    (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, 2011-06-01) Garcia, Leandro Martin Totaro [UNIFESP]; Fisberg, Mauro [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This study characterized the physical activity and barriers reported by adolescents attending the Physical Education service of the Adolescent Care and Support Center, São Paulo, Brazil. An exploratory study was conducted using anamnesis data from 118 adolescents aged 10 to 19 years seen between April 2005 and June 2008. The following aspects were analyzed according to gender and age group: participation in leisure-time physical activities and physical education classes, physical activity preferences, and barriers to preferred physical activity. Data are reported as frequencies and were compared by Fisher's exact test. Enjoying physical activities was reported by 93.2% of the adolescents, whereas 50.8% did not perform any physical activity during their leisure time. The lack of participation in school physical education classes predominated among older adolescents of both genders. Games and team games were the preferred activities, irrespective of gender or age. The lack of company or friends and the lack of places were the most frequently reported barriers to preferred physical activity. The results highlight the importance of a health service program for adolescents that promotes, guides, and supports a more active lifestyle.

    Dificuldades para enfrentar sozinho as demandas do tratamento: vivências do adolescente hemofílico
    (Escola Paulista de Enfermagem, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2012-01-01) Vrabic, Ana Claudia Acerbi; Ribeiro, Circéa Amália [UNIFESP]; Ohara, Conceicao Vieira da Silva [UNIFESP]; Borba, Regina Issuzu Hirooka de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    OBJECTIVE: To understand the reasons why the adolescent hemophiliac does not adhere to hemophilia treatment. METHODS: A qualitative study, conducted with seven adolescents, whose data were collected through semistructured interviews, using symbolic interactionism as the theoretical reference and interpretive interactionism as the methodology. RESULTS: Adolescents can not meet the demands and difficulties of the recommended treatment alone, they do not assume responsibilities inherent in this, and at the same time, judge what is appropriate treatment, while not valuing as essential the preventive aspects and feeling disbelief of its effectiveness against complications, as well as being dissatisfied with the care received in the service. CONCLUSIONS: The results reinforced the importance of family support to guarantee continuity of treatment for the adolescent hemophiliac and to provide additional subsidies to rethink care provided to them in specialized services, in order to facilitate the delivery of assistance geared to the demands of this population.

    Tradução e validação do Questionário de Avaliação do Preparo para a Transição (TRAQ) para o português brasileiro em uma população de adolescentes e adultos jovens com doença reumática crônica
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2017-07-06) Anelli, Catherine Gusman [UNIFESP]; Len, Claudio Arnaldo [UNIFESP]; Terreri, Maria Teresa de Sande e Lemos Ramos Ascensão [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2661280959330284; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5997256114741601; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3165571950699400; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Objective: To translate and validate a Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) in a population of transitional youth with chronic rheumatologic disorders. This questionnaire evaluates the readiness of the patient for making the transition from the pediatric health service to adult care. Methods: We followed the 4-phase methodology for translation and validation of generic questionnaires including translation, back translation, pilot testing and clinical validation of the final instrument. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to assess the overall internal consistency of the final instrument. Results: We enrolled 150 patients with an average age of 17.0 years (SD = 2.2 years, range 14-21years) for the final validation of the instrument. There were 71 patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) (47.3%), 64 with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (42.7%) and 15 with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) (10%). An initial analysis identified the dimension "Talking with providers" consisting of two questions as not fitting the translated questionnaire due to a very high ceiling effect and had to be excluded. All other translated items favorably contributed to the overall consistency of the final instrument and deleting that dimension did not result in a substantial increase in the Cronbach Alpha. Conclusions: With the exception of one dimension our Brazilian-Portuguese translated version of the TRAQ could be validated in a population of transitional youth with chronic rheumatologic disorders. It is a non-specific disease questionnaire, thus it can be used to evaluate the transition readiness of other Brazilian patients with chronic diseases.
