RESUMOObjetivo: analisar os aspectos sociodemográficos e laborais associados à qualidade de vida das profissionais do sexo. Método: trata-se de estudo quantitativo, descritivo, exploratório, censitário, de corte transversal. Utilizou-se formulário semi estruturado e se analisou os dados pelo software SPSS versão 21.0. Apresentou-se as variáveis por meio de frequências relativas e absolutas, diferenças foram comparadas pelo teste exato de Fisher, adotando-se nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05) para todas as análises. Resultados: verificou-se associação entre a qualidade de vida e as variáveis de condição afetiva (p=0,027) e religião (p=0,013). O domínio do meio ambiente destacou-se entre os demais por apresentar a menor média 43,3125. Conclusão: identificou-se que os aspectos sociodemográficos e laborais interferem diretamente na qualidade de vida das profissionais, pois, estão em situações de grande vulnerabilidade, além do estigma da sociedade e poder público. Observa-se a necessidade de ampliação das discursões referentes à qualidade de vida, para que façam valer seus direitos conforme regido pela Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar a ocorrência de depressão e a qualidade de vida em pacientes renais no pré e pós-transplante. Método: estudo quantitativo, descritivo, exploratório, de coorte transversal. Foram aplicados três instrumentos para a coleta de dados: um questionário para caracterização da amostra, o inventário Beck de depressão (BDI) e o questionário SF-36, para avaliação da qualidade de vida. A amostra foi composta por dois grupos, um de pacientes no pré-transplante renal (59 pacientes) e o outro de transplantados renais (63 pacientes), totalizando 122 pacientes. Resultados: a maioria dos pacientes, em ambos os grupos, não apresentava depressão, correspondendo a 88,9% dos transplantados e 79.6% de pacientes no pré-transplante. A qualidade de vida mostrou-se superior nos pacientes transplantados em relação aos que aguardavam o procedimento. Os domínios do questionário SF-36 que determinaram a melhor qualidade de vida nos pacientes transplantados foram capacidade funcional (p = 0,001), dor (p = 0,027), estado geral de saúde (p = 0,049) e vitalidade (p = 0,000). Conclusão: esse estudo mostrou uma baixa ocorrência de depressão nos pacientes tanto no pré, como no pós-transplante renal. A qualidade de vida mostrou-se superior no grupo de transplantados.

Method: quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study. Three instruments were used to collect data: a questionnaire for characterization of the sample, the Beck depression inventory (BDI) and the SF-36 questionnaire, to evaluate the quality of life. The sample consisted of two groups: one in pre-transplant patients (59 patients) and the other in renal transplant patients (63 patients), totaling 122 patients. Results: the majority of patients, in both groups, did not present depression, corresponding to 88.9% of the transplanted patients and 79.6% of the pre-transplant patients. Quality of life was higher in transplant patients than in those awaiting the procedure. The SF-36 domains that determined the best quality of life in the transplanted patients were functional capacity (p = 0.001), pain (p = 0.027), general health status (p = 0.049) and vitality (p = 0.000). Conclusion: this study showed a low occurrence of depression in patients both in the pre- and post-renal transplantation. Quality of life was higher in the transplant group.

Background: This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the quality of life of young workers of a Social Work of Industry Unit. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 1270 workers. Data were collected using a digital questionnaire built on the KoBoToolbox platform that included the EUROHIS-QOL eight-item index to assess quality of life. Demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and clinical variables were considered explanatory. The associations were analyzed using the ordinal logistic regression model at a 5% significance level. Results: Men and women had a mean quality of life of 31.1 and 29.4, respectively. Workers that rated their health as “very good” had an odds ratio of 7.4 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 5.17–10.81), and those who rated it as “good” had an odds ratio of 2.9 (95% CI = 2.31–3.77). Both these groups of workers were more likely to have higher levels of quality of life as compared to workers with “regular”, “poor”, or “very poor” self-rated health. Physically active individuals were 30% more likely to have higher levels of quality of life (odds ratio = 1.3; 95% CI = 1.08–1.65). After adjusting the model by gender, age group, marital status, socioeconomic class, self-rated health, nutritional status, and risky alcohol consumption, the odds ratio of active individuals remained stable (odds ratio = 1.3; 95% CI = 1.05–1.66). Conclusions: In the present study, self-rated health, physical activity, and gender were associated with young workers’ quality of life.

The Impact

The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of dental fluorosis in schoolchildren aged 6 to 15 and its possible association with the impacts on their daily activities. This study is observational, cross-sectional and analytical. A total of 513 schoolchildren from the city of Pinheiro Preto, SC, took part in this study. The children were examined by three calibrated dentists, after obtaining a kappa > 0.80. To assess the prevalence of fluorosis, clinical examinations were performed according to the methodology set forth by the 4th edition of the WHO. To assess the impact of fluorosis on their daily activities, a modified OIDP (Oral Impacts on Daily Performance) was adopted. The statistical analysis used was the Chi-squared test with a 5% significance level. Of the total number of children examined, 262 (51.1%) were of the female gender and 251 (48.9%) were of the male gender. In regard to the prevalence of fluorosis, 94 (18.3%) of the children presented this condition, while 419 children (81.7%) presented a normal condition. In regard to the severity of fluorosis, few children presented severe alterations. No association was found between dental fluorosis and gender (p = 0.646), between fluorosis and socioeconomic status (p = 0.848) or between fluorosis and access to public water supply system (p = 0.198). The activities that most affected children's daily performance were: oral hygiene (40.9%) and food intake or enjoying food (40.4%). None of the daily activities could be associated with the occurrence of dental fluorosis. The prevalence of dental fluorosis was consonant with the standards found for locations with optimum fluoride content in the water supply. The questionable and very slight levels of fluorosis were the most frequently found, without influence in the quality of life of the schoolchildren participating in the study.

Multiple linear regression with backward elimination was used, and all analyses were conducted at the 0.05 significance level. Results The overall mean total score on the WHOQOL-BREF scale was 60.47 with ± 23.07 SD. Monthly income ≤ 500 EB (β = − 12.49, P < 0.001), living alone (β = − 7.11, P = 0.007), adverse drug reaction (β = − 10.86, P < 0.001), comorbidity of anxiety (β = − 12.99, P < 0.001), perceived social stigma (β = − 9.73, P < 0.001) and frequency of seizure once per week (β = − 8.41, P = 0.001) were negatively associated with quality of life of epileptic patients. The mean quality of life of patients living with epilepsy in this study was low. The clinician should early recognize and treat drug side effects, detect and manage comorbidity, and control seizure in order to increase quality of life of epileptic patients.
