Motivaciones (metas) relacionadas con la asistencia a actividades extracurriculares en estudiantes de psicología

El presente trabajo de investigación corresponde a un estudio exploratorio-descriptivo que indaga las motivaciones de un grupo de estudiantes de psicología de la Universidad del Rosario (UR) en Bogotá Colombia, para asistir a actividades extracurriculares (AEC). El grupo se compone de 131 estudiantes de segundo a noveno semestre. Para indagar las motivaciones, se elaboró una encuesta basada en el modelo de metas de Alonso (1991) que incluye metas relacionadas con la tarea, la autovaloración, la valoración social y consecución de recompensas externas. La encuesta se aplicó desde el segundo semestre de 2009 al primer semestre de 2011. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó el software SPSS y se elaboraron distribuciones de frecuencia y tablas de contingencia. Para observar la posible relación entre asistencia a AEC y las motivaciones de los estudiantes se utilizó el Chi Cuadrado y el Estadístico Exacto de Fisher. Los resultados indican que existe relación entre la asistencia a AEC ofrecidas por la UR desde que estudia psicología y la motivación intrínseca (P=0,006), y la asistencia a AEC antes de entrar a estudiar psicología y la consecución de premios y recompensas a nivel social (P=0,021).

Eficacia diagnóstica y terapéutica de las radiografías de tórax rutinarias matutinas en cuidado intensivo pediátrico

Introducción: la utilidad de las radiografías de tórax rutinarias se encuentra en discusión, con estudios que avalan su uso y, en el otro extremo, estudios que solo encuentran utilidad marginal. Objetivos: determinar la eficacia diagnóstica y terapéutica de las radiografías de tórax rutinarias matutinas en pacientes pediátricos bajo ventilación mecánica y la identificación de subgrupos en quienes dichas radiografías sean de mayor utilidad. Metodología: estudio prospectivo, analítico, transversal, realizado en pacientes de un mes a 18 años, sometidos a ventilación mecánica por más de 48 horas, entre diciembre de 2010 a noviembre de 2011. Se emplearon las pruebas de X2 de Pearson y el test de Fischer. Para el análisis de los datos, se utilizaron los programas Statgraphics y SPSS, versión 15. Resultados: se evaluaron 53 pacientes con 536 radiografías. Los hallazgos fueron principalmente menores. Los hallazgos mayores solo corresponden al 10.3% de los casos, siendo principalmente mal posición del tubo endotraqueal y nuevos infiltrados infecciosos. No fue posible establecer subgrupos pero los datos sugieren mayor utilidad de dichas radiografías en pacientes de menor edad y peso, así como en los sometidos a alto soporte ventilatorio. Conclusiones: la utilidad de las radiografías rutinarias en pacientes pediátricos es marginal, siendo necesaria la realización de nuevos estudios para establecer su eficacia diagnóstica y su utilidad en subgrupos de pacientes. Palabras clave: radiografía de tórax, rayos x de tórax, radiología, unidad de cuidado intensivo, unidad de cuidado crítico.

Prevalencia de anormalidades estructurales cardiacas en pacientes con enfermedad isquémica. Bogotá 2007 – 2009

Introducción: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la causa de muerte más frecuente en el mundo desarrollado, la mayoría de éstas se relacionan con alteraciones de las arterias coronarias, sin embargo un subgrupo de pacientes presentan como causa de isquemia cardiaca alteraciones estructurales. Material y métodos: Estudio Descriptivo. Se utilizó la base de datos recolectada en un servicio de hemodinamia de Bogotá durante dos años. Se aplicaron criterios de inclusión y exclusión y se determinaron cuatro grupos etáreos, a todos los pacientes se les practicó cateterismo cardiaco diagnóstico. Las variables analizadas fueron: diagnóstico de referencia, antecedentes y resultados del cateterismo incluyendo presencia de anomalías estructurales como las valvulopatias, el origen anómalo de las coronarias y los puentes miocárdicos. Para el análisis descriptivo se utilizó reporte de prevalencias y para el análisis de asociaciones se utilizaron tablas de contingencia y el estadístico de prueba Chi cuadrado, no se realizó análisis multivariado debido a que no se encontraron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas. Resultados: La edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 62 años (DS= 10,5), la representación del género masculino fue del 61,7%, la prevalencia de angina estable fue del 61,6%, los 3 antecedentes más prevalentes fueron: hipertensión arterial (41,4%), la hiperlipidemia (19,1%) y la Diabetes Mellitus (17,7%). La prevalencia de las alteraciones estructurales en la población de estudio de manera general fue del 12,9%, y su distribución por tipo fue: 1,4% para puentes miocárdicos, 0,7% para origen anómalo de las arterias coronarias y 10,8% de enfermedad valvular. Conclusiones: Se encontró una asociación entre los antecedentes médicos y la presencia de valvulopatias cardiacas. Se evidenció que el género no tiene relación con la presencia de alteraciones cardíacas a pesar de la mayor participación de hombres en la población de estudio. Las limitantes de este estudio se relacionaron con el tamaño de muestra, debido a la baja prevalencia de las anomalías estructurales medidas.

Determinar las características demográficas y resultados espirométricos en trabajadores de la asociación nacional de fabricantes de ladrillos y materiales de construcción (Anafalco) en el mes de agosto del 2013

Objetivo: Identificar las alteraciones espirométricas en trabajadores de las ladrilleras en el sur de Bogotá y sus condiciones sociodemográficas Metodologia: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de tipo transversal, donde se evaluaron las condiciones demográficas de trabajadores de 17 ladrilleras de 33 que conforman LA ASOCIACIÓN NACIONAL DE FABRICANTES DE LADRILLOS Y MATERIALES DE CONSTRUCCIÓN (ANAFALCO) y el resultado de la espirometría en pacientes con exámenes médicos ocupacionales en el mes de agosto de 2013 realizados por la compañía ASODER CONSULTORES IPS en Bogotá Colombia. Los datos obtenidos son descritos mediante medidas de frecuencia relativas como porcentajes y se consideró el uso de tablas de contingencia para el cruce de variables. Resultados: Se encontro una población predominantemente masculina, cuya media de edad es de 41,6 años, con un nivel educativo dada por educación básica primaria incompleta y con prevalencia del estado civil de unión libre; el 91% de la población labora en el área operativa, con una antigüedad en la empresa prevalente entre 1 a 5 años con un 44%. El 31% de los trabajadores presento habito de consumo de cigarrillo, y el 35% reporto practicar algún ejercicio físico. En los resultados de la espirometria el 79% presento resultado normal, el 21% mostro espirometria anormal, con predominancia de patrón obstructivo leve (17%). Conclusiones: La alteración del patrón espirometrico predomina en trabajadores del área operativa, con edad mayor a 50 años, que llevan más de 10 años trabajando en la empresa. El habito de fumar no es un factor de riesgo directamente relacionado, pero la práctica de deporte si figura como factor protector. El patrón de alteración predominante fue el obstructivo leve, lo que sugiere la posibilidad de aplicar medidas de prevención y protección para minimizar la progresión hacia alteraciones de mayor severidad.

Coronary heart disease risk screening: the community pharmacy Healthy Heart Assessment Service

Objectives We examined the characteristics and CHD risks of people who accessed the free Healthy Heart Assessment (HHA) service operated by a large UK pharmacy chain from August 2004 to April 2006. Methods Associations between participants’ gender, age, and socioeconomics were explored in relation to calculated 10-year CHD risks by cross-tabulation of the data. Specific associations were tested by forming contingency tables and using Pearson chi-square (χ2). Results Data from 8,287 records were analysable; 5,377 were at low and 2,910 at moderate-to-high CHD risk. The likelihood of moderate-to-high risk for a male versus female participant was significantly higher with a relative risk ratio (RRR) 1.72 (P < 0.001). A higher percentage of those in socioeconomic categories ‘constrained by circumstances’ (RRR 1.15; P < 0.05) and ‘blue collar communities’ (RRR 1.13; P < 0.05) were assessed with moderate-to-high risk compared to those in ‘prospering suburbs’. Conclusions People from ‘hard-to-reach’ sectors of the population, men and people from less advantaged communities, accessed the HHA service and were more likely to return moderate-to-high CHD risk. Pharmacists prioritised provision of lifestyle information above the sale of a product. Our study supports the notion that pharmacies can serve as suitable environments for the delivery of similar screening services.

Inferential Implications of Over-Parametrization: A Case Study in Incomplete Categorical Data

P>In the context of either Bayesian or classical sensitivity analyses of over-parametrized models for incomplete categorical data, it is well known that prior-dependence on posterior inferences of nonidentifiable parameters or that too parsimonious over-parametrized models may lead to erroneous conclusions. Nevertheless, some authors either pay no attention to which parameters are nonidentifiable or do not appropriately account for possible prior-dependence. We review the literature on this topic and consider simple examples to emphasize that in both inferential frameworks, the subjective components can influence results in nontrivial ways, irrespectively of the sample size. Specifically, we show that prior distributions commonly regarded as slightly informative or noninformative may actually be too informative for nonidentifiable parameters, and that the choice of over-parametrized models may drastically impact the results, suggesting that a careful examination of their effects should be considered before drawing conclusions.Resume Que ce soit dans un cadre Bayesien ou classique, il est bien connu que la surparametrisation, dans les modeles pour donnees categorielles incompletes, peut conduire a des conclusions erronees. Cependant, certains auteurs persistent a negliger les problemes lies a la presence de parametres non identifies. Nous passons en revue la litterature dans ce domaine, et considerons quelques exemples surparametres simples dans lesquels les elements subjectifs influencent de facon non negligeable les resultats, independamment de la taille des echantillons. Plus precisement, nous montrons comment des a priori consideres comme peu ou non-informatifs peuvent se reveler extremement informatifs en ce qui concerne les parametres non identifies, et que le recours a des modeles surparametres peut avoir sur les conclusions finales un impact considerable. Ceci suggere un examen tres attentif de l`impact potentiel des a priori.

Missing data mechanisms and their implications on the analysis of categorical data

We review some issues related to the implications of different missing data mechanisms on statistical inference for contingency tables and consider simulation studies to compare the results obtained under such models to those where the units with missing data are disregarded. We confirm that although, in general, analyses under the correct missing at random and missing completely at random models are more efficient even for small sample sizes, there are exceptions where they may not improve the results obtained by ignoring the partially classified data. We show that under the missing not at random (MNAR) model, estimates on the boundary of the parameter space as well as lack of identifiability of the parameters of saturated models may be associated with undesirable asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators and likelihood ratio tests; even in standard cases the bias of the estimators may be low only for very large samples. We also show that the probability of a boundary solution obtained under the correct MNAR model may be large even for large samples and that, consequently, we may not always conclude that a MNAR model is misspecified because the estimate is on the boundary of the parameter space.

O mobralense e o domínio do léxico

Na presente pesquisa de campo, abordou-se, primeir~ mente, o estudo da comunicação entre os homens por códigos verbais, as relações entre a linguagem e o pensamento e a visão do mundo percebida pelo individuo ou pela comunidade através do uso da lin guagem. A seguir examinou-se o sistema escola, comprometido com a transmissão de uma determinada cosmovisão, caracteristica de uma nacionalidade dada, e/ou com a manutenção de valores e modos de vi da que identificam uma certa comunidade. As considerações feitas justificam a importância dada à alfabetização e aos programas de alfabetização em massa nos paises em desenvolvimento, c omo o Brasil. Levando-se em conta estas colocações, planejou-se investigar o vocabulário corrente de trinta e sete alunos do MOBRAL, em Nova Friburgo, relacionando-o com os indices sociais dos informantes (procedência, anos de vida na área geográfica considerada, idade, sexo e profissão), com as variáres temáticas (alimentação, saúde/ doença, profissão/afazeres, expectativas de vida, lembranças de vi da, lazer/diversões), escolhidas após sondagem prévia das condições de vida e dos interesses dos informantes, e com as variáveis lingüisticas, ou seja, as classes de palavras. Neste estudo explQ ratório, propôs-se ainda verificar em que medida o material escri to dos livros de leitura continuada do MOBRAL e dos jornais clas se A (Jornal do Brasil) e C (O Dia e Oltima Hora) se relacionam com o vocabulário utilizado pelos alunos do MOBRAL, em Nova Fribur go. Visando ao levantamento do vocabulário dos entrevistados,foram gravadas cinqüenta falas de acordo com a metodologia utilizada em trabalhos de natureza sociolingüistica . Os dados obtidos neste "corpus" gravado foram anali sados quantitativamente, aplicando-se um programa computacional cQ nhecido como SPSS. O estudo das rel ações entre as variáveis(classi ficação morfológica, tema, idade, sexo, profissão) conduziu à for mação de tabelas de contingência multivariada . A análise dos resultados ofereceu algumas conclusões como o uso constante de substantivos e verbos nas elocuções . Embora se tenha introduzido a técnica de captar as palavras disponíveis durante as entrevistas, não foi alterado o número de substan I tivos nesta pesquisa, porque os informantes não indicaram o nome das coisas isoladamente, fizeram-no por enunciados completos. Ba seando-se neste resultado, propuseram-se algumas sugestões de in teresse pedagógico para utilização do MOBRAL: a primeira -- nao en fatizar os nomes (processo estático da língua) em detrimento dos verkos (processo dinâmico); a segunda -- o uso de frases nas estra tégias de alfabetização. No exame das relações entre as variáveis, a grande variação detectada deveu-se ao tema. Quando se investigou a variedade dos vocábulos usa dos pelos entrevistados em Nova Friburgo, observou-se que das 11.337 ocorrências de substantivos, encontraram-se 2.222 substanti vos diferentes e 1.590 vocábulos; das 17.604 ocorrências de verbos, encontraram-se 2.365 verbos diferentes e 588 vocábulos; das 1.980 ocorrências de adjetivo~, encontraram-se 660 adjetivos diferentes e 488 vocábulos. Concluiu-se que o vocabulário deste grupo pode ser diferente dos de outras áreas, dos de outras cfu~adas sociais inse ridas em outros contextos, mas não é limitado, nem re stri to.Expre~ sa a visão e a expectativa do mundo que os cerca. Outra recomendação ao MOBRAL: a escolha das palavras a ensinar seria colhida nas diversas comunidades, onde funcionam as classes de alfabetização e a motivação para sua seleção deveria estar ligada às necessidades cotidianas dos adultos com a palavra geradora integrada em frases.

Análise de performance de fundos de investimento multimercado no Brasil

O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar se os fundos de investimento Multimercado no Brasil geram alphas significativamente positivos, ou seja, se os gestores possuem habilidade e contribuem positivamente para o retorno de seus fundos. Para calcular o alpha dos fundos, foi utilizado um modelo com sete fatores, baseado, principalmente, em Edwards e Caglayan (2001), com a inclusão do fator de iliquidez de uma ação. O período analisado vai de 2003 a 2013. Encontramos que, em média, os fundos multimercado geram alpha negativo. Porém, apesar de o percentual dos que geram interceptos positivos ser baixo, a magnitude dos mesmos é expressiva. Os resultados diferem bastante por classificação Anbima e por base de dados utilizada. Verifica-se também se a performance desses fundos é persistente através de um modelo não-paramétrico baseado em tabelas de contingência. Não encontramos evidências de persistência, nem quando separamos os fundos por classificação.

Estilo de vida individual de universitários jovens com excesso de peso da Universidade Católica de Murcia-Espanha

Individual lifestyle includes health and risk behaviors that can altar health status. Excess weight is a public health problem of modern civilization and there is an estimated mean prevalence of 45% in European countries. In Spain, the Murcia Region is an area of high morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disorders. In this study we assess the differences in health and risk behaviors in ove/weight and normal weight undergraduates at the Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM). Methods: Transversal design of parallel groups (overweight - cases and normal weight - control) , formed using the anthropometric technique. A questionnaire applied to a sample of 471 undergraduates of either sex, between the ages of 18 and 29 years, enrolled in 4 bachelor degree courses (ADE, CA, PER, PUB) at UCAM. We performed a standardized measurement of body mass (weight in kg), height (in meters) using a Seca® scale with calibrated stadiometer, waist and hip circumferences (in cm) with an inelastic tape and skinfolds thickness (triceps and subscapular in mm) with a Holtain® caliper, to calculate body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and the sum of skinfolds (SSF). We applied a lifestyle questionnaire about alcohol and tobacco consumption, knowledge and behaviors related to health indicators (arterial pressure and cholesterol), diet and physical activity. The information was collected in April and May, 2001 at the UCAM laboratory of Applied Nutrition. Statistical analysis: analysis of independent groups, contingency tables that reveal which qualitativa variables show differences and associations between the groups, Pearson's chi-square,and a significance levei of p < 0.05 followed by a residual analysis (1.96). Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to establish the two groups: case and contrai with 65 men and 26 women each who had BMI < 25 kg/m2. Results: A total of 65 of the men assessed (14%) and 26 (6%) of the women were overweight. Mean body mass index of the case group was 27. 78 ±: 2.83 kg/m2 in the men and 26.26 ± 1.37 kg/m2 in the women, while contrai group men had mean BMI of 22.36 ± 1.72 kg/m2, while for the women it was 20.76 ±: 2.13 kg/m2. The self-declared values of weight and height were underestimated, but with high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Thus, these can be used to calculate the BMI of overweight Spanish undergraduates. Regular vigorous physical activity was observed only in normal weight men. The analysis showed the following significant differences for the qualitativa variables of the two groups. The contrai group was interested in arterial hypertension, believed that they were not overweight, that they had no abdominal fat, and had not considered controlling 'fatty food consumption. Those who thought of controlling it sometimes, did so without professional help. However, part of the overweight group believed that they were overweight and had abdominal fat between average and considerable, had often or always considered controlling fatty foods and had often or always tried to control consumption with the help of professionals. They had always thought of engaging in physical activities, unlike the normal weight individuals. Nearly all (95%) of the overweight undergraduates and most (75%) of the normal weight group reported that they sometimes or always controlled fatty food ingestion. Mean physical activity was nearly twice as high in the summer than in the winter. Conclusions: The overweight undergraduates in this sample displayed a lifestyle with a greater number of healthy behaviors when compared to normal weight individuals

O conhecimento e as atitudes das famílias de pacientes em tratamento em tuberculose na atenção primária à saúde

This study thus sought to examine knowledge about TB and attitudes of patients families in disease treatment in Primary Health Care in Natal- RN. To this end, a cross-sectional study was undertaken through a questionnaire with families of patients diagnosed with TB and follow up by APS from Natal. The study subjects were recruited from a non-probabilistic way, by convenience, contemplating a sample of 50 families. Among the criteria considered for inclusion of subjects, older than 18 years were considered, as well as residing with the TB patient and in Natal and availability to participate in the research. Data collection was performed by own researcher and an assistant, through a questionnaire with families of patients diagnosed with TB following the double independent digitalization of data. In the analytical phase, was initially conducted an exploratory phase and univariate data, with description of the position measurements (mean, median, mode) and dispersion (confidence interval and standard deviation). In bivariate analysis, it was conducted an intersection of dependent variables of knowledge e and changes of attitude dichotomous, with each of the independent variables, using contingency tables and calculating the chi-square test and, when appropriate, the Fisher exact test. In 2x2 tables, calculated the odds ratio (OR) with confidence intervals of 95% (95% CI). From the selected sample, 43 (86%) subjects were female, average age and median respectively of 46.64 and 46.50 years, 25 (50%) had elementary school. The knowledge expressed by family members about TB was considered satisfactory. However, the lack of interest of the family (54%) in seeking information about tuberculosis; the wrong way of reply in relation to the organism causing the disease (64%); the water content (62%) and contaminated food (54% ) as a means of spreading TB was a weakness identified in the investigation. Regarding the time of transmission, 90% of respondents indicated not know or answered wrong. From investigated independent variables, only two were associated with lack of knowledge of TB, and they did not have religion (OR: 0.146, 95% CI: 0.027 to 0.800) and income below 1, 7 minimum wages (OR: 0.155, 95% CI: 0.029 to 0.813). Thus they seem to exercise a protective effect on this outcome. As for the changes in attitude, most of the found variables had no association with statistical significance, except no internet access (OR: 0.212, 95% CI: 0,048-0, 935). Most attitudes were positive in relation to TB patient. Results have demonstrated weaknesses in TB care, which has taken on a more individual and welfare character. Data not only express health outcomes produced by health services, but also the political and social situation of the families that are affected by TB

Avaliação da assistência à saúde dos portadores de úlceras venosas atendidos no programa saúde da família do município de Natal/RN

Descriptive research aimed at evaluating the assistance offered to patients with venous ulcers, on lower limbs, attended by the Family Health Program (FHP) team, from the municipality of Natal/RN. The target population was composed of 74 patients with venous ulcers (VU), attended by the FHP teams in the 31 FHUs. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (protocol n.55/05). The data collection was performed in patients homes and in the FHUs, through structured interviews and physical examinations of patients with VU and non-participant observation during the changing of wound dressings in these Units and in users homes. The data was organized into an Excel electronic table and transported into the SPSS 14.0 program, for descriptive analysis on 2x2 contingency tables and inferential (Qui-Square χ2, Spearman Correlation, Binomial Proportion Test and p-value <0.05). The prevalence of VU (0.36/1000) in the target population (over 20 years of age) was greater than in the population registered in FHP (0.25/1000). We detected a greater prevalence in the age area of over 60 years (2.22/1000), with 2.98/1000 for females and 1.3/1000 for males (p-value=0.008). The sociodemographical and health characteristics of patients with VU revealed predominance of females (74.5%), elders over 60 years of age (67.6%), with fundamental education (74.3%), family earnings of up to 2 minimum wages (68.9%), retired (90.5%), ortostatic position (23.0%), inadequate sleep (59,9%), presence of CVI (100.0%), hypertension (44.6%) and diabetes (25.7%). As for the time of existence of the VU, 64.9% had over 1 year, and 35.1% less than 1 year), with predominance of one wound (67.6%). The changing of wound dressings is performed mostly at home, in and inadequate way, especially with incorrect cleaning techniques, likewise incorrect use of products and substances, and reduced participation of the FHP team on the evaluation and application of the dressing and choosing of products and substances. The compressive therapy is not part of therapeutic conducts for treatment in the FHUs. As for the evaluation of assistance to patients with VU, 90.5% were inadequate and only 9.5% adequate. The main inadequacy factors were the absence of: diagnosis (47.3%), consultation with and angiologist (63.5%), compressive treatment (100.0%), adequate optical therapy (98.62%), adequate dressing kit (70.3%), training for the changing of dressings (67.6%), following by the FHP team (51.4%) and performed exams (55.4%). We ve concluded that patients with VU mostly present now socioeconomical level and associated chronic diseases. Considering that assistance offered by FHP is non-systematic, fragmented, with no diagnosis planning, continual evaluation and evolution, we qualify the assistance as inadequate and with low level of solution, directly interfering on the maintenance of the VUs chronic state
