- Amigos de Fibro (Fibro Friends): Validation of an Educational Program to Promote Health in Fibromyalgia(2022) ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; SCHMITT, Ana Carolina Basso; MARQUES, Amelia PasqualHealth education is one of the main items to enable the promotion of health for individuals with fibromyalgia (FM) in Primary Health Care (PHC) in Brazil. The purpose of this study was to validate a multidisciplinary educational health promotion program called Amigos de Fibro (Fibro Friends) for individuals with FM. Methodological research involving 23 health professionals (expert judges) and 45 individuals with FM (target audience) used an instrument to assess the objectives, proposed themes and initiatives, relevance, writing style, and structure of the program through the Delphi technique. The content validity index (CVI) >= 0.78 and coefficient kappa >= 0.61 were used for data analysis. All 25 items evaluated in both groups presented considerable minimum CVI by CVI and the kappa coefficient. In the global evaluation of Amigos de Fibro, the CVI of the specialist judges was 0.90, while the values of the target audience judges were 0.95. The kappa coefficient of the expert judges was 0.90 and that of the target audience judges was 0.85. Amigos de Fibro, a light technology in health, was considered with adequate content validity and internal consistency and is, therefore, valid in the use by health professionals with the target audience in PHC, making it possible for them to act as health-promoting agents.
- 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.
- Physical activity level and associated factors: an epidemiological study with elderly(2019) OLIVEIRA, Daniel Vicentini de; TRELHA, Celita Salmaso; LIMA, Lilian Leonel de; ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; NASCIMENTO JÚNIOR, José Roberto Andrade do; BERTOLINI, Sônia Maria Marques GomesAbstract Introduction: This study is relevant insofar since it provides information on the elements that interfere in the level of physical activity of the elderly that attend the Fitness zone. Objective: Identifying the level of physical activity and its associated factors related to the elderly who usually go to third age fitness centers in Maringá/PR. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 970 elderly users of the Fitness zone of the municipality of Maringá, state of Paraná, Brazil. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used. The data were analyzed by the Pearson’s Chi-squared, the Binary Logistic Regression and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (p < 0,05). Results: The data indicates that being married (p = 0,047) and having completed higher education (p = 0,001) is significantly associated with higher physical activity level. The lower use of medication (p = 0,008), the excellent health perception (p = 0,037), and no history of near-falls (p = 0,038) were associated with the physical activity practice. The subjects who had no history of near-falls in the last six months and who did not have osteoporosis were 1.671 [95% CI = 1.009-2.613] and 1.891 [95% CI = 1.008-2.915] times more likely to be active/very active when compared to the elderly who had near-falls in the last semester and who had osteoporosis. Conclusion: It was concluded that sociodemographic variables and health conditions are associated to the physical activity level in the elderly. Further, elderly who reported the absence of a history of near falls and osteoporosis have more chance to be physically active.
- Amigos de Fibro (Fibro Friends): validation of an e-book to promote health in fibromyalgia(2023) ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; SCHMITT, Ana Carolina Basso; MARQUES, Amelia PasqualBackground:Educational strategies are necessary for the care of patients with fibromyalgia. The objective was to develop and validate an e-book to promote the health of individuals with fibromyalgia. Methods:Methodological research in which, initially, through a bibliographic survey, the available publications on the subject were analyzed. Then, this knowledge was used to build the theoretical content addressed, and the art and layout of the e-book were elaborated. In the third phase, validation of the constructed material, content specialists (n = 23), technicians (n = 23) and design specialists (n = 23), and individuals with fibromyalgia (n = 45) evaluated the e-book through the Delphi technique. For data collection, different questionnaires were used, according to the evaluation focus of each participant group, analyzed for reliability using Cronbach's Alpha (& alpha;C) and agreement using the Content Validity Index (CVI). Results:In the global assessment of agreement from all groups of judges, the CVI presented a considerable minimum: content (0.79), technical (0.89), design (0.92), and target audience (0.97). Regarding reliability, all groups also had a & alpha;C within the acceptable range: content (0.960), technical (0.963), design (0.977), and target audience (1.08). Conclusions:The e-book was developed and validated in terms of content and relevance and can be used to promote the health of individuals with fibromyalgia.

- Effects of electroacupuncture frequencies on chronic low back pain in older adults: triple-blind, 12-months protocol for a randomized controlled trial(2019) TORRES, Sarina Francescato; MACEDO, Ana Carolina Brandt de; ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; SOUZA, Ingred Merllin Batista de; SANTOS, Francisco Dimitre Rodrigo Pereira; SANTO, Adriana de Sousa Espirito; JACOB, Flavia Ribeiro; CRUZ, Ariela Torres; JANUARIO, Priscila de Oliveira; MARQUES, Amelia PasqualBackground: Low back pain (LBP) is the most frequent complaint in clinical practice. Electroacupuncture treatment may be effective; however, the supporting evidence is still limited, especially in older adults. Objective: The current study is a randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture in older adults with LBP. Methods: A five-arm randomized controlled trial with patients and evaluators blinded to the group allocation. A total of 125 participants with non-specific LBP will be randomly assigned into one of five groups: three electroacupuncture groups (low, high, and alternating frequency); one control group; and one placebo group. The electroacupuncture will be applied twice a week (30 min per session) for five weeks. The primary clinical outcome measure will be pain intensity. The secondary outcomes include: quality of pain; physical functioning; perceived overall effect; emotional functionality; patient satisfaction; and psychosocial factors. Patients will be evaluated before the first session, immediately after the last, and followed up after six and 12 months to check the medium- and long-term effects. Discussion: Although electroacupuncture is increasingly used to treat LBP, there is no guidance regarding the parameters used, which leads to inconsistent results. Thus, the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on LBP remains controversial and requires more studies, especially in the older adult population. Conclusion: This is the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of different frequencies of electroacupuncture for treating chronic LBP in older adults. This study will provide evidence on the effectiveness of electroacupuncture as an alternative treatment method for LBP and will entail wider debate about an appropriate acupuncture intervention in this population.
- Sintomas depressivos em idosos da atenção básica à saúde de um município do noroeste paranaense – estudo transversal(2022) OLIVEIRA, Daniel Vicentini de; SILVA, Diogo Alves da; ANDRADE, Walquiria Batista de; BATISTA, Roseana Pacheco Reis; ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; NASCIMENTO JÚNIOR, José Roberto Andrade doAbstract Background the complex interaction between social, psychological and biological factors, which result in depression, may accelerate the decrease in functional capacity and, consequently, the quality of life of the older adults. Objective This research aimed to investigate the factors associated with suggestive symptoms of depression in older adults of primary health care in a municipality in northwest Paraná. Method Epidemiological, cross-sectional and population-based study was carried out in 12 basic health units, with 654 older adult men and women. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), short version, as well an instrument to characterize the participants sociodemographic profile. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and Poisson regression (p <0.05). Results Results showed that there seems to be an association of the older adult with good health perception (p = 0.001), when they did not take medication (p = 0.001), have not suffered falls in the last six months (p = 0.011) and have not presented comorbidities (p = 0.001) in the absence of depressive symptoms. Older adult with self-perceived regular health (PR = 1.733; 95% CI = 1280-2.347) and poor health (PR = 2.222; 95% CI = 1.525-3.237) showed a higher prevalence ratio for the presence of depression. Conclusion Older adult with worse self-perceived health showed a higher prevalence ratio of presenting suggestive symptoms of depression.
- Effectiveness of interdisciplinary health education programs for individuals with fibromyalgia: A systematic review(2021) ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; COUTO, Leticia Assis; BERTOLINI, Sonia Maria Marques Gomes; LOURES, Felipe Cayres Nogueira da Rocha; SCHMITT, Ana Carolina Basso; MARQUES, Amelia PasqualFibromyalgia has been increasing worldwide and is considered a public health problem. Nonpharmacological treatment through exercise and education is recommended for fibromyalgia management. In this sense, there is a need for interdisciplinary programs to promote health and improve symptoms in fibromyalgia. The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of interdisciplinary health education programs for individuals with fibromyalgia. This is a systematic review that followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations and was registered at Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD4201913228). A search was conducted in the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online, Lilacs, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Scopus, Web of Knowledge ISI, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Excerpta Medica Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, and SPORTDiscus. The descriptors used were ""Fibromyalgia"" and ""Health Education."" Clinical trials published between 1990 and 2019 were selected. The Jadad Quality Scale and the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool were used to evaluate the risk of bias and the methodological quality of the clinical trials. The search found 2887 articles, and only two studies were included in the analysis. Both studies conducted the interventions through lectures and group activities. In particular, the topics most frequently approached at the interdisciplinary health education programs were general information about fibromyalgia, body practices, physical activities, and pharmacological approaches. An interdisciplinary health education program can improve pain and quality of life in people with fibromyalgia; however, evidence shows low methodological quality. This systematic review indicates that studies are of low quality, interfering with the effectiveness of interdisciplinary health education programs.
conferenceObject PREVALENCE OF KINESIOPHOBIA IN ELDERLY BRAZILIANS WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN: PRELIMINARY STUDY(2023) CRUZ, Ariela Torres; JANUARIO, Priscila de Oliveira; BAPTISTA, Isabela Coelho; RODRIGUES, Amanda da Rocha; OLIVEIRA, Gabriela Bezerra; PALMEIRA, Isabelly da Silva; COUTO, Gabrielle Silva Barbosa do; ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; MARQUES, Amelia Pasqual- The role of physiotherapy in fibromyalgia: Current and future perspectives(2022) ANTUNES, Mateus Dias; MARQUES, Amelia PasqualFibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia, commonly associated with other symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep quality, anxiety and depression. The clinical manifestations of this rheumatic disease have significant psychosocial and economic repercussions, with a substantial impact on health status, quality of life and social activities. Currently, recommendations for the management of fibromyalgia include patient education and non-pharmacological interventions, and among the indicated treatments, clinical guidelines include several physiotherapeutic resources, essential for individuals affected by this syndrome. Research in the physiotherapy field has demonstrated its effectiveness, but there is a need to update the literature. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the treatment of individuals with fibromyalgia. We performed a literature review looking for articles dated from March 2012 to March 2022 using the terms ""fibromyalgia "", ""physiotherapy "", ""physical therapy "", ""rehabilitation "" in different languages in various databases and their main information was read and collected and presented in a descriptive way. The effects of physiotherapy interventions are summarized in order to provide a reference for future research and clinical application. Research on non-pharmacological physiotherapy-oriented treatments has grown in recent years as an alternative for fibromyalgia treatment. This review allows fibromyalgia patients to receive appropriate physical therapy interventions to promote their health.
