ABSTRACT
Resumo Introdução a interação complexa entre fatores sociais, psicológicos e biológicos, que resultam na depressão, poderá acelerar a diminuição da capacidade funcional e, consequentemente, a qualidade de vida do idoso. Objetivo Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar os fatores associados aos indicativos de sintomas depressivos de idosos da atenção básica à saúde de um município do noroeste paranaense. Método Estudo epidemiológico, de corte transversal e base populacional realizado em 12 Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS), com 654 homens e mulheres idosos. Foi utilizado um instrumento para caracterização do perfil sociodemográfico dos participantes, assim como o instrumento Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), versão curta. Os dados foram analisados pelo teste de Qui-quadrado e da Regressão de Poisson (p<0,05). Resultados Os resultados evidenciaram que parece existir uma associação dos idosos com boa percepção de saúde (p=0,001), que não ingerem medicamentos (p=0,001), que não sofreram quedas nos últimos seis meses (p=0,011) e que não apresentaram comorbidades (p=0,001), com a ausência de sintomas depressivos. Os idosos com autopercepção de saúde regular (RP = 1,733; 95%IC = 1280-2,347) e ruim (RP = 2,222; 95%IC = 1,525-3,237) demonstraram maior razão de prevalência de presença de indicativo de depressão. Conclusão Conclui-se que os idosos com pior autopercepção de saúde demonstraram maior razão de prevalência de apresentar indicativos de depressão.
Abstract Background the complex interaction between social, psychological and biological factors, which result in depression, may accelerate the decrease in functional capacity and, consequently, the quality of life of the older adults. Objective This research aimed to investigate the factors associated with suggestive symptoms of depression in older adults of primary health care in a municipality in northwest Paraná. Method Epidemiological, cross-sectional and population-based study was carried out in 12 basic health units, with 654 older adult men and women. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), short version, as well an instrument to characterize the participants sociodemographic profile. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and Poisson regression (p <0.05). Results Results showed that there seems to be an association of the older adult with good health perception (p = 0.001), when they did not take medication (p = 0.001), have not suffered falls in the last six months (p = 0.011) and have not presented comorbidities (p = 0.001) in the absence of depressive symptoms. Older adult with self-perceived regular health (PR = 1.733; 95% CI = 1280-2.347) and poor health (PR = 2.222; 95% CI = 1.525-3.237) showed a higher prevalence ratio for the presence of depression. Conclusion Older adult with worse self-perceived health showed a higher prevalence ratio of presenting suggestive symptoms of depression.
ABSTRACT
Este estudo transversal investigou os indicativos de burnout e as estratégias de coping de 200 professores de uma universidade federal. Os instrumentos foram o Questionário para avaliação da Síndrome do Burnout no trabalho e a Escala de Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas. A análise dos dados foi conduzida por meio dos testes de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallise correlação de Spearman(p<0,05). As mulheres presentaram mais desgaste psíquico e culpa, utilizaram mais estratégias voltadas para o problema e buscaram mais apoio social e práticas religiosas para enfrentamento das adversidades do que os homens. Os professores de Programas de Pós-Graduação apresentaram maior ilusão para o trabalho. Os docentes da área da saúde utilizam mais estratégias relacionadas às práticas religiosas do que os docentes dos cursos de sociais/ humanas, e buscam mais suporte social do que os docentes de exatas e sociais/ humanas. As correlações significativas encontradas foram: ilusão pelo trabalho com focalização no problema (r = 0,44), busca de práticas religiosas (r = 0,22) e busca de suporte social (r = 0,31); desgaste psíquico com focalização no problema (r = -0,28) e focalização na emoção (r = 0,31); indolência com focalização no problema (r = -0,24) e focalização na emoção (r = 0,37); culpa com focalização no problema (r = -0,26) e focalização na emoção (r = 0,53). Concluiu-se que as professoras apresentam maiores indicativos de Burnout quando comparados com os homens, mas as professoras e docentes da área de saúde apresentam maiores estratégias de enfrentamento quando comparado aos seus pares. Além disso, os professores de pós-graduação apresentam maiores indicativos de Burnout.(AU)
This cross-sectional study investigated the burnout indications and coping strategies of 200 professors at a federal university. The instruments were the Questionnaire for the assessment of Burnout Syndrome at work and the Scale for Coping with Problems. Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis tests and Spearman correlation (p <0.05). Women showed more psychological wear and guilt, used more strategies focused on the problem and sought more social support and religious practices to face adversity than men. Graduate Program professors showed a greater illusion for work. Teachers in the health field use more strategies related to religious practices than teachers in social/human courses, and seek more social support than teachers in exact and social/human courses. The significant correlations found were: illusion through work focusing on the problem (r = 0.44), search for religious practices (r = 0.22) and search for social support (r = 0.31); psychological wear with a focus on the problem (r = -0.28) and a focus on emotion (r = 0.31); indolence with a focus on the problem (r = -0.24) and a focus on emotion (r = 0.37); guilt with focus on the problem (r = -0.26) and focus on emotion (r = 0.53). It was concluded that teachers have higher indications of Burnout when compared to men, but teachers and professors in the health area have greater coping strategies when compared to their peers. In addition, graduate teachers have higher indications of Burnout.(AU)

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the association between body dissatisfaction (BD), addiction to exercise and risk behaviors to eating disorders (EDs) among Brazilian exercise practitioners, besides comparing the variables according to sex, age group and modality. METHODS: Participants were 60 exercice practitioners of fitness (n = 44) and crossfit (n = 16), with mean age of 26.58 ± 7.76 years. Data collection was conducted through Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), Diagnosis of Orthorexia Questionnaire (ORTO-15), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and Scale of Dedication to Exercise (SDE). Data analysis was conducted through Kolmogorov-Smirnov and independent t tests, Pearson correlation, and Path Analysis (p < .05). RESULTS: Main results showed the association between BD, addiction to exercise and risk behaviour for EDs. Further, individuals dissatisfied with their bodies showed higher level of addiction to exercise and risk behavior for EDs. Furthermore, women showed higher presence of BD than men, and fitness participants reported higher presence of addiction to exercise than crossfit practitioners. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that BD seems to be a determinant factor for risk behavior for ED's and addiction to exercise among fitness and crossfit particpants.
