Introdução: O Reiki figura atualmente como uma das técnicas integrativas e complementares de maior uso e interesse no mundo. Sua utilização crescente vem chamando a atenção da ciência, que busca investigar seus possíveis efeitos a fim de verificar e disponibilizar aos seus usuários informações a respeito de sua eficácia e segurança. Entre os recursos utilizados nestas avaliações estão cada vez mais presentes as escalas psicométricas, que buscam mensurar aspectos subjetivos da natureza do ser humano, como níveis de ansiedade, depressão, stress e qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Descrever as principais escalas psicométricas utilizadas em ensaios clínicos que investigaram os possíveis efeitos do Reiki, analisando seu papel diagnóstico nestes estudos. Método: A partir dos descritores “Reiki” e “Scales”, foi realizada revisão e análise de artigos publicados, nos últimos 10 anos, nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Bireme, que utilizaram-se de escalas psicométricas na avaliação dos possíveis efeitos do Reiki. Resultados: 18 estudos utilizaram-se de escalas psicométricas, como o Functional Independence Measure, aplicado a pacientes em reabilitação de AVE, o Wong-Baker Smiley Face Scale, utilizado para mensurar níveis de bem estar e dor, o Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form, para mensuração de depressão em idosos, além de instrumentos de avaliação de ansiedade, depressão, stress, desesperança, qualidade de vida e de sono, como Hospital Anxiety and Stress Scale, StateTrait Anxiety Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, World Health Organization for Quality of life, Beck Hopelessness Scale, Illness Symptoms Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale e o Pittsburgh Quality of Sleep Index. Conclusões: Não existe um consenso na literatura a respeito da escala psicométrica que seja mais apropriada a cada variável, devido às suas respectivas especificidades e níveis de sensibilidade. Atualmente, onde se discute o estabelecimento de um padrão ouro para pesquisas que abordem as práticas integrativas também são polêmicas as discussões a respeito do emprego correto destas ferramentas.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of osteosarcopenia in the over 60-year-old community and to evaluate whether osteosarcopenia is associated with disability, frailty and depression. Methods This study was performed using the baseline data of Namgaram-2, among the 1010 surveyed subjects, 885 study subjects who were 60 years or older and had all necessary tests performed were selected. The Kaigo-Yobo checklist (frailty), World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) and Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form-Korean (GDSSF-K) were used. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS 2019) were applied in this study. Osteopenia was measured using data from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and osteopenia was diagnosed when the T-score was less than − 1.0. The study subjects were divided into four groups: the normal group, in which both sarcopenia and osteopenia were undiagnosed, osteopenia only, sarcopenia only and the osteosarcopenia group, which was diagnosed with both sarcopenia and osteopenia. Results Of the 885 subjects over 60 years old evaluated, the normal group comprised 34.0%, the only osteopenia group 33.7%, the only sarcopenia group 13.1%, and the osteosarcopenia group 19.2%. WHODAS (17.5, 95% CI: 14.8-20.1), Kaigo-Yobo (3.0, 95% CI: 2.6-3.4), and GDSSF mean score (4.6, 95% CI: 3.9-5.4) were statistically significantly higher in the osteosarcopenia group compared the other groups. Partial eta squared (ηp2) of WHODAS (0.199) and Kaigo-Yobo (0.148) values ​​according to Osteosarcopenia were large, and GDSSF (0.096) was medium Conclusions Osteosarcopenia is a relatively common disease group in the older adults community that may cause deterioration of health outcomes. Therefore, when evaluating osteopenia or sarcopenia in the older adults, management of those in both disease groups should occur together.

Este estudo teve como objetivo a comparação de gestantes que residem em zona rural e urbana em um município da região amazônica, em relação a qualidade de vida, níveis de transtorno mental comum, estresse e ansiedade. Uma pesquisa descritiva, do tipo exploratória. Uma amostra de 23 gestantes atendidas em um centro de saúde do município da Estância Turística de Ouro Preto do Oeste-RO, onde foram realizadas entrevistas com as gestantes, aplicando 04 instrumentos: Sociodemográfico, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form (DASS-21), World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) e Self-Reporting Questionnaires (SRQ). Foi observado que o perfil sociodemográfico das gestantes são semelhantes em todas as variáveis pesquisadas. Em relação ao transtorno mental comum, não foi possível detectar alterações, onde todas apresentaram padrões de normalidade. No mesmo sentido, quando avaliado os níveis de ansiedade, estresse e depressão pelo DASS21, não houve alterações significativas. No entanto, a qualidade de vida das gestantes de zona urbana ficou abaixo, quando comparado com as das gestantes de zona rural, ou seja, as de zona urbana têm pior qualidade de vida nas facetas psicológico e social. Obter informações dos perfis das gestantes, é primordial para realização de ações na promoção da saúde delas e também assegurar uma gestação saudável para a gestante e seu filho.

Abstract Background: Survival and freedom from disability are arguably the most important patient-centered outcomes after surgery, but it is unclear how postoperative disability should be measured. The authors thus evaluated the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 in a surgical population. Methods: The authors examined the psychometric properties of World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 in a diverse cohort of 510 surgical patients. The authors assessed clinical acceptability, validity, reliability, and responsiveness up to 12 months after surgery. Results: Criterion and convergent validity of World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 were supported by good correlation with the 40-item quality of recovery scale at 30 days after surgery (r = −0.70) and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery with physical functioning (The Katz index of independence in Activities of Daily Living; r = −0.70, r = −0.60, and rho = −0.47); quality of life (EQ-5D; r = −0.57, −0.60, and −0.52); and pain interference scores (modified Brief Pain Inventory Short Form; r = 0.72, 0.74, and 0.81) (all P &lt; 0.0005). Construct validity was supported by increased hospital stay (6.9 vs. 5.3 days, P = 0.008) and increased day 30 complications (20% vs. 11%, P = 0.042) in patients with new disability. There was excellent internal consistency with Cronbach’s α and split-half coefficients greater than 0.90 at all time points (all P &lt; 0.0005). Responsiveness was excellent with effect sizes of 3.4, 3.0, and 1.0 at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, respectively. Conclusions: World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 is a clinically acceptable, valid, reliable, and responsive instrument for measuring postoperative disability in a diverse surgical population. Its use as an endpoint in future perioperative studies can provide outcome data that are meaningful to clinicians and patients alike.

Patients with dementia require rehabilitation involving several health professionals, where interdisciplinary care can further enhance the routine of patients and their families.OBJECTIVE:To compare the functional performance of elderly with dementia before and after an interdisciplinary intervention program provided by a healthcare service of medium complexity.METHODS: Three cases with clinically-confirmed dementia enrolled on an interdisciplinary rehabilitation program were reported. The following instruments were applied: Mini Mental-State Exam, Clinical Dementia Rating, Geriatric Depression Scale, Lawton & Brody Index, and the Functional Independence Measure for adults (FIM). The therapeutic strategies were individualized and designed based on patient performance on the FIM, according to the criteria of the Classification of Functionality, Disability and Health, implemented at the house of therapy of the Center for Integrated Rehabilitation together with provision of guidance.RESULTS: A reduction in functional dependence was observed after intervention, evidenced by less supervision needed to carry out Activities of Daily Living. Conclusion: The three patients benefited from the interdisciplinary intervention.

Objetivo: Verificar quais aspectos influenciam a qualidade de vida do indivíduo com lesão medular realizando um levantamento do estado da arte. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura composta por artigos científicos publicados nos anos de 2012 a 2017 indexados nas seguintes bases de dados: Pubmed/Medline, Science Direct e Scielo. A busca dos artigos foi realizada em idioma português, inglês e espanhol. Resultados e discussão: Dos 252 artigos encontrados, 12 atenderam os critérios de inclusão. Os artigos selecionados foram analisados segundo autor (ano), tipo de estudo, local, instrumento de mensuração, periódico científico, objetivo do estudo, variável de desfecho, amostra, principais achados. Foram encontradas alterações negativas nos domínios: físico, psicológico, social, ambiental incluindo, atividade sexual e dor, enquanto, a atividade física, o estado civil e atividade ocupacional contribuiu positivamente sobre a qualidade de vida de portadores com lesão medular, inserindo, nesse contexto positivo, a colostomia. Os portadores com lesão medular classificam a qualidade de vida de forma moderada. O instrumento mais utilizado nos estudos para avaliação da qualidade vida dessa população foi o Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), acompanhado pelo World Health Organization Quality of Life – Bref (WHOQOL-Bref). Considerações finais: Vários aspectos da qualidade de vida não são considerados satisfatórios para os portadores de lesão medular. Diversos são os domínios que demonstram essa insatisfação (social, ambiental, psicológico, físico). Mudanças nas políticas públicas de saúde são de grande importância para melhora da qualidade de vida e inclusão social desses indivíduos.
