The concept of professional identity is widely described, indicating that it is dynamic and variable, as it simultaneously includes the development and formation of professional identity in the dimensions of time and content. Professional identity manifests in various forms and it is measured by a variety of measurement tools.Objective: to define what measurement tools are used to determine the professional identity of psychological help providers and to investigate the content of professional identity. Method: a rapid literature review. A comprehensive search of scientific databases Access Medicine, Clinical Key, EBSCO e-books, Proquest Ebook Central, BMJ Journals, EBSCO host, ProQuest, SAGE journals, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct, DynaMed Plus and Cochrane Library was conducted in March, 2020 by two independent researchers therefore assuring data triangulation. Database research included the keywords “professional identity”, “scale”, “measure”, with the Boolean operator “AND” adding professions: “art therapist”, “dance and movement therapist”, “drama therapist”, “music therapist”, “psychologist”, “psychiatrist”, “psychotherapist”, “nurse”, “social worker”, and additional selection criteria - cross-sectional design studies about the measure of professional identity of different groups of psychological help providers and students, between 2009 and 2019, with full English text available. Data analysis method was narrative synthesis, which consists of three sequential steps: description of studies in logical categories, analysis of data from each of the derived categories, and synthesized conclusions for all included studies. 366 studies were identified of which 21 were included in the study.Results: as a result, 15 categories including 50 content items were identified as the measurement aspects of professional identity.

COVID-19 represents a threat to public health and the mental health of the aged population. Prevalence and risk factors of depression and anxiety have been reported in previous reviews in other populations; however, a systematic review on the factors associated with depression and anxiety in older adults is not currently present in the literature. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest Psychology Database, Science Direct, Cochrane Library and SciELO databases (23 February 2021). The results were obtained by entering a combination of MeSH or Emtree terms with keywords related to COVID-19, elderly, depression and anxiety in the databases. A total of 11 studies were included in the systematic review. Female gender, loneliness, poor sleep quality and poor motor function were identified as factors associated with both depression and anxiety. Aspects related to having a stable and high monthly income represent protective factors for both depression and anxiety, and exercising was described as protective for depression. This study synthesised information and analysed the main factors associated with depression and anxiety in the older population during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the cross-sectional design of most of the included studies does not allow a causal relationship between the factors analysed and depression or anxiety.

AbstractAthletes train on a pre-determined training schedule. Scheduled behaviors are difficult to become “addictive” because urges and cravings cannot be scheduled. Still, many scholars think that elite or competitive athletes can become addicted to their sport or exercise. The aim of this systematic literature review was to analyze scholastic papers on exercise addiction in athletes with a special view on their focus and prevalence estimates. Four databases were scrutinized, including PsycINFO, PubMed/Medline, Crossref, and ScienceDirect, which resulted in 17 eligible articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The bulk of these studies compared athletes to non-athletes and employed a cross-sectional design. Their results suggest that the risk of exercise addiction is greater in athletes than non-athletes, along with a prevalence rate of up to >40%, which is ten times greater than that reported in a population-wide study. These findings are in discord with the definition and conceptualization of exercise addiction, which, according to previous calls, begs for the urgent clearer conceptualization of exercise addiction.

Abstract: Migraine is one of the primary headaches that often causes moderate to severe disability. One of the most commonly consumed psychoactive substances associated with migraine is caffeine. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between migraine and caffeine thoroughly based on various studies. This was a literature review study using databases of Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Garuda. The eligibility criteria for this study were observational research articles or clinical trials, written in Indonesian or English, published in the last five years, and their fulltexts could be accessed. The results obtained 10 articles. Almost all of them showed that caffeine could cause migraine whether after caffeine consumption (non-absent group) or no consumption of caffeine (absent group). The association of caffeine with migraine was more significant than with tension headaches. Besides being a trigger factor of migraine, caffeine cpuld also act as a migraine therapy. In conclusion, there is a close association between migraine and caffeine. Migraine tends to be triggered than to be reduced by caffeine.Keywords: caffeine, migraine  Abstrak: Migrain merupakan salah satu jenis nyeri kepala primer yang sering menyebabkan disabilitas sedang dan berat.

Abstract Background and Aims The use of ultrasound in physiotherapy helps to increase the precision and effectiveness of different techniques and provide a more objective assessment. Standardized clinical practice guidelines are needed to enable an appropriate reproducibility. The aims of this study were to perform a literature review to identify studies using ultrasound for the assessment of peroneal muscles. Also, to establish whether reliable and reproducible assessment protocols exist, and analyze these protocols to determine both reliability as well as methodology. Material and Methods A literature search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, PEDro and ScienceDirect databases over the last 10 years (2009-2018). The descriptors "Ultrasonography" and "Peroneus Muscle" were used, restricting the search to publications in English and Spanish for studies performed in humans.The two main researchers revised the results and selected those that were most relevant. The data were then extracted individually and blindly. The third researcher shared the data obtained, verifying the exactness of the same and commenting the differences. There were no disagreements. Results Initially, 92 studies were retrieved. After the analysis of the title, abstract and full-text (when necessary), 12 studies were selected for the analysis. Seven studies used ultrasound in B mode. In total, 10 morphometric descriptors were identified. Eight descriptors presented a very good reliability (CCI >90) and two descriptors had good reliability (CCI 0.71-0.90). Of the measurements performed in the cross-sectional plane, the cross-sectional area (CSA) and circular perimeter (CP) demonstrated a CCI >90 both in the analysis of the peroneus longus as well as the peroneus brevis, jointly or individually. The measurements of the CSA and CP demonstrated a CCI between 0.71-0.90 when these were performed upon the connective tissue of these muscles. The measurement of the anterior-posterior thickness presented a CCI >90. In the longitudinal plane, the measurement of muscle thickness presented a CCI >90. Five studies employed elastography to analyze muscle stiffness using Shear Wave Elastography and providing very good CCI results (>0.90) or good results (0.71-0.90) in peroneus muscles. Only one study reported a moderate CCI (0.51-0.70) for the measurement of the peroneus brevis. Sufficient data were obtained to perform a standardized measurement protocol based on good or very good reliability criteria. Conclusions It is possible to perform a sonographic exploration with reliability and reproducibility in the peroneal muscles for descriptors in B mode. Although some studies analyzed echogenicity, the authors recognized that this technique depends on the echographer and the operator and values of reliability are not reported. Although shear wave elastography has demonstrated to be reproducible, with moderate to good reliability, further studies are required to enable an objective interpretation of these results in clinical practice.

Abstract: Dental caries is a dental health problem that often affects children aged 6-12 years. Children who have bad habits in maintaining oral hygiene are at greater risk to suffer from dental caries. A good habit that can be developed to obtain a good behavior is tooth brushing. The behavior of tooth brushing in children can be influenced by many things, inter alia intrimsic or extrinsic motivation. This study was aimed to determine whether there was an extrinsic motivation on tooth brushing behavior among elementary school students. This was a literature review study using databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Indonesia Onesearch. There were five literatures with cross-sectional design used in this study. The results showed that extrinsic motivation could influence the tooth brushing behavior of the students. Parents and teachers had a major role in influencing the students for tooth brushing behavior. In conclusion, there is an influence of extrinsic motivation on children's tooth brushing behavior.Keywords: motivation, behavior, tooth brushing, children Abstrak: Karies gigi merupakan masalah gigi yang sering menyerang anak usia 6-12 tahun.

Background: The global eradication of polio is considered an emergency and an unaccomplished task until completely eliminated. Vaccinating children against the polio virus confers immunity on them and breaks the transmission of the polio virus. Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan remain the only three countries in the world that have not eliminated polio. The aims of this paper were to: (1) to identify the factors that impact the failure to eliminate polio from Nigeria and (2) determine the factors that led to the successful elimination of polio from India. Methodology: A systematic literature review was carried out to meet the above research objectives. Methods: Four electronic databases were searched (Cochrane Library, Medline, PubMed and Google Scholar) and articles that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and critically appraised. Results: In all, 98 articles were retrieved. After selection based on our selection criteria, fourteen studies were identified and included in the study. These were 5 systematic reviews: 3 cross-sectional studies, 3 mixed methods studies, 2 case-control studies and one quantitative (survey) study. In all, seven themes were identified from the review of the articles. Four themes were identified from the factors associated with the failure to eliminate polio from Nigeria: (1) Failure of the oral polio vaccine (OPV); (2) Institutional and geographical failures in vaccine programs; (3) Program and campaign management limitations; and (4) Vaccine refusal. Similarly, three themes were identified from the factors that contributed to the elimination of polio from India: (1) Replacement of the trivalent OPV with the monovalent and bivalent OPVs; (2) Implementation of intensive social mobilization strategies; and (3) Effective program micro planning and campaign management. Conclusion: Based on the findings from the literature review, we highlight areas where Nigeria can learn from India in its quest to eliminate polio. These factors can form the basis for future theoretical and policy reforms in the fight against polio not only in Nigeria but in countries where it remains endemic. Further research should compare the success of polio eradication in other countries.

ObjectivesTo summarise current data on the value of imaging to guide interventional procedures in patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMDs) informing an European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology taskforce.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to retrieve prospective and retrospective studies published in English and comparing different (imaging) techniques, different settings and procedural protocols to guide interventions in patients with RMDs. MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and Epistemonikos databases were searched through October 2021. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane RoB tool for randomised trials V.2 (ROB2), the RoB tool for Non-Randomised Studies of Interventions and the appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies.ResultsSixty-six studies were included (most with moderate/high RoB); 49 were randomised controlled trials, three prospective cohort studies and 14 retrospective studies. Fifty-one studies compared either one imaging technique with another imaging technique, or with palpation-guided interventions. Ultrasound (US) was most frequently studied (49/51), followed by fluoroscopy (10/51). Higher accuracy was found for US or fluoroscopy compared with palpation-guided interventions. Studies comparing different imaging techniques (12/51) did not endorse one specific method. Different settings/equipment for imaging-guided procedures (eg, automatic vs manual syringes) were investigated in three studies, reporting heterogeneous results. Fifteen studies compared different imaging-guided procedures (eg, intra-articular vs periarticular injections).ConclusionHigher accuracy of needle positioning at joints and periarticular structures was seen in most studies when using imaging (especially US) guidance as compared with palpation-guided interventions with the limitation of heterogeneity of data and considerable RoB.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n1p1 The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to identify barriers to PA in children. This is a validation study with observational and cross-sectional design. The population consisted of students aged 06-09 years from the city of Uruguaiana/RS. The instrument content was obtained by theoretical matrix, constructed from the literature review and the assessment of barriers through open questions applied by proxy report (n=100) and focus groups conducted with parents/guardians and children. It is a questionnaire consisting of 29 closed questions. After testing the instrument clarity, its implementation was carried out (n = 293) to verify the construct validity and internal consistency. After one week, parents/guardians were asked to answer the questionnaire retest reliability (n = 168) to verify the agreement. Exploratory factor analysis distributed the 29 questions in six factors, with total variance of 55.6%. All items that have defined the factors obtained load greater than 0.4 and eingenvalues above 1.0. In the internal consistency analysis, item-total correlations ranged from 0.23 to 0.64 and the total alpha value was 0.90. Reproducibility values ranged from 0.43 to 0.78. Twenty-four questions met all the criteria adopted for the study. It was concluded that the instrument developed has adequate validity and reliability for the identification of barriers to PA in schoolchildren aged 06-09 years.
