Full textThe diagnosis of adult ADHD is a complex process that requires information from different sources. Instruments are used to screen or diagnose adult ADHD. The aim of the study was to identify instruments measuring adult ADHD from good quality research. This systematic review was executed following the recommended PRISMA steps. A comprehensive search was conducted across identified databases. The SFS scoring system was used to critically appraise for methodological rigour and coherence. Meta-synthesis was used to summarize extracted data from 26 articles included in the final summation. Ethics clearance was issued by the UWC Senate Research Committee. Sixteen instruments measuring adult ADHD were identified. Screening instruments measure core symptoms whereas diagnostic instruments assess all criteria. Fourteen instruments were based on DSM-IV criteria and four were based on DSM-V criteria for adult ADHD including rival explanations for the symptoms. The lack of adoption of DSM-V criteria remains a concern given criticism against DSV-IV criteria for adult ADHD. Overall instruments presented acceptable psychometric properties. However, the performance of the instruments was study dependent. A cautionary note is that these indices must be interpreted carefully. Further research must explore the reasons underlying the lack of adoption of DSM-V criteria in research, and the lack of revision of instruments measuring adult ADHD.

Full textGiven the lack of standardised and locally developed school readiness assessment tools in South Africa, as well as the under-emphasis on emotional and social competency in favour of cognitive domains in assessment of school readiness, many South African children enter mainstream schooling with their emotional wellbeing significantly compromised. Therefore, emphasis on children’s emotional and social competency as a domain of school readiness is essential. The study aims to identify and summarise aspects of the instruments that measure emotional and social competency as a domain of school readiness in preschoolers and their psychometric properties. All ethical considerations in terms of the systematic review process were adhered to

Full textObjective: This study was performed to provide a detailed analysis of the MoCA versus the MMSE, including an item analysis and an examination of threshold scores appropriate for use in different clinical settings. Methods: 135 subjects enrolled in a longitudinal clinicopathologic study were administered the MoCA and MMSE. Subjects were classified as cognitively impaired or cognitively normal based on neuropsychological testing and consensus conference diagnosis. Results: 89 subjects were cognitively normal, 46 cognitively impaired (20 dementia, 26 MCI). ROC analysis showed that, for any threshold value selected for the MMSE to identify cognitive impairment, a MoCA value with better sensitivity and specificity could be identified. Recall performed best among individual items on the MMSE, and Orientation performed best on the MoCA. Overall, the best discrimination was obtained using a weighted combination of four items (2*MoCA-Orientation + MMSE-Recall + MoCA-Language + 0.5* MoCA-Visuospatial/Executive; AUC 0.94). A MoCA threshold score of 26 had a sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 52% for identifying cognitive 5 impairment. A MoCA threshold score of 21 had a sensitivity of 57% and specificity of 96%. Conclusions: The MoCA was superior to the MMSE in detecting cognitive impairment. Individual domains on the MoCA and MMSE made substantially different contributions to each instrument’s sensitivity, and a weighted subset of items from both instruments performed best in detecting cognitive impairment. A lower MoCA threshold score may be appropriate in a population with a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment such as a memory clinic.

Full textDepressive disorders, tobacco dependence, and alcohol-related disorders (ARD) are highly prevalent and are associated with several comorbidities. Nonetheless, they are still under-diagnosed and under-treated in many health settings. Therefore, this study was aimed at (1) assessing reliability and validity parameters of screening instruments for depressive disorders (Patient Health Questionnaire 2 [PHQ-2] and Well-Being Index 5 [WHO-5]), tobacco dependence (Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence [FTND] and Heaviness of Smoking Index [HSI]), and alcohol dependence (Fast Alcohol Screening Test [FAST], CAGE, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [AUDIT] and their brief versions); (2) performing the factorial analysis of the WHO-5, FTND, and AUDIT; and (3) assessing the comorbidity between the above-mentioned disorders. The test-retest reliability study involved 429 university students and the inter-rater reliability study included 41 patients of a Center for Psychosocial Attention Alcohol and Drugs (CAPS-AD, in the Portuguese acronym). The assessment of the predictive validity, internal consistency, comorbidity, and factorial analysis involved a sample of 530 patients of an emergency unit and the CAPS-AD. Reliability was estimated by means of kappa and interclass correlation (ICC) coefficients. In the predictive validity studies, the SCID-CV was used as the comparison diagnostic measure, with calculation of the areas under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values of the instruments. Concurrent validity was assessed using Spearmans coefficient. Cronbachs alpha coefficient was used to assess internal consistency. The exploratory factorial analysis was conducted according to Kaisers criteria. Comorbidities were analyzed by logistic regression raw and adjusted odds ratio. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05, with a 95% confidence interval. The PHQ-2 and WHO-5 had high levels of reliability (> 0.98) and internal consistency (0.76 and 0.78, respectively). The WHO-5 had an AUC of 0.89; sensitivity of 0.85; and specificity of 0.81 for a cut-off of 9. The PHQ-2 had an AUC of 0.86; sensitivity of 0.74; and specificity of 0.87 for a cut-off of 3. The WHO-5 yielded one single factor, which explained 51% of the data variance. The reliability study of the FTND provided high ICC coefficients (0.92 for test-retest and 0.99 for inter-rater). In the factorial analysis, the FTND yielded two factors. The internal consistency of the FTND was high (0.83), but that of the HIS was below recommended levels (0.56). The FTND and the HIS had high indices of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The AUDIT and its brief versions had internal consistency values between 0.83 and 0.94. In the study of predictive validity, these instruments had AUC between 0.92 and 0.96, with sensitivity levels between 0.84 and 0.93 and specificity levels ranging from 0.83 and 0.94 for the screening of ARD. The shortest version of the AUDIT (AUDIT-3) had excellent results. In the assessment of concurrent validity, expressive correlations were found between the AUDIT and its brief versions (0.91-0.99). In all analyses, the CAGE had satisfactory results, although inferior to those of the brief versions of the AUDIT. The results confirm the validity and reliability of the Brazilian versions of the WHO-5, PHQ-2, FTND, and HIS, as well as the efficacy of all the brief versions of the AUDIT, demonstrating that their psychometric qualities are as satisfactory as those of the full version of the instrument and superior to those of the CAGE. Therefore, the use of these instruments is supported by their viability and validity, which encourage their use in routine clinical practice and research settings. The results also showed that smoking and alcohol abuse and dependence are important predictors of depressive disorders and that alcoholics had a fourfold higher chance of being smokers.

Full textO objectivo desta investigação é estudar os Comportamentos de Adesão ao rastreio do Cancro do Colo do Útero e explorar quais as variáveis que estão significativamente relacionadas. Esta investigação é de tipo descritivo, correlacional, exploratória e transversal. Definiu-se os Comportamentos de Adesão como a variável principal, e as variáveis de Caracterização das Participantes e as Psicológicas, como as de influência. A amostra é constituída por 400 mulheres ( entre os 18 e 65 anos ) utentes do Centro de Saúde de Peniche, que preencheram um questionário. Para o tratamento dos dados recorreu-se à estatística descritiva, percentual e à estatística não paramétrica. Verificou-se, descritivamente, que existe um comportamento de baixa adesão ( 74,8 % ) à citologia. Os resultados da relação entre variáveis parecem interessantes, pois caracterizam os Comportamentos de (baixa/elevada ) Adesão à citologia. As mulheres com um comportamento de baixa adesão posicionam-se de forma indiferente na crença de obstáculos, têm uma baixa crença de vulnerabilidade e preocupação com o Cancro do Colo do Útero e atribuem um baixo valor à sua saúde. Para além disso, são mais novas, solteiras, não têm filhos, fumam, vão ao Médico por doença, nunca foram a consultas de planeamento familiar, não usam método contraceptivo, as que têm filhos não realizaram a revisão do parto, não têm recomendação médica e não têm intenção de realizar a citologia, e preferem um Médico do sexo feminino. As mulheres com um comportamento de elevada adesão têm uma baixa crença de obstáculos, uma elevada crença de vulnerabilidade e preocupação média com o Cancro do Colo do Útero e atribuem elevado valor à sua saúde. Estas mulheres são mais velhas, casadas, têm filhos, não fumam, vão ao Médico para vigiar a saúde, vão a consultas de planeamento familiar, usam a pílula, realizaram a revisão do parto, têm recomendação médica, intenção de realizar a citologia, e não têm preferência pelo sexo do Médico.

Full textINTRODUCTION: The substance abuse is a major social problem in public health in most countries, due to the negative consequences of this behavior on the physical and emotional development of the people involved. The initiation phase of the substance abuse is beginning at earlier ages, and, as a consequence of that, an assessment to identify risk behaviors is very important for an acurate triage and subsequent steps. The objective of this study was to review studies and to describe 3 important instruments validated for Brazil and applied for the assessment of substance abuse in adolescents. METHOD: A literature review study, in the period from January of 1998 to August of 2010, in the databases of: Adolec, MedLine, Lilacs, PubMed and SciELO. In the selection of the studies the following criteria were evaluated: articles with application of the instruments DUSI-R, Teen ASI, and CBCL; the detailing of the instrument utilized for diagnostics; utilization of a performance indicator; quality of the study that enables the performance assessment of the instrument, and its coherence with the literature. RESULTS: 767 articles were found according to the inclusion criteria, and 54 of them were analysed, after the exclusions of the ones that did not meet the detailed criteria. 30 articles for the DUSI-R instrument were found, 25 of them related to interventions, prevalence and others. 5 studies were related to the validation of the instrument, with sensitivity rates varying from 80 to 85% and specificity variying from 70 to 90%. Another measure was the internal consistency with Cronbachs Alpha varying from 0.91 to 0.9451, presented in two studies. For the Teen ASI, 12 articles were found, and 8 of them were related to intervention, prevalence and others. For the validation of the instrument, 4 studies were found, with the reliability in 2 studies varying from r = 0.69 to 0.90, one study with internal consistency with Cronbachs Alpha varying from 0.54 to 0.88 and another study with the area under the ROC curve = 0.88. For the CBCL, 12 studies were found, and 8 of them were related to the prevalence and risk factors. The performance measures were presented in 4 studies, where 2 instruments measured the sensitivity rate varying from 80.4 to 87%. One study report the Cronbachs Alpha between 0.85 and 0.94, and another study studied the psicometric properties for the German version. CONCLUSION: The results of the studies suggest that the instruments included on the research evaluate the substance abuse in adolescents, with good psychometric properties, although in different ways. The Teen ASI and DUSI-R evaluate the substance abuse and other areas of life. The CBCL is useful to evaluate the mental health, and its not specific to conduct an assessment for substance abuse. So, when choosing assessment instruments, its important to consider: time management, investment in the education of the professionals; and consolidation of the results that contribute effectively to the improvement of the treatment

A desnutrição é um achado comum em pacientes hospitalizados e muitas vezes seu quadro é agravado pela falta de diagnóstico precoce. Cuidados nutricionais adequados começam com a identificação de pacientes em risco nutricional (RN) no momento do internamento, por intermédio de uma ferramenta de triagem. Entretanto, com o aumento de admissões hospitalares, torna-se impraticável ao profissional de saúde triar todos os pacientes em tempo hábil. O presente estudo, do tipo de avaliação, teve como objetivo avaliar a aplicabilidade de um instrumento de auto-triagem nutricional em pacientes adultos de ambos os sexos admitidos para internamento no período de julho a outubro de 2015 em um hospital público de Pernambuco. A auto-triagem nutricional foi realizada pelos pacientes elegíveis, como também pelo pesquisador, e ao final sua concordância foi avaliada pelo coeficiente Kappa. A avaliação da diferença entre a altura e o peso aferidos pelo avaliador e a altura referida e o peso aferido pelo paciente foi realizada por meio do teste de Wilcoxon, sendo construído o gráfico de Bland & Altman. Para avaliar a associação entre variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas com o risco nutricional identificado pelo avaliador foi realizado teste do Qui-quadrado. O estudo envolveu 171 pacientes, sendo 59,1% do sexo feminino. A idade média dos pacientes foi de 51,7 ± 15,3 anos. Os resultados mostraram que um percentual elevado 47,9% (n=82) de pacientes não conseguiram realizar a auto-triagem, devolvendo o formulário ao pesquisador em branco ou incompleto, sendo o baixo grau de instrução e idade uma das principais razões. O peso médio registrado pelo paciente (68,4Kg ± 15,0) foi semelhante ao aferido pelo nutricionista (68,2Kg ± 15,1), resultado similar foi evidenciado na comparação entre a altura referida pelo paciente e a aferida pelo nutricionista, com diferencial de 0,03cm. Na comparação entre o RN avaliado pelo profissional de nutrição e o RN avaliado pelo paciente na auto-triagem, verifica-se que houve concordância no diagnóstico de RN em 91,9% dos casos e que 26,9% dos pacientes considerados sem risco pelo profissional foram incluídos como risco na auto-triagem. Na análise realizada pelo Kappa houve moderada concordância entre os dois diagnósticos (k=0,62; p=0,001). Na avaliação da concordância entre as duas aferições de peso e altura com o teste de Bland Altman, verificou-se uma boa concordância, com viés próximo a zero nas duas avaliações. De um modo geral, consideramos satisfatória, para a prática clínica, os resultados da auto-triagem. No entanto, como somente 52,1% da população foi capaz de responder o instrumento, conclui-se que ainda não é viável sua inclusão em um serviço que atenda pessoas de baixo grau de instrução, sugerindo então que novas pesquisas e adaptações para auto-triagem sejam realizadas.
Malnutrition is a common finding in hospitalized patients, and often the condition deteriorates for lack of an early diagnosis. Proper nutritional care begins with the identification of patients at nutritional risk by use of a screening tool on admission. However, as hospital admissions increase, it is impossible for health professionals to screen all patients in a timely manner. The present study aimed to assess the applicability of a nutritional self-screening tool in adult males and females admitted to a public hospital in Pernambuco between July and October of 2015. Nutritional self-screening was performed by eligible patients and by the researcher, and later their agreement was measured by the Kappa coefficient. The differences between the self-reported and measured weight and height were assessed by Wilcoxon’s test, with subsequent construction of the Bland & Altman graph. The chi-square test measured whether clinical and sociodemographic variables were associated with nutritional risk diagnosed by the researcher. The study included 171 patients, of which 59.1% were females. The mean age of the sample was 51.7 ± 15.3 years. A considerable percentage of patients (47.9%, n=82) could not screen themselves, returning the self-screening form in blank or incomplete mainly because of low education level. The mean self-reported weight (68.4 ± 15.0 Kg) was similar to the weight measured by a dietician (68.2 ± 15.1 kg). A similar result was obtained for height as the self-reported and measured heights differed by 0.03 cm. Self-assessed and professionally assessed nutritional risk agreed in 91.9% of the cases, and 26.9% of the patients considered not at risk by the professional were considered at risk according to their self-assessment.According to the Kappa coefficient, the two diagnoses had moderate agreement (k=0.62; p=0.001). The agreements between self-reported and measured weight and height according to the Bland &Altman test were good, with a bias close to zero. Generally, self-screening for clinical practice was considered satisfactory. However, since only 52.1% of the samplemanaged to answer the instrument, its use byhealth care facilities that cater to individuals with low education level is not yet viable, suggesting that new self-screening studies and adaptations are needed.

Full textBackground: The diagnosis of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a challenge. The use of structured questionnaires is well established and the most accepted is the DRSP, a prospectively self-administered questionnaire that needs two months at least to be completed. The PSST is a retrospective self-scale questionnaire, filled at a single time. Aim: To compare these two instruments (PSST and DRSP) to diagnosis PMS. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 127 women between 20 and 45 years with PMS complaints. The women were evaluated about weight, high, Body Mass Index (BMI). After the exclusion of depression by the Prime-MD Questionnaire, the PSST was completed and the women were oriented to complete the DRSP for two months. The agreement between the two questionnaires was assessed by calculating the Kappa (k) and PABAK values. Results: 282 (74% of all the women) women met eligibility criteria and answered the PSST. Only 127 (45% of the 282 women) completed the daily questionnaire (DRSP) for two cycles. The percentual of women with PMS diagnosis by the DRSP was 74.8%, and by PSST was 41.7%. The percentual of women with PMDD diagnosis by the DRSP was 3.9%, and by the PSST was 34.6%. The number of patients considered “normal” (with the symptoms above the necessary for the diagnostic the PMS) was similar with both questionnaires. We found no agreement between the two instruments (Kappa = 0.12) in the diagnosis of PMS and PMDD (Pabak coefficient keep this result = 0.39). For screening PMS/PMDD the PSST has a sensitivity of 79% and a specificity 33.3%. Conclusion: The PSST should be considered as diagnostic screening tool. We concluded that positive PMD/PMDD cases of PSST should be ever better evaluated by DRSP.

O objetivo desta tese é avaliar um instrumento para triagem de problemas de saúde de idosos para uso na atenção primária, a partir da realização de três estudos: o primeiro artigo descreve a adaptação transcultural e a análise da confiabilidade da Escala de Independência em Atividades de Vida Diária (EIAVD), parte da qual foi utilizada no instrumento final. Duas traduções e duas retraduções analisaram as equivalências conceitual, de itens e semântica para a escolha da versão final. Já a equivalência operacional foi avaliada testando-se a confiabilidade por meio de teste-reteste em 156 idosos. O segundo trabalho relata os resultados da avaliação do apoio social (AS) a idosos, onde se verificou o nível de apoio material, emocional e a interação social positiva de 180 indivíduos. A associação entre AS e estado conjugal, autoavaliaçao de saúde (AVS), humor e doenças crônicas foi analisada por meio de regressão logística. O terceiro artigo detalha as propriedades psicométricas de um instrumento de rastreamento, aplicado em uma amostra de 165 idosos, tendo-se a avaliação geriátrica ampla como padrão-ouro. Estimou-se a confiabilidade entre o exame médico e a triagem para visão, audição, força, mobilidade, AVS, quedas, Índice de Massa Corporal, incontinência urinária (IU), verificando-se, também, a sensibilidade e especificidade de testes para rastreamento de depressão, AS e independência em atividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVDs). Os resultados apontaram para adequada adaptação transcultural da EIAVD, cuja versão em português provou ser equivalente à original em inglês. Quanto ao AS, houve associação entre ausência de depressão e AS satisfatório (OR= 2,32; IC 95% 1,07-5,02). Por fim, a confiabilidade entre os itens da ferramenta de rastreamento e a avaliação médica foi satisfatória para os itens mensurados pelos examinadores e insatisfatória para aqueles avaliados subjetivamente (AVS, pergunta sobre perda auditiva e IU). A sensibilidade e especificidade dos testes de rastreamento de depressão (0,78/ 0,71) e AS (0,68/ 0,80) foram aceitáveis, ao contrário do que ocorreu com as AIVDs (0,52/ 0,81). Concluiu-se que o uso de um instrumento de triagem é factível na atenção primária, devendo-se priorizar os testes com mensuração objetiva pelo examinador, sendo necessários ajustes nas ferramentas de triagem de AIVDs, AVS e IU, de forma a auxiliar a compreensão de idosos com baixa escolaridade e melhorar a acurácia dos instrumentos aplicados nessa parcela da população.
This research aims at assessing the validity of a health screening instrument to be used in primary care of the elderly. Three studies were done. The first one describes the cross cultural adaptation and reliability assessment of The Independence in Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADLS), part of which was used in the final instrument. The conceptual, items and semantic equivalences were analyzed by two translations and back translations, in order to choose the final version. The operational equivalence was checked by assessing the reliability through test re-test in 156 elderly people. The second one assesses the social support in a geriatric consultation. The levels of material and emotional support, and the positive social interaction were analyzed. The association between social support and marital status, self- health perception (SHP), humor and chronic diseases was analyzed by logistic regression. Part of the abbreviated scale was used in final screening instrument construction. The third one verifies the psychometric properties of the screening tool, applied to a sample of 165 elderly people, using the geriatric global assessment as the gold standard. The reliability between the screening and the medical examination was estimated for vision, hearing, handgrip strength, mobility, SHP, falls, body mass index, and independence in activities of daily living (IADL). The results demonstrated a correct cross cultural adaptation of the IADLS, which Portuguese version proved to be equivalent to the English original. As to the social support, there was an association between the absence of depression and satisfactory social support (OR= 2.32; CI 95% 1.07- 5.02). At the end, the reliability between the screening tool items and the geriatric assessment was considered adequate to the items measured directly by the examiner, and inadequate to those assessed in a subjective way through questioning (SHP, hearing deficit, and urinary incontinence). The sensibility and specificity of the depression (0.78/ 0.71) and social support (0.52/ 0.81) screening were acceptable, while the same indicators were inacceptable for the IADL (0.52/ 0.81). We conclude that the use of a screening tool for the primary health care is feasible, giving the due priority to the objective assessment instruments. It is necessary to adjust the screening IADL, urinary incontinence and SHP, in order to improve understanding of elderly people with low level of schooling and the accuracy of these tests in this group.

Full textResumo: Introdução: A doença renal crônica (DRC) atinge um percentual significativo de idosos, além de estar relacionada a uma série de comorbidades, em especial, o transtorno neurocognitivo leve (TNL). A diminuição da taxa de filtração glomerular está significativamente associada a déficits globais na cognição, função executiva, linguagem e memória. Em virtude disso, a triagem cognitiva é fundamental para a população com DRC. Objetivo geral: Estimar a prevalência de TNL em doentes renais crônicos em tratamento dialítico, comparando com um grupo controle (GC) pareado por sexo e idade, e contrastar o uso de diferentes instrumentos de screening para esta finalidade. Material e método: Estudo transversal, caso-controle, no qual foram avaliados 54 pacientes em HD (GHD) e 54 controles saudáveis (GC), pareados por sexo e idade. Os pacientes foram submetidos a avaliação neuropsicológica, compreendida por testes de triagem (Mini-Exame do Estado Mental – MEEM; Avaliação Cognitiva de Montreal – MoCA; Mini-Cog), teste de inteligência (Escala Wechsler Abreviada de Inteligência – WASI), avaliação de qualidade de vida (QV) (The Medical Outcomes Study 36 item Short-Form Health Survey- SF-36), sintomas de ansiedade e depressão (Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck – BAI; Inventário de Depressão de Beck), complementados por dados sociodemográficos, clínicos e laboratoriais.

Abstract: Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects a significant percentage of the elderly, and is also related to a series of comorbidities, especially mild neurocognitive disorder (mNCD). The decrease in the glomerular filtration rate is significantly associated with global deficits in cognition, executive function, language and memory. As a result, cognitive screening is essential for the population with CKD. General objective: To estimate the prevalence of mNCD in patients with CKD undergoing dialysis, comparing to a control group (CG) matched by sex and age, and to contrast the use of different screening instruments for this purpose. Material and methods: Cross-sectional, case-control study, in which 54 patients on HD (HDG) and 54 healthy controls (CG), matched by sex and age, were evaluated. Patients underwent neuropsychological assessment, comprising screening tests (Mini-Mental State Examination - MMSE; Montreal Cognitive Assessment - MoCA; Mini-Cog), intelligence test (Wechsler Abbreviated Intelligence Scale - WASI), assessment of quality of life (QOL) (The Medical Outcomes Study 36 item Short-Form Health Survey- SF-36), symptoms of anxiety and depression (Beck Anxiety Inventory - BAI; Beck Depression Inventory - BDI), complemented by sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory data. Results: The HDG had medians of 60 years-old (50-67; interquartile range), treatment time of 23 months (10-51) and 40.74% had DM as the underlying disease. The groups did not differ in age...

Full textEsse trabalho objetivou promover a adapta??o transcultural para o Brasil da VASS. Os passos para adapta??o transcultural seguir?o a proposta de operacionaliza??o alicer?ado na aprecia??o de diferentes tipos de equival?ncia: a conceitual e de itens, a sem?ntica e a de mensura??o. Para alcan?ar as duas primeiras etapas utilizou-se as t?cnicas de tradu??o e retrotradu??o associada ao procedimento intitulado Painel de Especialistas. Para o pr?-teste e verifica??o de equival?ncia de mensura??o, aplicou-se o question?rio com uma popula??o de 30 e 66 idosos, respectivamente. Para as an?lises dos resultados foi utilizada a estat?stica descritiva e inferencial, em especial o KR-20, teste T de student, correla??o de Pearson e ANOVA univariada, bem como o m?todo kappa de Fleiss para verifica??o do ?ndice de confiabilidade. Verificou-se que o conceito utilizado para constru??o do instrumento, bem como seus itens se mostram adequados ? investiga??o do fen?meno. Evidenciou-se boa equival?ncia sem?ntica entre os itens das retrotradu??es e do instrumento original, especialmente quanto aos resultados de T1 R1. Os ju?zes optaram pelo uso de 11 itens de T1 ? vers?o-s?ntese. A equival?ncia operacional mostrou-se satisfat?ria. Em geral, os resultados apresentados mostraram-se aceit?veis. Quanto ? etapa da equival?ncia de mensura??o, verificou-se que a idade dos participantes variou entre 60 a 84 anos, prevalecendo respondentes idosas (n = 38), representando 57,6% da amostra estudada. O valor do KR-20 para o escore geral do instrumento foi de 0,688 (IC95%: 0,670). Os valores encontrados para as quatro dimens?es propostas pelos autores do estudo inicial do instrumento foram 0,528, 0,289, 0,552 e 0,303, respectivamente. Apenas os valores de consist?ncia interna das subescalas Vulnerabilidade e Coer??o mostraram-se aproximados aos encontrados no estudo original, a saber, 0,550 e 0,390, respectivamente. Verificou-se que com a retirada dos itens n? 04, n? 06 e n? 10, houve aumento do ?ndice de consist?ncia interna da escala total. J? quanto aos valores da consist?ncia interna das subescalas, percebeu-se que apenas com a retirada dos itens n? 09, referente ? escala que dimensiona o Des?nimo, e n? 12, item da subescala Coer??o, ? que houve acr?scimo nesses valores. Destaca-se que esses s?o resultados preliminares, uma vez que ap?s a verifica??o da adequabilidade e de padr?es psicom?tricos iniciais acerca do uso do instrumento para a popula??o idosa, ainda h? de se dar continuidade ? etapa concernente ? verifica??o de propriedades psicom?tricas robustas do instrumento, que indiquem, por exemplo, evid?ncias de fidedignidade em situa??o de teste-reteste, validade de constructo e de crit?rio, se poss?vel e aplic?vel. A principal limita??o do estudo ? a falta de um instrumento padr?o-ouro para testar a fidedignidade, sensibilidade e especificidade do instrumento em quest?o. Apesar desta limita??o, a adapta??o transcultural e a verifica??o de propriedades psicom?tricas preliminares do instrumento de uma medida de autorrelato que afere indicativo de viol?ncia dom?stica contra o idoso tem sua relev?ncia e foi satisfat?ria

Full textObjectives: To develop and to evaluate screening tool to identify children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) at risk for speech disorder addressing the relationship between clinical factors and aspects of speech production and perception in the first three years of life. Methods: The study involved 3 phases: phase 1 the planning and development of the instrument was done combining a list of clinical factors and a list of speech behaviors. After an initial evaluation of the material, by one Pediatrician and one Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) experienced with CLP, the lists were combined creating the screening tool to identify children with Cleft Lip and Palate at Risk for Speech Disorder (CLP-RSP). Phase 2 involved the content evaluation of the CLP-RSP by five Pediatricians and three SLPs from the Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais (HRAC), establishing the Content Validity Index (CVI) followed by refinement of the CLP-RSP. Phase 3 included the preliminary assessment of the CLP-RSP effectiveness in corroborating the speech-language pathologists referrals (follow-up of speech development or speech therapy). Results: The tool developed in this study aims to combine the clinical conditions related to CLP (such as hospitalizations, middle ear conditions, oronasal coupling, for example) with speech behaviors expected during the first three years of life. The content of the material was evaluated by 5 pediatricians and 3 SLPs and, after modifications, the CLP-RSP was created with the purpose of identify what the toddler understands, what the toddler speaks and clinical factors observed during the first three years of life. To better interpret the findings, the items in the CLP-RSP were divided into 6 age groups (0-6months, 7-12months, 13-18months, 19-24months, 25- 30months, and 31-36 months) including three behaviors each for speech production and speech perception paired with possible clinical conditions expected at each age group for babies and toddlers with CLP. The content of the CLP-RSP was evaluated positively with a mean Content Validity Index indicating that 87% of the evaluators considered the content of the material very clear while 13% considered it clear. That is, there was no ratings indicating least clear or not clear content. The tool was applied with 18 caregivers establishing its efficacy in corroborating the SLPs referrals for either follow-up of speech development or intervention with speech therapy. Conclusion: In the present study the screening tool to identify children with Cleft Lip and Palate at Risk for Speech Disorder (CLP-RSP) was developed and its content was evaluated by pediatricians and SLPs experts in CLP management, which agreed in its majority, that the proposed material is very clear. After establishing the tool preliminary efficacy, final refinement was proposed and should be implemented before its use in future studies to validate the screening tool CLP-RSP.

Full textThe cognitive impairment in the old has its effects on their lives, families and relationships with society. A widely used instrument of cognitive assessment is the MMSE- Mini Mental State - that is a screening test whose aim is to select people with probable cognitive deficiency. A significant sample of the population of 394 old people from Batatais - SP, was evaluated through a home survey considering the socioeconomic and health conditions and a screening of depressive symptoms and cognitive performance was done through an instrument based on MMSE. The great majority of people who were interviewed were female (66%) and 75.4% of the old belonged to an age group from 60 to 74 years old, being considered \"younger old\". Regarding scholarship, most of them had attended primary school (62.2%). Considering the illiterate 77.1% were women and 22.9% were men. Concerning marital status a huge difference between the proportion of widows (80.2%) and widowers (19.8%) was found. With reference to familiar income 43.7% of the population earned less than 2.5 minimum wages. To evaluate the cognitive performance a cut off ? 23 for MMSE was used. It was observed that 81.7% of the old were above and 18.3% were under this point. The old who achieved the highest scores had factors such as age (60-69 years old), better scholarship level, reading habits, a good social relationship (mainly with relatives), no high blood pressure, no diabetes, no urinary incontinence, no cataract and absence of depressive symptoms.

Full textThis doctoral dissertation discusses theoretical and empirical aspects of the neuropsychological assessment in cerebrovascular diseases, proposing the construction of a cognitive screening instrument. The thesis was divided into four studies. The Study 1 presents steps and criteria to construct and adapt neuropsychological instruments. In this study, was highlighted the importance to have a theoretical basis to development the items of a test, besides the contribution of psychometry, neuropsycholinguistics, experimental psychology and information processing models. The Study 2 is a systematic review that analyzed the psychometric properties of neuropsychological instruments to evaluate stroke samples and the performance of patients assessed by the studies. It was concluded that many researches use instruments developed for evaluating patients with dementia, not sensitive to adults poststroke. The main deficits of this disease involve processing speed, visuoconstruction, episodic memory, attention and executive functions, which should be included in neuropsychological batteries. The Study 3 empirically investigated which tasks are important for evaluating poststroke patients. When analyzing the performance by items in a brief neuropsychological evaluation instrument, were identified that orientation, oral language, academic abilities (reading, writing and arithmetic) and executive functions tasks best discriminated between clinical and healthy groups. The Study 4 presents the construction and the psychometric properties of Cognitive Screening (TRIACOG) to evaluate adults post cerebrovascular disease. TRIACOG has undergone rigorous steps: literature review, pilot studies, and application in 100 post-stroke adults and 100 neurologically healthy adults. The instrument presents evidence of validity based on content, on relation to other variables (criterion and convergent validity) and on response processes; and test-retest and inter-rater reliability evidences. It is intended that these studies may guide researchers who want to build neuropsychological instruments and contribute with a tool that can be used in the clinical, hospital and research contexts, by health professionals.
