Background: The International Classification of Function, Disability and Health (ICF) describes health using 1424 categories from 4 components: body functions (BF), body structures (BS), activities and participation (AP) and contextual factors (environmental (EF) and personal (PF)). In this study the ICF was used to describe and compare aspects of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (AAV) measured in clinical trials and those important to clinicians and patients. Methods: Individual interviews and focus groups were used to capture the perspective of AAV patients. Clinicians’ perspective was obtained with an email-based questionnaire. Outcomes used in AAV randomized trials were extracted from results of a systematic review of literature. Identified concepts were mapped to the ICF according to previously published ICF linking rules, and the resulting lists of relevant AAV outcomes were compared descriptively. Results: Twelve individual interviews and 2 focus groups represented the patient perspective while responses from 27 clinicians yielded the clinicians’ perspective. Systematic literature review identified 67 clinical trials and 28 abstracts from which measured outcomes were extracted. All three perspectives demonstrated detailed coverage of ICF components BF and BS. In the component AP patients and clinicians identified similar ICF categories, a number of which were under-sampled by AAV trials. Contextual factors appear to be significantly more relevant to patients than clinicians and researchers. Conclusion: Patients and clinicians have different views of the relevance of various AAV outcomes, and these views differ from what is measured in clinical trials of AAV. This highlights the need for a broad and standardized approach to developing and selecting outcomes for complex medical conditions such as AAV.

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)

Para se avaliar o trabalho dos generalistas/ médicos de família, é necessário um adequado sistema de classificação das consultas ou encontros entre profissionais da saúde e pacientes. O sistema atualmente conhecido como Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID) começou seu desenvolvimento no século XIX e até sua quinta edição era apenas uma classificação de causas de morte. Após a sexta revisão, ela passou a ser um instrumento que envolvia morbidade também; porém, perdeu as características e princípios de um sistema de classificação. A Organização Mundial de Médicos de Família (WONCA) vem desenvolvendo, desde os anos 70, um compacto e robusto sistema de classificação chamado Classificação Internacional de Atenção Primária que se encontra atualmente na segunda versão (CIAP 2), apropriado para ser usado na atenção primária à saúde. Ela é baseada em três componentes principais: queixa do paciente (motivo da consulta), diagnóstico médico (problema) e processo (intervenção). Objetivo: este estudo objetivou avaliar os principais motivos da consulta, problemas e comorbidades nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, e testar o uso da CIAP2, baseado na avaliação de encontros, porém, inter-relacionando os motivos das consultas expostos pelos pacientes com os problemas encontrados pelos profissionais. Metodologia: um formulário em papel foi desenvolvido com informações gerais dos pacientes (idade, gênero, estado civil e ocupação) e informações sobre a consulta - natureza da consulta (agendada ou não), motivo(s) da consulta (descrito(s) com as palavras dos pacientes) e os problemas correspondentes (estabelecidos pelos profissionais da saúde voluntários), plano (referenciado para especialista ou outro profissional de atenção primária), exames complementares e prescrição de medicamentos. Os 90 generalistas/ médicos de família de Florianópolis que estavam trabalhando na Estratégia Saúde da Família foram convidados. Todos que aceitaram participar deveriam responder o formulário após cada consulta durante uma semana típica de trabalho por estação do ano. Um especialista em CIAP2 codificou todos os formulários preenchidos. Resultados: trinta voluntários aceitaram participar e 26 completaram pelo menos uma semana típica de trabalho. 5698 encontros foram avaliados com regular distribuição ao longo das estações do ano. Foram estabelecidos em média 1,625 motivos da consulta (MC) e 1,475 problemas por consulta. Os 30 problemas mais comuns representaram 50% de todas as consultas, o que é compatível com as referências internacionais disponíveis. Estes problemas mais frequentes pertencem a 13 capítulos diferentes da CIAP 2 (cada capítulo corresponde a um órgão ou sistema) com distribuição homogênea. Os dados apresentaram boa qualidade e nenhuma aberração, como hipertensão em recém nascido ou problema ginecológico em homem, foi encontrada. Foi possível calcular probabilidades pré teste de motivos das consultas para problemas comuns como infecção de vias aéreas superiores (IVAS) e perturbações depressivas bem como a probabilidade de diagnóstico de diferentes problemas para motivos da consulta frequentes como tosse e cefaléia. As comorbidades mais comuns encontradas foram hipertensão e diabetes e hipertensão e dislipidemia. Em apenas 26,6% de todas as consultas nenhum medicamento foi prescrito. Conclusão: o estudo encontrou dados que colaboram no raciocínio clínico, no planejamento do desenvolvimento profissional contínuo e na proteção do paciente contra diagnósticos inapropriados de doenças e suas possíveis intervenções desnecessárias. A CIAP 2 é uma potente ferramenta para ser usada na prática diária não para guiar o processo diagnóstico, mas para colaborar na produção e análise de dados transformando cada unidade básica de saúde em um campo de pesquisa / In order to evaluate the work of generalist/ family doctor it is necessary an adequate classification system. The nowadays known as International Classification of Diseases (ICD) started its development in 19`s century and until its fifth edition it was just a cause of death classification. After sixth revision it became a morbidity and mortality tool but lost its classification characteristics and principles. The World Organization of Family Doctors (Wonca) developed after 70`s one compact and strong classification system called International Classification of Primary Care, which is in its second edition (ICPC2), appropriate to be used in primary care settings. It is based on the three main consultation parts: patients complaint, doctor diagnose (problem), and process (intervention). Objective: this study aims to evaluate main complaints, problems, comorbidities in Florianópolis` health centers and test ICPC2 use in an encounter mode but interrelating complaints and problems. Method: one paper form was designed with patient general information (age, gender, civil state, occupation) and information regarding the consultation: nature of consultation (schedule or not), complaints (with patients words) and the correspondent problem (stated by health provider), plan (referred to specialist/ other primary care provider), complementary exams and prescriptions. All 90 generalists/ family doctors of Florianópolis who were working in Family Health Program were invited. Everyone should answer the form after each consultation during one typical work week per season along one year. One ICPC2 specialist coded all filled forms. Results: thirty volunteers accepted to participate and 26 completed at least one typical work week. 5698 encounters were evaluated with regular distribution among seasons. There were 1,625 complaints and 1,475 problems per consultation on average. The 30 most common problems represented 50% of all consultations which is compatible with international data available. These more frequent problems belong to 13 different chapters (each one corresponds to a different organ or body system) with unvarying distribution. Data collected presented a very good quality and no aberration as hypertension in new born or gynecological problems in a male was found. It was possible to calculate prior probability of complaints for common problems as upper respiratory infection acute and depressive disorder as well the probability of different problems for a frequent complaint as cough or headache. The most common commorbidities were hypertension and diabetes and hypertension and lipid disorder. Only in 26.6% of all encounters no medicine was prescribed. Conclusion: the study provided adequate data that help in clínical reasoning, continued professional development plan and patient protection against inappropriate diagnose and its consequent intervention. ICPC2 is a strong tool to be used in daily practice not to guide diagnosis process but to produce and analyze data and transform each health center in a research field.

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.

A presente dissertação tem o objetivo de discutir a proposta dos critérios diagnósticos da CID-11 para Incongruência de Gênero e comparar as diretrizes dos manuais diagnósticos DSM-5 e CID-10 para Disforia de Gênero e Transtorno de Identidade de Gênero, respectivamente. A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) está em processo de revisão da Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID). Diferentemente do sistema de classificação vigente (CID-10), as modificações propostas pela CID-11 no que diz respeito à condição transexual são norteadas pela compreensão de que esta não é doença mental e que o acesso à saúde desta população necessita ser ampliado. O artigo derivado desta dissertação compara os critérios nos manuais diagnósticos existentes, o DSM-5 e da CID-10, em uma amostra brasileira de pessoas transexuais que procuraram serviços de saúde especificamente para a transição física. Este é um estudo transversal multicêntrico que inclui uma amostra de 103 indivíduos que procuraram os serviços em um dos dois principais centros de referência no Brasil especializados em identidade de gênero. O método da pesquisa consiste na aplicação, por profissionais previamente treinados, de uma entrevista estruturada desenvolvida pelo WHO´s Field Study Coordination Group for ICD-11 Mental and Behavioural Disorders que contempla os critérios diagnósticos. Os resultados revelam que, embora exista desacordo teórico nos critérios há uma sobreposição entre os dois sistemas quanto à confirmação do diagnóstico, com o DSM-5 mais inclusivo. Adicionalmente, a média do tempo de espera para ter acesso a este tipo de serviço é de quase uma década. Nossos achados confirmam a ideia de que há pouco consenso quanto aos critérios diagnósticos dos comportamentos transgêneros, considerando a diversidade de contextos sociais e culturais e que seguem com pouca diferenciação tanto etiológica quanto clínica para fins diagnósticos. / The current work aims to discuss the proposed diagnostic criteria of ICD-11 for Gender Incongruence and compare the diagnostic criteria of DSM-5 and ICD-10 Gender Dysphoria and Gender Identity Disorder, respectively. The World Health Organization (WHO) is reviewing the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Despite the existing classification system (ICD-10), changes proposed by ICD-11 concerning transgender condition are guided by the understanding that it is not a mental illness and that this population needs health service access to be expanded. The study derived from this work aim to compare the criteria in the existing diagnostic manuals, the DSM-5 and the ICD-10, among a Brazilian sample of transgender persons who sought health services specifically for physical transition. This is a multicenter cross-sectional study that includes a sample of 103 subjects who sought services for gender identity disorder in one of two main reference centers in Brazil. The research method consists of applying a structured interview, which is comprised of the diagnostic criteria from the two manuals. The results reveal that although the theoretical disagreement in the criteria, there is an overlap among the two systems as diagnosis confirmation, to the DSM-5 more inclusive. Additionally, the average waiting time to access this type of service is nearly a decade. Although there is not a consensus concerning such on transgenderism in the diversity of social and cultural contexts, the findings confirm previous impression that despite efforts to determine the diagnostic settings, they follow slightly different as to etiology and different clinical presentations of this condition.
