“…Group A also achieved higher scores on both LIS-A and STAI, but with no statistically significant differences. In the STAI, 40 or more points indicate the presence of anxiety symptoms (Moreira, Melo, Tomaz, & Azevedo, 2006).…”

Depression and anxiety symptoms are increasingly common in the world population and may damage different aspects of life. In the school context, these symptoms may affect teachers' self-esteem and educational social skills. This study aimed to evaluate and compare depression and anxiety symptoms, self-esteem and educational social skills in first and last grades elementary public school teachers, with 196 teachers, men and women, aged 18 years or older. The instruments applied were: a sociodemographic questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Population Screening Scale for Depression Epidemiological Studies Center (CES-D), Depressive Symptoms Intensity Survey (LIS-D), the Anxiety Symptoms Intensity Survey (LIS-A), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Inventory of Educational Social Skills-Teachers (IHSE). The main results indicate differences between the two teachers' groups regarding the levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms, some educational social skills and self-esteem. Future studies with teachers should consider specific aspects of teaching work.

“…1 The experience of being unable to achieve pregnancy may be described as a source of anxiety, fear, sadness, frustration and anger for couples who desire children, [2][3][4][5] causing feelings of worthlessness and important distress symptoms. 3,6,7 Infertility may be felt as a stigmatizing condition, 8 being described by those who experience it as the most distressful event in their lives. 9 Questions such as the lack of spontaneity in sexual life, lack of control of one's own life and social pressure to have children are some of the difficulties reported by infertile women, 10 who may feel infertility as an insult to their self-esteem and femininity.…”

Likewise, studies report the association between socio-psycho-behavioral factors and male semen quality, and indicated that health programs focusing on lifestyle and psychological health would be helpful for male reproductive health.…”

The study's objective was to assess the effect of a cognitive behavioral group intervention on the pregnancy rates of patients submitted to in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques or to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The study was conducted on 188 patients, 93 who participated in a group of psychological intervention before the IVF and ICSI procedures and 95 patients submitted to IVF and ICSI during the same period of time, who did not participate in the intervention (control group). Clinical pregnancy was the outcome measure. Demographic and clinical variables were compared between groups in order to assess the group's homogeneity. Participants in the psychological intervention obtained a pregnancy rate of 39.8%, significantly higher than the 23.2% rate of nonparticipants (χ 2 = 6.03, p = .01, odds ratio of 22 (CI: 1.16-4.13). The data suggest that group psychological intervention before IVF and ICSI in order to control stress seems to increase the rate of success of these procedures.

“…To test this hypothesis, our sample was compared to a control sample that also consisted exclusively of women, whose identified stress frequency (51.2%) was within a variation range that had been previously identified by other studies with healthy women, of around 36%. 16,17 Regarding stress levels, a disturbing proportion of our patient sample was at the two upper stress levels -exhaustion and near exhaustion 67.5%), when compared to 8.6% in our control sample. These figures are higher than all data found in the Brazilian literature: among infertile women, this frequency was 12.7%, 16 whereas in healthy women this frequency was zero or close to zero in young individuals, 17,18 7.4% among adult women, 16 up to 15% and 23% in adult individuals living in Sao Paulo (capital and countryside, respectively).…”

“…These figures are much higher than those identified in other Brazilian studies. Moreira et al 16 , when investigating infertile women, identified that almost 62% presented some level of stress. Santos and Alves Jr., 17 when evaluating Master's Degree students in the state of Sergipe, Brazil, identified a value of 40.7%, although with a significant variation between the genders: 80% of the women and 18% of the men.…”

Introduction: Fibromyalgia is a multifactorial disease, of which etiology is based on interaction between genetic susceptibility and environment. However, few studies attempted to identify the risk factors. Objective: To investigate the genetic influence and its interaction with environmental quality and stress, as possible risk factors for fibromyalgia development. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated two groups of women, of which 47 had a clinical diagnosis of fibromyalgia, and 41 women comprising thre control group, all from the town of Novo Hamburgo, RS. The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphism was analyzed in DNA extracted from total blood, in both samples. Environmental factors were studied through Lipp's Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults and by applying the WHOQOL-100 domain V. Results: Among the patients, more women had high stress levels when compared to the control sample (P < 0.001); moreover, the average scores of the WHOQOL-100 domain V, which analyze environment quality, were lower in this group (P < 0.001). APOE genotypic and allelic frequencies were similar between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that low WHOQOL-100 scores increase the chance of disease development by 57.7 times (P < 0.001), and that high stress levels were related with the disease (OR = 197.2; P < 0.001). This approach pointed out an interaction between stress and presence of E*2 allele (P = 0.028). Fibromyalgia was much more frequent in patients with high stress levels that were E*2 non-carriers (estimated OR = 265.1), when compared to patients with the same stress level, but E*2 carriers (estimated OR = 1.06). Conclusion: E*2 allele presence could have a protective action regarding the association between fibromyalgia and stress.
