Researchers' experience in data collection with families of femicide victims.

OBJECTIVES: to describe researchers' experience in collecting data from families of femicide victims. METHODS: this descriptive, qualitative study took the form of an experience report and was conducted in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. It involved documentary consultation, training researchers, scheduling and conducting interviews, and using a field diary to record the researchers' perceptions and experiences. RESULTS: the descriptions and photographs of the crime scene were both distressing and impactful for the researchers. The mementos of the victims (including clothing, objects, and childhood photos) shown by their families were deeply moving. Identifying with these experiences facilitated listening to the stories told by the relatives. It was essential to maintain a non-judgmental attitude, acknowledge the loss, provide support for the suffering, and demonstrate a willingness to help. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the experience encompassed both theoretical and methodological aspects that were planned and executed in data collection, fostering the development of skills and sensitivity towards the cases. Beyond knowledge and preparation, researchers are expected to exhibit ethical conduct and empathetic capacity.

Reflections on co-managing investigative praxis in the context of a health emergency. / Reflexões sobre práxis investigativa cogestora em contexto de emergência sanitária.

This article deals with the interest of the scientific field in systematizing the co-management investigative praxis, in a health emergency scenario, based on the analysis of a research with a multicentric qualitative approach, using the framework of the Support Research and the analysis of critical hermeneutics. As a result, it was identified that the creation of a map guide contributed as a guiding document, aiming at organizing different techniques for the organization and formation of field researchers, as well as an instrument of data analysis. The training of researchers for the theoretical framework of Support Research, as well as their co-management and involvement in the different stages of research, proved to be a differential for the production of subjects and collectives with investigative praxis, allowing a dialogic exchange between coordinators and researchers and regular sharing of the results. It is concluded that the way in which the methodology was proposed, allowed the expansion of the reflective capacity and understanding of reality, contributing to the formation of researchers as active and critical subjects in the process of data collection, analysis and discussion, encouraging sensitive and attentive actions while seeking to identify the particularities of each context.

O artigo trata do interesse do campo científico em sistematizar a práxis investigativa cogestora em cenário de emergência sanitária a partir da análise de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa multicêntrica, valendo-se do referencial da pesquisa-apoio e da análise da hermenêutica critica. Como resultados, identificou-se que a elaboração de um guia-mapa contribuiu como documento norteador, com o objetivo de organizar diferentes técnicas para a preparação e formação dos pesquisadores de campo, também como instrumento de análise dos dados. A formação de pesquisadores para o referencial teórico da pesquisa-apoio, assim como a cogestão e a implicação deles nas diferentes etapas da pesquisa, mostrou-se como diferencial para produção de sujeitos e coletivos com a práxis investigativa, permitindo a troca dialógica dentre coordenadores e pesquisadores e o compartilhamento regular dos resultados. Conclui-se que a forma como a metodologia foi proposta possibilitou a ampliação da capacidade reflexiva e de compreensão sobre a realidade, contribuindo para a formação de pesquisadores como sujeitos ativos e críticos no processo de coleta, análise e discussão dos dados, incentivando a atuação sensível e atenta ao mesmo tempo em que buscou identificar as particularidades de cada contexto.

Advancing arbovirus diagnosis in Brazil: strengthening diagnostic strategies and public health data collection.

BACKGROUND: The last five decades have seen a surge in viral outbreaks, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions like Brazil, where endemic arboviruses such as Dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), and Chikungunya (CHIKV) pose significant threats. However, current diagnostic strategies exhibit limitations, leading to gaps in infection screening, arbovirus differential diagnoses, DENV serotyping, and life-long infection tracking. This deficiency impedes critical information availability regarding an individual's current infection and past infection history, disease risk assessment, vaccination needs, and policy formulation. Additionally, the availability of point-of-care diagnostics and knowledge regarding immune profiles at the time of infection are crucial considerations. OBJECTIVES: This review underscores the urgent need to strengthen diagnostic methods for arboviruses in Brazil and emphasizes the importance of data collection to inform public health policies for improved diagnostics, surveillance, and policy formulation. METHODS: We evaluated the diagnostic landscape for arboviral infections in Brazil, focusing on tailored, validated methods. We assessed diagnostic methods available for sensitivity and specificity metrics in the context of Brazil. RESULTS: Our review identifies high-sensitivity, high-specificity diagnostic methods for arboviruses and co-infections. Grifols transcription-mediated amplification assays are recommended for DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV screening, while IgG/IgM ELISA assays outperform Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs). The Triplex real-time RT-PCR assay is recommended for molecular screening due to its sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSION: Enhanced diagnostic methods, on-going screening, and tracking are urgently needed in Brazil to capture the complex landscape of arboviral infections in the country. Recommendations include nationwide arbovirus differential diagnosis for DENV, ZIKV, and CHIKV, along with increased DENV serotyping, and lifelong infection tracking to combat enduring viral threats and reduce severe presentations.

Specific cognitive and psychological alterations are more strongly linked to increased migraine disability than chronic migraine diagnosis.

INTRODUCTION: The efficiency of The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) in reflecting patients' disability has recently been questioned. This prompts consideration that clinical features beyond pain may more accurately indicate the extent of underlying brain impairment than the mere frequency of headache days. Important cognitive dysfunctions and psychological impairment have been reported in burdensome cases of migraine, and the presence of these alterations has been associated with biological changes in the nervous system. This study aimed to compare migraine-related disability within a specific patient group, classified using ICHD-3 criteria or classified based on findings from a neuropsychological evaluation using machine learning. Additionally, a complementary voxel-based morphometry (VBM) comparison was conducted to explore potential neuroanatomical differences between the resulting groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included episodic and chronic migraine patients seeking consultation at a specialized headache department. A neuropsychological evaluation protocol, encompassing validated standardized tests for cognition, anxiety, depression, perceived stress, and headache-related impact (HIT-6) and disability (MIDAS), was administered. Results from this evaluation were input into an automated K-means clustering algorithm, with a predefined K=2 for comparative purposes. A supplementary Voxel-based Morphometry (VBM) evaluation was conducted to investigate neuroanatomical contrasts between the two distinct grouping configurations. RESULTS: The study involved 111 participants, with 49 having chronic migraine and 62 having episodic migraine. Seventy-four patients were assigned to cluster one, and 37 patients were assigned to cluster two. Cluster two exhibited significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and perceived stress, and performed worse in alternating and focalized attention tests. Differences in HIT-6 and MIDAS scores between episodic and chronic migraine patients did not reach statistical significance (HIT-6: 64.39 (±7,31) vs 62.92 (±11,61); p= 0. 42 / MIDAS: 73.63 (±68,61) vs 84.33 (±63,62); p=0.40). In contrast, patients in cluster two exhibited significantly higher HIT-6 (62.32 (±10,11) vs 66.57 (±7,21); p=0.03) and MIDAS (68.69 (±62,58) vs 97.68 (±70,31); p=0.03) scores than patients in cluster one. Furthermore, significant differences in grey matter volume between the two clusters were noted, particularly involving the precuneus, while differences between chronic and episodic migraine patients did not withstand correction for multiple comparisons. CONCLUSIONS: The classification of migraine patients based on neuropsychological characteristics demonstrates a more effective separation of groups in terms of disability compared to categorizing them based on the chronic or episodic diagnosis of ICHD-3. These findings could reveal biological changes that might explain differences in treatment responses among apparently similar patients.

Sleep quality of patients with diabetes mellitus: association with anxiety trait and state.

OBJECTIVE: To assess sleep quality and the association of trait and state anxiety in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHOD: A cross-sectional, quantitative, and analytical study was conducted between January and April 2022, at the reference center for hypertension and diabetes in Rio Verde, Goiás, with 81 patients. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used for data collection. Analyses included the Student's t-test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Of patients, 64.2% reported poor sleep quality. There were significant differences in trait anxiety levels between patients with good and poor sleep quality. Trait anxiety was associated with sleep quality, with an increase in the trait anxiety score increasing the chances of poor sleep quality. CONCLUSION: A significant proportion of the sample had poor sleep quality, and trait anxiety was found to be associated with this condition.

Social representations of tuberculosis by people with the disease.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the social representations of people with tuberculosis about the disease and its implications for following treatment. METHOD: A descriptive, qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations. It was conducted in a municipal health unit in the city of Belém. The participants were people diagnosed with tuberculosis and undergoing directly observed treatment, with the sample size defined by the data saturation technique. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews. For data analysis it was used thematic content analysis. RESULTS: The records converged into three categories: Representations of tuberculosis and its impacts on the diagnosis; The faces of treatment: challenges facing follow-up and hope; and Constructions of living with the disease in family and society. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Living with the disease transforms everyday life and relationships. Discrimination and prejudice denote the need to reconfigure such representations for patients to be embraced.

Public health surveillance and the data, information, knowledge, intelligence and wisdom paradigm / Vigilancia de salud pública y el paradigma de datos, información, conocimiento, inteligencia y sabiduría / Vigilância em saúde pública e o paradigma de dados, informações, conhecimento, inteligência e sabedoria

[ABSTRACT]. This article points out deficiencies in present-day definitions of public health surveillance, which include data collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination, but not public health action. Controlling a public health problem of concern requires a public health response that goes beyond information dissemination. It is unde- sirable to have public health divided into data generation processes (public health surveillance) and data use processes (public health response), managed by two separate groups (surveillance experts and policy-makers). It is time to rethink the need to modernize the definition of public health surveillance, inspired by the authors’ enhanced Data, Information, Knowledge, Intelligence and Wisdom model. Our recommendations include expanding the scope of public health surveillance beyond information dissemination to comprise actionable knowledge (intelligence); mandating surveillance experts to assist policy-makers in making evidence-informed decisions; encouraging surveillance experts to become policy-makers; and incorporating public health literacy training – from data to knowledge to wisdom – into the curricula for all public health professionals. Work on modernizing the scope and definition of public health surveillance will be a good starting point.

[RESUMEN]. En este artículo se señalan las deficiencias de las definiciones actuales de la vigilancia de salud pública, que incluyen la recopilación, el análisis, la interpretación y la difusión de los datos, pero no las medidas de salud pública. El control de un problema de salud pública de interés exige una respuesta de salud pública que vaya más allá de la difusión de información. No es deseable que la salud pública esté dividida por un lado en procesos de generación de datos (vigilancia de salud pública) y por otro en procesos de uso de datos (respuesta de salud pública), gestionados por dos grupos diferentes (expertos en vigilancia y responsables de la formulación de políticas). Ha llegado el momento de replantear la necesidad de modernizar la definición de la vigilancia de salud pública tomando como referencia el modelo mejorado de Datos, Información, Cono- cimiento, Inteligencia y Sabiduría de los autores. Entre las recomendaciones que se proponen se encuentran las de ampliar el alcance de la vigilancia de salud pública más allá de la difusión de información para que incluya también el conocimiento aplicable (inteligencia); instar a los expertos en vigilancia a que presten ayuda a los responsables de la formulación de políticas en la toma de decisiones basadas en la evidencia; alentar a los expertos en vigilancia a que se conviertan en responsables de la formulación de políticas; e incorporar la formación en conocimientos básicos de salud pública (desde los datos hasta los conocimientos y la sabiduría) en los planes de estudio de todos los profesionales de la salud pública. Un buen punto de partida será trabajar en la modernización del alcance y la definición de la vigilancia de salud pública.

[RESUMO]. Este artigo aponta deficiências nas definições atuais de vigilância em saúde pública, que incluem coleta, análise, interpretação e disseminação de dados, mas não ações de saúde pública. O controle de um prob- lema preocupante de saúde pública exige uma resposta de saúde pública que vá além da disseminação de informações. A saúde pública não deve ser dividida em processos de geração de dados (vigilância em saúde pública) e processos de uso de dados (resposta de saúde pública) gerenciados por dois grupos distintos (especialistas em vigilância e formuladores de políticas). É hora de repensar a necessidade de modernizar a definição de vigilância em saúde pública, inspirada no modelo aprimorado de Dados, Informações, Con- hecimento, Inteligência e Sabedoria dos autores. Nossas recomendações incluem: expansão do escopo da vigilância em saúde pública para além da disseminação de informações, de modo a abranger conhecimentos acionáveis (inteligência); obrigatoriedade de que os especialistas em vigilância auxiliem os formuladores de políticas na tomada de decisões baseadas em evidências; incentivo para que os especialistas em vigilân- cia se tornem formuladores de políticas; e incorporação de capacitação em letramento em saúde pública (partindo dos dados para o conhecimento e em seguida para a sabedoria) nos currículos de todos os profis- sionais de saúde pública. O trabalho de modernizar o escopo e a definição de vigilância em saúde pública será um bom ponto de partida.

Intra- and inter-examiner reliability for diagnostic criteria of temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) - axis 1: assessment in a sample of students

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the intra- and inter-examiner reliability when using the DC/TMD axis 1 and verify the replicability and validity of the data obtained.Methods: The sample comprised 30 volunteers (students) of the Instituto Universitário de Ciências da Saúde Norte (Portugal). The calibration process consisted of a volunteer selection, theoretical and practical training, data collection, and agreement calculation. Examiners received proper previous training. Three dental practitioners applied the questionnaire (T1) and re-examined all the participants one week later (T2). To measure the degree of inter and intra-examiner agreement, multiple Kappa coefficients were obtained when nominal or ordinal variables were involved. When the correspondence between quantifiable variables was assessed, Pearson correlation coefficients and their statistical significance were replicated.Results: Regarding opening patterns, a strong overall agreement was obtained, only showing discrepancies in left-assisted and unassisted maximum openings (from -0.034 to -0.370 and -0.630 to -0.933, respectively). A high level of inter-examiner agreement during TMJ noise during the opening assessment was obtained, only displaying variations in clicks (Kappa -0.423 to 0.757). Protrusion movement showed negative kappa and weaker agreement of all measurements (Kappa between -0.034 and -0037). Small discrepancies were obtained from palpation assessment (left lateral pole- Kappa -0.034).Conclusion: There was no discernible and persistent difference in the amount of agreement among the three examiners, demonstrating that all three examiners were capable of participating in data collecting by employing the DC/TMD questionnaire. The findings indicated nearly perfect intra- and inter-examiner concordance scores.

Association between self-perceived consultation time and understanding of the prescribed treatment: An analysis of a national survey in Peru.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between the self-perceived consultation time and the knowledge of the proposed treatment. METHODS: Secondary data from a 2015 national survey of health services in Peru were analyzed. The self-perceived consultation time was calculated by asking how long it took from when you entered the consultation until you departed. It was then categorized as low, medium, and high. Five self-reported questions were used to construct a knowledge of the prescribed treatment. Adjusted regression models from the Poisson family models were used to evaluate the relationship. We report adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). RESULTS: A total of 9939 outpatients were analyzed, with 58% women; the average age was 44 years; and 45.4% had higher education. Using low self-perceived consultation time as references, medium and high consultation times were associated with understanding the prescribed treatment (aPR=1.17; 95%CI, 1.04-1.33 and aPR=1.30; 95%CI, 1.20-1.40, respectively). CONCLUSION: Patients who reported a medium and high self-perceived consultation time better understood the prescribed treatment. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Healthcare professionals should strive to maximize consultation time to ensure effective communication and improve patient knowledge of treatments, improving overall patient satisfaction and health outcomes.

Seasonal variations in botanical and nutritive composition, forage availability and ingestive behavior of grazing goats in the semiarid region.

The aim of this study was to assess how the different seasons of the year impact the botanical composition, availability, and quality of forage in the caatinga, as well as the frequency of ingestion and ingestive behavior of goats in a semi-arid region. The experiment used four crossbred castrated males, with an average weight of 30.2 ± 4.76 kg and an average age of 20 months. The experimental period lasted for 12 months, encompassing two rainy seasons and one dry season within this timeframe, with three replications (data collection) per season. All collected forage was categorized based on its stratum (herbaceous, woody, and litter), and a chemical composition analysis was conducted. The goats' behavior was assessed by observing variables such as feeding time, idleness, rumination, displacement, social interaction, and water intake. The findings revealed clear seasonality in both availability and quality of forage, consequently influencing the botanical composition of the goats' diet and their ingestive behavior. In addition, during the grazing period, the goats showed a shift grazing habit, in which idle and feeding peaks were alternated with increased displacement during the morning and rumination in the afternoon. The seasons of the year strongly impact the availability and nutritional quality of forage in the caatinga biome, consequently influencing the ingestive behavior and dietary composition of goats in this ecosystem.

Collection of menopause data in studies of women living with HIV: A systematic literature review.

OBJECTIVES: An increasing number of women living with HIV are transitioning through midlife and menopause. Women living with HIV may experience earlier menopause and a higher symptom burden than women without HIV, but more evidence is needed. Data collection on menopause in women living with HIV is scarce and often not standardized. We sought to assess how menopause data are collected in cohorts and studies of women living with HIV. METHODS: This was a literature review conducted within the PubMed database. We included original studies and cohorts assessing menopause and/or menopausal symptoms in women living with HIV. Study characteristics and menopause data collection, including the definition of menopause, symptom assessment tools, and measurement of biomedical parameters, were noted and summarized systematically in data tables. RESULTS: We included 40 articles describing 37 separate studies published between 2000 and 2023; 27 of these were conducted in high-income countries, the majority in the USA (n = 16). Ten studies were from low- and middle-income countries; four of these were conducted in Brazil. In 20 studies, menopause was defined according to the World Health Organization's definition of over 12 months of amenorrhea. Twelve studies used the Menopause Rating Scale to characterize menopausal symptoms, five studies used other specified symptom assessment tools, and 12 studies used a study-specific tool. CONCLUSIONS: Menopause data collection in women living with HIV is heterogeneous. We propose that standardized tools should be used to enable comparisons between studies and countries, thereby improving the quality of research and clinical treatment. Further research into the validity of menopausal symptom scoring tools is warranted.

Prática esportiva e desempenho acadêmico no ensino médio do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso / Sports practice and academic performance in high school of the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso / Práctica deportiva y rendimiento académico en la escuela secundaria del Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso

Objetivos: A presente pesquisa teve oobjetivo de verificar se a participação esportiva nos jogos do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso (IFMT) interfere no desempenho acadêmico de estudantes do ensino médio. Metodologia: Os estudantes do estudo foram divididos em dois grupos, conforme a participação nos JIFMT. A amostra foi composta por 74 estudantes não participantes (16,80 ± 1,22 anos de idade) e 74 estudantes participantes (17,10 ± 1,25 anos de idade), de ambos os sexos,dos Jogos do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso (JIFMT). A coleta de dados ocorreu no ano de 2018 em dois momentos distintos: durante os JIFMT para os estudantes participantes; após o período dos JIFMT via online para os estudantes não participantes dos JIFMT. Ambos os grupos responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico, e o desempenho acadêmico foi obtido a partir do histórico acadêmico disponibilizado pela própria instituição. Nosso estudo tem caráter descritivo e transversal. Foram utilizadas as análises estatísticas, seguidas de análises inferenciais não paramétricas e teste de comparação. Resultados e discussão: o grupo de participantes dos JIFMT apresentou desempenho acadêmico similar ao grupo dos não participantes no conceito acadêmico. Logo, não houve prejuízo nem melhora. Os participantes da competição (54,1%) consideram-se fisicamente mais ativos do que os não participantes (25,7%), além de ter mais engajamento/pretensão em praticar atividade física. Conclusões: a participação nos jogos não afetou o desempenho acadêmico de estudantes, consequentemente, os JIFMT não impediram que os estudantes alcançassem um similar desempenho acadêmico ao grupo de não participantes.

Objective: The present research aimed to verify if the sports participation in the games of the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso (IFMT) interferes in the academic performance of high school students. Methodology: The study students were divided into two groups according to their participation in the JIFMT. The sample consisted of 74 non-participating students (16.80 ± 1.22 years old) and 74 participating students (17.10 ± 1.25 years old) in the Jogos do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso (JIFMT) from both the sexes. Data collection took place in 2018 at two different times: during the JIFMT for the participating students; after the JIFMT period via online for non-participating. Both groups answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and academic performance was obtained from the academic record provided by the institution itself. Our study is descriptive and cross-sectional. Statistical analyzes were used, followed by non-parametric inferential analyzes and comparison test. Results and discussion: The group of JIFMT participants showed similar academic performance to non-participan ts in the academic concept, so there was no loss or improvement. Participants in the competition (54.1%) consider themselves to be more physically active than non-participants (25.7%), in addition to having more engagement/pretentiousness in practicing physical activity. Conclusions: Participation in the games did not affect the academic performance of students, consequently, the JIFMT did not prevent students from achieving a similar academic performance to the group of non-participants.

O tamanho de efeito foi medido pelo teste d de Cohen. Resultados e Discussão: Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas nas variações de sentimentos de burnout total e por dimensões antes e após a temporada (p>0,05) e o tamanho de efeito das comparações foi considerado pequeno (Cohen d < 0, 30). Conclusão: Os atletas apresentaram baixa prevalência de síndrome de burnout, tanto no início quanto no final da temporada. Quanto à percepção das dimensões de burnout, os atletas não apresentaram altos níveis, o que pode sinalizar que os atletas conseguem lidar de maneira adaptativa com as demandas tanto no âmbito esportivo como pessoal

Objective: To identify the prevalence of burnout syndrome and compare the perception of the syndrome before and after the season in under-20 field soccer athletes. Methodology: The study involved 48 male athletes from 5 professional clubs, with an average age of 18.46 ± 0.69 years. Data collection included a sociodemographic form and the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). Descriptive statistics were used for means of dimensions and total burnout. Data normality was considered non-parametric using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Subsequently, the Wilcoxon test was employed to assess potential differences in burnout feelings before and after the season. The adopted significance level was p < 0.05. Effect size was measured by Cohen's d test. Results and discussion: No significant differences were found in variations of total burnout feelings and by dimensions before and after the season (p > 0.05), and the effect size of the comparisons was considered small (Cohen d < 0.30). Conclusion: Athletes displayed a low prevalence of burnout syndrome, both at the beginning and end of the season. Regarding the perception of burnout dimensions, athletes did not exhibit high levels, which may indicate that athletes can adaptively cope with demands in both the sports and personal spheres.

Objective: To evaluate nursing graduates' quality of occupational life at health institutions in the Republic of Ecuador. Methods: A quantitative study, with a descriptive and cross-sectional design, was carried out in the Republic of Ecuador during the year 2019. The sample consisted of 146 nursing graduates. For data collection, CVT-GOHISALO was applied, a questionnaire validated in the study population. The data were analyzed and processed in IBM-SPSS V26, using descriptive statistics. Results: The overall perception of quality of occupational life was low in 77.40 percent of the participants. The dimensions with low levels of satisfaction were institutional support (54.79 percent), occupational safety (52.05 percent), job integration (67.81 percent), job satisfaction (82.88 percent), well-being achieved through work (84.93) and personal development (76.71 percent). In addition, the dimension that presented critical levels of dissatisfaction was free time management (89.04 percent). Conclusions: The nursing graduates' quality of occupational life in Ecuador is unsatisfactory, highlighting the need to take action to address the factors contributing to dissatisfaction and improve the occupational environment, thus ensuring high quality care with a healthy and sustainable environment(AU)

Un modelo explicativo de la satisfacción laboral en enfermeras / An Explanatory Model of Job Satisfaction in Nurses

Introducción: La satisfacción laboral constituye una actitud resultante de la evaluación cognitiva y afectiva de las experiencias laborales. Sus consecuencias positivas en el comportamiento organizacional de las enfermeras se encuentran bien documentadas en la literatura. No obstante, sus determinantes disposicionales son aún motivo de investigación. Objetivo: Examinar un modelo explicativo de satisfacción laboral basado en el interjuego entre resiliencia, trabajo significativo, edad y antigüedad laboral. Métodos: Investigación cuantitativa correlacional explicativa en una población de enfermeras de un hospital nivel 3 en Santa Fe, Argentina, durante el segundo semestre de 2022. Se conformó por muestreo aleatorio simple una muestra de 133 enfermeras. Resiliencia, trabajo significativo y satisfacción laboral se midieron cada una con una escala tipo Likert, y las características sociodemográficas mediante cuestionario estructurado. La recolección de los datos se realizó mediante formulario electrónico. Se obtuvieron evidencias de estructura interna, validez y confiabilidad de los instrumentos. Se calcularon estadísticos descriptivos y coeficientes de correlación. La mediación moderada se estimó mediante bootstrapping, con el software IBM-SPSS y la macro PROCESS. Resultados: Se encontraron correlaciones positivas entre las variables (p< 0,001) y efectos indirectos de la resiliencia sobre la satisfacción laboral (ß = 0,46; IC 95 por ciento = 0,289; 0,750). Se comprobó el rol moderador de la edad y la antigüedad laboral (Edad:ß = 0,54; IC 95 por ciento = 0,295; 0,649; Antigüedad: ß = 0,68; IC 95 por ciento = 0,346; 0,759). Conclusiones: El trabajo significativo media el efecto de la resiliencia sobre la satisfacción laboral, y este efecto se incrementa con la edad y la antigüedad laboral de las enfermeras(AU)

Introduction: Job satisfaction is an attitude resulting from the cognitive and affective assessment of occupational experiences. Its positive consequences on nurses' organizational behavior are well documented in the literature. However, its dispositional determinants are still under investigation. Objective: To examine an explanatory model of job satisfaction based on the interplay between resilience, meaningful work, age and occupational seniority. Methods: A quantitative, correlational and explanatory research was carried out in a population of nurses from a level-3 hospital in Santa Fe, Argentina, during the second semester of 2022. A sample of 133 nurses was formed by simple random sampling. Resilience, meaningful work and job satisfaction were each measured using a Likert-type scale; while sociodemographic characteristics were measured using a structured questionnaire. Data collection was performed using an electronic form. Evidence of the internal structure, validity and reliability of the instruments was obtained. Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were calculated. Moderated mediation was estimated by bootstrapping, using the IBM-SPSS software and the PROCESS macro. Results: Positive correlations were found between variables (p < 0.001), as well as indirect effects of resilience on job satisfaction (ß = 0.46; 95 percent CI = 0.289, 0.750). The moderating role of age and occupational seniority was tested (age: ß = 0.54; 95 percent CI = 0.295, 0.649; seniority: ß = 0.68; 95 percent CI = 0.346, 0.759). Conclusions: Meaningful work mediates the effect of resilience on job satisfaction, and such effect increases with nurses' age and occupational seniority(AU)

Experiência de psicólogas(os) brasileiras(os) com atendimento psicológico online durante a primeira onda da pandemia de covid-19 / Brazilian psychologists' experience with online psychotherapy during the first wave of the covid-19 pandemic / Experiencia de los psicólogos brasileños con la atención psicológica en línea durante la primera ola de la pandemia de la covid-19

Com a emergência da pandemia de Covid-19, as(os) psicólogas(os) passaram a oferecer atendimento online para pacientes que até então eram atendidos de forma presencial. Na maior parte dos casos, essa mudança se deu de forma improvisada e sem capacitação prévia. Nesse contexto, este estudo, de caráter descritivo-exploratório, quanti-qualitativo e com delineamento transversal, buscou compreender a experiência das(os) psicólogas(os) na transição das intervenções da modalidade presencial para o atendimento remoto durante a pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil, identificando dificuldades e lacunas percebidas nas orientações disponibilizadas pelo Conselho Federal de Psicologia. Participaram da pesquisa 385 psicólogas(os). Utilizou-se um questionário online para a coleta dos dados, distribuído por meio de uma plataforma digital entre maio e novembro de 2020. O estudo também foi divulgado em grupos da categoria profissional da psicologia em diversas redes sociais. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados por meio de análise estatística descritiva, e as respostas para as questões abertas por meio de análise temática reflexiva. Os achados foram organizados em três categorias temáticas: (a) lacunas percebidas nas orientações quanto à escolha da plataforma digital; (b) lacunas quanto ao preenchimento do cadastro no site E-Psi ; e (c) falta de treinamento adequado para realizar a transição para o formato online. Entre os principais resultados, destacaram-se a insegurança gerada pela falta de preparo prévio das(os) profissionais e a resistência de alguns clientes a aceitar a transposição dos atendimentos do modelo presencial para o online. Espera-se que o mapeamento das principais dificuldades enfrentadas pela categoria contribua para qualificar o debate sobre a efetividade das orientações disponibilizadas para as(os) psicólogas(os).(AU)

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, psychologists began to offer online consultations to their patients, who were previously seen in person. In most cases, this change happened in an improvised way and with no prior training required. In this context, this study, of a descriptive-exploratory, quanti-qualitative character with cross-sectional design, aimed to understand the experience of psychologists in the transition from in-person to remote modality during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, identifying difficulties and gaps regarding the guidelines provided by the Federal Council of Psychology. A total of 385 psychologists participated in the research. An online questionnaire was used for data collection, distributed via a digital platform between May and November 2020. The study was also shared in professional Psychology groups on several social networks. The quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, and the answers to the open questions by reflective thematic analysis. The findings were organized into three thematic categories: (a) gaps perceived in the guidance regarding the choice of the digital platform; (b) gaps regarding the completion of the registration on the E-Psi website; and (c) lack of adequate training to make the transition to the online format. Among the main results were the insecurity generated by the lack of previous preparation of the professionals and the resistance of some clients to accept the transposition of the face-to-face services to the online model. It is expected that the mapping of the main difficulties faced by the category will contribute to qualify the debate about the effectiveness of the orientations made available to psychologists.(AU)

Con la emergencia de la pandemia de Covid-19, las(os) psicólogas(os) comenzaron a ofrecer atención psicológica en línea a pacientes que hasta entonces eran atendidos de forma presencial. Este cambio se producía a menudo de forma improvisada y sin la formación previa necesaria. Este estudio descriptivo, exploratorio, cuanticualitativo, con enfoque transversal, tuvo como objetivo comprender la experiencia de estos profesionales en la transición del trabajo presencial al remoto durante la pandemia de Covid-19 en Brasil, identificando dificultades y lagunas percibidas en las directrices del Consejo Federal de Psicología. Participaron en la investigación 385 psicólogos(as). Para la recogida de datos se utilizó un cuestionario en línea distribuido por plataforma digital entre mayo y noviembre de 2020. El estudio también se difundió en grupos de la categoría profesional de la Psicología en diversas redes sociales. Los datos cuantitativos se analizaron mediante análisis estadístico descriptivo, y las respuestas a las preguntas abiertas mediante análisis temático reflexivo. Los resultados se organizaron en tres categorías temáticas: (a) lagunas percibidas en la orientación sobre la elección de la plataforma digital; (b) lagunas relativas a la realización de la inscripción en el sitio web E-Psi ; y (c) falta de formación adecuada para realizar la transición al formato en línea. Entre los principales resultados, destacaron la inseguridad generada por la falta de preparación previa de los profesionales y la resistencia de algunos clientes a aceptar la transición de los servicios del modelo presencial al modelo en línea. Se espera que el estudio de las principales dificultades a las que se enfrenta la categoría contribuya a matizar el debate sobre la eficacia de las orientaciones puestas a disposición de los(as) psicólogos(as).(AU)

Modalidades de administración de un cuestionario referido a hábitos de salud bucal: análisis de concordancia / Modalities for the administration of a questionnaire on oral health habits: a concordance analysis

Objetivo: Analizar las diferencias entre dos modali-dades de administración de un instrumento, autoad-ministrado o guiado por un investigador, aplicados a tutores legales de infantes de una institución educa-tiva. Materiales y Métodos: muestra de 130 tutores legales de niños/as (3 y 5 años) pertenecientes a un jardín de infantes municipal de Avellaneda. Se aplicó un instrumento de recolección de datos sobre hábi-tos de salud bucal constituido por 14 preguntas sim-ples, múltiples y cerradas. La entrega y devolución del instrumento fue a través de la institución. A los 2 meses se convocó a la misma población para comple-tar el mismo instrumento guiado por un investigador. Se evaluó: porcentajede concurrentes e instrumen-tos respondidos totalmente (modalidad autoadminis-trada), porcentaje de concurrentes que completaron el instrumento guiado y concordancia total y por res-puesta de las 2 modalidades. Se analizaron frecuen-cias y porcentajes. Para comparar la concordancia se utilizó Kappa global y Kappa de Cohen para cada pregunta. Resultados: 76,9% de tutores legales res-pondieron en la modalidad autoadministrada y 48,5% la guiada por el investigador. El 80,0% respondió la totalidad de las preguntas del instrumento autoad-ministrado. Al comparar las respuestas para ambas modalidades, no se observaron diferencias signifi-cativas en la totalidad de las mismas. Al analizar las respuestas solo 3 de las 14 preguntas tuvieron una concordancia menor (0,70). Conclusión: Para la po-blación estudiada, la forma autoadministrada tuvo mayor tasa de respuesta que la guiada por un inves-tigador, sin que se registren diferencias en las res-puestas de ambas formas de administración (AU)

Objective: Analyze the differences between two methods of administration of an instrument, self-administered or guided by a researcher, applied to legal guardians of infants in an educational institution. Materials and Methods: Population 130 legal guardians of children (3 and 5 years old) belonging to a municipal kindergarten in Avellaneda. A data collection instrument on oral health habits was applied, consisting of 14 simple, multiple, and closed questions. The delivery and return of the instrument was through the institution. After 2 months, the same population was called to complete the same instrument guided by a researcher. The following were evaluated: percentage of participants and instruments fully answered (self-administered mode), percentage of participants who completed the guided instrument. The total and response agreement of the 2 modalities was evaluated. Frequencies and percentages were analyzed. To compare agreement, global Kappa was used, and Cohen's Kappa was used for each question. Results: 76.9% of legal guardians responded to the self-administered modality and 48.5% to the one guided by the researcher. 80.0% answered all the questions of the self-administered instrument. When comparing the responses for both modalities, no significant differences were observed in all of them. When analyzing the answers, only 3 of the 14 questions had a lower agreement (0.70). Conclusion: For the population studied, the self-administered form had a higher response rate than the one guided by a researcher, with no differences recorded in the responses of both forms of administration (AU)

Latin American Cerebral Palsy Register (LATAM-CPR): study protocol to develop a collaborative register with surveillance of children with cerebral palsy in Latin American countries.

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of childhood disability globally with a high burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Preliminary findings from the global LMIC CP Register (GLM CPR) suggest that the majority of CP in LMICs are due to potentially preventable causes. Such data are lacking in the Latin American region. Generating comparable epidemiological data on CP from this region could enable translational research and services towards early diagnosis and early intervention. We aim to establish a Latin American multicountry network and online data repository of CP called Latin American Cerebral Palsy Register (LATAM-CPR). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The LATAM-CPR will be modelled after the GLM CPR and will support new and emerging Latin American CP registers following a harmonised protocol adapted from the GLM CPR and piloted in Argentina (ie, Argentine Register of Cerebral Palsy). Both population-based and institution-based surveillance mechanisms will be adopted for registration of children with CP aged less than 18 years to the participating CP registers. The data collection form of the LATAM-CPR will include risk factors, clinical profile, rehabilitation, socioeconomical status of children with CP. Descriptive data on the epidemiology of CP from each participating country will be reported, country-specific and regional data will be compared. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Individual CP registers have applied ethics approval from respective national human research ethics committees (HREC) and/or institutional review boards prior to the establishment and inclusion into the LATAM-CPR. Ethical approval for LATAM-CPR has already been obtained from the HREC in the two countries that started (Argentina and Mexico). Findings will be disseminated and will be made publicly available through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and social media communications.
