ABSTRACT Patients with previous myocardial infarction and stroke are the highest risk group for further coronary and cerebral events. myocardial infarction alters physical, psychosocial, spiritual well-being and adversely affects overall quality of life This study aimed to determine the effect of age and the quality of life among myocardial infarction patients. This study utilized descriptive correlational research with cross sectional approach. The study utilized set of instruments, an adapted instrument of MacNew Quality of Life After Myocardial Infarction (MacNew QLMI) questionnaire to measure the quality of life myocardial infarction. The results of this study were obtained middle age group were 66,7 %. Quality of life for physical domain has an average weighted mean of 4.51. the results of the data analysis using the Mann Whitney test were obtained emotional domain p=0,995 (p<0,05), physical domain p=0,624 (p<0,05), social domain p=0,191 (p<0,05). It means that the age does not influence the quality of life of patients with Myocardial Infarction. Keywords: Age, Quality of Life, Myocardial infarction

RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar os determinantes da autoavaliação do estado de saúde de hipertensos. Método: estudo quantiqualitativo, de campo observacional, com hipertensos com idade superior aos 40 anos e risco cardiovascular estratificado. Os dados foram coletados com consulta aos prontuários, questionário e entrevista semiestruturada, Foi utilizada a técnica de Análise de conteúdo na modalidade Análise Categorial temática. Resultados: 19 (54%) participantes avaliaram sua saúde como ruim, sendo que 13 (54%) mulheres e 6 (55%) homens não estavam satisfeitas com o seu estado de saúde. Dentre os aspectos mencionados na entrevista para determinar a autoavaliação de saúde, 39% eram do domínio físico, 35% eram do domínio comportamental, 22% do domínio funcional e o domínio do bem-estar, que foi o menos mencionado, foi citado por 2%. Conclusão: os resultados demonstram o caráter multidimensional da auto percepção do estado de saúde a alta incidência de auto percepção negativa se deve às características metodológicas deste estudo. Os aspectos do domínio físico foram os mais prevalentes, evidenciando o predomínio da visão biomédica no grupo estudado.

Method: this is a quantitative and qualitative, observational field study with hypertensive patients over 40 years old and stratified cardiovascular risk. The data were collected with consultation to the medical records, questionnaire, and semi-structured interview. The Content Analysis technique was used in the category Categorical Analysis modality. Results: there were 19 (54%) participants rated their health as poor, 13 (54%) women and 6 (55%) men were not satisfied with their health status. Among the aspects mentioned in the interview to determine health self-assessment, 39% were from the physical domain, 35% were from the behavioral domain, 22% from the functional domain and the domain of well-being, which was the least mentioned, was cited by 2 %. Conclusion: the results demonstrate the multidimensional nature of the self-perception of the health state the high incidence of negative self-perception is due to the methodological characteristics of this study. The aspects of the physical domain were the most prevalent, evidencing the predominance of the biomedical vision in the studied group.

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

Because of the increasing number of transgender people requesting speech-language pathology services, because having gender-incongruent voice and communication has major negative impacts on an individual's social participation and well-being, and because voice and communication training is supported by an improving evidence-base, it is becoming more common for universities to include transgender-specific theoretical and clinical components in their speech-language pathology programs. This paper describes the theoretical and clinical education provided to speech-language pathology students at La Trobe University in Australia, with a particular focus on the voice and communication training program offered by the La Trobe Communication Clinic. Further research is required to determine the outcomes of the clinic's training program in terms of student confidence and competence as well as the effectiveness of training for transgender clients.

Current research on feeding outcomes after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) suggests a need to critically look at the early underpinnings of persistent feeding problems in extremely preterm infants. Concepts of dynamic systems theory and sensitive care-giving are used to describe the specialized needs of this fragile population related to the emergence of safe and successful feeding and swallowing. Focusing on the infant as a co-regulatory partner and embracing a framework of an infant-driven, versus volume-driven, feeding approach are highlighted as best supporting the preterm infant's developmental strivings and long-term well-being.
