Influência do fortalecimento muscular no equilíbrio e qualidade de vida em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of muscle strengthening in the balance, mobility and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), and to check the correlation between muscle strengthening and QoL. Nine subjects belonging to both sexes, diagnosed with PD, participated in this study. Initially, they went through an evaluation of their balance and functional mobility through the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the ­Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and a QoL test through the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). The subjects also performed a test for determining the maximum load (one-repetition maximum) for the muscle groups trained. After the normality and homogeneity of the data were verified, the Student's t-test and Spearman correlation test were carried out. A significance level of p<0.05 was considered. We verified an improvement in balance (p=0.008) and QoL (p=0.013), and a negative correlation between balance and QoL (evaluation: r=-0.65 and p=0.05, revaluation: r=-0.82 and p=0.005). It was concluded that muscle strengthening was efficient in the improvement of balance and QoL in individuals with PD.

Influência do tratamento fisioterapêutico em grupo no equilíbrio, na mobilidade funcional e na qualidade de vida de pacientes com Parkinson

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic disease of the nervous system, characterized by degeneration of neurons in the mesencephalic substantia nigra, leading to a clinical state of rest tremor, bradykinesia, muscular rigidity and postural instability. Physical therapy seeks to act by slowing the progression of the disease and when done in a group and maintain and / or improving the motor skills of the individual, can provide psychosocial benefi ts. Objective: examine the infl uence of the physical therapy group in balance, functional mobility and quality of life of individuals with PD. Method: participated in this study 04 subjects were female, mean age 67.75 (± 9.5) years, with medical diagnosis of PD, stages 1 to 3 of the Hoehn & Yahr. Before starting treatment, subjects underwent an assessment of the balance (BBS), functional mobility (TUG) and the quality of life (PDQ-39).The treatment was performed in groups, for a period of 10 weeks, lasting 60 minutes each session twice a week, totaling 20 sessions of physiotherapy. Upon completion of the treatment period the subjects were again assessed for balance, functional mobility and quality of life. The data were analyzed using the Student t-test, with signifi cance level of 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Results: statistical analysis showed signifi cant differences in three variables: equilibrium (p = 0.010), functional mobility (p = 0.029) and quality of life (p = 0.004), after physiotherapy intervention. Conclusion: physiotherapy treatment was group provides better balance, functional mobility and quality of life of patients with PD.

Equilíbrio funcional em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson e sua relação com a qualidade de vida

Introduction: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is characterized by a set of four motor symptoms: tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. These defi cits may predispose individuals to limitations resulting from falls and their secondary consequences. Objective: To evaluate the functional balance and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with PD and determine whether there is correlation between performance on tests of balance with the QoL. Method: The project was referred to the Ethics Committee in Research of Universidade Estadual Paulista “Julio de Mesquita Filho” Campus de Marília and was approved under protocol number 1806/09. Participated in this study with individuals diagnosed with PD between levels one and four in the Hoen and Yahr scale. The subjects were evaluated according to functional balance and QoL, respectively by the instruments: Functional Balance Scale Berg (EEFB), Time Up and Go test (TUG), and Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39). To perform the statistical analysis used the GraphPad Prism 5. To perform the correlation analysis for the variables passed normality by the Shapiro-Wilk. Since the variables were non-parametric test was used Spearman. During the analysis the statistical signifi cance level was considered p ≤ 0, 05. Results: We studied 25 individuals aged between 54 and 85 years (71.20 ± 8.50), time of diagnosis between one and 39 years (6.54 ± 7.71) disease. Moderate correlation was found between the EEFB with QoL (r =- 0.6), and TUG with QoL (r = 0.6836). Among the aspects of QoL balance showed a higher correlation with the domains “mobility” (TUG r = 0, 6768; EEFB r = -0.6155) and “Activities of daily living” (TUG r = 0, 7357, and EEFB r = -0.6521). Conclusion: Patients with Parkinson’s disease show defi cits in balance and QoL. The balance disorders have a high correlation among themselves and show how aspects of QoL.

Análise da qualidade de vida de pacientes com a doença de Charcot-Marie-Tooth tipo 1A

A doença de Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) é a mais freqüente das neuropatias hereditárias, mas a sua história natural é pouco conhecida. Apesar da maioria dos pacientes apresentarem uma evolução com características mais “benignas”, é associado à doença com um comprometimento funcional, o que pode ser acompanhado de limitações e incapacitações. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes afetados pela CMT1A. Considerando que a qualidade de vida pode sofrer influência de variáveis sócio-culturais, um estudo neste contexto mostra-se oportuno. Nenhum estudo de nosso conhecimento realizou tal avaliação no contexto brasileiro. Fizeram parte deste estudo pacientes com CMT decorrente da duplicação 17p11.2-p12 (CMT1A) que foram avaliados quanto ao comprometimento funcional por meio da aplicação do SF-36. Esse questionário é utilizado internacionalmente para aferir a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística. Como resultados não se observaram associações entre o gênero e os domínios avaliados para a qualidade de vida. Os dados obtidos revelaram que a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com CMT1A se mostrou comprometida principalmente quanto aos seus Aspectos Sociais (p = 0,02) e Aspectos emocionais (p = 0,04). Adicionalmente, houve uma tendência ao comprometimento da Capacidade Funcional (p = 0,08), sendo que os outros índices de avaliação de comprometimento físico se mostraram preservados. A presença ou ausência de ocupação parece influenciar os Aspectos Sociais apresentando uma tendência de diferença significativa (p = 0,07), possuindo o grupo com ocupação valores superiores. Apesar da CMT1A apresentar piora clínica ao longo dos anos, a idade mais avançada não implicou em uma pior percepção da qualidade de vida no grupo de pacientes estudados no presente trabalho...

In the study, these areas were related to the professional position, and shift work. There was a satisfactory quality of life in the study population in different areas of WHOQOL-BREF. There was no statistically significant changes in quality of life among the variables. It follows that the population presented data consistent with an adequate quality of life, thus making relevant to addressing the quality of life of nursing in a healthcare organization which has as fundamental to the pursuit of quality through the accreditation process second hospital established by the National Accreditation Organization (ONA) that aims at establishing and implementing a process of improving health care, thereby stimulating the services to achieve higher standards of quality

Fatores que influenciam a qualidade de vida de pessoas com epilepsia

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder that impairs life quality (LQ) and interferes in emotional, personal, social and family relationship aspects. This study evaluated 165 people with epilepsy diagnosis, ranging from 18 to 75 years old (M=41,28; SD= 13,26), by means of the QQV-65 (Life Quality Questionnaire with 65 questions) and investigated the association between the questionnaire scores and the disease features, comparing patients who showed refrectory seizures with patients with partially controled seizures. There was no difference in relation to the two groups regarding the LQ factor. The QQV-65 emotional factor was the most affected in both groups, since the estimated mean z-escore was 51,0±14,4 for Group I and 49,9±14,7 for Group II. Regarding the type of crisis, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that Health was the only factor in QQV-65 that showed a statistically significant difference between the z-scores (P = 0.024). However, for the frequency of epileptic seizures, except Health (P = 0.185), other factors QQV-65 proved to be related in a statistically significant way (P> 0.05). The research demonstrated that seizure control perception is quite important in the evaluation of life quality in all its aspects (health, body, society, emotion, locus of control, self-concept and cognition).

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) com os distúrbios osteomusculares (DORT) entre profissionais de enfermagem que trabalham em bloco cirúrgico. MÉTODOS: Estudo de abordagem quantitativa, descritivo, transversal e correlacional, do qual participaram 211 trabalhadores de Enfermagem de 11 hospitais de Londrina-PR, Brasil. Para coleta de dados, foram utilizados três instrumentos: caracterização sociodemográfica e profissional, Escala Visual Analógica e o Questionário Nórdico. RESULTADOS: A maioria dos participantes era de auxiliares de enfermagem (62,6%), do sexo feminino (87,1%), casados (54,5%), com idade média de 40 anos. Dentre os participantes, 38,9% apresentavam queixas osteomusculares na região inferior das costas e 37,9%, na região dos ombros. Neste estudo, a QVT obteve associação estatisticamente significante com os distúrbios osteomusculares na região lombar e dos ombros nos últimos 12 meses (p=0,00). CONCLUSÃO: A ausência de lombalgia contribuiu significativamente para elevar a medida de QVT (p=0,010), embora o modelo final de regressão tenha explicado, apenas 22,6% da variância da medida de QVT.

QUALIDADE DE VIDA E STRESS DE CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES COM CÂNCER EM ESTÁGIO DE REMISSÃO E RECIDIVA

O câncer em crianças até cerca de duas décadas, era considerado uma doença crônica, com prognóstico desfavorável, resultando na maioria dos casos, em morte. Atualmente, tem-se apresentado como uma doença com melhores perspectivas, onde 70% das crianças acometidas por essa doença podem ser curadas, quando diagnosticadas precocemente, e tratadas em centros especializados¹. Este estudo teve como objetivo, avaliar a qualidade de vida e o stress de crianças e adolescentes com câncer, em remissão e recidiva. Trata-se de um estudo correlacional, quali-quantitativo, transversal. Foi desenvolvido no ambulatório de oncologia pediátrica da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC, e na enfermaria do Hospital Mário Covas. Contou com a colaboração de 40 sujeitos, com idades entre 06 a 14 anos, de ambos os sexos. Como instrumento para medir a qualidade de vida, foi utilizado o Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-PF50), que possui 15 conceitos em saúde, abrangendo aspectos físicos e psicossociais e para medir o stress, a Escala de Stress Infantil (ESI), que tem como objetivo, avaliar o stress da criança, através de reações físicas e psicológicas. Os resultados indicaram que no domínio físico (PhS), as crianças em situação clínica de recidiva e remissão não apresentam diferenças significativas em relação às variáveis: qualidade de vida e stress, porém, no domínio psicossocial (PsS), houve diferença estatisticamente significante, indicando que os meninos apresentam melhor qualidade de vida e menor stress, se comparados com as meninas, mostrando que o emocional interfere nesse resultado.(AU)
