Abstract Objective: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with poor self-rated health according to respondents' sex in Manaus, Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional population-based study with adults in Manaus in 2019. Adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using Poisson regression following a hierarchical model. Results: Poor self-rated health occurred in 35.2% (95%CI 33.3;37.2) of the 2,321 participants and was higher in females (PR = 1.27; 95%CI 1.13;1.43). In the general population, among both sexes, poor self-rated health was higher among the oldest, those with moderate and severe food insecurity and with chronic diseases (p-value < 0.05). Among females, poor health was also higher among the evangelical and those with mild food insecurity. Among males, self-rated health was also poorer among the retired and those with education below elementary level (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion: The female sex had the poorest health rating, influenced by morbidity and access to food.

Skarzynski Tinnitus Scale: Cultural Adaptation and Validation to Brazilian Portuguese

Abstract Introduction Tinnitus is a prevalent condition among many different populations. Since tinnitus is subjective, self-report questionnaires are one way of assessing how much the condition interferes with the quality of life of an individual. Objective The aim of the present study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Skarzynski Tinnitus Scale (STS) into Brazilian Portuguese and validate its psychometric properties. Methods The STS was translated and cross-culturally adapted using five main steps. Fifty-eight individuals who had continuous tinnitus were invited to complete the questionnaire. Pure tone audiometry (air and bone conduction) were also done. Results No major changes were necessary in translating the scale. The overall score was 1.3 (range 0-4). Internal consistency was tested by Cronbach α, which ranged from 0.54 to 0.85. Differences between genders and between subscales and the total score were not significant. A statistically significant difference was only found in the coping subscale, in which normal hearing subjects had higher scores than those with hearing loss. Conclusion The translation and adaptation of the STS established linguistic and cultural equivalence with the original. In addition, it exhibited good internal consistency. Our results suggest that the STS is suitable for use in a clinical setting.

Core Competencies Self-Assessment and Patient-Practitioner Orientation during the First Year of a Brazilian Orthopedic Residency / Autoavaliação de competências fundamentais e orientação médico durante o primeiro ano de residência ortopédica brasileira

Abstract Objective Training a competent physician requires to direct the resident profile of graduate students for practice activities. We sought to identify the doctor-patient relationship orientation and the self-assessment of the core competencies, which they pointed out needed to be developed. Methods All 56 orthopedic residents admitted between 2016 and 2019 participated in the present prospective observational study. The Patient Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) and a self-assessment questionnaire were answered at the beginning and end of the first year of residency (R1) in Orthopedics and Traumatology. We calculated mean and standard deviation for PPOS items and scores and analyzed them through the paired t-test. Self-Assessment Questionnaire answer options were "yes" or "I need to improve it" and skills were classified in decreasing order of the frequency of "I need to improve it" responses with description of absolute number and percentage. We compared frequencies using Fisher Test. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. GraphPad Prism 8.4.3 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA) and Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA) were used for statistical analysis. Results In the period between the beginning and the end of R1, the total PPOS mean score significantly decreased from 4.63 to 4.50 (p= 0.024), more biomedical-focused. Around one-third of the residents identified competencies of patient care, practice-based learning and improvement, and interpersonal and communication skills as needed to improve. Conclusions The PPOS and self-assessment activities could promote reflection practices and are possible tools for learner-centered competency assessment. Biomedical guidance tends to prevail as the training of physicians progresses, and periodic self-assessments can be worked on to build a growth mindset.

Resumo Objetivo A formação de um médico competente requer direcionar o perfil de pós-graduação residente para atividades práticas. Buscou-se identificar a orientação de relacionamento médico-paciente e a autoavaliação das competências fundamentais que eles apontaram que precisavam ser desenvolvidas. Métodos Todos os 56 residentes em ortopedia admitidos entre 2016 e 2019 participaram do presente estudo observacional prospectivo. A Escala de Orientação Médico-Paciente (Patient Practitioner Orientation Scale [PPOS, na sigla em inglês]) e um questionário de autoavaliação foram respondidos no início e no final do primeiro ano de residência (R1) em Ortopedia e Traumatologia. Calculamos o desvio médio e padrão para itens e pontuações de PPOS e os analisamos através do teste t emparelhado. As opções de resposta do Questionário de Autoavaliação foram "sim" ou "preciso melhorar" e as habilidades foram classificadas na ordem decrescente da frequência das respostas "preciso melhorar" com descrição de número absoluto e percentual. Comparamos frequências usando o teste de Fisher. Consideramos significativos valores-p < 0,05. Os programas GraphPad Prism 8.4.3 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, EUA) e Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, EUA) foram utilizados para análise estatística. Resultados No período entre o início e o final do R1, a média total de PPOS diminuiu significativamente, de 4,63 para 4,50 (p= 0,024), mais focada em biomédica. Cerca de um terço dos residentes identificou competências do cuidado ao paciente, aprendizagem e melhoria baseadas na prática e habilidades interpessoais e de comunicação, como necessitando melhorar. Conclusões As atividades de PPOS e autoavaliação podem promover práticas de reflexão e são possíveis ferramentas para avaliação de competência centrada no aluno. A orientação biomédica tende a prevalecer à medida que a formação dos médicos progride e as autoavaliações periódicas podem ser trabalhadas para construir uma mentalidade de crescimento.

Modified Pediatric Penile Perception Scale to Evaluate Cosmetic Outcome in Children With Hypospadias Repair

Objectives: To compare the interpretation for cosmesis post-hypospadias repair by child, parents and surgeons using modified Pediatric Penile Perception Scale (PPPS). Methods: This cross-sectional study involving 50 children (aged 2 to 17 years) with hypospadias was conducted at the pediatric surgery department of our public sector tertiary care hospital. Subjects were assessed 6 months after completion of all stages of hypospadias repair. Cosmetic assessment was done using modified PPPS. We clubbed together the variables ‘meatus’ and ‘glans’ as MG (meatus-glans) complex due to their extreme proximity (embedding), while cosmesis of phallus was considered independently. The modified PPPS scoring parameters included phallus, MG complex, shaft skin, and general appearance. Independent assessment by surgeon, patients and parents was compared, and analyzed using SAS 9.2 statistical software. Cosmetic results of single vs staged repair, and different repair types was compared. Results: Assessment using modified PPPS showed that MG complex cosmesis and skin scarring were the most heeded parameters by all three categories of observers. PPPS by surgeons remained least affected by phallic cosmesis and that of the patient by the overall phallic appearance. Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) scored better on cosmesis. Conclusion: Phallic cosmesis should be considered an independent variable for assessing cosmetic outcome of hypospadias, apart from MG cosmesis.

Validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology and Self-Report (QIDS-SR16) for the Brazilian population

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QID-SR16), a self-report instrument based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) criteria that assesses the severity of depression symptoms, in the Brazilian population. Methods Participants were 4,400 Brazilians over the age of 15 years recruited for an online survey assessing depressive symptoms during the early phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Brazil. The internal consistency, construct validity, and convergent and discriminant validity of the QIDS-SR16 were evaluated. Results The model tested was considered an adequate fit to the data (comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.947, Tucker-Lewis index [TLI] = 0.927, and root-mean-square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.051) and its internal consistency was good, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.71 and an average item correlation of 0.23. The correlations between the total QIDS-SR16 score and the total scores of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) instruments (r = 0.67, p < 0.001), the Posttraumatic Symptoms Checklist (PCL-5) (r = 0.61, p < 0.001), and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) (r = 0.60, p < 0.001) indicate good concurrent and convergent validity. Conclusion The QIDS-SR16 has robust psychometric properties in terms of its internal consistency, construct validity, and convergent and discriminant validity. The Portuguese version of the QIDS-SR16 is an adequate instrument for assessment of depressive symptoms in the context of an online survey.

Methods Intervention study before and after with 20 individuals, mean age 46 years, evaluated before surgery (M1), immediately after surgery (M2) and in the late postoperative period (M3) of thyroidectomy. Individuals answered the instruments: Voice Symptoms Scale, Vocal Fatigue Index and Thyroidectomy-Related Voice and Symptom Questionnaire. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results In self-assessment of vocal symptoms of the total domains and limitation, M1 (p<0.001; p<0.001, respectively) and M3 (p=0.013; p=0.001, respectively) had significantly lower values than the M2. For the physical domain of self-assessment of vocal symptoms, the M3 showed statistically lower values than the M1 (p=0.006) and the M2 (p<0.001) assessments. Depending on the moment, the oropharyngolaryngeal symptoms in M3 had significantly lower values ​​than M2 (p=0.004) and M1 (p=0.028). Male scores were significantly lower than female scores in the self-assessment of fatigue symptoms in the fatigue and vocal limitation domain (p=0.035), regardless of the time of assessment. Conclusion Physical vocal symptoms and thyroidectomy-related symptoms decrease in the late postoperative period; total vocal symptoms and limitation increasing in the immediate postoperative period and decrease in the late postoperative period. Women have a higher perception of vocal fatigue and limitation, and of total and vocal symptoms related to thyroidectomy.

Analysis of Undergraduate Dental Students’ Self-Assessment and Faculty Assessment of Students’ Structured Seminar Presentation in Clinical Oral Medicine

@#Introduction: Continuing Education skills will be accomplished when the student is able to direct their own learning needs, by exposing themselves to the art of unswerving assessment of their own learning methods. The aim of this study was to investigate whether self-assessment of student led seminar presentation in a clinical oral medicine topic by undergraduate dental students could be related with faculty assessment. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done among year four undergraduate dental students. The students and the faculty assessed the student`s seminar presentation based on structured rubrics, that were analysed and discussed together. Results: The paired differences with regards to both the assessments were analysed, the p- value was less than 0.05, suggesting that there was significant difference in the marks between student`s and faculty`s assessments and that the students gave more grades to themselves when compared with the faculty. There was no statistical difference in assessment among male and female students. There was considerable difference between the two assessment mean scores among the low achiever group of students. Conclusion: Dental students generally overrated themselves and there was a definite gap between faculty and student assessment which could be bridged through organised and thoughtful training.

Development of a self-assessment questionnaire of abnormal menstruation and evaluation of its reliability and validity / 上海预防医学

ObjectiveTo develop a self-assessment questionnaire for menstrual abnormalities and test its reliability and validity. To provide an assessment tool for self-identification of abnormal menstruation in young women and to investigate the health seeking situation of abnormal menstruation in the population. MethodsFifteen physicians with clinical experience were invited to participate in the Delphi expert consultations. Medical indications for menstrual abnormalities were constructed and questionnaires were formed based on domestic and international literature， expert meetings and 2 rounds of Delphi expert consultations. A whole-group sampling was used to select 923 female college students from a medical school in Shanghai for the survey， and 306 of them were retested. The internal consistency， retest correlation， researcher-investigator evaluation correlation， and structural and response validity of the questionnaire were examined. ResultsThe questionnaire formed 6 dimensions with 17 indications. The positive coefficients for the two rounds of consulting experts were >90%. The mean authority coefficient was 0.857. The Kendall W coordination coefficient was 0.465 and 0.455， respectively （P<0.001）. The questionnaire Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.622. The retest correlation coefficient was 0.459. The correlation coefficient between the researcher's score and the respondents' self-assessment was 0.562. The five common factors extracted by factor analysis were consistent with the structure of the questionnaire， and the cumulative contribution of variance was 54.4%. Total questionnaire scores were moderately to highly correlated with each dimension score （0.409 to 0.699）. There was low correlation between the dimensions （-0.002 to 0.203）. Girls who had sought medical care had higher scores on the total questionnaire， category A， category B， cycle dimension， menstrual dimension， and dysmenorrhea/PMS dimension than girls who had not sought medical care （P<0.01）， and the difference between the two groups in menstrual volume dimension scores was not statistically significant. ConclusionThe self-assessment questionnaire for menstrual abnormalities developed in this study has acceptable reliability， good structure validity and response validity. It can provide a self-examination tool and medical consultation guidance for young women with abnormal menstruation.

Effect of smart air cell mattress on sleep quality / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of smart air cell mattresses on sleep quality.Methods:Twenty healthy young people were enrolled as subjects, and each subject underwent a four-night polysomnographic monitoring experiment, including two nights each on a smart air cell mattress and a general mattress. The differences in sleep quality were compared by self-assessment of sleep quality, objective sleep indicators, and electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral analysis.Results:In the comparison between the smart air cell mattress and the general mattress, the differences in self-assessment of sleep quality and objective sleep indicators were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05), but the smart air cell mattress had a slight overall advantage. The relative power of EEG in the low-frequency band and the relative power of EEG in the high-frequency band were higher in the subjects with the smart air cell mattress. Conclusions:For the healthy young population, the smart air cell mattress can positively influence sleep quality to some extent, and the change in EEG relative power indicates an increase in sleep depth.

Fatores associados à autoavaliação de saúde bucal por adultos em hemodiálise / Factors associated with self-rated oral health in adults with hemodialysis

Resumo Introdução Pacientes com insuficiência renal crônica podem apresentar prejuízos em sua saúde bucal em decorrência da própria doença, do tratamento e das alterações de estilo de vida associadas. Objetivo Avaliar os fatores associados à autoavaliação de saúde bucal ruim entre adultos com insuficiência renal crônica submetidos à hemodiálise. Método Estudo transversal com 243 adultos submetidos à hemodiálise em um hospital do sul de Minas Gerais nos anos de 2013 e 2014. O desfecho foi avaliado pelo autorrelato da condição bucal dicotomizada em boa (ótima/boa) e ruim (regular/ruim/péssima). As variáveis independentes incluíram condições sociodemográficas, saúde geral, saúde bucal e uso de serviços odontológicos, a partir de informações coletadas por meio de questionário. A associação entre o desfecho e as variáveis independentes foi testada por meio de modelos logísticos múltiplos com inclusão hierarquizada de variáveis. Resultados A prevalência de autoavaliação de saúde bucal ruim foi de 35,4%. Os mais jovens (p = 0,015), os que se submetem à hemodiálise há menos tempo (p = 0,016), têm halitose (p <0,001), necessitam de tratamento odontológico (p <0,001) e tiveram a última consulta odontológica por motivo diferente de dor (p = 0,027) expressaram maiores chances de autoavaliação de saúde bucal ruim, independentemente de condições sociodemográficas e de saúde. Conclusão Condições sociodemográficas, tempo em hemodiálise, agravos à saúde bucal e uso de serviços odontológicos influenciaram a autoavaliação da saúde bucal dos adultos submetidos à hemodiálise.

Abstract Background Patients with chronic renal failure may have their oral health impaired as a result of the disease itself, its treatment, and its associated lifestyle alterations. Objective To assess the factors associated with poor self-rated oral health among adults with chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis. Method This is a cross-sectional study with 243 adults undergoing hemodialysis in a hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil in 2013-2014. The outcome was assessed by the self-report of oral health categorized into good (excellent/good) and bad (fair/bad / very bad). The independent variables included sociodemographic conditions, general health, oral health, and the use of dental services were collected through a structured questionnaire. The association between the outcome and the independent variables was tested using multiple logistic models with hierarchical inclusion of variables. Results The prevalence of poor self-rated oral health was 35.4%. The youngest (p = 0.015), those who have undergone hemodialysis in the shortest time (p = 0.016), have halitosis (p <0.001), need dental treatment (p <0.001), and had their last dental appointment not for pain (p = 0.027) expressed higher odds of poor self-rated oral health, independently of sociodemographic and health conditions. Conclusion Sociodemographic conditions, time on hemodialysis, oral impairments, and use of dental services affected the oral health self-assessment among adults undergoing hemodialysis.

Am I Exaggerating? An Affect Intensity Measure Adapted for the Brazilian Context / Eu Sou Mesmo Exagerado? Medida de Intensidade de Afetos Adaptada ao Contexto Brasileiro

Abstract The intensity of affect refers to the strength with which individuals experience their emotions. This study aimed to adapt and seek evidence of validity for the version of the Short Affect Intensity Scale (SAIS) for the Brazilian context. After translation procedures, the translated version of the SAIS was applied, along with instruments to measure personality and subjective well-being in 1,180 Brazilians. The results revealed the adequacy of the three-factor structure for the instrument: Positive Intensity, Negative Intensity, and Serenity. Correlations with other variables were verified as theoretically expected. For example, positive correlations were found between Positive Intensity and Extraversion and Positive Affect; Negative Intensity and Neuroticism, and Negative Affect. The instrument proved to be adequate for the Brazilian context.

Resumo A intensidade de afetos diz respeito à força com que indivíduos experienciam suas emoções. O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar e buscar evidências de validade da Short Affect Intensity Scale (SAIS) para o contexto brasileiro. Após procedimentos de tradução, aplicou-se a versão traduzida da SAIS, juntamente com instrumentos para aferir personalidade e bem-estar subjetivo em 1.180 brasileiros. Os resultados revelaram a adequação da estrutura de três fatores para o instrumento: Intensidade Positiva, Intensidade Negativa, Serenidade. Também se verificaram correlações com outras variáveis conforme esperado teoricamente. Por exemplo, encontraram-se correlações positivas entre Intensidade Positiva e Extroversão e Afeto Positivo; Intensidade Negativa e Neuroticismo e Afeto Negativo. O instrumento mostrou-se adequado ao contexto brasileiro.

Factors associated with negative self-rated health of middle-aged women / Factores asociados a la autoevaluación de salud negativa de mujeres de media edad / Fatores associados à autoavaliação da saúde negativa de mulheres de meia-idade

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate factors associated with negative self-rated health among middle-aged women treated at a climacteric outpatient clinic. Method: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study conducted with 116 women assisted in the period between March 2015 and March 2020 at the climacteric outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Cuiabá, MT, Brazil. Data were collected through telephone interviews from October 2020 to January 2021, using a questionnaire containing questions about sociodemographic, health and psychosocial data. Self-rated health was checked by asking the subjects how they rated their health. The association measure used was the prevalence ratio and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Poisson's multiple regression was used in the multivariate analysis. Results: Most middle-aged women in this study (54.3%) had negative self-rated health. The factor associated with the outcome was menopausal symptoms (p< 0.001), identified in the severe menopausal symptoms category PR= 2.95 (95%CI 1.4-6.3). Conclusion: The higher prevalence of negative self-rated health among the women in this study is probably related to the life stage they are experiencing. Menopausal symptoms are associated with women's perception of health due to their discomfort and consequent impact on their lives.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar los factores asociados con la autopercepción de salud negativa entre mujeres de mediana edad atendidas en un ambulatorio de climaterio. Método: Estudio transversal, analítico, realizado con 116 mujeres atendidas en el período comprendido entre marzo de 2015 y marzo de 2020 en el ambulatorio de climaterio de un hospital universitario de Cuiabá-MT, Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas telefónicas, de octubre de 2020 a enero de 2021, utilizando un cuestionario que contenía preguntas sobre datos sociodemográficos, de salud y psicosociales. La salud autoevaluada se verificó preguntando cómo calificaron su salud. La medida de asociación utilizada fue la razón de prevalencia e intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC 95%). En el análisis multivariante se utilizó la regresión múltiple de Poisson. Resultados: La mayoría de las mujeres de mediana edad en este estudio (54,3%) tenían una autoevaluación de salud negativa. El factor asociado al desenlace fueron los síntomas menopáusicos (p< 0,001), identificados en la categoría síntomas menopáusicos severos PR= 2,95 (IC 95% 1,4-6,3). Conclusión: La mayor prevalencia de autoevaluación de salud negativa entre las mujeres de este estudio probablemente esté relacionada con la etapa de la vida en la que se encuentran. Los síntomas de la menopausia están asociados a la percepción de salud de la mujer por su malestar y consecuente impacto en su vida.

Política dos (des)afetos identitários: interface psicanalítica da democracia liberal e políticas públicas / Politics of identity (dis)affections: psychoanalytic-phenomenological interface of liberal democracy and public policies

RESUMO Este texto tem como objetivo refletir, teoricamente, sobre (des)afetos identitários nas democracias liberais, com seus reflexos na efetivação de políticas públicas, enquanto demandas humanas e sociais. A partir da perspectiva psicanalítica, sob o viés da filosofia fenomenológica de Paul Ricoeur, analisa como as sociedades modernas, movidas pela política do desamparo, ainda se mostram dependentes de um núcleo teológico-político, dentro de uma visão patriarcal-religiosa de mando à semelhança de uma autoridade onipotente. Diante disso, assinala a importância de (re)pensar a desconstrução desse modelo, trazendo a figura do sujeito capaz de falar, agir, narrar e se responsabilizar, como base para a consolidação do sujeito de direito, por considerar os possíveis impactos deletérios nas políticas públicas e suas legítimas demandas sociais, lastreadas no humanismo jurídico e nos direitos humanos. Essas políticas, pelo viés de uma psicologia crítica, ficam sob sérios riscos de desmonte dessas suas bases estruturantes, quando uma personalidade autoritária, narcísica e superegoica, movida por seus caprichos ideológicos, com a qual indivíduos alienados se identificam, ocupa o poder e se julga senhor de tudo aquilo que é bom ou mau para um povo, determinando o que será objeto de proteção de seu poder e o que não merece dele nenhuma atenção.

ABSTRACT This text aims to reflect, theoretically, on identity (dis)affections in liberal democracies, with its reflections on the implementation of public policies, as human and social demands. From the psychoanalytic perspective, under the bias of Paul Ricoeur's phenomenological philosophy, it analyzes how modern societies, driven by the politics of helplessness, are still dependent on a theological-political core, within a patriarchalreligious view of command in the likeness of an omnipotent authority. Therefore, it points out the importance of (re)thinking about the deconstruction of that model, bringing the figure of the subject capable of speaking, acting, narrating, and taking responsibility as a basis for the consolidation of the subject of right, considering the possible deleterious impacts on public policies and their legitimate social demands, based on legal humanism and human rights. These policies, by the bias of a critical psychology, are under serious risks of dismantling these structuring bases, when an authoritarian, narcisic, and superegoic personality, moved by their ideological whims, with which alienated individuals identify themselves, occupies power and considers themselves master of all that is good or bad for a people, determining what shall be protected by their power and what deserves no attention from it.
