RESUMEN
The EISI study protocol aims to address the low participation rate in physical exercise programs among older individuals, emphasizing its significance as a non-pharmacological therapeutic approach for overall health and increased physical activity. The objectives include implementing physical activity (PA) and educational health programs in Jequié, Bahia, Brazil, targeting the Family Health Strategy population to enhance local physical activity levels among older individuals. The study also seeks to evaluate the program's feasibility, safety, and sustainability for large-scale implementation, along with assessing its impact on immune and inflammatory response biomarkers to the SARS-CoV virus, as well as physical-functional and brain health. Participants, aged 60 or above, will be divided into two groups: multicomponent exercise (MCE) and behavioral change interventions (BCI). The study employs a mixed-method approach, utilizing a non-randomized controlled short-term pathway model for a 4-8 weeks of pilot study and 16-week intervention impact assessment. Data collection encompasses various aspects such as sociodemographic information, mental health, physical fitness, fall risk, functional capacity, anthropometric measurements, hemodynamic assessment, habitual physical activity, and health-related quality of life. Blood and saliva samples are collected for cytokine and antibody biomarker analysis related to SARS-CoV immunity. Pre- and post-intervention evaluations for both groups will be conducted, with the hypothesis that MCE will yield more favorable responses compared to BCI. The study's holistic approach, including the assessment of feasibility, safety, and sustainability, aims to contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3 and SDG 9 b y promoting accessible and sustainable healthcare initiatives for older individuals. This research aligns with global efforts to enhance health and well-being, emphasizing the importance of regular exercise in the aging population.
RESUMEN
Fundamentos: A cirurgia cardíaca é uma forma de tratamento que, apesar de trazer melhora para o paciente, acarreta alterações no organismo. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência da dor, na primeira cirurgia e na reoperação com uso de circulação extracorpórea (CEC), na medida de independência funcional (MIF). Métodos: Foram estudados 22 pacientes cardiopatas, internados na Fundação de Beneficência Hospital de Cirurgia, submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca eletiva por toracotomia médio-esternal (TME) com uso de circulação extracorpórea (CEC) no período de março a abril 2010. Utilizou-se o questionário da medida de independência funcional (MIF) e a escala de dor pela escala visual analógica (EVA) no pré-operatório, 2º/3º dias pós-operatórios (DPO) e 5º/6º DPO. Resultado: Houve uma redução da dor do 2º/3º DPO para o 5º/6º DPO; uma perda de desempenho funcional do pré-operatório para o 2º/3ºDPO e um ganho deste do 2º/3º DPO para 5º/6º DPO com p<0,001. Não se obteve uma correlação significante entre a dor e o quantitativo cirúrgico com o desempenho funcional, apenas deste com o tempo de CEC, que se mostrou inversamente proporcional. Conclusão: A dor, na primeira cirurgia e na reoperação, não influenciou a medida de independência funcional, sendo apenas influenciada pelo tempo de CEC.
Background: Cardiac surgery is a form of treatment that causes changes in the body, although offering improvement for the patient. Objective: To evaluate the influence of pain during the initial surgery and reoperation with the use ofcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the functional independence measure (FIM).Methods: This study focused on 22 cardiac patients in the Fundação de Beneficência Hospital de Cirurgia(FBHC) hospitalized for elective heart surgery through mid-sternal thoracotomy (MST) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) between March and April 2010, using thefunctional independence measure (FIM) questionnaire and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain in the preoperative, 2/3 and 5/6 PODs. Results: Pain reduction was noted between 2/3 and 5/6 PODs; a loss of functional performance between the preoperativeperiod and the 2/3 PODs; and a gain between the 2/3 and 5/6 PODs with p<0.001. No statistically significant correlation was found between pain and the amount of surgery with functional performance, but only between the latter and the duration of the CPB, whichwas inversely proportional. Conclusion: Pain caused by the first surgery andreoperation did not affect the functional independence measure, which was influenced only by the CPB.
