Engloba processos auto-perceptivos e avaliativos, que relacionam fatores ambientais, pessoais e comportamentais. Estas correlações podem ser observadas tanto na tríade de determinismo recíproco da Teoria Social Cognitiva (TSC), como na proposta Teoria de Ação de Nitsch, que norteia os estudos em motivação desta obra. Neste trabalho, a auto-eficácia é aplicada na compreensão do controle interno das convicções e percepções que envolvem a prática docente em Educação Física Adaptada (EFA), caracterizada por atender pessoas com necessidades especiais ou em condição de deficiência. O mesmo estudo é a continuação das pesquisas no mestrado, que analisou as crenças de auto-eficácia docente em Educação Física (EF). Nesta pesquisa, aprofundamos os estudos de auto-eficácia docente, selecionando um contexto peculiar de atuação em EF: a EFA. Também buscou-se identificar e investigar as fontes de (in)formação da auto-eficácia docente para este contexto. A problemática se encontra na análise das possíveis contribuições da auto-eficácia e a configuração de suas fontes formadoras na EFA, a motivação para a realização, bem como associações destes constructos com: satisfação, preferência de atuação profissional e disposição para continuidade docente em EF. Por meio de quatro instrumentos, aplicados em 311 profissionais atuantes ou que já tivessem atuado na área de EFA, destacam-se alguns fatores e aspectos relacionados à auto-eficácia docente e motivação profissional. Os resultados obtidos podem evidenciar as associações da auto-eficácia com a questão motivacional do professor, através de sua satisfação pessoal e disposição para continuar na carreira docente, bem como os níveis de esforço e persistência. Ou seja, as associações entre auto-eficácia e motivação docentes podem ser relacionadas às características pessoais (emoções, interesse e satisfação), aspectos sociais e comportamentais. A metodologia, através da Análise Estatística de Variância (ANOVA), Regressão Linear e Análise Multivariada (CLUSTERS associativos), promoveu análises destes parâmetros a respeito de suas capacidades de ensinar. A perspectiva social cognitiva e as propostas de estimulação das fontes de formação da auto-eficácia docente, bem como dos mecanismos auto-reflexivos do professor configuraram-se excelentes referenciais, comuns para as discussões sobre as convicções docentes, formação profissional em EFA e atuação com públicos de pessoas com deficiência em estudo(s) anterior(es) e nesta pesquisa. Os fatores experiência direta e experiência vicariante são as fontes mais potentes de formação de auto-eficácia docente em EFA, apresentando-se também os aspectos fisiológicos e emocionais diferenciais para o contexto da EFA, fato que pode explicar a diferenciação no trato entre professor e aluno com deficiência. Outro aspecto que se destaca é a proposta de Maddux, que determina 06 fontes de constituição da auto-eficácia, isolando o aspecto emocional como uma fonte separada dos aspectos fisiológicos. Este estudo aponta para as possibilidades de na formação se desenvolver a auto-eficácia docente em EF e EFA, através de estratégias de incremento de cada uma das fontes propostas e também permite observar a auto-eficácia como uma importante mediadora no processo motivacional do professor de EFA e do Motivo de Realização, com seus componentes (Nível de Aspiração, Atribuição Causal e Normas de Referência). / Abstract: The self-efficacy construct is characterized as the belief in individual abilities to organize and execute courses of action, necessary to perform certain tasks or feats directed to a goal. It encompasses self-perceived and evaluation procedures that relate environmental, personal and behavioral factors. These correlations can be observed in the reciprocal determinism triad of the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and in the Theory of Action proposed by Nitsch, which guides the motivation studies in this research. In this work, self-efficacy is applied in the understanding of the internal control of the beliefs and perceptions that are involved in teaching Adapted Physical Education (APE), characterized for the work with people with special needs or in disability condition. This study it is the continuation of the research done in the master degree, which examined the beliefs of self-efficacy in teaching Physical Education (PE). In this research, we deepen the studies on teacher's self-efficacy, selecting a specific context of work in Physical Education (PE): the Adapted Physical Education (APE). We also sought to identify and investigate the sources of (in) formation of teacher self-efficacy in this context. The problem lies in the analysis of the possible self-efficacy contributions and the configuration of its sources in APE, the achievement motivation, as well as the associations of these constructs with: satisfaction, preference of professional performance and willingness to continue teaching in PE. Using four instruments, applied to 311 professionals that work or have worked in the APE field, some factors and aspects related to teacher's self-efficacy and professional motivation were highlighted. The results obtained show the associations between self-efficacy and the teacher's motivation issue, through its personal satisfaction and willingness to continue in the teaching career, as well as the levels of effort and persistence. That is, the associations between teacher self-efficacy and motivation can be related to personal characteristics (emotions, interest and satisfaction), social and behavioral aspects. The methodology, through the Statistical Variance Analysis (ANOVA), Linear Regression and Multivariate Analysis (associative CLUSTERS), promoted the analysis of these parameters regarding their teaching abilities. The social cognitive perspective and the proposals of stimulation of teacher's self-efficacy sources, as well as the teacher's self-reflective mechanisms configure excellent references, common to debates on teaching beliefs, professional formation in APE and work with persons with disabilities, in previous studies and in this research. The factors direct experience and vicarious experience are the most powerful sources of teacher self-efficacy in APE, presenting also the unique physiological and emotional aspects in the APE context, which may explain the difference in treatment between teacher and student with disabilities. Another aspect that stands out is the Maddux proposal that determines 06 sources for self-efficacy constitution, isolating the emotional aspect as a separate source from the physiological aspects. This study points to the possibilities of developing self-efficacy in teaching PE and APE during graduation through the increment of each one of the proposed sources and it also allows the observation of the self-efficacy as an important mediator in the motivational process of the APE teacher and in the Achievement Motivation, with its components (Level of aspiration, Causal Attribution and Reference Standards). / Doutorado / Educação Fisica e Sociedade / Doutor em Educação Física

O Índice Dental Estético (DAI) tem sido amplamente usado em estudos envolvendo crianças e adolescentes, mas raramente usado em estudos com adultos. O propósito do presente estudo transversal foi avaliar a confiabilidade do DAI em uma amostra com 120 pacientes adultos, incluindo 46 do sexo masculino (38,3%) e 74 do sexo feminino (61,7%), entre 19 e 78 anos de idade (média de 49,2). Quase todos os pacientes apresentaram-se com muitas perdas dentárias e sem tratamento ortodôntico prévio. A prevalência e a severidade da má oclusão, a necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico, a autopercepção do paciente em relação à necessidade deste tipo de tratamento e a indicação, pelo cirurgião-dentista, foram avaliadas. Além disso, as opiniões subjetivas de 33 ortodontistas em 32 pacientes, por meio de fotografias intra e extrabucais e modelos de estudo foram também analisadas. Teste estatístico Kappa foi usado para avaliar o DAI e as opiniões dos profissionais. Testes qui-quadrado e de Fischer foram usados para verificar a correlação entre sexo, autopercepção e indicação do cirurgião-dentista e o escore do DAI. O teste t-student foi usado para investigar a correlação entre a idade e a necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico. A média do escore DAI foi de 38,5. Quase metade da amostra apresentou má oclusão severa ou muito severa, a qual sugeriu grande necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico. A confiabilidade intra e interexaminador do escore DAI e dos componentes foi muito alta (k>0,9). Inconsistências foram observadas na avaliação dos especialistas (k<0,4). Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes (P>0.05) nos escores do DAI entre sexo, idade, autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento, entretanto diferenças significantes foram encontradas em relação às indicações pelo cirurgião-dentista. Os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que a população de adultos com perdas dentárias tem elevada severidade da má oclusão e alta necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico. / Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) has been broadly used in studies comprising children and adolescent patients but rarely used in adult studies. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to evaluate the reliability of the DAI index in a sample of 120 adult patients, including 46 male (38.3%) and 74 female (61.7%), aged 19-78 years (mean 49.2). Several patients presented extensive dental missing and no orthodontic treatment. Prevalence, severity of malocclusion, orthodontic treatment need, self-perceived and dentist referral, were assessed. Further, subjective opinions of 33 orthodontists about 32 patients, based upon intra- and extra-oral photographs and study models were evaluated. Kappa statistics was used to assess the DAI and professional opinions. Chi-square test and Fischer test were used to test the correlation between DAI score and sex, self-perceived and dentist referral. Student ttest was used to test the correlation between age and orthodontic treatment need. The mean DAI score was 38.5. Almost half of the sample presented severe or very severe malocclusion, which suggests a substantial treatment need. Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability for DAI score and components was very high (k>0.9). Inconsistencies were observed in the professional evaluation (k<0.4). There were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) in DAI scores between sex, age, selfperceived need, but significant differences were found between dentist referrals. The findings in the present study suggest that adult dental missing population have high severe malocclusion and high orthodontic treatment need for treatment.

A necessidade de tratamento foi avaliada através do Índice de Estética Dental (DAI) e do Componente Estético do Índice de Necessidade de Tratamento Ortodôntico IOTN-AC. Também foi avaliado o impacto estético subjetivo da má oclusão através da Escala Ortodôntica do Impacto Estético Subjetivo (OASISOrthodontics Aesthetic Subjective Impacte Score). O estudo foi realizado com 451 crianças de 12 anos de idade e 373 responsáveis. A análise estatística foi realizada utilizando o χ2 e o Teste Exato de Fischer e Regressão Logística Múltipla. De acordo com o DAI, a maioria dos escolares necessitam de algum tipo de terapia ortodôntica (65,6%). A necessidade obrigatória de tratamento, relacionada às más oclusões severas, foram diagnosticadas em 13,7% dos estudantes, enquanto o restante foi dividido em altamente desejável (19,1%) e tratamento eletivo (32,8%). A Avaliação da necessidade estética (IOTN-AC) foi observada em 19,7% dos escolares, sendo 12,6% para casos limítrofes e 7,1% para necessidade definida. O impacto estético subjetivo (OASIS) foi observado em 14,9% dos estudantes. O IOTN e o OASIS, embora tenham apresentado associação estatística com o DAI, mostraram valores significativamente diferentes (p<0,001). A necessidade de tratamento autopercebida pelas crianças (83,8%) e percebida pelos responsáveis (85,6%) foram, ambas, maiores que a necessidade normativa (DAI), e mostraram associação significante com a necessidade normativa (DAI), quando ajustada pela escolaridade dos responsáveis e nível socioeconômico (p = 0,023). As variáveis sexo (p=0,042), tipo de escola (p=0,002), sobressaliência maxilar maior ou igual a 4mm (p=0,037) e sorriso gengival maior ou igual a 4mm (p=0,008) associaram-se significativamente com o impacto estético subjetivo da má oclusão (OASIS). Concluiu-se que a maioria dos escolares avaliados apresentou necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico de acordo com critérios normativos e pela percepção dos próprios escolares e seus responsáveis. Porém, esta necessidade diminui substancialmente quando avaliada apenas por critérios normativos estéticos, o que evidencia a divergência entre os resultados obtidos por diferentes instrumentos. / This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need in schoolchildren of 12 years of age in the city of Juíz de Fora, Minas Gerais and to compare it to the need perceived by the parents/guardians and children from the sample, evaluating potential associated sociodemographic factors. The need for treatment was assessed using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and the Aesthetic Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need IOTN-AC. It was assessed also the subjective aesthetic impact of malocclusion through OASIS (Orthodontics Aesthetic Subjective Impact Score). The study was conducted with 451 children from 12 years of age and 373 guardians. Statistical analysis was performed using x2 and Fisher's exact test and multiple logistic regression. According to the DAI, the majority of the schoolchildren need some type of orthodontic therapy (65.6%). The compulsory need for treatment, related to severe malocclusions, were diagnosed in 13.7% of the students, while the remaining was divided into highly desirable (19.1%) and elective treatment (32.8%). The evaluation of aesthetic need (IOTN-AC) was observed in 19.7% of the schoolchildren, being 12.6% for borderline cases and 7.1% for defined need. The aesthetic impact of malocclusion was observed in 14.9% of the students. The IOTNAC and the OASIS, although they showed a statistical association with the DAI, they have shown values significantly lower (p <0.001). The self-perceived need for treatment by the children (83.8%) and perceived by their parents/guardians (85.6%) were both higher than the normative need (DAI). The perceived need reported by the parents/guardians presented significant association with the normative treatment need, when adjusted by the parental education and the socioeconomic status (p = 0.023). The variables: gender (p = 0.042), type of school (p = 0.002), maxillary overjet greater than or equal to 4 mm (p = 0.037) and gingival smile greater than or equal to 4 mm (p = 0.008) were significantly associated with the subjective aesthetic impact of malocclusion (OASIS). It was concluded that the majority of the schoolchildren evaluated presented orthodontic treatment need according to normative criteria and by the perception of the schoolchildren themselves and their parents/guardians. However, this need diminishes substantially when measured only by normative aesthetic criteria, which highlights the discrepancy between the results obtained by different instruments.

The health care sector is one of the most information-intensive institutions in Sweden. Big investments in information technology have been made to ensure efficiency and quality within organisations in health care. This has led to high requirements in documentation and resulted in an increase in administration which gradually more often is done by nurses and doctors. A major problem is that it is difficult to gain access to the information recorded in all the different systems, which is their objective. This causes double documentation instead of being a support in follow-up performance.   This study investigates the use of a central warehouse to enhance how people work with statistics at a clinic. The purpose of the project was to identify need and issues surrounding the clinical internal statistic of the Department of Neurosurgery and then give an improvement proposal in the form of a prototype software tool. During the project a requirement analysis in the form of interviews and observations in the clinic was carried out and the project team could identify users, systems, artefacts and information needs were identified. The result of this work is a prototype which was developed in a user-centered process, where contact with the IT-department (e-Hälsa) provided opportunities for access to data. The project has contributed a survey of the clinic where information- and functional needs about administrative statistics have been compiled and are the basis for a prototype that demonstrates a possible concept for recording and monitoring.

Living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects physical, psychological and social dimensions, limiting the ability to engage in daily activities. Persons with IBD may need frequent and lifelong contacts with the healthcare (HC), highlighting the importance of quality care. High quality HC for persons with IBD involves a partnership between the HC professionals and the person living with the disease. Information is essential, the more a person knows about their disease, the more concordant and satisfied with their treatment they are likely to be. The overall aim of this thesis was to describe the knowledge need, life situation and perception of HC among persons living with IBD, in order to develop a questionnaire to evaluate the quality of HC. This thesis is based on three studies that are presented in four papers. Qualitative methods were used to describe aspects of life situation in relation to the disease, whereas quantitative method was used to develop a questionnaire measuring quality of care. Study I and II have an inductive qualitative design. In study I, qualitative interviews with 30 people were performed to describe the knowledge need and experience of critical incidents in daily life while living with IBD. The interviews in study I were analyzed using content analysis (results presented in Paper I) and critical incident technique (results presented in Paper II). In study II, the perceptions of HC among persons living with IBD was explored in five focus group interviews and two individual interviews, in total n=26. Study III aimed to develop and evaluate a questionnaire, measuring quality of care among persons with IBD, including 318 persons with IBD and 8 professionals. The knowledge need among persons with IBD focused on managing symptoms and course of the disease and learning to assimilate the information in order to manage everyday life. Losing bowel control was of great concern for most of the informants in the study. Many of the informants said that “the bowel ruled their life” and that it influenced them to a great extent in their daily lives. The perception of HC among persons with IBD meant being met with respect and mutual trust, receiving information at the right time, shared decision-making, competence and communication, access to care, accommodation, continuity of care and the pros and cons of specialized care. The quality of care questionnaire QoC-IBD was constructed in five dimensions, building on the results from Study I and II. The dimensions were trust and respect, decision-making, information, continuity of care and access to care consisting of 21 questions in total. QoC-IBD is a short, self-administrated questionnaire that measures experiences of healthcare among persons with IBD with promising validity and reliability. To improve quality of care, HC is recommended to consider individual care needs and take the person’s daily life and social context into account. The QoC-IBD questionnaire measures the subjective experience of quality of care. Further testing in clinical practice is necessary to evaluate if QoC-IBD can be used to evaluate the care given and areas of improvement in HC for persons living with IBD.

China is facing severe aging problems. It is estimated that in 2050, people over 60 in China will cover more than 25 percent population. How to make the elderly people’s life more meaningful and more fruitful becomes an urgent issue. To obtain the goal of setting up a learning society, as well as to loosen the heavy burden aroused by aging problem, community education is applied as an effective way to the elderly people widely to enhance their living standard. A lot of researches have been done on community education and the elderly education respectively abroad. China started to do such topic study later than Western countries but the speed of aging has soared during last 20 years. The blank of study especially the elderly people who live in rural area should aroused the attention of this society.  This field study is to find out the factors that may lead to the elderly people’s subjective factors of participation into community education. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and society support theory, with the help of questionnaire and interview, the author finds out the current situation of the elderly’s participation in community education in Shuyuan Township, and factors that may influence the frequency of participation. The author proposes several suggestions which can be used to improve current situation as policy adviser.

>Magister Scientiae - MSc / Background In the Western-Cape province, orthodontic treatment provided to government patients is limited to tertiary hospitals such as the Tygerberg Oral Health Centre (TOHC). This results in growing waiting lists which place a huge strain on resources of the facility. Objectives To determine: 1. The prevalence of malocclusion among 7-to-10-year-old children examined at dental clinics within the Tygerberg sub-district. 2. The types of malocclusion they present with. 3. Which of these malocclusions can be treated with interceptive orthodontic treatment. Methods An analytical, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out and quantitative methods were used to achieve the aim and objectives. The study sample consisted of 100 children, 46 male and 54 female, from Bellville and Bishop Lavis dental clinics. Dental examinations were done by one examiner on children between the ages of 7 and 10 years. Dental problems were identified which, if left untreated, could result in the need for more complex orthodontic treatment at a later stage. All the necessary ethical clearance was obtained. Results The results showed that there is a very large interceptive orthodontic treatment need (79%) at these clinics. A large proportion (70%) presented with detrimental habits. Thumbsucking was more prevalent among girls than boys. Other problems like mouthbreathing, lip wedging, deep bite, asymmetrical mobility of primary teeth, rotated lateral incisors and crossbites were found. The biggest concern was that 71% of the children had early loss of primary teeth and only 5% of children received restorations, resulting in a high prevalence of unfavourable molar relationships. All of these should be addressed early, thereby preventing the development of complex orthodontic problems or skeletal discrepancies. iv Conclusion Interceptive and preventive orthodontic treatment should be regarded as a primary health centre service, as it may reduce the need for costly fixed orthodontic treatment. The study showed that urgent intervention is necessary from the Department of Health to address this issue.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka förskollärares uppfattningar om bemötande och delaktighet för barn i behov av särskilt stöd, samt hur normer kan påverka detta. Datainsamlingen är gjord genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra förskollärare. Resultatet av studien kategoriseras genom likheter i respondenternas svar som svarar på frågeställningarna utifrån syftet. Den första frågeställningen berör förskollärares uppfattningar om bemötande av barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Den andra berör hur förskollärare arbetar med delaktighet för barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Resultatet påvisar att det inte finns ett sätt att bemöta alla barn i behov av särskilt stöd utan det är unikt för varje barn. Lyhördhet till barnet är av stor vikt för att kunna bemöta det enskilda barnet. Även verksamhetens fysiska miljö och oskrivna regler har påverkan för hur barnet reagerar och agerar i olika sammanhang. När det gäller delaktighet för barn i behov av särskilt stöd visar resultatet att det arbetet med delaktighet ofta sker i mindre barngrupper. Detta för att det underlättar för pedagoger att kunna se till varje enskilt barns behov.

This research explored the thesis that organizational personality is related to applicants’ attraction to an organization through a process which involves need motivation, expectancy beliefs, and applicants’ perceptions of person-organization fit. Organizational personality may be defined as a collection of trait-like characteristics that individuals use to describe organizational practices, policies, values, and culture. Specifically, this research investigated the hypothesis that organizational personality information is useful to applicants because it helps individuals to determine their perceptions of fit. A sample of students (N = 198) and working adults (N = 198) participated in an online experiment. Findings indicated that individuals’ beliefs about the instrumentality of desirable work related outcomes are essential to determining their perceptions of fit and organizational attraction. Additionally, organizational personality perceptions interacted with need motivation to affect perceptions of fit and organizational attraction. For instance, perceptions of fit mediated the influence of the interaction between need for achievement and perceptions of innovativeness on organizational attraction. The interaction of need motivation and perceptions of organizational personality helped individuals to better determine their perceptions of fit and subsequent attraction toward organizations.

Nous étudions dans cette thèse une dimension particulière de l’emballage : la texture. Dans la première étude (A), composée de trois expérimentations, nous présentons l’influence de la texture, en l’absence de contact tactile, sur l’attitude envers un produit et sur le choix du consommateur. Nous manipulons la texture de l’emballage ainsi qu'une stimulation tactile au préalable en prenant en compte le niveau du besoin de toucher de l’individu. Nous montrons que la stimulation tactile positive induit une appréciation plus positive du produit lorsque ce dernier n’est pas texturé et ce, indépendamment du besoin de toucher. Lorsque le produit est texturé, les individus à faible besoin de toucher présentent une dévaluation du produit. Ensuite, nous présentons l’influence d’une stimulation tactile négative sur le choix entre un produit lisse et un produit texturé. En l’absence de stimulation tactile, le produit contenu dans l’emballage texturé est préféré. La stimulation tactile négative conduit principalement les individus à faible besoin de toucher à préférer le produit contenu dans l’emballage lisse. Dans la deuxième étude (B), nous étudions l’influence du contact tactile avec la texture de l’emballage sur le goût perçu du produit. Dans une première expérimentation nous montrons que lorsque la texture n’apporte pas d’informations sur le produit contenu, elle n’influence pas le goût perçu. Lorsque la texture de l’emballage induit des attentes sur le produit, l’évaluation dépend de la situation de congruence sensorielle. S’il y a une incongruence sensorielle entre la texture de l’emballage et celle du produit lors de la consommation, le goût du produit sera moins apprécié. Dans la deuxième expérimentation, en utilisant un électro-encéphalogramme, nous étudions les effets de la congruence sensorielle entre la texture de l’emballage et celle du produit sur les émotions du consommateur. Nous montrons que l'incongruence sensorielle induit un niveau d’éveil plus élevé mais induit également des émotions plus négatives comparativement à une situation de congruence sensorielle. / We study in this thesis a particular dimension of the packaging: the texture. In the first study (A), composed of three experiments, we present the influence of the texture, in the absence of tactile contact, on attitudes towards a product and consumer choices. We manipulate the texture of the packaging as well as a tactile stimulation previously taking into account the level of the need for touch. We first show that the positive tactile stimulation induces a more positive assessment of the product when it is not textured, regardless of the need for touch. When the product is textured, individuals with a low need for touch have a devaluation of the product. Then we present the influence of negative tactile stimulation on the choice between a product whose packaging is smooth and the other textured. In the absence of tactile stimulation, the product inside the textured packaging is the preferred. Prior negative tactile stimulation leads mainly individuals with a low need for touch to favor the product inside the smooth packaging. In the second study (B), we present the influence of tactile contact with the texture of packaging on the perceived taste of the product. In the first experiment we show that when the texture does not provide information about the product contained, it does not have influence on the perceived taste. When the texture of the packaging induced expectations about the product, the assessment depends on the situation of sensory congruency. If there is a sensory incongruency between the texture of the packaging and the texture of the product during consumption, the taste of the product will be less appreciated. In the second experiment, by using a EEG, we study the effects of sensory congruency between the texture of the packaging and the texture of the product on the emotions of the consumer. We show that sensory incongruency induces a higher level of arousal, but also induces to more negative emotions comparatively to a situation of sensory congruency.
