RESUMO
Resumo Objetivo: investigar a associação entre sintomas depressivos e inatividade física em trabalhadores técnico-administrativos de uma universidade pública do Nordeste do Brasil. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado no estado da Bahia. Os sintomas depressivos foram avaliados pelo Patient Health Questionnaire-9 e o nível de atividade física pelo International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Foi realizada análise de regressão de Poisson e estimadas as razões de prevalência (RP) e seus respectivos IC95%. Resultados: 301 servidores participaram do estudo, dos quais 71,1% do sexo feminino. A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi de 25,7% e 52,0% dos servidores declararam ser fisicamente inativos. Sintomas depressivos e inatividade física se mostraram associados com os modificadores de efeito "tempo de trabalho na instituição ≤ 15 anos" (RP: 3,03; IC95%: 1,05;9,16) e "lotação em setores administrativos" (RP: 1,90; IC95%: 1,14;3,18). Conclusão: os resultados evidenciam a associação entre sintomas depressivos e inatividade física em trabalhadores técnico-administrativos de uma universidade pública do estado da Bahia, tendo como principais fatores associados o tempo de trabalho na instituição e a lotação do servidor.
Abstract Objective: to investigate the association between depressive symptoms and physical inactivity in technical-administrative workers from a public university in the Northeast of Brazil. Methods: cross-sectional study. We assessed depressive symptoms and physical activity using, respectively, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. We used Poisson regression analysis, and estimated the prevalence ratios (PR) and their respective 95%CI. Results: 301 workers participated, of which 71.1% were female. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was of 25.7%, and 52.0% of the workers declared being physically inactive. Depressive symptoms and physical inactivity were associated to the effect modifiers "time worked to the institution ≤ 15 years" (PR: 3.03; 95%CI: 1.05;9.16) e "work position at administrative sectors" (PR: 1.90; 95%CI: 1.14;3.18). Conclusion: the results evidence the association between depressive symptoms and physical inactivity in technical-administrative workers of a public university of the state of Bahia. The the main factor associated are time worked to the institution and work position at administrative sectors.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the prevalence and associated social vulnerability factors of complications related to diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) among individuals followed up in a public care centre in Brazil. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with individuals followed up at the diabetic foot service of the State Referral Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology Assistance (CEDEBA) between December 2019 and October 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive analysis and comparison of the prevalence of complications related to DFU were carried out. The factors associated with the outcome variables were verified by hierarchical logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Among the 253 participants in this study, 30.4% had an active ulcer, 57.1% had a previous ulcer and 45.1% had an amputation. Lower limb ulcers were positively associated with male sex (prevalence ratio (PR): 1.22 (1.04-1.43)) and negatively associated with age >60 years (PR: 0.71 (0.61-0.83)), screening for diabetic foot (PR: 0.79 (0.67-0.92)) and the use of public transport to access CEDEBA (PR: 0.82 (0.71-0.96)). On the other hand, amputations were positively associated with male sex (PR: 1.61 (1.23-2.11)) and not working (PR: 3.83 (1.48-9.95)) and negatively associated with age >60 years (PR: 0.57 (0.45-0.74)) and the use of public transport to access CEDEBA (PR: 0.63 (0.49-0.81)). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of complications was higher than in previous studies, and associated with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Further research should be encouraged to investigate the role that determinants of health play in the course of the disease, contributing to the construction of strategies that incorporate formulations developed in the social and economic spheres to broaden the impact of health actions on the prevention of major diabetic foot complications.
