Those pessimistic predictions that the HIV/AIDS used to kill and spread illness all over the society at first, fortunately, weren t right.And that made it possible for kids to reach the childhood and also the teen period even though they were born infected by the HIV .In this study, 30 children and adolescents with HIV/AIDS were submitted to the Child Quality of Life Score (AUQEI Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant Imagé) and also to a semistructured interview. The score obtained from the research were analyzed by the descriptive and inferential statistics. Among the results, it was found out that 42% of those interviewed was female and 58% was male. The average score found was 53.2 showing good Quality of Life among all the participants. The score gained from AUQEI was from 44 to 63 and only 20% of the children got numbers inferior to 48 which is the number that shows low Quality of Life. Comparing to the average found with the one showing 52.1 obtained from the authors of the research- it was found similar results with those whose Quality of Life was considered to be at the adequate standart.Numbers show that it was built 19 categories and another 108 subcategories,among which we can mention: Problem s Resolution(37.6%), Recreational/Culture Participation(15.4%),Medical Service (12.2%). These categories show the numbers that indicate a nice perception of personal quality of life. As a result, this study helped to better understand the Quality of Life from children s and adolescent s point of view and also to provide arrangements that will help develop the Quality of Life s standart based on the physical ,mental and development s needs of people in similar situations. / Este trabalho objetivou identificar, descrever e analisar os indicadores de qualidade de vida (QV) de crianças e adolescentes portadores de HIV/AIDS. As previsões pessimistas de que o HIV/AIDS matava e que tomava conta da sociedade no início da epidemia, não se concretizaram, sendo possível a chegada à infância e à adolescência de meninos e meninas infectados. Neste estudo, 30 crianças e adolescentes portadores de HIV/AIDS responderam à Escala de Qualidade de Vida da Criança (AUQEI - Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant Imagé) e uma Entrevista Semi-Estruturada. Os dados relativos à Escala foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e inferencial e entre os principais resultados destaca-se que desses, 42% (n=14) são do sexo feminino e 58% (n=16) do sexo masculino. A média do escore geral encontrado foi 53,2, demonstrando boa qualidade de vida entre os participantes. A faixa obtida de pontuação no AUQEI foi de 44 a 63 e 20% das crianças ficaram com pontuação inferior a 48 - ponto de corte que indica baixa QV. Comparando a média encontrada com a de 52,1 obtida pelos autores da escala, observam-se resultados semelhantes, corroborando que a qualidade de vida dos participantes está no padrão considerado adequado. No que se refere aos dados qualitativos foram construídas 19 categorias e 108 subcategorias, dentre as quais se destacam: Resolução de problema (37,6%), Participação em recreação/lazer/cultura (15,4%) e Seguimento ambulatorial (12,2%). Essas categorias corroboram os dados quantitativos que indicam boa percepção de QV pessoal. Concluise que o estudo contribuiu para uma maior compreensão sobre qualidade de vida na ótica da criança e do adolescente, além de ter promovido subsídios que viabilizarão estratégias de melhoria dos padrões de QV adequados às necessidades físicas, mentais e de desenvolvimento social de pessoas com características similares.

The aim of this study was to analyse ninth graders self reported screen based activities, sedentary time and musculoskeletal symptoms and pain intensity. The other aim was to examine changes regarding musculoskeletal pain and inactivity between ninth graders from a cross sectional study in year 2004. To meet this aim, following questions were designed: How is the relationship between screen based activities, inactivity, musculoskeletal symptoms, pain intensity and differences between girls and boys? How have musculoskeletal symptoms and screen time changed since year 2004? Method: The method used for this study was a quantitative method. The research was carried out using a questionnaire that was answered by pupils from 11 schools from all over Sweden. The response rate was 85 % (n=465). The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Mobile phones were used three times more by girls and TV Games were used seven times more by the boys.  Tablet computers were used more randomly by 80% of the youths. Headache occurred 58% and neck pain occurred 68 % with those who used mobile phone >3 and >5 hours per day. Backache occurred with 19% of those watching TV > 3 hrs. Headache ongoing for more than a month occurred twice as much among the girls and was perceived as having a severe effect on everyday life. Boys reported neck ache and shoulder ache longer than a month somewhat to a greater extent. Nearly twice as many of the boys considered themselves being more physical active and resemble the most active person. Total sedentary time was not significant but a third of the youths reported that sitting time for 7-9 hrs during weekdays and 4-6 hrs during weekends. Differences between 2004 and 2013 showed that occurrence of ache and continuous back pain decreased whilst headache and continuous back pain increased with the boys. Conclusions: Headaches, neck pain and backaches are common among 9th graders and it seems to be a relationship with time exposure to different screen activities. Further research investigating gender differences and pain is important, in particular among girls who seem to be more vulnerable. / Studiens syfte var att analysera niondeklassares självrapporterade skärmbaserade aktiviteter, fysisk inaktivitet samt muskuloskeletala symptom, smärtintensitet och påverkan i vardagen. Vidare var syftet att göra jämförelser med resultat från en tvärsnittsstudie år 2004 i samma skolor för att se eventuella skillnader. Frågeställningarna var: Hur ser sambandet ut med skärmbaserade aktiviteter, fysisk inaktivitet samt muskuloskeletala symtom, smärtintensitet och påverkan i vardagen? Finns några könsskillnader? Hur har muskuloskeletala besvär, inaktivitet och skärmbaserad tid förändrats i jämförelse med niondeklassare år 2004? Metod: En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med enkäter som besvarades av 465 elever (85 %) på 11 skolor. Populationen hämtades från SIH projektet år 2004 som bestod av ett slumpmässigt urval från skolor i hela Sverige. Resultat: Mobiltelefonen användes av tre gånger så många flickor, TV spel av sju gånger så många pojkar. Surfplatta användes aldrig eller sällan av 80 %. Nackvärk och huvudvärk förekom ofta bland 68 % respektive 58 % av de som använde mobilen >3 timmar eller mer. Ryggvärk förekom bland 19 % som tittade TV > 3 timmar. Huvudvärk mer än en månad förekom dubbelt så ofta hos flickor och upplevdes ha en svår påverkan i vardagen. Dubbelt så många pojkar ansåg sig mest fysiskt aktiva i vardagen och ansåg sig likna den person som är mest fysiskt aktiv. Stillasittande tid var inte signifikant men en tredjedel av ungdomarna uppgav att de sitter stilla 7-9 h på vardag och 4-6 h på helgdag. Mellan år 2004 och år 2013 ökade förekomsten av huvudvärk och pågående ryggsmärta bland pojkar. Slutsats: Smärta i huvud, nacke och rygg är ofta förekommande bland niondeklassare och samband tycks finnas med långvarig exponering av olika skärmbaserade aktiviteter Självrapporterad smärta har i jämförelse med en tvärsnittsstudie år 2004 minskat förutom huvudvärk och ryggsmärta som ökat bland pojkar. Vidare forskning kring könsskillnader och smärta är angeläget i synnerhet bland flickor som är mer drabbade.
