Повний текст джерелаINTRODUCTION: Significant correlations between asthma and anxiety and between anxiety and balance disorders have been consistently described. These observations suggest that equilibrium abnormalities can also be present in asthmatic patients. This issue is clinically important because untreated postural deficits can potentially worse the prognosis of asthma by triggering anxiety and, consequently, respiratory symptoms. This exploratory study aims to evaluate the efficiency of postural control in asthma patients and its possible correlation with anxiety symptoms. METHODS: 41 subjects with persistent controlled asthma and 41 controls, matched for age and sex, were compared. Anxiety symptoms were evaluated by the Spielbergers Inventory of State-Trait Anxiety (STAI). The balance control was assessed by dynamic posturography, which assesses the displacement of center of pressure (CoP) of the body on a platform of pressure, generating scores of balance and their kinetic variables such as area and speed of displacement of the CoP in lateral and anteroposterior directions. RESULTS: The asthma group had significantly higher scores in STAIState (46.8 ± 11,38 versus 38.2 ± 13,16; t = 2,89; p=0,005) and in STAI-Trait (50.1 ± 13,60 versus 37.9 ± 12,67; t = 4,22; p<0,001). In dynamic posturography, the Student t test showed worst performance of asthmatics in balance scores and in the area of the CoP displacement, but the Pearson correlation test showed no association between higher anxiety scores with lower balance scores (r <0.3 in all conditions evaluated). CONCLUSION: Balance abnormalities seems frequent in asthma patients independently from the presence of anxiety symptoms. However, the presence of vestibular dysfunction, working via anxiety provocation, may have a major impact in the prognosis of these patients. These findings suggest that disequilibrium related complaints must be investigated in asthmatic patients mainly in those presenting higher levels of anxiety

Повний текст джерелаBackground: Complicated grief is characterized by persistent yearning for the deceased, intense sorrow and emotional pain in response to death causing significant distress. Complicated grief is often underrecognized and under treated. The Texas Revised Inventory of Grief (TRIG) is a questionnaire that has been demonstrated to have high validity and reliability in the assessment of complicated grief. Our objective was to translate, adapt, and validate the TRIG to Brazilian Portuguese and to verify whether the TRIG, in a bereaved population, is able to distinguish between those with and those without complicated grief and to identify which elements in the scale contribute to this. Methods: Two stages: a) cross-culture adaptation of a questionnaire, and b) crosssectional study of reliability and validity. Setting and Participants: 165 adult patients were recruited from a) the Grief Outpatient Clinic at the Department and Institute of Psychiatry - University of São Paulo, b) private practice at the same department, and c) co-workers who have lost a loved one. All the patients were interviewed with the TRIG. According to clinical criteria 69 of 165 bereaved patients were presenting complicated grief. Results: Cross-culture adaptation: the TRIG was translated from American English, then back-translated and finally compared with the Brazilian Portuguese version by two bilingual psychiatrists. Reliability: the Cronbach\'s alpha coefficients (internal consistency) of the TRIG scales were 0,735 (part I) and 0,896 (part II). Sensitivity, specificity as well as cutoff points to identify complicated and non-complicated grief, were measured using the ROC curve Using the total score of 104 (part I + part II + Part III + psychographics variables), we can correctly classify 71.3% of individuals with and without complicated grief. The construct validity was assessed by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory analysis. Furthermore, by logistic regression, our study demonstrated that a low education level, age of the deceased and age of the bereaved, loss of a son or daughter, and unexpected death were all risk factors for complicated grief. Our results also suggest that religion may influence complicated grief. Conclusions: The TRIG adapted to Brazilian Portuguese is as reliable and valid as the original version. In the evaluation of Brazilian bereaved, it was able to distinguish individuals with and without complicated grief. And, we suggest a cut-off value of 104 for complicated grief

Повний текст джерелаOver the last years, more women are having gambling problems, similar to what has happened in alcohol and drug addiction. This phenomenon, according to previous studies, can be related to different variables: the growth of new gambling venues with increased access for women, such as electronic bingo venues, the fact that women gamble to escape from problems and to minimize depression, and a faster progression (telescoping effect- T.E.) of social gambling to pathological gambling (PG) in women. Even though the T.E. has been identified in different studies, little has been done to investigate its causes. As an effort to clarify this matter, this thesis investigates possible gender differences that might explain T.E. and that might be important for prevention and treatment strategies of PG. We compare 78 male and 78 female gamblers regarding: sociodemographic characteristics, clinical features, psychiatric comorbidities, personality and game preferences; and risk-taking behaviors. Pathological gamblers were assessed for diagnosis through the SOGS (South Oaks Gambling Screen) and the DSM-IV criteria for PG; the SCAN (Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry) was used to investigate psychiatric comorbidity; and the TCI (Temperament and Character Inventory), and the BIS (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale version 11) were used to investigate personality features. More females are single; females start gambling and have gambling problems later in life than males. More females prefer electronic games and gamble to escape from problems. Males have more diagnosis of alcohol abuse/dependence, while females have more diagnosis of depression. Besides gender, starting to gamble later in life and preference for electronic games both features associated to female gamblers, are responsible for T.E. in PG. The clinical differences observed between genders lead to the conclusion that this variable should be considered in prevention and treatment strategies for PG. It must be remembered that female gamblers, who effectively have a faster progression to PG - which reduces the window for prevention - , are the ones who resist to seek professional treatment for PG or Gamblers Anonymous (G.A.) groups.

Повний текст джерелаBackground: According to the World Health Organization\'s projections for the 21st. century, non-communicable diseases (NCD) will account for the largest burden of diseases in the world. Cardiovascular diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders stand out as the two main groups of health problems among the NCD. Overweight and obesity are considered precursors and aggravating factors of cardiovascular disease, whose prevalence has grown around the world, claiming for public efforts to stop its growth and minimize its harmful effects. Mental disorders, in turn, account for nearly one-third of the burden of disability resulting from all NCD. The aim of the present investigation is to estimate the frequency of mental disorders in a sample of obese individuals who sought a university hospital in order to undergo bariatric surgery to control or reduce the excess of body weight. Objective: To estimate, through a standardized interview, the frequency of mental disorders and correlated factors among obese patients seeking bariatric surgery. Methods: The sample was composed of 393 treatment-seeking obese patients (79.1% women; mean age 43.0 years, mean BMI: 47.8 kg/m2), who were recruited from a university-based bariatric center. Trained clinicians assessed the participants through the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Diagnosis (SCID-I/P). HCL (Manic Symptoms Cheklist), MDQ (Mood Disorders Questionnarie), MADRS (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale), M-A QoLII (Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of Life Questionnaire II). Results: The lifetime rate of any mental disorders was 80.9% (81.7% men vs. 80.7% women). Lifetime affective disorders were the most frequent diagnosis (total 64.9%, bipolar disorders 35.6%, and depressive disorders 29.3%). Among those respondents presenting any lifetime mental disorders, about half of the sample presented 3 or more concurrent disorders. The rate of current frequency of any mental disorders was 57.8% (57.6% men vs. 58.5% women). Anxiety disorders were the most frequent diagnosis (46.3%) among those participants with a current disorder. Age and educational level were associated with the likelihood of presenting current mental disorders. The scales showed good internal consistency: the HCL - 32, Cronbach\'s alpha 0.9; MDQ 0.8, MADRS 0.9 and M-A QoL II 0.7. The HCL -32 and MDQ demonstrated good capacity discriminant to correctly classify cases of bipolar disorder. HCL -32 the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.7 (95 % CI 0.7-0.80, when compared to the diagnosis of SCID-I/P, with a sensitivity of 0.7 and specificity 0.7 . The best cutoff point was 16/17 to detect bipolar disorder II. In the factorial structure of the HCL -32, data variability was best explained by two important factors: elation of mood and irritation / activation. MDQ sensitivity was 0.80 and specificity 0.60. The best cutoff value of 4/ 5 for detecting bipolar disorder I, with AUC of 0.8 (95 % CI 0.7 to 0.9).The MADRS of 5 items had a sensitivity of 0.8 and specificity 0.9. The best cutoff point was 10/11 to detect depressive symptoms and AUC of 0.9. According to the MA QoL II, about 50% of the sample reported being satisfied with their quality of life. There is a significant correlation among the scales used, ranging from 0.6 to -0.6. Conclusions: Mental disorders are frequent conditions among obese patients before bariatric surgery. High rates of mental disorders suggest that both disorders might exert mutual causal relationships or share common etiological factors. This study may help to understand the relationship between mental disorders and obesity. Systematic evaluation of obese patients with standardized psychometric instruments in the pre-surgery period may clarify the existence of psychiatric disorders before the bariatric surgery. Often, some psychiatric disorders are detected only after the surgery, interfering with the recovery and stabilization of quality of life of patients in the post-operative period. Future follow-up studies are needed to verify the possible predictors of prognosis in this population

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: Stroke is one most important cause of neuropsychological disorders. An initial cognitive assessment performed by telephone resulting in an early diagnosis of cognitive impairment and dementia, reducing costs and time. Objective: To examine the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status Assessment (TICS-M) for assessment of dementia in post-stroke patients. Methods: Prior to validation of TICS-M in post-stroke patients, translation was performed for the Brazilian-Portuguese and cross-cultural adaptation of the original version of TICS-M in a non-clinical sample of 30 subjects. After this phase, 61 stroke patients enrolled in the Stroke Mortality and Morbidity Study (The EMMA study) that occurs at the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo, were invited to participate in this sub-study to validate the TICS-M six months after the acute event. The TICS-M was applied in three moments: first evaluation (personal interview), one and two weeks after of the first evaluation. At the first evaluation, beyond the TICS-M, additional questionnaires were applied to assess cognition: MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), MMSE (Mini-Mental Status Examination), and for depression, HDRS (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale). All questionnaires were administered by two trained interviewers for the study. Reliability of the TICS-M was tested by intra-observer rates using Pearson, Intraclass and Cronbach´s alpha coefficients. The internal characteristics of TICS-M were also evaluated by an exploratory analysis using Principal Component Analysis. The discrimination validity of the instrument to assess dementia was evaluated by comparison to the MMSE analysis of the area under the curve (AUC) determined by the ROC curve. Sensitivity and specificity for the ideal cutoff to assess dementia were calculated. Results: In general, the TICS-M translated into Portuguese version showed a good understanding of the items in non-clinical individuals. A frequency of 23% suggestive of post-stroke dementia was observed. The level of education was positively associated with dementia status assessed by MMSE. The depressive status, as well as, other baseline characteristics was not associated with dementia suggested by MMSE. Test-retest reliability intra-observer revealed almost total rates in the three evaluation moments (Pearson coefficient > 0.85, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient > 0.85 and Cronbach\'s alpha coefficient: 0.96). The factorial analysis determined three domains: working memory and attention, recent and recall memory and orientation. The area under the curve (AUC) determined by TICS-M compared to MMSE was 0.89 (95% confidence interval: 0.80-0.98). The cutoff suggested for TICS-M was equal or greater than 14 points (range 0-39 points) to assess dementia (91.5% sensitivity, 71.4 % specificity). Similar results were observed with the MoCA. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of TICSM suggests being a useful and reliable research instrument to evaluate dementia in poststroke patients in epidemiological studies

O objetivo deste estudo foi validar um instrumento em Portugal para identificar as principais barreiras no acesso aos cuidados de saúde mental na população com doença mental, de modo a que no futuro se encontrem estratégias para ultrapassá-las.Métodos: A escala de Avaliação de Barreiras no Acesso a Cuidados (BACE-3) foi traduzida consoante as normas padrão de adaptação. A amostra foi constituída por 162 participantes com doença mental que foram a consulta em cuidados da saúde primários ou especializados. O inquérito incluiu outras escalas, entre elas a Escala de Comportamento de Procura de Ajuda e de Doença (IHSBS), uma adaptação do Questionário de Estado de Saúde (SF-36) e a Escala do Estigma (SS).Resultados: Obtivemos um α de Cronbach de 0,961 para a escala BACE-3 e de 0,964 para a subescala de estigma no tratamento. Respetivamente, a escala BACE-3 e os seus componentes relacionados e não relacionados com o estigma apresentaram uma correlação positiva com a SS, com coeficientes de correlação de 0,570 (p<0,001), 0,656 (p<0,001) e 0,422 (p<0,001), e uma correlação negativa com a Saúde Psicológica, com coeficientes de -0,221 (p=0,009), -0,219 (p=0,010) e -0.171 (p=0,044). Em adição, a escala BACE-3 e os seus itens não relacionados com o estigma correlacionaram-se negativamente com a Saúde Física, correspondentemente com coeficientes de correlação de -0,230 (p=0,006) e -0,248 (p=0,003).Discussão: Apesar do tamanho reduzido da amostra, a escala apresentou boa validade. Estudos futuros com avaliação teste-reteste e com amostras maiores são necessários para perceber melhor a consistência temporal e o impacto relativo destas barreiras.Conclusão: A versão portuguesa da BACE-3 é um instrumento útil para avaliar as principais barreiras no acesso aos cuidados de saúde nas pessoas com doença mental.
Introduction: There are multiple reasons why people with mental diseases occasionally delay or avoid seeking for help from health services, decreasing access to treatment and recovery. The aim of this study was to validate an instrument in Portugal to identify the main barriers to access to mental healthcare in patients diagnosed with a mental disorder, so that in the future we can find strategies to overcome them.Methods: Barriers to Access to Care Evaluation (BACE-3) scale was translated according to standard adaptation procedures. The sample consisted in 162 participants with mental disorders that attended consultation in primary or specialized care. The survey included other scales, such as the Illness and Help-Seeking Behaviour Scale (IHSBS), an adaptation of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-SP) and the Stigma Scale (SS).Results: We obtained a Cronbach’s α of 0.961 for the full BACE-3 scale and of 0.964 for the treatment stigma subscale. Respectively, BACE-3 and its stigma and non-stigma-related items presented a positive correlation with the SS, with correlation coefficients of 0.570 (p<0.001), 0.656 (p<0.001) and 0.422 (p<0.001), and a negative correlation with psychological health, with coefficients of -0.221 (p=0.009), -0.219 (p=0.010) and -0.171 (p=0.044). Also, BACE-3 and its non-stigma-related items negatively correlated with physical health, correspondingly with correlation coefficients of -0.230 (p=0.006) and -0.248 (p=0.003).Discussion: In spite of the small sample size, the scale showed good validity. Further studies with test-retest evaluation with bigger samples are needed for better understanding the temporal constancy and the relative impact of these barriers.Conclusion: The European Portuguese version of BACE-3 scale is a useful instrument to evaluate the main barriers to access to care in people with mental disorders.

Повний текст джерелаGREGORY RESEARCH BELIEFS SCALE: FACTOR STRUCTURE AND PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES The study at hand involves developing the Gregory Research Beliefs Scale (GRBS) to reliably and validly measure social work students’ beliefs about the function of research in social work practice. Research has considerable actual and potential benefits for practice. Social work students’ beliefs about this construct are vital. A description of the advantages of using research to inform practice is given. Additionally, the Council on Social Work Education and National Association of Social Workers’ policies that mandate the merger of research and practice are also provided to further justify the need for adequate psychometric evaluation of the construct. Details of the literature search strategy are described and critical evaluations of the empirical articles are conducted. Based on critical evaluations of instruments which have previously measured the same construct, a number of psychometric shortcomings are outlined to validate the need for further scale development of the construct. The present study’s objectives were to develop a scale which has an empirically and theoretically supported factor structure, acceptable coefficient alpha levels, empirically supported discriminant (divergent) validity, concurrent criterion validity, and known–groups criterion validity. Steps for developing the GRBS’s items, response format, sample, research design, and statistical tests are specified and conducted to determine the factor structure and psychometric properties. Finally, the strengths, limitations, and areas for future research are discussed.
