Objective The aim of this paper is to analyse the quality of life (QOL) of undergraduate nursing students. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study with 206 students conducted in July 2013, in the city of Picos/PI, Brazil. Data were collected using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyse the data with a significance level of 5%. Results The domains with the best average scores were Physical (69.4) and Social Relations (74.3), and the domains with the worst average scores were Psychological (68.5) and Environment (54.2). For the overall assessment, the average was 66.6+10.8. A statistical significance was observed when crossing QOL with number of children (p = 0.029), where students without children performed better. Conclusion These results allow the early detection of difficulties experienced by nursing students and may support strategies that benefit the search for solutions to conflicts that affect QOL.

Resumo Objetivo Desenvolver e validar uma cartilha educativa para prevenção do excesso de peso em adolescentes. Métodos Estudo metodológico desenvolvido em quatro etapas: diagnóstico situacional; levantamento bibliográfico; elaboração da cartilha e validação do material por especialistas no assunto, 15 juízes (conteúdo e design) e representantes do público-alvo, 36 adolescentes escolares. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados três questionários distintos, de acordo com o foco de avaliação de cada grupo de participantes. Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva, avaliação do Índice de Validade de Conteúdo, sendo considerado item validado o que apresentar valor igual ou superior a 0,78, e nível de concordância, apresentando validação o item que obtiver concordância mínima de 75% nas respostas positivas. As observações dos juízes foram analisadas e, quando necessário, a cartilha foi modificada. Resultados O índice de validade de conteúdo médio foi de 0,87 e 0,96 por meio das análises dos juízes de conteúdo e de design, respectivamente. As principais sugestões tecidas por eles versavam acerca da substituição ou troca de termos e adequação de textos. Em relação ao público-alvo, participaram adolescentes de 14 a 18 anos. O nível de concordância nas respostas positivas dadas pelos adolescentes foi de 82% e as principais sugestões estiveram associadas às cores e ilustrações da cartilha.

OBJECTIVE: to identify the frequency of components of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) among university students. METHOD: descriptive study with 550 students, from various courses run by a public university. The socioeconomic data, lifestyle, and components of MetS were filled out using a questionnaire. Blood sample collection was undertaken in the university itself by a contracted clinical analysis laboratory. RESULTS: 66.2% were female, with a mean age of 22.6±4.41; 71.7% were sedentary; 1.8% stated that they smoke; and 48.5% were classified as at medium risk for alcoholism. 5.8% had raised abdominal circumference and 20.4% had excess weight; 1.3% and 18.9% had raised fasting blood glucose levels and triglycerides, respectively; 64.5% had low HDL cholesterol and 8.7% had blood pressure levels compatible with borderline high blood pressure. Thus, of the sample, 64.4% had at least one component for MetS; 11.6% had two, and 3.5% had three or more. CONCLUSION: a significant proportion of the population already has the components for metabolic syndrome, and this profile reinforces the importance of early diagnosis so as to reduce the risk of developing chronic comorbidities.

The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge, attitudes and practices for the prevention of diabetic foot in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. This study was based on a cross-sectional survey conducted in two Family Health Units, in the city of Picos - PI, Brazil, with 85 diabetics of both sexes, by means of a semi-structured Knowledge, Attitude and Practice questionnaire. There was a predominance of females in the study (62.4%). On the topic of foot care, 49.4% had no knowledge on hygiene or what to observe in their feet. In relation to nail care, 56.5% were unaware of the correct way to cut nails. Regarding attitudes, 80% were willing to engage in self-care. In terms of practice, results showed that activities such as washing, drying, moisturizing and massaging were not executed together. It is therefore necessary to develop educational strategies to create awareness, both for diabetics and health professionals, on the effective prevention of diabetic foot.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi conhecer os hábitos cotidianos, relacionados à prática de atividade física, em 307 estudantes entre 12 e 17 anos, de seis escolas privadas, de Fortaleza - Brasil, entre os meses de março e junho de 2007. Foi aplicado um formulário para registrar sedentarismo, IMC, pressão arterial e glicemia. Para análise das proporções foi utilizado o teste do Qui-quadrado. Cerca de 68% dos jovens eram inativos. O sedentarismo foi maior nos pesquisados do sexo feminino (p=0, 000) e naqueles com excesso de peso (p=0,001). Entre os adolescentes ativos o exercício físico mais praticado era o futebol (42%) e a musculação (19%). A educação em saúde nas escolas pode auxiliar no combate desse sedentarismo juvenil.

Objective: Assess the level of health literacy of adults, with and without hypertension, treated in three basic health units (UBS) in Picos, Piauí. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 357 adults. Data were collected using a questionnaire with sociodemographic variables, and literacy was assessed by the Test of Functional Literacy in Adults. Descriptive analysis was performed followed by the association between literacy and exposure variables with Pearson's chi-squared (X²) test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Inadequate or marginal health literacy was found in three units investigated (71.5%; 77.8% and 85.2%);. Age and the years of schooling were factors associated with inadequate literacy in adults with hypertension (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Inadequate literacy was found in more than 70% of the hypertensive patients investigated. This finding reinforces the need to improve the self-care skills of hypertensive patients, especially the older ones and those with few years of schooling.
