Introdução: A validação de instrumentos é essencial na investigação epidemiológica, especialmente para a definição consensual de caso e comparação de resultados. Atualmente, o instrumento mais utilizado para identificar a dispepsia funcional é o questionário Roma III, o qual não se encontra validado para a população portuguesa. Objetivos: Validar o questionário Roma III para dispepsia funcional em adultos Portugueses. Métodos: O questionário foi traduzido seguindo as recomendações de Roma III. Um total de 166 indivíduos responderam ao questionário. A identificação da categoria dispepsia funcional em adultos baseou-se em um ou mais sintomas dos 4 sintomas que a escala permite avaliar através de 6 itens. A consistência interna, reprodutibilidade e análise de conteúdo foram avaliados com recurso ao SPSS 23.0. Resultados: O coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach no total dos 18 itens avaliados foi de 0.89. Para a categoria dispepsia funcional (avaliada através de 6 itens) foi de 0.76 e o alfa de Cronbach com base em itens padronizados foi de 0.85. Conclusões: validamos, para Portugal, o Questionário Roma III para o diagnóstico de doenças gastrointestinais funcionais, designadamente para a categoria dispepsia funcional em adultos. Estes resultados sugerem que este instrumento será útil para a investigação na população Portuguesa.

Introdução: A análise do estilo de vida foi operacionalizada através do questionário Estilo de Vida Fantástico (EVF), como base na adaptação do questionário Do you have a Fantastic lifestyle de McMaster University, Canadá (Silva, Brito, Amado, 2010). O questionário EVF é um instrumento genérico que foi desenvolvido no Departamento de Medicina Familiar da Universidade McMaster, no Canadá, por Wilson e Ciliska em 1984, com a finalidade de auxiliar os médicos que trabalhavam na prevenção, para que pudessem conhecer e medir o estilo de vida dos seus utentes hipertensos. A sua aplicação identifica os estilos de vida permitindo conceber um plano individualizado/programa para promoção de saúde e/ou prevenção de comportamentos não saudáveis. Objetivos: Pretendeu-se desenvolver uma investigação cujos objetivos foram:  Caracterizar o perfil da população hipertensa inscrita na Consulta do Hipertenso da Consulta Externa do Serviço de Cardiologia de um centro hospitalar central segundo o estilo de vida;  Analisar as dimensões do estilo de vida mais afetadas. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo de abordagem quantitativa, descritivo, analítico, correlacional, de corte transversal, numa amostra não probabilística acidental de 105 utentes hipertensos. Aplicação do questionário Estilo de Vida Fantástico, constituído por 30 questões de resposta fechada, abordando dez domínios: Família/amigos; Atividade física/Associativismo; Nutrição; Tabaco, Álcool/outras drogas; Sono e Stress; Trabalho/Tipo de personalidade; Introspeção; Comportamentos de saúde sexual e Outros comportamentos. Resultados: Relativamente à análise do estilo de vida através da escala EVF, podemos observar que a média foi de 83,2. Os scores mais elevados foram atribuídos aos domínios 2 família e amigos, tabaco, álcool e drogas e outros comportamentos, contrapondo-se com os domínios de atividade física/associativismo, nutrição, trabalho/tipo de personalidade. Discussão: Verificamos que os elementos da amostra de situam entre um bom estilo de vida proporcionando muitos benefícios para a saúde e um excelente estilo de vida, proporcionando uma ótima influência para a saúde. Averiguamos que os domínios atividade física/associativismo, nutrição, tabaco e comportamentos de saúde e sexuais, são aqueles que evidenciaram piores scores e, consequentemente, aqueles que deverão ser trabalhados de forma a otimizar o seus estado de saúde. Conclusão: Identificaram-se comportamentos menos salutares, possibilitando uma intervenção direcionada/objetiva, de modificação/promoção de estilos/hábitos saudáveis atempadamente.

O objectivo do presente trabalho foi verificar as diferenças entre grupos, quanto à cooperação, numa amostra de 300 funcionários de 70 Câmaras Municipais, nas variáveis tempo de trabalho, função desempenhada, área de trabalho, idade, sexo e habilitações académicas. Utilizámos o Questionário de Cooperação Organizacional. Não observámos diferenças significativas nas variáveis tempo de serviço, área de trabalho, idade, sexo e habilitações académicas em nenhum dos três factores do QCO (cooperação configurada por regulamentações formais, cooperação decorrente da interdependência de indivíduos únicos articulados entre si, e cooperação através da orientação para a sociedade dos contributos singulares). Na variável função desempenhada, não houve diferenças significativas no primeiro nem no terceiro factores. No segundo factor, observámos uma diferença significativa entre administrativos (que referem que se coopera pouco) e ocupantes de cargos de direcção e chefia (que referem que se coopera moderadamente). As variáveis estudadas não são, em geral, pertinentes para a diferenciação dos processos de cooperação. /ABSTRACT: The aim of this dissertation was to test the differences between groups, concerning cooperation, on a random sample with 300 workers from 70 municipalities, focusing on the variables working time, task, working department, age, gender and qualifications. We used the Questionnaire on Organizational Cooperation. No significant differences in the variables working time, working department, age, gender, and qualifications in any of the three dimensions of the QOC (cooperation shaped by formal regulations; cooperation arising from the interdependence of unique individuals articulated with one another; cooperation towards society, arising from the individual action) were found. We found no significant differences in the variable task, neither in the first nor in the third factor. ln the second factor, we observed a significant difference between clerks (who state that cooperation is little) and workers in leading and management positions (who state that cooperation is moderate). The variables that were studied are not generally relevant to the differentiation of the cooperation processes.

The measurement of Cobb angles on radiographs of patients with spinal deformities is routine practice in spinal clinics. The technique relies on the use and availability of specialist equipment such as a goniometer, cobbometer or protractor. The aim of this study was to validate the use of i-Phone (Apple Inc) combined with Tilt Meter Pro software as compared to a protractor in the measurement of Cobb angles. The i-Phone combined with Tilt Meter Pro software offers a faster alternative to the traditional method of Cobb angle measurement. The use of i-Phone offers a more convenient way of measuring Cobb angles in the outpatient setting. The intra-observer repeatability of the iPhone is equivalent to the protractor in the measurement of Cobb angles.

Surgical treatment of scoliosis is quantitatively assessed in the clinic using radiographic measures of deformity correction, as well as the rib hump, but it is important to understand the extent to which these quantitative measures correlate with self-reported improvements in patients’ quality of life following surgery. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the relationship between clinical outcomes of thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis surgery and deformity correction using the Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire (SRS-24). Patients undergoing thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis correction report good SRS scores which are comparable to those reported in previous studies for both open and thoracoscopic scoliosis correction procedures. Major Cobb correction is a significant predictor of patient satisfaction when comparing subgroups of patients with the highest and lowest major curve corrections.

The relationship between deformity correction and self-reported patient satisfaction after thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis surgery is unknown. Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire scores, radiographic outcomes, and rib hump correction were prospectively assessed for a group of 100 patients pre-operatively and at two years after surgery. Patients with lower post-op major Cobb angles report significantly higher SRS scores than patients with higher post-op Cobb angles.

Prospective clinical case series of 100 patients receiving thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis correction surgery. The objective was to evaluate the relationship between clinical outcomes of thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis surgery and deformity correction using the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) outcomes instrument questionnaire. The surgical treatment of scoliosis is quantitatively assessed in the clinic using radiographic measures of deformity correction, as well as the rib hump, but it is important to understand the extent to which these quantitative measures correlate with self-reported improvements in patients’ quality of life following surgery. A series of 100 consecutive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients received a single anterior rod via a thoracoscopic approach at the Mater Children’s Hospital, Brisbane, Australia. Patients completed SRS outcomes questionnaires pre-operatively and at 24 months post-operatively. There were 94 females and 6 males with a mean age of 16.1 years. The mean Cobb angle improved from 52º pre-operatively to 25º post-operatively (52%) and the mean rib hump improved from 16º to 8º (51%). The mean total SRS score for the cohort was 99.4/120. None of the deformity related parameters in the multiple regression were significant. However, patients with the lowest post-operative major Cobb angles reported significantly higher SRS scores than those with the highest post-operative Cobb angles, but there was no difference on the basis of rib hump correction. There were no significant differences between patients with either rod fractures or screw-related complications compared to those without complications.

Introduction. Surgical treatment of scoliosis is assessed in the spine clinic by the surgeon making numerous measurements on X-Rays as well as the rib hump. But it is important to understand which of these measures correlate with self-reported improvements in patients’ quality of life following surgery. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between patient satisfaction after thoracoscopic (keyhole) anterior scoliosis surgery and standard deformity correction measures using the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) adolescent questionnaire. Methods. A series of 100 consecutive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients received a single anterior rod via a keyhole approach at the Mater Children’s Hospital, Brisbane. Patients completed SRS outcomes questionnaires before surgery and again at 24 months after surgery. Multiple regression and t-tests were used to investigate the relationship between SRS scores and deformity correction achieved after surgery. Results. There were 94 females and 6 males with a mean age of 16.1 years. The mean Cobb angle improved from 52º pre-operatively to 21º for the instrumented levels post-operatively (59% correction) and the mean rib hump improved from 16º to 8º (51% correction). The mean total SRS score for the cohort was 99.4/120 which indicated a high level of satisfaction with the results of their scoliosis surgery. None of the deformity related parameters in the multiple regressions were significant. However, the twenty patients with the smallest Cobb angles after surgery reported significantly higher SRS scores than the twenty patients with the largest Cobb angles after surgery, but there was no difference on the basis of rib hump correction. Discussion. Patients undergoing thoracoscopic (keyhole) anterior scoliosis correction report good SRS scores which are comparable to those in previous studies. We suggest that the absence of any statistically significant difference in SRS scores between patients with and without rod or screw complications is because these complications are not associated with any clinically significant loss of correction in our patient group. The Cobb angle after surgery was the only significant predictor of patient satisfaction when comparing subgroups of patients with the largest and smallest Cobb angles after surgery.

This study investigated the grain size dependence of mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of microcrystalline (mc) and nanocrystalline (nc: grain size below 100 nm) Mg-5wt% Al alloys. The Hall-Petch relationship was investigated by both instrumented indentation tests and compression tests. The test results from the indentation tests and compression tests match well with each other. The breakdown of Hall-Petch relationship and the elevated strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of present Mg-5wt% Al alloys when the grain size was reduced below 58nm indicated the more significant role of GB mediated mechanisms in plastic deformation process. However, the relatively smaller SRS values compared to GB sliding and coble creep process suggested the plastic deformation in the current study is still dislocation mediated mechanism dominant.

The relationship between radiologic union and clinical outcomes in thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery is not clear, as apparent non-union of a spinal fusion does not always correspond to a poor clinical result. The aim of this study was to evaluate for the first time the interbody fusion rates using low dose CT scans at minimum 24 months after thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery, and to explore the relationship between fusion scores and; (i) rod diameter, (ii) graft type, (iii) fusion level, (iv) implant failure, and (v) lateral position in the disc space. The study found that moderate fusion scores on the Sucato scale secure successful clinical outcomes in thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery.

In Australia, there is only one, newly established, dedicated mental health service catering specifically for the signing *Deaf community. It is staffed by four part-time hearing professionals and based in Brisbane. There are currently no Deaf psychologists or psychiatrists and there is no valid or reliable empirical evidence on outcomes for Deaf people accessing specialised or mainstream mental health services. Further compounding these issues, is the fact that there are no sign language versions of the most common standardised mental health or psychological instruments available to clinicians in Australia. Contemporary counselling literature is acknowledging the role of the therapeutic alliance and the impact of 'common factors' on therapeutic outcomes. However, these issues are complicated by the relationship between the Deaf client and the hearing therapist being a cross-cultural exchange. The disability model of deafness is contentious and few professionals in Australia have the requisite knowledge and understanding of deafness from a cultural perspective to attend to the therapeutic relationship with this in mind. Consequently, Deaf people are severely disadvantaged by the current lack of services, resources and skilled professionals in the field of deafness and psychology in this country. The primary aim of the following program of research has been to propose a model for culturally affirmative service delivery and to provide clinicians with tools to evaluate the effect of their therapeutic work with Deaf people seeking mental health treatment. The research document is presented as a thesis by publication and comprises four specific objectives formulated in response to the lack of existing services and resources. The first objective was to explore the use of social constructionist counselling techniques and a reflecting team with Deaf clients, hearing therapists and an interpreter. Following the establishment of a pilot counselling clinic, indepth semi-structured interviews were conducted with two long-term clients following the one year pilot of this service. These interviews generated recommendations for the development of a new 'enriched' model of counselling to be implemented and evaluated in later stages of the research program. The second objective was to identify appropriate psychometric measures that could be translated into Australian Sign Language (Auslan) for research into efficacy, effectiveness and counselling outcomes. Two instruments were identified as potentially suitable; the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS), a measure of global functioning, and the Session Rating Scale (SRS), a measure of therapeutic alliance. A specialised team of bi-lingual and bi-cultural interpreters, native signers and the primary researcher for this thesis, produced the ORS-Auslan and the SRS-Auslan in DVD format, using the translation and back-translation process. The third objective was to establish the validity and reliability of these new Auslan measures based on normative data from the Deaf community. Data from the ORS-Auslan was collected from one clinical and one non-clinical sample of Deaf people. Statistical analyses revealed that the ORS-Auslan is reliable, valid and adequately distinguishes between clinical and non-clinical presentations. Furthermore, construct validity has been established using a yet to be validated sign language version of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 items (DASS-21), providing a platform for further research using the DASS-21 with Deaf people. The fourth objective was to evaluate counselling outcomes following the implementation of an enriched counselling service, based on the findings generated by the first objective, and using the newly translated Auslan measures. A second university counselling clinic was established and implemented over the course of one year. Practice-based evidence guided the research and the ORS-Auslan and the SRS-Auslan were administered at every session and provided outcome data on Deaf clients' global functioning. Data from six clients over the course of ten months indicated that this culturally affirmative model was an effective approach for these six clients. This is the first time that outcome data have been collected in Australia using valid and reliable Auslan measures to establish preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of any therapeutic intervention for clinical work with adult, signing Deaf clients. The research generated by this thesis contributes theoretical knowledge, professional development and practical resources that can be used by a variety of mental health clinicians in the context of mental health service delivery to Deaf clients in Australia.
