Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of Brazilian version of Social Rhythm Metric-17 and to present the score algorithm in regular shift employees. Method: This is a cross-sectional study. The Social Rhythm Metric assess the regularity of daily life associated to changes in biological rhythms. The scale was applied, during nine days, to 145 employees, 27.6 % male and 72.4% female, ages between 18 and 60, mean = 36.1 (sd = 9.87). Mean values were compared using the Student's t-test for independent samples and ANOVA. Factor analysis was performed using principal component analysis; the reliability analysis, through Spearman's correlation. Results: The Student t test didn't reveal any significant difference between sex in IRA (t = 0.60; p = 0.55) or ETA (t = 0.67; p = 0.95). The factor analysis showed three components, the first was associated to survival related activities; the second, related to pleasure and work and the third was related to no essential survive activities. Discussion: This version of the Social Rhythm Metric-17 instrument allows to assess an important human zeitgeber, contributing for other studies which can to evaluate the determinant role of social rhythm. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of social rhythm metric 17 presents validity of content and good test-retest reliability. Atividades (t = 0,60; p = 0,55) e para o Escore do Total de Atividades (t = 0,67; p = 0,95 Descriptors
Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de genitores doadores e não-doadores de rim e os aspectos biopsicossociais envolvidos no transplante renal de pacientes pediátricos. Métodos: Estudo seccional-transversal, a amostra foi composta por 61 genitores de pacientes transplantados que fazem acompanhamento regular no ambulatório de nefrologia pediátrica do HSL/PUC-RS, sendo 15 doadores e 46 não-doadores, acompanhados por seis meses. Os entrevistados responderam a dois questionários elaborados pelos autores e ao questionário SF-36. A análise estatística foi realizada através das tabelas de contingências, teste qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney e Monte Carlo para obter a significância de 5% do qui-quadrado. Resultados: A qualidade de vida de doadores e não-doadores apresentaram as seguintes medianas nos oito domínios do SF 36: Capacidade Funcional 92/90; Aspecto Físico 100/100; Dor 72/72; Estado Geral de Saúde 89/82; Vitalidade 60/65; Aspecto Social 100/87; Aspecto Emocional 100/100 e Saúde Mental 68/68. Não houve diferença significativa entre a qualidade de vida de doadores e não-doadores. Conclusão: Não houve diferença entre a qualidade de vida de doadores de rim e não-doadores, o que não exclui a necessidade de se estabelecer programas que estimulem a doação intervivos.
