Características del dolor, estrategias de afrontamiento y su relación con la calidad de vida en pacientes con enfermedad crónica de color
Get PDF OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship among pain characteristics, coping strategies, and the perception of quality of life in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Osteoarthritis (OA) and Fibromyalgia (FM) through a descriptive correlational method. METHOD: 99 participants from a rheumatic diseases clinic in Bogota (Colombia) were surveyed. Variables were measured with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ), and the Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Scale (RAQoL). RESULTS: The perception of quality of life was lower when patients reported higher intensity in the perception of pain and a higher score in the affective, sensorial, and evaluative domains of pain. Coping strategies varied among patients with RA, OA, and FM; however, catastrophic thinking is the cognitive strategy mostly used among the three pathologies. CONCLUSION: Intervention programs that help patients change or improve their coping strategies to reduce the intensity of pain and how it is valued are needed in order to produce a positive impact in the quality of life.OBJETIVO: determinar la relación existente entre las características del dolor, las estrategias de afrontamiento y la percepción de calidad de vida en pacientes con Artritis Reumatoide (AR), Osteoartritis (OS) y Fibromialgia (FM) a través de un análisis descriptivo-correlacional. MÉTODO: fueron encuestados 99 participantes de un centro médico de Bogotá (Colombia) especializado en el manejo de enfermedades reumáticas. Los instrumentos utilizados para medir las variables fueron la Escala Visual Análoga (EVA), el Cuestionario de Dolor de McGill (MPQ - versión larga), el Cuestionario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento (CSQ) y el Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida para pacientes con Artritis Reumatoide (RAQoL). RESULTADOS: cuando los pacientes reportan una mayor intensidad en la percepción del dolor y mayor puntaje en las áreas afectivas, sensorial y evaluativa del dolor, fue menor la percepción de la calidad de vida. De acuerdo con las estrategias de afrontamiento más utilizadas por los pacientes, éstas variaron entre los pacientes con AR, OS o FM. Sin embargo, los pensamientos catastróficos fue la estrategia cognitiva de mayor uso entre las tres patologías. CONCLUSIÓN: se vislumbra la necesidad de diseñar programas de intervención que ayuden a los pacientes en cambiar o mejorar sus estrategias de afrontamiento, buscando una reducción en la intensidad y valoración del dolor, así como también un impacto positivo en la calidad de vida
An alternative proof of a Tauberian theorem for Abel summability method
No full textUsing a corollary to Karamata’s main theorem [Math. Z. 32 (1930), 319-320], we prove that ifa slowly decreasing sequence of real numbers is Abel summable, then it is convergent in the ordinary sense
Vertex equitable labeling of union of cyclic snake related graphs
No full textLet G be a graph with p vértices and q edges and A = {0,1, 2,..., [q/2]}. A vertex labeling f : V(G) → A induces an edge labeling f * defined by f *(uv) = f (u) + f (v) for all edges uv. For a ∈ A, let vf (a) be the number of vertices v with f (v) = a. A graph G is said to be vertex equitable if there exists a vertex labeling f such that for all a and b in A, |vf(a) — vfb)| ≤ 1 and the induced edge labels are 1, 2, 3,...,q. In this paper, we prove that key graph KY(m, n), P(2.QSn), P(m.QSn), C(n.QSm), NQ(m) and K1,n X P2 are vertex equitable graphs
Approximate Drygas mappings on a set of measure zero
No full textLet R be the set of real numbers, Y be a Banach space and f : R →Y. We prove the Hyers-Ulam stability for the Drygas functional equationf (x + y) + f (x - y) = 2f (x) + f (y) + f (-y) for all (x, y) ∈ Ω, where Ω⊂ R2 is of Lebesgue measure 0
Equi independent equitable dominating sets in graphs
No full textWe introduce the concept of an equi independent equitable dominating set and define equi independent equitable domination number. We also investigate the graph families whose equi independent equitable domination number and equitable domination number are same
Sum divisor cordial graphs
No full textA sum divisor cordial labeling of a graph G with vertex set V is a bijection f from V (G) to {1, 2, ..., |V (G)|} such that an edge uv is assigned the label 1 if 2 divides f (u) + f (v) and 0 otherwise, then the number of edges labeled with 0 and the number of edges labeled with 1 differ by at most 1. A graph with a sum divisor cordial labeling is called a sum divisor cordial graph. In this paper, we prove that path, comb, star, complete bipartite, K2+ mK1, bistar, jewel, crown, flower, gear, subdivision of the star, K1,3* K1,n and square graph of Bn,n are sum divisor cordial graphs
Classes de (≤3,ω,ω*,Ω,Ω∗)-hypomorphie infinies
No full textCet articlese veutune suite a [23] puisque apres l'etude des classes de (<3)-hypomorphie aiaquelleest consacree [23] nous allons etudier les classes d'hypomorphie infinies avec des conditions d'hypomorphie infinie. Nous y utiliserons aussi la notion de pavages mais ceux-ci seront différents de ceux de [23] car la problématique n'est plus la meme. Au passage nous decrirons les classes de (<3,4/2)-hypomorphie. Voir la bibliographie pour d'autres (etudes en rapport avec l'hypomorphie infinie ou finieouaveclaproblematique de la reconstruction qui y est liee
On generating functions of biorthogonal polynomials suggested by the Laguerre polynomials
No full textIn this note, we have obtained some novel bilateral generating functions involving Konhauser biorthogonal polynomials, which is converted into trilateral generating functions with Tchebycheff polynomials by group theoretic method. As special cases, we have obtained the corresponding results on generalised Laguerre polynomials. Some applications are also given here
