Relation entre la représentation de la maladie et le bien-être subjectif et psychologique chez des patients atteints de cancer

Lalande, Audrey-Anne January 2016 (has links)
L’annonce d’un diagnostic de cancer a un impact important sur l’individu. En se basant sur des informations sociales, environnementales et personnelles, celui-ci tentera de se représenter la maladie. Cette représentation constitue une grille d’informations cognitives et émotionnelles servant à donner un sens à la maladie et y réagir. Le modèle d’autorégulation de Leventhal propose qu’en fonction de sa représentation de la maladie, un individu mettra de l’avant différentes stratégies d’adaptation; ultimement, ces stratégies auront un impact sur l’issue de la maladie dont le niveau de bien-être. La présente recherche propose de considérer l’avenue tant hédonique qu’eudémonique du bien-être, en y incluant le bien-être subjectif, correspondant aux affects positifs et négatifs et à la satisfaction de vie et le bien-être psychologique correspondant à un état d’épanouissement personnel. L’étude a pour objectif principal de documenter les liens entre les dimensions cognitives et émotionnelles de la représentation de la maladie et les dimensions du bien-être subjectif (avenue hédonique) et le bien-être psychologique (avenue eudémonique). Plus précisément, les hypothèses postulent qu’une représentation plus positive de la maladie a pour effet d’augmenter le bien-être subjectif et psychologique. Les hypothèses postulent que la dimension de la représentation émotionnelle de la maladie joue un rôle médiateur entre les dimensions cognitives de la représentation de la maladie et le bien-être subjectif et psychologique. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, 70 participants âgés entre 31 et 75 ans ayant été atteints de cancer dans les cinq dernières années ont été recrutés. Les données ont été recueillies à l’aide de questionnaires autorapportés : un questionnaire sociodémographique, les versions francophones du Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R : Moss-Morris et al., 2002), du Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS ; Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988), du Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) et du The Scales of Psychological Well-Being (Ryff & Essex, 1992). Des analyses statistiques de régressions multiples et de médiation ont été réalisées à l’aide du logiciel Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Les résultats indiquent que seulement certaines dimensions de la représentation de la maladie exercent un effet unique sur le bien-être subjectif et/ou psychologique soit le contrôle personnel perçu, la représentation émotionnelle de la maladie, les conséquences perçues de la maladie et le cours aigu/chronique de la maladie. La représentation émotionnelle de la maladie semble exercer un effet médiateur complet entre certaines dimensions cognitives de la représentation de la maladie et les niveaux de bien-être. C’est le cas pour l’identité, le cours aigu/chronique de la maladie, le cours cyclique de la maladie, les conséquences perçues de la maladie et l’efficacité perçue du traitement, lorsque mis en lien avec les affects négatifs. C’est aussi le cas pour l’identité et le cours cyclique de la maladie, lorsque mis en lien avec la satisfaction de vie, et pour le cours cyclique de la maladie et les conséquences perçues de la maladie, lorsque mis en lien avec le bien-être psychologique. Les affects positifs associés au volet affectif du bien-être subjectif ne sont pas affectés par la représentation de la maladie.

A literatura médica é escassa no que se refere à avaliação da prevalência de hipovitaminose D no Brasil. Esta vitamina apresenta importante função em diversos processos metabólicos e lhe foi atribuída uma possível influência no processo reprodutivo e, em especial, na fisiologia reprodutiva da mulher. Não está esclarecido, entretanto, se existe associação entre concentrações séricas baixas de vitamina D e infertilidade feminina. Objetivos. Avaliar a prevalência de hipovitaminose D em mulheres inférteis e a relação da concentração sérica da vitamina D com os fatores de infertilidade. Métodos. Este é um estudo transversal de caso-controle. Os resultados das dosagens de vitamina D, realizadas entre primeiro de janeiro de 2012 e quinze de maio de 2012, foram o objeto desse estudo. A dosagem da vitamina D foi solicitada na primeira consulta para todas as pacientes inférteis em investigação, em um centro privado de reprodução assistida em Brasília, DF, Brasil. O grupo controle foi formado por mulheres atendidas nesta mesma clínica, sem queixas de infertilidade. Foi considerada deficiência de vitamina D quando a concentração da mesma estava abaixo de 20 ng/mL e insuficiência entre 20 e 30 ng/mL. Para analisar a influência da idade sobre a comparação entre as médias da concentração de vitamina D nos grupos foi realizado regressão logística de multivariáveis. Resultados. Entre as 369 mulheres avaliadas em idade fértil, 81,1% apresentaram algum grau de hipovitaminose D e, 32%, deficiência da vitamina. Não foi encontrada diferença entre a prevalência de deficiência de vitamina D nas pacientes inférteis (30,2%) e no grupo controle (35%) (p=0,33). Não se observaram diferenças significativas entre as médias das concentrações da vitamina D entre os grupos de inférteis (24,3 ± 7,9 ng/mL) e controles (23,8 ± 8,7 ng/mL) (p = 0,51). Não houve influência da idade nesse resultado. Não foi encontrada diferença estatística, quando se comparou as médias das concentrações de vitamina D de pacientes inférteis, de acordo com o fator de infertilidade, ou quando estas médias foram comparadas com o grupo controle. Conclusão. Concluímos que existe alta prevalência de hipovitaminose D nas mulheres inférteis consultadas. Não houve diferença na média das concentrações séricas entre as mulheres inférteis avaliadas e das mulheres sem esta queixa. Nenhum fator de infertilidade se associou a maior risco para que a mulher apresentasse concentrações mais baixas de vitamina D. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / Introduction. Publications about the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Brazilian population are rare. Vitamin D plays an important role in several metabolic processes, including a possible influence on women's reproductive physiology. Therefore, it is expected that the inadequate serum concentration of vitamin D might be involved with infertility factors. Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in infertile patients that were examined at a clinic specialized in assisted reproduction in Brasilia, DF, Brazil. Our secondary objectives were to verify if serum concentrations of vitamin D in infertile women differ from those without infertility and to assess whether vitamin D serum concentration is influenced by the infertility factor. Methods. This is a cross-sectional case-control study. Vitamin D was measured from 01/01/2012 to 05/05/2012 in infertile women and in those without this complaint, who served as the control group. Subjects came from a private center of assisted reproduction, in Brasília-DF. Levels of vitamin D below 20 ng/mL were considered as deficiency, between 21 and 30 ng/mL as insufficiency, and normal when it was over 30 ng/mL. To analyze the vitamin D levels between controls and infertile women, adjusted by age, multivariate logistic regression was obtained. Results. Among the 369 women evaluated, 81.1% of them shown hypovitaminosis D and 32%, deficiency. There was no difference between the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in infertile patients (30.2%) and in the control group (35%) (p = 0.33). The same occurred relatively to the mean vitamin D concentrations in infertile women (24.3 ± 7.9 ng/mL) and in the control group (23.8 ± 8.7 ng/mL) (p = 0.51), even when adjusted by age. Besides, there were no statistical differences in the mean vitamin D concentrations in infertile women when infertility factors were compared among them and also between each infertility factor group and the control group. Conclusions. It was observed a high proportion of infertile women with vitamin D deficiency. There was no difference between the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in infertile patients and in the control group. There wasn’t an infertility factor associated to lower levels of vitamin D.

However, most studies available are limited to confirming the association of PCOS with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To assess the Framingham risk score and the prevalence of cardiovascular events in women with PCOS. Patients and Methods: Clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographic data were collected from women (18-40 years) with and without PCOS attending the Botucatu Medical School Hospital from 1997 to 2010. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS), calculated according to NCEP-ATPIII-2002 criteria, was used to estimate the 10-year risk of first coronary event. The prevalence of major and minor cardiovascular events was obtained through the analysis of medical records, crossing of data, and active search. Statistical analyses were performed using the Chi-square test, Fischer’s exact test and multiple logistic regression adjusted for age and BMI, with significance set at 5%. Results:t A total of 267 women with PCOS and 190 without PCOS were followed up for 1-13 years. Median age was 25 years in women with PCOS, and 29.5 yearsnin those without it (p<0.0001). Women with PCOS had higher prevalence of obesity (p=0.017), waist circumference (p= 0.012), arterial hypertension (p=0.047), glucose intolerance (p=0.027), type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.007 hypercholesterolemia (p=0.005), and hypertriglyceridemia (0.002) than those without PCOS. The prevalence of high FRS was 7.5% and 1.3% in women with and without PCOS, respectively (p=0.008). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that women with PCOS had a 5-fold greater chance of having a coronary event than those without PCOS (OR: 5.16 95%CI:1.16-22.96, p=0.031). However, the prevalence of cardiovascular events did not statistically differ between women with and without PCOS. Conclusions: In the women with PCOS at childbearing age who participated in this ...

O hiperandrogenismo influencia no desenvolvimento de síndrome metabólica em pacientes com síndrome dos ovários policísticos?

Rehme, Marta Francis Benevides. January 2009 (has links)
Orientador: Anaglória Pontes / Banca: Tamara Goldberg / Banca: Marcos Felipe Silva de Sá / Banca: José Alcione Macedo Almeida / Banca: Cleusa Cascaes Dias / Resumo: A síndrome dos ovários policísticos (SOP) afeta 5 a 8% das mulheres no menacme e é caracterizada pela anovulação crônica e hiperandrogenismo. A obesidade central e a resistência insulínica (RI) são freqüentes na SOP e desempenham um papel fundamental na etiopatogenia da síndrome metabólica (SM). O hiperandrogenismo tem sido questionado como um fator importante no desenvolvimento da SM em mulheres com SOP. Verificar se o hiperandrogenismo influencia no desenvolvimento de síndrome metabólica em pacientes com SOP. Foram avaliados retrospectivamente os dados clínicos, bioquímicos e ultrassonográficos de 180 mulheres com SOP diagnosticadas pelos critérios de Rotterdam e de 70 mulheres com obesidade simples. As pacientes com SOP foram classificadas de acordo com o índice de massa corporal (IMC) em SOP não obesas e SOP obesas. As pacientes obesas simples não apresentaram hiperandrogenismo clínico nem bioquímico. O índice de sensibilidade à insulínica (ISI) foi avaliado pelo HOMA-IR e ISI de Matsuda e DeFronzo. A SM foi diagnosticada pelos critérios do NCEP-ATP III com modificações sugeridas pelo consenso de Rotterdam. A média de idade das pacientes foi de 27,3 + 4,7 no grupo das pacientes SOP não obesas; 28,8 + 5,0 nas SOP obesas e 27,4 + 5,2 nas obesas simples (p=0, 0773), e o IMC foi de 25,1+3,0 kg/m2; 37,0+ 5,5 kg/m2 e 36,0+ 4,2 kg/m2 respectivamente (p<0, 001). A prevalência de RI e SM não diferiu entre as pacientes obesas com e sem SOP e foi significativamente maior do que nas SOP não obesas (p<0, 001).

Central obesity and insulin resistance (IR) are frequent in PCOS and play a leading role in the etiopathogeny of metabolic syndrome (MS). Hyperandrogenism has been suggested as an important factor in the development of MS in women with PCOS. To determine whether hyperandrogenism influences the development of metabolic syndrome in patients with PCOS. Clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographic data on 180 women with PCOS, as diagnosed by the Rotterdam criteria, and 70 women with simple obesity were retrospectively analyzed. According to body mass index, PCOS patients were classified as nonobese with PCOS and obese with PCOS. No clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism was observed in patients with simple obesity. Insulin sensitivity indices (ISI) were assessed as proposed by HOMA-IR and ISI (Matsuda and De Fronzo). MS was diagnosed based on NCEP-ATP III criteria with modifications suggested by the Rotterdam consensus. Mean age was 27.3 + 4.7 among non-obese patients with PCOS, 28.8 + 5.0 in obese patients with POS, and 27.4 + 5.2 in those with simple obesity (p=0.0773), while BMI was 25.1+3.0 kg/m2, 37.0+ 5.5 kg/m2 and 36.0+ 4.2 kg/m2, respectively (p<0.001). The prevalence of IR and MS did not differ between obese patients with and without PCOS, and was significantly higher in these patients than in non-obese women with PCOS (p<0.001). The prevalence of MS, however, was higher... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

Impact de la protéine de morue sur la sensibilité à l'insuline, le métabolisme du glucose et divers marqueurs cardiovasculaires chez des femmes atteintes du syndrome des ovaires polykystiques

Talbot, Émilie 20 April 2018 (has links)
Ce mémoire présente les travaux dont l'objectif était de comparer les effets de la protéine de morue à ceux d'autres protéines animales sur la sensibilité à l'insuline, le métabolisme du glucose et divers marqueurs cardiovasculaires chez des femmes présentant un syndrome des ovaires polykystiques. Neuf femmes ont consommé pendant trois mois un régime alimentaire semi-contrôle incluant un repas par jour composé de protéine de morue et un régime similaire contenant des protéines provenant du boeuf, du porc, du veau, des oeufs et des produits laitiers (BPVOL), dans un dispositif de type chassé-croisé. Durant le test d'hyperglycémie provoquée par voie orale (HGPO), les niveaux de glucose et d'insuline étaient abaissés principalement au cours des 30 premières minutes suite à la consommation de protéine de morue comparativement aux autres protéines animales. La sensibilité à l'insuline et le profil lipidique sont demeurés inchangés. Nos résultats suggèrent qu'au cours de la phase initale d'un HGPO, la consommation d'un repas de morue par jour peut entraîner une meilleure réponse glycémique et insulinémique chez ces femmes.

Toward Building A Social Robot With An Emotion-based Internal Control

Marpaung, Andreas 01 January 2004 (has links)
In this thesis, we aim at modeling some aspects of the functional role of emotions on an autonomous embodied agent. We begin by describing our robotic prototype, Cherry--a robot with the task of being a tour guide and an office assistant for the Computer Science Department at the University of Central Florida. Cherry did not have a formal emotion representation of internal states, but did have the ability to express emotions through her multimodal interface. The thesis presents the results of a survey we performed via our social informatics approach where we found that: (1) the idea of having emotions in a robot was warmly accepted by Cherry's users, and (2) the intended users were pleased with our initial interface design and functionalities. Guided by these results, we transferred our previous code to a human-height and more robust robot--Petra, the PeopleBot™--where we began to build a formal emotion mechanism and representation for internal states to correspond to the external expressions of Cherry's interface. We describe our overall three-layered architecture, and propose the design of the sensory motor level (the first layer of the three-layered architecture) inspired by the Multilevel Process Theory of Emotion on one hand, and hybrid robotic architecture on the other hand. The sensory-motor level receives and processes incoming stimuli with fuzzy logic and produces emotion-like states without any further willful planning or learning. We will discuss how Petra has been equipped with sonar and vision for obstacle avoidance as well as vision for face recognition, which are used when she roams around the hallway to engage in social interactions with humans. We hope that the sensory motor level in Petra could serve as a foundation for further works in modeling the three-layered architecture of the Emotion State Generator.
