“…Ao contrário dos resultados obtidos, seria de esperar que a Prova de Esforço desencadeasse maiores níveis de ansiedade, tendo em conta que é um exame que exige actividade física notória -correr num tapete rolante no qual se vai aumentando a velocidade e a inclinação, obrigan-do o sujeito a um esforço físico maior e a uma adaptação constante do indivíduo, o que, na nossa opinião, poderia implicar o desencadear de maiores níveis de ansiedade. No entanto, tal não se verificou, talvez pelo facto de, nos dias de hoje, os utentes se encontrarem familiarizados com a passadeira rolante, visto a mesma estar presente na maioria dos ginásios, cada vez mais frequentados por todas as faixas etárias da população em geral, na medida em que a prática do desporto além de ser uma moda de "culto do corpo" (Delaney, O'Keefe & Skene, 1997;Theron, Neal & Lubbe, 1991) se constitui como uma das preocupações de bem-estar actuais. A esse propósito, salientamos que o interesse recente pelo papel do exercício físico na promoção da saúde tem vindo a crescer (Breslow & Engstrom, 1980;Geada, Justo, Santos, Steptoe, & Wardle, 1994) o que justifica o recurso ao ginásio e consequente familiarização com os equipamentos também utilizados no âmbito do desporto.…”

Resumo: O presente artigo analisa em que medida a informação prestada aos utentes antes da realização de exames de diagnóstico não-invasivos, contribui para a redução da ansiedade percepcionada pelo sujeito. A amostra do estudo constituída por 50 utentes de um hospital da área de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, de ambos os sexos com idades compreendidas entre os 20 e 70 anos, foi dividida em dois grupos; i) Experimental (informados) e ii) Controlo (não-informados). Recorremos à adaptação portuguesa do State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) como instrumento de medida e foram originalmente construídos cinco Folhetos Informativos, contendo informação específica sobre os exames prescritos. Os resultados sugerem que, a ansiedade se correlaciona negativamente com a informação prestada e com o nível de habilitações literárias dos utentes não-informados. Os dados obtidos sugerem ainda, níveis de ansiedade mais elevados para o género feminino e evidenciam diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos, em função das variáveis demográficas . Palavras-chave:Informação prestada ao doente, ansiedade percepcionada, exames não-invasivos de cardiologia. NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS The patient's perceived anxietyAbstract: This article analyzes to what extent the information provided to patients before performing non-invasive diagnostic examinations, helps to reduce the anxiety perceived by the subject. The study sample consisted of 50 users of a hospital of the area of Lisbon and Tagus Valley, of both sexes aged between 20 and 70 years, was divided into two groups; i) Experimental (informed) and ii) Control (uninformed). We used the Portuguese adaptation of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) as a measuring tool and were originally built five Informative leaflets containing specific information about the prescribed examinations. The results suggest that anxiety was correlated negatively with the information provided and with the level of educational attainment of non-informed users. The data suggest too, higher levels of anxiety for female gender and suggest differences statistically significant between the two groups, in function of the demographic variables.Keywords: Information provided to the patient, perceived anxiety, non-invasive examinations of cardiology .

“…Previous research supports the direction of the relationship of our research finding. Theron, Nel & Lubbe (1991) directed an exploration to figure out the connection between selfperception and reluctance and results uncovered that there is huge negative relationship between self-perception and hesitance furthermore between self-perception and social uneasiness. Open and personal hesitance absolutely corresponded with one another and social tension also.…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the phenomena of marriage proposals rejection among working and non-working women. It is hypothesized that there is significant difference in self esteem, body image and self consciousness of working and nonworking women after rejection of marriage proposals. The sample was comprised of (N=170) women from which (n=79) was working women and (n=91) was nonworking women. Sample was recruited by using snowball sampling technique. Mix method research design was used in this study. The major tools of this study include Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) by Rosenberg (1965), Body Image Scale (BIS) by Moeen, Muazzam & Zubair (2013) Self-consciousness Scale revised (SCS-R) by Scheier & Carver (1985). The findings showed that body image, proposals rejected by self, number of siblings, younger married sisters, low designation and old age are a predictor of proposals rejection faced by women. The other findings revealed that there is non-significant difference in self esteem, body image and self consciousness among working and non-working women after rejection of marriage proposals. It was also explored that there was non-significant relationship in self esteem, body image and self consciousness among women.
