Valor da literacia em saúde para a gestão de uma instituição de saúde
Get PDFA Literacia em Saúde tem-se afirmado, ao longo do tempo, como um campo de investigação
em constante evolução, com forte impacto social e económico. A sua relevância decorre da
relação direta entre a capacidade de compreender e aplicar informação em saúde e os níveis
de qualidade de vida e bem-estar dos indivíduos.
Conhecer os níveis de literacia em saúde da população é, portanto, um passo crucial para
que profissionais e gestores possam conceber estratégias orientadas para melhorar a
compreensão dos cuidados em saúde e promover uma gestão mais eficiente e centrada nas
necessidades reais da população.
O objetivo deste trabalho é assim avaliar e caracterizar o grau de literacia em saúde dos
utentes da Associação Protetora de Diabéticos de Portugal, e avaliar o seu impacto na gestão
de serviços e assim desenvolver estratégias de otimização.
Foi utilizado o European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16), na versão
portuguesa, juntamente com um questionário com questões para caracterizar o perfil
sociodemográfico, os hábitos e conhecimentos de saúde dos respondentes. A amostra deste
estudo é constituída por utentes da APDP de ambos os géneros, com idades compreendidas
entre os 21 e os 93 anos, perfazendo um total de 174 indivíduos.
Os resultados obtidos indicam que a maioria dos indivíduos apresenta níveis de literacia
em saúde inadequados ou problemáticos (51,2%) e apenas 5,2% níveis excelentes. Verificouse
também uma correlação, ainda que fraca, entre o grau de escolaridade dos indivíduos e a
sua literacia em saúde.Health literacy has established itself over time as a constantly evolving field of research with a
significant social and economic impact. Its relevance stems from the direct relationship
between the ability to understand and apply health information and individuals' quality of life
and well-being.
Understanding the population's health literacy levels is therefore a crucial step for
professionals and managers to design strategies aimed at improving their understanding of
healthcare and promoting more efficient management focused on the population's real needs.
The objective of this study is to assess and characterize the health literacy level of users
of the Portuguese Diabetes Protection Association, assess its impact on service management,
and develop optimization strategies.
The Portuguese version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EUQ16)
was used, along with a questionnaire with questions to characterize the
sociodemographic profile, habits, and health knowledge of respondents. The sample for this
study consisted of APDP users of both sexes, aged between 21 and 93, totaling 174
individuals.
The results indicate that most individuals have inadequate or problematic levels of health
literacy (51.2%), and only 5.2% have excellent levels. There was also a correlation, although
weak, between individuals' level of education and their health literacy

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
