Palliative care (PC) is a differentiated healthcare area focused on promoting comfort, and preventing and alleviating suffering. End-of-life (EOL) care is integrated into this branch of medicine and will have great relevance in the near future as a result of increased life expectancy and highly disabling chronic diseases. It is imperative that healthcare professionals have the capacity and preparation to guarantee this care. The objective of this work is to propose a model that relates spirituality, emotional intelligence, PC knowledge, self-efficacy, and the ability of doctors and nurses to provide EOL care. A questionnaire was applied to collect data. The relationships between these latent variables were evaluated using structural equation models. The results indicate that self-efficacy, spirituality and knowledge positively influence the ability to provide EOL care. Emotional intelligence and spirituality directly and positively affect self-efficacy. Emotional intelligence has an indirect effect, mediated by self-efficacy, on the ability to provide EOL care.

Introduction. Brief interventions are used to prevent alcohol abuse in university students, but the effect of their application in different formats needs to be studied. Method. Randomized clinical trial with three groups: brief four-session program, brief advice and control group, in 50 participants, evaluated before the intervention, and at three and six months of follow-up. Results. Students who drank 100 or fewer standard drinks in the three months prior to the intervention decreased the amount of consumption in both interventions, but the change was not significant compared to the control group; On the other hand, the frequency of consumption decreased significantly in the second follow-up, when comparing the brief advice with the control group; There were also no significant differences for situational self-efficacy and negative consequences between both interventions and the control group. Students who drank more than 100 standard drinks at the initial evaluation and received intervention significantly reduced the amount and frequency of consumption, and the negative consequences, mainly in the brief advice; Situational self-efficacy increased, but not significantly. Conclusions. Brief advice has a greater impact on change in students with risky and harmful alcohol consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Higher education can be hugely transformative for students and has an important role in empowering human capital, innovation, and society's social, cultural, and environmental development. The expansion of higher education has promoted access for a more heterogeneous mix of students, but ensuring access does not guarantee academic success. This paper aims to analyse predictors of academic achievement in 447 first-year students in their 1st and 2nd semesters, considering variables including sex, age, parents' educational level and grades on entering higher education, along with levels of students' academic engagement and self-efficacy after some weeks at university. Results show statistically significant paths for sex, age, and GPA to 1st-semester achievement, for parent's educational levels to perceived self-efficacy, for students' academic engagement to 1stsemester achievement, and 1st-semester achievement to 2nd-semester achievement. Students' academic engagement also had an indirect effect on the 2nd-semester achievement. The correlation between academic engagement and self-efficacy was positive, strong, and statistically significant. The model explained 35.2% of the variance in 2nd-semester achievement and 15.0% of the variance in 1st-semester achievement. Knowledge about predictors of academic achievement and the importance of engagement and self-efficacy will support timely interventions, promoting success and preventing failure and dropout.

This article explores contemporary approaches to teaching and assessing L2 pronunciation, acknowledging a shift from prioritizing native-like pronunciation to emphasizing intelligibility. Leveraging this transition, the study introduces a Multimodal Assessment Task (MAT) aimed at assessing English pronunciation. The MAT empowers learners to handle the intricacies of spoken language with confidence through a number of structured activities. The participants were twenty-three pre-service teachers taking a pronunciation course in a TEFL program at a state-owned university in Argentina. Their responses to a self-assessment report revealed important advancements in their awareness of pronunciation, bolstered self-confidence, and self-efficacy in relation to learning L2 pronunciation. However, some students pinpointed certain challenges associated with the MAT, including the necessity for additional practice time and guidance, ongoing focus on certain sounds, and some difficulties related to prosody. This article advocates for further research to refine pronunciation teaching and assessment methods in language education, emphasizing ongoing exploration and improvement in this domain.

Objective. Investigate the psychometric properties of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire Frequency (ERQ-FR) and Self-Efficacy (ERQ-SE) scales in a Mexican sample. Method. A non-experimental, ex post facto exploratory study was carried out to assess the internal consistency and validity of both questionnaires, 471 adults participated. Results. The analysis of the internal consistency of both scales showed acceptable reliability (ERQ-FR: Chronbach's alpha =.71; and ERQ-SE Chronbach's alpha = .87). An exploratory factor analysis found two factors that explained 56,0 % of the variance in the ERQ-FR and 62,4 % of the variance in the ERQ-SE. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable indexes of adjustment and confirmed a two-factor structure for each scale, factor one was named cognitive reappraisal, and factor two was named expressive suppression. Conclusion. The ERQ-FR and ERQ-SE are instruments to assess frequency of use and perceived ability to implement cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression as emotion regulation strategies in the Mexican population.

Objective: to evaluate the perception of self-efficacy to provide humanized care by the nursing staff of a health institution specialized in rehabilitation in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the first semester of 2023. Methods: descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative study. Coates' Caring Efficacy Scale instrument was implemented in its Spanish version with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.91. Informed consent was obtained, and no data were collected. Results: the participants were 95 nurses with a mean age of 38.29 years (SD: 8.00), female (82.11%), single (57.89%), with children (62.11%), trained as a nurse technician (73.68%), performing nursing activities (86.32%), and with more than 5 years of work experience (64.21%). The item with the best rating was "If I think a client/patient is uncomfortable or may need help, I approach that person" with a mean of 5.07 (SD:1.52) categorized as "moderately agree", while the item with the worst rating was "I often find it difficult to make my point to patients/clients when I need to" with a mean of 2.44 (SD:1.56) categorized as "moderately disagree". The mean self-efficacy to provide humanized care was 148.13 (SD:23.75), categorized as moderately positive. Conclusions: the perception of self-efficacy to provide humanized care was positive and negatively related to the performance of care activities. There is a need to implement strategies to prevent dehumanization among caregivers and to implement training activities to improve care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To analyze functional aspects of breastfeeding, selfefficacy, and pain reported by mothers during breastfeeding, in newborns with severe and mild ankyloglossia. Methods: This is an observational study, carried out with 81 babies with ankyloglossia, assessed by the Bristol Tongue Assessment Tool (severe: scores 0–3; mild: scores 4–6) nested in a cohort carried out at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Maranhão, São Luis, Brazil. The functional aspects of breastfeeding were analyzed using the Breastfeeding Observation Form of the United Nations Children’s Fund (BOFUNICEF) and the LATCH Scoring System. Breastfeeding selfefficacy was measured using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale — Short-Form. Pain indicators were evaluated by the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. The significance level adopted was 5%. Results: Maternal age was 26.7±0.8 years, and 64.2% reported high school education. Most babies were male (67.9%), and the birth weight was 3232±60g. A significant association was detected in the sucking aspect evaluated by the BOF-UNICEF [β=0.22 (95%CI 0.07; 0.73), p-value=0.013]. However, the groups did not differ in the assessment of breastfeeding performed by the LATCH scale. The groups had no differences in the assessment of breastfeeding self-efficacy reported by mothers, and in pain scores. Conclusions: Despite the observation of sucking difficulty in infants with severe ankyloglossia., the quality of breastfeeding in general, maternal pain, and self-efficacy reported by mothers do not differ when compared with infants with mild ankyloglossia. Therefore, the severity of ankyloglossia seems not to affect the breastfeeding indicators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La artritis reumatoide (AR) cursa generalmente con una afectación mayor en el miembro superior, pudiendo ocasionar dificultades en el desempeño de actividades en el día a día. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue establecer la relación entre la autoeficacia, la intensidad del dolor y la duración de los síntomas en pacientes con AR, y analizar cómo y en qué medida cada uno de ellos influye en la discapacidad funcional, así como, conocer el valor predictivo de la autoeficacia sobre las demás variables. Estudio transversal con una muestra de 117 mujeres con AR. Las variables de evaluación empleadas fueron la escala visual analógica (EVA), el cuestionario QuickDASH y la escala española de autoeficacia en enfermedades reumáticas. Los resultados muestran que el modelo más significativo para la función (R2 = 0,35) incluye la variable función y dolor, por lo que, sí hay relación existente entre la autoeficacia, la intensidad del dolor y la funcionalidad del miembro superior, así como la asociación de las puntuaciones obtenidas en la EVA, QuickDASH y la escala española de autoeficacia en enfermedades reumáticas para su evaluación. Nuestros resultados, concuerdan con estudios previos donde se establece la posible relación entre la autoeficacia y la discapacidad funcional, así como la autoeficacia y su relación con funciones físicas, demostrando que un bajo nivel de autoeficacia implica una disminución de la funcionalidad, pero sin que ninguna variable sea más predictora que otra. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) primarily affects the upper limbs and can cause disturbances in the performance of daily activities. The main objective of this study was to establish the relationship between self-efficacy, pain intensity, and duration of symptoms in patients with RA and analyse how each influences functional disability, and to determine the predictive value of self-efficacy over the other variables. Cross-sectional study with a sample of 117 women diagnosed with RA. The endpoints were the visual analogue scale (VAS), Quick-DASH questionnaire and the Spanish scale of self-efficacy in rheumatic diseases. The most significant model for function (R2 = 0.35) includes function and pain, therefore, there is a relationship between self-efficacy, pain intensity, and upper limb functionality. Our results agree with previous studies where a relationship between self-efficacy and functional disability is established, as well as self-efficacy and its relationship with physical functions, demonstrating that a low level of self-efficacy implies a decrease in functionality; however, no variable is more predictive than another.

A aprendizagem autorregulada e as crenças de autoeficácia são conceitos essenciais na educação, influenciando a motivação e o desempenho dos alunos. Este trabalho objetivou analisar a produção científica de artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2020, sobre aprendizagem autorregulada e crenças de autoeficácia no Ensino Fundamental nas seguintes bases de dados: SciELO, PePSIC, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Google Acadêmico. Os resultados apresentaram indicadores de que a autoeficácia afeta o processo de autorregulação, pois favorece a percepção e promoção dos alunos como agentes do processo de aprendizagem, a aquisição de conhecimentos e habilidades, o vínculo dos alunos com os colegas, professores e com a escola, refletindo no comportamento, desempenho e motivação, porém nenhum deles apresentou uma correlação entre a autorregulação e a autoeficácia, o que indica a necessidade de mais estudos sobre essas temáticas.

O presente estudo teve por objetivo examinar o efeito das emoções alegria, amor, orgulho, raiva, exaustão, desesperança, nas seis dimensões da autoeficácia relacionadas a diferentes tarefas da docência (adaptação do ensino às necessidades individuais dos alunos, ensino, motivação dos discentes, manutenção da disciplina dos alunos, cooperação com os colegas e os pais dos discentes, e formas de lidar com as mudanças). Participaram do estudo 1263 professores do ensino fundamental e médio. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as emoções discretas experimentadas pelo professor têm efeitos distintos nas diversas dimensões da autoeficácia docente. São discutidas implicações do estudo para a escola, em particular o papel dos gestores na criação de condições que favoreçam uma formação de professores direcionada para dimensões específicas da atividade docente, e na construção de relações com os professores que favoreçam a experiência de emoções com valência positiva.

El sector eléctrico colombiano cada vez recibe una mayor presión para que opere de una manera responsable. En ese sentido, un clima ético benevolente encaja con las expectativas de todas las partes interesadas. Asimismo, el compromiso afectivo, la motivación intrínseca y la autoeficacia son recursos personales imprescindibles para la sostenibilidad organizacional. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el efecto moderador del compromiso afectivo y el mediador de la motivación intrínseca respecto a la relación entre clima ético benevolente y autoeficacia laboral. Se usa un modelo condicional, cuantitativo-correlacional. La muestra la componen 448 empleados con estudios universitarios. Un clima que se apoya en sentimientos de amistad, interés común y responsabilidad social regula las emociones y las impulsa en una clara dirección positiva, lo que nutre la identificación afectiva persona-organización y la motivación más íntima del empleado; además, ajusta e incrementa la autoeficacia laboral. El propiciar contextos laborales prosociales es prioritario en Colombia pues las organizaciones, y especialmente las públicas, no pueden apartar su mirada de los procesos éticos y de las necesidades sociales

La psicología ha constatado que las creencias en las propias capacidades tienen relación con el desempeño, por lo que cobra relevancia estudiar la percepción de autoeficacia en educación superior. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la relación entre autoeficacia académica, desempeño (Notas de Enseñanza Media o NEM, Prueba de Transición Universitaria o PTU, expectativas de aprobación) en estudiantes universitarios considerando el tipo de acceso a la educación superior en contexto de pandemia. El estudio fue cuantitativo, transversal con un muestreo por conveniencia. La muestra fue de 780 estudiantes chilenos dividida en un grupo de acceso regular 82.7% y el grupo proinclusión 17.3%. Se utilizó la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica de Situaciones Académicas (EAPESA) y medidas de desempeño académico. Los datos se analizaron mediante técnicas descriptivas, prueba t para muestra independiente, correlación de Pearson y análisis de varianza ANOVA de una vía. Los resultados indican que existen diferencias entre autoeficacia y medidas de desempeño según tipo de acceso a la universidad. El grupo de acceso proinclusión presentó mayor autoeficacia, mayor NEM y menor PTU. Ambos grupos presentan similares expectativas de aprobación. Se concluye que la autoeficacia difiere según vía de acceso a la universidad y según medidas de desempeño. Estudiantes con mayor autoeficacia presentan mayores expectativas de aprobación pese a las adversidades.

Introdução: A problemática do álcool e o seu impacto nas sociedades tem merecido cada vez mais atenção pelos decisores políticos e organizações de saúde. Os profissionais de saúde, como a população em geral, constroem significados e desenvolvem comportamentos e atitudes em relação ao álcool e às pessoas com consumos problemáticos, que influenciam a sua prática profissional e impactam a relação com as pessoas (Crothers et al., 2011). Contudo, as atitudes e comportamentos dos profissionais de saúde em Portugal não estão ainda descritas. Objetivos: Caracterizar as atitudes dos profissionais de saúde portugueses face ao álcool, ao seu consumo, e na relação com pessoas com consumo problemático. Material e Métodos: Estudo descritivo, correlacional, transversal e quantitativo, realizado em 2021. Parecer positivo pela Comissão de Ética da ARSLVT (1903/CES/2021). Utilizada a Escala de atitudes face ao álcool, aos problemas ligados ao álcool e às pessoas com perturbação por consumo de álcool – EAFAA-PT (Seabra et. al., 2022ª; Seabra et. al., 2022b), com 471 profissionais (médicos, enfermeiros, psicólogos e assistentes sociais) que responderam a um questionário. Resultados: Participantes com idade média de 44.7 anos (DP=11.5), 80.5% mulheres. Maioritariamente enfermeiros (53.1%) e médicos (30.6%), com média de 20.5 anos (DP=11.2) de prática profissional. Da amostra, 71.2% têm experiência profissional com pessoas com consumo problemático de álcool, 24.5% nunca tiveram acesso a formação académica sobre a temática e 57.9% nunca tiveram formação em serviço. 45.2% têm familiares com consumo problemático. 30.1% demonstram atitudes negativas, sendo os enfermeiros aqueles com atitudes menos positivas e os psicólogos aqueles com atitudes mais positivas. Não se identificam diferenças face ao sexo ou tempo de prática profissional. Quanto maior a idade, mais negativas são as atitudes (r=-0.105; p

Introdução: A incontinência urinária é um problema de saúde publica que afeta diretamente na qualidade de vida e na autoeficácia do utente, mas não existem instrumentos de medida específicos adaptados para o contexto moçambicano para medir e ou avaliar a incontinência urinária, na realização de exercícios da musculatura do pavimento pélvico. Objetivo: Contribuir para a adaptação cultural, linguística e validação para o contexto moçambicano da Escala de Autoeficácia de Broome para Exercícios da Musculatura do Pavimento Pélvico. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico, composto por 97 participantes, dos quais 7 que constituíram o painel de peritos (para validade de conteúdo) e 90 utentes atendidos no Hospital Central de Nampula, Hospital Provincial de Tete e Hospital Central de Maputo, com Incontinência urinaria, alfabetizados, com uma idade máxima de 79 anos e uma mínima de 19 anos. Foram caracterizados pela estatística descritiva e usou-se o teste de coeficiente de corelação intercalasse para verificar a fidedignidade inter-observador e o alfa de Crombach para verificar a consistência interna, recorrendo-se ao software SPSS, versão 26.0.

Conclusão: Aferiu-se que a versão Moçambicana da Broome Pelvic Muscle Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale é valida e fidedigna como um instrumento de medida de autoeficácia para amostra em estudo.

Utilizar los beneficios del aprendizaje por descubrimiento para la mejora de las competencias digitales induce a los estudiantes explorar su creatividad, adquirir y aplicar conocimientos de forma autónoma para resolver problemas. El objetivo fue determinar la influencia del programa “Descubro y autorregulo mis conocimientos” para la mejora de las competencias digitales en estudiantes del nivel primario de una institución educativa de Lima, en el año 2023. Fue aplicada, a nivel explicativo, con enfoque cuantitativo, cuasi experimental, se utilizó el método hipotético – deductivo. La población fue de 200 estudiantes del nivel primario divididos en dos grupos. Se realizó una adaptación del cuestionario creado por Pino (2022) sometiéndolo a la validez de constructo (Prueba KMO y Barlett = 0.905), incorporando los componentes actitudinales y afectivos para medir las competencias digitales. Los resultados obtenidos en la prueba de hipótesis general (Sig=0.00 < 0.05) y en las específicas (sig=0.00 < 0.05) confirmaron los supuestos del estudio. Se concluye en la necesidad de realizar experiencias educativas motivadoras y de transversalidad para afianzar el aprendizaje experimental en pertinencia con la realidad, siendo la intervención realizada un paradigma educativo para plasmar los beneficios del componente afectivo en la autoeficacia, empatía y competencias interpersonales en el clima afectivo del aula.

Estudos anteriores indicaram a alta frequência de estressores e estresse na pós-graduação, contudo notou-se a necessidade de compreender melhor o papel das estratégias de enfrentamento nesse ambiente e o impacto de todas essas variáveis no bem-estar dos discentes. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a relação dos estressores e autoeficácia, mediados pelo estresse e enfrentamento, com o bem-estar psicológico de pós-graduandos em Ciências Contábeis. Para o alcance do objetivo, realizou-se um survey on-line, com questionário constituído pelas escalas de Estressores (preocupações e dificuldades), Autoeficácia-Geral, Estresse Percebido, Brief Cope e Questionário de Saúde Geral (para mensurar o bem-estar), além de questões sobre o perfil dos respondentes. A amostra foi constituída por 366 participantes. Observou-se que os estressores mais frequentes evidenciam o receio de não alcançar bons resultados e a dificuldade em conciliar as demandas da pós-graduação com outros aspectos da vida. Na média, os discentes apresentaram autoeficácia elevada e a maioria apresentou nível alto de estresse. As estratégias de enfrentamento mais usadas foram enfrentamento ativo, autoculpabilização e reinterpretação positiva. Com o uso da análise de mediação, concluiu-se que os estressores, bem como a autoeficácia, são mediados pelo estresse e pela estratégia de reinterpretação positiva, explicando, assim o bem-estar psicológico dos pós-graduandos. Dessa forma, a identificação das variáveis investigadas fomenta o debate e fornece respaldo para o planejamento e execução de ações institucionais que objetivem amenizar estressores, bem como auxiliar os discentes para que eles desenvolvam maior capacidade adaptativa frente aos desafios da pós-graduação.

RESUMO Este artigo objetivou comparar o senso de autoeficácia dos professores da Pré-Escola e Ensino Fundamental I para ensinar estudantes público-alvo da Educação Especial (PAEE) na sala de aula regular da rede pública municipal e relacionar o senso de autoeficácia com dados demográficos e de atuação profissional. Participaram da pesquisa 17 professores da Pré-Escola e 27 do Ensino Fundamental 1 de um município do interior paulista. Os dados foram obtidos mediante questionário de caracterização e a Escala de Eficácia Docente para Práticas Inclusivas (EEDPI) via tendência central, dispersão e correlacionais. Quando comparados com os professores do Fundamental 1, os da Pré-Escola possuem mais idade, menos alunos em sala e sentem-se mais preparados para incluir. Os valores de autoeficácia foram semelhantes entre os grupos e são descritos os dados de correlação entre os instrumentos. Corroborou-se na sinalização da potência e sensibilidade da EEDPI para avaliação da autoeficácia docente e da influência do constructo no contexto educativo.

self-efficacy, self-compassion, positive and negative feelings, moral competence, social support, positive relationships with a colleague, work engagement, age, professional experience (in years), time teaching in the same school, number of schools currently teaching, and approximate number of students per week. One hundred primary and high-school teachers (74 women) participated in the study (mean age 40.9; SD = 10.01). Network analysis provided a model which encompasses the six most relevant aspects that interfere in the life and work of basic education teachers: life satisfaction, self-efficacy, self-esteem, positive affects, work engagement, and giving instrumental social support. In addition, the yielded model showed that self-efficacy presented the closest relationship with life satisfaction. We discuss the results in line with previous studies on self-efficacy. Interventions directed at basic education teachers may be more effective if self-efficacy is part of the program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to establish which parenting style is associated with optimum outcomes among adolescents of Spanish families considering adolescents with low vs. high self-efficacy. Although classical studies identify the authoritative parenting style (based on warmth and strictness) as the best parental strategy, emerging research seriously questions the benefits of parental strictness. Additionally, the impact of parenting on the adolescent’s psychosocial competence has been studied for years, but less is known about whether it might vary depending on individual characteristics of the adolescent (e.g., self-efficacy). Participants were 1029 Spanish adolescents, 453 males (44%), aged 12-17 years. Families were classified in one of the parenting styles groups (authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent, or neglectful), and adolescents were grouped by low vs. high self-efficacy. Adolescent psychosocial competence was examined through emotional and academic self-concept, psychological maladjustment (hostility/aggression, negative self-esteem, emotional responsivity, instability, and negative view of the world), and academic performance (grade point average and number of failing grades). Main and interaction effects of parenting style and adolescent self-efficacy were tested. Main effect results indicated that adolescents with low self-efficacy were always associated with the worst psychosocial competence. Consistently, the main effect findings indicated that adolescents from indulgent and authoritative families were associated with better results than those from neglectful and authoritarian families. However, the indulgent parenting style yielded the best results. The impact of parenting might not be the same for adolescents in all cultural contexts. Contrary to findings from classical studies, parental strictness seems to be unnecessary or even detrimental for adolescents with low and high self-efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Parents have a fundamental role in the formation of their children's habits, including habits related to childhood obesity, thus it becomes attractive to investigate how capable parents think they are in preventing childhood obesity. This is a quantitative exploratory descriptive research. The survey included 747 parents, 55% male and 45% female, with a mean age of 36 years. In the results we saw that fathers consider themselves moderately capable, mothers showed more robust selfefficacy, the increase in the level of education of the fathers, tends to an increase in the belief, the increase in the level of education of the children, showed that there is a tendency to a decrease in the belief. It is concluded that parental self-efficacy is important in preventing childhood obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Entrepreneurship is considered fundamental to economic development since entrepreneurs generate their own economic benefit and indirectly promote employment, boost innovation, and attract human and financial resources and investment in infrastructure to the territory, among other benefits. Latin America has very high rates of entrepreneurship, so to deepen our knowledge of the factors that influence entrepreneurship, it is necessary to investigate the region. This article tests various theories of factors (self-efficacy, fear of failure, perception of opportunity, and socialization) that determine the decision to become an entrepreneur, using a quantitative methodology with a representative sample of 27,341 Latin American individuals (including 4,416 entrepreneurs). The results partially support these factors and show that Latin American entrepreneurs differ from the profile indicated in previous literature. In addition, results seem to indicate that the level of development of a country determines the strength with which the factors studied influence entrepreneurship.

RESUMO Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, observou-se um menor nível de prática de atividade física pela população, o que pode influenciar o nível de autoeficácia para dor na população com dor musculoesquelética. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar se existe associação entre o tempo de prática de atividade física e o nível de autoeficácia para dor na população com dor musculoesquelética durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no estado de São Paulo, controlada por variáveis biopsicossociais. Realizou-se um estudo através de um formulário online com questões sobre aspectos sociodemográficos, tempo semanal de prática de atividade física, níveis de estresse e ansiedade, intensidade de dor e autoeficácia para dor (PSEQ-10 - Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire). A análise estatística ocorreu por meio de dois modelos de regressão linear múltipla, com (modelo A) e sem (modelo B) o controle dos dados por fatores psicoemocionais (ansiedade e estresse) em 150 pessoas. Foi encontrada associação entre o tempo de prática de atividade física semanal e o nível de autoeficácia para dor no modelo A (p=0,0271, β=1,914) e no modelo B (p=0,0333, β=1,826). Intensidade de dor durante a pandemia, índice de massa corporal (IMC) e sexo, dentre as variáveis de controle, também foram associadas ao nível de autoeficácia para dor. Maior tempo de prática de atividade física foi associado a maior nível de autoeficácia para dor na população com dor musculoesquelética durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Intensidade de dor durante a pandemia, IMC e sexo também foram associados ao nível de autoeficácia para dor.

Objetivo: entender como mães vivenciaram o cuidado com seus filhos prematuros em casa em meio à pandemia da COVID-19. Método: estudo qualitativo, descritivo, desenvolvido entre janeiro e dezembro de 2021, mediante entrevistas remotas com 25 mães de prematuros, após um mês da alta hospitalar, com Análise de Conteúdo temática. Resultados: desvelaram-se preocupações maternas referentes ao cuidado com o filho na pandemia, além de influências do período pandêmico na rotina familiar; acompanhamento do seguimento das crianças nos serviços de saúde descontinuado; sobrecarga e medo. Esses aspectos podem expor o bebê a maior risco de alterações do seu desenvolvimento, bem como afetar a autoeficácia materna, uma vez que o receio das complicações decorrentes do nascimento pré-termo associou-se à angústia de possível contaminação pelo coronavírus. Conclusão: a prematuridade vivenciada em meio à pandemia COVID-19 repercutiu negativamente tanto no cotidiano da vida familiar como no acompanhamento de saúde do prematuro.
