Locus Of Control And Self-efficacy: Potential Mediators Of Stress, Illness, And Utilization Of Health Services In College Studen

Roddenberry, Angela 01 January 2007 (has links)
Stress has been linked to increased illness in several biologically based studies. In contrast, only a limited number of studies have assessed psychological variables related to stress, with self-efficacy and locus of control serving as potentially important variables. Thus, the current study investigated the mediating effects of self-efficacy and locus of control in the relationship between stress, psychological and physical symptoms, and the utilization of health services in college students. Results suggested that stress was correlated positively with symptoms. External locus of control was correlated positively with stress and symptoms, and self-efficacy was correlated negatively with stress and symptoms. Further, structural equation modeling was used to test two separate models. The first model examined the relationships between stress and symptoms and between symptoms and utilization of health services. Although the path coefficients suggested that there were direct relationships, the data did not adequately fit this model. The second model examined the potential mediational effects of locus of control and self-efficacy on the relationship between stress and symptoms. The path coefficients for the second model were consistent with a mediation effect for locus of control in the relationship between stress and symptoms; however, when this model was tested for full mediation, the data did not fit the model. These results highlight the importance of having future studies examine and identify potential mediators of the stress and illness link. Implications for reducing health care costs and promoting better mental and physical health are discussed.

Avaliação da saúde, condições socioeconômicas e utilização da Estratégia Saúde da Família / Evaluation of health, socioeconomic context and participation in Family Health Strategy.

Silva, Carolina Brunelli Alvares da 29 September 2008 (has links)
Atualmente a atenção básica no sistema de saúde pública brasileiro, tem sido reorganizada pela Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Este estudo tem como objetivo principal conhecer as características das famílias que se cadastram na ESF em relação àquelas que numa mesma área não se cadastram, para que, desta forma, possamos avaliar se as famílias cadastradas são realmente as mais necessitadas economicamente e em termos de atenção à saúde. Foi realizado um inquérito populacional na área de abrangência de um dos núcleos de saúde da família (NSF) no bairro Sumarezinho da cidade de Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brasil. Participaram do sorteio da amostra a ser estudada todos os domicílios situados em sua a área de abrangência, independente de serem cadastrados ou não na ESF. A amostra foi estratificada pelas cinco microáreas pertencentes à área da unidade. Em cada microárea 15% das famílias cadastradas (C) na ESF e 60% das não cadastradas (NC) foram sorteadas. A coleta de informações foi realizada por meio de um questionário (completo) previamente elaborado, estruturado e pré-testado, aplicado a um membro da família. Foram coletadas informações de 209 famílias, relacionadas: à saúde geral e bucal, cobertura de plano de saúde médico e odontológico, condições socioeconômicas, dentre outras. Além disso, informações sobre o perfil de utilização da ESF pelas famílias C e os motivos para não participação das NC, foram também coletados. A análise descritiva foi seguida de análise bivariada entre os grupos de C e NC. Para variáveis contínuas, comparações de médias (teste t) apropriadas foram realizadas, e para variáveis categóricas, o teste de quiquadrado foi empregado.Foram construídos dois modelos de maneira hierárquica, para análise multivariável. 30,8% das famílias NC não tinham conhecimento da existência da ESF no bairro. Dentre as que já conheciam a não participação foi justificada pela posse de plano de saúde. Cerca de 28,0% dos membros das famílias C não utilizam a ESF, a razão mais comum para isso é ter um plano de saúde ou não ter problemas de saúde. O principal motivo para utilização da ESF pelas famílias C é para realização de consultas de rotina. As famílias C têm em geral mais doenças diagnosticadas do que as NC, especialmente artrite/artrose, diabetes, hipertensão, problemas cardíacos, asma e problemas de coluna. Com base no modelo construído para todos as famílias participantes do estudo, as variáveis que melhor predisseram estar cadastrado na ESF foram escolaridade e ocupação do chefe da família, o tempo de moradia no bairro, porcentagem de pessoas com convênio de saúde e número de moradores. No modelo para as famílias que responderam questionário completo a classificação de poder de compra (ABEP) foi mais importante do que a escolaridade do chefe da família. A média de idade da família e a porcentagem de indivíduos embora não tenha sido estatisticamente significante ao ser incluída no modelo (p= 0.289), mostra que existe uma tendência de famílias com média de idade maior se cadastrar mais na ESF. / Currently, the basic care in Brazilian public health system, has been reorganized by the Family Health Strategy (FHS). This study aims to understand the main characteristics of the families signing up in the FHS for those in the same area not signing up. For that, this way we can assess whether the families are actually registered the most deprived economically and in terms of health care. It was an investigation population in the area of coverage of one of the centers of family health, Sumarezinho neighborhood in the city of Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Part of the draw of the sample being studied all homes located in the area of coverage of CFH1, whether they registered or not in FHS. Have been excluded from the draw the buildings used for commercial or institutional and homes without residents. The sample was stratified by the five belonging to the microarea of CFH1. In each microarea 15% of households registered (R) at the FHS and 60% of non-registered (NR) were drawn. The data collection was conducted through a questionnaire (full) previously prepared, structured, pre-tested, applied to a family member. Data were collected from 209 families, related to: the general health and oral, plan for coverage of medical and dental health, socio-economic conditions, among others. In addition, information on the profile to use the FHS by households R and the reasons for non-participation of NC, were also collected. The descriptive analysis was followed by the bivariate analysis between groups of R and NR. For continuous variables, comparisons of means (t test) were made appropriate, and categorical variables, the Chi-square test was used. Two models were constructed on a hierarchical, for multivariate analysis. 30.8% of households NR were not aware of the existence of the FHS in the neighborhood. Among those who already knew the non-participation was justified by the possession of the health plan. About 28.0% of the members of the families R does not use the FHS, the most common reason for this is to have a health plan or not having health problems. The main reason for use of the FHS by households R is to hold consultations routine. R The families generally have more disease than those diagnosed NR, especially arthritis/osteoarthritis, diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, asthma and spine problems. Based on the model built for all the families participating in the study, the variables that best predicted to be registered in the ESF were schooling and occupation of head of household, the time of housing in the neighborhood, percentage of people with agreement on health and number of residents. In the model for the families who answered the questionnaire complete classification of purchasing power (ABEP) was more important than the education of the head of the family. The average age of the family and the percentage of individuals but was not statistically significant to be included in the model, shows that there is a tendency for families with average age is higher registered more at FHS.

Acesso e utilizaÃÃo dos serviÃos de saÃde entre crianÃas de 5 a 9 anos da zona urbana de Sobral - CE e fatores associados / Access and use of health services for children between 5 to 9 years of the city of Sobral - CE and associated factors

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / EvidÃncias mostram que indivÃduos com piores condiÃÃes de saÃde sÃo os mais pobres, com menos escolaridade e piores condiÃÃes de vida. A UtilizaÃÃo dos ServiÃos de SaÃde (USS), determinante social intermediÃrio, pode interferir na saÃde dos indivÃduos. No entanto, a busca dos serviÃos de saÃde depende das caracterÃsticas pessoais, dos recursos disponÃveis e da percepÃÃo da necessidade de saÃde segundo o Modelo Comportamental de USS proposto por Andersen. O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar os fatores associados à USS entre crianÃas de 5 a 9 anos na zona urbana do municÃpio de Sobral-CE. O estudo foi um recorte da pesquisa de base populacional âEstudo das condiÃÃes de saÃde, educaÃÃo e qualidade de vida das crianÃas de 5 a 9 anos da zona urbana do municÃpio de Sobral-CEâ. Foram realizadas entrevistas domiciliares com 3.274 crianÃas, em 1999/2000. As variÃveis dependentes foram a USS nas unidades de saÃde da famÃlia (PSF), nos hospitais e nos consultÃrios particulares e conveniados aos planos de saÃde, nos Ãltimos 30 dias e de forma regular. Apenas 558 (17,0%) das crianÃas utilizaram os serviÃos de saÃde nos Ãltimos 30 dias. Quando perguntado o tipo de serviÃo utilizado habitualmente, o PSF foi o mais referido (79,1%), seguido do hospital (13,5%) e dos serviÃos por convÃnio ou particulares (3,4%). Em torno de 116 crianÃas, 3,5% da amostra, eram levadas a outros serviÃos como farmÃcias, rezadeiras, madrinhas, avÃs, entre outros. Os fatores associados à USS no Ãltimo mÃs foram: a ocorrÃncia de problemas de saÃde (OR=3,9); a utilizaÃÃo regular do PSF (OR=1,8); a coleta do lixo, direta e indireta (OR=1,3 e 1,9) e a localizaÃÃo da residÃncia na sede do municÃpio (OR=1,5). Os fatores associados à utilizaÃÃo regular do PSF foram: escolaridade materna e condiÃÃes econÃmicas menores, morar na sede dos distritos e prÃximo ao PSF, realizar consulta sempre ou Ãs vezes no mesmo dia da procura, ser cadastrado no PSF e nÃo ter plano de saÃde. Associados ao hospital foram: escolaridade materna e condiÃÃes econÃmicas maiores, morar na sede do municÃpio e distante do PSF, melhores condiÃÃes de escoadouro de dejetos, realizar consulta sempre no mesmo dia da procura, nÃo ser cadastrado no PSF e nÃo possuir plano de saÃde. Associados aos consultÃrios particulares/conveniados foram: escolaridade materna e condiÃÃes econÃmicas maiores, nÃo ser cadastrado no PSF e possuir cobertura de plano de saÃde. Os resultados mostraram que a USS no municÃpio de Sobral-Ce praticamente nÃo mostrou desigualdade no acesso entre a faixa etÃria estudadas. Atribui-se a implantaÃÃo da EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia que alcanÃou os grupos populacionais mais vulnerÃveis e historicamente excluÃdos da atenÃÃo à saÃde. / Evidence shows that individuals with worse health conditions are poorer, less educated and poorer living conditions. The Health Services Use (HSU), a social determinant intermediary, can interfere with the health of individuals. However, the pursuit of health services depends on personal characteristics, available resources and the perceived need for health according to the Behavioral Model of HSU proposed by Andersen. The objective was to identify factors associated with HSU among children 5 to 9 years in the urban area of Sobral, CE. The present study was part of a research population-based "Study of the health, education and quality of life for children 5-9 years of the urban area of Sobral-CE". Home interviews were conducted with 3,274 children in 1999/2000. The dependent variables were the HSU in family health units (PSF), in hospitals and private clinics and insured health plans in the last 30 days and regularly. Only 558 (17.0%) children used health services in the last 30 days. When asked what type of service commonly used, the PSF was the most frequently mentioned (79.1%), followed by hospital (13.5%) and services by private agreement or (3.4%). Around 116 children, 3.5% of the sample were taken to other services such as pharmacies, mourners, godmothers, grandmothers, and others. Factors associated with HSU in the last month were: the occurrence of health problems (OR = 3.9), regular use of the PSF (OR = 1.8), garbage collection, direct and indirect (OR = 1.3 and 1.9) and location of residence in the town (OR = 1.5). Factors associated with regular use of the PSF were maternal education and lower economic conditions, living in the headquarters district and close to the PSF, conduct consultation always or sometimes the same day seeking to be registered with the PSF and not have health insurance. Associated with the hospital were: maternal education and higher economic conditions, living in the town and away from the PSF, better outlet for waste, carry out consultation on the same day of demand, not registered in the PSF and do not have health insurance. Associated with private offices / insured were maternal education and higher economic conditions, the PSF is not registered and has health plan coverage. The results showed that the HSU in Sobral-CE showed almost no inequality in access between the age group studied. Is attributed to the implementation of the Family Health Strategy which reached the most vulnerable populations and historically excluded from health care.
