conferenceObject HEALTH PERCEPTION IN PATIENTS WITH FIBROMYALGIA(2023) ANTUNES, Mateus; LOURES, Felipe Rocha; PINHEIRO, Mara; CRUZ, Ariela; JANUARIO, Priscila; SOUZA, Ingred Merllin; MARQUES, Amelia- A web-based educational therapy intervention associated with physical exercise to promote health in fibromyalgia in Brazil: the Amigos De Fibro (Fibro Friends) study protocol(2023) ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; LOURES, Felipe Cayres Nogueira da Rocha; SOUZA, Ingred Merllin Batista de; CRUZ, Ariela Torres; JANUARIO, Priscila de Oliveira; PINHEIRO, Mara Maria Lisboa Santana; SCHMITT, Ana Carolina Basso; FRUTOS-BERNAL, Elisa; MARTIN-NOGUERAS, Ana Maria; MARQUES, Amelia PasqualBackground Health education is one of the main items to enable health promotion to patients with fibromyalgia. The objective of the study ""Amigos de Fibro (Fibro Friends)"" is to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention associated with physical exercise based on the web in promoting health and quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia in Brazil.Methods A study with a randomized controlled trial approach will be carried out. The sample will consist of 24 participants, divided into two groups, with 12 individuals each. The experimental group will participate in meetings with lectures, debates, conversation rounds and exercises by a multidisciplinary team. Physical exercises will also be performed in an online environment. On the other hand, the control group will receive an e-book of education and self-care. Primary outcomes will be quality of life. The secondary outcomes will be sociodemographic and health profile, pain intensity, sleep quality, self-care agency, usage and costs of health and social care services, viability of the program and program participation. In addition, a qualitative evaluation process will be carried out with the participants. After the intervention, the data of both groups will be collected again, as well as after 3, 6, and 12 months to verify the effect and the maintenance of the intervention.Discussion The results will provide data for studies to consider the use of this tool in the future by professionals working in the field of rheumatology.
- Avaliação do agenciamento de autocuidados e sua associação com sintomas e qualidade de vida em indivíduos com fibromialgia(2020) COUTO, Letícia Assis; YUAN, Susan Lee King; SOUZA, Ingred Merllin Batista de; SANTO, Adriana de Sousa do Espírito; MARQUES, Amélia PasqualABSTRACT Fibromyalgia (FM) is a condition of high prevalence, which causes physical discomfort, mental distress and impairment of social relationships. Self-care may be a relevant factor to improve the quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia, since it is related to the act of empowerment, leading individuals to have control over their own life. The aim of this study was to assess self-care agency of individuals with fibromyalgia and check for associations between self-care and symptoms, quality of life and sociodemographic variables. The study included 40 individuals with FM according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria. Self-care was measured with the Appraisal Self-Care Agency Scale-Revised (ASAS-R), pain with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Widespread Pain Index (WPI), severity of symptoms with the Symptom Severity (SS) Scale, and quality of life with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire - Revised (FIQ-R). In data analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used for parametric data, and the Spearman correlation coefficient was used for non-parametric data. The level of significance adopted was 5%. Moderate values were found for self-care agency (52.75±10.25), VAS pain (5.84±2.16), WPI (13.32±3.78) and SS (9.30±1.68). Severe impact on quality of life was found with the FIQR (63.98±17.26). Additionally, significant correlations were observed of self-care agency with social status (r=0.391), and with the following FIQ-R domains: function (r=−0.338), overall impact (r=-0.315), symptoms (r=−0.332) and total score (r=−0.375). The study suggests that individuals with fibromyalgia have a moderate level of self-care agency, and a weak association of self-care with quality of life and social status.
