- Ageing at work: impact and consequences – a scoping reviewPublication . Magalhães, Carlos Pires; Fernandes, Adília; Vaz, Josiana A.; Pereira, Ana Maria Geraldes Rodrigues; Monteiro, António M.; Fernandes, Hélder; Fernandes, Hélder; Brás Alves, SaraAgeism, characterised by discriminatory aYtudes towards older individuals based on nega've stereotypes, is present in various aspects of society, including workplaces, public spaces, and healthcare seYngs, influencing the psychological well-being of the ones affected. Par'cularly in the workplace, ageism poses significant challenges for older workers, affec'ng their produc'vity and job sa'sfac'on. As the workforce con'nues to age globally, it’s becoming increasingly important to address the consequences of ageism on psychological health. Methods: A scoping review to map the evidence concerning the impact of ageism on the psychological state and wellbeing of older workers. Following the JBI methodological recommenda'ons, search was realized from March to April 2024, using PubMed, MedLine and CINAHL databases as well as grey literature to iden'fy relevant ar'cles. Studies in which the par'cipants were older adults, focusing on the influence of aging on psychological well-being within occupa'onal contexts. Were included studies published in English, Spanish and Portuguese developed in the last 10 years. From 38 cita'ons ini'ally retrieved, 8 ar'cles met the inclusion criteria.
- Implementation of +PERTO® in rehabilitation for total Knee arthroplasty: a pilot studyPublication . Araújo, Tiago Emanuel Soares; Rodrigues, Elsa Paula Santos; Files, Ana Raquel Varejão; Ventura-Silva, João Miguel Almeida; Mendes, Jorge Eduardo Ferreira; Novo, André; Ribeiro, Olga Maria Pimenta LopesBackground/Objectives: Total knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a prevalent treatment modality for degenerative knee diseases. Nevertheless, the success of the intervention is contingent on effective rehabilitation. The +PERTO® program (a Technological Rehabilitation Nursing Program) was developed as a mobile application comprising three phases to support patients during the perioperative period by providing exercises, information, and direct communication with healthcare professionals. The present study aims to evaluate the effects and usability of the +PERTO® program in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Methods: In 2024, a hospital in northern Portugal conducted a pilot trial with eleven patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty. Researchers collected data both before surgery and six weeks after discharge. To evaluate effectiveness, software satisfaction, and usability, they used several assessment tools, including the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), SF-36v2, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), QSEnf-10, and System Usability Scale (SUS). Researchers analyzed the data using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The hospital’s ethics committee and board of directors approved the study. Results: There was a significant reduction in pain (p = 0.041) and improvement in knee functionality (p = 0.010), physical performance (p = 0.038), and quality of life (p < 0.05). Patient satisfaction was high (QSEnf-10: 3.8/4), and the usability of +PERTO® was considered excellent (SUS: 96.6/100). Conclusions: The +PERTO® program proved to be an effective and innovative solution to support rehabilitation after TKA, promoting improvements in pain, functionality, and quality of life. This digital program stands out for its high rate of usability and its ability to modernize healthcare by providing a patient-centered approach.
- Literacia em competências humanísticas no contexto de cuidados paliativos: revisão integrativaPublication . Baptista, Gorete; Gomes, Maria José; Galvão, Ana MariaA dignidade no fim de vida é um tema de grande relevância na avaliação da qualidade dos cuidados. É imperaevo que os profissionais que trabalham em cuidados paliaevos sejam detentores de competências humanísecas. Destacamos como Teorias norteadoras da nossa pesquisa a Teoria do cuidado integral e a Teoria humaníseca do cuidado, as quais enfaezam a importância de compreender o paciente como um ser humano único e holíseco, indo além das necessidades sicas para abordar as dimensões emocionais, sociais e espirituais. Objeevo, evidenciar as competências humanísecas dos profissionais de saúde em contexto de cuidados paliaevos. Método, revisão integraeva orientada pela questão de invesegação: quais as competências humanísecas essenciais ao cuidado humanizado em cuidados paliaevos? Foram selecionados aregos que versam sobre as teorias em análise, compilando-se as conclusões dos mesmos de acordo com o método SPIDER.
- Sit-to-stand test to assess muscle strength after intradialytic exercises in chronic kidney disease patients: a systematic review with meta-analysisPublication . Almeida, Klebson da Silva; Costa, Natália Silva; Lima, Bráulio Nascimento; Neves, José Leonardo Dos Reis; Barreto, Luiz Gustavo Pereira; Freitas, Luana de Jesus; Silva, Monique Mesquita; Maneschy, Mariela de Santana; Chiavegato, Luciana Dias; Novo, AndréChronic kidney patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) experience a decline in muscle strength and functionality, as musculoskeletal disorders affect both strength and functional capacity. This study aims to evaluate the influence of intradialytic (ID) exercise on the strength and functionality of chronic kidney patients, as assessed by sit-to-stand test, and to identify the most commonly used sit-to-stand protocol. Methods: A search was conducted across eight databases to identify relevant studies published before March 29, 2024. Clinical trials investigating intradialytic exercises and utilizing the sitto-stand test as an assessment tool were eligible. The risk of bias in individual studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated and pooled in meta-analyses. The quality of metaanalyses was assessed using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Results: A total of 6717 studies were initially identified. After screening,17 articles involving 870 participants, met the inclusion criteria demonstrating acceptable methodological quality, with a mean PEDro scale of 5,23 (±1,56). Despite the lack of robust evidence, this review suggests that the ID exercise improves strength and functionality. Among the various sit-to-stand test subtypes, the 10-repetition sit-to-stand test was found to be the most effective. Conclusion: Despite the low quality of studies, the 10-repetition sit-to-stand test (10-STS) seems to be the most effective for evaluating muscle strength of lower limbs and functionality. ID exercise seems to positively impact muscle strength and, consequently, the functionality of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing HD.
