RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: en Colombia, existe una brecha importante entre la reglamentación relacionada con el reconocimiento de derechos, inclusión y mecanismos para la protección de los niños con discapacidad y la implementación de la norma. En este contexto, el objetivo de este estudio fue explorar las representaciones sociales de la parálisis cerebral en madres de niños con parálisis cerebral. Metodología: se realizó un estudio cualitativo bajo el enfoque estructuralista de las representaciones sociales para caracterizar el contenido y la organización de las representaciones sociales de la parálisis cerebral de madres de niños con parálisis cerebral que consultaron a un centro de neurorrehabilitación en Cali, Colombia entre enero y febrero de 2022. Como técnicas de recolección se utilizaron el listado libre y el cuestionario de pares. Resultados: para las madres la parálisis cerebral es la alteración de movimiento que junto con la dificultad de aprendizaje y comunicación generan gran demanda de atención por parte del cuidador acompañado de sentimientos de resignación ante las secuelas de la lesión en el cerebro y la discriminación social percibida. Conclusiones: las representaciones sociales sobre la parálisis cerebral dejan percibir una visión negativa y poco esperanzadora de recuperación, así como resiliencia por parte de los cuidadores.

Abstract Objective: In Colombia, there is a significant gap between the regulations related to the recognition of rights, inclusion, and mechanisms for the protection of children with disabilities and the implementation of the law. In this context, the aim of this study was to explore the social representations of cerebral palsy in mothers of children with cerebral palsy. Methodology: We collected information from mothers with children with cerebral palsy who consulted a neurorrehabilitation center in Cali, Colombia between January and February 2022 using the free list and the peer questionnaire. Results: For mothers, cerebral palsy is a movement disorder that, together with learning and communication difficulties, generates a great demand for care by the caregiver, accompanied by feelings of resignation in the face of the consequences of the brain injury and perceived social discrimination. Conclusions: The social representations on cerebral palsy reveal a negative and hopeless view of recovery, as well as resilience on the part of caregivers.

Metodologia: Recolha a informação das madres com crianças com paralisia cerebral que consulte um centro de neurorreabilitação em Cali, Colômbia entre enero e febrero de 2022 usando o listado livre e o guia de pares. Resultados: Para as mães a paralisia cerebral é a alteração de movimento que se junta com a dificuldade de aprendizagem e comunicação gera grande demanda de atenção por parte do cuidador acompanhado de sentimentos de resignação antes das seqüelas da lesão no cérebro e na discriminação percepção social. Conclusões: Las representaciones sociales sobre la paralisis cerebral dejan ver una visão negativa y poco esperanzadora de recuperação, así como resiliência de parte de los cuidadores.

RESUMO

QUESTION: Does supervised aerobic exercise during pregnancy reduce depressive symptoms in nulliparous women? DESIGN: Randomised trial with concealed allocation, blinded assessors, and intention-to-treat analysis. PARTICIPANTS: 80 nulliparous, pregnant women attending for prenatal care at one of three tertiary hospitals in Cali, Colombia. INTERVENTION: The experimental group completed a 3-month supervised exercise program, commencing at 16 to 20 weeks of gestation. Each session included walking (10 min), aerobic exercise (30 min), stretching (10 min), and relaxation (10 min). The control group continued usual activities and performed no specific exercise. OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was symptoms of depression assessed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) at baseline and immediately after the 3-month intervention. RESULTS: 74 women completed the study. After the 3-month intervention, the experimental group reduced their depressive symptoms on the CES-D questionnaire by 4 points (95% CI 1 to 7) more than the control group. CONCLUSIONS: A supervised 3-month program of primarily aerobic exercise during pregnancy reduces depressive symptoms. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT00872365.

RESUMO

Estudios recientes de intervención en sujetos sedentarios o con lesiones neurológicas, sugieren que un aumento de laactividad motora (ejercicio/actividad física) realizado a intensidades moderadas y de manera habitual, podría tener efectosbenéficos en la función vascular. Sin embargo, se desconocen los efectos fisiológicos de intervenciones realizadas contécnicas facilitadoras de la actividad motora, como las técnicas de facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva (FNP) de Kabat,sobre la función vascular, aun cuando se proponen dentro de sus postulados tales efectos fisiológicos. Este informe, describela utilidad de la FNP sobre la función vascular, en tres voluntarios saludables. Los patrones de FNP de Kabat, al igual quelos modelos de actividad contráctil isotónica propuestos en esta prueba, incrementan la tensión de roce vascular, la cual serelaciona con una mejor función y distensibilidad vascular.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between disability and health-related quality of life in women with vertigo of peripheral origin. METHODS: Cross-sectional study in 26 women diagnosed with vertigo, classified by type of peripheral vestibular disturbance: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, Ménière's disease, post-trauma and others. In a self-report interview, a 12-item short-form (SF-12) health survey on quality of life was applied; disability was assessed with the questionnaire "Dizziness Handicap Inventory" (DHI). Measures of central tendency, dispersion for the domains and types of vestibular disturbance were used and internal DHI consistency and inter-scale correlation were calculated. RESULTS: Patients in the vestibular neuritis and Ménière groups displayed a higher level of disability according to the DHI functional (29.5+/-5.5 vs. 27.0+/-8.8) and physical domains (23.0+/-4.1 vs. 21.5+/-6.6). Based on the SF-12 domains, greater deterioration in quality of life was perceived in physical (22.9+/-3.9 vs. 22.6+/-4.6) and emotional performance (15.4+/-5.0 vs. 11.3+/-6.0), respectively. Acceptable and significant inverse correlations were found between the physical component summary (PCS-12) of the SF-12 and the physical, emotional and functional aspects of the DHI questionnaire (r=-0.51 to -0.78, p<0.01). Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha index) of the DHI questionnaire was appropriate for the sample. CONCLUSIONS: The DHI and the SF-12 are useful, practical and valid instruments for assessing the impact of dizziness on the quality of life of patients with this symptom.
