Full textObjectius: Avaluar les respostes del neurodesenvolupament en nens i les seves característiques psicomètriques, i, si factors ambientals primerencs (ex., duració de la lactància materna i mares que fumen) poden influir tals respostes.
Mètodes: Dues cohorts prospectives des del naixement en població general (Menorca (N=421) i Ribera d'Ebre (N=79)) van se seguides fins als 4 anys d'edat durant un període de dos anys (2001-2003). Els nens van ser avaluats per tres psicòlegs i els seus respectius mestres per les funcions neuropsicològiques (MCSA), els comportaments de dèficit d'atenció i d'hiperactivitat (TDAH-DSM-IV) i la competència social (CPSCS); junt amb l'administració (en persona) a les mares de qüestionaris generals.
Resultats: Les respostes van mostrar característiques psicomètriques acceptables i els patrons neuropsicològics del TDAH eren consistents amb altres troballes sobre TDAH. La lactància materna de llarga durada estava associada amb una millora de totes les àrees comportamentals avaluades. Fumar durant l'embaràs estava associat a puntuacions cognitives més baixes.
Conclusions: Avaluar el neurodesenvolupament a preescolars sans és factible i necessari per investigar efectes primerencs de factors ambientals i aplicar polítiques preventives de salut pública.
Background: Little is known about neurodevelopment among preschoolers and its susceptibility to environmental factors.
Objectives: Assess neurodevelopmental outcomes and their psychometric characteristics in children; and, if early environmental factors (i.e., duration of breastfeeding and maternal smoking) influence the neurobehavioral outcomes.
Methods: Two prospective population-based birth cohorts (Menorca (N=421) and Ribera d'Ebre county (N=79)) were followed up at the age of 4 years during a two year period (2001-2003). Children were assessed by three psychologists and their respective teachers for neuropsychological functions (MCSA), inattention-hyperactivity behaviors (ADHD-DSM-IV) and social behavior (CPSCS); in addition to maternal in person general questionnaires.
Results: Outcomes showed acceptable psychometric characteristics and ADHD neuropsychological patterns were consistent with other ADHD findings. Long-term breastfeeding was associated with the improvement of all behavioral areas assessed. Maternal smoking during pregnancy was associated with lower cognitive scores.
Conclusions: Assessing neurodevelopment in healthy preschoolers is feasible and necessary to investigate early effects of environmental factors and apply public health preventive policies.

Full textTiivistelmä Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli ensiksi selvittää suomalaisten nuorten tarkkaavuuden ja käyttäytymisen ongelmia suhteessa nuoren perherakenteeseen. Toiseksi tutkittiin näiden nuorten psykososiaalista hyvinvointia. Kolmanneksi tavoitteena oli tutkia ADHD:n (tarkkaavuushäiriö) psykiatrisia liitännäissairauksia suhteessa perheympäristöön. Neljäntenä tavoitteena oli tutkia ADHD:n pysyvyyttä lapsuudesta nuoruuteen. Tutkimuksen ensimmäisessä vaiheessa Pohjois-Suomen vuoden 1986 syntymäkohorttiin kuuluvat 15-vuotiaat nuoret (N = 9 432), ja heidän vanhempansa täyttivät kyselylomakkeet. Kysymykset koskivat nuoren tarkkaavuuden ja käyttäytymisen ongelmia, perheympäristöä ja nuoren elämäntilannetta. Toisessa vaiheessa tutkittiin 457 16–18-vuotiasta kohorttiin kuuluvaa nuorta. Nuoret arvioitiin käyttäen puolistrukturoitua kliinistä haastattelua. Logistisia regressiomalleja käytettiin kuvaamaan ADHD-diagnoosia ja sen pysyvyyttä sekä psykiatrisia liitännäissairauksia suhteessa perheympäristöön. Tytöt raportoivat poikia useammin tarkkaavuuden ja käyttäytymisen ongelmista, kun taas vanhemmat raportoivat tarkkaavuuden ongelmia olevan useammin pojilla kuin tytöillä. Perhetaustaltaan muu kuin ydinperhe oli yhteydessä tarkkaavuuden ja käyttäytymisen ongelmiin sekä tytöillä että pojilla. Nuoret, joilla oli ADHD-oireita, pitivät terveyttään ja psykososiaalista hyvinvointiaan huonona useammin kuin nuoret, joilla näitä oireita ei ollut. Psykososiaaliset ongelmat kasaantuivat niillä nuorilla, joilla oli paljon ADHD-oireita. Myös käyttäytymishäiriöistä, alkoholin väärinkäytöstä ja masennuksesta kärsivät muita useammin nuoret, joilla havaittiin ADHD. Nuoret, joilla oli ADHD ja edellä mainittu liitännäissairaus, asuivat muita useammin muussa kuin ydinperheessä, alemman tulotason perheessä, äidin kanssa, joka oli tyytymätön elämäänsä tai vanhempien kanssa, jotka eivät olleet kiinnostuneet nuorensa asioista. ADHD-diagnoosi pysyi nuoruuteen noin kahdella kolmasosalla niistä, joilla se oli lapsuudessa. Niillä nuorilla, joilla diagnoosi pysyi, oli muita useammin unelmoivasta hajamielisyydestä kertovia tarkkaamattomuusoireita, varhain alkanut masennus- tai käyttäytymishäiriö tai isä, jolla oli itsellään ADHD-oireita. Nämä tulokset osoittavat, että tarkkaavuuden ja käyttäytymisen ongelmat ovat yleisiä suomalaisilla nuorilla, ja erityisesti niillä, jotka asuvat muussa kuin ydinperheessä. Koska ADHD on pysyvä häiriö, se tulee ottaa paremmin huomioon perusterveydenhuollossa ja koulumaailmassa, jotta voitaisiin ehkäistä muita psykiatrisia ja psykososiaalisia ongelmia. Perusterveydenhuollossa erityisesti perheinterventiot ovat tärkeitä

Full textIn Brazil, the prevalence contraceptive use is high, however the incorrect and inappropriate use is frequent, suggesting little knowledge about the methods. Thus, it was evaluated the knowledge about the most used contraceptive methods, measured through a score (0-10) and factors related to this knowledge. It was performed a population-based cross-sectional study, with 3,542 subjects, aged 15 or over, residents of the urban zone of Pelotas, RS. The average score of knowledge was of 4,65 (sd=2,07) being 5,02 (sd=2,10) for women and 4,18 (sd=1,92) for men. The lower age, higher schooling, report of unwanted pregnancy, and lifetime use of contraceptive methods exclusive or combined, were associated with higher knowledge score among men, while for women, the determinants of higher knowledge was higher age, live with partner, higher schooling, better socioeconomic level, not having religion and lifetime use of contraceptive methods exclusive or combined. Although the high prevalence of contraceptive use during the lifetime (75,3%), it is still limited the knowledge about the most used methods, as well as about the menstrual cycle and the fertile period.
A prevalência de uso de anticoncepcional no Brasil é alta, porém é freqüente seu uso incorreto e inadequado, sugerindo escasso conhecimento sobre os métodos. Assim, avaliou-se o conhecimento sobre métodos anticoncepcionais mais utilizados através de um escore (0-10) e fatores associados à este conhecimento. Foi realizado um estudo transversal de base populacional, com 3.542 indivíduos de quinze anos ou mais, residentes na zona urbana de Pelotas, RS. A média de escore de conhecimento foi de 4,65 (dp=2,07), sendo 5,02 (dp=2,10) para as mulheres e 4,18 (dp=1,92) para os homens. Menor idade, maior escolaridade, relato de gravidez indesejada e uso de método anticoncepcional exclusivo ou combinado ao longo da vida, mostraram-se associados a um maior escore de conhecimento entre os homens, enquanto para as mulheres, os determinantes de maior conhecimento foram maior idade, viver com companheiro, maior escolaridade, melhor nível econômico, não ter religião e uso de método anticoncepcional exclusivo ou combinado ao longo da vida. Apesar da alta prevalência de uso de anticoncepcional (75,3%), é limitado o conhecimento sobre os métodos mais utilizados, ciclo menstrual e período fértil.

Full textAntecedentes: Aunque la actividad física es clave para mejorar el pronóstico en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), todavía no se dispone de información que permita adaptar las intervenciones de manera individualizada. El objetivo de la presente tesis es comprender la progresión de la actividad física y explorar sus determinantes en pacientes con EPOC. Métodos: Utilizamos datos basales y de seguimiento (12 meses) de 643 pacientes con EPOC estable de estadio leve a muy grave, procedentes de dos estudios europeos multicéntricos. Evaluamos: actividad física (Dynaport MoveMonitor), experiencia de actividad física (Clinical visit-PROactive physical activity in COPD [C-PPAC]), capacidad funcional de ejercicio (distancia caminada en la prueba de la marcha de 6 minutos [6MWD]) y variables sociodemográficas, interpersonales, ambientales, clínicas y psicológicas. Resultados: (1) La progresión natural de la actividad física a lo largo del tiempo fue heterogénea y se pudieron identificar tres patrones distintos: inactivo, activo que aumenta y activo que reduce. Mientras que el patrón de pacientes inactivo se relacionaba con peores características clínicas de la EPOC, no se pudo predecir la evolución de los activos a aumentar o reducir; (2) la mayor densidad de población y la exposición a largo plazo al NO2 se asociaron desfavorablemente con la actividad física, mientras que una mayor pendiente del terreno se relacionó con una mejor capacidad de ejercicio; (3) la compleción a los 12 meses con una intervención de actividad física conductual estuvo determinada por los hábitos de actividad física previos, así como por facilitadores interpersonales y ambientales, mientras que la respuesta a la intervención se relacionó con diversos factores asociados a la motivación para cambiar a un estilo de vida activo. Conclusiones: Esta tesis muestra que la progresión natural de la actividad física en los pacientes con EPOC es heterogénea y destaca que los factores ambientales, interpersonales y psicológicos son importantes determinantes de la actividad física en los pacientes con EPOC, más allá de los factores clínicos. Resum Antecedents: Malgrat el paper clau de l’activitat física per millorar el pronòstic en pacients amb malaltia pulmonar obstructiva crònica (MPOC), encara no disposem d’informació que permeti individualitzar les intervencions. L’objectiu d’aquesta tesi és entendre la progressió de l’activitat física i explorar-ne els determinants en pacients amb MPOC.

Full textContexte: Il est bien connu que le tabagisme, un comportement répandu et pratiqué dans le monde entier, est associée à des taux élevés de morbidité et de mortalité. Récemment, de multiples études ont démontré que le tabagisme est également associé à l'incidence du diabète de type 2, ainsi que les complications du diabète et l'augmentation de la mortalité spécifique et toutes causes. Le tabagisme est aussi associé avec la dépression. La dépression est 2 fois plus répandue chez les personnes atteintes de diabète et a été lié à la mauvaise observance du régiment de traitement, à l'augmentation des complications, de la morbidité et de la mortalité. Présentement, les données sont insuffisantes pour conclure qu'il existe une association concrète entre le tabagisme et la dépression chez les populations souffrantes de maladies chroniques, le diabète de type-2 en particulier.Objectifs: Pour cette étude, nous avons mené une enquête auprès des adultes québécois ayant le diabète de type 2, afin de déterminer: 1) les différences importantes dans les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, et l'état de santé selon le statut de fumeur, 2) la relation entre le tabagisme et la dépression en tenant compte des variables démographiques et liées à l'état de santé; 3) les différences déterminantes dans la population en fonction de cessation et les tentatives de sevrage, et 4) déterminer s'il existe un lien entre l'état de dépression et la cessation.Résultats: La prévalence du tabagisme dans notre population était égale à la prévalence observée dans l'ensemble de la population canadienne, et semblait être stable sur une période de 4 ans. Les fumeurs excessifs actuels se différaient sur les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, et étaient plus susceptibles d'être moins actifs physiquement, avoir plus de complications du diabète et d'autres maladies chroniques. Le tabagisme excessif a été associé à la dépression dans les analyses transversale et longitudinales, tout en tenant compte de la dépression de base. L'état de cessation du tabagisme différait aussi à travers des caractéristiques sociodémographiques. La catégorie de 'sevrage non-réussite' étaient plus susceptibles d'évaluer leur santé comme moyen / pauvres et ont reporté plus de jours affecté par l'incapacité au cours du dernier mois. Enfin, la dépression a été associé à une probabilité accrue chez la groupe ‘sevrage non-réussite', comparé aux ex-fumeurs (‘sevrage réussite'). Les analyses ont été effectuées en tenant comptes des variables sociodémographiques, de santé et de maladie.Conclusion : Les fumeurs excessifs possèdent un profil de santé qui est pire par rapport aux fumeurs légers, indicatifs d'une tendance dose-réponse dans cette population. En outre, le tabagisme excessif a été associé à la dépression dans les études transversale et longitudinales, De même, l'état de cessation du tabagisme variait selon un nombre de variables. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas de différences dans les variables liées à la maladie, les gens de la catégorie de 'sevrage non réussite' avaient une perception plus pauvres par rapports à leur santé. En outre, les personnes classifiées 'sevrage non-réussite' ont une prévalence élevée de la dépression, et possèdent une probabilité accru pour la dépression par rapport aux ex-fumeurs. Les fumeurs atteints de diabète du type-2 devraient être encouragés à la cessation afin d'éviter les résultats négatifs sur la santé physique et mentale. Les fournisseurs de soins de santé offrant des conseils de cessation devraient tenir compte des différences dans les caractéristiques démographiques et de la maladie lors de l'élaboration des interventions. Par ailleurs, la dépression doit être considérée étant donné qu'il est fortement et indépendamment associée au tabagisme actuel et a un impact considérable sur le sevrage tabagique dans cette population. Des traitements intégrés entre la dépression, la diabète et le tabagisme devront être élaborée pour aider les personne affecté.

South Africa as a country has a high HIV prevalence. Due to the fact that HIV transmission is predominantly heterosexual, HIV discordant couples are a high risk group for HIV. A number of HIV prevention interventions have been targeted at HIV discordant couples including HIV testing and counselling. An HIV prevention trial assessing the efficacy of daily acyclovir on HIV transmission among heterosexual HIV discordant couples was undertaken in South Africa. We conducted a before and after study with the aim of evaluating the effect of HIV counselling and condom provision on sexual behaviour of the heterosexual HIV discordant couples enrolled in this prevention trial.

Full textL'activité physique est associée à un taux de mortalité réduit et à l'amélioration de la qualité de vie chez les adultes atteints de maladies chroniques. L'entraînement physique chez les sujets atteints de la maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique (MPOC) dans le cadre d'un programme de réadaptation pulmonaire entraîne l'amélioration de la dyspnée, de la capacité d'exercice et de la qualité de vie. Cependant, ces améliorations diminuent dans les 6 à 18 mois suivant la fin du programme du, en partie, aux difficultés de maintenir l'activité physique. L'objectif général de cette thèse était d'examiner pendant un an les aspects comportementaux et médicaux (reliés à la maladie) de l'activité physique chez les individus atteints d'une MPOC. Une étude longitudinale fut incorporée à un essai multicentrique randomisé comparant l'efficacité de la réadaptation pulmonaire à domicile à celle en clinique externe. La première étude de cette thèse a évalué l'aspect comportemental de l'exercice avant et après le programme de réadaptation qui était d'une durée de 3 mois. Les habitudes d'exercices, l'auto-efficacité et les barrières à l'exercice se sont améliorées de façon significative suivant la réadaptation. Il a été démontré que les habitudes passées relatives à l'exercice et la capacité à l'exercice ont un effet positif sur l'auto-efficacité en exercice d'endurance (mesurée avant la réadaptation) tandis que les barrières externes, la dépression et le sexe féminin ont un effet négatif. Pour la seconde étude, le modèle logistique longitudinal a démontré que l'adhésion à l'exercice (exercices en endurance au moins 3 jours par se

Full textSexual risk behaviour is the underlying driving force of HIV transmission. The discovery and introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has led to significant changes in the treatment and management of HIV, the benefits of which manifest as reduced viral load and consequently attenuated morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected individuals. As the benefits of ART are realized, prevention research is increasingly focusing on the sexual risk behaviour of subpopulations of HIV-infected individuals with known positive serostatus, who are at high risk of transmitting HIV. This study examines the levels of sexual risk behaviour of HIV-infected individuals seeking care across different service settings in Cape Town, South Africa. Furthermore, it seeks to understand the risk factors associated with sexual activity that could lead to secondary transmission.

Full textPrevious studies have shown that in every drug addicted person’s life there is about five relatives which risks developing co-dependency. Therefore, the riskfactors affect the relative’s mental health and increase the risk of developing other illnesses such as depression, anxiety and emotional issues. The aim of the study was to investigate how co-dependency in close relationships can develop self-destructive behavior and mental illness. With the use of a qualitative method and interviews as a data collecting method, the aim for this study became fulfilled. The study was based on semi-structured interviews, performed by six participants. The results showed similar outcomes for all interviews, such as the prevalence for mental illness, self-destructive behaviour and the importance of introjective identification. These three categories complement each other in the order written. The results indicates that a co-dependent individual could not, without the phenomenon introjective identification and self-destructive behaviour acquire mental illness. However in order to acquire some kind of mental illness the co-dependent person would have to develop self-destructive behaviour, and the results showed that it is not possible without introjective identification in the context of a close relationship. Although, with the use of attachment theory and coping-strategy, the conclusion showed that not every co-dependent developed mental illness. The prevalence of illnesses was affected by the individuals early life attachment-pattern and coping skills. The study led to a conclusion that mental illness is a big issue among co-dependent individuals. Co-dependency is not a determined as a disease, despite the risk of possibly developing mental illness. It is still not a prioritization among public health authorities.
