To determine the prevalence of domestic violence (physical, psychological or sexual) during pregnancy and to characterise these women. Pregnant women are not immune to domestic violence (DV) and therefore may be subject to any form of physical, psychological or sexual violence by partners. Health professionals' knowledge and awareness is important in the identification and intervention of pregnant women who experience domestic violence. Quantitative, descriptive, correlational study, using a non-probabilistic convenience sample consisting of a total of 852 postpartum women, of whom 370 were experiencing domestic violence according to the criteria adopted through the modified scale of prevalence, applied between February and June 2012 in two Portuguese public health institutions. Authorisation was given by the Ethics Committees/Administration Councils of both institutions involved and the National Committee of Data Protection. The prevalence of DV during pregnancy was 43.4% (phys...

Pregnancy is a period influenced by the interaction of several factors, therefore this study aimed to identify changes in lifestyles due to pregnancy and childbirth in Portuguese and immigrant women in Portugal. This is a qualitative study, using the semi-structured interview, with eighty-two Portuguese and immigrant women. Content analysis was used, with verbatim classification supported by Nvivo 10. It was authorized by an Ethics Commission. Results revealed that the primary changes in lifestyles due to pregnancy were in eating habits (nutrition), daily activity, exposure to danger, sleep and rest patterns, social and family relationships, going out, self-care, work, clothing and footwear, travel, health monitoring and sexual activity and substances consumption. The main change after the birth, manifested by these women, was that their lives began to revolve around their baby.

For university students, time is a limited resource, because in trying to reconcile the academic tasks with extracurricular, eventually they feel that don’t have enough time to do them. They try to find ways to make better use of time and adopt management measures to relieve their preoccupation. In the academic context, the well-being has been valued as a facilitating condition of academic success, as an indicator of adaptation and also as an educational purpose. Besides, the wellbeing appears often associated with mental and physical health. Quantitative study with a sample of 201 nursing students from Health School of Portugal, belonging to 1st and 3rd year of Nursing degree. Data collection through a questionnaire with questions to explore the sociodemographic variables and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS); Scale of the PANAS well-being; Chronic fatigue scale (Barton et al, 1992); Scale of mental health screening - (ER 80) ( Pio Abreu & Vaz Pato, 1981) and Scale Management Academic...

Resumo Pensarmos, comprometermo-nos e agirmos em prol de uma escola melhor é um contributo para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa. Na escola não podemos apenas ensinar, necessitamos de aprender, questionarmos a situação actual, tentarmos melhorá-la e incentivar mudanças construtivas. A infecção VIH/sida, é categorizada como doença crónica, em que há a responsabilidade individual pela sua prevenção e pelos comportamentos que levaram à aquisição da mesma. Com a infecção VIH/sida surge o estigma, a discriminação, o isolamento imposto e o sofrimento apesar da resposta terapêutica, dependendo dos contextos sociais, familiares, culturais em que cada indivíduo está inserido. A infecção VIH/sida não escolhe idade, sexo ou estatuto social, mas é vivenciada por todos embora de formas diferentes. Estes factos levam a que jovens adultos, poderão estar em risco sem se aperceberem ou terem consciência de tal, porque na maioria dos casos ignoram os avisos relativos ao risco. Alguns estudos ...

A inatividade física entreestudantes do ensino superior está associada a diversos fatores, tais como a complexidade e as exigências curriculares (Çiçek, 2018), especialmente em estudantes de enfermagem. Nesta perspetiva o objetivo desta investigação é identificar as variáveis sociodemográficas e académicas que interferem na prática de atividade física e determinar a associação entre a personalidade e a prática de atividade física nos estudantes de enfermagem. Realizou-se uma investigação quantitativa não experimental, em corte transversal, descritiva e correlacional, numaamostra não probabilística por conveniência de 372 estudantes de enfermagem. Aplicou-se um questionário de caracterização sociodemográfica, contexto académico, Questionário Internacional de Avaliação da Atividade Física (IPAQ) e o Inventário de Personalidade de Eysenck. Destacou-se que a amostra é maioritariamente feminina (86,3%) e com idades até aos 20 anos (41,7%). Os homens e os estudantes que frequentam os 2º e...

Adherence of adolescents to health practices in the context of sexuality is relevant, not only from the point of view of physical and psychological well-being, but also the model effect of their knowledge of infections transmitted sexually and their behaviours may have on other adolescents and lifestyles adopted. The need thus emerges to work with this target group with issues related with their knowledge of sexually transmitted infections, debating and reflecting on everyday situations of social life in the context of sexuality.

To characterize sources of information students of higher education turn to for clarification about AIDS. Cross-sectional, non-experimental research, with the features of descriptive, correlational and explanatory studies. The data collection protocol includes personal and academic data and the sources of information about AIDS scale. 2002 students participated, 60.7% girls (X=21.76; years ± 4.43 SD), of the first and last years of higher education in the North and Centre of Portugal. Students rely mainly on reading informational materials for information about AIDS. Approximately 37% have good information on AIDS with young people up to the age of 25 and attending courses in field of health having higher scores. Changes are needed in health education models in the area of HIV/AIDS, since these are not showing a satisfactory level of efficiency. On the other hand, it is important to motivate young people to change their behaviours. Although many young people have knowledge, they do ...

Adolescents go through a phase characterised by physical, mental, psychological and social changes which justify periods of hostile behaviours. The occurrence and intensity of these behaviours may correspond to a psychopathological condition that will affect their future lives. The aim of this research is to identify the socio-demographic and family background variables that influence hostile behaviours in adolescents and to analyse the influence of depression and anxiety in hostile behaviours in adolescents. This is a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study with epidemiological characteristics. The sample consists of 1890 adolescents, 863 (45.7%) boys and 1027 (54.3%) girls whose average age is 16.26 years. The data collection instrument includes the socio-demographic and family background and anxiety, depression and hostile behaviours in adolescence measurement scales: the State-Trait Anxiety Scale, the Depression Scale and the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory. We found that the prevalent group is between 17 and 21 years old (40.3%) 41.4% boys and 39.4% girls; the highest percentage of the adolescents (37.8%) are in the 10th year of schooling; 50.7% live in the city, 70.0% live with their parents; the monthly household income is medium-high (56.7%) for (56.5%) girls; 3.5% of the adolescents exhibit depressive symptoms, mostly girls who are 17 or older; girls have higher levels of anxiety-trait and boys of anxiety-state. We may conclude that only depression has a relationship with hostile behaviours. It is higher in adolescents with these behaviours. The presence or absence of anxiety is not related to the hostile behaviour in adolescents.

Tratase de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo-correlacional e transversal, com uma amostra constituída por 429 estudantes, com uma média de idade de 22.11 anos (dp=4.55). Para recolha de dados, utilizou-se o questionário que permitiu fazer a caracterização sociodemográfica, académica e afetiva.
