RESUMO

Objective: To describe the quality of clinical records of deliveries and births by quantitative assessing the unfilled variables in birth data collection forms and their implications at Maternity Hospital, in the municipality of Lubango, Angola. Method: The study was conducted from January to August 2018. It adopted a quantitative research design, analysed variables not filled in a total of 202 birth record forms collected for 3 months (secondary data). Results: The findings revealed that 80% of the sections of the entire set of information about obstetrical history were not filled in. This occurred with a relatively high frequency resulting in some of the relevant variables being left blank, such as antenatal diagnosis (94%) and the number of last menstruation (91%). Conclusions: The rate of missing fundamental information from the clinical birth record are high. This result has important implications in evaluating the quality of data and may, consequently, jeopardize: 1) the evaluation of the prenatal assistance, 2) the clinical assistance at delivery, and 3) decision-making for preventive and intervening procedures.

Objetivo: Describir la calidad de los registros clínicos de partos y nacimientos mediante la evaluación cuantitativa de las variables no cumplimentadas en los formularios de recolección de datos de nacimiento y sus implicaciones en el Hospital de Maternidad de Lubango, Angola. Método: El estudio se realizó de enero a agosto de 2018. Adoptó un diseño de investigación cuantitativa y analizó variables no cumplimentadas en un total de 202 registros de nacimiento recolectados durante 3 meses (datos secundarios). Resultados: Los hallazgos revelaron que el 80% de las secciones de todo el conjunto de información sobre la historia obstétrica no se completaron. Esto ocurrió con una frecuencia relativamente alta, lo que provocó que algunas de las variables relevantes se dejaran en blanco, como el diagnóstico prenatal (94%) y el número de la última menstruación (91%). Conclusiones: La tasa de falta de información fundamental en el registro clínico de nacimientos es alta. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones importantes en la evaluación de la calidad de los datos y, en consecuencia, pueden poner en peligro: 1) la evaluación de la asistencia prenatal, 2) la asistencia clínica al parto y 3) la toma de decisiones para los procedimientos preventivos e intervinientes.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: In Africa, few studies of sensitisation profiles have been performed in children or adolescents and, in Angola, there are none. The objectives of the present study were to assess the sensitisation profile of Angolan schoolchildren and to determine the relationship between that pattern, sociodemographic factors, asthma and other allergic diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional, observational study in 5-14-year-old children, performed between September and November 2017, in the Province of Bengo, Angola. Five schools (15%) were randomly selected in the geographical area of the study: three from an urban area, and two from a rural area. Data were collected using the Portuguese versions of the ISAAC questionnaires for children and adolescents, regarding asthma, rhinitis and eczema. Skin prick tests (SPT) were performed with a battery of 12 aeroallergens. Stools were assessed for the presence of helminths. Descriptive statistics were used, as well as univariate calculation of odds ratios. RESULTS: Sensitisation to aeroallergens was low (8%) and most sensitised children were asymptomatic. Most frequent sensitisations involved house dust mites, cockroach or fungi, and a high proportion of children (78.1%) were monosensitised. No relationship was detected between sensitisations and asthma, rhinitis or eczema. Place of residence, gender, age or helminthic infection did not affect the probability of having positive SPTs. CONCLUSIONS: The most frequent sensitisations in children from Bengo Province in Angola involve house dust mites, followed by cockroach and fungi. No relationship was found between atopic sensitisation and asthma or other allergic diseases

RESUMO

Background: Epidemiological data have shown that the prevalence of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema in children is still increasing, namely in Africa. However, there are no epidemiological studies on asthma or allergic diseases in Angolan children. Objective: To study the prevalence of asthma and other allergic diseases in Angolan children. Methods: Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, using the ISAAC study methodology, in the province of Luanda, Angola in 6-7-year-old children. Forty-six (8.3%) public schools were randomly selected. Data were analysed using the SPSS Statistics version 24.0 software. Results: A total of 3080 children were studied. Results showed that the prevalence of asthma (wheezing in the previous 12 months) was 15.8%, that of rhinitis (sneezing, runny or blocked nose in the previous 12 months) was 19%, and that of eczema (itchy skin lesions in the previous 12 months) was 22%, without differences between sexes. Rhinitis was associated with a higher number of episodes of wheezing episodes, disturbed sleep and night cough, in children with asthma. Rhinitis, eczema, Split-type air conditioning system, antibiotic intake in the child's first year of life, frequent intake (more than once per month) of paracetamol and active maternal smoking were associated with a higher risk of having asthma, whereas electrical cooking was associated with a protective effect. Conclusion: Asthma and allergic diseases are highly prevalent in children from Luanda. A strategy for preventive and control measures should be implemented

RESUMO

O estudo teve como objetivo descrever o panorama histórico das políticas públicas voltadas à saúde da mulher em Angola. Trata-se de pesquisa sob perspectiva histórica, utilizando a análise documental e análise categorial de fontes históricas oficiais, provenientes do Ministério da Saúde e Direção Nacional de Saúde Pública, de Angola, e do site oficial da Organização Mundial da Saúde, no período de 1975 a 2012. O corpus documental foi constituído por 12 documentos. Observou-se que as políticas de saúde da mulher se misturam com as políticas de saúde para a população, tendo sido formuladas com investimentos internacionais e fortemente influenciadas pela conjuntura mundial no período. Foram observadas dificuldades para a completa implementação das ações previstas. Concluiu-se que, apesar dos esforços realizados, o desafio de Angola continua sendo a melhoria da prestação de cuidados à saúde da mulher e o aumento do acesso a serviços de qualidade a toda população

RESUMO

The self-determination theory is one of the most popular theories on motivation. It postulates that three basic needs mediate humans' proactivity and involvement: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Among the measurement instruments addressing these needs, the Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPN) has been recently presented. This research aims to study the dimensionality of the BMPN, in its Portuguese and Spanish versions. Samples of 2034 and 715 students were recruited from high school classes in Angola and the Dominican Republic, respectively. The better-fitting model for the Portuguese and Spanish versions of the BMPN scale was the one posing a method artifact. This evidence, together with lower factor loadings, problems with reliability, and poorer nomological validity for the negatively worded items, moved us to propose a positive version of the BMPN, with better psychometric properties. Our results support latest research criticism on the harmful effects of including negatively worded items in scale development


La teoría de la autodeterminación es una de las más populares en motivación. Postula que tres necesidades básicas median la proactividad y el compromiso de las personas: autonomía, competencia y relación. De entre los instrumentos de medida que evalúan estas necesidades, la "Medida balanceada de necesidades psicológicas" (Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs, BMPN) se ha presentado recientemente. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar la dimensionalidad de la BMPN, en sus versiones portuguesa y española. Se recogieron muestras de 2034 y 715 estudiantes en clases de instituto en Angola y República Dominicana, respectivamente. El modelo que mejor ajustó en las versiones portuguesa y española de la escala BMPN fue el que incluyó un factor de método. Esta evidencia, junto con las bajas saturaciones factoriales, problemas con la fiabilidad y una pobre validez nomológica para los ítems invertidos, nos llevó a proponer una versión positiva de la BMPN, con mejores propiedades psicométricas. Nuestros resultados apoyan las críticas que investigaciones recientes hacen sobre los efectos dañinos de incluir ítems invertidos en el desarrollo de escalas

RESUMO

Existe abundante investigación que ha estudiado la satisfacción vital en personas mayores y ha encontrado evidencia empírica de sus mejores predictores. Cuando se estudia la satisfacción con la vida de las personas mayores y sus predictores se hallan diferencias en función del género incluyendo, por ejemplo, las interacciones con la viudedad. En este contexto, el presente estudio se ha centrado en los siguientes objetivos: (1) poner a prueba la invarianza en función del género de una medida de satisfacción con la vida, (2) predecir la satisfacción vital usando varias variables relacionadas con el proceso de envejecimiento y (3) poner a prueba el potencial efecto moderador del género en esta predicción. La muestra estaba compuesta por 1003 personas mayores angoleñas. Se probaron varios modelos estructurales MIMIC multi-grupo (hombres vs. mujeres). Por un lado, los resultados mostraron que existe invarianza en función del género para la medida de satisfacción vital. Por otro lado, no se encontró efecto de moderación en las variables relacionadas con el proceso de envejecimiento. En otras palabras, los efectos estimados de las variables psicosociales en la satisfacción con la vida son los mismos en ambos géneros. La discusión relaciona estos resultados con la literatura existente y señala las contribuciones de este estudio


A considerable amount of research has been done to explain life satisfaction in the elderly, and there is growing empirical evidence on the best predictors of life satisfaction. When studying elderly's life satisfaction and its predictors, gender differences have been found in several studies, including significant interactions with widowhood, for example. In this context, the present study aims were: (1) to test for the gender invariance in a life satisfaction measure; (2) to predict life satisfaction using several variables related to the aging process; and (3) to test the potential moderator effects due to gender in this prediction. Participants were 1003 Angolan elderly. Several multi-group (men vs. women) MIMIC structural models were tested. First, results showed that there is gender invariance for the measurement of life satisfaction. Second, results found no moderation effects on key variables of the aging process. In other words, the estimated effects of psychosocial variables on life satisfaction remain the same for both genders. The discussion relates these results to the existing literature and posits the contributions of the study

RESUMO

Entre Octubre del 2004 y Septiembre del 2005 Angola vivió un brote epidémico de fiebre hemorrágica debida al virus Marburg. La epidemia se dio por oficialmente por concluida el 7 de Noviembre del 2005, y se consideró la más grave de las ocurridas en todo el mundo, con 252 casos y 227 muertes, lo que suponía una tasa de mortalidad del 90%. Considerando que es un agente patógeno de gran virulencia para el cual no hay vacunas o tratamiento específico, estas epidemias precisan de una enorme cantidad de recursos humanos, financieros y técnicos tanto nacionales como internacionales Es importante poner de manifiesto que el laboratorio del Center for Diseases Control de Atlanta fue el responsable del primer aislamiento del virus y de su identificación como causante de la epidemia. Posteriormente fue el encargado de monitorizar la epidemia y estudiar todas las muestras biológicas recogidas de los casos sospechosos. Hasta este momento ha sido imposible identificar el foco primario de la enfermedad, aunque existen sugerencias a nivel local sobre la posibilidad de que el hospital provincial de UIge haya sido el sitio inicial y responsable de la diseminación de la epidemia a través de la infección nosocomial. En una segunda fase la ausencia de una adecuada educación para la salud, el pánico y las tradiciones culturales locales fueron los elementos cruciales para la diseminación de la enfermedad a otras provincias del país. En este contexto, la participación de sociólogos y antropólogos fue un factor clave para el control de las epidemias, en paralelo a las medidas de bioseguridad y detección activa emprendidas (AU)


Angola has lived an epidemic outbreak of hemorrhagic fever caused by Marburg virus between October 2004 and September 2005. The epidemic was officially terminated in November 7th 2005, and considered the most severe ever occurred in the world, with 252 cases and 227 deaths, with a lethality rate of 90%. Considering that it is a pathogenic agent of great virulence for which there are no vaccines or specific treatment, these epidemics caused a huge recruitment of national and international human, financial and technical resources despite some local constraints. It must be outlined that CDC-Atlanta laboratory was the responsible for the first isolation of the virus as the cause of the epidemics, and later on, for monitoring the epidemics and manipulating all biological samples collected from suspected patients. Until now it was impossible to identify the primary focus of the disease, though there are suggestions from local oral comments that Uige provincial hospital may have been the initial site and responsible for the dissemination of the epidemics through nosocomial infection. In a second phase, lack of proper health education, panic and local cultural traditions were the crucial elements for disease spread to other provinces of the country. In this context, the participation of sociologist and anthropologists was a key factor for the epidemics control, in parallel with the biosafety and active survey measures undertaken (AU)
