Impacto na aposentadoria no cotidiano do servidor público federal / Impact of retirement on daily lives of federal public server

Nos últimos tempos, vem acontecendo mudanças significativas no estilo de vida dos indivíduos, que refletem no processo de envelhecimento, trabalho, cotidiano e na aposentadoria. O processo de envelhecimento é multifatorial e acontece com todos os indivíduos e variam de acordo com os hábitos de vida de cada ser humano. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi analisar os impactos da aposentadoria no cotidiano do servidor público federal. Desse modo, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa, sendo utilizado o questionário BOAS e uma entrevista semiestruturada. A partir desses instrumentos, realizou-se a análise e identificação de questões da aposentadoria que podem influenciar na ruptura do cotidiano. Sendo assim, foram identificadas três categorias pertinentes à pesquisa, são elas: planejamento da aposentadoria, impacto no cotidiano e ressignificação do cotidiano. A velhice vem cercada de mudanças e uma delas é a aposentadoria. Para podermos falar de aposentadoria é preciso que entendamos qual o significado do trabalho na vida dos indivíduos, que pode ser uma forma de pertencimento social e/ou fazer parte da construção da identidade social. O impacto no cotidiano em decorrência da ausência do trabalho acarretou em mudanças positivas e negativas, sendo importante salientar que o primeiro impacto percebido com a aposentadoria foi a ausência de uma rotina que antes era proporcionada pelo trabalho, cada indivíduo buscou alternativas a fim de se reestabelecer e se reconhecer em sua nova realidade que é a aposentadoria. Abstract In recent times, there have been significant changes in the lifestyle of individuals, which reflect in the process of aging, work, daily life and retirement. The aging process is multifactorial and happens to all individuals, and they vary according to the life habits of each human being. The main objective of the research was to analyze the impacts of retirement on the daily routine of the federal public servant. Thus, the qualitative approach was used, using the BOAS questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. From these instruments, the analysis and identification of retirement issues was carried out, which can influence the rupture of daily life. Thus, three categories relevant to research were identified: retirement planning, impact on daily life and re-signification of daily life. Old age is surrounded by change and one of them is retirement. In order to talk about retirement, we need to understand the meaning of work in individuals' lives, which can be a form of social belonging and / or part of the construction of social identity. The impact on daily life due to absence of work led to positive and negative changes, and it is important to note that the first impact perceived with retirement was the absence of a routine that was previously provided by work, each individual sought alternatives in order to reestablish and to recognize in its new reality that it is retirement.

The Impact

Early findings on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents, suggest that – despite being at the lowest physical health risk – both their mental health and day-to-day social lives are strongly affected. In this longitudinal study, we assessed changes in adolescent psychopathology symptoms, the quality and quantity of daily-life social interactions, and the relationship between social interactions and psychopathology symptoms before and during the pandemic.A sample of n=173 Flemish adolescents (mean age=16.0 at latest measurement; 89% girls) from the SIGMA cohort was tested between January 2018 - June 2019; and between April 27th - May 10th 2020. Subclinical psychopathology was assessed using the Brief Symptom Inventory-53; daily social interactions were assessed in six-day experience sampling periods with ten daily questionnaires.Multilevel linear and logistic regression analyses indicated lower general psychopathology and anxiety symptoms, beyond age effects; fewer face-to-face social interactions, more online social interactions; and higher-quality face-to-face interactions during the pandemic than before. Negative associations between psychopathology and the quality of face-to-face peer and family interactions were stronger during the pandemic than pre-pandemic.The observed decrease and stability in psychopathology symptoms is surprising and potentially reflects resilience. Although digital communication may buffer much of the quarantine-induced distress, the current results imply that high-quality face-to-face interactions with family and peers may have been more powerful in keeping adolescents resilient. As restrictions are lifted and adolescents’ daily lives and social worlds change, it is crucial to learn more about the longer-term effects of the experienced social deprivation.

Background: Most people with psoriasis do not have a medical visit for psoriasis within a given year. Objective: To assess individuals’ perceptions of the impact of psoriasis symptoms and how this impact affects willingness to seek medical attention. Methods: A total of 302 subjects with self-reported psoriasis were recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk and surveyed via Qualtrics to assess the impact of psoriasis on their daily lives and willingness to seek medical care. Comparisons were made between subjects presented with either an image of mild psoriasis or severe psoriasis. Outcome measures were evaluated on a 10-point Likert scale and compared using 1-way analysis of variance and 2-group t tests. Results: In the mild and severe psoriasis groups, those who rated the impact on their daily life ≥8 (1-10 scale) reported a greater willingness to seek medical attention for their psoriasis ( M = 9.1, SD = 1.5) compared to those who rated the impact between 6 and 7 ( M = 7.5, SD = 1.9, P < .01) and between 1 and 5 ( M = 6.4, SD = 2.4, P < .01). Those who rated the impact between 6 and 7 ( M = 7.5, SD = 1.9) reported a greater willingness to seek medical attention compared to those who rated the impact between 1 and 5 ( M = 6.4, SD = 2.4, P < .01). Conclusion: Patients with psoriasis may not visit a dermatologist in part due to not viewing their symptoms as severe enough to seek medical attention.

The Impact

Abstract Oral health-related quality of life can be defined as the perception of the impact that oral health has on the quality of life. The quality of life is characterized by a person’s perception of his/her social status and the activities he/she carries out in daily life, in relation to his/her standards, objectives, concerns and expectations, as well as the system of values and cultural conditions within he/she lives in. Objective: The objective of this study was to systematically review the dental literature to identify and classify relevant articles on the quality of life associated with the oral health of patients rehabilitated with implant-supported prostheses. Materials and methods: A systematic search of the literature on PubMed was performed for articles published between 2000 and 2021. The main method used was the electronic search using keywords such as: “quality of life”, “dental implant”. The articles found were subject to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Following a systematic search, a total of 249 publications were identified, of which only 9 met the inclusion criteria. Discussions: A small number of studies were found to meet the inclusion criteria and to present high levels of evidence. Therefore, more research in the field is recommended, as current research on quality of life in patients rehabilitated with implant-supported prostheses is still in the development phase. Conclusions: The quality of oral health could have an impact on patients’ daily lives and dental satisfaction (satisfaction with dental appearance, pain perception levels, oral comfort, functional performance and chewing capacity). Patients’ satisfaction with their dentition has a definite impact on the quality of daily life and perceptions of oral health.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdowns in countries across the world, changing the lives of billions of people. The United Kingdom’s first national lockdown, for example, restricted people’s ability to socialize and work. The current study examined how changes to socializing and working during this lockdown impacted ongoing thought patterns in daily life. We compared the prevalence of thought patterns between two independent real-world, experience-sampling cohorts, collected before and during lockdown. In both samples, young (18 to 35 y) and older (55+ y) participants completed experience-sampling measures five times daily for 7 d. Dimension reduction was applied to these data to identify common “patterns of thought.” Linear mixed modeling compared the prevalence of each thought pattern 1) before and during lockdown, 2) in different age groups, and 3) across different social and activity contexts. During lockdown, when people were alone, social thinking was reduced, but on the rare occasions when social interactions were possible, we observed a greater increase in social thinking than prelockdown. Furthermore, lockdown was associated with a reduction in future-directed problem solving, but this thought pattern was reinstated when individuals engaged in work. Therefore, our study suggests that the lockdown led to significant changes in ongoing thought patterns in daily life and that these changes were associated with changes to our daily routine that occurred during lockdown.

Background: A descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative study was undertaken to discover changes in the daily lives of hepatitis patients. Methodology: In October 2011, data from 12 hepatitis B and/or C patients were acquired using a semi-structured interview and thematic content evaluation. Hepatitis B has been diagnosed in the majority of the participants. The diagnosis duration spanned from less than 6 months to 12 years, and the majority of the diagnoses were made through blood donation. Only two patients received interferon. The findings were classified into two categories based on the feelings and replies of the interviewees, as well as some lifestyle adjustments. It was decided that health practitioners must comprehend the extent of phenomena related to the illness process and life with hepatitis.

The Way

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the acceptance of national governments’ restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the citizens’ safety perceptions of daily life and future plans. In particular, the aim is to examine the relationship among the citizens who belong to Generations Y and Z and who represent the future of tourism markets, as tourists and as host communities, in three important receiving countries, namely, Egypt, Portugal and Turkey. Design/methodology/approach This pilot project gathers data from three important receiving countries located on two continents involving 348 residents from Generations Y and Z. To identify the factors underlying the “acceptance of restrictions and measures” and the “Impacts of the COVID-19 threat on safety perceptions” a factor analysis was carried out. Notably, Pearson's correlation coefficient and a multiple linear regression analysis allowed to analyze the relationships between the two factors and a Kruskal–Wallis test was used to assess the influence of individuals’ country of residence. Findings The results reveal that in general, young generations accepted the measures and restrictions imposed by the respective governments. In addition, the present pandemic has a strong impact on their safety perception in daily lives and future plans to travel. Moreover, results prove that between the three countries there are dissimilarities showing that the countries' situation regarding COVID-19 influences those two dimensions. Research limitations/implications This study adds to the development of studies on the impacts of health risks in tourism activity, specifically on the safety measures adopted and their impacts on local receiving communities. It shows that the current pandemic is severely affecting the daily lives and plans for the future of citizens and tourists, which is in accordance with previous studies. Practical implications The outcome of this study paves the way for policy-makers in the tourism industry because it presents experiences from Generations Y and Z members, future customers and tourist products consumers, but also from receiving communities. Social implications The results of this study bring some light on how local communities, specifically, the younger generations, are facing this pandemic period and on the impact it has on the way they face daily life, future plans and on their level of acceptance of a sector as important as tourism. Originality/value To the knowledge, besides the relevant studies already conducted on the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the tourism field, no study has yet been carried out to analyze how residents have reacted and accepted the restrictions and security measures imposed by their national governments and their impact on residents’ feelings and perceptions, daily lives and travel plans. Furthermore, the specific impacts of this crisis will have on the younger generations are yet to be analyzed.

The Impact

Abstract Research on the impact of physical activity (PA) has shown that PA produces changes in the structure and function of a brain structure called the hippocampus. There are three main limitations in this research. First, the majority of the work has been carried out in elderly populations and as such, there is a paucity of research on the impact of PA on the brains of healthy young individuals. Second, whereas PA is typically assessed through controlled interventions, changes in the brain due to PA as performed during daily-life activities has not been explored. Finally, the hippocampus has a complex internal structure and the impact of PA on this internal structure is unclear. Here we examined how structural and functional aspects of the hip-pocampus are associated with habitual PA performed during work, leisure time and sports in the daily lives of young healthy adults. We found that PA performed during work time correlated with increased subicular volumes and with changed functional connectivity between a location in middle/posterior hippocampus and regions of the default mode network and between a location in anterior hippocampus and regions of the somatomotor network. No effects of PA performed during leisure time and sports were found. The results generalize the impact of PA to younger populations and show how PA performed in daily-life situations correlates with the precise internal structure of the hippocampus.

277 Background: Patients (pts) with CCA typically present with advanced disease and face a poor prognosis and impaired quality of life (QoL). Despite improvements in therapies, the impact of CCA on pts’ daily lives has been rarely studied. This pt-focused survey explored the diagnostic journey, life impact including work status, QoL and psychosocial impacts of CCA. Methods: Pts with CCA were recruited in partnership with the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation from Aug 23 through Sept 20, 2019, and were categorized by AJCC stage. Pts participated in a 30-min online survey to assess disease staging, symptoms, demographics, diagnosis journey, daily life impact, mental health, and sexual function. The survey included the validated disease specific European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-BIL21, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. Results: Of 1,286 pts invited, 707 (55%) completed the survey (male, 77%; age ≥55 y, 13%; currently employed, 78%; perihilar CCA, 47%; intrahepatic CCA, 41%; distal CCA, 12%; stage 1–2, 22%, stage 3a, 51%, stage 3b–4, 20%, in remission, 4%, unknown stage, 2%). Median duration from symptom onset to CCA diagnosis was 19 months (range, 1–241), and median duration from diagnosis to completing survey was 24 months (0–744). Initial misdiagnosis occurred in 35% of pts (n=247); among whom the most common misdiagnosis was gall bladder cancer (52% [n=129]); misdiagnosis of cancer of unknown origin occurred in 9% of pts (n=21). CCA was most frequently first suspected and diagnosed by oncologists (38% [n=269] and 70% [n=492]); among non-specialty physicians, more first suspected than diagnosed CCA (eg, primary care physicians, 22% [n=156] vs 3% [n=22]). Pts’ primary considerations in treatment decisions were physician judgment (38% [n=272]), QoL (16% [n=111]), time spent in hospital (11% [n=75]), laboratory results (11% [n=79]), other pt experiences (6% [n=42]). On the EORTC QLQ-BIL21, pts reported negative life impact from anxiety (mean [SD], 52.9 [19.2]), tiredness (52.3 [19.3]), and treatment (51.3 [28.8]). On the WPAI, 61% of pts (n=429) reported some, and 28% (n=200) reported considerable impact on work status. On the PHQ-9, 58% (n=408) of pts reported significant impact of depression on daily life, with 72% (n=506) and 25% (n=177) reporting that depression makes daily life somewhat, or very difficult, respectively. Pts also reported considerable or some impact on sexual desire (51% [n=362]; 36% [n=255]) and intimacy (47% [n=332]; 39% [n=273]). Conclusions: Pts with CCA who participated in this survey were mostly <55 y of age and had experienced CCA symptoms for an extended time (2 y) before diagnosis, at which time CCA was often initially misdiagnosed. The burden of CCA symptoms on daily lives, work productivity, and mental health is immense.

The Impact

Objectives CARE Plus is a primary-care-based complex intervention for patients with multimorbidity living in areas of high socioeconomic deprivation. This study explores patients’ experience of the intervention and whether self-determination theory is useful to understand reported impacts. Method Thematic analysis of semistructured interviews of 14 participants conducted during a randomised controlled trial of CARE Plus. Improvement in wellbeing in daily lives following CARE Plus was estimated from participants’ accounts of their experiences of the intervention. Findings Participants valued the CARE Plus consultations irrespective of perceived improvements. Six participants reported changes in wellbeing that improved daily life, three reported slight improvement (not impacting daily life) and five no improvement. Evidence of satisfaction of the three major self-determination theory psychological needs – relatedness, competence and autonomy – was prominent in the accounts of those experiencing improved wellbeing in daily life; this group also spoke in ways congruent with more self-determined motivational regulation. These changes were not evident in those with little or no improvement in wellbeing. Discussion This study suggests self-determination theory has utility in understanding the impact of CARE Plus on patients and may be a useful theory to inform development of future interventions to improve outcomes for patients with multimorbidity.

The goal of the thesis is to highlight the main uses and impacts of artificial intelligence to consumers’ life in high-tech cities such as Singapore. The different ways to exploit artificial intelligence in consumers daily life is explored and the overall impact to society as a whole. Current technology development is substantially rapid which affects various aspects of societies. The article considers advantages and disadvantages of the artificial intelligence to consumers, especially the ethical consideration of artificialintelligence which is becoming increasingly powerful issue. However, artificial intelligence’s development has started with momentum that is challenging to halt, thus, the question is whether we are able to maintain superior control over artificial intelligence.The importance of in-depth understanding of high-tech societies such as Singapore under the impact of artificial intelligence. This type of exploration can suggest various different changes in close future, for instance, concerning economy, transportation, healthcare and communication. Globally, these are issues that are intensely linked to the people’s daily lives affecting substantially to societies, for instance, economical algorithms are carried out already by the artificial intelligence which creates opportunities and threats. Artificial intelligence’s opportunities and threats are still under control, but great number of scholars have been arguing the moment the artificial intelligence is able to begin thinking about its strengths and weaknesses itself. Also, multiple societies and countries have been considering heavily investing into artificial intelligence which can provide substantial advantages to different aspects of society. In addition, greater and growing dependency on artificial intelligence will create vacuum of real human power in societies. Nevertheless, artificial intelligence carries disadvantages for societies too which needs to be scrutinized.
