ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The All of Us Research Program is building a national longitudinal cohort and collecting data from multiple information sources (e.g., biospecimens, electronic health records, and mobile/wearable technologies) to advance precision medicine. Participant-provided information, collected via surveys, will complement and augment these information sources. We report the process used to develop and refine the initial three surveys for this program. METHODS: The All of Us survey development process included: (1) prioritization of domains for scientific needs, (2) examination of existing validated instruments, (3) content creation, (4) evaluation and refinement via cognitive interviews and online testing, (5) content review by key stakeholders, and (6) launch in the All of Us electronic participant portal. All content was translated into Spanish. RESULTS: We conducted cognitive interviews in English and Spanish with 169 participants, and 573 individuals completed online testing. Feedback led to over 40 item content changes. Lessons learned included: (1) validated survey instruments performed well in diverse populations reflective of All of Us; (2) parallel evaluation of multiple languages can ensure optimal survey deployment; (3) recruitment challenges in diverse populations required multiple strategies; and (4) key stakeholders improved integration of surveys into larger Program context. CONCLUSIONS: This efficient, iterative process led to successful testing, refinement, and launch of three All of Us surveys. Reuse of All of Us surveys, available at http://researchallofus.org, may facilitate large consortia targeting diverse populations in English and Spanish to capture participant-provided information to supplement other data, such as genetic, physical measurements, or data from electronic health records.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pharmacotherapy is the main therapeutic resource for the management of diseases. However, the number of drugs prescribed, dose frequency, and mode of administration can make the treatment more complex and influence treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to measure the complexity of prescribed medication regimens in primary health care (PHC) services in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1,009 participants: 889 from primary health units and 120 from family health units in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Treatment complexity was assessed using the Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI). Results: MRCI mean scores were 12.5 points (SD = 9.3) and dose frequency was the major contributor to increase the score. The complexity of pharmacotherapy showed a significant correlation with the number of prescribed medications (r = 0.93, p < 0.01), but not with patients' age (r = 0.28, p < 0.01). There is also no difference in complexity between the sexes (p = 0.83) and the types of primary health care service (p = 0.31). An analysis of variance revealed that patients with lower levels of education receive more complex prescriptions (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The pharmacotherapy prescribed in PHC services from Ribeirão Preto, Brazil is complex, and there is a need to concentrate efforts and adopt strategies to simplify drug prescription without compromising patient's clinical status.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Este estudo transversal visa analisar comparativamente as prescrições de medicamentos provenientes da atenção básica tradicional (Unidades Básicas de Saúde - UBS) com as da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF). Métodos: Foram incluídas 1053 prescrições, alocadas em dois grupos: 932 provenientes de UBS e 121 da ESF. Tais prescrições foram analisadas de acordo com a adequação aos itens legalmente exigidos e aos indicadores de qualidade (presença de antimicrobianos, presença de injetáveis, uso da denominação oficial, uso da relação de medicamentos essenciais, média de medicamentos prescritos). Resultados: As prescrições da ESF se mostraram estatisticamente mais completas quanto à presença do endereço do prescritor (82,6% UBS, 96,7% ESF), à ausência de rasuras (90,3% UBS, 96,7% ESF) e ao cumprimento dos aspectos legais exigidos referentes ao uso do medicamento, sendo eles: forma farmacêutica (70,7% UBS, 80,2% ESF), dose (70,9% UBS, 79,3% ESF), posologia (63,0% UBS, 75,2% ESF), via de administração (58,3% UBS, 83,5% ESF) e duração do tratamento (76,9% UBS, 92,6% ESF). Os resultados dos indicadores de qualidade da prescrição se aproximaram nos dois modelos de atenção básica e estão de acordo com os valores recomendados, com exceção da média de medicamentos prescritos, a qual evidenciou uma tendência à polifarmácia no município (3,9 medicamentos por prescrição na UBS e 3,5 na ESF). Conclusão: Apesar dos resultados revelarem práticas inapropriadas na prescrição de medicamentos na Atenção Primária como um todo, há evidências de que as prescrições da ESF estão mais próximas ao padrão ideal, o que pode favorecer o Uso Racional de Medicamentos.


Objective: This cross-sectional study aims to comparatively analyze drug prescriptions from the traditional basic health care service (Basic Health Units - BHU) with those from Family Health Strategy (FHS). Methods: A total of 1053 prescriptions were included, allocated in two groups: 932 from BHU and 121 from FHS. These prescriptions were analyzed according with compliance to legally required items and quality indicators (presence of antimicrobials, presence of injectable, use of the official name, use of the list of essential drugs, average of drugs prescribed). Results: The ESF prescriptions were more complete regarding the presence of the prescriber's address (82.6% BHU, 96.7% FHS), the absence of erasures and overwritten words (90.3% BHU, 96.7% FHS) and with compliance to legally required items related to use of drugs, being: pharmaceutical form (70.7% BHU, 80.2% FHS), dose (70.9% BHU, 79.3% FHS), posology (63.0% BHU, 75.2% FHS), administration route (58.3% BHU, 83.5% FHS) and time of therapy (76.9% BHU, 92.6% FHS). The results of the indicators of quality of prescription are approximated in both models of basic attention and according to the recommended values, with the exception of the average of drugs prescribed, which showed a tendency to polypharmacy at county (3.9 drugs per prescription at the BHU and 3.5 at the FHS). Conclusion: although the results reveal inappropriate practices in drug prescription at Primary Health Care services as a whole, there are evidence that prescriptions from FHS are closer to the ideal pattern, which may favor the Rational Use of Drugs.

Resultados: Las prescripciones de la ESF eran estadísticamente más completas debido a la presencia de la dirección del prescriptor (82,6% UBS, 96,7% ESF), en la ausencia de tachaduras (90,3% UBS, 96,7% ESF) y en el cumplimiento de los aspectos legales requeridos referentes al uso del medicamento, siendo ellos: forma farmacéutica (70,7% UBS, 80,2% ESF), dosis (70,9% UBS, 79,3% ESF), posología (63,0% UBS, 75,2% ESF), vía de administración (58,3% UBS, 83,5% ESF) y duración del tratamiento (76,9% UBS, 92,6% ESF). Los resultados de los indicadores de calidad de la prescripción fueron similares en los dos modelos de atención primaria y están de acuerdo con los valores recomendados, excepto el número medio de los medicamentos prescriptos, que mostró una tendencia a la polifarmacia en el municipio (3,9 medicamentos por prescripción en la UBS y 3,5 en la ESF). Conclusión: Aunque los resultados indican prácticas inadecuadas en la prescripción de medicamentos en atención primaria en general, existen evidencias de que las prescripciones de la ESF son más cercanas a los estándares, lo que puede favorecer el Uso Racional de Medicamentos.

ABSTRACT

There is growing evidence that yoga can be beneficial as an aspect of self-care for people with arthritis. However, yoga may be less acceptable to those from different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and racial/ethnic identities. While implementing a feasibility/acceptability pilot study of yoga as self-care in minority communities, the subject of spirituality surfaced. This commentary shares the experience of the researchers and yoga teachers collaborating on the study and the larger conversation that ensued following the withdrawal of one of the study participants. It is an attempt to start a relevant and needed dialogue around yoga research as an integrative health modality, and why the underlying body-mind-spirit approach to yoga may sometimes serve as a barrier to participation for diverse populations suffering from arthritis.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho analisa as relações entre os processos de investigação e de intervenção no campo comunitário, enfatizando duas questões centrais: a) se a investigação (pesquisa) deve conduzir a ações que também sejam comprometidas com a realidade e a transformação social; e b) se o processo de intervenção em comunidade gera conhecimentos socialmente relevantes. Para isso procede-se a uma reflexão sobre os dilemas e desafios éticos que estão presentes nas práticas comunitárias: a) relacionados às exigências metodológicas e de produção de conhecimento; b) ligados à "sensibilidade cotidiana e histórica". Indaga-se se a intervenção psicossocial capta os processos de participação e conscientização. Finaliza-se com uma exposição de aspectos importantes para a congruência metodológica e política entre intervenção e investigação psicossocial em comunidade, na perspectiva da Psicologia Social Comunitária Latino-Americana.


This paper analyzes the relationships between the processes of investigation and intervention in the community field, emphasizing two central questions: (a) if the investigation (research) should lead to actions that are also committed to reality and social change; and (b) if the community intervention process generates socially relevant knowledge. For it the paper proceeds to a reflection on the dilemmas and ethical challenges that are present in community practices: (a) related to methodological requirements and to the production of knowledge; (b) linked to "daily and historical sensibility". It asks if psychosocial intervention captures the processes of participation and awareness. It ends up with an exposure of significant aspects to the methodological and political congruence between intervention and psychosocial research in community from the perspective of Latin American Social Community Psychology.


Este trabajo analiza las relaciones entre los procesos de investigación e intervención en el ámbito de la comunidad, haciendo hincapié en dos cuestiones centrales: (a) si la investigación (pesquisa) debe conducir a acciones que también están comprometidos con la realidad y el cambio social; y (b) si el proceso de intervención comunitaria genera conocimiento socialmente relevante. Para tanto el documento procede a una reflexión sobre los dilemas y desafíos éticos que están presentes en las prácticas en la comunidad: (a) en relación con los requisitos metodológicos y de la producción de conocimiento; (b) ligados a "la sensibilidad cotidiana y histórica". Se pregunta si la intervención psicosocial captura los procesos de participación y toma de conciencia. Se termina con una exposición de los aspectos importantes de la congruencia metodológica y política entre la intervención y la investigación psicosocial en la comunidad desde la perspectiva de la Psicología Social Comunitaria Latinoamericana.

ABSTRACT

Chronic diseases, including rheumatic diseases, can cause immense physical and psychosocial burden for patients. Many Hispanics suffering with arthritis face activity limitations. Social support, or the functional content of relationships, may be important to consider when examining treatment and outcomes for Hispanic individuals. Participants were recruited from an urban community health center (CHC) as part of a larger health behavior study. A cross-sectional, descriptive, mixed methods analysis was conducted to explore the role of social support in the sample. Only Hispanic/Latino patients (n = 46) were included in this analysis. Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish. The majority of the sample (87%) perceived some presence of social support in their lives. The two most commonly cited types of social support were emotional and instrumental. The two most common sources of social support were family members other than spouses (52.2%) and spouses (32.6%). Body mass index (BMI) was significantly correlated with the number of perceived sources of support. The presence or absence and the role of social support in supporting optimal health outcomes should be considered for Hispanics with chronic rheumatic diseases. Involving family members and spouses in the plan of care for this population could facilitate health promotion and chronic disease management.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo objetiva investigar os motivos de um indivíduo para aderir à prática regular de atividades físico-esportivas. É um estudo de caso qualitativo que emerge do interesse pelos aspectos intrínsecos de um caso particular. O instrumento utilizado para coleta de dados foi a entrevista. Tendo em vista a análise e a interpretação dos dados coletados, concluímos que: (1) a prática de atividades físico-esportivas pode estar associada a motivos que não são representados, isto é, a impulsos que permanecem obscuros; (2) o sujeito pratica regularmente atividades físico-esportivas porque com ela se sente mais consciente dos seus limites, de sua potência e de sua estética; (3) sua prática regular está associada à identificação com atividades físico-esportivas variadas; (4) o sujeito pratica-as regularmente, porque associa essa prática a um remédio saudável, porque mexer com o corpo é brincar com o corpo; (5) o sujeito pratica regularmente atividades físico-esportivas porque as qualidades da imaginação o confortam e a ilusão o acolhe e o move.(AU)


This study aims to investigate the reasons why an individual joins regular physical sports activities. This is a qualitative case study which rises from the interest in inherent aspects of a specific situation. The instrument used for data collection was an interview. Considering the analysis and interpretation of the collected data, we have concluded that: (1) the practice of physical sports activities may be associated with reasons which are not shown, that is, with impulses which remain unclear; (2) the individual practices physical sports activities regularly, because by doing so they feel more aware of their limits, their power, their aesthetics; (3) the regular practice of such activities is associated with the identification with varied physical sports activities; (4) the subject practices such activities regularly, as this practice is associated with a healthy medication, since moving the body means playing with the body; (5) the individual practices physical sports activities regularly because the qualities of the imagination are comforting to them, the illusion shelters him and makes him move forward.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O processo de orientarlo profissionai implica conhecimento do individuo e do mercado de traballio, de modo que facilite a tomada de decisào. Um dos desafios para os especialistas da área é o desenvolvimiento de instrumentos que congreguem a Avaliacào Psicológica e a Orientarlo Profissional. A quantidade de instrumentos brasileiros que se propóem avaliar os interesses nos padróes científicos considerados adequados é escassa. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as relagoes entre os instrumentos Escala de Preferencias por Objetos Ocupacionais (EPOOc) e Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional (eap). A amostra foi composta por 553 participantes, com idades entre 19 a 52 anos, de diversos cursos de uma universidade particular do interior do estado de Sao Paulo. Os resultados indicaram, no geral, que as atividades desenvolvidas nos cursos estao associadas com a preferencia pela utilizarlo de objetos nas profissóes relacionadas. Sugere-se novos estudos com amostras diversificadas e a utilizarlo de outros instrumentos em pesquisas futuras.


The process of career guidance implies knowledge of the individual and the labor market in order to facilitate decision making. The one of the challenges for specialists in the field is the development of tools which bring together the Psychological Assessment and Vocational Guidance. The amount of Brazilian instruments that propose to assess the interest in scientific standards considered adequate is scarce. The goal of this study was to examine relationships between the instruments Scale Preferences Objects for Occupational (EPOOc) and Professional Counseling Scale (eap). The sample consisted of 553 participants, aged 19 to 52 years, several courses at a private university in the state of Sao Paulo. The results showed, in general, that the activities in courses associated with the preference for using objects in related professions. It is suggested that further studies with diverse samples and the use of other instruments further research.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Japanese-Brazilian subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One hundred thirty-one residents of the Mombuca community were studied. Statistical analysis was based on the X² test, Fisher's Exact test, Student's t test, and ANOVA, at a 5% significance level. RESULTS: The average age was 56.7 years-old; 76.3% had dyslipidemia, 24.4% pre-diabetes (PDM), 10.7% type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 46.6% hypertension, 52.7% abdominal obesity, and 35.8% metabolic syndrome (MS). There were significant correlations between HOMA-IR and MS diagnosis and obesity, while HOMA-β levels were decreased in T2DM and PDM. The ankle-brachial index was positive for peripheral artery disease in 22.3% of the individuals. Electrocardiograms did not show increased evidence of myocardial ischemia. CONCLUSION: Subjects of this community are exposed to major cardiovascular risk factors, namely high prevalence of MS diagnoses and increased HOMA-IR. Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2012;56(9):608-13.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar a presença de fatores de risco para doença cardiovascular em nipo-brasileiros. SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 131 moradores de Mombuca. Utilizaram-se os testes do Qui-quadrado, Exato de Fisher, t de Student e ANOVA, com significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: A média de idade foi de 56,7 anos; 76,3% tinham dislipidemia, 24,4% pré-diabetes (PDM), 10,7% diabetes melito tipo 2 (DM2), 46,6% hipertensão, 52,7% obesidade abdominal e 35,8% síndrome metabólica (SM). Houve correlação significativa do HOMA-IR com SM e obesidade, enquanto HOMA-β esteve reduzido na presença de DM2 e PDM. O índice tornozelo-braquial foi positivo para doença arterial periférica em 22,3% dos indivíduos. O eletrocardiograma não mostrou aumento de isquemia miocárdica.

ABSTRACT

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased risk of morbi-mortality, thus the characterization of the population magnitude of this syndrome is critical for allocating health care. However, prevalence estimates of MetS in the same population could differ depending on the definition used. Therefore, we compared the prevalence of the MetS using definitions proposed by: National Cholesterol Education Panel Revised (NCEP) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2009 in a Japanese-Brazilians community (131 individuals, age 57 ± 16 years, 1st and 2nd generation). All individuals went through a clinical and laboratorial evaluation for assessment of weigh, height, waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose. The prevalence of MetS was 26.7% (n = 35) and 37.4% (n = 49) under the NCEP and IDF definitions, respectively. Despite higher blood pressure measurements, waist circumference and serum triglyceride levels and lower HDL cholesterol levels (p < 0.01), individuals identified with MetS did not show increased blood glucose levels. IDF definition classified 14 individuals (10.7%) with MetS that were not classified under the NCEP and 35 individuals were identified with MetS by both criteria. We observed, in this group, more severe lipid disorders, compared to individuals identified only under the IDF definition, and the BMI and waist circumference (p = 0.01; p = 0.006, respectively) were lower. In conclusion, the IDF revised criteria, probably because of the ethnic specific values of waist circumference, was able to identify a larger number of individuals with MetS. However, our data suggesting that additional studies are necessary to define best MetS diagnostic criteria in this population.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo analisou como a participação de crianças, nas oficinas da Ação Griô do Centro Cultural Cartola (CCC), influencia a construção subjetiva delas a partir da formação da imagem de si. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se um Grupo Operativo, que propôs atividades expressivas, nas quais as crianças foram estimuladas a falar, desenhar ou escrever, enfocando sempre a expressão de sua subjetividade relacionada à sua imagem de si. Os resultados foram analisados com base nos conceitos de campo social, espaço social e habitus. Concluiu-se que a influência exercida na construção subjetiva das crianças possibilita a formação de uma imagem de si fortalecida para o enfrentamento das vulnerabilidades sociais e a busca pela autonomia de uma melhoria real de qualidade de vida.(AU)


This work analyzed how the participation of children in the activities of the Ação Griô Group at the Cartola Cultural Center in Rio de Janeiro influenced the construction of their subjectivity and their self-image. For this purpose, an Operative Group was developed, in which expressive activities were proposed, thus stimulating children to talk, draw and write, so that they could always express their subjectivity related to their self-image. The concepts of social field, social space and habitus guided the analysis of the results. We conclude that the influence of the operative groups on the children's construction of subjectivity leads to the formation of a stronger self-image which better prepares them to face social vulnerabilities and to get a real improvement in quality of life.(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Japanese-Brazilian subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One hundred thirty-one residents of the Mombuca community were studied. Statistical analysis was based on the X² test, Fisher's Exact test, Student's t test, and ANOVA, at a 5% significance level. RESULTS: The average age was 56.7 years-old; 76.3% had dyslipidemia, 24.4% pre-diabetes (PDM), 10.7% type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 46.6% hypertension, 52.7% abdominal obesity, and 35.8% metabolic syndrome (MS). There were significant correlations between HOMA-IR and MS diagnosis and obesity, while HOMA-ß levels were decreased in T2DM and PDM. The ankle-brachial index was positive for peripheral artery disease in 22.3% of the individuals. Electrocardiograms did not show increased evidence of myocardial ischemia. CONCLUSION: Subjects of this community are exposed to major cardiovascular risk factors, namely high prevalence of MS diagnoses and increased HOMA-IR.

ABSTRACT

Buscamos diálogos da história oral com a educaç?o popularem saúde. A partir desta perspectiva, refletimos sobrecomunidade como práxis intercultural. As histórias oraisde vida em comum contribuem para a compreensão erealização desta práxis. Propomos um dispositivo, o Papode Roda, no qual a força de um comum, intercultural, experencialatravés das histórias orais de vida em comum dácondições da transmissão acontecer. Estes diálogos buscamconstruir na saúde um pensamento-ação da/na diversidade,ocupando-se sobremaneira de uma matéria prima dasaúde, as experiências de vida que articulam saúde com aminoritária história, descontínua, que se faz em lugares dacidade que permitem, no presente, o engendramento dealternativas para demandas contemporâneas de comunidade.Outro instrumento para a práxis política se afirma naeducação popular em saúde, com pistas que respondem aestas demandas de comunidade.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in the Japanese-Brazilian community of Mombuca in relation to risk factors (FR) for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 131 individuals of Japanese ancestry (69% first generation), aged 20 years or more, submitted to socio-cultural, anthropometric, and biochemistry evaluation. RESULTS: Of the individuals studied (n = 131, age = 55.1 ± 15.9 years), 58.8% were women. The prevalence of DM2 and IGT were 13.7% and 14.5%, respectively. Regarding RF, 76.3% presented dyslipidemia, 52.7% abdominal obesity, 48.1% arterial hypertension, and 42.3% whole body obesity. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of DM2, IGT, and RF in this Japanese-Brazilian community was higher than in the adult population of the city of Ribeirão Preto-SP, Brazil, suggesting an increase in risk conditions for these morbidities.

OBJETIVO: Estimar prevalências de diabetes melito tipo 2 (DM2) e tolerância à glicose diminuída (TGD) na comunidade de Mombuca, Guatapará, SP, relacionando-as com fatores de risco (FR) para diabetes e doenças cardiovasculares. SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 131 nipo-brasileiros (69 por cento de 1ª geração), idade > 20 anos, ambos os sexos, com avaliação sociocultural, antropométrica e bioquímica. RESULTADOS: Dos 131 participantes (idade média = 55,1 ± 15,9 anos), a maioria (58,8 por cento) era do sexo feminino. As prevalências de DM2 e TGD foram 13,7 por cento e 14,5 por cento, respectivamente. Em relação aos FR, 76,3 por cento apresentaram dislipidemia, 52,7 por cento, obesidade abdominal (OA), 48,1 por cento, hipertensão arterial (HA) e 42,3 por cento, obesidade geral. CONCLUSÕES: As prevalências de DM2, TGD e FR observadas nos nipo-brasileiros foram superiores aos valores da população adulta de Ribeirão Preto, SP, sugerindo acentuação de situações predisponentes dessas morbidades.
