Pouco estudos descrevem a qualidade de vida (QV) em pacientes com dor neuropática hansênica (DNH), presente na doença. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a QV de pacientes acometidos pela hanseníase utilizando os questionários WHOQOL-Bref e SF-36 e, investigar a influência da atividade física na QV de pacientes com DNH. Trata-se de um estudo Transversal e de Intervenção Self-control, em que foram selecionados 80 pacientes a partir de amostra de conveniência da Unidade Básica de Saúde da Vila Santo Antônio do Prata (Igarapé Açú/Pará) e Ambulatório de Dermatologia do Núcleo de Medicina Tropical da Universidade Federal do Pará (Belém/Pará). Os pacientes responderam aos questionários de avaliação de QV propostos e os casos diagnosticados com DNH participaram pelo período de 90 dias de um protocolo de Exercício Físico. No dia zero e após o período da intervenção, foram aferidas a força da preensão palmar e a flexibilidade de membros superiores e inferiores. Os resultados mostram maiores médias de QV em pacientes com ausência de DNH. Houve melhora significativa nos domínios da QV do grupo com DNH após o período de intervenção. O exercício físico deve ser incentivado enquanto proposta terapêutica para prevenção de sequelas físicas e de DNH crônica. A avaliação da QV relacionada à saúde de pacientes hansenianos pode ser uma estratégia preponderante para melhor prevenir, tratar e curar a doença nas regiões endêmicas do Brasil. / Leprosy is an infectious disease that affects the skin, peripheral nerves, causes pain, physical and psychological consequences. Some studies describe the quality of life (QOL) in patients with leprosy neuropathic pain (DNH) in this disease. The objective of this research was to evaluate the QL of patients affected by leprosy using the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire and SF-36 and investigate the influence of physical activity on QL in patients with DNH. This is a Transversal study and intervention Self-control, in which 80 patients were selected from a convenience sample of Basic Health Unit of Vila Santo Antonio do Prata (Igarapé Açú / Pará) and the Dermatology Clinic of the Center for Tropical medicine, from Federal University of Pará (Belém / Pará). The patients answered evaluation questionnaires of QL proposed and diagnosed cases with DNH attended by 90 days of physical activity protocol. On zero day and after the intervention period were measured the power of palmar prehension and flexibility of upper and lower limbs. The results show higher averages of QL in patients with absence of DNH. There were significant improvements in the dominion of QL with DNH group after the intervention period. Physical activity should be encouraged as a therapeutic proposal for the prevention of chronic physical consequences and DNH and the evaluation of QL associated with health of leprosy patients can be a predominant strategy to better prevent, treat and cure the disease in endemic regions of this country.

Il est intuitif qu'avec de nouveaux outils, il devient possible d'explorer de nouveaux domaines de la physique. Les champs électromagnétiques ultra-rapides sont l'un de ces outils, ils permettent de sonder la matière à de nouvelles échelles de temps, à la fois pour développer de nouvelles applications et pour la recherche fondamentale. Néanmoins, ces champs constituent en eux-mêmes un phénomène méritant d'être analysé et étudié. Le travail présenté ici est divisé en deux parties, dont la première s'occupe de la génération et amplification de lasers ultracourtes. L'amplification paramétrique optique est discutée dans les différentes configurations, notamment dans le cas où le signal a une dérivé angulaire spectrale. On discute aussi deux oscillateurs à blocage de mode en phase. Ont présente aussi une nouvelle manière d'étudier son comportement en fonction des dimensions de la sous-cavité. La mesure de ces phénomènes représente également un défi en raison de l'échelle temporelle extrêmement réduite à laquelle ces phénomènes se produisent, échelle bien trop petite pour des méthodes de mesure traditionnelles. Dans ce manuscrit, nous avons abordé deux techniques de mesure bien connues: l'autocorrélation interférométrique (IAC) du second ordre et la corrélation croisée du 3ème ordre (TOCC). Avec l'IAC et une mesure de la puissance spectrale du champ, il est possible de reconstruire intégralement le champ électrique tandis que le TOCC associé à l'autocorrélation en intensité détermine le profil en intensité de manière unique, et ont présente des algorithmes que font la reconstruction avec un haut contraste. Nous avons par ailleurs étudié la réalisation d'une nouvelle configuration de corrélateur croisé monocoup.

The effects of these programs on the participants quality of life and physical parameters are often unknown, and require investigation. This study s purpose was to develop a physical therapy collective intervention and understand how the programs São Carlos Senior University and the Geriatric Revitalizations influence quality of life, strength, flexibility, dynamic balance and physical conditioning of the participants. As a result of this study, four papers were produced. Paper one discusses the physical therapist participation at Senior Universities for physical training in a community-based program. It also describes an intervention group therapy as a part of an interdisciplinary program at São Carlos Senior University. The second paper compares the psychometric properties and correlations of two quality of life instruments, the Medical Outcomes Study 36 Item Short-Form health survey (SF-36) and The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF, in a sample of Brazilian elderly. Both scales showed acceptable reliability, but a poor correlation was observed between the two questionnaires related fields. The WHOQOL-BREF seems to be a better choice for an overall assessment of quality of life and the SF-36 can better discriminate between health-related known groups. The third paper presents the influence on quality of life of middle-aged and elderly post 10-month intervention at São Carlos Senior University and Geriatric Revitalization Program. UATI Group showed significant increase in quality of life level according to the overall WHOQOL bref score; REVT Group showed significant increase in health related domains. Both groups showed improvement when compared to the Control Group. The forth paper presents a 6-month, 1, 2 and three-year follow-up of Senior University and Geriatric Revitalization in the physical variables of the participants. REVT Group showed better results than UATI Group. Both intervention-groups showed better results than Control Group. These community-based programs contributed to strength, flexibility, dynamic balance and physical conditioning improvement or maintenance. Despite the differences, both programs improved quality of life and physical parameters in the participants. Senior University and Geriatric Revitalization can be considered valid choices as assistance programs in the aging process. / Diferentes programas específicos para idosos tem sido propostos para assistir e promover envelhecimento saudável, inclusive protocolos de Fisioterapia. Os efeitos de muitos desses programas na qualidade de vida e parâmetros físicos dos participantes ainda requerem investigação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral desenvolver uma intervenção de fisioterapia em grupo e avaliar a influência dos programas da Universidade Aberta da Terceira Idade e do Projeto de Revitalização Geriátrica sobre a qualidade de vida, força muscular, flexibilidade, controle postural e condicionamento nos participantes. São apresentados quatro artigos. O artigo um discute a inserção do fisioterapeuta no contexto da Universidade da Terceira Idade para treinamento físico de idosos e atenção coletiva. Além disso, descreve a experiência do programa de fisioterapia em grupo como parte de um trabalho transdisciplinar da Universidade da Terceira Idade de São Carlos. O segundo artigo compara as propriedades psicométricas e correlações entre duas medidas de qualidade de vida: o Medical Outcomes Study 36 Item Short-Form health survey (SF-36) e o Instrumento de Avaliação de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial de Saúde (WHOQOL-BREF). Os instrumentos apresentaram boa confiabilidade, mas uma fraca correlação foi observada entre domínios correlatos dos questionários. O WHOQOL-BREF mostrou ser o instrumento mais adequado para avaliação da qualidade de vida percebida, de uma maneira global e o SF-36 parece adaptar-se melhor a populações com condições clínicas mais homogêneas. O terceiro artigo apresenta os resultados da melhoria de qualidade de vida após 10 meses de intervenção desses dois programas. O Grupo da Universidade da Terceira Idade melhorou nos Domínios da qualidade de vida, apresentando melhor resultado que o Grupo da Revitalização Geriátrica, que melhorou nos aspectos ligados à saúde e ao físico. Porém ambos os grupos foram melhor que o Grupo Controle. O quarto artigo apresenta os resultados do acompanhamento dos parâmetros físicos após seis meses, um, dois e três anos desses programas. O Grupo da Revitalização Geriátrica apresentou melhores resultados que o Grupo da Universidade da Terceira Idade. Ambos os grupos foram melhor que o Grupo Controle. Esses programas contribuíram para o aumento ou manutenção da força muscular, flexibilidade, equilíbrio e condicionamento físico dos participantes. A Universidade da Terceira Idade de São Carlos e a Revitalização Geriátrica contribuíram para o aumento da qualidade de vida de acordo com o WHOQOL-BREF e parâmetros físicos dos participantes, representando uma opção na atenção ao idoso.

Due to the successful rollout of the Antiretroviral Therapy Program, an increasing number of perinatally HIV infected adolescents are emerging into young adulthood throughout Botswana. Young adulthood is a critical period of human development, with long-lasting implications for a person’s economic security, health and well-being. During this time, young women and men normally complete school, find employment and start working, develop relationships, form families, bear children and pursue those things that help set them on the path to healthy and productive adult life. However, the presence of a chronic illness such as HIV can interfere with the achievement of the developmental milestones of young adulthood and affect their Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that affected the HRQOL of young adults living with perinatally acquired HIV (YALPH) and to propose policy guidelines to promote their HRQOL. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory research design was used. HRQOL assessments were made using the WHOQOL-HIV BREF instrument. Data about the clinical characteristics of the respondents was obtained from medical records. In-depth interviews were conducted with a purposefully selected subsample of respondents who completed the WHOQOL-HIV BREF instrument. All the respondents were recruited from Botswana-Baylor Children’s Clinical Centre of Excellence, in Gaborone, Botswana. Data were analyzed using SPSS Inc. software version 16.0 (statistical package for social science, SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). The study population consisted of 509 YALPH including 255 (50.1%) females and 254 (49.9%) males. The mean age of the population was 21.7 (± 2.6) years (range 18-29.8 years). The majority of the respondents were single (98.1%), living in their parental homes (90.8%), neither in school nor working (47.35%) and 14% were parents (range 1-3 children). The mean duration on ART was 12.4 years (± 4.0). Based on the BMI classifications by WHO, 38.5% of respondents were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) and 7.3% were overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2). Unsuppressed viral load (>400 cell/mL) occurred in 13.4% of the sample. Most respondents had good HROQL (78.4%). The highest mean HRQOL score was recorded in the Physical domain (15.4 (± 2.9) and the lowest in the Environment domain 13.8 (± 2.7). The results fitted using the multivariable logistic regression suggest the odds for good general QOL were increased amongst individuals with a higher level of education and 6 those who were employed. The odds for good general QOL were reduced for individuals with unsuppressed viral load (> 400 cells/mm2) and those who had illnesses (self-reported). The odds for good general QOL increased by almost two folds (OR = 1.97, 95% CI = (1.11 – 3.48)) when comparing respondents with higher level of education against those with lower education. The odds for good general QOL were increased for employed respondents OR = 1.73 (95% CI = (0.92 – 3.23) when compared to the unemployed group. Whereas the odds for good general QOL declined by almost two folds (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = (0.33 – 1.08)) amongst patients with VL > 400 cell/mm2 compared to those with VL < 400 cells/mm2. Also, respondents who were ill had lower odds ratios for good general QOL compared to those who were not ill (OR = 0.42, 95% CI = (0.25 – 0.70)). The results of in-depth interviews with 45 respondents showed that the majority of YALPH were in good physical health and they had positive perspectives about the future including health, completing school, finding employment, marriage and childbearing. The main sources of social support for YALPH were close family members and health care workers (HCWs). However, worries and concerns about disclosure, fear of stigma, lack of financial independence, and limited social relationships and networks were the most identified stressors that put the YALPH at risk of compromised HRQOL. Some sub-groups of YALPH were at higher risk for poor HRQOL including: young mothers, YALPH who were aging out of institutional care, YALPH with disabilities and impairments, YALPH who were neither in school nor working and YALPH with maladaptive coping strategies. Therefore, the promotion of the HRQOL of YALPH will require policies and interventions to increase educational attainment, provide employment and livelihood opportunities, promote good ART adherence and VL suppression, and effectively prevent and manage illnesses. Special attention should be paid to sub-groups of YALPH who are at increased risk of compromised HRQOL. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)

Dans les pays industrialisés tels que le Canada, les maladies chroniques non transmissibles comme le diabète et les maladies cardiovasculaires sont responsables de la majorité de la mortalité prématurée. Les comportements liés à la santé, comme le tabagisme, ont un impact majeur sur le développement de ces maladies. Les infirmières et les infirmiers , par le biais d’une approche motivationnelle nommée counseling bref en changement de comportement (CBCC), peuvent soutenir les patients dans le changement de comportement lié la santé. Toutefois, les études soulignent des barrières inhérentes à la mise en œuvre du CBCC par les infirmières en milieu hospitalier, comme le manque d’habiletés et des normes sociales défavorables. Cette thèse par articles présente les résultats d’une étude visant à (1) développer un programme de formation numérique adaptatif basé sur la théorie portant sur le CBCC pour la promotion de la cessation tabagique, l’adoption de saines habitudes alimentaires et l’adhésion aux traitements médicamenteux (E_MOTIVA) et (2) évaluer son effet auprès d’infirmières et d’étudiantes en sciences infirmières par un essai clinique à répartition aléatoire (ECR) en comparaison avec un programme de formation numérique standardisé partiellement basé sur la théorie (E_MOTIVB). Le programme E_MOTIVA a été développé selon une démarche systématique en fonction d’appuis empiriques et théoriques, incluant la Théorie du Comportement Planifié, la Théorie de la Charge Cognitive et le concept d’engagement. Le contenu du programme E_MOTIVA a été développé de manière à cibler les barrières et les déterminants théoriques associés à la mise en œuvre du CBCC chez des infirmières et des étudiantes en sciences infirmières (p. ex., attitude, normes subjectives, connaissances, intention). L’adaptation du programme E_MOTIVA a été opérationnalisée à différents moments lors du parcours d’apprentissage afin d’optimiser la charge cognitive et l’engagement des infirmières et étudiantes. Le programme E_MOTIVA incluait trois sessions de formation durant respectivement un maximum de 50, 60 et 20 minutes. Il pouvait être complété en ligne depuis un téléphone intelligent, une tablette ou un ordinateur. Nous avons mené un ECR à deux groupes parallèles en simple aveugle auprès de 102 infirmières et étudiantes inscrites dans un programme de baccalauréat en sciences infirmières au Canada afin d’évaluer le programme E_MOTIVA (groupe expérimental ; n = 51) en comparaison avec le programme E_MOTIVB (groupe contrôle ; n = 51). L’effet des programmes a été évalué sur 1) le changement dans l’intention de mettre en œuvre du CBCC pour la promotion de la cessation tabagique, l’adoption de saines habitudes alimentaires et l’adhésion aux traitements médicamenteux (H1) ; 2) les changements dans les variables de la Théorie du Comportement Planifié (H2 à H7) ; 3) la charge cognitive (H8 à H10) ; et 4) l’engagement (H11, H12). Les analyses de covariance n’ont indiqué aucune différence significative dans les scores de changement dans l’intention de mettre en œuvre du CBCC entre deux groupes de l’étude. Cependant, le score de changement dans l’intention était plus élevé dans le groupe expérimental (10,22 ± 3,34) que dans le groupe contrôle (9,04 ± 2,80) (p = 0,787). Il n’y avait pas de différence significative entre les groupes quant aux changements sur le plan des autres variables de la Théorie du Comportement Planifié. Dans les deux groupes, les scores d’intention (H1), d’attitude (H2), de normes subjectives (H3), de contrôle comportemental perçu (H4), de croyances comportementales (H5) et de croyances de contrôle (H7) se sont tous améliorés de manière significative entre les mesures de base et finales. Aucune différence significative n’a été observée entre les groupes concernant la charge cognitive et l’engagement. Cette étude a permis de développer un programme de formation numérique adaptatif basé sur la théorie (E_MOTIVA) portant sur le CBCC destiné aux infirmières et aux étudiantes en sciences infirmières. Les résultats suggèrent que les programmes E_MOTIVA et E_MOTIVB ont eu des effets positifs similaires sur le plan de l’intention de mettre en œuvre du CBCC chez les infirmières et les étudiantes. Des recommandations sont formulées à l’effet d’orienter la recherche vers la distinction entre l’approche basée sur la théorie et le processus d’adaptation et d’explorer des avenues de recherche visant la transformation de l’intention de mettre en œuvre du CBCC en sa mise en œuvre effective en pratique. / In industrialized countries such as Canada, chronic noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease are the cause of most premature mortality. Unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, have a major impact on the development of these diseases. Nurses can support patients in initiating and sustaining health behavior change through a motivational and collaborative approach called brief behavior change counseling (BBCC). However, studies highlight several barriers to nurses’ implementation of BBCC in hospitals, including lack of skills and unfavorable social norms. This thesis by articles presents the result of a study aiming to (1) develop a theory-based adaptive e-learning program on BBCC for the promotion of smoking cessation, the adoption of healthy eating habits and medication adherence (E_MOTIVA), and then (2) to evaluate its effect with nurses and nursing students in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared with a standardized e-learning program partially based on theory (E_MOTIVB). The E_MOTIVA program was developed following a systematic approach and informed by empirical data and theory, including the Theory of Planned Behavior, Cognitive Load Theory and the concept of engagement. The content of the E_MOTIVA program has been developed in such a way as to target the barriers and theoretical determinants of BBCC implementation in nurses and nursing students (e.g., attitude, subjective norms, knowledge, intention). The adaptation of the E_MOTIVA program was operationalized at different times during learning to optimize cognitive load and engagement in nurses and students. The E_MOTIVA program included three training sessions lasting respectively a maximum of 50, 60 and 20 minutes. It could be completed over the Internet from a smartphone, tablet or computer. We then conducted a two group, single blind, RCT with 102 nurses and students enrolled in a baccalaureate nursing program in Canada to evaluate the E_MOTIVA program (experimental group; n = 51) compared to the E_MOTIVB standardized e-learning program partially based on theory (control group; n = 51). The effect of the programs was assessed on: 1) change in intention to implement BBCC for promoting smoking cessation, adoption of healthy eating habits, and medication adherence (H1); 2) changes in the theoretical variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior (H2 to H7); 3) cognitive load (H8 to H10); and 4) experiential and behavioral engagement (H11, H12). Analyzes of covariance indicated no significant difference in the scores of change in intention to provide BBCC between the two study groups. However, the change in intention score was higher in the experimental group (10.22 ± 3.34) than in the control group (9.04 ± 2.80) (p = 0.787). There was also no significant difference between the two groups in the changes in the other variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior. In both groups, scores for intention (H1), attitude (H2), subjective norms (H3), perceived behavioral control (H4), behavioral beliefs (H5) and control beliefs (H7) all improved significantly between baseline and final measures. No significant difference was observed between groups in cognitive load and engagement. This study led to the development of a theory-based adaptive e-learning program (E_MOTIVA) on BBCC for nurses and nursing students. The results suggest that the E_MOTIVA and E_MOTIVB programs had similar positive effects in terms of intention to implement BBCC in nurses and students. Recommendations are made to guide future research towards the distinction between the theory-based approach and the adaptation process and to explore research avenues related to the transformation of the intention to provide BBCC into its actual provision in clinical practice.

Au XVIe siècle, nous assistons à deux types de récits criminels : dans la presse, les faits divers, produits sous la forme de « canards », et dans la littérature, les histoires tragiques, forme narrative brève essentiellement véridique et à tonalité pathétique. Lorsque Pierre Boaistuau, appelé aussi Launay, publie Les Histoires tragiques, il sélectionne six récits parmi les Novelle de Matteo Bandello. Le travail de Boaistuau ne se limite pas à la traduction de ces textes mais également à la fondation d’un genre qu’est l’histoire tragique. François de Belleforest, son ami, en poursuit la traduction et en varie les sources ; il publie entre 1559 et 1582 sept volumes d’histoires tragiques. Notre étude porte sur la justice, un thème clé pour comprendre les textes de ces deux auteurs. En effet, leurs récits révèlent un intérêt particulier pour les différentes formes de justice (humaine, naturelle et divine), pour le procès judiciaire et ses protagonistes. Nous analysons tous ces points ainsi que le thème de la transgression à travers différents crimes, principalement les crimes de paillardise (« macquerellage », rapt, viol et adultère). Notre réflexion porte également sur le châtiment et ses fonctions ainsi que sur le comportement du condamné au moment de son exécution. Enfin, nous nous intéressons aux stratégies discursives déployées par nos auteurs notamment à la rhétorique judiciaire et à la rhétorique délibérative. Les enjeux soulevés à travers l’étude du discours rhétorique permettent d’explorer les liens entre le discours judiciaire et le discours politique et donc entre justice et politique. Somme toute, la dernière partie de notre travail permet de cerner les rapports entre rhétorique, justice et politique. / In the sixteenth century, two types of criminal narratives predominate: short news items in the press, printed separately as canards, and brief narrative literary forms that constitute the tragic story genre, combining truth with a tone of pathos. When Pierre Boaistuau, also called Launay, publishes Les Histoires tragiques, he selects six stories from Matteo Bandello’s Novelle. Boaistuau's work is not limited to the translation of these texts but also establishes the tragic story genre. His friend François de Belleforest continues the translation and varies the sources; between 1559 and 1582 he published seven volumes of tragic stories. My thesis focuses on justice, a key theme for understanding the texts of these two authors. Indeed, their stories reveal a particular interest in the different forms of justice (human, natural and divine), in the judicial process and in its protagonists. I analyze all these points as well as the theme of transgression through an examination of various crimes, mainly crimes of debauchery ("macquerellage" –sex trafficking–, abduction, rape and adultery). I also consider the different functions of punishment as well as the behavior of the convicted person at the time of execution. Finally, I am interested in the discursive strategies deployed by these authors, including judicial rhetoric and deliberative rhetoric. The issues raised through the study of rhetoric make it possible to explore the links between judicial discourse and political discourse and therefore between justice and politics. The summative, final part of our work further elucidates the relationships between rhetoric, justice and politics.
