“…A pre-test was conducted at the same time to identify the feasibility of the form, which did not require changes. For the identification of risk, an observation of the environment was conducted and a checklist was completed [7], with the consent of the caregiver. The variables were investigated as three large blocks relative to domestic risk factors: 1) socioeconomic and demographic profile of caregivers and characteristics of the accident; 2) Risk factors relative to infrastructure / household environment; 3) Risk factors relative to the arrangement of objects and furniture in the household.…”

Introduction: Accidents in chilhood are an important theme for Public Health due to what they represent and also to the repercussions for the childrens Health and their community. In this perspective, nursing, particularly in Latin America, has developed few initiatives focused on prevention strategies against domestic accidents; therefore, diagnostic studies are needed to identify this reality especially at home environment. Objective: To investigate the association between risk factors and occurrence of domestic accidents involving children under the age of five in a municipality in the countryside of northeastern Brazil. Method: Analytical, cross-sectional study, conducted with 330 caregivers by using a form for environmental observation as well as a socio-demographic questionnaire. Results: Accidents occurred at home in 97% of cases, with falls being the most common (88.2%). The logistic regression model showed that if there are more than four residents in the household, the probability of accidents increases by 2.9 times; the presence of stairs/steps with no handrail increases the chance by 14.9 times; exits and passageways that are blocked with toys, or other obstructive items, increase the risk by 11.3 times; cleaning products/insecticides stored in low places increases the number of accident by almost 16 times.

Objective: To analyze the level of stress and its relationship with health risk behaviors among university students. Method: Cross-sectional analytical study carried out at a higher education institution in Picos-PI. A total of 377 students were evaluated for socio-demographic and academic variables, stress profile, sleep quality, alcohol use, smoking habits and level of physical activity. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0 was used for data processing and analysis. Results: Sleep quality was poor for 65.3% of the subjects, and sleep disturbances were found in 17.0%. Stress was observed in 68.7% of the sample. Stress was associated with the following variables: gender, time in the institution, poor sleep quality. Conclusion: Most of the students evaluated present some level of stress associated with poor sleep quality, which is a risk to the quality of life of these individuals.

“…In fact, markers such as satisfaction with work/school (OR=1.34; [0.95;1.90]; p=0.099), self-perception of health Although not remaining in the final model, self-perception of health and satisfaction with body image were significantly associated with overweight, indicating a complex construction of perception of body image. Corroborating this situation, Moreira et al (22) identified an association between nutritional status and self-perception of health in young adult students in a city of Northeastern Brazil. Those who were overweight/obese showed a lower chance of having a positive self-perception of health when compared to the remaining groups.…”

Objective: To analyze overweight in young adult students from the individual dimension of vulnerability, especially its interpersonal and subjective markers. Method: An analytical quantitative study was performed with 560 young adults from 26 schools in a capital city in Northeastern Brazil. After obtaining data to administer specifi c questionnaires, logistic regression was used to identify markers of individual vulnerability. Results: In the bivariate analysis, overweight showed a statistically signifi cant association with self-perception of health, satisfaction with body image and self-perception of overweight, the latter remaining in the fi nal regression model. Conclusion: It can be mainly concluded that self-perception of overweight is distorted when compared to one's actual body weight and, for this reason, young adults are vulnerable to dysfunctional health states. However, it was confi rmed that this health condition must be understood in an individual and contextual perspective. Key words: Overweight; Obesity; Health Vulnerability; Body Image; Young Adult. RESUMO Objetivo: analisar o excesso ponderal em adultos jovens escolares a partir da dimensão individual da vulnerabilidade, especifi camente de seus marcadores interpessoais e subjetivos. Método: delineou-se um estudo analítico, quantitativo, realizado com 560 adultos jovens de 26 escolas de uma capital do nordeste brasileiro. Após obtenção dos dados pela aplicação de questionários específi cos, utilizou-se a regressão logística para identifi cação dos marcadores de vulnerabilidade individual. Resultados: na análise bivariada, o excesso ponderal apresentou associação estatística signifi cativa com autopercepção de saúde, satisfação corporal e autopercepção de excesso ponderal, esta permanecendo no modelo fi nal da regressão. Conclusão: conclui-se, sobremaneira, que a autopercepção de excesso ponderal sofre distorções em relação à real situação corporal e por isso torna o adulto jovem vulnerável a estados disfuncionais de saúde. No entanto, ratifi ca-se que o agravo deve ser compreendido numa perspectiva individual e contextual. Descritores: Sobrepeso; Obesidade; Vulnerabilidade em Saúde; Imagem Corporal; Adulto Jovem.
