ObjetivoEste artigo almejou comparar a frequência de dermatoses psicossomáticas e a qualidade de vida de estudantes universitários da área de saúde.MétodosNeste estudo analítico, transversal e quantitativo, foram aplicados dois questionários on-line para estudantes da saúde: World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Abbreviated Version, para avaliar a qualidade de vida, e outro elaborado pelos pesquisadores para analisar a frequência de oito psicodermatoses e sua relação com o estresse, o desconforto com as lesões e a busca pela ajuda médica ou psicológica. Para aferir a relação entreas dermatoses psicossomáticas e a qualidade de vida, foi considerado p<0,05 do teste qui-quadrado.Resultados Participaram do estudo 608 estudantes. A dermatose mais frequente foi escoriação (37,99%), seguida de retirada de cutícula, mordida em lábios e bochechas (32,40%) e prurido psicogênico (14,63%), sendo a automutilação a com menor frequência (1,15%). Dos que tiveram alguma dermatose psicossomática, 82,33% acreditam que estão relacionadas ao estresse acadêmico, 66,20% se sentem desconfortáveis, e 43,45% já buscaram ajuda médica ou psicológica. A qualidade de vida foi considerada boa por 92,76% no domínio físico, 95,72% no meio ambiente, 88,81% no psicológico e 88,89% nas relações sociais. Houve associação entre a queda da qualidade de vida no domínio físico e a frequência das dermatoses psicossomáticas retirada de cutícula, mordida em lábios ou bochechas (p=0,001), tricotilomania (p=0,055) e prurido psicogênico (p=0,0009); e, no psicológico, com retirada de cutícula, mordida de lábios ou bochechas (p=0,059), escoriações (p=0,087) e prurido psicogênico (p=0,002).Conclusão Dermatoses psicossomáticas são encontradas em mais de 30% dos estudantes; porém, sua associação com a queda de qualidade de vida não pode ser confirmada.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate omeprazole prescriptions for older adults based on the Beers Criteria, with an analysis of indications and duration of use longer than eight weeks. METHODS: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, data were collected from the electronic medical records of older adults with an omeprazole prescription seen at two health care units in Curitiba, Brazil, between June and August 2019. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, Student t and χ2 tests. RESULTS: Medical records of 386 patients were analyzed, and 69.95% were female. The mean age was 71 (SD, 8.15) years. Most patients had incomplete primary education (50.52%) and income level ranging from one to two Brazilian minimum monthly wages (39.90%). No indication for omeprazole prescription was found in 23.83% of medical records. Use longer than eight weeks was predominant for all indications in 96.60% of medical records. Duration of use more extended than the Beers Criteria recommendation was independent of sex (p = 0.327), education (p = 0.805), and income level (p = 0.629). A relationship between polypharmacy and long-term drug use was demonstrated (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest the need for periodic review of omeprazole prescriptions considering deprescribing when they appropriate.
