Colocar em perspectiva as representações sociais não é tarefa fácil. Neste trabalho, as percepções de dez estudantes de Educação Física antes e após a Caminhada do Privilégio – dinâmica que representa a trajetória de vida dos participantes através de passos – foram analisadas visando compreender os efeitos da atividade sobre o grupo a partir das percepções de suas posições sociais, dos fatores atribuídos a tais posições e das mudanças de perspectiva desencadeadas pela Caminhada do Privilégio. Os estudantes estimaram corretamente suas posições finais na Caminhada, porém esperavam encontrar pouca diferença entre eles, decorrente do esforço individual e do acesso a direitos e privilégios. Contudo, após a Caminhada do Privilégio, observaram uma grande distância entre eles e questões como gênero, orientação sexual, apoio familiar e condição econômica foram percebidas como centrais. O racismo foi citado, mas de forma reservada, em questionário, indicando a dificuldade de debate aberto de temas sociais.
The objective of the present study was to describe the physical and functioning profile of Brazilian older adults admitted to avascular surgery wards (VSW). This is an observational and cross-sectional study using patients admitted to VSW. The study included subjects considered able to (group 1, G1) or restricted to physical and functional assessment (group 2, G2). Barthel index (BI) was evaluated in G1 and G2 groups, while hand grip strength (HGS), Timed up and Go (TUG), maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP and MEP respectively) were assessed only in G1. The data of a total of 104 older adults (G1=56 and G2=48) were analyzed. Most patients had good bed mobility (83.9% in G1 and 75% in G2). There were significant difference between the predicted values and the recorded values obtained for MIP, MEP and HGS (P<0.0001). Pearson correlation showed a significant association between HGS and TUG (P=0.005/r= –0.384) and MEP and TUG (P=0.009/r= –0.353). In conclusion, hospitalized older adults able to perform functional tests showed reduced HGS, MIP and MEP, as well as moderate risk of falls. There was also an association of peripheral muscle strength and expiratory muscle strength with functional mobility evaluated by TUG.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
