Objective: Self-stigma in overweight and obese individuals has strong associations with impairment in mental and global health. This study sought to explore self-compassion as a psychological resource in the self-stigma process. Methods: In a 2012 representative German population survey of N = 1,158 overweight and obese individuals, self-compassion was examined as a mediator between self-stigma and mental and physical health outcomes, including BMI (kg/m 2 ), using structural equation modeling and controlling for sociodemographic factors. Results: Psychological variables were assessed using validated self-report questionnaires. Self-compassion partially mediated the relationships between self-stigma and depression, somatic symptoms, and health status / quality of life, lowering the predictive effect of self-stigma on the outcomes by approximately one-third. In contrast, self-compassion, because it was unrelated to BMI, did not mediate the association between self-stigma and BMI. Conclusion: Self-compassion has the potential to act as a buffer against the mental and global health detriments of self-stigma in overweight and obesity and could thus represent a target for interventions to reduce self-stigma and prevent these health impairments. In order to influence the association between self-stigma and BMI, self-compassion should conceptually be linked to weight management.

In this sense, the construction of a assistance protocol specific to people with venous ulcers (VU) can help professionals of the Family Health Strategy both in patient assessment as and in establishment of quality assistance. Thus, this study aimed to analyse the validity of a multiprofessional assistance protocol for people with venous ulcers in primary care by health professionals using Delphi technique. This is a quantitative study, the methodological type conducted in two steps: first step related to integrative literature review to subsidize the development of the protocol, then these aspects were organized and proposed to the judges of the study through the Delphi technique. The study was initiated after approval by the Research Ethics Committee. The first step was performed between August and September 2012, in the virtual library of health, in the page of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, of Municipal Health Secretariat and international guidelines of associations and in the subsequent step carried out between September 2012 to January 2013, was performed search by Lattes platform of the National Council of Technological and Scientific Development, in order to identify health professionals in Brazil who act as judges of the instrument and then, via online, the form was submitted to them.The sample for the second step was 51 judges in the first round and 35 for the second round Delphi. The analysis was done by adopting Kappa index ≥ 0.81 and Content Validity Index (CVI)> 0.80. In the first submission for the judges, items that did not reach Kappa and CVI established were: request / realization / test results, demographic data, medical history, risk factors, verification of pain / vital signs / pulse / infection signs / lesion location/ edema and pain treatment. After removal of items which have not obtained Kappa or CVI index established, it was found achieving optimal levels of these index for the categories. In the next step was the ressubmiss?o of protocol to judges through the Delphi technique in it was found that, of the 15 categories of the protocol, 12 presented higher scores in Delphi 2 phase and the other three categories remained the same Kappa and IVC of the previous phase. As for the average of evaluation requirements of the protocol was found that the scores assigned by the judges were higher in the second phase in nine of the 10 items, remaining the same in only one of the items indicating validity of the instrument before the consensus of the judges. Thus, we accepted the alternative hypothesis in this study, as they were obtained in the second Delphi phase the validity index greater than or equal to the Delphi 1 phase. The formulation of this assistance protocol valid and reproducible will enable a reorganization and redesign of assistance, with standardization of actions and continuity of care for persons with venous ulcers in primary health care / As pessoas com ?lcera venosa constituem-se um importante problema de sa?de p?blica, o seu tratamento ? oneroso e necessitam de uma assist?ncia prestada por profissionais capacitados, sistematizada por meio de protocolos, contudo o que se encontra na assist?ncia ? que o manejo a este grupo de pessoas difere do que ? preconizado na literatura cient?fica, interferindo na cicatriza??o da ferida e na qualidade de vida dos acometidos. Nesse sentido, a constru??o de um protocolo de assist?ncia espec?fico para pessoas com ?lcera venosa (UV) pode auxiliar os profissionais da Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia tanto na avalia??o do paciente como no estabelecimento de uma assist?ncia de qualidade. Assim, este estudo objetivou analisar a validade de um protocolo de assist?ncia multiprofissional a pessoas com ?lcera venosa na aten??o prim?ria por profissionais de sa?de mediante t?cnica Delphi. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, do tipo metodol?gico realizado em duas etapas: primeira etapa referente a revis?o integrativa da literatura para subsidiar a elabora??o do protocolo; em seguida, esses aspectos foram organizados e propostos aos ju?zes do estudo por meio da t?cnica Delphi. O estudo foi iniciado ap?s aprova??o do Comit? de ?tica em Pesquisa. A primeira etapa foi realizada entre agosto e setembro de 2012, na biblioteca virtual de sa?de, na p?gina da Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior, de Secretarias Municipais de Sa?de e guidelines de associa??es internacionais e na etapa subsequente realizada no per?odo de setembro de 2012 a janeiro de 2013, realizou-se busca por meio da plataforma Lattes do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico, a fim de identificar profissionais de sa?de do Brasil que atuassem como ju?zes do instrumento e em seguida, via online, submeteu-se o formul?rio aos pesquisados. A amostra para a segunda etapa foi de 51 ju?zes na primeira rodada e de 35 para a segunda rodada Delphi. A an?lise foi feita adotando-se ?ndice Kappa ≥0,81 e ?ndice de Validade de Conte?do (IVC)>0,80. Na primeira submiss?o aos ju?zes, os itens que n?o atingiram os ?ndices Kappa e IVC estabelecidos pertenciam as categorias: solicita??o/ realiza??o/ resultados de exames, dados sociodemogr?ficos, anamnese, fatores de risco, verifica??o de dor/ sinais vitais/ pulso/ sinais de infec??o/ localiza??o da les?o/ edema e tratamento da dor. Ap?s a remo??o dos itens que n?o obtiveram os ?ndices Kappa ou IVC estabelecidos, verificou-se alcance de n?veis ?timos desses ?ndices para as categorias. Na etapa seguinte houve a ressubmiss?o do protocolo aos ju?zes por meio da t?cnica Delphi em que se verificou que, das 15 categorias do protocolo, 12 apresentaram melhores escores na fase Delphi 2 e as outras tr?s categorias mantiveram os mesmos ?ndices Kappa e IVC da fase anterior. Quanto ? m?dia dos requisitos de avalia??o do protocolo verificou-se que as notas atribu?das pelos ju?zes na segunda fase foram maiores em nove dos 10 itens, permanecendo a mesma em apenas um dos itens indicando validade do instrumento perante o consenso dos ju?zes. Assim, aceita-se a hip?tese alternativa no estudo, a medida que foram obtidos na fase Delphi 2 ?ndices de validade maiores ou iguais aos da fase Delphi1. A formula??o deste protocolo de assist?ncia v?lido pode embasar a reorganiza??o e replanejamento da assist?ncia, com padroniza??o das a??es e a continuidade da assist?ncia ?s pessoas com ?lcera venosa na aten??o prim?ria
