Class of 2016 Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine if pharmacy students are more likely to use pharmacological agents to manage pain and if men and women are equally likely to use pharmacological agents. Methods: Questionnaires were administered after a regularly scheduled class for first, second and third year pharmacy students. Data collected included a pain intensity rating, whether pain was acute or chronic, how the pain was managed (medication, exercise, etc.) and if pain interfered with activities. Results: A total of 218 students (41% men, 71% aged 19-25) participated; 70% reported acute pain, 16%, chronic pain, and 14%, no pain. Pain intensity was greater in the chronic pain group (5.8 ± 1.7) than in the acute pain group (5.0 ± 2.1; p = 0.028). Chronic pain respondents were more likely to use prescription NSAIDs, muscle relaxers, physical therapy, transdermal electrical nerve stimulation, steroid injections and beta blockers (p < 0.02). There were few differences between men and women; women used OTC NSAIDs and acetaminophen at higher rates than men (p < 0.02). Women also used two non-pharmacological strategies (changed position and relaxation) at higher levels than men (p < 0.02). Students with chronic pain reported more pain interference with daily and leisure activities (p < 0.005) and work (p = 0.003) than students in the acute pain group. Conclusions: Different strategies were used for pain management between acute and chronic pain participants, and also between both men and women. Students with chronic pain reported more interference with activities than those with acute pain.

ABSTRACT Insufficient pain management continues to be problematic for hospitalized patients throughout the country. It significantly interferes with a person's quality of life making it an issue of great concern to nurses in any setting. However, nurses do not do a good job of managing pain. The purpose of this evaluation was to assess graduate nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management. Forty (n=40) graduate nursing students were asked to participate in the evaluation. All students agreed and completed the Demographic Data Form, Nurses Attitude Survey and the Pain Management and Principles Assessment. Thirty-eight females and two males participated in this study. The mean age was 35 years old (SD=9.77) with a range between 24 and 62. The majority of the participants were Non-Hispanic white (70%), followed by African American (10%), Hispanic (10%), Asian and others. The mean years of nursing experience was 10 years with a standard deviation 7.31. The data showed that nursing students demonstrated inadequate knowledge regarding pain management. The mean score on the PMPAT was 66% (SD= 3.61). The mean score on the Nurse Attitude Survey was 77 (SD=5.8) on a survey with scores that could range from 25 to 100. The higher the score the more favorable that nurse is towards pain management. The scores ranged from 69 to 91. Knowledge and attitude scores had room for improvement, suggesting that the curriculum of the college could be improved. In addition, continuing education courses could be developed to support nurses' knowledge of pain management.

Unmanaged pain is a widespread problem that many cancer patients face on a daily basis. Cancer pain, which can either be caused by complications due to the disease process itself or from treatment measures used, has devastating effects on the quality of life for these patients and their caregivers. This study examined the knowledge and attitudes of undergraduate students regarding pain management. The sample in this study consisted of 41 undergraduate students at the University of South Florida College of Nursing. The students sampled were predominantly white, (n=30), female (n=37), seniors (n=41) taking Leadership and Management in Nursing. After volunteering to participate, students completed the demographic data form, the nurses' attitude survey and the Pain Management Principles Assessment Tool. The mean age of students was 22.46 years, with a range from 18 to 42 years. One student indicated that he or she had a bachelor's degree in another field with the majority of students being first time college students (n=31). The results of the study showed that a mean score of 19.4 (SD= 3.0) out of a possible 31(63%) was achieved on the knowledge of the students regarding pain management while, a mean score of 17.0 (SD=2.6) out of 25 (68%) was achieved on the Nurses' Attitude Survey. The data showed that nursing students demonstrated inadequate knowledge regarding pain management, and had mixed attitudes towards pain management. However, a weak to moderate relationship between knowledge and attitudes was found (r=0.33, p=0.038) due to the fact that students lacked the fundamental knowledge, and understanding as to why they were practicing certain pain management skills. Although the sample size was relatively small and not ethnically or demographically diverse, the response from the sample was sufficient in providing statistically meaningful data for this study. The results were seen to be consistent with previous studies that show poor management of pain. The findings of this study suggest the need for the development of specific strategies to effectively teach students about pain management, as well as integrate pain management as a major component of the undergraduate-nursing curriculum to improve patient outcomes.

Back pain has been reported to be the most common type of discomfort in all occupational groups. Studies have shown that dentists experience more neck, shoulder and back pain than practitioners in other occupational groups. This has caused an increase of social and economic costs of healthcare and increased frequency of sickness absenteeism in Western countries. About 72% of dentists experience back pain according to studies done in Western countries thus showing a very high prevalence among dentist. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of back pain among dentistry undergraduate students. As there have been reports of high prevalence of back pain among dentistry students in
Western countries.

Over the past 35 years a growing body of research has shown that many musicians suffer from playing-related discomfort/pain and injury throughout their lifetime. The vast majority of studies have collected cross-sectional quantitative data with the aim of establishing the incidence of injury in a specific population whether that be professional orchestral musicians, tertiary string students, adolescents, or children. Whilst beneficial, this type of research has been unable to provide much detail as to the unique experiences of these individuals, and how these change over an extended period of time. The purpose of this PhD thesis is to gain a better understanding of the perceived impact of personal circumstances, past and present learning environments, and musical culture on the development of playing-related pain and injury among tertiary string students. The study used a multi-phased mixed methods methodology utilising elements of both quantitative and qualitative research. Over a period of 5 years a total of 40 Bachelor of Music string students at an Australian tertiary institution (all the violin, viola, cello, and double bass majors who entered the Bachelor of Music program in 2007 and 2008) participated in twice-yearly questionnaire/interviews. These contained standard and established pain measurement tools namely Fry’s Overuse Injury Scale and the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Additional questions were added to both gather demographic data and also to allow the researcher to explore individual circumstances that may have impacted their playing and playing-related injury circumstances over the 5 year period. Data was also collected from three focus groups. There were only 5 instances in 181 questionnaire/interviews where a student reported they had not experienced any playing-related discomfort/pain since the previous round of data collection. Considering the participation rate remained extremely high at 96%, these results are striking. The perceived severity of student experiences varied greatly with some students suffering from only occasional mild discomfort whilst playing. Unfortunately, there were others who were experiencing severe pain and injury that impacted on their ability to not only play the instrument but also their ability to undertake some everyday activities. The thesis itself consists of 10 chapters and extensive appendices. Chapters 1-3 introduce the research questions, give a detailed review of the literature, and outline the methodology and preliminary data analysis. Chapters 4 to 8, the main discussion chapters, then go on to explore the 5 main areas of perceived influence on playing-related discomfort/pain and the emerging themes. Chapter 4 looks at the influence of past and present learning environments, with a particular emphasis on the Major Study course at the institution. Chapter 5 focuses on the perceived impact of the Orchestra course at the institution and examines factors such as rehearsal structure/scheduling, breaks, atmosphere, repertoire, stretching, ergonomics of the rehearsal spaces, and the Opera component of the course. Chapter 6 considers the relationship between their experiences of playing-related discomfort/pain and the number of hours per day spent playing their instrument and factors within practice such as consistency and content (warm-ups, practice breaks, and repertoire). Chapter 7 examines technique, posture, instrument set-up, and tension. Chapter 8 unpacks the multitude of other influencing factors, which ranged from exercise and diet, outside work, computer use, writing, and day-to-day activities to pre-existing medical conditions, psychological health, and personality. The data was analysed using a mixed-method approach using a variety of qualitative and quantitative methodologies best suited to the research question. Through this process summaries of the individual cases for each of the 40 participants were also generated. (These extensive documents are contained in the Appendix B.) The summaries document the individual journeys of each student and the perceived interaction within and between the 5 main areas of contributing factors to discomfort/pain. The summaries also reinforce the extent to which students had a variety of perceptions of the overlapping, interactive, and highly subjective contributing factors. From these summaries, six specific cases (two violin majors, two viola majors, and two cello majors) were selected for further in-depth analysis in Chapter 9 of the thesis. The final chapter of the thesis, Chapter 10, reviews and discusses the 5 main areas of influence and the relevant themes in relation to the broader literature. It concludes with a general discussion of limitations to the research, recommendations for the institution and other tertiary institutions, and recommendations for further research.

Background: Pain is the most common presenting complaint in patients visiting a healthcare facility. Healthcare professionals need adequate knowledge of pain to be able to manage it effectively. Aim: To determine the Pain Knowledge and Attitudes of the 2018 final year medical students at the University of Cape Town (UCT). Setting: The study was conducted by the Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine in the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, South Africa with final year medical students Methods: Unruh's Modified Pain Knowledge and Attitudes (MPKA) questionnaire was utilized to collect data in a cross-sectional survey using an internet-based electronic format. Results: A total of 104 students out of 232 students in the class (44.8%) participated in the study. The total median score on the MPKA questionnaire was 46 (IQR 44- 50.5) out of 57, or 80.7%(IQR 77.2-88.6%).The participants performed worst in the section on the pharmacological management of pain with median scores of 6 (IQR 4- 8) (55%) correct out of 11 questions. Conclusion: Pain knowledge, especially with regards to the pharmacological aspects of pain management, has some important deficiencies in these final year medical students. It appears that the undergraduate curriculum and teaching thereof would benefit from a review of the pain curriculum.

Low back pain (LBP) remains one of the most common and challenging primary care issues in the developed world. Manual occupations such as nursing are known to involve a high risk of occupational LBP, which is associated with enormous health care expenditure as well as indirect work and disability-related costs. Despite extensive efforts to reduce LBP in nurses, evidence supporting the efficacy of any specific intervention to prevent LBP is limited.The majority of LBP prevention strategies are directed at occupational risk factors in working nurses. However, as there is some evidence that LBP is already a significant problem in nurses prior to commencing full time employment, it is proposed that nursing students should be the focus of prevention interventions. This would require prevention interventions targeting personal rather than occupational LBP risk factors. As the best personal predictor of future LBP is currently a previous history of LBP, further investigation of modifiable personal LBP risk factors is required. Consequently, the aim of this doctoral research was to identify modifiable personal characteristics that predict LBP in nursing students.Firstly, a large survey was conducted on undergraduate nursing students and recently graduated nurses to determine patterns of LBP prevalence. Results from this study indicated that LBP prevalence was very high at the commencement of undergraduate training. Prevalence of LBP did not significantly change during nursing training, but did increase further in the first year of commencing work as a nurse. This increase may be partly explained by the reported increase in occupational exposure to bending and lifting. Age was consistent across the undergraduate year groups and did not influence these findings. It was concluded that nursing students would provide a sufficient number of new-onset LBP episodes (and thus sufficient statistical power) for a prospective study design. Further, as these nursing students were not yet exposed to the occupational LBP risk factors of working nurses, a clearer indication of the influence of modifiable personal factors on the development of LBP could be determined by examining a student cohort.A cross-sectional study investigating the influence of personal physical, psychological and social/lifestyle factors was then conducted on nursing students. Preliminary analysis revealed clear gender differences across multiple domains. Therefore, the focus of further analysis was on the larger female sample.In Part 1 of the cross-sectional study, an investigation of regional differences in lumbar spine posture and movement was undertaken. Analysis of spinal kinematics in this study supported and extended previous literature that has found global lumbar spine kinematics do not accurately reflect the kinematics of the upper lumbar or lower lumbar spinal regions in common postures and movements. Rather, these two regions have a degree of functional independence. This finding has implications for interpretation of measures of spinal posture, motion and loading. Further, body mass index influenced regional lumbar posture and movement, possibly representing adaptation due to load. It was concluded that regional rather than global lumbar spine measures needed to be investigated in further analyses of this doctoral research.In Part 2 of the cross-sectional study, personal characteristics associated with LBP were investigated. Approximately one third of all subjects reported significant LBP in the 12-months preceding the study. Analysis of factors associated with LBP supported the biopsychosocial nature of LBP. Higher stress levels and use of passive coping strategies, increased physical activity levels, holding the lower lumbar spine further from end-range flexion during functional tasks and increased age, all contributed independently to the presence of LBP. These findings supported the hypothesis that modifiable personal characteristics were associated with LBP.The importance of identifying sub-groups of LBP patients has become widely accepted. In Part 3, further exploratory analysis was conducted on this crosssectional data to determine if differences in physical and psychological characteristics were evident in two defined sub-groups of female nursing students with LBP. These sub-groups were based on O’Sullivan’s mechanism based classification system. Results indicated that two sub-groups of LBP subjects had differing physical and psychological characteristics associated with their LBP. Further, control subjects could be distinguished from each of these two sub-groups by different factors. These findings add validity to O’Sullivan’s LBP classification system. Further, the findings may suggest that different combinations of psychological and physical factors are linked to LBP in different sub-groups in this population, and therefore may require different intervention approaches based on these factors.In the final stage of this doctoral research, the cohort of female nursing students was followed prospectively for 12-months. The focus of further analysis was on identifying modifiable personal predictors in a sub-group of subjects with new-onset LBP. The results of this study strongly supported that personal factors from multiple domains are predictors of new-onset LBP. After controlling for previous LBP, age and body weight, regression analysis identified that smoking, increased physical activity levels (both exercise and spinal loading), higher stress levels, reduced back muscle endurance, greater posterior pelvic tilt in slump sitting and more accurate spinal repositioning in sitting were all independent predictors of new-onset LBP. These findings have implications for the development of prevention and management interventions for LBP in nurses.Results from this doctoral investigation support the multi-factorial and biopsychosocial nature of LBP. The important distinction of this research when compared to previous work is the selection of a cohort at the beginning of their working life, with a focus on modifiable personal, rather than occupational factors, associated with LBP. Factors from physical, psychological and social/lifestyle domains were all independently associated with significant new-onset LBP in female nursing students. Interventions utilising a prevention approach that targets modifiable characteristics, such as those identified in this cohort of nursing students, may have the potential to reduce the impact of occupational LBP in this group. These preliminary findings have important implications for future LBP research and clinical interventions.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: The increased prevalence of adolescent upper quadrant musculoskeletal pain (UQMP) is becoming a great concern to health professionals. The risk factors associated with adolescent UQMP are complex and multifactorial, including, among others sitting as a physical risk factor. However, no evidence exists to support sitting postural angles as a potential predictive factor for adolescent UQMP in computing high school students. Thus, the current project aimed to describe the three-dimensional (3D) sitting postural angles of computing South African high school students in a real-life setting, using a well-tested and documented posture measurement instrument. Methodology: This research project is comprised of seven related studies. Part I of the dissertation presents a systematic review describing the reliability and validity testing of posture measurement instruments. This is followed by three primary correlation and repeated measures observational studies aimed at ascertaining the reliability and validity of a newly developed 3D Posture Analysis Tool (3D-PAT) in the measurement of nine sitting postural angles of computing high school students. Part II of the dissertation presents a systematic review, that evaluates the latest published research evidence of whether sitting is related to UQMP, and, if so, to identify the elements of sitting that significantly contribute to UQMP. This review is followed by a description of a cohort study, with a prospective period of one year. The 3D-PAT was implemented in a clinical research setting in order to measure the 3D sitting posture of a cohort of asymptomatic computing high school students and in order to assess the outcome, seated-related UQMP, prospectively. The prospective study design enabled the research project to contribute to an understanding of any causative relationship between the exposure (sitting postural angles) and the outcome (seated-related UQMP) in a subgroup of adolescents (computer users). Results: After the first phase of psychometric testing of the 3D-PAT using high school students, the findings indicated that the instrument required modifications prior to further psychometric testing. The second phase of testing revealed that the 3D-PAT compared very well with the reference standard for measurement of the X-, Y- and Z-coordinates of the reflective markers on a mannequin. The findings from the phase three study, again using high school students, indicated that the 3D-PAT compared very well with the reference standard and justified its use for the measurement of six sitting postural angles of the upper quadrant in computing high school students. For the cohort study, a 60% response rate for participation was achieved at baseline, with 98% of the students participating at six-month and 80% at one-year follow up. Of the students, 33.5% complained of seated-related UQMP during the follow-up period. Exposure to increased head flexion (>80°) (ρ=0.0001) and the combination of increased head flexion and decreased cranio-cervical angles (ρ=0.007) were significant predictors of seated-related UQMP for those computing high school students complaining of pain greater than the 90th percentile for such. Conclusion: The project described in the current dissertation is the first research project to assess sitting postural angles in asymptomatic high school students, while they worked on desktop computers in a school computer classroom and to assess UQMP prospectively. The research project reports a causal relationship between increased head flexion and seated-related UQMP as increased head flexion was found to be a predictor of seated-related UQMP developing within six to 12 months for computing high school students with a pain score equal or greater than the 90th percentile for pain. The research project emphasises that further research is warranted to investigate the causal pathway between sitting posture and adolescents’ UQMP.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding: Die stygende voorkoms van boonste-kwadrant muskuloskeletale-pyn (BKMP) onder adolessente is besig om ’n groot bron van kommer vir professionele gesondheidswerkers te word. Die risiko-faktore waarmee adolessente BKMP gepaard gaan, is kompleks en multifaktories. Dit sluit onder andere sit as ’n fisiese risiko-faktor in. Daar is egter nog geen bewyse om sittende posturale hoeke as potensiële voorspeller van adolessente BKMP te ondersteun nie. Dus beoog hierdie projek om die drie-dimensionele (3D) sittende posturale hoeke van Suid-Afrikaanse hoërskoolleerders wat ook rekenaargebruikers is, in ’n werklike omgewing te beskryf, deur gebruik te maak van ’n instrument wat postuur meet en wat goed getoets en gedokumenteerd is. Metodiek: Hierdie navorsingsprojek is saamgestel uit sewe studies. Gedeelte I van die proefskrif bied ’n sistematiese oorsig van betroubaarheids- en geldigheidstoetsing van instrumente wat postuur meet. Dit word gevolg deur drie primêre korrelasie studies en studies vir die waarneming van herhaalde meting wat die betroubaarheid en geldigheid van n nuut-ontwikkelde 3D instrument vir posturale analise (3D-PAT) bepaal, wanneer nege sittende posturale hoeke van hoërskoolleerders wat rekenaars gebruik, gemeet word. Gedeelte II van die proefskrif bied ’n sistematiese oorsig van die jongste gepubliseerde navorsing om te evalueer of daar bewyse is dat sit verband hou met BKMP, en, indien wel, om die elemente van sit wat betekenisvol bydra tot BKMP, te identifiseer. Die sistematiese oorsig word deur ’n beskrywing van ‘n jaarlange kohortstudie gevolg. Die 3D-PAT is gebruik in ’n kliniese-navorsingsraamwerk om die 3D-sitpostuur van ’n kohort simptoomvrye hoërskoolleerders wat rekenaargebruikers is, te meet en sitverwante BKMP as uitkoms in die vooruitsig te stel. Die studie ontwerp het dit vir die navorsingsprojek moontlik gemaak om ’n insiggewende bydrae te lewer tot begrip vir enige oorsaaklikheidsverwantskap tussen die blootstelling (sittende posturale hoeke) en die uitkoms (sitverwante BKMP) in ’n subgroup van adolessente (rekenaargebruikers). Resultate: Na afloop van die eerste psigometriese toesting van die 3D-PAT, waarin hoërskoolleerders gebruik is, het bevindings daarop gedui dat die instrument verander moet word voordat toetsing kan voortgaan. Die tweede fase van toetsing het getoon dat die 3D-PAT baie goed vergelyk met die verwysingstandaard vir die meet van die X-, Y- en Z-koördinate van die reflektiewe merkers op ’n mannekyn. Die bevindings van die derde fase van die studie, waartydens hoërskoolleerders weer gebruik is, het aangedui dat die 3D-PAT baie goed vergelyk met die verwysingstandaard. Dit het die gebruik van die instrument om ses sittende posturale hoeke van die boonste kwadrant van hoërskoolleerders wat rekenaars gebruik te meet, bevestig. Die kohortstudie het ’n 60%-reaksiesyfer vir deelname behaal tydens die basislynmetings, waarvan 98% leerders deelgeneem het aan die sesmaande-opvolgmetings en 80% aan die eenjaaropvolgmetings. ’n Totaal van 33.5% van die leerders het gekla van sitverwante BKMP gedurende die eenjaar opvolgperiode. Blootstelling aan ’n vergrootte kopfleksie-hoek (>80°) (ρ = 0.0001) en die kombinasie van ’n vergrootte kopfleksie- en verminderde kranio-servikale hoek (ρ = 0.007) was betekenisvolle voorspellers van sitverwante BKMP vir die hoërskoolleerders wat rekenaars gebruik en kla van groter pyn as die 90ste persentiel daarvan. Gevolgtrekking: Hierdie projek is die eerste navorsing wat sittende posturale hoeke van simptoomvrye hoërskoolleerders wat op tafelrekenaars in die skool se rekenaarklaskamer werk, meet en BKMP voorspel. Die navorsingsprojek rapporteer ‘n oorsaaklikheidsverwantskap tussen ‘n vergrootte kopfleksie-hoek en sitverwante BKMP omdat vergrootte kopfleksie ‘n voorspeller is van sitverwante BKMP wat binne ses tot 12 maande by hoërskoolleerders wat rekenaars gebruik, met ‘n pyntelling gelyk of groter as die 90ste persentiel van pyn, ontwikkel. Die navorsingsprojek beklemtoon dat verdere navorsing om die oorsaaklikheidsroete tussen sitpostuur en adolessente BKMP te ondersoek, geregverdig is.

Purpose To understand the factors that influence nursing students’ use of evidence-based pain management guidelines in their clinical placements. Methods/Design Guided by educational and knowledge translation theory, multiple approaches were used: 1. A scoping review of the literature to identify and describe educational strategies to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) by nursing students in the clinical setting, along with associated barriers and facilitators from the literature. 2. A process to develop indicators of the use of pain guidelines in clinical practice. 3. A descriptive case study to determine the gap between evidence-based guideline recommendations and actual practice and to understand the clinical and educational contextual factors that influence nursing students’ use of pain management practice guidelines. Findings The scoping review identified 37 papers in total, 14 descriptive and 23 evaluation studies. Commonly identified barriers were lack of EBP knowledge and skills and lack of support in the clinical setting. EBP projects were the most frequently evaluated educational interventions, alone, or in combination with workshops or journal clubs. During the indicator development process, eleven guidelines were reviewed for quality, resulting in three quality guidelines. From these three guidelines, 12 recommendations were extracted. Quality indicators were then identified by a consensus process, resulting in 24 discrete indicators for the chart audit. For the descriptive case study, fifty-four charts were audited, and interviews were conducted with nine students, seven nurses, one professor, and one clinical instructor. Multiple documents were reviewed, and a site visit was conducted. There are gaps between pain guideline recommendations and practice in the clinical setting. Examples of barriers include the perception that guidelines are not applicable for the clinical setting, lack of knowledge regarding guidelines and an emphasis on task completion in the clinical setting. Facilitators included access to resources, curriculum changes, and the integration of guidelines in policies and procedures. These findings can inform the development, implementation and evaluation of evidence based educational strategies that take into account the multiple actors that impact nursing students’ experience, namely, in-class professors, clinical instructors, and staff nurses. Future education and research approaches should be rooted in knowledge translation and education theory.

This study aims to explore, describe and thus understand the phenomenon of two-year college program students' persistence within the context of Taiwanese culture and tradition; and to develop and provide a framework or patterns for understanding working adult students' persistence for educators. By using a hermeneutic phenomenology approach, the persistence in learning experiences of specific participants was explored based on semi-structured interviews in two exploratory studies linked by a comprehensive literature review. The researcher's own experience of persistence was also included as part of the study. The data were analysed by using thematic analysis and narrative construction. Findings reveal that participants persist with the support of enabling factors and application of coping strategies despite barriers. The intertwined relationship between the value placed on qualifications, identity recognition and views of persistence contribute to the concept of persistence. This concept develops through schemas emerging from the data: historical effect, cultural reproduction and identity construction. Under the influence of Taiwanese tradition and culture, this concept of persistence immerses into the participants' knowledge ground and standpoints to understand the world they live in. The concept is defined as 'no pain, no gain' and includes dimensions of insisting on the right to study, fulfilment of dreams, being a role model of good study habits, personal growth and enrichment. Participants construct both social identity as graduates and personal identity as progressive, competent and respected individuals. The findings of this study benefit both theory and practice. Theoretical implications and recommendations include providing insights into the concept of persistence through development of schema that underpin factors contributing to working adult students' persistence in Taiwan.;Practical implications and recommendations include insights drawn from the perspective of Taiwanese culture and tradition to understand the experience of two-year college program working adult students to persist in a high level learning environment, which informs educators to see themselves as important sources of support and information, and thus able to assist their students to cope with the barriers to their learning, or to extend persistence outside their formal educational settings and maintain their learning.

Resumo:

Currently, sexual assault is characterized as the primary threat to women’s safety on university campuses. Accordingly, many post-secondary institutions in Canada have developed specialized policies, resources, and prevention strategies to address this form of gendered violence. Although a serious concern, the narrow focus ignores university students’ vulnerability to multiple other forms of gendered violence, including intimate partner violence (IPV). In an effort to address this neglected topic, this thesis explores the way five university students experienced and navigated IPV. Adopting an intersectional lens informed by feminist work on gender roles, gendered expectations, and sexual scripts as well as Pierre Bourdieu’s work on class, this thesis examines how gender oppression and class privilege intersect to create unique experiences of IPV for university students. To that end five semi-structured interviews were conducted with women who suffered psychological, physical, sexual, and/or financial abuse while in university. The interviews facilitated open and honest dialogue whilst providing this research project with valuable insight into how IPV plays out among class privileged university students. The thesis concludes that although the participants are oppressed in terms of gender (and susceptible to IPV on this basis) their class privilege also conditioned their experiences of IPV. While affording them access to social and economic resources, the disjuncture between their self-identity as educated, smart, and independent women inhibited their ability to accept their identity as victims; as a result, the participants struggled to disclose, seek help, and address the abuse.

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em Enfermagem
A dor consiste num fenómeno multidimensional que trás um grande impacto a todos os níveis na vida dos doentes. Além do próprio indivíduo, ninguém consegue saber exactamente o que este refere sentir. Apesar de podemos vivenciar o mesmo tipo de dor a intensidade e a tolerância que cada um tem a essa dor é diferente, o que para uma pessoa consiste numa dor insignificante para outra pode ser motivo para nem conseguir levantar-se. Por isso, querer saber de que forma os alunos percepcionam este fenómeno, cuja importância é grande para que exista um bem-estar assim, como um bom nível de conforto. Este estudo consiste num tipo de estudo descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, transversal e teve como instrumento de colheita de dados, um questionário que era constituído por perguntas fechadas e abertas, feitas de forma a responderem à questão deste estudo de investigação, sendo ela: “A Dor: Perspectiva dos alunos do 1º e 4º Ano do Curso de Licenciatura em Enfermagem da Universidade Fernando Pessoa- Porto”. Este trabalho teve como principais objectivos: identificar qual o significado de dor para os alunos do 1º e 4º ano do Curso Licenciatura em Enfermagem da Universidade Fernando Pessoa assim, como compreender qual a importância que estes mesmos alunos atribuem á avaliação da dor. Em relação aos participantes era compreendido por 22 alunos do 1º ano e 19 alunos do 4º ano, sendo que a maioria era do género feminino, em relação à média das idades esta compreende aproximadamente os 24 anos. Neste estudo a maioria dos alunos apresentou uma perspectiva sobre a temática que vai de encontro com a bibliografia, sendo que os que apresentaram mais dificuldades foram os inquiridos do 1º ano, estes resultados podem estar relacionados com o facto de estes alunos nunca terem estado num ensino clinico e ainda não apresentarem uma ideia bem sustentada. Pain is a multidimensional phenomenon that brings a big impact at all levels in patients' lives. In addition to the individual himself, no one can know exactly what this refers feel. Although we can experience the same kind of pain intensity and tolerance that everyone has this pain is different to what a person is a minor pain to another can be no reason to get up to. So, wondering how the students perceive this phenomenon, whose importance is great for there to be a well-being as well as a good level of comfort. This type of study is a descriptive study with qualitative approach and was an instrument of data collection, a questionnaire was designed which consisted of closed and open questions, made in order to answer the question of this research study, with her "Pain: Perspective of the students of 1st and 4th year of the Bachelor of Nursing at the University Fernando Pessoa – Porto. This work had as main objectives: to identify the meaning of pain for the students of 1st and 4th year Degree Course in Nursing at the University Fernando Pessoa as well as understand how important these same students will attribute pain assessment. Of participants was comprised of 22 students from 1st year and 19 students of 4th year, and most were females, compared to the average age that comprises approximately 24 years. In this study the majority of students presented a perspective on the theme that resonates with the literature, and those who had more difficulties were the respondents in the 1st year, these findings may be related to the fact that these students have never been in a teaching clinic and still not having an idea well supported.

Bakgrund:Ländryggssmärta är en vanlig orsak till nedsatt funktionsförmåga och 60–80% av alla vuxna har upplevt smärta i ländryggen någon gång i livet. Fysisk aktivitet (FA) har god evidens att förhindra att ländryggssmärtan utvecklas till kronisk samt för att minska smärta och öka/bibehålla funktion. Fysioterapeutstudenter inhämtar under utbildningen kunskap om betydelsen av FA i både prevention och behandling, men lever vi som vi lär? Syfte:Att undersöka förekomst av ländryggssmärta, genomsnittlig mängd FA samt skillnader gällande mängd och intensitet av FA hos fysioterapeutstudenter i Sverige med respektive utan ländryggssmärta. Studien har även undersökt könsskillnader avseende prevalens av ländryggssmärta. Metod:En tvärsnittsstudie av kvantitativ, komperativ och icke-experimentell design. En webbenkät skickades till samtliga fysioterapeutprogram i Sverige. Totalt deltog 252 personer av uppskattningsvis 1700 studerande. De svarande fick fylla i bakgrundsdata samt för de senaste sju dagarna skatta sin upplevda ländryggssmärta enligt 1–10 på Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) och sin mängd FA på olika intensiteter enligt International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Resultat: Prevalensen av ländryggssmärta var 60% och förekomsten var lika mellan könen (män: 58%, kvinnor: 60%). Majoriteten av deltagarnas aktivitetsmängd klassificeras som hög. Resultaten påvisade ingen skillnad i FA mellan grupperna gällande total, mycket ansträngande samt måttligt ansträngande FA. Konklusion:Inga statistiska skillnader gällande prevalens av ländryggssmärta kunde ses mellan könen. Studien påvisade ingen signifikant skillnad mellan grupperna med respektive utan ländryggsmärta gällande mängd eller intensitet av FA. Vidare forskning behövs på ämnet.
Background:Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause of disability and 60-80% of adults have experienced LBP at some point in their lives. Physical activity (PA) has good evidence to prevent LBP from becoming chronic, reduce pain and increase function. Physical therapy students learn of the importance of PA in both prevention and treatment. But do we live as we learn? Objective:To investigate the prevalence of LBP, average amount of PA and differences regarding the amount and intensity of PA amongst physical therapy students with and without LBP in Sweden. The study has also examined gender differences in the prevalence of LBP. Method:A cross-sectional study with quantitative, comparative and non-experimental design. A web survey was distributed to all physiotherapy programs in Sweden. Out of an estimated 1,700 students, 252 responded. Respondents submitted background information and estimated for the last seven days their LBP from 1-10 according to Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and their amount of PA at different intensities according to International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Results:The prevalence of LBP was 60%. 58% of men and 60% of women estimated LBP in the last seven days. The majority of the participants’ PA was classified as high. The results showed no significant difference in PA between the groups. Conclusion:No statistic differences regarding prevalence of LBP could be seen between the sexes. No significant difference regarding amount or intensity of PA was found between the groups with and without LBP. Further research is needed.

The research investigated the effect of a learning intervention on the development of the self-efficacy (confidence) of undergraduate nursing students for pain assessment of a patient with moderate dementia. Bandura's self-efficacy theory underpinned the development of a new research instrument to measure changes in self-efficacy and also provided a sound theoretical foundation for the development of the learning intervention. Although statistical significance was not demonstrated, preliminary results from the pilot study suggested that the intervention showed promise as a teaching and learning strategy to promote self-efficacy for undergraduate nursing students for pain assessment for patients with moderate dementia. Results from students' evaluation of the learning experience were strongly positive.

O objectivo deste estudo é alertar para a problemática das lesões músculo-esqueléticas de origem ocupacional nos indivíduos que exercem a actividade de medicina dentária, identificando e caracterizando os sintomas músculo-esqueléticos decorrentes da profissão e quantificando a sua prevalência tendo em conta as características sociais e posturais dos indivíduos. Analisou-se uma amostra de 34 médicos dentistas e 34 estudantes de Medicina Dentária, por aplicação de um questionário. Verificou-se que nesta amostra a dor é mais prevalente na região lombar (77,9%), ombros (73,5%) e pescoço (61,8%), não se tendo detectado, em geral, e contrariamente ao que se poderia esperar, diferenças significativas entre a frequência de dor nos estudantes e nos médicos. Tendo-se verificado frequências tão elevadas de dor, é de realçar a importância de actuar na prevenção das lesões músculo-esqueléticas nos dentistas e futuros dentistas. The aim of this study is to warn for the problem of musculoskeletal disorders of occupational origin in individuals who practice dentistry, identifying and characterizing the musculoskeletal symptoms arising from this type of work and quantifying their prevalence taking into account the social and postural characteristics of individuals. We analyzed a sample of 34 dentists and 34 students of dentistry, by application of a questionnaire. It was found that the pain in this sample is more prevalent in the lumbar region (77.9%), shoulders (73.5%) and neck (61.8%), not being detected, in general, and in opposition to what one might expect, significant differences between the frequency of pain on students and doctors. Having so high frequencies of pain, it is necessary to highlight the importance of acting in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in dentists and future dentists.

Sintomas álgicos, de sobrecarga e de alteração da estrutura corporal estão presentes na população adulta e infanto-juvenil. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever e associar postura ortostática, execução de Atividades de Vida Diária (AVDs), Amplitude de Movimento Articular (ADM) e dor nas costas de escolares. Foram avaliados 430 escolares do ensino fundamental da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Porto Alegre – RS, com idade entre 6 e 18 anos. Foi realizada avaliação da postura ortostática, da postura dinâmica (sentar para escrever e transportar o material escolar), teste de Adams, mensurações do ângulo Q, mensurações das ADMs do quadril, joelho e tornozelo, teste de Schober total e lombar, teste de extensão da coluna total e lombar e avaliação da dor. Os resultados mostraram uma tendência dos escolares posicionarem-se anteriormente ao fio de prumo, independente da faixa etária em que se encontravam. A angulação média observada nas curvaturas da coluna foi 28,67º para lordose cervical, 26,47º para cifose dorsal e 24,42º para lordose lombar. A avaliação do alinhamento horizontal de pontos anatômicos mostrou que estavam alinhados 10,1% dos acrômios, 19,4% das espinhas ilíacas ântero superiores (E.I.A.S.), 20,8% dos ângulos inferiores das escápulas e 42,9% das espinhas ilíacas póstero superiores (E.I.P.S.). O valor médio obtido para ângulo Q do joelho direito foi de 16,20º; e para o joelho esquerdo, 16,60º. O teste de Adams foi positivo em 21,4% com predominância de saliência paraespinhal lombar esquerda seguida de gibosidade dorso-lombar esquerda. Na avaliação da postura sentada para escrever, na qual os avaliados poderiam atingir de 0 a 4 pontos, o maior percentual de escolares obteve um ponto no momento 1 e zero nos momentos 2, 3 e 4 da filmagem. A avaliação sobre transportar material escolar mostrou que 69,2% dos escolares usam mochila e seu peso ultrapassa 10% do peso corporal somente em 9% dos casos. Comparando as médias das ADMs apresentadas pelos avaliados com as divulgadas pela literatura, observou-se que as amplitudes de rotação interna e externa da coxo-femural e flexão plantar do tornozelo do grupo avaliado foram menores. Os escolares apresentaram o valor médio de 8,01 cm para teste de Schober total, o que estava abaixo do considerado adequado pela literatura. Dor foi referida por 29% dos escolares. A região lombar foi a mais mencionada e a intensidade predominou entre média e fraca. Não foi verificada associação entre dor e peso da mochila. Ocorreu diferença significativa entre os que sentiam e não sentiam dor no terceiro momento da análise da filmagem da posição sentada. A amplitude do movimento de flexão da articulação coxo-femural com joelho direito flexionado apresentou diferença significativa entre os que sentiam e não sentiam dor, sendo maior nos que sentiam dor. Os resultados deste estudo fornecem informações a respeito da postura corporal dos escolares do ensino fundamental das escolas municipais de Porto Alegre. Não foi feita uma investigação com o intuito de verificar o que estava certo ou errado, mas de conhecer melhor os escolares e auxiliar na criação de projetos de educação postural adequados à realidade desta população.
Painful simphtoms, from overload and body structural alteration are present in the adult and infant-juvenile population. The objective of this study was to describe and to associate orthostatic posture, execution of daily activities (DA), range of motion (ROM) and students back pain. It was evaluated 430 Fundamental School students of Municipal Schools from Porto Alegre-RS, aged between 6 and 8 years old. The orthostatic posture was evaluated, dynamic posture (sitting to write and to carry the school material), Adam’s forward-bending test, Q-angle measurement, measurement of the hip, knee and ankle ROMs, total and lumbar Schober test, extension test of the total and lumbar spine and pain evaluation. The results showed a tendency of the students to position themselves forward to the reference line, regardless of their age. The mean angulation observed on the spine curvature was 28,67º for the cervical lordosis, 26,47º for the thoracic kyphosis and 24,42º for the lumbar lordosis. The evaluation of the horizontal alignment of the anatomic points showed that were aligned 10,1% of the acromions, 19,4% of the anterior superior iliac spines(E.I.A.S), 20,8% of the inferior angle of the scapula and 42,9% of the superior anterior iliac spines(E.I.P.S). The mean value obtained for the right knee Q- angle was 16,20º and for the left knee it was 16,60%. The Adams forward-bending test was positive in 21,4% with predominance of the left lumbar flank prominence followed by left dorso-lumbar thoracic rotational prominence. On the evaluation of posture while students were writing, where the evaluated could reach from 0 to 4 points, the biggest percentage of the students got one point on the moment 1 and zero on the moments 2, 3 and 4 of the filming. The evaluation of carrying school material showed that 69,2% of the students wear backpack and its weight goes over 10% of the body weight only in 9% of the cases. Comparing the ROMs means presented by the evaluated with the ones publicized through the literature, it was observed that the range of the hip external and internal rotation and the ankle plantar flexion from the evaluated group were smaller. The students presented the mean value of 8,01 cm for the total Schober test which was lower of the considered appropriate by the literature. The back pain was referred by 29% of the students. The lumbar region was the most mentioned and the intensity predominated between medium and low. It was not verified the relation between back pain and weight of the backpack. There were a significant difference between the ones that felt pain and the ones that did not feel pain on the third moment of the filming when they were in the sitting position. The range of the right hip flexion with the knee flexed presented significant difference between the ones that felt pain and the ones that did not feel pain, being stronger on the ones that felt pain. The results of this study give information about the body posture of the students from the municipal schools in Porto Alegre. It was not made any investigation in order to verify what was right or wrong, but just to know the students better and help them with educational postural projects, appropriated to this population reality.

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em Fisioterapia
Introdução: a articulação temporomandibular (ATM) e a coluna cervical atuam em harmonia. Uma disfunção na cervical pode provocar sintomatologia álgica na ATM e vice-versa. Objetivo: analisar a prevalência e as caraterísticas da dor cervical inespecífica e da disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) em jovens estudantes de ambos os sexos, e de diferentes anos do curso de Fisioterapia. Metodologia: a amostra foi constituída por 41 estudantes do 3º e 4º ano do curso de Fisioterapia da Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP), de ambos os sexos, 20 do sexo feminino e 21 do sexo masculino, com uma média de idade de 22,12±2,15 anos, variando de 19 a 27. Foram aplicados 2 questionários, o Índice de Incapacidade Cervical (Neck Disability Index - NDI) para a cervical e o questionário amnésico de Fonseca para a ATM. Resultados: a prevalência da dor cervical inespecífica é superior no sexo feminino (90%, vs. 47,6%), e nos alunos do 4º ano (85,0% vs. 52,4%). A prevalência de dor na ATM é mais elevada no sexo feminino (55% vs. 14,3%), e os alunos do 4º ano também seguem essa tendência (45,0% vs. 23,8%). Conclusão: Ser do sexo feminino aumenta significativamente a probabilidade de ter dor cervical e dor na ATM, e frequentar o 4º ano é um fator de risco no aparecimento de dor cervical. Existe uma forte correlação significativa entre a incapacidade cervical e nível/categoria de DTM.
Introduction: the tempomandibular joint and the cervical spine work together in harmony. A cervical dysfunction may cause symptoms of TMJ pain and the opposite can also happen. Objective: analyze the prevalence and characteristics of nonspecific cervical pain and temporomandibular dysfunction in young students of both sexes, and of different years of the physiotherapy course. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 41 students from the 3rd and 4th year of the physiotherapy course at the Fernando Pessoa University (UFP), of both sexes, 20 females and 21 males, with an average age of 22,12±2,15 years, varying from 19 to 27. Two questionnaires were applied, the neck disability index-NDI for cervical and the amnestic questionnaire of Fonseca for TMJ. Results: The prevalence of nonspecific cervical pain is higher among females (90%, vs. 47.6%), and in 4th year students (85.0% vs. 52.4%). The prevalence of pain in TMJ is higher among females (55% vs. 14.3%), and the 4th year students also follow this trend (45.0% vs. 23.8%). Conclusion: Being female significantly increases the probability of having cervical pain and pain in TMJ, and attending the 4th year is a risk factor in the onset of cervical pain. There is a strong significant correlation between cervical disability and TMD level/category.

Nugaros skausmais skundžiasi 75% pasaulio gyventojų. Ši problema tampa vis aktualesnė išsivysčiusiose šalyse, kuriose vyrauja sėdimas darbas. Sveikatos apsaugos ministerijos atliktais tyrimais, matome, kad vis daugiau jaunų žmonių skundžiasi jungiamojo audinio ir skeleto-raumenų sistemos ligomis, tačiau nėra aiškios patiriamo nugaros skausmo priežastys, nes jų yra labai daug: jos gali būti skirstomos į šešias grupes (stuburo patologija, pilvo organų ir onkologinės ligos, infekcijos, raumenų patempimai ir psichologinės priežastys) ir rizikos veiksnius, skatinančius stiprėti nugaros skausmus (viršsvoris, bloga laikysena, sėdimas ar sunkus fizinis darbas, stuburo traumos ir iškrypimai). Šio bakalauro darbo tyrimo objektas – studentų nugaros skausmo priežastys. Tyrimo tikslas – išsiaiškinti studentų nugaros skausmų priežastis. Buvo kelti šie uždaviniai: atskleisti nugaros skausmų teorinius aspektus; nustatyti studentų nugaros skausmo paplitimo tendencijas; išsiaiškinti dažniausias studentų patiriamo nugaros skausmo priežastis. Tyrimo metu naudoti metodai, kurių pagalba gauta ir apdorota informacija: mokslinės literatūros analizė; anketinė apklausa; matematinė – statistinė tyrimo duomenų analizė. Tyrimo dalyviai - Šiaulių Universiteto 1 – 4 kurso studentai. Tyrimo imtis – 100 respondentų. Anketine apklausa buvo siekiama išsiaiškinti studentų nugaros skausmų priežastis ir paplitimą.

About 75% of the world population suffer of the back pain. This problem becomes more acute in developed countries with predominantly sedentary work. We see from the studies of the Ministry of Health that more and more young people complain of connective tissue and skeletal-muscle disorder, but there is no clear cause of back pain experienced because they are very much: they can be divided into six groups (spinal pathology, abdominal and oncological diseases, infections, muscle tearing apart and psychological reasons) and the risk factors that contribute to strengthen the back pain (overweight, poor posture, sedentary or heavy physical work, spinal trauma and deformity). The subject of this study - students back pain causes. The aim of the research is to identify causes of the students back pain. The next tasks have been realized in the work: to reveal the theoretical aspects of back pain; to ascertain the spread tendencies of the students back pain back pain; to ascertain the most common causes of the students back pain. The methods of the research have been used: theoretical (analysis of the academic literature), empirical (the quantitative analysis), statistical. The participants of the study – students of the 1-4 year of the Siauliai University. 100 respondents were involved in the research. The survey showed that students felt the back pain at various intervals ranging from several times during his life standing up to the pain. The intensity varies from mild to... [to full text]

Objetivo: Avaliar o uso de dispositivos eletrônicos e televisão (TV) em adolescentes saudáveis de uma escola particular da cidade de São Paulo; avaliar possíveis associações entre a presença de dor e síndromes musculoesqueléticas e o uso de dispositivos eletrônicos e TV. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com adolescentes de uma escola particular da cidade de São Paulo. 299 adolescentes (10 a 19 anos) responderam a um questionário individual, confidencial e autoaplicável, com perguntas sobre o uso isolado e simultâneo de dispositivos eletrônicos (computadores, videogames, celular) e TV; dados demográficos; prática de atividade física e esportiva; disponibilidade, padrão de consumo, tipos de mídia utilizados e sintomas dolorosos do sistema musculoesquelético. Além da aplicação do questionário, foi realizado exame físico específico do aparelho musculoesquelético nos adolescentes que apresentavam queixas álgicas nos últimos três meses, visando à avaliação das seguintes síndromes musculoesqueléticas idiopáticas crônicas e não inflamatórias: fibromialgia juvenil, síndrome de hipermobilidade articular benigna, síndrome miofascial, tendinite, bursite, epicondilite e síndrome de dor regional complexa. Resultados: O índice de Kappa entre o pré-teste e reteste foi de 0,83. Dor musculoesquelética e síndromes musculoesqueléticas foram encontradas em 183/299 (61%) e 60/183 (33%), respectivamente. As medianas de idade [15 (10-18) versus 14 (10-18) anos, p=0,032] e os anos de escolaridade [10 (5-12) vs. 9 (5-12) anos, p=0,010] foram significantemente maiores em adolescentes com dor musculoesquelética em comparação com aqueles sem essa condição. A frequência do gênero feminino foi maior no grupo de adolescentes com dor musculoesquelética comparado ao grupo sem essa condição (59% versus 47% p=0,019), assim como as frequências do uso do telefone celular (93% contra 81%, p=0,003) e do uso simultâneo de pelo menos dois dispositivos eletrônicos (80% vs. 67%, p=0,011) foram significantemente maiores no grupo de adolescentes com dor musculoesquelética. Em relação às comparações entre os grupos com e sem síndromes musculoesqueléticas: a frequência de gênero feminino foi significantemente maior no grupo de estudantes com síndromes musculoesqueléticas (75% versus 25%, p=0,002), e os adolescentes com síndromes musculoesqueléticas apresentaram uma mediana significantemente reduzida de horas de jogos eletrônicos aos finais de semana e feriados [1,5 (0-10) vs. 3 (0-17) horas/dia, p=0,006]. Conclusões: Uma alta prevalência de dor musculoesquelética e síndromes musculoesqueléticas foi observada em estudantes adolescentes de uma escola particular. A dor musculoesquelética foi relatada em idade mais avançada, sobretudo entre as meninas e os alunos que usavam telefone celular e dispositivos eletrônicos simultaneamente. O sexo feminino e o uso reduzido de jogos eletrônicos foram associados à presença de síndromes musculoesqueléticas
Objective: To evaluate television and simultaneous electronic devices use in adolescents with musculoskeletal pain and musculoskeletal pain syndromes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 299 adolescents of a private school. All students completed a self-administered questionnaire, including: demographic data, physical activities, musculoskeletal pain symptoms, and use of simultaneous television/electronic devices (computer, internet, electronic games and cell phone). Seven musculoskeletal pain syndromes were also evaluated: juvenile fibromyalgia, benign joint hypermobility syndrome, myofascial syndrome, tendinitis, bursitis, epicondylitis and complex regional pain syndrome. Results: Inter-rater agreement between pretest and retest was 0.83. Musculoskeletal pain and musculoskeletal pain syndrome were found in 183/299 (61%) and 60/183 (33%), respectively. The median of age [15 (10-18) vs. 14 (10-18) years, p=0.032] and years of education [10 (5-12) vs. 9 (5-12) years, p=0.010] were significantly higher in adolescents with musculoskeletal pain compared to those without this condition. The frequencies of female gender (59% vs. 47%, p=0.019), cell phone use (93% vs. 81%,p=0.003) and simultaneous use of at least two electronic devices (80% vs. 67%,p=0.011) were significantly higher in the former group. Further comparisons between adolescents with and without musculoskeletal pain syndromes revealed that the frequency of female gender was significantly higher in the former group (75% vs. 25%,p=0.002), and with significantly reduced median of weekends/holidays electronic games use [1.5 (0-10) vs. 3 (0-17) hours/day, p=0.006]. Conclusions: A high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain/syndromes were observed in female adolescents. Musculoskeletal pain was mostly reported at median age of 15 years and students were using cell phone and at least two electronic devices simultaneously. Reduced electronic games use was associated with musculoskeletal pain syndromes

Resumo:

Introducción: Se define al dolor lumbar como un dolor en la zona de la espalda baja, entre el borde inferior de la última costilla y los pliegues glúteos. Puede presentarse en un 20 % de la población de manera intensa. La prevalencia de dolor lumbar crónico en los universitarios oscila entre 12.4 % - 75 %. Se encontró que la alteración de la musculatura del recto abdominal se encuentra relacionado con las personas que presentan dolor lumbar, a diferencia de otros músculos del Coré. Objetivo: Determinar si existe asociación entre la distancia entre los bordes mediales del músculo recto abdominal y la presencia de dolor lumbar en estudiantes de una universidad privada de la ciudad de Lima. Método: Estudio de casos y controles, realizado en estudiantes de una universidad privada de la ciudad de Lima. Nuestras variables fueron, el dolor lumbar y la distancia entre los rectos abdominales Los instrumentos fueron, ficha de datos, escala numérica de dolor (ENA), índice cintura cadera, cuestionario nórdico, escala de Oswestry y caliper digital calibrado. Resultados: Se observo que la media y desviación estándar de la distancia de los rectos abdominales (IRD) fue (21.9 ± 3.5). El dolor lumbar tuvo asociación con la variable IRD (p = 0.001); IRD cuartiles (p= 0.015) y IRD dicotomizada (p=0.004). Incluso, la variable diástasis abdominal se encontró asociada con el dolor lumbar (p=0.006). Conclusiones: Se encontró una asociación entre el (IRD) y el dolor lumbar en los estudiantes universitarios. Además, se evidencio asociación entre diástasis y el dolor lumbar.
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is defined as the pain located in the low back between the lower edge of the last rib and the gluteal folds. It can be found in 20 % of the population as intense pain. The prevalence of chronic low back pain in university students oscillates between 12.4 %-75 %. Unlike other Core muscles, the alteration of the rectus abdominis muscles is related to low back pain. Objective: To determine the association between the abdominal rectus medial edges distance and the presence of low back pain in students of a private university in Lima. Material and methods: Case-control study in students of a private university in Lima. The variables were low back pain and the inter-rectus distance. The research instruments were data collection sheet, numeric pain scale, waist-hip ratio, Nordic questionnaire, Oswestry disability index and calibrated digital caliper. Results: The mean and the standard deviation of the inter-rectus distance was 21.9 (±3.5). The variable low back pain had association with the variables inter-rectus distance (p=0.001), inter-rectus distance quartiles (p=0.015) and dichotomized inter-rectus distance (p=0.004). Additionally, the variable diastasis recti abdominis muscle was associated with low back pain (p=0.006). Conclusions: There is association between inter-rectus distance and low back pain in university students. Furthermore, an association between diastasis recti abdominis muscle and low back pain was evidenced.

Resumo:

Poor pain assessment contributes to inadequate postoperative pain relief. Studies in the US suggest that nurse education might make students less sensitive to patients' experience of pain. This research set out to examine this process in the United Kingdom and to explore the experience of the students during their common foundation programme (CFP). 217 students completed the Standard Measure of Inferences of Suffering Questionnaire (SMIS) before and after their CFP. Their inferences of psychological distress increased as studies in the US had found but unlike these studies no change was found in their inferences of pain. Inferences of pain and psychological distress were affected by the age of the cases, while gender affected only the latter. None of the characteristics of the students were related to their inferences Of 51 qualified nurses who completed the SMIS, 5 with high inferences and 5 with low inferences, rated patients for whom they were caring. Over half of their ratings were different from those of the patients' and there was no relationship between their SMIS scores and the tendency to over or under estimate patients' pain casting doubt on the validity of the SMIS. Interviews with 15 students following their CFP showed that they experienced a wide range of strong emotions when caring for patients in pain. Their relatively junior status in the wards seemed to place them in difficult positions and provided them with little support. Theories of desensitisation, cognitive dissonance and acculturation have been proposed to explain decreasing sensitivity to pain. The lack of a significant change in students' inferences of pain and the analysis of their interviews suggest that their experiences are more varied than these theories suggest. These findings have important implications for both nurse education and the mechanisms to support student nurses in clinical practice.

The aim of the study is to examine factors influencing students’ feelings of pleasure or pain associated with school mathematics. Own experience of students’ frustration about mathematics and concern about students not reaching desired goals is the driving force in this study. It contributes with knowledge from the students' perspective. Hopefully the result can help others, teachers and parents, to strengthen pupils’ desire and ability to learn. Students’ emotions about mathematics are important for learning and mathematics can cause joy as well as anxiety. The students who are positive often need stimulation and challenge, but are usually not a problem for the adults. The negative emotions, especially fear, is something that adults should take into account and try to develop for the better. Anxiety can be described as "a lack of well-being". It can cause panic, paralysis and mental disorganization when students are required to solve math tasks. Math anxiety can also be defined as a combination of stress before the test, low self-esteem, fear of failure and negative attitudes towards learning mathematics. Symptoms can include avoidance of formal mathematics instruction, poor test results and that instructions will not have the expected effect. There is a phenomenological approach of the study. Phenomenology studies how the consciousness creates meaning. The focal point is trying to learn about the students’ experience of their 'Being-in-the-World'. How do students view school mathematics, and why? What can create desire for learning mathematics? What can create uneasiness in learning mathematics? In order to get a better view of this complex area four different data sources are used. Eight pupils are interviewed individually. 19 students participated in focus group interviews. 134 students, ages 11-13, answered questions in a web survey. One class observation was also made. The result was formed into three important factors, Student’s own view of capacity and attitude to mathematics, Importance of relations to others (teachers, class mates, parents) and Content and working forms. Three different themes came into focus – Understanding, Working atmosphere and Safety. The four main areas of importance, as seen in this study, are Interaction student-teacher, Understanding and feeling of success, Good atmosphere in the classroom and Awareness about the use of mathematics. The results show areas of importance for pupils who are feeling math anxiety. They are less aware of how mathematics can be of use for them also outside school and the importance of mathematics in their future lives. They need a much stronger support from adults, teachers and parents, in their math studies, than pupils without anxiety. The classroom environment can also cause problems, if students do not feel safe or feel stressed or disturbed by other pupils or teachers. There are also a few differences between the girls’ and the boys’ experiences, where girls seem to reflect more about their uneasiness when it comes to mathematics, sometimes caused by the boys. What can teachers learn from this study? In short: motivate, teach and let the pupils talk.

Between January and December 2014, 68% of full-time hospitality management students at a southeastern university in the United States worked for pay more than 15 hours each week. Fifty percent of these students had a GPA of 2.5 or below, reflecting poor academic performance as benchmarked by the institution. The purpose of this study was to achieve an understanding of how full-time undergraduate hospitality students perceived the role of paid employment in their academic performance. The study was grounded by Astin's student involvement theory that requires an investment of psychosocial and physical energy by students for a successful college experience. Using a qualitative case study design, semi-structured interviews with 12 student participants were conducted. After pattern coding and thematic analysis, the data revealed that students perceived that they had to work for pay but did not manage their employment, college studies, and other demands on their time effectively. The findings indicated the need to integrate employment into the students' academic plan of study for academic credit. These results led to the development of a 3-day professional development project designed to help students manage full-time college and employment. The project also provided strategies for faculty members to integrate hospitality work participation into the students' academic experiences for credit. This study has implications for positive social change because an effective balance of college and employment combined with the integration of work and academic experiences may improve students' overall academic performance, leading to increased graduation rates and improved post-graduation employment opportunities for hospitality management students.

Purpose – to determine students back pain correlation with physical development. In order to reach purpose of the reserach following tasks were set: 1. To determine indicators of students’ physical development and correlations among them; 2. To find out and assess static endurance of subjects’ trunk (back, abdominal, left and right sides) muscles; 3. To find out incidence of back pain in students and physical activity through questionnaire survey. Object of research – students back pain. 132 physical therapy students (109 females and 32 males) participated in the study. First year students − 39 females, 5 males; second year − 28 females, 5 males; third year − 27 females, 4 males; fourth year − 15 females, 9 males. When planning a research the following problematic question was formulated: does the fact that subjects are studying at Lithuanian Academy of Physical education and study in faculty of sports biomedicine where they get medical knowledge allows for ensuring them good health condition? In case of our research anthropometric data, physical activity and fitness of trunk muscles were treated as indicators of health condition. It was hypothesized that because of the specificity of studies students should be physically active what may have a positive effect on data of their physical development and trunk muscles’ fitness and at the same time on the condition of their back. The following conclusions were reached after analysis of research findings: 1. Indicators of... [to full text]

This thesis examines the motivations for English language acquisition among Latino immigrants currently residing in the United States. By interviewing 34 adult students enrolled in ESOL classes in the Boston area, the author attempts to determine whether their desire for language acquisition is motivated by integrative or instrumental factors. These results are analyzed in light of the current debate on the assimilation of Latino immigrants, ultimately concluding that this segment of the population is indeed desirous of integration into the mainstream U.S. society

Twenty-four facial pain patients and their spouses were videotaped answering questions concerning their relationships. This study was designed to more objectively support the clinical impressions of the MCV/VCU TMJ and Facial Pain Research Center's treatment team's view of the interactional characteristics of these couples. Prior to the team offering brief couples psychotherapy for assistance in the resolution of the pain problem, the team needed to assess the pain couples' relationship variables. Adherence to health care providers' recommendations is typically minimal unless all participants agree that specific treatment is warranted. There appears to be a lack of understanding among patients, their families, and health care providers as to the contributing factors in the maintenance and continuation of pain. This study describes the spousal unit in an effort to individualize care and treatment for temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients and their families.;The pain couples' were rated by two trained family therapists on the dimensions of Cohesion, Adaptability, Communication, and Marital Satisfaction (measured by the Clinical Rating Scale and a clinical rating (CR) of Marital Satisfaction) and compared to the self-report (SR) ratings of the pain patients and their spouses (measured by the FACES-III). The couples were placed by group (Balanced, Mid-Range, or Extreme) on the Circumplex Model, and the pain patients were examined as to their reported difference in perceived pain (sensory and affective pain measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)).;The results of the study indicate that pain patients and their spouses were highly correlated with each other on the FACES-III and were Congruent. They scored within the normative range on Cohesion and were 1.5 S.D.'s above the normative mean for adults on Adaptability. Five couples were Balanced, twelve Mid-Range, and seven Extreme as for family group on the Circumplex Model; and significant relationships were found (a) between CRS/CR and SR and (b) between groups in perceived pain.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicopatologia e Psicologia Clínica
O presente trabalho teve como finalidade primordial investigar e comparar os valores veiculados pelos estudantes finalistas da Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro e pelos seus progenitores. Estabelecemos no entanto, outras comparações ao nível do sexo, da naturalidade e do local da Universidade (Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro versus outras Universidades do país). A amostra de Jovens Universitários seleccionada (180 estudantes, 86 raparigas e 94 rapazes) mostrou-se representativa da população finalista da Universidade Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro. E a amostra de 221 Progenitores (119 mães e 102 pais) adveio da amostra dos Jovens Universitários.

The University of ManchesterSandra TaylorDoctor of PhilosophyThe Reciprocal Influence Of Person Centred Counselling Students And Trainers2013This research has explored the reciprocal influence of counselling students and trainers in the UK, through the researcher’s lens of being a Person Centred trainer. The methodology evolved into relational heuristic research, an adaptation of heuristic research which is itself a contribution to knowledge. It is a qualitative approach that holds the researcher/trainer’s heuristic experience as its core whilst including and valuing the experience of others. Six pairs of former counselling students and trainers were interviewed together, followed by eight interviews between the researcher and her former students. The interviews provided the opportunity for the co-creation of a coherent story of their reciprocal influence and enabled clarification, corroboration, disagreement, memory jogging, and the emergence of surprises. Participants in the six interviews were gained through the researcher’s professional networks and so were convenience sampling. The eight former students were from the 22 invited whom the researcher had worked with two years previously. As is typical of heuristic research the analysis was a long, iterative and creative process of incubation and illumination.The main finding, available only because of the former students and trainers being interviewed together, is the uniqueness, complexity and richness of counselling student-trainer relationships. The three other substantial findings are: the huge impact of the transferential/countertransferential relationship between students and trainers; the nuances of liking and favouritism between students and trainers; and an invaluable insight into challenges and difficulties within the student-trainer relationship and their impact.In addition to the findings and discussion the researcher also offers a creative synthesis and a summary of learning, not to be turned into general principles and procedures but for each reader to resonate with their own experiences and see what does and doesn’t fit. This is in keeping with the complexity and uniqueness of experience found in the research. Specific contributions of this research for past, present and future counselling students and trainers as well as for course development are also discussed.

Resumo:

Volunteerism is positively associated with various benefits to university students. Perhaps for this reason, some educational institutions are paying students to participate in volunteerism. Conversely, the cognitive evaluation theory suggests that monetary rewards may undermine intrinsic motivation and decrease the likelihood of future participation in volunteerism. However, there has been little empirical research done regarding this issue. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of monetary rewards on university students' intrinsic motivation to participate in a volunteerism activity. While the findings indicated a subtle trend supporting the cognitive evaluation theory, an analysis of the data demonstrated no statistical significance, thus suggesting that further research is needed in order to understand the application of the cognitive evaluation theory to volunteerism.

Resumo:

The goal of this project is to investigate the development of ethnic identity among different Black ethnic groups in the United States. The three different Black ethnic groups that will be investigated are: 1) African immigrants, 2) African-Americans, and 3) Diasporic African immigrants (Caribbean, Afro-Brazilian, etc.). These groups were selected because they broadly encompass the bulk of the range of people of African ancestry in the United States amalgamated under the term “Black.” Through thematic analysis of in-depth interviews, this project explores the impacts of immigration status, discrimination and inter-group relations (between different Black ethnic groups) on the ways that members of different Black ethnic groups form their ethnic identities. This analysis reveals that place, ethnic pride, and inter-and intra-racial relationships all affect the ethnic identity development process differently across Black ethnic groups.

The present work aims to develop na understanding about the subjective dimension of the ecational process in a full time school, in other words, to meet the subjective aspects made by those individuals Who live this experience. For this, researches were made in the statemens of parents and students of and students, elements that make up the meanings (senses) on Full-Time school. This research was based on restlessness of observing the inequality educational context ok our country and bringing support to the proposal of Full-Time Education and the program Mais Educação . The theorist used in this research was the sócio-historic psychology, which has as its starting point the Idea tha all human phenomena are produced in the historical processo of social life formation, thus converging with the prospect of Full-Time Education. The participants were three studens in the 8th year of na elementary full-time school in the city of Jo~so Pessoa in Paraíba, and two parents of students at the respective school. Specifically for this Project were developed semi-structured inerviews with both parents and students, held by the researcher. Data were generated from the analysis of the speeches, by the method of categorization.The results allowed us to understand that there is no clarity on how they view the changes in terms of what would be the quality of educacion in school. Their senses about full-time school are that more time in school protects and provides a better learning for students, when copared to other schools. However, the vision seems abstract thesesubjects with regard to the proposal for Full-Time Education
O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de desenvolver uma compreensão da dimensão subjetiva do processo de escolarização na escola de tempo integral, ou seja, conhecer aspectos subjetivos constituídos por estes sujeitos que vivenciam essa experiência. Para isto, buscamos nas falas dos pais e dos alunos, os elementos que compõem as significações (sentidos) sobre a escola de tempo integral. Esta pesquisa nasceu da inquietação da desigualdade observada no contexto educacional do nosso país trazendo como respaldo a proposta de Educação Integral e a investigação do programa Mais Educação . A pesquisa adotou como referencial teórico metodológico a abordagem Sócio-Histórica da Psicologia, que tem como ponto de partida a concepção de que todos os fenômenos humanos são produzidos no processo histórico de constituição da vida social, sendo assim convergente com a perspectiva de Educação Integral. Participaram da pesquisa três alunos do 8º ano de uma escola de ensino fundamental de tempo integral, na cidade de João Pessoa na Paraíba, e dois pais de alunos dessa respectiva escola. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, tanto com os pais quanto com os alunos, desenvolvidas pela pesquisadora especificamente para este projeto. Os dados foram produzidos a partir da análise das falas, por meio do método de categorização. Os resultados nos permitiram entender que não há uma clareza na forma como eles enxergam as mudanças ocorridas em termos do que seria a qualidade educacional na escola. Os sentidos deles sobre a escola de tempo integral é de que mais tempo na escola protege e proporciona um melhor aprendizado para os alunos, quando comparado a outras escolas. Porém, a visão desses sujeitos parece abstrata no que diz respeito à proposta de Educação Integral

Este estudo procurou identificar as atitudes e as perceções dos pais face à inclusão de crianças com necessidades educativas especiais (NEE) no ensino regular, bem como descrever as vantagens e as desvantagens que os pais identificaram na interação de pares com e sem NEE. Avaliaram-se igualmente, as perceções dos filhos (pares sem NEE) face à inclusão e tentou compreender-se a relação existente entre as atitudes e as perceções dos pais e filhos face à inclusão. Participaram no estudo cento e vinte e dois pais e doze alunos sem NEE, com idades compreendidas entre os oito e os nove anos de idade. Nesta investigação optouse por uma metodologia mista. Os dados foram obtidos através de um questionário dirigido aos pais/encarregados de educação, e de dois grupos focados nos quais participaram os alunos sem NEE. Os resultados indicaram que os pais com menos idade, do sexo feminino e possuidores de habilitações académicas de nível superior apresentaram atitudes mais positivas perante a inclusão. Em relação aos pais de filhos com NEE e aos pais de crianças que têm relações de amizade fora da escola com crianças com NEE, a maioria concordou com a inclusão e os seus benefícios, apresentando atitudes mais favoráveis, contrariamente aos pais de alunos sem NEE e aos pais cujos filhos não têm amigos com NEE. Os pais apontaram mais vantagens para os alunos sem NEE do que para os alunos com NEE. Conclui-se ainda que a maioria dos alunos sem NEE conotou a criança com deficiência como alguém que tem uma doença, que é diferente dos outros e com dificuldades em aprender. A maior parte dos participantes considerou que alunos com NEE devem frequentar a escola regular. Os resultados apontaram que as atitudes de pais e pares se encontram relacionadas com a compreensão e contacto com a deficiência, assim como sugerem a existência de alguma relação entre perceções e atitudes de pais e filhos.
The study identified the attitudes and perceptions of parents towards the inclusion of their children with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream education, also describing the advantages and disadvantages that parents identified in the interaction between peers with and without SEN. Likewise, the perceptions of the children without SEN towards inclusion were evaluated and the relation between attitudes and perceptions of parents and children towards inclusion was tried to understand. One hundred twenty two parents/guardians and twelve students without SEN, aged eight and nine years old, participated in the study. A mixed methodology was used in the study. The data was obtained from a questionnaire addressed to parents/ guardians, and from two focus groups where the students without SEN participated. Results indicated that young, female and high educational attainment parents showed more positive attitudes towards inclusion. The majority of parents with children with SEN and parents with children who out of school friendship relations with children with SEN, agreed with the inclusion and its benefits, thus having more inclusive attitudes, contrary to the parents of students without SEN and whose children do not have friends with SEN. Parents pointed more advantages for students without SEN than for children with SEN. Concluded that the majority of children without SEN perceived children with SEN as someone who has a disease, which is different from the others and has learning difficulties. Most of the participants thought that students with SEN should attend regular school. Results of this study also indicated that the attitudes of parents and peers are related to the knowledge and contact with disabilities, also suggesting the existence of a relation between attitudes and perceptions of parents and children towards inclusion.
