Health And Well Being

This study aimed to get to know the perceptions of undergraduate students from the University of São Paulo College of Nursing about physical exercise as an instrument to maintain health and well being. Data were collected through the application of a questionnaire in class, involving 122 undergraduate students. In this group, 52.23% believed that physical exercise should only be recommended to people with health problems. Only 8% thought that exercise can prevent diseases, and only 6.61% uses protection equipment. Therefore, we concluded that nursing students need to be better prepared to be able to intervene correctly as professionals.

Analisa a realização de um concurso de robustez infantil em São Paulo em 1928 e relatado na revista O Brasil de Amanhã. O concurso, pela via do discurso oficial vigente, mostrava intenções igualitárias ao aceitar entre os concorrentes as crianças de todas as raças e sexos, desde que fossem robustas, saudáveis e seguissem os padrões de desenvolvimento físico e mental exigido. Inseria, ao mesmo tempo, uma visão de maternidade dedicada a alocar às mães a responsabilidade pela saúde e bem-estar de seus filhos, construindo uma imagética social voltada para o desempenho do papel materno e a nobreza dessa missão. Palavras-chave: robustez infantil, maternidade, imagem feminina. Abstract The work analyzes a child robustness contest in São Paulo, in 1928, reported in the magazine O Brasil de Amanhã.

Aim: To analyze the empathizing and systemizing profiles of Brazilian and Portuguese nursing undergraduates. Background: Empathy is a fundamental skill for nursing practice and should be analyzed during the student’s education. Methods: Descriptive study with cross-sectional design. Participants were 968 undergraduate students, including 215 (22.2%) Brazilians from a university in the state of São Paulo and 753 (77.8%) Portuguese students from a higher education institution in central Portugal. The Portuguese and Brazilian versions of the Empathizing/Systemizing Quotient have good internal consistency and reliability. Ethical considerations: In Brazil, approval for the study was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing (protocol 191/2016) and in Portugal, from the Ethics Committee of the Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing, Coimbra Higher School of Nursing (protocol P362-09/2016). Results: Most (86%) participants were female and aged between 20 and 24 years. In the general profile analysis between both groups, the domains “Social Skills,” “Contents,” and “Processes” scored higher. Gender differences exist for the feeling of empathy and systemizing, as women scored better on the short version of the Empathy Quotient and men on the Systemizing Quotient. Conclusion: As demonstrated in the domain scores for “Social Skills,” “Contents,” and “Processes,” the undergraduate nursing students analyzed have the ability to deal intuitively and spontaneously with social situations; they are also characterized as methodical people, who like to follow rules, and experience practice better than theory, and the women have a higher empathetic level than men, who in turn are more systemizing.

The present study aimed to identify which term is more frequently used by nursing students - user, client or patient - and also to acknowledge the collective understanding of each term. This prospective, quantitative-qualitative research was conducted at the Nursing School of the University of São Paulo with students from all Nursing Baccalaureate years. From the 215 students approached by the study, 162 responded to the question. Of this number, 60% used the term "user" most frequently. Regardless the term employed in healthcare practice, it is important to highlight that the common concepts of autonomy and health service must be respected as a right, while the inhumane relationship and passiveness must be ousted in the dialogic relationship established between healthcare professionals and users-clients-patients.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the rate of drug use prevalence and to investigate opinions regarding such use among undergraduate students at the University of São Paulo - São Paulo campus in 1996 and again in 2001. METHODS: Both studies followed the same procedures of sampling and data collection. A random sample of undergraduate students, divided into the areas Humanities, Exact Sciences and Biologic Sciences, responded to an anonymous and self-report survey regarding the use of licit and illicit drugs within the last 30 days, within the last 12 months and over the lifetime of the subject. The two surveys were compared through the construction of (95%) confidence intervals for the prevalence differences for each substance by area and by total number of students. The Wald test for homogeneity was applied in order to compare the prevalences. RESULTS: High approval of regularly trying and using cocaine, crack, amphetamines and inhalants was observed. The drugs that showed statistic significant increasing were:lifetime use: alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalants, hallucinogens, amphetamines, anticholines, barbiturics and any illicit drug;last-12-month use: marijuana, inhalants, amphetamines, hallucinogens and any illicit drug;last-30-day use: marijuana, inhalants, amphetamines and any illicit drug. DISCUSSON: The observed difference in the use of some drugs between the two surveys appears to be a consequence of the higher rates of favorable opinions regarding trying and regularly using some psychoactive substances, a finding that mirrors global trends in drug use.

Health And Well Being

Frequent exposure to green space has been linked to positive health and well-being in varying populations. Yet, there is still limited research exploring the restorative benefits associated with differing types of green space use among students living in the university setting. To address this gap, we explored green space use amongst a population of undergraduate students (n = 207) attending a university with abundant opportunities to access the restorative properties of nature. The purpose of this study was to examine the type and frequency of green space interactions that are most strongly associated with indicators of health and well-being, and investigate student characteristics associated with frequent use of green space. Results revealed that students who frequently engage with green spaces in active ways report higher quality of life, better overall mood, and lower perceived stress. Passive green space interactions were not strongly associated with indicators of health and well-being. Having had daily interactions with green space in childhood was associated with frequent green space use as a university student, and identified barriers to green space use included “not enough time,” and “not aware of opportunities” These results could assist in the tailoring of “green exercise” interventions conducted in the university setting.

ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize the experiences of undergraduate students of the School of Nursing of the University of São Paulo (EEUSP) who participated in international mobility programs between January 2011 and July 2017. Method: Exploratory, descriptive study with quantitative approach. Of 68 reports, only 38 (56%) were considered valid and were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. Data were categorized in general, institutional, academic and cultural aspects and cost of living. Results: The main destination was Portugal and the years with most participation were 2012 and 2013. The mean stay was six months and the students took a mean of three to four courses. The main funder was the university of origin. Conclusion: Academic activities were limited to theoretical and practical courses, with little insertion in research. There is a need to increase investment in learning other languages and to expand partnerships with larger centers of foreign education and research.

Dentre os benefícios oriundos do engajamento dos acadêmicos universitários em projetos de extensão, destaca-se o fortalecimento do papel social e da cidadania, com o aprimoramento de habilidades e competências aprendidas em sua trajetória acadêmica. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar as experiências vividas por alunos de graduação e de pós-graduação da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto como monitores de um projeto de extensão universitária denominado “Programa Universitário Por Um Dia”, criado em 2016 mediante parceria da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (EERP-USP) com as Pró-Reitorias de Graduação e de Cultura e Extensão Universitária da USP. Diante dos relatos obtidos, os universitários arrolados no Programa tiveram a oportunidade de fortalecer suas habilidades de falar em público, organizar suas apresentações, aprimorar o relacionamento interpessoal com outros alunos, exercitar a capacidade de resolução de problemas, treinar a didática e organização pessoal. Durante a pandemia do COVID-19, as atividades do programa continuaram de maneira remota, onde os monitores colocaram todos seus aprendizados em prática e necessitaram adaptar os conteúdos. Essas atividades e desafios contribuíram para a construção diária das responsabilidades e consolidação profissional dos universitários e futuros docentes. Um dos indicadores de sucesso deste programa foi o ingresso na EERP-USP de três alunos do ensino médio, que visitaram o programa, e se tornaram monitores. Palavras-chave: Ensino Superior; Inclusão Social; Extensão Universitária; Oratória; Educação Básica Reports of undergraduate and postgraduate students in nursing from a university inclusion program Abstract: Among the benefits arising from the engagement of university students in extension projects, the strengthening of the social role and citizenship stands out, with the improvement of skills and competencies learned in their academic trajectory. This paper aims to report the experiences of undergraduate and graduate students at the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing as monitors of a university extension project called "University for a Day Program," created in 2016 through a partnership with the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing at the University of São Paulo (EERP-USP) with the Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Culture and University Extension at USP. Based on the reports obtained, the university students enrolled in the Program had the opportunity to strengthen their public speaking skills, organize their presentations, improve their interpersonal relationships with other students, exercise their problem-solving skills, train didactics and personal organization. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Program's activities continued remotely, where monitors put all their learning into practice and needed to adapt the contents. These activities and challenges contributed to the daily construction of responsibilities and professional consolidation of university students and future teachers. One of the success indicators of this Program was the entry into the EERP-USP of three high school students who visited the Program and became monitors.

A inclusão representa um desafio em todas as modalidades de ensino, desde a Educação Infantil até o Ensino Superior. Torna-se, desse modo, fundamental entender as diferenças e as especificidades das pessoas com deficiência para implantação de modelos educativos inclusivos em cada modalidade de ensino. Este artigo teve como objetivo identificar e analisar, a partir do ponto de vista dos estudantes com deficiência, os fatores que dificultam a permanência nas instituições de ensino superior e, eventualmente, promovem a evasão nesta modalidade de ensino. O estudo proposto foi de natureza qualitativa, em recorte transversal. A pesquisa foi realizada em duas universidades localizadas numa cidade de médio porte do interior do estado de São Paulo, sendo uma pública e outra privada. Após a definição dos critérios para recrutamento dos participantes, sete universitários com deficiência aceitaram participar voluntariamente da pesquisa. Os instrumentos utilizados foram entrevistas semiestruturadas e a entrevista reflexiva, sendo que os dados obtidos foram analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicaram que diversas práticas no interior da universidade podem estar associadas à exclusão, variando de questões objetivas, como a ausência de recursos adaptados e barreiras arquitetônicas, a aspectos relacionais, como a presença de preconceito e resignação dos próprios estudantes com deficiência. Desse modo, apesar do notório aumento de estudantes com deficiência no ensino superior, este estudo revelou que ainda existem necessidades de mudanças significativas na cultura institucional para que a inclusão seja, de fato, uma realidade nas universidades. Palavras-chave: Estudantes com Deficiência. Ensino Superior. Inclusão. Permanência. AbstractInclusion represents a challenge in all levels of teaching, from early childhood to higher education systems. Based on that, it is essential to understand the differences and specificities of people with disabilities for the implementation of inclusive educational models in each teaching modality. This article aimed to evaluate, from the point of view of undergraduate students with disabilities, the challenges they face to stay in the university and the factor that may be associated to drop off the institution. Using a qualitative approach, the research was conducted within two universities located in a medium-sized city in São Paulo state. After defining the criteria for recruiting the participants, 7 undergraduate students with disabilities voluntarily accepted to participate in the research. The instruments used were semi-structured interviews and the reflective interviews, and the data gathered from the fieldwork were analyzed through content analysis. Findings pointed out that several practices within the university may be associated with exclusion, ranging from objective issues, such as the absence of adapted resources and architectural barriers, as well as negative relationships which expose them to prejudice. Thus, despite the notorious increase of undergraduate students with disabilities in higher education in Brazil, this study revealed that there are a range of necessary changes to become the universities truly inclusive. Keywords: Students with disabilities; Higher education; Inclusion; Exclusion.

AbstractPurposeThis paper presents the ARQUIGRAFIA project, an open, public and nonprofit, continuous growth web collaborative environment dedicated to Brazilian architectural photographic images.Design/methodology/approachThe ARQUIGRAFIA project promotes the active and collaborative participation among its institutional users (GLAMs, NGOs, laboratories and research groups) and private users (students, professionals, professors, researchers), both can create an account and share their digitized iconographic collections in the same Web environment by uploading their files, indexing, georeferencing and assigning a Creative Commons license.FindingsThe development of users interactions by means of semantic differentials impressions recording on visible plastic-spatial aspects of the architectures in synthetic infographics, as well as by the retrieval of images through an advanced system search based on those impressions parameters. By gamification means, the system often invites users to review images’ in order to improve images’ data accuracy. The pilot project named Open Air Museum that allows users to add audio descriptions to images in situ. An interface for users’ digital curatorship will be soon available.Research limitationsThe ARQUIGRAFIA’s multidisciplinary team gathering professors-researchers, graduate and undergraduate students from the Architecture and Urbanism, Design, Information Science, Computer Science faculties of the University of São Paulo, demands continuous financial resources for grants, for contracting third party services, for the participation in scientific events in Brazil and abroad, and for equipment. Since 2016, significant budget cuts in the University of São Paulo own research funds and in Brazilian federal scientific agencies can compromise the continuity of this project.Practical implicationsThe open source template called +GRAFIA that can freely help other areas of knowledge to build their own visual Web collaborative environments.Originality/valueThe collaborative nature of the ARQUIGRAFIA distinguishes it from institutional image databases on the internet, precisely because it involves a heterogeneous network of collaborators.
