Effect of an educational program on physical activity in individuals undergoing their first percutaneous coronary intervention: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Educational programs designed for specific populations to improve regular physical activity need to be tested.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program, when compared to usual care, on improving physical activity 5 to 7 months after hospital discharge in adult patients undergoing their first percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods: Randomized controlled trial with two groups: usual care (n = 56) and educational program (n = 53) interventions.

Domestic burns that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: a descriptive cross-sectional study.

Background: Due to "stay at home" restrictions during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, people spent more time at home leading to an increase in home accidents, including burns.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiology of burns that occurred within homes during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.

Design And Settings: This was a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample.

Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23 for Brazil.

Unlabelled: The Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23 (OAI-23) was developed in English to measure the social and psychological adaptation of individuals who underwent ostomy surgeries.

Purpose: The aim of the current study was to culturally adapt and test the measurement properties of a Brazilian Portuguese adapted version of the OAI-23.

Methods: The original version of the OAI-23 was composed of 23 questions distributed into the following 4 factors: acceptance, anxiety/preoccupation, social engagement, and anger.

ISTAP classification for skin tears: Validation for Brazilian Portuguese.

The objective of this study was to evaluate interobserver reliability and the concurrent criterion validity of the adapted version of the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP) Skin Tear Classification System to Brazilian Portuguese. For the evaluation of interobserver reliability using the photograph database, 36 nurses classified 30 skin tears (STs) into three groups, according to its definitions (adapted version). For the evaluation through clinical application, 23 nurses classified 12 STs present in 8 thoracic and cardiovascular postoperative patients at a tertiary hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Comparison of the perceived stigmatization measures between the general population and burn survivors in Brazil.

Objectives: To compare perceived stigmatization, symptoms of depression and self-esteem of adults from Brazilian general population with Brazilian burns survivors and to verify the possible correlations between these populations.

Method: The general population and burn survivors administered the adapted Brazilian versions of the Perceived Stigmatization Questionnaire (BR-PSQ-R), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The Student's t-test for independent samples was employed to identify significant differences between the means of the results from the BR-PSQ-R, BDI and RSES instruments, and the Pearson correlation was used to detect correlations between constructs.

Quality of life in patients who undergo conventional or robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy: Protocol for a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Hysterectomy for benign gynecologic diseases, especially dysfunctional uterine bleeding, is one of the most common gynecologic interventions. The uterus can be removed using abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. In a robotic-assisted procedure, the surgeon directs the robot while seated at a console in the operating room.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Reliability of the Burn Specific Health Scale-Revised in Brazilian Burned Patients.

Background And Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the factor structure and the reliability of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Burn Specific Health Scale-Revised (BSHS-R) in a sample of Brazilian burned adults.

The Perceived Stigmatization Questionnaire (PSQ), developed in the United States, is a valid instrument to assess the perception of stigmatizing behaviours among burn survivors. The objective of this cross-sectional and multicentre study was to assess the factor structure, reliability and validity of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the PSQ in burn patients.

[Translation and cultural adaptation of the Perceived Stigmatization Questionnaire for burn victims in Brazil].

This methodological study aimed to describe the process of translation and cultural adaptation of the Perceived stigmatization Questionnaire (PSQ) and analyze the internal consistency of the items in the step of pre-testing. The PSQ was developed to evaluate the perception of stigmatizing behaviors of burn victims. The adaptation process was carried out from August 2012 to February 2013, comprising the steps outlined in the literature.
