Background: The emerging respiratory disease is caused by the novel type of corona virus which is named as COVID-19. This respiratory illness has received internal attention and it is categorized as highly threaten disease in the US by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The purpose of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of undergraduate nursing students towards COVID-19. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional design was used to assess knowledge, practice and attitudes of 255 undergraduate nursing students towards COVID-19. Study participants were recruited from the nursing college in King AbdAziz University between April and July 2020. Results: The results of study participants showed that undergraduate nursing students had moderate knowledge towards COVID-19 (Mean=20.54, SD ± 4.67). Also, participants had high level of knowledge regarding nature of diseases and precautionary measures by health care providers dimensions. However, they expressed limited knowledge towards mode of transmission. Moreover, study participants demonstrated an optimistic attitude toward disease as the average 43.78 and good practice towards COVID-19 (average 18.67). Conclusions: The study results revealed that study participants demonstrated good knowledge with favorable and accepted practice. This study suggests the importance of emphasis on infectious disease in nursing curriculum

Objective: To compare the effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and cryotherapy in relieving painful symptoms in students with primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Methods: Cross-sectional and quantitative study, with 20 university women randomly divided into two groups: TENS Group (GT) whose participants were submitted to a 45 min TENS session with a frequency of 120 Hz and a pulse duration of 100 µs and Cryotherapy Group (CG), whose participants were submitted to a cryotherapy session for 20 min. Women with regular menstrual cycles, nulligravidas, without a report of pelvic disease, and with dysmenorrhea with pain levels between 4 and 10 during the first three days of menstruation were included. Those with contraindications to TENS or cryotherapy and who used drugs up to 24 h before the intervention were excluded. The participants' pain levels were recorded before and shortly after the intervention.Results: Women aged between 18 and 27 years (mean 22.8 ± 2.4 years) were evaluated. In addition to painful symptoms, all of them presented some other associated symptoms, the most common being diarrhea and fatigue (80%, each). The two-way ANOVA test of repeated measures considering group and evaluation factors revealed an effect only for the evaluation factor (p < 0.001) with no effect for the group/evaluation interaction (p = 0.09). Conclusion: TENS and cryotherapy are efficient resources for relieving pain symptoms in women with PD, with no superiority between the approaches.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and the perception of oral health of visually impaired people. Methods: Quantitative cross-sectional study covering people with visual impairments in the months of September and November 2019. Twenty visually impaired people were interviewed at the Instituto de Educacao Assistencial ao Cegos do Nordeste, Campina Grande, Paraiba, Brazil, older than 18 years. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref) was used to assess QoL and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14, Portuguese version) was used to assess the oral health perception. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and categorization were used. Results: There was a predominance of male individuals (80%), with a mean age of 32.3 years. Regarding education, 40% had completed high school. Regarding marital status, 75% were single. The study revealed better QoL in the psychological and social relationships domains (mean scores, ME: 4.0 ± 2.83 and 3.9 ± 3.22, respectively). Regarding the assessment of perception of oral health, the dimensions most affected were physical pain (EM 2.05 ± 2.01) and psychological discomfort (EM 2.25 ± 2.27). Conclusion: People with visual impairment have a lower perception of QOL in the physical and environmental domains and, concerning the perception of oral health, the individuals surveyed feel dissatisfied with their current condition.

Objective: To analyze the quality of life (QOL) of patients with benign dermatoses in a dermatology clinic at a teaching hospital in the south of Minas Gerais. Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional study, such as field research and population profile and forms of health promotion, in which the QoL of patients with benign dermatoses (psoriasis, vitiligo, melasma, acne, dermatitis and rosacea) was analyzed, from February to July 2017. The Generic Quality of Life Questionnaire - SF36 and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI-BRA) were applied and translated and validated into Portuguese. Results: 68 patients were interviewed, of which 47 were female (min. 13; max. 75 years). In SF36, the domains Limitations by Emotional Aspects (mean score, MS, 57.3) and Vitality (MS 58) were the worst results. In DLQI-BRA, the MS was 6.97, with Symptoms and Feelings (MS 2.69) and Daily Activities (MS 1.79) being the most harmful to the patient. There were no relevant correlations between the different domains of each questionnaire. Conclusion: This study identified worse scores on Emotional Aspects and Vitality of the patient concerning QoL in general. A moderate effect on the patients' QOL dermatologic situation was observed. Symptoms, feelings and daily activities were the factors that cause the greatest harm to the patient.

Objective: Evaluate the level of knowledge, habits, and prevalence of consumption of energy drinks and supplements based on caffeine by practitioners of physical exercises in gyms. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire of 27 topics was used on Google® Forms, published on social media between September and October 2018. Results: 200 gym goers participated, 71% young adults, 52% having more than two years of practice, and attendance regular 5 - 6 times a week. Most were women (58.5%), bodybuilders (61.6%), and from Minas Gerais State (62.5%). Consumption without professional guidance was 81.6% for energy drinks and 53.9% for caffeine-based supplements. Most energy consumers (73.3%) had goals related to social activities, preferring the RedBul® brand (40.4%). Among consumers of caffeine supplements, there was a preference for thermogenic (32.7%) and pure caffeine (29.9%), with the primary objective of improving performance (28.7%), presenting ergolytic responses of tachycardia and palpitations as recorded in energy drinks. There was no record of adverse effects in 19.2% of caffeine consumers and 40.8% of energy drinkers. The consumption dosages of the products were within the safety range (< 6 mg/kg). Conclusion: The consumption of both products was made without professional guidance, however, with dosages within the safety range.

Methods: A self-administered questionnaire of 27 topics was used on Google® Forms, published on social media between September and October 2018. Results: 200 gym goers participated, 71% young adults, 52% having more than two years of practice, and attendance regular 5 - 6 times a week. Most were women (58.5%), bodybuilders (61.6%), and from Minas Gerais State (62.5%). Consumption without professional guidance was 81.6% for energy drinks and 53.9% for caffeine-based supplements. Most energy consumers (73.3%) had goals related to social activities, preferring the RedBul® brand (40.4%). Among consumers of caffeine supplements, there was a preference for thermogenic (32.7%) and pure caffeine (29.9%), with the primary objective of improving performance (28.7%), presenting ergolytic responses of tachycardia and palpitations as recorded in energy drinks. There was no record of adverse effects in 19.2% of caffeine consumers and 40.8% of energy drinkers. The consumption dosages of the products were within the safety range (< 6 mg/kg). Conclusion: The consumption of both products was made without professional guidance, however, with dosages within the safety range. The consumption of energy drinks aimed at social activities and improved sports performance. Ergolytic effects have been reported.","PeriodicalId":12868,"journal":{"name":"Health science journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"54-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80438928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objetivo: Identificar os motivos associados a interrupcao do aleitamento materno exclusivo entre nutrizes durante os primeiros seis meses de vida do lactente. Metodos: Estudo exploratorio, descritivo, transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, conduzido com 911 maes/responsaveis de criancas de zero a 23 meses. Foram coletadas informacoes sociodemograficas e relato dos motivos que levaram a interrupcao do aleitamento materno exclusivo antes dos seis meses de idade do lactente. Resultados: As participantes do estudo eram predominantemente brancas, com companheiro, com ensino medio, sem vinculo empregaticio, com dois a quatro filhos, com renda familiar ≤ 1 salario minimo, com moradia propria, na faixa etaria ≥ 20 anos. Em sua maioria, as maes/responsaveis relataram ter recebido orientacoes sobre a alimentacao de seu filho com maior frequencia realizada pelo enfermeiro e 28,5% afirmaram ter interrompido o aleitamento materno exclusivo antes dos seis meses de vida do lactente. Possuir moradia propria, usar de tabaco e alcool foram associados a interrupcao do aleitamento materno exclusivo. Os motivos que predominaram na interrupcao do aleitamento materno exclusivo estiveram ligados principalmente ao relato de leite materno insuficiente, retorno ao trabalho/escola e recusa inexplicada. Conclusao: Os motivos para abandono do aleitamento materno exclusivo identificado neste estudo foram desde o relato de choro da crianca a alegacao de leite materno insuficiente. A identificacao dos motivos que levam ao desmame precoce pode auxiliar no planejamento de estrategias para evitar a interrupcao do aleitamento materno.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the functional tests validated in different profiles of hospitalized and non-hospitalized individuals and to evaluate the psychometric evidence for reliability and validity. Methods: This is a systematic review. The databases EMBASE, MEDLINE, Lilacs and SciELO were used with the descriptors Functional Tests (Walk Test, Gait Speed Test, Chair Stand Test, Timed Up and Go, Step Test), Validation Studies as Topic and synonyms. Validation studies of functional tests were included in hospitalized or non-hospitalized individuals who used the criteria of validity and/or reliability and related the tests to different variables. These articles could be longitudinal or cross-sectional observational or validation studies that used data from clinical trials. Articles that did not present significant characteristics of the sample and the description of the test were excluded. Results: The search resulted in 36,150 articles, and 89 were included. The studies were organized in tables with information such as author, year, validation criteria, sample, test, associated variables and results. The quality of the articles was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. Conclusion: Functional tests are valid and reliable for assessing hospitalized and non-hospitalized individuals and are associated with muscle strength, ability to walk, postural control, activities of daily living, risk of falls, hospitalization, and mortality.
