“…El DLQI se compone de 10 preguntas de opción múltiple, divididas en seis campos: trabajo, ocio, relaciones personales, tratamiento, síntomas y sentimientos, que evaluan al individuo desde el punto de vista dermatológico y se pueden utilizar para medir o comparar la calidad de la vida entre diferentes enfermedades de la piel. La puntuación del instrumento varía de 0-30, cuando 0 se atribuye al mejor resultado y 30 al peor, siendo: sin deterioro de la calidad de vida (0-1), con deterioro leve (2-5), moderado (6-10), grave (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) o muy grave (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). El estudio de selección aportará información relevante sobre el estigma de la enfermedad de Hansen, atendiendo a los objetivos de la investigación.…”

Objective: Evaluate the degree of impairment of the quality of life of people with Hansen’s disease, according to social demographic and clinical variablesMethod: Descriptive, transversal, quantitative study, involving 45 patients from a reference hospital located in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. For obtaining data, interviews were performed based on a semi-structured questionnaire, including social demographic and clinic variables of the participants; to evaluate their life quality the instrument Dermatology Life Quality Index, was used, after approval in the Committee of Ethics in Research of the Federal University of Paraíba. In the data analysis, the non-parametric Test of the Chi-square of Pearson was used with level of significance of 5% (p<0,05), being used the Yates correction continuity, when necessary.Results: It is highlighted a prevalence of male, brown, single, aged 18 to 40 individuals, with family income lower than three minimum salaries and low schooling. From this total, 88,9% presented the clinical multibacillary form of the Hansen’s disease and 60% of them, with level of impairment of quality of life varying between moderate and very serious, according to scores of the instrument used.Conclusion: It is reassured the important impact of the Hansen’s disease in the quality of life of their carriers, as indicated by the high scores obtained in the application of the DLQI. Objetivo: Evaluar el grado de deterioro de la calidad de vida de las personas con enfermedad de Hansen, de acuerdo con las variables sociodemográficas y clínicasMétodo: Estudio descriptivo, transversal, cuantitativo, que involucró a 45 pacientes de un hospital de referencia en João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. Para la obtención de datos, las entrevistas se realizaron a partir de un cuestionario semiestructurado que incluyó las variables sociodemográficas y clínicas de los participantes; para evaluar su calidad de vida se utilizó el instrumento Dermatology Life Quality Index, luego de su aprobación en el Comité de Ética en Investigación de la Universidad Federal de Paraíba. En el análisis de los datos, se utilizó la Prueba no paramétrica del Qui-cuadrado de Pearson con un nivel de significación del 5% (p <0,05), usándose la continuidad de corrección de Yates, cuando fue necesario.Resultados: Se destaca la prevalencia de individuos varones, pardos, solteros, de entre 18 y 40 años, con ingresos familiares inferiores a tres salarios mínimos y baja escolaridad. De este total, el 88,9% presentó la forma clínica multibacilar de la enfermedad de Hansen y el 60% de ellos, con un nivel de deterioro de la calidad de vida que varía entre moderado y muy grave, según los puntajes del instrumento utilizado.Conclusión: Se confirma el importante impacto de la enfermedad de Hansen en la calidad de vida de sus portadores, como lo indican los altos puntajes obtenidos en la aplicación del DLQI.

Desse total, 88,9% apresentavam a forma clínica multibacilar da hanseníase e 60% deles, com grau de comprometimento da qualidade de vida vaiando de moderado a muito grave, segundo escores do instrumento utilizado.Conclusão: Reafirma-se o importante impacto da hanseníase na qualidade de vida de seus portadores, tal como indicado pelos altos escores obtidos na aplicação do DLQI.

Background Sensory processing is essential for the interaction with the environment and for adequate daily function. Sensory processing may deteriorate with aging and restrict daily activity performance. Aging may also affect Executive functions (EFs) which are critical for daily activity performance. Yet, most studies refer separately to the impacts of sensory processing or EFs and use clinical evaluations that do not necessarily reflect functional restrictions in real life. This study aims to describe the prevalence of altered sensory processing in the elderly as expressed in daily life scenarios and explore whether EFs mediate between altered sensory processing and daily activity performance in older adults. Methods This cross-sectional study included 167 healthy independently functioning people aged 65 and above who were living in the community, had sufficient cognitive status and no symptoms of depression (based on the GDS and the MMSE). All participants completed a socio-demographic-health questionnaire, the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile, the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function–Adult Version and the Daily Living Questionnaire. Results Altered sensory processing, and mainly by the reduced ability to register and modulate sensory input from daily environment, were prevalent in older adults. Their impacts on daily activity performance were mediated by executive dysfunctions. Conclusions Executive dysfunctions may worsen the negative effects of altered sensory processing on daily activity performance in older adults. The interaction between EFs and sensory processing should receive growing attention in intervention and prevention programs for older adults, with the emphasis on their expressions and implications on peoples’ function in real life context.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting patient functioning and quality of life. Aside from the motor symptoms of PD, cognitive impairment may occur at early stages of PD and has a substantial impact on patient emotional and physical health. Detecting these early signs through actual daily functioning while the patient is still functionally independent is challenging. We developed DailyCog—a smartphone application for the detection of mild cognitive impairment. DailyCog includes an environment that simulates daily tasks, such as making a drink and shopping, as well as a self-report questionnaire related to daily events performed at home requiring executive functions and visual–spatial abilities, and psychomotor speed. We present the detailed design of DailyCog and discuss various considerations that influenced the design. We tested DailyCog on patients with mild cognitive impairment in PD. Our case study demonstrates how the markers we used coincide with the cognitive levels of the users. We present the outcome of our usability study that found that most users were able to use our app with ease, and provide details on how various features were used, along with some of the difficulties that were identified.
