Objective: To identify correlates of quality of life (QoL) measured with the Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) in participants of a multidisciplinary day hospital treatment program for fibromyalgia (FM). Methods: In this cross-sectional, observational study, “real world” data from 480 FM patients including socio-demographics, pain variables and questionnaires such as the SF-36, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Multiphasic Pain Inventory (MPI), SCL-90-R and others were categorized according to the components (body structure and function, activities and participation, personal factors, environmental factors) of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF). For every ICF component, a linear regression analysis with QOLS as the dependent variable was computed. A final comprehensive model was calculated on the basis of the results of the five independent analyses. Results: The following variables could be identified as main correlates for QoL in FM, explaining 56% of the variance of the QOLS (subscale/questionnaire and standardized beta in parenthesis): depression (− 0.22), pain-related interference with everyday life (− 0.19), general activity (0.13), general health perception (0.11), punishing response from others (− 0.11), work status (− 0.10), vitality (− 0.11) and cognitive difficulties (− 0.12). Pain intensity or frequency was not an independent correlate. Conclusions: More than 50% of QoL variance could be explained by distinct self-reported variables with neither pain intensity nor pain frequency playing a major role. Therefore, FM treatment should not primarily concentrate on pain but should address multiple factors within multidisciplinary therapy.

Purpose: In the absence of a gold standard, this study illustrates the process involved in the cross-cultural translation and adaptation of the FOCUS© and its shortened version, FOCUS-34© (the Parent Form and Instruction Sheet, as well as the Clinician Form and Instruction Sheet), while also determining the social validity and clinical applicability of the translated measure. The target language used as example was Afrikaans, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa. Method: A two-phase cross-cultural translation model was employed in which Phase 1 (comprising a six-step blind back-translation procedure) was sequentially followed by Phase 2 (social validation and clinical applicability of the measure, using focus groups with stakeholders). Result: The extensive process followed in Phase 1 resulted in a clear and appropriate translation acceptable to both stakeholder groups (parents and speech-language pathologists). Both groups questioned the meaning of certain concepts, explored cultural differences and requested the extension of some items. Parents also shared their emotional reactions towards assessment, while therapists focussed on editorial changes to the measures. Conclusion: A framework is proposed for cross-cultural translation and adaptation of assessment measures with suitability in the speech-language pathology discipline.

Children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) often receive botulinum toxin (BoNT-A) to manage spasticity. Our 2014 study developed an inventory of parents’ goals for BoNT-A treatment, but reasons for selecting these goals were unclear. The current study aimed to describe and categorize the effects of BoNT-A that parents observed according to WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. This qualitative study used interpretive description. Fifteen parents of non-ambulatory young people with CP (mean age 10.2 years, SD 3.9, 7 males) who received BoNT-A were recruited through McMaster Children’s Hospital’s Spasticity Management Clinic. Interviews were conducted in-person or by telephone for 20-60 minutes. The research team read the initial transcript, identified codes, and finalized the coding framework. Member checking was conducted to enhance trustworthiness. The key theme was that parents needed to find the right path to do what is best for their child. Parents described how they learned about both positive and negative effects of BoNT-A treatment: some parents emphasized the child’s pain during BoNT-A injections (negative), but also felt that BoNT-A was helpful for their child (positive). Most effects of BoNT-A were coded at the ICF activity level, such as dressing These observations helped inform parents’ decision to continue with BoNT-A and identify future goals. This study provides insight into parents’ journey of learning about BoNT-A and goal-setting for their child. Parents’ perspectives will be used to refine the 2014 inventory of goals to facilitate collaborative goal-setting for BoNT-A treatment. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc) / Children diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP) receive botulinum toxin (BoNT-A) as a treatment to reduce muscle tone. Current research on the use of BoNT-A injections in non-ambulatory children with CP is scarce and may not incorporate the perspectives of the family about their goals for treatment. This study interviewed parents to ask about the effects that they observed in their child after BoNT-A treatment. Fifteen parents were interviewed and all parents spoke about their journey of “finding the right path to do what is best for my child” as they learned about the possible effects of BoNT-A treatment for their child. By learning about parents’ journey, informational resources can be developed and shared with other parents about the effects of BoNT-A treatment. It is important to help parents understand these effects, which would allow them to discuss and identify appropriate goals with healthcare professionals in future BoNT-A treatment sessions.

Background: Individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders are unemployed or underemployed at staggering rates. Employment for this population is impacted by many factors, including contextual issues. This review was conducted to enhance understanding of contextual factors influencing employment procurement for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Methodology: The Arksey and O’Malley scoping review framework was utilized to examine five databases and sources of grey literature regarding the contextual factors influencing employment procurement for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Articles were analyzed using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health criteria for Contextual Factors, including both Environmental and Personal Factors. Results: The findings from 41 articles indicate that Contextual Factors, Environmental Factors and Personal Factors influence employment procurement by creating both barriers and facilitators to obtaining employment for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Conclusion: A focus on contextual factors that impact individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders may provide further insight into the facilitators and barriers influencing employment outcomes. Further research should aim to understand the strength of relationships and to expand the use and application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health’s biopsychosocial framework. This research can aid in promoting the employment outcomes for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

Background: Physical activity questionnaires (PAQ) have been extensively used to determine physical activity (PA) levels. Most PAQ are derived from an energy expenditure-based perspective and assess activities with a certain intensity level. Activities with a moderate or vigorous intensity level are predominantly used to determine a person’s PA level in terms of quantity. Studies show that the time spent engaging in moderate and vigorous intensity PA does not appropriately reflect the actual PA behavior of older people because they perform more functional, everyday activities. Those functional activities are more likely to be considered low-intense and represent an important qualitative health-promoting activity. For the elderly, functional, light intensity activities are of special interest but are assessed differently in terms of quantity and quality. The aim was to analyze the content of PAQ for the elderly.

Devido a sua magnitude, ? importante focalizar o debate sobre a epidemia das DCNT no contexto do Diabetes Mellitus (DM). A evolu??o do DM ? marcada pelo surgimento de complica??es e agravos, como tamb?m por um comprometimento da capacidade funcional do indiv?duo. Em 2001, a OMS cria a Classifica??o Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Sa?de (CIF), introduzindo um novo paradigma para se pensar e trabalhar a defici?ncia e a incapacidade. Os dom?nios da CIF s?o descritos com base na perspectiva do corpo, do indiv?duo e da sociedade, sendo divididos estruturalmente em duas partes: funcionalidade/incapacidade e fatores contextuais. A funcionalidade/incapacidade divide-se em dois componentes: estruturas e fun??es do corpo e atividades e participa??o. Os fatores contextuais abrangem os fatores pessoais e os fatores ambientais. Mesmo com a publica??o de pesquisas recentes, estudos que utilizam a CIF de maneira quantitativa ainda s?o escassos. O impacto dos fatores contextuais sobre a atividade e participa??o em indiv?duos om DM e an?lises longitudinais envolvendo os dom?nios da CIF tamb?m carecem de reflex?es mais aprofundadas. Entender a evolu??o das consequ?ncias funcionais do DM ao longo do tempo ? fundamental, n?o s? por compreender os seus determinantes, mas por permitir a??es preventivas antes do surgimento de agravos, al?m de contribuir para a elabora??o de interven??es com vistas a desenvolver mudan?as no autocuidado, qualidade de vida e mobilidade em indiv?duos com DM, aumentando tamb?m o conhecimento e aceita??o sobre a doen?a e incentivando a busca por h?bitos mais saud?veis. Sendo assim, o objetivo geral desse estudo foi realizar uma avalia??o funcional tr?s anos ap?s a linha de base em indiv?duos com Diabetes Mellitus acompanhados nas unidades b?sicas de sa?de do munic?pio de Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brasil. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Due to its magnitude, it is important to focus the debate on the CNCD epidemic in the context of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The DM evolution is marked by the appearance of complications and injuries, as well as by a functional capacity compromise of the individual. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) created the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), introducing a new paradigm for thinking and working on disability. The domains of the ICF are described based on the perspective of the body, the subject and the society, being divided structurally in two parts: functionality/disability and contextual factors. Functionality/disability is divided into two components: structures and functions of the body and activities and participation. Contextual factors encompass personal factors and environmental factors. Even with the publication of recent research, studies that use the ICF quantitatively are still scarce. The impact of the contextual factors on the activity and participation in individuals with DM and longitudinal analyzes involving the domains of the ICF also need to be further investigated. Understanding the evolution of DM functional consequences over time is fundamental not only because it understands its determinants, but also because it allows for preventive actions before the diseases onset, besides contributing to the elaboration of interventions to develop changes in self-care, quality of life and mobility in individuals with DM, also increasing knowledge and acceptance about the disease and encouraging the search for healthier habits. Therefore, the general objective of this study was to perform a functional evaluation three years after the baseline in individuals with DM accompanied at the basic health units of the Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Identify the major barriers and facilitators involved in the person s rehabilitation process with amputated lower limb in Florianópolis were the main objective of this study. Look at the amputee person in the context of functionality enlarges the horizon and contextualizes the individual, the family, the community in the biopsychosocial perspective. Therefore it attempted to describe the functionality and disability process through ICF and know the issues related to assistance and therapeutic itineraries experience. This is an exploratory and descriptive research with qualitative approach, with production data purchased through semi-structured interviews, in depth, complemented by a field diary with six individuals who experienced amputation of lower limbs. The data were organized and processed by means of coding, classification and categorization, following the Analysis of Content technique suggested by Bardin. Observing the therapeutic itinerary of the interviewees are perceived access barriers, structural and organizational imposed by the health services and social security. It also was evidenced, the unpreparedness scientific-technical of health professionals, the barriers related to physical accessibility and the lack of medical transports for treatment. During the interviews, the social support, especially the provided by family members and friends were highlighted as an important facilitator. The trajectories also served to highlight the importance of prosthetic for rehabilitation of person amputee as well as the barriers faced to your assurance through Brazilian health system or Social Security. / A amputação de membros inferiores envolve sequelas motoras, psicológicas e sociais importantes, sendo um grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil e no mundo. Identificar as principais barreiras e os facilitadores envolvidos no processo de reabilitação da pessoa amputada de membro inferior no município de Florianópolis foi o principal objetivo deste estudo. Olhar a pessoa amputada no contexto da funcionalidade amplia os horizontes e contextualiza o indivíduo, a família, a comunidade em uma perspectiva biopsicossocial. Para tanto se buscou descrever o processo de funcionalidade e de incapacidade por meio da CIF e conhecer as questões relacionadas à assistência e aos itinerários terapêuticos vivenciados. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, com produção de dados adquiridos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, em profundidade, complementadas por um diário de campo, com seis indivíduos que sofreram amputação de membros inferiores. Os dados foram organizados e tratados por meio de codificação, classificação e categorização, seguindo a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo sugerida por Bardin. Observando o itinerário terapêutico dos entrevistados perceberam-se barreiras de acesso, estruturais e organizacionais impostas pelos serviços de saúde e previdência social. Ficou evidenciado, também, o despreparo técnico-científico dos profissionais de saúde, as barreiras ligadas à acessibilidade física e a falta de transporte sanitário para tratamento. Durante as entrevistas, o suporte social, sobretudo aquele oferecido pelos familiares e amigos foram ressaltados como importante facilitador. As trajetórias também serviram para destacar a importância da prótese para reabilitação da pessoa amputada, bem como as barreiras enfrentadas para sua garantia por meio do SUS ou Previdência Social.

A partir desse ponto de vista, a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde ¿ CIF, proposto pela OMS, envolvendo diversos países, surge para abarcar tais questões e auxiliar os profissionais de Saúde na realização de uma avaliação diferenciada, na definição de metas, no gerenciamento da intervenção e na medida de resultados. Desta forma, este estudo volta-se ao cuidado de pessoas com DCNT, mais especificamente, o Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC), nos aspectos de fala e linguagem, no âmbito da fonoaudiologia. Trata-se de estudo metodológico, com objetivo de propor um instrumento auxiliar para aplicação da CIF nos domínios de fala e linguagem de acordo com as etapas a seguir: a) Seleção dos domínios da CIF relacionados à fala e a linguagem b) Elaboração das perguntas auxiliares para cada domínio selecionado e dos critérios de qualificação, segundo a CIF c) Avaliação das perguntas auxiliares para validade de conteúdo d) Desenvolvimento das instruções de aplicação e) Aplicação de teste piloto e f) Estimativa da confiabilidade entre observadores. Como resultado obteve-se um instrumento com 35 perguntas para auxiliar na aplicação de 30 domínios da CIF relacionados à fala e a linguagem, de forma mais prática e de fácil entendimento e aplicação. A validade de conteúdo e confiabilidade entre observadores são ótimas demostrando que o instrumento proposto é capaz de auxiliar na avaliação de funcionalidade e participação nos domínios relacionados a fala e linguagem. Espera-se, deste modo, contribuir para a expansão da utilização da CIF nos casos pós-AVC, no âmbito da clínica fonoaudiológica / During the last decades it has been observed great changes regarding care and needs of people with particular health conditions, such as noncontagious chronic diseases (NCCD), since Health Public Policies include as essential aspects, activity issues, participation and contextual factors as stated by World Health Organization (WHO). The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), proposed by WHO, comes out to comprehend those factors and help health professionals to perform a singular assessment, determine targets, manage intervention and measure results in health assistance. Among the NCCD, this study turns to speech and language aspects, participation and functionality of people who have suffered a stroke, in Speech and Language Pathology field, using ICF as a conceptual foundation. It's important to have a clinical instrument based on human functionality perspective, as proposed by ICF, which integrates language use on the individual's context and relates itself with several environmental and personal aspects regarding language use aiming a differentiated clinical assessment and decision making process centered on the person who has suffered the stroke. It's a methodological study, proposing a clinical instrument to evaluate and classify speech and language needs, participation and functionality after a cerebral vascular disease based on ICF. Therefore we have followed the next stages: a) Selecting speech and language ICF domains, b) Formulating questions for each selected domain and qualification criteria, according to ICF c) Evaluating questions in order to validate their content, d) Developing application instructions, e) Pilot test application and f) Estimation of reliability among observers. The result was a 35 question clinical instrument to evaluation and classification of speech and language aspects, participation and functionality of people who have suffered a stroke, according to ICF. The instrument presented content validation and reliability among observers demonstrating its applicability. The possibility of using several sources of information (subject, family and professional) and the instrument application time are positive and practicable aspects to its utilization in different clinical contexts in a bio-psycho-social approach centered on the subject and not on the pathology. The results confirm the importance of ICF utilization as a conceptual foundation to a differentiated clinical intervention on the perspective of an integral and human attention / Mestrado / Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação / Mestra em Saúde, Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação

Ao longo do tempo, diversas mudanças de paradigmas na saúde levam a ressignificação da clínica, incorporando-se em suas práticas aspectos funcionais e sociais tal como propõe a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) na Classificação Internacional de Incapacidade, Funcionalidade e Saúde ¿ CIF. Este trabalho fundamenta-se em uma visão de linguagem pautada na subjetividade e no cuidado humanizado em fonoaudiologia de pessoas que sofreram AVE, em que a base conceitual da CIF desponta como importante ferramenta por incorporar uma visão positiva da saúde humana. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar e classificar aspectos de linguagem, funcionalidade e participação de pessoas pós AVE com base conceitual da CIF e caracterizar o perfil sociodemográfico dos participantes. MÉTODO: A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética da FCM/UNICAMP sob nº 442.958/2013. A amostra é constituída de 50 (cinquenta) participantes com diagnóstico de AVE em atendimento ambulatorial, tempo de íctos acima de 3 (três) meses e de ambos os sexos. A coleta de dados se deu por meio da aplicação de um instrumento clínico para avaliação das necessidades de linguagem, participação e funcionalidade no AVE baseada na CIF. Para classificação dos dados foram consideradas diversas fontes de informação. Os dados foram analisados a partir dos componentes da CIF de Funções do Corpo; Atividade e Participação; Fatores Ambientais, utilizando-se os qualificadores quanto a gravidade do problema e magnitude do nível de saúde. RESULTADOS: A idade dos participantes variou entre 32 e 88 anos, sendo que a maioria (57,8%) é idoso do sexo masculino. Nas funções do corpo, os participantes referiram maior dificuldade nos domínios de "função da memória" e "funções de orientação" (60% em ambos). Em atividade e participação, relataram maior dificuldade em "recreação e lazer" (61,1%), "escrever mensagens" (55,6 %), "andar" (53,1%), "concentrar a atenção" (52%) e "vida comunitária" (51,7%). Nos fatores ambientais, o componente "profissionais de saúde" foi indicado como facilitador para a maior parte do grupo estudado (83,6%), sendo relatado como barreira para uma pequena parcela (14,2%). Quanto ao item "família imediata" foi considerado como facilitador para grande parte dos participantes (79,1%) e como barreira para uma pequena parte (2,3%). O item "família ampliada" foi referido como facilitador para a maioria (70,8%) e como barreira para uma baixa porcentagem (4,2%) dos participantes. CONCLUSÃO: A utilização da CIF como base conceitual possibilitou a análise e classificação dos aspectos de linguagem, funcionalidade e participação das pessoas que sofreram AVE, evidenciando o impacto em suas vidas, em sua percepção, aliada a visão do profissional. Os resultados contribuem para ampliar o olhar do fonoaudiólogo e aprimorar a assistência à saúde desse grupo populacional no atendimento ambulatorial em uma abordagem integral e humanizada / Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Among the chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the CVA (Cerebrovascular Accident) is the most important issue in Public Health, due to its high mortality and after-effects, such as language impairments and implication in participation. Over time, many changes in health paradigms led to the resignification of clinical practice, incorporating in its practices functional and social aspects, as proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). This paper follows a language approach based on the subjectivity and humanized care in Speech and Language Pathology for people that suffered CVA, in which the ICF conceptual basis emerges as an important tool since it embodies a positive vision of human health. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and classify aspects of language, functionality and participation in post-CVA patients under the ICF conceptual basis and to characterize the sociodemographic profile of the participants. METHOD: The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of FCM/UNICAMP under # 442.958. The sample constitutes 50 (fifty) participants diagnosed with CVA outpatient care, who had the stroke at least 3 (three) months before the research and of both sexes. The data collection was done through the application of a clinical instrument for the evaluation of language, participation and functionality needs in CVA based on ICF. To classify the data, some sources of information were considered in the study. The data were analyzed from ICF components of Body Functions; Activity and Participation; Environmental Factors, using the qualifiers concerning the gravity of the problem and magnitude of health level. RESULTS: The age of the participants varied between 32 and 88 years old, the majority (57, 8%) being elderly men. Among the body functions, the participants reported more difficulties in "memory functions" and "orientation functions" (60% on both). Among activity and participation, were related more difficulties in "recreation and leisure" (61,1%), "writing messages" (55,6%), "walking" (53,1%), "focus the attention" (52%) and "community life" (51,7%). Amongst the environmental factors, the component "healthcare professionals" was indicated as a facilitator to most of the group (83,6%) and reported as a barrier for a small portion (14,2%). As for the item "immediate family", it was considered by a large portion of the participants (79,1%) as a facilitator and as a barrier for a small part (2,3%). The item "extended family" was reported as a facilitator for most (70,8%) and as a barrier for a low percentage of the sample (4,2%). CONCLUSION: The use of ICF as a conceptual basis allowed the analysis and classification of language, functionality and participation aspects in people that had suffered CVA, indicating the impact in their lives and perception, along with the professional view. The results contribute to extend the Speech and Language Pathologist approach and to improve the health assistance to outpatient care in an integral and humanized view / Mestrado / Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação / Mestra em Saúde, Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação
