- Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in the Elderly: The Perspective of Nursing StudentsPublication . Ferreira, Rogério; Baixinho, Cristina Lavareda; Ferreira, Óscar Ramos; Nunes, Ana Clara; Mestre, Teresa; Sousa, LuísHealth promotion and disease prevention are closely linked to health literacy. Therefore, intervention to increase individuals’ knowledge is essential if action is to be taken to promote a healthy lifestyle with support from health professionals for decision making on choices leading to behavioral change. Taking into account the growing aging population, nurses and nursing students have to develop interventions to promote health and prevent disease in these people, in order to keep them healthy and with quality of life. This study aims to understand how nursing students’ experiences in a clinical teaching context contributed to the development of their competencies in the promotion of health and prevention of disease in the elderly. Method: Qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study carried out with ten students about to finish a graduate nursing course in a higher education institution in the South of Portugal. This study was carried out through narratives, one of the most common data collection procedures in social and health investigations. The content analysistechnique, more specifically the thematic categorical analysis, was used for data analysis. The study received authorization from the Ethics Committee of the institution where it took place. Results: Three categories were found: “Strategies to promote health and prevent disease in the elderly”, “Health improvements from the implementation of the strategies to promote health and prevent disease in the elderly”, and “The impact your participation in these strategies to promote health and prevent disease in the elderly had on your formative process”. Conclusion: The students developed competencies during their clinical teaching experiences through the implementation of strategies of health promotion and disease prevention adapted to/focused on the needs of the elderly.
- Enjoyment as a Predictor of Exercise Habit, Intention to Continue Exercising, and Exercise Frequency: The Intensity Traits Discrepancy Moderation RolePublication . Teixeira, Diogo; Rodrigues, Filipe; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, DiogoGiven the need to explore the factors that can account for a better understanding of the intention-behavior gap in exercise practice in health club settings, and considering the emergence of hedonic assumptions related to exercise adherence, this cross-sectional study aimed to test the moderation effect of the intensity traits agreement/disagreement in three relevant outcomes of exercise enjoyment: exercise habit, intention to continue exercising, and exercise frequency. A sample consisted of 273 exercisers (male = 127; Mage = 36.21; SD = 11.29) enrolled in nine health clubs who voluntarily fulfilled a battery of questionnaires. All analyses were performed using SPSS v. 23.0/PROCESS v. 3.5. The results of the study presented a moderation effect of exercise intensity traits agreement on three relevant enjoyment outcomes: exercise habit, intention to continue exercising, and exercise frequency. No relevant results emerged from intensity traits disagreement. The results suggest that assessing and tailoring exercise prescription and supervision in order to customize exercise intensity may influence future exercise participation.
- Metodologias, Métodos, Sistemas de Análise e Concepção de Marcas. O Caso de Estudo do Café DelfinaPublication . Nunes, Joana Alexandra dos Santos; Oliveira, Fernando Jorge Matias SanchesEsta investigação tem por objetivo entender a organização dos Sistemas de Identidade Visual Corporativa, sendo estes fundamentais para uma melhor eficácia da comunicação do caso de estudo que será projetado. Como tal, iremos adotar um método que é apoiado através da utilização de Diagramas e de Linguagens Síntese Visuais, que simplificam informação oriunda de diversas origens por meio de representações estruturais, sendo esta desenvolvida por Fernando Oliveira, (2015). Sendo evidente a complexidade visual característica da sociedade pós-modernista, esta análise tem como propósito através de estudos existentes nesta área, perceber a importância de clarificar os constituintes de Sistemas de Identidade Visual. Procura-se entender de que forma, os processos metodológicos e propostas teóricas contribuem para a atividade projetual, nomeadamente em questões de sintaxe e pragmática enquanto orientadores de trabalho. Este projeto de investigação inicia-se como uma investigação mista (intervencionista e não-intervencionista) na combinação do enquadramento teórico (revisão literária) e da prática profissional (estudos de caso) com a finalidade de assimilar os requisitos necessários à implementação do Sistema da Identidade Visual. Como investigação ativa e exploratória, houve intenção de aplicar esses mesmos requisitos num projeto caris prático, que visa contribuir para um conhecimento acerca dos componentes e processos de um Sistema da Identidade Visual.
