OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to verify the association between mood states with clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of women with fibromyalgia. METHODS: One hundred six participants answered the Sociodemographic and Clinical Questionnaire (QSDC) and the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS). The QSDC is composed of questions about personal and clinical aspects, while BRUMS evaluates mood state over six components: tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue and mental confusion. Data was treated with descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: The negative mood variables whore elevated, especially the tension, depression, fatigue and mental confusion, while the vigor was considered in low-level. It was also found that younger participants, who work, with a diagnosis of depression and particularly those having increased symptoms related to fibromyalgia had more depressed mood than their peers. CONCLUSION: Women with fibromyalgia had a trend toward depressed mood, and this feature is presented associated with sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Questionário nutricional simplificado de apetite (QNSA) para uso em programas de reabilitação cardiopulmonar e metabólica

This study aimed to translate and validate a Brazilian version of the Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ), checking its clarity and validity for the participants of the Cardiopulmonary and Metabolic Rehabilitation Program (CPMR). One hundred and forty-six subjects were interviewed: 79 males, mean age of 63 years (±10) and 67 women, mean age of 66 years (±11). Descriptive analysis was presented as mean, standard deviation and frequency. The internal consistency of the scale was assessed using Cronbachs alpha coefficient and factor analysis by the method of extraction of principal components analysis using Kaisers criteria (eigenvalues > 1). All questions of the instrument showed positive results regarding clarity. The questionnaire items presented factor loadings above 0.40, (ranging from 0.40 to 0.81). Except for the issue related to the amount of daily meals, all others showed high correlation with the total score of the Brazilian version. Regarding the analysis of internal consistency, the result of 0.61 was reached. In conclusion, the Brazilian Version of SNAQ proved to be valid for use in CPMR program participants, thus becoming an important tool in assessing the appetite of the Brazilian population.

Atenção em velejadores: conceitos e aplicações

The sail demands from the athlete vast knowledge of hydrodynamic, meteorology, rules and tactics, beyond physical and psychological demands as concentration and attention. The aim of this study was, through a literature review, to investigate the attention and your implication in the practice of sail. Attention is a variable of great importance in the context of competitive sail, considered the necessary ability to a best performance. For the athlete to reach and maintain good levels of attention it is necessary that he establishes performance goals, mental routines and use “trigger words”. The attention is intimately linked with the characteristics of sail, and could be considered a basic cognitive capacity for sailors.
