Full textStroke is one of our country’s most common disease and it strikes the individualin different ways. A lifelong disability/handicap might be a result of the disease.Activities of daily living help the patient to regain some of the strength that givesback quality of life. The aim with this study was to investigate how stroke-patientsin hospital gained ADL. Research questions were: What ADL was planned foreach patient, which ADL-training was given to each patient and what health carepersonnel helped them. This study was made as an observation and was performedduring one and a half week at a nursing ward in southern Sweden. Theresults indicate that the stroke patients´ goals were fulfilled with help of rehabilitation.

Full textBackground Loss of the ability to independently perform tasks of basic ADL is a common problem in the care of institutionalized elderly. Loss of ADL function is a source of suffering and prolonged institutionalization. It is necessary to effectively counter the risks and develop the care a deeper insight of the experiences from patients with losses in their ADL function. Purpose To describe experiences of performing of ADL in hospital as described by institutionalized elderly with a loss of ADL function. Methods Qualitative interviews with eight elderly patients institutionalized at a Swedish university hospital. Results The participants had in general a positive opinion of the care they received and they felt that it improved the feeling of having lost some ADL function. They felt troubled about being dependent of someone else and getting help with private hygiene on the basis of its personal nature. The routines and the experience of stressed staff made the participants reluctant to make demands or ask for help. Conclusion The results of the study showed that there is a need to develop a person centered approach where patients at risk are identified and given opportunity to participate in the work to strengthen their ability to perform ADL independently.

Full textAbstract Background: The population in Sweden is getting older, which results in complicated conditions, re-admissions and increased pressure on healthcare services. Patients’ deficient perceptions of their performance capacity contributes to re-admission. By estimating activities in daily life (ADL), the occupational therapist map areas of activity in which the patient performs insufficient. Purpose: To investigate patients’ perceptions of their performance capacity and whether these are affected by an ADL assessment or not. Method: Prospective cross-sectional study through a questionnaire. An instrument for gathering estimated performance capacity was created. 32 people participated in the study. Data from the instrument was compiled and analyzed in SPSS by paried samples T-test. Results: Patients' perceptions of their performance capacity matched at first estimation to 21% with the ADL-assessment. Patients' estimation after ADL assessment conformed to 71%, an increase of 238% on a three-star significance level, p = 0.0000 by paried samples T-test. Conclusion: ADL assessment is essential to ensure that the patients’ perceptions of their performance capacity are consistent with how the current hospitalization affect their performance. ADL assessment is an important part of the care chain, and the occupational therapist has a unique way to investigate patient needs.

Introduction: OpenEHR is a standardization of Health Information Systems (HIS) that is mainly concerned with the exchange of Electronic Health Records (EHR). One of the major obstacles to the adoption of openEHR is the lack of database persistence specifications. Objective: The aim of this work is the mapping of storage structures from the Archetype Definition Language (ADL) specifications which describe clinical knowledge structure. Method: This research initially makes a systematic mapping about persistence structures that are derived directly from ADL specifications, i.e. without dependences from the Reference Model (RM) of openEHR. A new persistence strategy is proposed and compared with ones found in the literature. Results: Assumptions, criteria and rules were used to present the proposed approach. Its evaluation considered quantitative aspects of persistence structures. Conclusion: The evaluation revealed some advantages of proposed approach, such as: reductions of reference attributes (referential integrity) and redundancy in clinical database; production of unidentified clinical records in relation to the patient; creation of a single base table for each archetype, regardless of its use in the form of slots; scalability of database schema (stable number of database tables), even in the occurrence of recursion through slots.
Introdução: OpenEHR é uma padronização dos Sistemas de Informação em Saúde (SIS) que se preocupa principalmente com a troca de Registros de Saúde Eletrônicos (RES). Um dos maiores obstáculos à adoção do openEHR é a carência de especificações de persistência de banco de dados. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é o mapeamento de estruturas de armazenamento a partir das especificações Archetype Definition Language (ADL) que descrevem a estrutura do conhecimento clínico. Métodos: Esta pesquisa inicialmente faz um mapeamento sistemático sobre estruturas de persistência que são derivadas diretamente de especificações ADL, isto é, sem dependências do Modelo de Referência (RM) de openEHR. Uma nova estratégia de persistência é proposta e comparada com as encontradas na literatura. Resultados: Foram utilizados pressupostos, critérios e regras para apresentar a abordagem proposta. Uma avaliação considerou aspectos quantitativos das estruturas de persistência, em comparação com o que foi encontrado na literatura. Conclusões: A avaliação revelou algumas vantagens da abordagem proposta, tais como: reduções de atributos de referência (integridade referencial) e redundância em banco de dados clínicos; produção de registros clínicos não identificados em relação ao paciente; criação de uma tabela de base única para cada arquétipo, independentemente da sua utilização sob a forma de slots; escalabilidade do esquema de banco de dados (número estável de tabelas de banco de dados), mesmo na ocorrência de recursão através de slots.

Full textThe assessment of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) seeks to analyze how well a person with physical and/or mental disabilities can perform various tasks in the daily life, such as personal hygiene, cooking and cleaning. Occupational therapists perform the subjective assessment using standardized checklists. These do not provide a sufficiently detailed picture of a person’s ability, so there is a need for an improved system that can be used for ADL assessment of people with different types of disabilities. The aim of this project has been to develop a mobile system for ADL assessment adapted for a home environment. The system is divided into two subsystems. Subsystem 1 consists of a mobile phone application for Android which, together with a motion sensor, records a person’s activity. Subsystem 2 is a Windows application that stores collected data in a database and displays the measurement results in the form of a graph. The system has been tested and evaluated in a home environment with some different types of simple activities.

Full textThe analysis of the worst-case execution time (WCET) is necessary in the design of critical real-time systems. To get sound and precise times, the WCET analysis of these systems must be performed on binary code and based on static analysis. Each execution path of the analyzed program is split into code snippets, called basic blocs. A pipeline analysis consists in modeling the execution of basic blocks on the pipeline and evaluating the impact of the hardware features on the corresponding execution costs. This thesis focuses on the pipeline analysis for WCET computation. The pipeline analysis considers the instruction set architecture and the hardware features of the processor. Then, a high level specification of the software and hardware architecture is needed. We consider Architecture Description Languages (ADL) for processors description. The ADLs, like Sim-nML, HARMLESS, LISA, are used for the generation of retargetable tools, such as simulators, assemblers, in verification, etc. OTAWA is a framework dedicated to the WCET computation that is able to integrate different kind of methods of computation. The instruction set architecture (the ISA level) is expressed in the Sim-nML language. Our work consists in extending the OTAWA framework with an ADL-based approach for pipeline analysis. The aim of our work has been to enhance the expressivity of OTAWA with regard to the processor description language. In order to do so, we first extend the Sim-nML language, to support both the instruction set description and the hardware description. The extended Sim-nML supports the description of hardware components features and superpose the resource usage model of the instructions, that we call execution model, to the initial description. This document also presents a new method to compute a basic bloc execution time. The proposed method is based on constraint programming (Constraint Satisfaction Problem-CSP). We integrated this method in an automated approach, based on the Sim-nML specification of the target processor and based on the instruction sequence to analyse (the basic bloc). We use constraints to express the structural and the temporal properties of the architecture and the instructions, which resolution provides the time cost of basic blocs of a program. Our method uses well known constraint specification languages and resolution tools. The experimentations provide more accurate times. During this thesis, we have been concerned with the formalization of the architecture specification and the results validation. We propose a logic based description of the static and dynamic properties of the architecture and of the basic bloc instructions, presented as a set of high-level constraints. The goal is to provide a reusable library in which the architectuser can find a set of reusable quantitative properties, that assist him in the formalization of the architecture specification. A validation and animation tool was developed based on timed automata. We validate time results provided by the constraints solvers. We generate animated views that assist the architect to validate general dynamic properties and replay the instructions execution

Um sistema embarcado pode ter todos os seus componentes eletrônicos implementados em um único circuito integrado, dando origem ao assim chamado System-on-a-Chip (SoC). Um SoC é composto de uma ou mais CPUs e por componentes não programáveis, tais como memória(s), barramento(s) e periférico(s). A CPU escolhida pode ser um processador dedicado, denominado Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processor (ASIP). O projeto de SoCs requer ferramentas para a inspeção de código, a fim de se explorar a corretude do software embarcado a ser executado em cada CPU. Isto pode ser feito através da geração automática de ferramentas a partir de um modelo formal de CPU, cujas características podem ser descritas através do uso de Linguagens de Descrição de Arquiteturas (Architecture Description Language - ADLs). Como o redirecionamento manual das ferramentas para cada CPU explorada seria inviável devido à pressão do time-to-market, o redirecionamento automático é mandatório. Esta dissertação contribui com a expansão do módulo de geração de ferramentas de manipulação de código binário associado à ADL ArchC, através da geração automática de desmontadores e depuradores de código. As ferramentas de desmontagem e depuração de código foram validadas por meio de comparação com ferramentas nativas congêneres para modelos de arquiteturas RISC e CISC (i8051, MIPS, SPARC e PowerPC). Para fins de experimentação, foram usados os benchmarks MiBench e Dalton, evidenciando a corretude e a robustez das ferramentas. Além disso, mostra-se a integração do gerador de desmontadores no âmbito de um tradutor binário, proposto como resultado de trabalho cooperativo (também reportado em outras duas dissertações correlatas).

Full textSoftware Architectures is an area that started to develop in the beginning of the 1990's. Through Software Architectures, software engineering developers have new improved opportunities for reusing, understanding, communication, analysis etc. To describe Software Architectures, Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) were proposed in the middle of the 1990's. There is not yet any common well-accepted definition of what an ADL really is. There are two tracks however; the first consider that an ADL's primary role is to provide formal syntax and a lower level of semantics; the second approach means that communication and understanding is the most important part for an ADL to play.
Because of the lack of a common definition, numerous ADLs have been developed, each with their own strengths and weaknesses and all reflecting their developers' view on what an ADL is. The problem with these ADLs is that they work in a standalone fashion and can not use the facilities of the other ADLs. ACME has been developed to solve this problem. ACME is an Architecture Description Interchange Language, which means that it can serve as a bridge between different ADLs, i.e. that one ADL can use the features of another ADL.
There are some software engineering researchers that consider ACME not to be an ADL, since ACME is the least common denominator of the present ADLs and is according to the researchers therefore not an ADL in itself. Therefore, in this report we will first compare ACME with other ADLs, and then present what features ACME needs to add to its environment to become an ADL.

A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) é uma síndrome cardiovascular com impacto na saúde pública, leva a redução da capacidade funcional, limitando a execução de atividades de vida diária e de exercícios físicos. Considerada de grande importância, a capacidade funcional pode ser avaliada por uma variedade de instrumentos, tais como questionários e testes de campo, sendo o Teste de exercício cardiopulmonar considerado o padrão ouro. O Glittre ADL-Test, é um teste funcional submáximo que busca representar as atividades do cotidiano, uma vez que envolve um conjunto de tarefas comuns na vida diária. Esta dissertação está estruturada sob a forma de dois artigos originais. O primeiro artigo teve como objetivo avaliar e estabelecer um valor de diagnóstico para o Glittre ADL-Test em indivíduos adultos com Insuficiência Cardíaca, quando comparado ao padrão ouro. Foi realizado análise de acurácia do tempo de realização do Glittre ADL-Test em comparação com o VO2pico dado pelo TECP, utilizando o ponto de corte para o VO2pico de 16 ml/Kg/min a partir da classificação de Weber. O melhor ponto de corte encontrado foi de 258 segundos, com sensibilidade de 88,89% (IC 95%, 65,29-98,62) e especificidade de 70% (IC 95%, 45,72-88,11), com área sob a curva de 0,80 (IC 95% 0,66-0,94 e p 0,001). A prevalência encontrada no estudo para baixa capacidade funcional (VO2pico < 16 ml/Kg/min-1) foi de 47,3%, e para um TTotal maior que 258 segundos encontramos VPP de 72,73% (IC 95%, 49,78-89,2) e VPN de 87,50% (IC 95%, 61,65-98,4). A RV positiva para o ponto de corte de 258 segundos foi de 2,96 (IC 95% 1,49-5,90), e a RV negativa foi de 0,16 (IC 95% 0,04-0,60), resultando em um pós-teste positivo de 73% e negativo de 12%. O segundo artigo teve como objetivo investigar se o tempo necessário para realização do Glittre ADL-Test varia de acordo com a classificação de Weber para o VO2 pico, e sua correlação com a força muscular respiratória, função pulmonar e mobilidade diafragmática. O tempo médio de realização do Glittre ADLTest foi de 286,5 segundos, houve diferença significativa entre as classes A (254,1 segundos) e C (324 segundos) de Weber (p<0,05). O Glittre ADL-Test mostrou correlações significativas com a PImáx (r=-0,445 – p<0,01), com a PEmáx (r=-0,531 – p<0,01) e com a mobilidade diafragmática (r=-0,361 – p<0,05). Vinte e oito pacientes realizaram um segundo teste, na análise de reprodutibilidade, o ICC encontrado foi de 0,76 (IC 95% 0,17-0,91) e p<0,01. Conclusão: Os valores de sensibilidade, especificidade, VPP e VPN, mostraram que o Glittre ADL-Test é acurado na avaliação da capacidade funcional de pacientes com IC. É útil e pode ser usado na prática clínica, pois também se mostrou capaz de refletir a performance funcional destes indivíduos e apresentou correlação com a força muscular respiratória e mobilidade diafragmática.
Heart failure (HF) is a cardiovascular syndrome with enormous impact on public health, leading to reduced functional capacity in terms of both physical limitations to activities of daily living as well as the implementation of physical exercises. Considered of great importance, functional capacity can be assessed by a variety of instruments such as questionnaires and field tests, and cardiopulmonary exercise test considered the gold standard. The Glittre ADL-Test is a submaximal functional test that seeks to represent the daily activities, since it involves a set of common tasks in everyday life. This paper is structured in the form of two original articles. The first article was to evaluate and establish a diagnostic value for the Glittre ADL-Test in adults with heart failure when compared to the gold standard was carried out accuracy analysis of the Glittre ADLTest performance time compared to the data peak VO2 CPX by using the cutoff point for the peak VO2 of 16 ml/kg/min from the Weber classification. The best cutoff point was of 258 second, with a sensitivity of 88.89% (95% CI 65.29 to 98.62) and a specificity of 70% (95% CI 45.72 to 88.11) with an area under the curve of 0.80 (95% CI 0.66 to 0.94 and p 0.001). The prevalence found in the study to low functional capacity (peak VO2 <16 ml / kg / min) was 47.3%, and for TTotal greater than 258 seconds found PPV of 72.73% (95% CI, 49, 78 to 89.2) and VPN 87.50% (95% CI, 61.65 to 98.4). The positive LR to the cutoff point of 258 seconds, it was 2.96 (95% CI 1.49 to 5.90) and the negative LR was 0.16 (95% CI 0.04 to 0.60) resulting in a positive post-test of 73% and negative 12%. The second study aimed to investigate whether the time required to perform the Glittre ADL-Test varies according to Weber's rating for the peak VO2, and its correlation with respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function and diaphragmatic mobility. The mean duration of the Glittre ADL-Test was 286.5 seconds there was a significant difference between the classes (254.1 seconds) and C (324 seconds) Weber (p <0.05). The Glittre ADL-Test showed significant correlations with MIP (r=-0.445 - p <0.01), with the MEP (r = -0.531 - p <0.01) and diaphragmatic mobility (r=-0.361 - p <0.05). Twenty-eight patients underwent a second test, the reproducibility of analysis, the ICC found was 0.76 (95% CI 0.17 to 0.91) and p <0.01. Conclusion: The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV, showed that the Glittre ADLTest is accurate in assessing the functional capacity of patients with HF. It is useful and can be used in clinical practice, he was also able to reflect the functional performance of these individuals and correlated with respiratory muscle strength and diaphragmatic mobility.

Full textTitle: The importance of language for the quality in care and rehabilitation actions a validity testing of the terminology in ADL tool Rainbow Summary INTRODUCTION Healthcare planning require an unambiguous and varied language to identify patient´s ability and effort needs regarding activities of daily living (ADL). The study's starting point is KASAM, the human need for coherence, comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness in their daily lives. AIM To highlight and validate ADL terminology of medical care and rehabilitation. METHODOLOGY The thesis is a combined, descriptive study with a deductive approach. ADL Rainbow tool was used as a template. The material was collected through questionnaires and focus group interviews. Care managers and occupational therapists were interviewed. The study also describes how a group of seniors, without relation to or experience of care or care planning, interpreted the terminology and synonyms. The interviews covered the following themes: ADL terminology, synonyms, views and categorization based on a hierarchical order. RESULTS Current terminology and approach could mean that the patients and their relatives could feel insecure regarding the team's planned interventions. The study results show that the medical team and patients can share and use a common language. CONCLUSION Language is the key to understanding the context. KASAM as a guiding-star in language, creates a value base for what has been agreed and ensures quality assures patient´s care and rehabilitation efforts. Keywords: ADL terminology, validation, team, language, perceptions, deductive approach.

Full textBackground: Hip fracture among elderly is a common reason for patient admission to orthopedic wards. Being treated in a hospital as an elderly patient is associated with adverse health effects, as it affects their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). ADL is fundamental for patients to manage at home without support from caregivers. During hospitalization this ability needs to be assessed in order to create the right nursing measures to maintain the patients ADL, as well as strive for these activities to be performed independently. Aim: Identify which measures can promote elderly patients to maintain ADL after undergoing hip surgery. Method: A general literature study was used to answer the purpose. Results: The results are comprised of four themes: "Early mobilization", "Person-centered rehabilitation", "Support for optimizing nutrient intake” and “The usage of measuring instruments”. To examine ADL, several measurement scales were used that provided information about the patient's starting point and the effect of rehabilitation. Patients who were mobilized early after surgery had a reduced risk of complications and thus the patient had a greater opportunity to regain their personal ADL ability. Well-trained staff provided person-centered care and clear information, which meant that the rehabilitation plan is followed. Additional information about the patient's nutritional intake needed to be obtained in order to optimize rehabilitation, as the patients suffered from insufficient nutritional supply. Conclusion: To help the patient to maintain ADL during the care period, continuous person-centered information from the care staff is needed, when the staff is well trained, there is a better opportunity for patient involvement. This can encourage the nursing measures to be performed and followed by the patient. Nutritional intake needs to be identified and observed in order for the patient to get enough nutrition and get the most out of the rehabilitation.

Full textA avaliação da capacidade funcional de indivíduos com doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) pode ser realizada por testes máximos, submáximos, escalas ou questionários. No entanto, esses testes enfocam, frequentemente, a atividade relacionada a membros inferiores, dificultando uma avaliação mais global do paciente. O Glittre ADL test pode representar uma forma objetiva e global de avaliação de pacientes com DCV, baseado no modelo da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF). O teste reproduz atividades cotidianas, que envolvem membros superiores e inferiores, como sentar e levantar de uma cadeira, subir e descer degraus e carregar peso. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar se o Glittre ADL test é capaz de diferenciar classes funcionais na avaliação de indivíduos com DCV. Foram avaliados 42 indivíduos por meio dos testes Glittre ADL test, Shuttle Walking test (SWT), Perfil de Atividade Humana (PAH) e Duke Activity Status Index (DASI). Para análise estatística, os dados do SWT, PAH e DASI foram divididos em tercis. O tempo de execução do Glittre ADL test foi comparado com as diferentes faixas dos tercis do SWT, PAH e DASI pela análise de variância (ANOVA one way) com post-hoc Least Significant Difference (LSD). Para significância estatística foi considerado um alfa de 5%. Foi utilizado o programa SPSS, versão 15.0. A média de idade foi 62,21 ± 12,07 anos e do índice de massa corporal 26,88 ± 3,68 kg/m2. Os tercis do SWT foram divididos nas seguintes faixas: indivíduos que caminharam menos que 303,33 metros(m), entre 303,33 e 440m e acima ou igual a 440m. Para o PAH, os indivíduos que pontuaram menos que 64 se enquadraram no primeiro tercil, entre 64 e 70 no segundo e igual ou acima de 70, no terceiro. Para o DASI, indivíduos que obtiveram menos que 32, entre 32 e 40 e acima ou igual a 40. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa no tempo de execução do Glittre ADL test entre os tercis do SWT (p=0,0001). O tercil 1 foi diferente do 2 (p=0,004) e 3 (p=0,0001). Para o DASI, houve diferença entre os grupos (p=0,008). O tercil 1 foi diferente do 2 (p=0,02) e 3 (p=0,003). Para o PAH, houve diferença entre os grupos (p=0,002). O tercil 3 foi diferente do 1 (p=0,001) e 2 (p=0,018). Na amostra estudada, foi demonstrado que o Glittre ADL test é capaz de diferenciar classes funcionais de indivíduos com DCV, especialmente em relação aos indivíduos mais acometidos funcionalmente.

Full textThis Doctoral Thesis aim to investigate the application of text mining for the construction of a terminology that meets the procedures laid down for standardization, national and international, regarding the establishment of an Electronic Health Record (RES). International standards studied in this work were ISO 13606-1 and ISO TS 17117. The ISO 13606-1 international standard specifies the reference models for the construction of archetypes, which is the basis of the RES structure. The technical specification ISO 17117 provides the formatting of controlled terminology for the scope of health informatics. Locally, the paper analyzed the technical ABNT / ISO TR 20514 report, which gives the definition, scope and context for the RES and technical ABNT / ISO TR 12309 report aimed at ensuring the development of standardized terminology for the health sector. Several scientific studies have shown that for the construction of RES based on archetypes, researchers use market terminology such as SNOMED CT and SNOMED RT. In Brazil, there is no terminology officially developed regionally or translated into Portuguese-Brazilian who support the creation of reference models. This situation impedes the deployment of national and international standards of standardization mentioned above. In this environment, the thesis presented here built an ontology in the field of specialty of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging based on the application of text mining methods to make efficient and effective terminology that meets the demonstrated shortcomings. The application of text mining method was performed on a sample of 2,566,358 of subject-report, consisting of subject-reports of examinations MRI, X-ray, CT and ultrasound of human anatomical regions. Based on this extraction was built an ontology containing 5,859 individuals terms, axioms 20,994 and 15,084 logical axioms. This ontology was developed using Protégé OWL language software. From the formalization of the ontology (terminology) were built Archetype Definition Language (ADL) for INSTRUCTION component for imaging examination, and ADL for COMPOSITION component of CT cervical spine, MRI Cervical and Thoracic and MRI Carotid. The study showed the applicability of text mining to generate terminology that supported the creation of ADL as recommended by rules in the IT sector in health.

Full textBackground: It is important to assess activities of daily living (ADL) in older adults, and there is no availability of an objective and standardized protocol to assess this outcome. Aims: To verify the reproducibility of a new protocol, the Londrina ADL Protocol (LAP), and to investigate its validity in physically independent adults aged 50 and older; to establish an equation to predict reference values of the LAP for this population. Methods: Ninety three physically independent adults aged 50 and older had their capacity to perform ADL evaluated by registering the time spent to conclude the LAP (a protocol composed by five different activities that simulate ADL which involve upper and lower limbs carried out on a circuit). The protocol was performed twice, in order to verify its reproducibility. The six-minute walk test (6MWT), that assesses functional exercise capacity, was used as a validation criterion. A model of multiple linear regression was applied, including anthropometric and demographic variables (gender, age, weight, heigh) that correlated with the LAP, to establish an equation to predict the reference values of the protocol. Other assessments: pulmonary function (spirometry), number of spets (pedometer), functional physical capacity (30-second chair stand test, 6-minute pegboard and ring test, timed up and go, and one-leg balance test), independence in daily life and mental status. Results: In general, the LAP was reproducible (ICC: 0.91). The difference between the first and second LAP was 5.3%. The LAP was valid to assess ADL in the studied subjects, presenting a moderate correlation with the 6MWT (r=-0.46). The time spent to perform the LAP correlated with age (r=0.45), but neither with weight (r=-0.17) nor with height (r=-0.17). A model of stepwise multiple regression including gender and age showed that age was the only determinant factor to the LAP, explaining 21% (P<0.0001) of its variability. The derived reference equation was: LAPpred(sec)=135.618+(3.102*age [years]). Conclusion: In general, the LAP was reproducible and valid in physically independent adults aged 50 and older. A reference equation for the LAP was established, including as independent variable only age (r2=0.21), allowing a better interpretation of the results when the protocol will be used in the clinical practice.

Full textBACKGROUND: In order to avoid symptoms as dyspnea and fatigue, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are hindered in the performance of physical activities. This leads to a vicious cycle of inactivity, deconditioning and dyspnea, which negatively affects even simple tasks such as activities of daily living (ADLs). A comprehensive, accurate and in-depth ADLs assessment may provide useful information about the subject's condition. OBJECTIVES: Analyze the cardiovascular, ventilator, and metabolic responses of patients with (COPD) during the accomplishment of the Londrina ADL Protocol (LAP) and compare them to the responses of the controls paired for age and gender (healthy elderly being the control); determining which LAP activity demands higher energy expenditure in patients with COPD. METHODS: A transversal study in which 24 individuals with COPD (13M/11F; 67±6 years) and 20 in the control group (10M/10F; 66±7 years) were evaluated regarding pulmonary function, functional capacity for exercise, and LAP performance. Additionally, physical activity monitors checked energy expenditure and intensity of movement during the LAP. RESULTS: The COPD group, compared to the control group, took more time to finish the protocol (410±65 vs 292±43s; P<0.0001), presented a higher energy expenditure (24[18-29] cal vs 18[13-19]cal; P=0.0007), a lower intensity of active movement (0.1408±0.0409G vs 0.1706±0.0443G; P=0.02), and a larger degree of difficulty in the LAP(3[0-5] vs 0[0-0]; P=0.002). The energy expenditure in the activities was: 8[5-9]cal (arrange objects in the table); 12[8-14]cal (walk carrying bags); 8[7-9]cal (arrange shelf); 7[5-8]cal (hanging clothes in the clothesline), and 11[8-12]cal (walking) (ANOVA P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Individuals with COPD, compared to the control group, take more time to accomplish the LAP, besides accomplishing it under a higher metabolic demand, with more symptoms, and a higher degree of difficulty. The activity with the highest energy expenditure was to walk carrying bags.

Full textBakgrund: Reumatoid artrit (RA) är en av de stora folksjukdomarna runt om i världen. Personer med RA har betydande svårigheter med aktiviteter i det dagliga livet (ADL). Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa hur personer med RA upplever att deras ADL påverkas på grund av sjukdomen. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie och utgick från tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Analysen av de vetenskapliga artiklarna resulterade i fem kategorier vilka var begränsningar i vardagen, förlust av kontroll, ovisshet inför framtiden, otillräcklighet inför andra samt saknad efter ett tidigare aktivt liv. RA hade en stor negativ inverkan på personernas ADL och att inte kunna utföra denna på egen hand påverkade deras känslor och sociala liv. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor bör ha kunskap om RA samt de begränsningar och upplevelser som sjukdomen medför för att kunna ge den hjälp och det stöd som personerna med RA är i behov av.

Full textI Sverige beräknas att cirka 400 000-700 000 människor har drabbats av diagnosen
Kroniskt Obstruktiv Lungsjukdom (KOL). År 2020 beräknas KOL orsaka vart tredje
dödsfall i världen. Syftet: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva vad det innebär
att leva med KOL i det dagliga livet, med fokus på social och fysisk aktivitet. Metod:
Studien baserades på vetenskapliga artiklar, funna i databasen PubMed. Efter
värdering kvarstod fem kvantitativa och sju kvalitativa. Texterna analyserades med
innehållsanalys och resulterade i tre kategorier och åtta underkategorier. Resultat:
Trötthet och andnöd var något som individer med KOL upplevde dagligen. Det
påverkade deras vardag så att de inte orkade med vardagssysslor eller att umgås med
familj och vänner. Detta gjorde att individerna kände sig beroende av andra för att
klara sin vardag men även upplevelse av att vara bunden till hemmet. Diskussion: Det
fanns likheter med andra kroniska sjukdomar vad gäller att trötthet och andnöd
påverkade förmågan till fysisk och social aktivitet. Familj och vänner hade en stor
delaktighet i individernas tillvaro, detta genom att vara närvarande och ge stöd till den
drabbade. Som sjuksköterska är det viktigt att lyssna, både på individen men KOL
men och på dess anhöriga.

Full textSittandet och vila har betydelse för äldre rullstolsburna personers möjlighet att vara delaktiga i de dagliga aktiviteterna. Arbetsterapeutens roll är bl.a. att främja aktivitetsutförandet för rullstolsanvändaren och sittandet är en viktig förutsättning för detta. Arbetsterapeuten på ett särskilt boende har oftast stora arbetsområden, och har inte möjlighet att vara med de boende dagligen. Det är omvårdnadspersonalen som stödjer de boende i vardagen. Omvårdnadspersonalens perspektiv på betydelsen av sittande och vila påverkar den rullstolsburne personens möjlighet att få vara delaktig i utförandet av dagliga aktiviteter.
Studiens syfte var att belysa hur omvårdnadspersonalen, på särskilt boende, beskriver sittandets och vilans betydelse för den äldre rullstolsburne personens möjlighet till aktivitet och delaktighet. En kvalitativ intervjustudie gjordes där urvalet var ändamålsenligt. Nio omvårdnadspersonal intervjuades och en kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes. Resultatet redovisades i fyra huvud- och sju underliggande kategorier. Huvudkategorierna belyste: 1. Omvårdnadspersonalens beskrivning av hur de upplever sittandets problematik, och dess lösningar, 2. Omvårdnadspersonalens roll, samt påverkansfaktorer vid aktivitetsutförande i rullstol, 3. Vilans betydelse under dagen och 4. Den egna kunskapen och synen på arbetsterapeuten som kunskapsförmedlare.
Respondenterna beskrev att de upplevde att en bra sittställning i rullstolen samt möjlighet till vila och sträcka ut kroppen under dagen, var viktiga faktorer för den rullstolsburne personens aktivitetsförmåga och välmående. Detta var något som omvårdnadspersonalen diskuterade och eftersträvade dagligen. Respondenterna upplevde dels att de kunde tillfredsställa vilobehovet, dels att de inte kunde det p.g.a. att tidsbrist och inrutade rutiner ibland hindrade detta. Kunskap om vila och sittande var något som respondenterna upplevde att de hade, trots att få utbildningsmöjligheter erbjöds.
