Redução das questões de uma escala de medida de opinião

In order to study peoples opinions on concepts such as mental health, mental illness and assistance in mental health, the Scale for Measuring Opinions (SMO) was built and applied. With the aim of improving the efficiency of this instrument, the present study was conducted on the basis of three criteria: (a) critical analysis of the sentence and of the pertinence of each question, observing repetitions and problems understanding the sentences; (b) importance of the assertion based on the total score, calculating Pearsons correlation coefficients; (c) correlation of each question with the average score per category. Questions have been reformulated, regrouped or eliminated, considering their pertinence or low correlation with the average score. As a result, a 34-item SMO was obtained.Para estudar opinioes das pessoas sobre conceitos de saude, doenca e assistencia em saude mental foi construida e aplicada a Escala de Medida de Opiniao - EMO.

Enfermeira interagindo terapeuticamente com paciente idosa em depressão crônica

En el modelo humanista de asistencia procuramos analisar la experiencia vivida por una enfermera interagiendo con paciente en depresion cronica. Era una paciente atendida en el Nucleo de Apoyo Psico-social (NAPS), de 60 anos de edad, presentando sintomas depresivos, propios de su edad, acentuados probablemente por sus experiencias de sufrimiento, durante el percurso de vida. Fue una interaccion terapeutica ya que fue abordado el asunto de interes de la paciente (y no el de interes de la enfermera); el ritmo de la comunicacion fue determinado por la paciente; la enfermera (Excepto en el inicio cuando estava un poco ansiosa) acompano sus comunicaciones, se aproximo fisicamente cuando fue necesario; intervino solamente en los momentos adecuados; inspiro la confianza necesaria para que ella pudiese hablar de sentimientos intimos; la ayudo a recuperarse cuando se mostro bastante emocionada; conducio segura, pero con actitud comprensiva, hasta que la paciente se sintiese mas tranquila para dejarla; demostro que poderia ayudarla en otros momentos caso ella sintiese necesidad. La interaccion alcanzo su objetivo ayudando la paciente y siendo tecnicamente adecuada en los aspectos diagnosticos y terapeutica.In a humanist care model we searched to analyse experiences lived by nurses interacting with chronic depression patients. There was a female patient who was being assisted by Psycho-social Support Nucleus (NAP), 60 years old, presenting depressive symptoms, proper for her age, probably stressed by her suffering experiences in life. It was a therapeutic interaction as matters of the patients interest (not the nurses interest) have been presented; the pace of communication has been determined b the patient herself; the nurse (except in the very beginning when the patient was a little anxious) followed her communication, physically approaching her whenever it was necessary; intervened only at necessary moments; inspired confidence that was necessary for the patient to talk about her intimate feelings; helped her to recover when she was out of control; conducted her safely, but with comprehensive attitude until the patient felt easy to leave her; demonstrated that she could help her in other moments if she thought it was necessary. Interaction achieved its aims helping the patient and being technically adequate for therapeutic and diagnosis aspects.
