Objetivo: analisar as campanhas midiáticas acerca das tecnologias de prevenção dos acidentes por motocicletas no C.eará, Brasil. Método: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, onde foi realizada uma pesquisa documental através do site institucional, sobre tecnologias educativas desenvolvidas pelo DETRAN-CE para a prevenção de acidentes de moto no Ceará. Resultados: As campanhas educativas na mídia cearense são divulgadas pelo Departamento Estadual de Trânsito do Estado do Ceará - DETRAN-CE, órgão que regulamenta o trânsito no estado. O DETRAN-CE divulga as preventivas através de mensagens e orientações sobre condutas corretas no trânsito, no sentido de mudar o comportamento do homem na via pública e reverter o quadro de violência, reduzindo o número de acidentes, mortes e feridos. O público alvo são os condutores, passageiros, ciclistas, motociclistas e pedestres, que são ao mesmo tempo agentes e vítimas da violência, já que estudos apontam o homem como responsável por 90% dos acidentes no trânsito no país. Conclusão: Em virtude do número crescente de acidentes de trânsito no Ceará, verificou-se à inexistência de uma tecnologia atualizada e eficaz, para a prevenção de acidentes com motociclistas, o que pressupõe a ineficácia do desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta atualizada aplicada para a segurança no trânsito.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationship between smartphone usage time and postural alignment in teenage university students and the associated factors. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study with 133 teenage university students (18-19 years old) between April and November 2018 in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Questionnaires were used to collect information on socioeconomic status, health conditions, smartphone usage time and level of physical activity. The alignment of the cervical region was assessed using photogrammetry in anatomical position and while texting on the smartphone. Horizontal alignment of the head (HAH), horizontal alignment of the acromion (HAA) and vertical alignment of the head (VAH) were measured. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to check for factors associated with smartphone usage time (>6 hours a day). Results: There were higher rates of girls (66.9%; n=89), people in the lower social class (71.4%; n=95), frequent drinkers (66.9%; n=89), people who complained of headache (83.5%; n=111) and people who used smartphones for more than 6 hours a day (72.9%; n=97). The multivariate analysis showed an association of smartphone usage time (>6 hours a day) with cervical anteriorization, estimated by measuring the VAH (OR=1.053; p=0.007 – left side), female gender (OR=2.729; p=0.046), frequent drinking (OR=2.636; p=0.038) and complaint of headache (OR=5.617; p=0.002). Conclusions: There was a high percentage of adolescents who excessively used smartphones for more than 6 hours a day. Prolonged smartphone use was associated with female gender, alcohol consumption, headache and changes in cervical alignment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
