Associação entre aspectos psicossociais do trabalho e qualidade de vida de mototaxistas

This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life of motorcycle taxi drivers and the association with psychosocial characteristics of their work. This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study with a sample of 400 motorcycle taxi drivers in Jequié, Bahia State, Brazil. The study used a form containing demographic and socioeconomic data, WHO Quality of Life-Bref Questionnaire (WHOQOL-Bref), and the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). Motorcycle taxi drivers with greater decision-making control over their work showed better self-rated quality of life in the psychological domain; those with high psychological demands presented better self-rated quality of life in the social relations and environmental domains; those with high strain and active work showed better self-rated quality of life in the social and environmental domains. The psychosocial work environment and especially decision-making autonomy were thus important determinants of self-rated quality of life in this group of motorcycle taxi drivers.Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la calidad de vida de los mototaxistas y su relacion con los aspectos psicosociales del trabajo.

English/Portuguese J Nurs UFPE on line., Recife, 10(8):2838-44, Aug., 2016 2839 ISSN: 1981-8963 DOI: 10.5205/reuol.9373-82134-1-RV1008201608 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) related to the metabolic changes associated with human behavior change in relation to diet and the life style. It was estimated that in 1995, DM reached about 4, 0% of the adult population in world, and in 2025 it will reach a prevalence of 5.4%. Most of this increase will occur in developing countries, accentuating the pattern of concentration of cases in the age group of 45-64 years-old. Diabetic patients require special attention to the control of comorbidities, such as physical inactivity and obesity, both related to the lack of care about the disease, physical inactivity, nutrition. These changes can compromise the quality of life (QOL) if there is no proper guidance on the importance of the complications that arise. The evaluation of health related to QoL has grown in the general population. Studies show that the increase in NCDs and their risk factors influence the QOL of indiviuals. Thus, QOL is perceived by the individual through their physical, emotional and cognitive through relationships and social roles adopted in life, besides the various aspects related to the environment where they live. To ensure means and situations that increase QoL could help to reduce diseases. Thus, the relevance of this study is able to take information that can contribute to a reflection about the QoL. Moreover, it may will unveil the view of users of the family health unit (FHU) in relation to the QV and then propose by this knowledge, public policies that can be proposed and discussed in the health scenario. This study aims to analyze the influence of obesity on the QOL of diabetics. This is an epidemiological, cross-sectional and census study conducted from April to May 2012 with 101 diabetic patients enrolled in HIPERDIA program in a USF in the city of Jequié-BA. The study included individuals of both sexes; registered in HIPERDIA program in monitoring the health team. On the other hand they were excluded five diabetics who did not agree to participate, 6 with cognitive impairment that prevented them from responding or understand the questionnaire and 4 that were not found at home after three visits on alternate schedules. Data were collected through questionnaires from interviews conducted in households where participants were invited and informed about the nature of the study. After agreeing to participate and sign the Informed Consent and Informed (IC), it gave start to the proceedings. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (Protocol CEP / UESB No 135/2008). The interviews were conducted by standardized interviewers, which are able to address the questions of the participants on the issues of the study. We used two instruments for data collection, the first with socio-demographic and economic issues, lifestyle, being affected by diseases and anthropometric measurements; and the second one, WHOQOL Bref, which consists of 26 questions that represent four areas of assessment of quality of life: physical, psychological, social and environment relations. To measure the Abdominal Circumference (AC) and Circumference Hip (CQ) we used a tape measure with minimum unit of 0.1 cm; for the measurement of body weight we used portable scale (Tech Line) and height (in centimeters), a compact Stadiometer (E210Wiso). To calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) we used the formula [WEIGHT/HEIGHT]. Thus, it is possible to classify individuals as underweight (BMI <18.5); normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9); overweight (BMI 25-29.9) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30.0). The measure of waist/hip ratio (WHR) was calculated from the reason WHR=CA (cm)/QC (cm) and the AC was measured through the midpoint between the lower costal margin and the iliac crest. We considered having abdominal obesity individuals with WHR ≥ 1.0 for men and ≥ 0.85 for women, and CA ≥ 102 cm for men and ≥ 88 cm for women. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software, and the analysis in Statical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. A descriptive analysis (relative and absolute frequency) for categorical variables and the mean and standard deviation for numerical variables was carried out. The normality of the data was analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test. To compare the QOL between the sexes of the individuals we used the nonparametric MannWhitney. The correlation between anthropometric indicators and domains of QOL was done by Spearman correlation. The significance level was p <0.05.

The prevalence of smoking was 49.5%, alcohol 63.4%, the systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) of 86.1% and 54.5% of cardiovascular disease. Among the 61.4% respondents did not practice regular physical activity. In the analysis of anthropometric indicators, when measured BMI, we found that 67.3% of subjects were overweight or obese (Table 1). Table 1.

The study used a form containing demographic and socioeconomic data, WHO Quality of Life-Bref Questionnaire (WHOQOL-Bref), and the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). Motorcycle taxi drivers with greater decision-making control over their work showed better self-rated quality of life in the psychological domain; those with high psychological demands presented better self-rated quality of life in the social relations and environmental domains; those with high strain and active work showed better self-rated quality of life in the social and environmental domains. The psychosocial work environment and especially decision-making autonomy were thus important determinants of self-rated quality of life in this group of motorcycle taxi drivers.Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la calidad de vida de los mototaxistas y su relacion con los aspectos psicosociales del trabajo.

Representações de alunos surdos sobre a inclusão nas aulas de educação física

Inclusion is a social process in school aims to change attitudes and to build a position to cover everyone without distinction. Thus, the objective was to analyze the representations of deaf students on their inclusion in physical education classes. It is qualitative, descriptive and analytical, attended eight deaf students from 2 public schools in a city in the countryside of Bahia. For data production, it was used a semi -structured interview, through the aid of an interpreter of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), at the same time, it was translated by the interpreter and transcribed by the researchers. Data analysis used the technique of categorical content analysis. The inclusion of deaf people in physical education classes still failed to materialize and in fact, even having found some teachers with pedagogical actions that proved to be inclusive, yet they still leave many gaps, regarding satisfactory learning of students because they simply just integrate deaf students in the classroom. It is necessary that the school and the teacher ensure that the curriculum is accessible to them, so that they can contribute to the construction of citizenship, motor development, cognitive and social-emotional student.
