Previous issue date: 2015Objective: To evaluate the nutritional condition of children and teens in initial, end and post-obesity stages of treatment conducted by a multiprofessional team. Method: The study population consisted of 26 children and teens from the ages of 8 to 18 registered in a Multidisciplinary Obesity Treatment Program that lasted one year. Data collection was performed at three moments: at the beginning and end of treatment through the anamnesis of the participants; and post treatment when the current anthropometric measures were checked. The collected information was: anthropometric measures (weight, height) and personal details (gender, birth date and phone number). In order to classify the nutritional condition, the BMI/Age from WHO, 2007 growth curve was used. Results: A decrease was noticed in the BMI between the beginning (28,57kg/m2) and end (27,08kg/m2) of the program. However, there was an increase in BMI during the post-treatment, reaching 27,56kg/m2. In the beginning of treatment, 76,9% of the participants were obese, and this percentage decreased to 57,7% in the end. During the post-treatment evaluation, an even smaller frequency in obesity was shown (46,2%), along with an increase in the eutrophia cases (15,4%). However, this change in the nutritional condition occurred due to the height and age gain, and not to the weight loss. Conclusion: A decrease in BMI between the beginning and end of the program was noticed, which suggests a positive outcome that was expected in the treatment. However, the increase in BMI during the post-treatment may also indicate that the end of the program and the lack of monitoring make it hard to continue losing weight.[Rodrigues, Alexandra Magna] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), Dept Enfermagem & Nutr[Rodrigues, Alexandra Magna] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), Programa Posgrad Educ & Desenvolvimento Human

Previous issue date: 2017To identify the social representations of organic food for undergraduate students residents of the countryside. The research was developed with undergraduate students in rural education residents of the countryside. It is a cross-sectional study by exploratory qualitative approach. It was based on the Social Representations Theory. The participants were asked to formulate cartography data and a descriptive text about organic food, in order to identify the social representations about the theme. The social representations were analyzed from the texts, as well as the symbolic systems involved. An inquiry was also applied in order to profile the present group in the sociodemographic matters, the practice of growth and consumption of organic food. Results: Participated in the study 20 residents of the countryside students, which average age was 27 years old (10,28). About 55% (11) of the participants belonged to the male gender and 65% (13) of them were single. As for the farming practices, 80% (16) stated that they had crops in their properties and 85% (17) stated that they had orchards. As for the kind of growth, 93,8% (15) of the crops were organic and 82,4% (14) of the orchards. The main object of the growth wereself consumption. The main social representations about organic food was that it is the one without pesticides, sustainable and healthy. The conceptions about organic food are related to the kind of farming practiced by the subjects, as well as the knowledge exchanged within the community and family members and the media information, but not necessarily to the technical definition stablished by guidelines on the matter.[do Valle, Paula; Rodrigues, Alexandra Magna] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau

Previous issue date: 2015This study aims to identify the perceptions and maternal feeding practices in the first year of life. It is a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Data was collected at a Basic Health Unit in the city of Pindamonhangaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil through semi-structured interviews conducted by a healthcare professional concerning mothers of children aged 0 to 12 months old who are being attended in childcare consultations. The interview was recorded on a digital media and later transcribed to assess the practices, perceptions, opinions and attitudes about infant feeding. 22 mothers participated in the study with na average age of 27.2, the majority having a high school education and monthly family income between one and two minimum wages. The significance of breastfeeding for mothers is guided affection, love and bond with the child, and attitudes about breastfeeding were positive since the group stated the importance of breastfeeding for the health and growth of the child. When questioned the reasons that may cause a woman not to breastfeed, the group stated lack of affection, stress, depression and problems such as breast enlargement and painful cracks in the nipple area. For the period of exclusive breastfeeding, we identified that mothers have information that this act should occur until the sixth month of life. Regarding complementary feeding, foods blended together in a blender is still present in the routine of preparing meals for their children, as well as the belief that meat, especially pork, should not be offered at this stage of their children's lives. It was concluded that the social group in question has positive attitudes towards breastfeeding, but the information and support related to breastfeeding and food supplement should be reinforced by health professionals who are following the mother-infant relationship.[Conceicao, Daniele do Rozario] Nutricionista formada pela Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau)[Rodrigues, Alexandra Magna] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), Dept Enfermagem Nutr, Educ Desenvolvi ment

Previous issue date: 2018The objective of this study was to identify the social representations of the elderly about the food from childhood. It is an exploratory and qualitative approach. Interviews of life with a pre-established script were used in the methodological route. The data were treated by content analysis. With data analysis, the symbology of food and the content that was around it, such as habits, norms, values and attitudes, were discussed. Nine elderly individuals between 61 and 80 years of age participated in a university extension project in the Vale do Paraiba Paulista / SP region. It was observed that social relations, increased consumption and events at the table suffered changes between the past and the present. However, the social representations about childhood food present in the memory of the elderly were related to the affectivity and related relationships, festivities and memories. For these elderly people the affectivity is configured in several ways, such as the pleasure of eating food, receiving someone or being received with food around, and the sense of showing affection in social relationships. At the same time that the elderly have noticed the changes in society in regard to eating and other contents that surround it, the social representations of childhood food are permeated with symbolism and affectivity proper to this object of study.[Faria, Aline Liz; Rodrigues, Alexandra Magna] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau)[Glaus Leao, Marluce Auxiliadora] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), Ciencias Biomed[Querido de Oliveira Chamon, Edna Maria] Universidade de Taubaté (Unitau), Psico

Previous issue date: 2015Resumo: A presente pesquisa visa descrever a construção da identidade profissional docente de licenciandos durante a formação inicial do curso de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo da Universidade de Taubaté, situada na região do Vale do Paraíba Paulista, SP. Essa formação se materializa por meio do Programa de Apoio à Formação Superior em Licenciatura em Educação do Campo – PROCAMPO. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva com abordagem múltipla, associando instrumentos e técnicas quantitativas e qualitativas. Um grupo de 46 sujeitos participou do estudo. Utilizou-se como instrumentos de coleta de dados um questionário e um conjunto de desenhos preparados pelos licenciandos para investigação da formação PROCAMPO. Os dados do questionário foram tratados por meio de um programa estatístico, e os resultados foram apresentados na forma de tabelas e gráficos de proporção e frequência. Os desenhos foram interpretados de forma simbólica, associando os signos concretos a aspectos identitários. Os resultados sociodemográficos permitiram observar a predominância feminina entre os licenciandos pesquisados (76%), o que corrobora outras pesquisas desenvolvidas no país. Quanto à faixa etária, a maioria encontrava-se entre 18 e 25 anos de idade. No que tange ao estado civil do grupo, destacou-se maior percentual de solteiros (54%) e, no que se refere às características étnico-raciais dos licenciandos, houve predominância de indivíduos da raça branca (67,4%). Também se observou que a principal motivação profissional está ancorada em fatores vinculados a aspectos afetivos e sociais, como poder ensinar alguém e melhorar o ensino. Os resultados das análises mostraram que os licenciandos orientam fortemente sua construção identitária para um Ideal: tornarem-se profissionais com perfil de comprometimento social, com a profissão e com a melhoria das condições de ensino. Trata-se de uma identidade profissional associada ao estereótipo do profissional devoto e altruísta. Os licenciandos também associam o comprometimento às especificidades da Educação do Campo, equilibrando a valorização dos saberes do campo com o conhecimento científico já desenvolvido pela humanidade.Abstract: This research aims to describe the construction of the teaching professional identity of undergraduates during the initial formation of the Bachelor's Degree in Rural Education at the University of Taubaté, located in the region of Vale do Paraíba Paulista, SP. This training is materialized through the Program to Support Higher Education Degree in Rural Education - PROCAMPO. This is an exploratory and descriptive research, combining quantitative and qualitative tools and techniques. A group of 46 individuals participated in the study. Data were gathered by means of a questionnaire and a set of drawings prepared by undergraduates about the PROCAMPO formation. The questionnaire data were treated by means of a statistical program and the results presented in tables and graphs of proportion and frequency. The drawings were interpreted symbolically associating concrete signs to identity aspects. Sociodemographic results showed a female predominance among undergraduates surveyed (76%), which corroborates other studies developed in the country. The majority of the group was between 18-25 years old. Results showed also a high percentage of singles (54%), and the undergraduates were predominantly white (67.4%). It was also observed that the main professional motivation is anchored on factors linked to emotional and social aspects as to teach someone and to improve education. The results showed that undergraduates strongly orient their identity construction to a Professional Ideal based on the idea of social utility, of commitment to the profession, and of improvement of teaching conditions. It is a professional identity associated with the stereotype of devoted and selfless professional. The undergraduates also associate commitment to the specificities of Rural Education, balancing the value of the traditional/rural knowledge with scientific knowledge already developed by humanity

Previous issue date: 2013Resumo: A obesidade caracteriza-se por ser uma doença complexa, de origem multifatorial e seu tratamento é um processo lento, com possibilidades de reincidências. O processo de tratamento apresenta dificuldades tanto para os profissionais de saúde quanto para os pacientes obesos. Ressalta-se que o tratamento da obesidade infantil pode ser ainda mais difícil por envolver mudanças nos hábitos dos pais e também pela falta de entendimento das crianças com relação aos riscos da doença. Com a reconhecida complexidade da doença e as dificuldades do tratamento, o tema desperta o interesse e revela a necessidade de se investigar os modos de intervenção de uma equipe de saúde multiprofissional no tratamento de crianças com obesidade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar, à luz da Teoria Bioecológica do Desenvolvimento Humano, as limitações e potencialidades interventivas de uma equipe multiprofissional que atua no tratamento da obesidade infantil. Participaram do estudo de caso cinco profissionais da equipe multiprofissional, uma assistente social, um médico, uma nutricionista, uma professora de educação física e um psicólogo. O método de análise dos dados utilizado foi a Análise do Conteúdo. Foram obtidos resultados relacionados: (1) dificuldades enfrentadas pelas crianças, famílias e equipe multiprofissional no decorrer do tratamento; (2) contribuições dos profissionais com relação às mudanças nos comportamentos alimentares e motores; e (3) aos resultados obtidos com as intervenções ao longo do período de tratamento da criança. Observou-se, ainda, que as práticas de intervenção são fragmentadas. Entretanto, tais práticas intervieram nas dificuldades relacionadas aos aspectos clínicos, ortopédicos, socioeconômicos, psicossociais e socioculturais. Por meio das práticas adotadas pela equipe foi possível constar que as crianças obtiveram melhoras nos aspectos alimentares e motores bem como mudanças no ambiente familiar.Abstract: Obesity is considered a complex disease, originated from multiple factors. It demands a slow process treatment with the possibility of recurrence. The treatment process presents difficulties for both health professionals and for the patients. We emphasize that the treatment of childhood obesity may be even more difficult because it involves changes in habits of parents and the lack of understanding of children in regards to the risks involved in the disease. Knowing the complexity of the problem and the difficulty for treatment, the subject arouses interest and reveals the need to investigate means of intervention by a multidisciplinary health care team for the treatment of children with obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate in the light of the bioecological theory Human development, the limitations and potential intervention of a multidisciplinary team involved in treatment of childhood obesity. Participated in the case study five professionals of a multidisciplinary team, as follows: a social worker, a doctor, a nutritionist, a physical education teacher and a psychologist. The method of data analysis used for the study was Content Analysis. Related results were obtained: (1) difficulties faced by children, families and multidisciplinary team during treatment, (2) contributions of professionals in relation to changes in eating behaviors and motor skills, and (3) the results obtained with assistance throughout the period of the child's treatment. It is concluded that the practices are fragmented, held in groups formed by children and families. Practices intervened in difficulties related to clinical, orthopedic, socio-economic, psychosocial and socio-cultural aspects. Through the practices adopted by the team it was possible to state that the children had improvements in their eating disorders and on motor skills as well as changes in the family environment
Evaluation of symptoms of eating disorders in students of a public university
No full textEvaluate symptoms of risk for anorexia nervosa and bulimia through 2 validated tests, it seems a simple and easy task. But this study shows the challenge of this procedure. This study aims to evaluate the relationship of University course chosen with the symptoms of eating disorders, investigating the relationship between the sexes. Methodology: the target population was composed primarily of students from classes of 3rd period. The identification of the symptoms of eating disorders was held through two questionnaires: EAT (Eating Attitudes Test) and BITE (Bulimic liars Inventory Test Edinburgh), plus a demographic questionnaire for stratification of the data according to age, sex, year and the identification number. A descriptive analysis of categorical variables, through frequency distribution tables. The continuous variables were analyzed by means of measures of central tendency and variability. To compare the final results of the scales EAT and BITE by sex, period and course was used Chi-square test of Pearson for comparing proportions, or the Fisher exact test, which is appropriate for cases where samples are used with small frequencies. All analyses were made to the total Group, students from 18 to 20 years incomplete and students with 20 years or more who were willing to participate. In all analyses, a 5% level of significance. SPSS software was used, version 1.0. Results: of 374 students interviewed, 57.2% of the students interviewed were female, and 29.9% had less than 20 years of age. The median age was almost 22 years, with a maximum of 45 years. 6.7% of total students surveyed reported symptomatic behavior scale EAT (score > 21). In addition, 28.7% showed unusual food standard, i.e. BITE between 10 and 19. Only 2.9% showed great and compulsive feeding behavior to bulimia. The other courses of exact sciences (mathematics, computer science, actuarial science, physics and computational mathematics), the nutrition courses and music did not submit any case EAT larger greater than 21. The highest prevalence were observed for courses of Medicine (9.1%); other courses of Health Sciences (9.5%); and Humanities (9.8%). However, we cannot say that there is significant difference between the courses (p value = 0.614). With respect to the period, the higher prevalence of EAT larger than 20 occurred to pupils of 3rd period (7.2%), and the smallest (3%), for the 1st and 2nd periods. Significant difference between the prevalence of EAT changed between men and women ( 21 p-value was 10.2% among women, and only 2% among men. With respect to age, there was no significant difference (p value > 0.05); the prevalence of EAT > 21 was 7.5% among students aged under 20 and 6.1% among those aged 20 or more. Final thoughts: The high prevalence in female students, corroborated with other aspects of literature, the propagation of ideal of leanness this specific population. No statistical significance, but the difference in prevalence among the courses chosen demonstrates the need to implement newmethods of evaluation as show some results.Avaliar Sintomas de risco para anorexia nervosa e bulimia atraves de 2 testes validados, parece uma tarefa fácil e simples. Mas o presente estudo mostra o desafio deste procedimento. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a relação do curso universitário escolhido com os sintomas de transtornos alimentares, investigando a relação existente entre o sexo. Metodologia: A população-alvo foi constituída principalmente por alunos de turmas de 3º período. A identificação dos sintomas de transtornos alimentares foi realizada através de dois questionários: EAT (Eating Attitudes Test) e BITE (Bulimic Inventory Test Edinburgh), além de um questionário demográfico, para estratificação dos dados de acordo com a idade, sexo, curso e o numero de identificação. Foi feita uma análise descritiva dessas variáveis categóricas, por intermédio de tabelas de distribuição de frequências. As variáveis contínuas foram analisadas por meio de medidas de tendência central e variabilidade. Para comparar os resultados finais das escalas EAT e BITE por sexo, período e curso, foi utilizado o teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson para comparação de proporções, ou o teste exato de Fisher, que é apropriado para os casos em que são utilizadas amostras com pequenas frequências. Todas as análises foram feitas para o grupo total, alunos de 18 a 20 anos incompletos e alunos com 20 anos completos ou mais que se dispuseram a participar. Em todas as análises, considerou-se um nível de 5% de significância. Foi utilizado o software SPSS, versão 12.0. Resultados: dos 374 alunos entrevistados, 57,2% dos alunos entrevistados eram do sexo feminino, e 29,9% tinham menos de 20 anos de idade. A idade média foi de quase 22 anos, com máximo de 45 anos. 6,7% do total de alunos entrevistados apresentaram comportamento sintomático na escala EAT (escore > 21). Além disso, 28,7% apresentaram padrão alimentar não usual, isto é, BITE entre 10 e 19. Apenas 2,9% apresentaram comportamento alimentar compulsivo e grande possibilidade de bulimia. Os outros cursos de ciências exatas (matemática, ciências da computação, ciências atuariais, física e matemática computacional), os cursos de nutrição e de música não apresentaram nenhum caso de EAT maior que 21. As maiores prevalências foram observadas para os cursos de medicina (9,1%); outros cursos das ciências da saúde (9,5%); e ciências humanas (9,8%). Entretanto, não se pode afirmar que existe diferença significativa entre os cursos (valor-p=0,614). Com relação ao período, a maior prevalência de EAT maior que 20 ocorreu para os alunos do 3º período (7,2%), e a menor (3%), para os 1º e 2º períodos. Houve diferença significativa entre as prevalências do EAT alterado entre homens e mulheres (valor-p 21 foi de 10,2% entre as mulheres, e de apenas 2% entre os homens. Com relação à idade, não houve diferença significativa (valor-p>0,05); a prevalência de EAT > 21 foi de 7,5% entre os alunos com menos de 20 anos e de 6,1% entre aqueles com 20 anos ou mais. Considerações finais: Os dados de alta prevalência em estudantes do sexo feminino, corroborados com outros aspectos da literatura, demonstram a propagação do ideal de magreza nesta população específica. A não significância estatística, mas a diferença de prevalência entre os cursos escolhidos demonstra a necessidade de implementar novos métodos de avaliaçã, uma vez que alguns dados obtidos contrariam a literatura
Comportamento de risco para ortorexia nervosa em estudantes de nutrição
No full textObjetivo Identificar comportamento de risco para o desenvolvimento de ortorexia nervosa em estudantes de Nutrição. Métodos Estudo descritivo e transversal. Participaram da pesquisa estudantes de Nutrição, do sexo feminino, com 18 anos de idade ou mais, de uma universidade do Vale do Paraíba do Sul/SP. Foram aplicados três instrumentos, sendo o primeiro para obter informações sobre idade, altura e massa corporal referidos, e ano do curso. Os dados de massa corporal e estatura referidos foram usados para cálculo do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e classificação do estado nutricional. O segundo foi utilizado para identificar distúrbio da imagem corporal, de acordo com a escala de silhuetas. O terceiro foi utilizado para verificar o comportamento de risco para desenvolvimento de ortorexia nervosa (Orto-15). Resultados Participaram do estudo 150 alunas, com idade média de 23,21 anos. Observou-se que a maioria das alunas estava eutrófica (74%, n = 111), segundo a classificação do IMC. Em relação à percepção da imagem corporal, verificou-se que 74,7% (n = 112) das alunas do curso de Nutrição apresentavam distúrbio da imagem corporal. Quanto à ortorexia nervosa, observou-se que 88,7% (n = 133) das alunas apresentavam risco de desenvolver comportamento ortoréxico. Ao relacionar o comportamento ortoréxico com a série cursada, com o estado nutricional e com o distúrbio da imagem corporal, verificou-se que não houve associação entre as variáveis (p > 0,05). Conclusão Conclui-se que um número considerável das alunas do curso de Nutrição apresenta comportamento ortoréxico e distúrbio da imagem corporal
