Introdução: Estudos epidemiológicos demonstram elevada prevalência de sinais e/ou sintomas de Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM) na população adulta. Contudo, poucos estudos avaliaram esta disfunção na atenção primária à saúde. Objetivo: Avaliar prevalência de sintomas de DTM, fatores associados e, impacto sobre qualidade de vida em usuários da rede de atenção primária à saúde da cidade de Maceió/AL. Método: Avaliou-se 108 participantes quanto a presença de sintomas de DTM (índice anamnésico DMF),sintomas sugestivos de ansiedade e depressão (escala Hospital Anxiety and Depression- HAD), e sintomas sugestivos de estresse (Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos - ISSL); além da qualidade de vida relacionada a saúde oral, avaliada pela versão resumida do Oral Health-related (OHIP-14). Resultados: 55,6% apresentaram sintomas de DTM e 19,4% exibiram necessidade de tratamento. O sexo feminino e o autorrelato de hábitos parafuncionais foram preditores para os sintomas de DTM, e o estresse e hábitos para a necessidade de tratamento. Os sintomas de DTM, mesmo leves, promoveram impacto negativo sobre a qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Desta forma, os resultados apresentados sugerem necessidade de preparo e organização da rede de atenção à saúde, nos diferentes níveis, para garantir acesso e tratamento adequados aos pacientes com DTM e Dor Orofacial.

Health-related behaviours and psychological distress were examined after kidney transplantation. Patients were evaluated at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after transplantation. Participants completed the Healthy Behaviours Questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. No significant differences in Healthy Behaviours Questionnaire’s total score and psychological comorbidity were observed at three time points. However, there was an increase in drug-consumer habits ( p < 0.05) and a reduction in sedentary lifestyle ( p < 0.05) at 6 months and 1 year. Moreover, at 1 year, post-transplant had increased the harmful health habits ( p < 0.05). In regression analysis, anxiety symptoms were significant predictors of Healthy Behaviours Questionnaire change at a year post-transplantation.

ABSTRACT Background Recurrent aphtous ulcers (RAUs) are of the most painful and common oral mucosal diseases with uncertain etiology including trauma, genetics, stress, immune dysfunction, and vitamin deficiencies. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between oral health impacts, patients’ oral health-related quality of life and anxiety and depression in patients with recurrent aphtous ulcers. Subjects and methods Sixty patients were diagnosed RAU (30 men and 30 women, mean age: 29.5 ± 9.6 years) and sixty controls, who matched the patients with age and gender, participated in this study. Participants completed hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale, oral health impact profile (OHIP-14), and United Kingdom oral health related quality of life measure (OHQoL-UK). The statistically significance levels were set at p . 0.05. Results Both patients and controls reported comparable depression and anxiety scores (p > 0.05). Ulcer patients reported worse oral health impacts and inferior quality of life in comparison to controls (p < 0.001). Among both groups, no relationships were detected between HAD scores on one hand and OHIP and/or OHQoL-UK on the other hand (p > 0.05). Conclusions Recurrent aphthous ulcers increase the negative oral health impacts on patients and consequently cause inferior quality of life. Stressful situations and conditions (including anxiety and depression) were not related to oral health impacts and quality of life in patients with RAUs. How to cite this article Zwiri AMA.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de sinais e sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular (DTM), sua associação com gênero, hábitos parafuncionais, tensão emocional, ansiedade e depressão e, o seu impacto sobre a qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde oral (QVRSO) em estudantes pré-vestibulandos de instituições públicas e privadas de João Pessoa/PB. A presença de sintomas de DTM foi determinada através de questionário anamnésico, contendo também questões relacionadas à presença de hábitos parafuncionais e tensão emocional. Um protocolo simplificado de avaliação clínica foi aplicado. Ansiedade e depressão foram determinadas através da escala Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) e, a QVRSO avaliada por meio da versão resumida do Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Foram realizados testes de Qui-quadrado, Exato de Fisher, Mann Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. A presença de sinais e sintomas de DTM foi estatisticamente associada ao gênero feminino, hábitos parafuncionais, tensão emocional e ansiedade, e representou maior comprometimento da QVRSO. A elevada prevalência de sinais e sintomas de DTM entre os estudantes pré-vestibulandos sinaliza a necessidade de divulgação e esclarecimento de professores e alunos visando o diagnóstico precoce e a prevenção.

Background Up to 35% of cancer patients have clinically significant levels of psychological distress during their treatment. Accordingly, better understanding of health-related quality of life and its predictors will help oncology nurses plan appropriate interventions to improve health-related quality of life. Aims This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between hope, depression and anxiety and health-related quality of life among Jordanian cancer patients during their treatment period. Methods Cross-sectional descriptive correlational design was conducted using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Herth Hope Index and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal surveys. Results 260 Jordanian patients with cancer from three Jordanian hospitals completed the study survey. The bivariate analysis indicated significant positive relationships between hope and quality of life ( r = .57, p < .0001). A significant negative relationship was found between anxiety and depression and quality of life ( r = −.76, p < .0001). A multiple regression analysis indicated that hope, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and time since diagnosis were predictors of quality of life, and explained 66% of the variance in the quality of life for this sample. Conclusions The assessment of psychosocial elements including hope, depression, anxiety, and quality of life should be a part of daily nurse-caring behaviours and practices. Implement education programmes to increase nurses' competencies in the psychosocial assessment are recommended.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Traditional survival outcomes do not reflect the effects on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of patients. HRQL following lung transplantation has not been studied systematically. The Health Utilities Index (HUI) is a family (HUI2 and HUI3) of measures of HRQL that has not been previously used to assess HRQL in lung transplantation. The objective of the present study was to assess the impact of lung transplantation on patient’s HRQL using the HUI.METHODS: A total of 43 patients completed a battery of questionnaires before lung transplantation, and at three months and six months after lung transplantation. The 15-item questionnaire (HUI2 and HUI3) was used. Overall scores were based on a conventional scale (0.00 = dead, 1.00 = perfect health). Mental health was assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Adherence to medication and exercise were assessed by Morisky’s and Godin’s questionnaires, respectively.RESULTS: Sixty-five per cent of the patients were men, with a mean age of 53 years (range 18 to 67 years). The mean overall HUI3 score for the lung transplant candidates (0.57) was much lower than for the lung transplant recipients (0.82) at six months post-transplantation. This difference was clinically important and statistically significant (P<0.05 [pairedttest, degrees of freedom (df) = 35]). Differences in mean Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores after transplantation were statistically significant (P<0.05 [pairedttest, df=35]). After six months, transplant recipients were more adherent to medication (P<0.05 [χ2test, df=1]). Recipients were able to increase the duration of exercise at all levels of intensity.CONCLUSION: Lung transplantation improved the patients’ HRQL and adherence to medication. Anxiety levels persisted six months after transplantation but depression levels had decreased significantly.

Die in mehreren Studien gefundenen kognitiven Störungen bei Tumorpatienten nach Chemotherapie werden zumeist mit der Zytostatikaneurotoxizität assoziiert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Zusammenhang von Angst, Depression und Posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung mit der kognitiven Leistungsfähigkeit bei Frauen mit Mammakarzinom untersucht. Insgesamt wurden 76 Brustkrebspatientinnen fünf Jahre nach Abschluss der onkologischen Behandlung mit neuropsychologischen Testverfahren sowie mit der Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – Deutsche Version (HADS-D) und der Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist – Civilian Version (PCL-C) untersucht: 23 nach Standard- und 24 nach Hochdosistherapie sowie 29 nach Brustoperation und Strahlentherapie als Vergleichsgruppe. Signifikante Zusammenhänge sind vor allem zwischen kognitiven Funktionen und Intrusionssymptomen einer Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS) festzustellen. Bei Patientinnen nach Standardtherapie weisen Intrusionen der PTBS einen moderaten Zusammenhang mit der globalen kognitiven Beeinträchtigung auf. Die Ergebnisse der Studie deuten auf multidimensionale Einfluss- und moderierende Faktoren bei der Entwicklung kognitiver Defizite bei Brustkrebspatientinnen nach onkologischer Therapie hin.

Zusammenfassung. Der Whiteley-Index ist ein Instrument zur Erfassung von Hypochondrie. Für diesen Fragebogen wurde eine Normierungs- und Validierungsstudie anhand einer bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Stichprobe (n = 1996) durchgeführt. Hypochondrie zeigt eine etwa lineare Altersabhängigkeit (r = .24). Frauen haben in allen Altersstufen höhere Hypochondrie-Ausprägungen als Männer. Für verschiedene Alters- und Geschlechtsgruppen werden Normwerte bereit gestellt. Die in der Literatur beschriebene dreidimensionale Struktur des Whiteley-Index (Krankheitsängste, somatische Beschwerden und Krankheitsüberzeugung) konnte mit gewissen Einschränkungen bestätigt werden. Validierungsuntersuchungen mit anderen Instrumenten (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, Gießener Beschwerdebogen, Screening für Somatoforme Störungen und Nottingham Health Profile) zeigten, dass eine auf sieben Items reduzierte Kurzskala der Gesamtskala mit 14 Items ebenbürtig ist. Für differenzierte Analysen wird jedoch die Originalskala empfohlen. Durch die angegebenen Normwerte ist es künftig besser möglich, Patientengruppen verschiedener Alters- und Geschlechtsverteilungen untereinander oder auch mit Stichproben der Normalbevölkerung zu vergleichen.
