service. The overall percentage score was 93.3%. Only one domain, 'Support,' had an average score lower than that considered satisfactory (7.22 ± 3.0); while the others had higher scores. The domain that scored highest was 'Qualification' (9.94 ± 0.3), followed by 'Result' (9.86 ± 0.4). There was a positive correlation between 'type of oncologic surgery' and 'intentions of loyalty to the service' (ρ = 0.272; p = 0.009) and a negative correlation between 'education' and 'quality of the environment' (ρ = ­0.218; p = 0.039). The higher the patient's level of education, the higher the score attributed to 'relationship' (ρ = 0.261; p = 0.013) and the lower the score of 'aesthetics and functionality' (ρ = ­0.237; p = 0.024). Conclusion: The quality of the breast reconstruction service was considered satisfactory, but there is a demand for structural improvements, better interpersonal relationships, and a stronger support network for patients.

Produção do conhecimento em ginástica: uma análise a partir dos periódicos brasileiros / La producción del conocimiento en gimnasia: un análisis de los periódicos brasileños / Knowledge production in gymnastics: an analysis based on brazilian journals

Resumo: Este artigo, de caráter descritivo do tipo bibliográfico, analisou o cenário (estado da arte) da ginástica nas pesquisas acadêmico-científicas publicadas em periódicos nacionais indexados na área da Educação Física pela Capes entre os anos de 2000 e 2015. Detectaram-se 340 trabalhos distribuídos em 61 revistas, com prevalência na Região Sudeste e destaque de publicação sobre o tema no ano de 2010. Ademais, observou-se que a produção nacional é socializada, sobretudo em revistas de estratos B4, B1 e B2, e que nenhuma das revistas divulgou continuamente estudos sobre ginástica no período analisado. É possível confirmar que a elevação de publicações sobre ginástica coincidiu com a organização e consolidação de eventos na área e que a redução de produções após o ano 2010 pode ser explicada pela busca da internacionalização das pesquisas e interesse de publicação em revistas de maior fator de impacto.

Resumen: Este artículo, de carácter descriptivo bibliográfico, analizó el escenario (estado del arte) de la gimnasia en las investigaciones académico-científicas publicadas en revistas brasileñas indexadas en el área de Educación Física por la Capes entre 2000 y 2015. Se detectaron 340 trabajos distribuidos en 61 revistas, con predominancia de la región sudeste y destaque de publicación sobre el tema en el año 2010. Además, se observó que la producción nacional es socializada, sobre todo en revistas de los estratos B4, B1 y B2, y que ninguna de las revistas divulgó continuamente estudios sobre gimnasia en el período analizado. Es posible afirmar que el incremento de publicaciones sobre gimnasia coincidió con la organización y consolidación de eventos en el área y que la reducción de la producción a partir del año 2010 puede explicarse por la búsqueda de la internacionalización de la investigación y el interés por publicar en revistas de mayor factor de impacto.

Abstract: Based on bibliographic parameters, this article analyzed the current scenario of "gymnastics" in academic-scientific research published in Brazilian journals indexed in the area of Physical Education by Capes in 2000-2015. We found 340 articles on 61 journals, mainly from Southeastern Brazil, with a peak in publication on the subject in 2010. Furthermore, Brazilian production is conveyed in journals from strata B4, B1 and B2, and none of them continuously published studies about gymnastics during the period. It is possible to confirm that the increase in publications coincided with the organization and consolidation of events in the area. A decrease in production after 2010 can be explained by the attempt to internationalize research and high interest in publishing in journals of higher impact factor. (AU)

A produção acadêmica sobre ginástica: estado da arte dos artigos científicos / Bibliometrics parameters in scientific-academic production about gymnastic

Resumo Este artigo, de caráter descritivo do tipo bibliográfico, analisou o estado da arte da ginástica das pesquisas acadêmico-científicas publicadas em periódicos nacionais indexadas na área da Educação Física pela CAPES entre os anos de 2000 a junho de 2015. Detectamos 340 trabalhos que, de maneira geral, são produzidos de forma coletiva, com primeira autoria feminina, com concentração institucional regionalizada (sudeste) e pouca colaboração internacional. Das abordagens dos estudos, destacaram-se as discussões sobre saúde, pedagogia do esporte e fisiologia. Em todas as temáticas, as discussões sobre as modalidades esportivas presentes no programa da Federação Internacional de Ginástica foram pífias.

Abstract Using bibliometrics parameters, this article analyze the “state of art” of the theme “gymnastics” in the academic and scientific researches published in Brazilian Journals indexed in Physical Education Area at CAPES, between 2000 and june/2015. We detected 340 articles. Generally they are produced collectively, normally the first authors are female, with regionalized institutional concentration (southeast) and little international collaboration. The approaches of the studies were, mainlyn about health, sport pedagogy and physiology. In all subjects, discussions on the sports present at the International Gymnastics Federation program were plus lackluster.
