Materials and Methods: Before joining the company, employees access the system with a login and password, and in less than a minute, they perform the test, which consists of identifying pre-known figures as correct or incorrect. The test assesses impulse control (the ability to avoid errors by touching during the evaluation), attention (discriminating the figure that represents the correct stimulus in the test and reacting as quickly as possible by touching the screen every time it appears), and reaction time (speed to react to the correct stimulus by touching the screen). The test result is immediately released after its completion. The test result contributes to work clearance, referral for ...

After obtaining data on weight and height, Method: among participants aged 10 to 14 years, the Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated, used to obtain the nutritional diagnosis. The analysis of body composition was performed on a saliva sample collected before and after the administration of a dose of Deuterium Oxide (D2O, at a dose of 0.5g/kg (maximum 30g), using the technique of Infrared Spectrometry by Transform of Fourier (FTIR), following the methodology described by Slater et al., (2005). Study approved by the Institutional Research Ethics Committee. The Results: sample consisted of 390 participants, 233 (59.8%) girls, with a mean age of 12.7 ±1.1 years. The percentage of body fat by D2O showed a parametric distribution between males an...

The aim of the study was to adapt and validate the Regret Intensity Scale-10 (RIS-10) for Brazilian health professionals. Methods. The validation study took place in two phases, in which the first was the translation of the instruments and the second, the field validation using psychometric properties validity and reliability of the scale with 341 professionals (doctors, nurses and physiotherapists) linked to hospitals. Validity was assessed using content validities (six judges evaluation), criteria (correlation with the Life Satisfaction Scale - SWLS and Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20 -SRQ-20) and construct (exploratory analysis using the rotation method Promax, based on the slope graph and the Kaiser criterion and confirmatory using the structural equation model) after applying the questionnaire to professionals.Reliability was measured by Cronbach's α coefficient and retest test over a maximum period of 30 days. Reproducibility was calculated by intraclass correla...

However, in Brazil, there are few instruments that evaluate this ability in the general context. The aim of the study was to adapt and validate the Regret Coping Scale for Healthcare Professionals (RCS-HCP) for Brazilian health professionals. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with professionals linked to tertiary care hospital institutions. In the validation, the instruments were translated, and the psychometric properties were evaluated for validity and reliability. Validity was assessed using the following validities: content (judges' evaluation), criterion (correlation with Satisfaction With Life Scale – SWLS and Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 – SRQ-20) and construct validity (exploratory factor analysis using the method of Promax rotation, based on the slope graph and Kaiser criterion and confirmatory using the structural equation model...

The objective was to evaluate the preceptors’ perception about Pediatric medical residents’ interest and motivation in the teaching process. This is a cross-sectional study using a semistructured interview with preceptors in Pediatrics. This study included 40 (67,8%) of 59 preceptors, 80,0% women, mean age 45,3±12,5years, permanence in the Program 11,9±10,9 years, 18 (45,0%) with ≤5 years as preceptor; 18 (45,0%) reported no teacher training; 18 (45,0%) deliver/discuss syllabus. Most stress-generating rotations were urgency/emergency, pediatric intensive care unit, hospital shifts and clinical case presentations. For 8 (20.0%) preceptors, the resident physician presents a lower interest in attending the Program; 31 (77,5%) greater interest in practical activities; 18 ...

Methodsː A cross-sectional analytical study with children and adolescents referred to a gastroenterology service and underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at a hospital in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, from 2001 to 2013. Variables analyzed were the following: sex, age, macro and microscopic alterations and severity of infestation. The Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests and adjusted residue analysis were used (α = 5%). Resultsː the prevalence of infection was 24.4%. Esophagitis (29.4%) and gastritis (34.1%) were associated with HP. The life cycle was associated with esophagitis and duodenitis. Infection was associated with life cycle: infants (0.8%), preschool children (10.5%), school-aged children (16.5%), and adolescents (72.2%). The residues showed a strong ass...

Penile neoplasms have a high risk of not only morbidity and mortality but also important psychosocial repercussions.Objective: To describe the epidemiology of penile neoplasms in Brazil. Method: This was an epidemiological, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data on all the notified cases of penile neoplasms in Brazil between 1985 and 2015 were obtained from RCPBP/INCA and DATASUS databases.Results: Of 9 625 notified cases of penile neoplasms, a higher proportion of cancer patients was observed among patients aged between 40 and 70 years (63.5%) and among smokers (21%), in Brown and Caucasian patients (80%), those who were married (54.2%), had high alcohol intake levels (16%) and with lower levels of education: illiterate people (21.5%), those with incomplete elementary school education (36.6%) and those with complete elementary school education (10.3%). The lesions were located in the g...

A cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical, retrospective, documental study with a quantitative approach was performed. Analysis of 594 medical records revealed that cardiovascular diseases accounted for 26.8% of hospitalizations among older adults, followed by neoplasia 20.2% and renal failure 16.8%, and that aspects related to the religiosity and spirituality of the older adults were not considered. There was agreement of 1.0 between the PCST and PPS scales, as measured by the Kappa test, a score considered to be perfect. The PCST can therefore be considered an excellent tool for the evaluation of palliative care among older adu...

Toma como referência a concepção heideggeriana de morte, na qual o homem, ao reconhecer a morte como algo irremissível e insuperável, poderá se abrir para sua autenticidade, rompendo o modo de alienação existencial característico da sociedade contemporânea. No ambiente hospitalar, tanto quanto na sociedade em geral, a morte, muitas vezes negada, evoca diversos sentimentos e formas de comportamento. As afecções por ela provocadas são diversas, assim como os modos revelados de lidar com sua existência real e concreta. Em sua prática profissional, o trabalhador da saúde desenvolve ações reveladoras de diferentes modos de enfrentar e lidar com a morte, o que favorece a aquisição de aprendizagens significativas e demanda a efetivação de um espaço pedagógico educacional que auxilie o profission...
