OBJETIVO: Determinar as propriedades psicométricas da versão oficial em português do Brasil de Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) em uma amostra representativa de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros com asma. MÉTODOS: Um total de 125 participantes com asma, com idades de 8-17 e monitorados em um ambulatório pediátrico de pneumologia em Porto Alegre (RS), responderam o PAQLQ. A validade foi avaliada através de validade convergente (correlação entre os domínios do PAQLQ e os domínios do Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0). A confiabilidade foi avaliada através da consistência interna (coeficiente alfa de Cronbach), reprodutibilidade (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse), sensibilidade a mudança (tamanho do efeito) e discriminação (efeitos mínimo/máximo). RESULTADOS: A idade média foi de 11 anos, e 75 (60%) eram meninos. A média do escore global do PAQLQ foi de 5.1, com efeitos mínimo/máximo < 10%. As correlações com os domínios do PedsQL 4.0 foram aceitáveis (r = 0,37-0,40). O coeficiente alfa de Cronbach do escore global foi 0,93, variando de 0,72 a 0,88 nos domínios. O tamanho do efeito global foi de 0,60 (variação: 0,45-0,60), e a correlação intraclasse global foi de 0,80 (variação: 0,66-0,79). CONCLUSÕES: A versão oficial em português do Brasil do PAQLQ demonstrou boa performance psicométrica do instrumento, confirmando sua adequação para uso no contexto cultural brasileiro.

Background: Aim of this study was to evaluate the role of physical rehabilitation to improve the quality of life (QOL) of people after kidney transplantation. Patients and methods: Analyzes the results of treatment of 57 recipients (mean age 35±9,65 years) donor kidney at different times of the postoperative period. Depending on the physical rehabilitation program allocated 3 groups of patients: group II — physical rehabilitation was carried out only in the first week after surgery to prevent early postoperative complications, in group I — during the year; in group III combined 30 relatively healthy people do not need an organ transplant and with a mean age 33,7±8,7 years, leading a normal life, not engaged in regular recreational physical culture. Quality of life was assessed using a questionnaire SF36 at 1, 3, 6 and a 12 months after surgery. Results: One year after surgery in both groups compared with preoperative indicators marked improvement according to all scales of the questionnaire. However, in group I indicators of quality of life were higher than in group II from 11,4 to 19,7%, and even some items questionnaire SF-36 is higher than in group III which is associated with the physical rehabilitation. Conclusion: It has been shown that exercises is an important component of treatment and rehabilitation after kidney transplantation and help improve both the psychological and the physical component of quality of life.

Mild Persistent Asthma

Bronchial asthma – a chronic relapsing disease that affects 1-18 % of the population in various countries worldwide, die annually around 250,000 people. Asthma worsens quality of life, reduced exercise tolerance, causing respiratory dysfunction and poor physical condition of patients. The aim of research is to study the role of physical activity for rehabilitation of patients suffered from mild persistent asthma during their treatment at hospital. The study involved 30 patients being in hospital due to the exacerbation of asthmatic disease. To compare the effectiveness of the proposed physical rehabilitation program was formed two control groups of 30 patients who used medication and only with traditional methods of exercise. The average age of patients was 35,41 ± 1,05 years. Groups were formed by randomization patients were compared by sex and age. Monitoring the rehabilitation process conducted by the current and landmark controls, which ensure adequate treatment expansion and intensification of physical activity each patient. The program of physical rehabilitation is based on the survey results of patients, paying attention to their functional state, rapid assessment of health and physical features of the disease. The basis of the program was a gradual expansion of physical activity of patients. When building sessions followed a certain sequence purpose of physical training, which consisted of three parts: introduction, main and final. Used have morning hygienic gymnastics and gymnastics, independent study, individually and in small groups. One of the popular methods of training both in-patient and outpatient basis, was walking up the stairs. The second half of the course of rehabilitation systems used cyclic exercises. The use of dosed physical activity while physical rehabilitation of patients suffered from mild persistent asthma has improved functional status of their cardiovascular and respiratory systems, physical performance, quality of life, helped to control the disease.

Abstract Background The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) is a modular instrument, designed to integrate generic and disease specific measures, and includes both self- and proxy-reports. The aim of the study was to assess the reliability and limited validity of the Swedish version of the disease specific Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.0 Cancer Module Scales (PedsQL 3.0), in a sample of Swedish children diagnosed with cancer. Method A total of 94 families at The Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital, Sahlgrenska University participated in the study. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scales (PedsQL 4.0) and the PedsQL 3.0 were administered to 63 children (aged 5–18 years) with cancer and to 94 parents of children with cancer aged 2–18 years. Results The internal consistency of the PedsQL 3.0, reached or exceeded Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.70 for both -self- and proxy-reports. The PedsQL 4.0 and PedsQL 3.0 were highly correlated (r = 0.94 for proxy-reports and r = 0.91 for self-reports), indicating convergent validity. Conclusion PedsQL 3.0 Cancer Module Scales can be used as a valuable tool for measuring cancer-specific HRQOL in child populations, both in research and in clinical practice.

The role of psychological factors in the occurrence of Cardiovascular Disorder has been, widely excepted. CVD is a family of diseases that includes hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke. The present study is an attempt to investigate the role of optimism on quality of life among Cardiovascular Disorder patients. 100 patients were comprised as the sample for this investigation. The sample further categorized in terms of gender i.e. male and female. LOT – Revised version of the original LOT (Scheier & Carver 1992) and World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire-short version (WHOQOL-BREF) of the WHOQOL-100 SCALE (The WHOQOL Group, 1993a; 1993b) were used. The data will be analyzed by using appropriate statistical techniques. It is expected that optimism will improve the quality of life among cardiovascular disorder patients.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar se o instrumento genérico Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0) é aplicável à avaliação da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) de crianças asmáticas, quando comparado ao instrumento específico Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ). Métodos: Foram avaliadas 30 crianças com idade entre sete e onze anos de idade e diagnóstico de asma havia, pelo menos, seis meses. Ambos os questionários foram respondidos no mesmo dia, por meio de entrevista. Os dados foram analisados com o auxílio do Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 20.0, atribuindo-se o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Não ocorreram diferenças significativas na qualidade de vida das crianças avaliadas de acordo os sexos. As crianças asmáticas classificadas como praticantes e não praticantes de atividade física obtiveram escores significativamente diferentes no domínio relacionado à saúde física (PedsQL 4.0). Crianças com diferentes níveis de gravidade e controle da asma apresentaram diferenças significativas nos escores obtidos em dois dos três domínios avaliados por meio do PAQLQ. Ao serem avaliadas com o instrumento PedsQL 4.0, nenhuma diferença significativa foi observada na qualidade de vida das crianças com diferentes níveis de controle e gravidade da asma. As medidas de qualidade de vida de crianças asmáticas obtidas pelos instrumentos PedsQL 4.0 e PAQLQ apresentaram correlação moderada e significativa (r=0,415, p=0,02). Conclusões: O instrumento PedsQL 4.0 diferenciou as crianças com diferentes níveis de atividade física. No entanto, ele não foi sensível para diferenciar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde em crianças com diferentes níveis de gravidade e controle da asma.
