RESUMOEste estudo busca avaliar a qualidade de vida dos professores do ensino fundamental de uma escola da rede pública brasileira. Tratase de um estudo transversal realizado com 26 professores. Utilizouse um questionário sociodemográfico, o SF-36, Questionário Nórdico e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck. Observou-se a prevalência do sexo feminino (69,6%) e com cônjuge (60,9%). A maioria possuía apenas graduação (56,5%). Considerando a dor musculoesquelética, foi encontrada maior ocorrência nos membros inferiores (34,8%) e na coluna (47,8%), sendo que apenas 34,8% dos docentes entrevistados relataram algum tipo de afastamento por queixa de dor em algum dos segmentos. Apenas 5,35% dos professores apresentaram algum indicativo de depressão. Quanto à qualidade de vida, constatou-se um escore mínimo de 56,04 para "Estado geral de saúde" e o máximo de 84,38 para o domínio "Capacidade funcional", sendo o domínio "Limitações por aspectos físicos" o mais afetado quando comparado dor com diminuição da qualidade de vida. Houve uma depreciação da qualidade de vida dos docentes que relataram dores, principalmente nas costas, nos últimos 12 meses. Constata-se haver comprometimento de todos os domínios do SF-36, portanto infere-se que a sintomatologia dolorosa e depressiva contribui para uma redução da qualidade de vida do docente.(Gomes A, Amorim T, Ferreira A, 2017. ABSTRACTThis study aims to evalue the quality of life of teachers of a Brazilian public basic school. This is a cross-sectional study done with 26 teachers. It was used a social-demographic questionnaire, the SF36, the Nordic Questionnaire and the Inventory of Beck Depression. It was observed that most teachers are female (69,6%) and married (60,9%). Most of them have only graduation (56,5%). Considering the musculoskeletal pain, it was found higher occurrence in lower members (34,8%) and in column (47,8%), and only 34,8% of them related some kind of sick leave because of pain in some of the segments. The study showed that 5,35% of the teachers have an indicative of depression. About quality of life, it was detected a minimum score of 56,04 for "general state of health" and the maximum of 84,38 for the domain "functional capacity", with the domain "limitations for physical aspects" being the most affected when compared pain with loss of quality of life. It was observed a quality of life depreciation on the teachers that reported pain, most of them in their backs, through the last 12 months. All the domains of SF-36 were engaged, then we can infer that the painful and depressive symptomatology contributes to a reduction of teachers' quality of life.
BackgroundThere is a lack of questionnaires capable of evaluating the clinical control of Brazilian children and adolescents with asthma over a wide age range. The Pediatric Asthma Control and Communication Instrument (PACCI) has been validated, but only with English‐ and Spanish‐speaking children in the United States.ObjectivesTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the PACCI questionnaire.MethodsA cross‐sectional psychometric study conducted with children and adolescents aged 01 to 19 years with a clinical diagnosis of asthma, and their respective parents/guardians. The following assessments were conducted: socioeconomic status; clinical control using the Childhood Asthma Control Test (c‐ACT), Asthma Control Test (ACT); caregiver quality of life using the Pediatric Asthma Caregivers Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ); and pulmonary function test (spirometry). Validity was evaluated as follows: exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis; Cronbach's alpha analysis (α); floor and ceiling effects; receiver operator characteristic curve analysis.ResultsA total of 128 participants were included, most of them male (54.7%). The Brazilian version of PACCI had adequate internal consistency (α = .76) and moderate floor and ceiling effects. The internal structure presented acceptable adjustment indices, considering the extraction of four factors. The factors presented adequate α values. Asthma control factor 1 correlated with c‐ACT/ACT and PACQLQ. Control domain scores greater than four points (sum of score) and above 1 point (problem index) were indicative of uncontrolled asthma.ConclusionThe Brazilian version of PACCI was able to provide valid and reliable measures in evaluating the clinical control of asthma in Brazilian children and adolescents.
