INTRODUÇÃO: Variáveis como depressão, ansiedade, estresse e qualidade de vida oferecem indicativos de saúde e doença de jovens, estudantes em fase de formação profissional, uma vez que representam quatro das dez principais causas de incapacidade no mundo. OBJETIVO GERAL: Avaliar e correlacionar a presença de sinais e sintomas de depressão, ansiedade, estresse e qualidade de vida de universitários de duas instituições, sendo uma pública e outra privada; OBJETIVOS: a) Caracterizar o perfil sociodemográfico; b) Avaliar sintomas de depressão, sinais de ansiedade e estresse e qualidade de vida geral; c) correlacionar as variáveis qualidade de vida, sinais e sintomas de ansiedade, depressão e estresse. MÉTODO: Pesquisa de cunho quantitativo. Para coleta de dados foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: questionário de dados socioeconômicos e culturais; WHOQOL Breve e EADS ­ Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse. Os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente com auxílio do Programa SPSS­ versão 2.0 para Windows. RESULTADOS: Participaram da pesquisa 570 Universitários, 344 estudantes da Instituição Privada e 226 da Instituição Pública, dos gêneros feminino e masculino, entre 16 e 55 anos. Os resultados revelaram que não houve diferença significativa na qualidade de vida nos domínios Psicológico e Social de ambas as Instituições. Os domínios mais afetados, ou seja, aquele, em que os universitários encontram mais prejuízo é no que se referem ao domínio Físico e Meio Ambiente de ambas as Instituições. CONCLUSÃO: Assim sendo, observa-se que os estudantes obtiveram um grau leve de estresse, depressão e ansiedade em ambas as instituições. Ao correlacionar os domínios de qualidade de vida e as variáveis: ansiedade, depressão e estresse, observou-se que quanto maior a depressão, menor a qualidade de vida nos domínios psicológico e ambiental. A partir dos resultados, sugerem-se estudos mais aprofundados.

INTRODUCTION: Variables such as depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life offer indicators of health and illness in young students undergoing professional training, as they represent four of the ten main causes of disability in the world. General. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the correlation of the presence of signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life of university students from two institutions, one public, and one private. OBJECTIVES: a) Characterize the socio-demographic profile; b) Assess symptoms of depression, signs of anxiety and stress, assess general quality of life; c) correlate the variables quality of life, signs, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. METHOD: Quantitative research. The following instruments were used for data collection: socioeconomic and cultural data questionnaire; Brief WHOQOL and EADS ­ Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale Data were statistically evaluated using the SPSS Program ­ version 2.0 for Windows. RESULTS: 570 university students, 344 students from private and 226 from the public, male and female, aged between 16 and 55, participated in the research. The results revealed no significant difference in the quality of life in both institutions' Psychological and Social domains. The most affected domains, that is, the ones in which university students find the most damage, are related to both institutions' physical and Environmental domains. CONCLUSION: Therefore, it is observed that students obtained a mild degree of stress, depression, and anxiety in both institutions. When correlating the domains of quality of life and the variables: anxiety, depression, and stress, it was observed that the greater the depression, the lower the quality of life in the psychological and environmental domains. From the results, further studies are suggested

Los dominios más afectados, es decir, aquél en el que los estudiantes universitarios encuentran más daño está relacionado con el dominio Físico y Ambiental de ambas Instituciones. CONCLUSIÓN: Por lo tanto, se observa que los estudiantes obtuvieron un grado leve de estrés, depresión y ansiedad en ambas instituciones. Al correlacionar los dominios de calidad de vida y las variables: ansiedad, depresión y estrés, se observó que, a mayor depresión, menor calidad de vida en los dominios psicológico y ambiental. A partir de los resultados, se sugieren más estudios.

Dietary counseling adherence during tuberculosis treatment: A longitudinal study.

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of dietary counseling to overcome malnutrition for patients with tuberculosis, with or without HIV, however the response to nutritional treatment depends on patient's adherence to nutritional counseling. OBJECTIVE: Identify the degree of adherence to dietary counseling and predictors of adherence among patients undergoing tuberculosis treatment. DESIGN: Observational prospective follow-up study conducted in adults treating for tuberculosis with or without HIV. Self-reported adherence and 24-h diet recall were checked. Diet counseling according to WHO strategy was offered at each visit for all patients. The endpoint was the adherence to the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) and total calories consumed during tuberculosis treatment. Data were mainly analyzed with marginal models to estimate adjusted trajectories. RESULTS: Sixty-eight patients were included in the study. The maximum probability of total calories consumption of at least one RDA was 80%. The adherence to dietary counseling was low regardless of HIV infection. The negative determinants of adherence were the presence of loss of appetite and nausea/vomiting. For patients with loss of appetite and nausea/vomiting, the probability of total calories consumption of at least one RDA is less than 20% at any time. CONCLUSION: The loss of appetite and nausea/vomiting are highly prevalents and were the main causes of non-adherence to dietary counseling.

Nutritional Supplementation Is a Necessary Complement to Dietary Counseling among Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis-HIV Patients.

UNLABELLED: The Brazilian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization recommend dietary counseling for patients with malnutrition during tuberculosis treatment. Patients under tuberculosis therapy (infected and not infected with HIV) were followed-up to evaluate the effectiveness of dietary counseling. OBJECTIVE: describe the nutritional status of patients with tuberculosis. METHODS: an observational follow-up study over a 180-day period of tuberculosis therapy in adults was conducted. Subjects were assessed for body composition (using BMI, TSF and MUAC parameters), serum biomarkers and offered dietary counseling. The data obtained at each visit (D15, D30, D60, D90, D120, D150, and D180) were analyzed, showing trajectories over time and central tendencies each time. RESULTS: at baseline, the mean age was 41.1 (± 13.4) years; they were predominantly male, with income lower than a local minimum wage and at least six years of schooling. Patients showed predominantly pulmonary tuberculosis. At baseline, all patients suffered from malnutrition. The overall energy malnutrition prevalence was of 70.6%. Anemia at baseline was observed in both groups (63.2%), however, it was significantly more pronounced in the HIV+. At the end, energy malnutrition was reduced to 57.1% (42.9% of HIV- and 71.4% of the HIV+). Micronutrients malnutrition was evident in 71.4% of the HIV- patients and 85.7% of HIV+ patients at the end of tuberculosis therapy. Using BMI (≤ 18.5 kg/m2cutoff) as an index of malnutrition, it was detected in 23.9% of the HIV- and 27.3% of the HIV+ patients at baseline, with no evident improvement over time; using TSF (≤ 11.4mm as cutoff) or MUAC (≤ 28.5cm as cutoff), malnutrition was detected in 70.1% and 85.3% of all patients, respectively. Nevertheless, combining all biomarkers, at the end of follow-up, all patients suffered from malnutrition. CONCLUSION: Although with a limited number of patients, the evidence does not support that dietary counseling is effective to recover from malnutrition in our population.
