Questionnaire Validity

Introdução: O questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) tem sido amplamente utilizado nas pesquisas. É considerado uma boa ferramenta de medição de Atividade Física (AF), no entanto, este questionário não é específico para idosos, geralmente, é aplicado à população em geral. Objetivo: Realizar uma Revisão Integrativa  da Literatura apresentando os estudos que investigaram a validade do IPAQ na avaliação de AF em idosos nos últimos seis anos. Métodos: Foi realizada uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura nas bases de dados PUBMED, BVS e SCOPUS, relativa aos anos de 2014 a 2020, utilizando-se os descritores: Elderly, Aged, IPAQ questionnaire validity, Physical Activity e Exercise. Resultados: Foram selecionados oito artigos cuja metodologia apresenta a validade do IPAQ, na avaliação em idosos com idade ≥65 anos. Seis dos artigos selecionados apresentaram em suas metodologias a avaliação realizada pelo IPAQ-L (versão longa), e apenas dois artigos apresentaram IPAQ-S (versão curta). Conclusão: O IPAQ- L tem sido amplamente utilizado para avaliar os níveis de AF e comportamento sedentário (CS) em idosos. As evidências demonstram que a aplicação do questionário combinado com os dados do acelerômetro, tem mostrado medições satisfatórias, no entanto, futuras versões devem ser estruturadas para atender a este público específico.

To evaluate causes, diagnostic, treatment features of constipation in the primary care. Methods: was made random interviews of people between 20-80 years old. For interview was used questionnaire of KESS (The Knowles- Eccersley- Scott- Symptom scoring system) for the diagnostic of constipation and 13 questions to assess the risks. The pilot testing of questionnaire validity was carried out, the overall Cronbach alpha coefficient is 0.978. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and SPSS 13.0 for Windows data packets. Results. Was interviewed 320 people, of which 33.13% were established constipations. The average duration of constipation ranged from 18 month up 5 years. The average age of patients with constipation was 56±14.99 years and the healthy group- 41±14.20 years (p0,05). No differences were observed between man and women (p>0.05). Educational groups incidence of constipation was: high education – 29.19%, secondary – 30.3% and basic – 70.37%. We found, that most respondents eat irregularly, 3-4 times per day. We found, that increased fiber food usage, higher intake of fluid was correlated with lower incidence of constipation, as well as higher levels of physical activity or related chronic diseases (p 0.05). In assessing treatment, laxatives was used by 132 respondents, including 75.76% of patients with constipation and enemas was used by 53 respondents, including 94.43% of patients with constipation. Observed that only 62.26% of patients with constipation reported seeing a physician and 96.23% are treated independently. Conclusions: Purposefully interview of patients observed there is a high incidence of constipation. Differences of morbidity between genders are not observe, different than age and education groups. Not all investigated risk factors affect the incidence of constipation increased; mostly affects the small fluid, fiber food intake, physical activity and related chronic diseases. Patients are not give importance to this issue, and so thats why they do not seek a physician often and are treated independently.
