Actitudes de los estudiantes de Relaciones Laborales y Terapia Ocupacional ante el retraso mental.

El objetivo de este estudio es conocer las actitudes de los estudiantes de Relaciones Laborales hacia los sujetos con retraso mental. Los resultados obtenidos se comparan con las actitudes expresadas por estudiantes que finalizan sus estudios de Terapia Ocupacional tras haber cursado diversas asignaturas sobre deficiencia mental. Se concluye que la actitud de los estudiantes de Relaciones Laborales hacia la autonomía e integración laboral de deficientes mentales es más desfavorable que la de los estudiantes de Terapia Ocupacional. Esta información debe ser tenida en cuenta dado el papel que jugaran estos futuros profesionales en los servicios de recursos humanos de las empresas en las que se integren.

Análisis del perfil profesional y académico de la titulación de Terapia Ocupacional en las Universidades Públicas de Castilla y León (Universidad de Salamanca y Universidad de Burgos).

Se analiza el perfil profesional y académico de la titulación de Terapia Ocupacional en la Universidad de Salamanca y en la Universidad de Burgos. Entre las dos universidades se ha creado un grupo de trabajo para dar continuidad a las iniciativas de convergencia europea y cumplir con los objetivos previstos para conseguir la acreditación. El equipo se plantea estudiar el perfil académico y profesional de la titulación para definir las competencias generales, transversales y específicas para formar profesionales dotados de los conocimientos, habilidades y destrezas que les permitan insertarse en el mundo laboral de forma competitiva.

El procedimiento comienza con el análisis de la documentación disponible sobre el perfil de la titulación en las diferentes universidades, colegios profesionales o publicaciones. Se diseña y elabora un cuestionario con el que se realizan encuestas a un total de 256 personas, de ellos 124 eran estudiantes, 127 profesionales en activo y 5 estaban desempleados. Se recogen los datos con el paquete estadístico SPSS 11.0. Se interpretan los datos y se redacta la memoria final.

Parálisis cerebral : reeducación motriz y del lenguaje.

Aportar información sobre la reeducación motriz y del lenguaje en niños con parálisis cerebral para su integración en la escuela, el trabajo y la sociedad, factores que deben tener en cuenta los educadores y padres para la mejora de la calidad de vida. El trabajo se encuentra dividido en dos partes diferenciadas. En la primera parte, se desarrolla el concepto de parálisis cerebral, y las bases teóricas pertinentes para una correcta rehabilitación. En la segunda parte, se exponen los conceptos clave para la reeducación propiamente dicha. En el capítulo primero se explican las acotaciones al término parálisis cerebral, la definición, características principales, causas, cuadro clínico y su clasificación junto con trastornos asociados. En el capítulo segundo se desarrollan las bases teóricas de la rehabilitación, zonas cerebrales del lenguaje, la motricidad y la estimulación precoz. En el capítulo tercero se explica la reeducación del habla y del lenguaje, siguiendo el método Bobath, el método Tardieu y el método Bliss. En el capítulo cuarto se explica la reeducación motriz, la fisioterapia, la terapia ocupacional y la cirugía ortopédica, algunas sugerencias de ayudas y adaptaciones, medicaciones relajantes musculares, actividades de juego y el desarrollo de otros métodos. En el capítulo quinto se explica el papel diferencial del pedagogo en la reeducación del paralítico cerebral. El papel principal del pedagogo será el de programar actividades para que el niño desarrolle todas sus potencialidades tanto en el plano afectivo, cognitivo y psicomotor. 1) El pedagogo deberá establecer una perfecta coordinación entre familia y escuela. 2) La escuela brindará a la familia las pautas de actuación para una reeducación eficaz y duradera. 3) El pedagogo deberá adaptar los recursos didácticos a las peculiaridades de estos niños. 4) El pedagogo deberá tener material que desarrolle la percepción visual, la percepción táctil y lenguaje. 5) La labor fundamental del pedagogo será la de favorecer la integración del niño para que éste se desenvuelva en la sociedad, que realmente los centros de parálisis cerebral tiendan a desaparecer. 6) El pedagogo fomentará mediante una labor de mentalización de padres, alumnos, sociedad y profesores.

Pensar e inventar-se : terapia ocupacional como clínica dos afectos

Esse trabalho nasce da percepção de um campo de trabalho e de produção de subjetividade permeado por diferentes problemáticas da vida contemporânea e da própria formação histórica da profissão. Procura dar visibilidade a um modo de trabalhar na Terapia Ocupacional próximo a uma concepção de saúde que pressupõe a justaposição dos conceitos de complexidade e transdisciplinaridade, bem como a superação das certezas e verdades universais. Aproxima-se da problematização dos corpos e dos modos de subjetivação no processo terapêutico e, conseqüentemente, no campo político-social do qual emergem, potencializando a construção de uma prática voltada às diferenças e às singularidades dos sujeitos atendidos. Busca o entendimento do campo molecular pelo qual circula a ação do terapeuta ocupacional e da capacidade de invenção que transversaliza as ações do sujeito no mundo. Neste sentido, propõe um modo poético e singular de criar um processo de investigação e, simultaneamente, de atuação profissional que procura romper com o método de investigação mecanicista e dicotômico. Uma estratégia metodológica que prevê uma reflexão crítica sobre as experiências profissionais do terapeuta ocupacional através da análise de casos-pensamento. Um procedimento que emerge na zona de indiscernibilidade entre terapeuta e pesquisador e que tem como teia-conceitual os referenciais da Filosofia da Diferença, da Terapia Ocupacional, da Psicologia e da Literatura. Neste caminho, descortina-se a aliança da Terapia Ocupacional a uma clínica dos afectos. Encontro que aproxima arte e vida, clínica e poïética, cotidiano e invenção. Espaço entre corpos. Lugar de experimentação de si, produção de novos sentidos e expressão do pensamento, ou seja, um campo de problematização e criação da própria vida. Uma vida com intenso potencial de fazer variar os modos de estar no mundo, libertando os corpos de seus engessamentos e empobrecimentos.

This study searches in approaching diverse pertinent aspects to the immigration process that affects the countries of the European Union especially in Portugal. The works deriving from this research has its objective in: analyzing the risk, work and health in Brazilian immigrants residing in Lisbon, Portugal. As methodological way, we use the instruments: Test of Free Association of Words and half-structuralized interview. For in such a way, they had been processed in software s for analysis between them: SPSS 14,5, Evoc, Trideux and Alceste. The not-boarded results in this study will be worked as clippings and will be sent for posterior publication. Thus, I consider this work enriching, in view of contributing of the same as mechanisms of understanding of being a immigrant and the possibility of the mobilization of the society and the academic environment for a phenomenon growing each time more, especially, the professionals of health, so we can intervine in a more necessary form within the factors that affects this population layer directly

Comparação antropométrica, composição corporal, somatotipo e saltos verticais de atletas de voleibol de praia masculino

The kinanthropometric characteristics are used by the sports science as selection criteria and detection of talents. Hence, this study aimed at comparing the anthropometrical profile, the body composition, the somatotype and the vertical jumps of the beach volleyball players. This study consists of 79 male beach volleyball players, being forty nine (n=49) Brazilian participants of the National Circuit and thirty (n=30) of 15 countries participating in the XV Pan American Games. In order to analyze the vertical jumps of the Brazilian the participants were allocated into two groups (G1 and G2) in agreement with the national ranking of their teams. The vertical jump protocol developed by Smith and collaborators was used to evaluate the vertical jumps of spike and block. The Heath-Carter anthropometrical technique (1990) was used for calculating the somatotype. The Student s t test with the Bonferroni adjustment was used to calculate the differences among the investigated variables. The multiple regression analysis was used to identify the contributions of the anthropometrical variables in the performance of the vertical jumps and the multivariance analysis was used to calculate the differences among the components of the somatotype. The Brazilian athletes of G1 were better than G2 in the spike jump (p <0.01), block jump (p <0.01) and in the block difference (p <0.01). The prediction model of the spike jump of G2 included the body mass and standing spike reach (adjusted R2 = 0.77), the body mass and the standing block reach were also included in the model of the block jump (adjusted R2 = 0.73). The regression model of G1 was not statistically significant. As for the somatotype, statistically significant differences were found between the Brazilians and the Pan Americans (Wilks' lambda = 0.498; p <0.05). The Brazilian somatotype was classified as balanced mesomorph (2.7-4.3-3.0) and the Pan American somatotype as endomorphic mesomorph (3.5-4.6-2.4). As to the specific position of the block game (2.8-4.3-2.9) and the defense game (2.6-4.4-3.0), the Brazilian somatotype was classified as balanced mesomorph and the Pan American somatotype, the block (3.7-4.4-2.4) and the defense (3.4-4.9-2.3), was classified as endomorphic mesomorph. In conclusion, the vertical jump height (spike and block) influences the male Brazilian beach volleyball players performance. The physical type of the Brazilian blockers and defenders was similar with relationship to the somatotype. The Brazilian and Pan American beach volleyball players differ in terms of kinanthropometric characteristics. This work had a multidisciplinary feature with the participation of several departments and laboratories, like the Physiotherapy Department, the Nutrition Department, the Physical Education Laboratory, thus corroborating the multidisciplinary research feature

Sensibilidade da cinética do zinco e avaliação nutricional em crianças submetidas ao teste venoso de tolerância ao zinco

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinetics of this micronutrient in schoolchildren between the ages of 6 and 9 years, of both sexes, and to verify its sensitivity in detecting alterations in body zinc status. Methods: Nutritional assessment was performed by body mass index. Food intake, venous zinc tolerance test and zinc kinetics were carried out before and after 3-month oral zinc supplementation. Results: Of the 42 children studied, 76.2% had healthy weight. Only energy, calcium and fiber intake were suboptimal before and after oral zinc supplementation. Serum zinc and total-body zinc clearance, although at normal levels, increased significantly after zinc supplementation. Conclusion: We concluded, therefore, that kinetics is a sensitive tool for detecting changes in body zinc status, even in children without a deficiency of this mineral. Furthermore, kinetics showed a positive response to supplementation and may be a sensitive parameter to evaluate the efficacy of this therapy

A saúde psíquica de quem faz saúde: uma análise crítica sobre a humanização direcionada ao profissional de saúde

It is noticeable that pressure, tension and overwork are frequent in health professionals routine. The work related to the ward area demands deep attention and surveillance. Because of that, it is essential to have a specific look at the humanization directed at health professionals, considering that taking care of other human beings is the essence of their job. This study has analyzed the psychic health levels, as well as the stress health professionals are submitted to, providing a debate about the humanization in 06 public hospitals (03 of them awarded by actions of humanization, and 03 not awarded) in Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil. A study with 126 active health professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologists, nutritionists and social workers) in ward areas in their respective institutions was carried out. The thesis presented, with multi-disciplinary characteristic, counted on the support of statisticians (to calculate samples and data analysis), psychologists, social workers and administrators (linked to the human resources sector in each hospital). A cross-sectional study was performed, taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors. The tools used for that were a semistructured questionnaire with socio-demographic characteristics, work and humanization; Lipp's Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults (ISSL), and the Goldberg s General Health Questionnaire (QSG). The workers are predominantly women (84,9%), married (54,8%), between 46 and 55 years old (40,5%), working in the same institution for more than 20 years (22,2%), and between 16 and 20 years (20,6%), respectively. They work 40 hours a week (71,4%) and have multiple jobs (61,9%). Although most of these individuals global psychic health is in a good level, there are a significant number of people that is gradually getting worse concerning psychic stress (F1) showed by QSG (54,7%), and stress showed by ISSL(42,1%). Observing the categories, nurses (41,5%). Nutritionists (20,8%), doctors and social workers (18,9%), were among the most affected. About general health (F6), 63% of the awarded hospitals and 70% of the not awarded ones, presented good health levels (ranging from 5 to 50%). It was also noticed that, in the groups mentioned above, 25 and 20% respectively, were inserted in scores between 55 to 90%, what means that they are in worsening phase. The fact that the hospital is awarded or well recognized doesn t interfere in health professionals stress level and in their psychic health. Through what was heard from these individuals, it was possible to verify that they know little about humanization, once few of them identify or know that the service they offer is in an adoption process by Ministerial Policies. It was also detected the necessity of developing actions aimed at worker s health. Such results showed the importance of have more investments in programs that are directed to workers well-being, because they deal with other people s health and it is known that it is difficult for them to offer high-quality assistance if there are not suitable physical, psychological and material conditions to help them develop their jobs. As a warning, it is fair to say that investments in actions that provide humanized care to health professionals, mainly concerning preventive care for their health and life quality in their work

Talassoterapia para pacientes com fibromialgia: ensaio clínico radômico

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic rheumatic syndrome characterized by diffuse muscle-skeletal pain, and aerobic exercises represent a fundamental portion in therapeutic approach. Objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aerobic exercises accomplished in the water of the sea (thalassotherapy) for women with FM and to compare with exercises accomplished in the swimming pool, involving a multidisciplinary team, composed by rheumatologists, physical therapists, students of physical therapy and students of physical education. Forty six (46) women with age between 18 and 60 years with FM were randomized in 2 groups: a swimming pool group (23 patients) and a sea group (23 patients). 80th groups trained a week with the same program of aerobic conditioning 3 times (60 minutes each) for 12 weeks. Ali the patients were evaluated, before and immediately after treatment, with Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) for pain and fatigue, number of tending points, Fibromyalgia Impact Ouestionnaire (FIO), Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), Pittsburgh Sleep Ouality Index (PSOI) and Beck Oepression Inventory (BOI). For statistical analysis, it was used paired-t test for analysis intra-group and non-paired test for inter-groups analysis, significance levei of p <0,05. Four patients, of each group, didn't complete the training programo Groups were homogeneous and they were compared in initial evaluation, except for BOI (p <0,05). Both groups presented statistically significant improvement for ali appraised parameters in the post-treatment compared with initial evaluation, there were reduction of intensity of pain and fatigue, number of tending points, better functional capacity (FIO), life quality (SF-36), quality of sleep (PSQI) and depression indexes (BOI). However, in comparison among the groups, group of sea (thalassotherapy) presented better results for ali parameters, however with statistically significant difference just only for depression indexes (BOI). At the end, it was observed that accomplishment of aerobic exercises in sea water or swimming pool was effective as part of treatment for patients with FM. However, exercise programs with thalassotherapy seems to bring more benefits, mainly related to emotional aspects, could be a therapeutic option of low cost for patients with FM in our area
