ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Considering the ability of the health and self-management in diabetes questionnaire (HASMID-10) to verify the impact of self-management on diabetes, we highlight its relevance to scientific research and clinical applicability. However, to date, no study has been conducted to scientifically support its use in other languages. OBJECTIVE: To translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the HASMID-10 into the Brazilian Portuguese. DESIGN AND SETTING: A translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation study conducted at Ceuma University. METHODS: Study was conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for the Process of Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Self-Report Measures and Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments. We included participants of both sexes diagnosed with diabetes, aged between 18 and 64 years, and without cognitive deficits or any other limitations that would prevent them from answering the questionnaire. We assessed participants using the problem areas in diabetes (PAID) scale and HASMID-10. We assessed reliability using a test-retest model with a 7-day interval between assessments. We used intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), 95% confidence interval (CI), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable difference (MDD), Spearman correlation coefficient, and floor and ceiling effects. RESULTS: Sample comprised 116 participants, most of whom were women, overweight, non-practitioners of physical activity, and nonsmokers. We observed significant correlations (P = 0.006; rho = −0.256) between the HASMID-10 and PAID, adequate reliability (ICC = 0.780) and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.796). No ceiling or floor effects were observed. CONCLUSION: HASMID-10 has adequate measurement properties and may be used for Brazilians.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of oral and maxillofacial pathology laboratories (OMPLs) in Brazilian public universities to the diagnosis of lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A cross-sectional study was performed using biopsy records from a consortium of sixteen public OMPLs from all regions of Brazil (North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast, and South). Clinical and demographic data of patients diagnosed with lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal SCC between 2010 and 2019 were collected from the patients’ histopathological records. Of the 120,010 oral and maxillofacial biopsies (2010-2019), 6.9% (8,321 cases) were diagnosed as lip (0.8%, 951 cases), oral cavity (4.9%, 5,971 cases), and oropharyngeal (1.2%, 1,399 cases) SCCs. Most cases were from Brazil’s Southeast (64.5%), where six of the OMPLs analyzed are located. The predominant profile of patients with lip and oral cavity SCC was Caucasian men, with a mean age over 60 years, low schooling level, and a previous history of heavy tobacco consumption. In the oropharyngeal group, the majority were non-Caucasian men, with a mean age under 60 years, had a low education level, and were former/current tobacco and alcohol users. According to data from the Brazilian National Cancer Institute, approximately 9.9% of the total lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal SCCs reported over the last decade in Brazil may have been diagnosed at the OMPLs included in the current study. Therefore, this data confirms the contribution of public OMPLs with respect to the important diagnostic support they provide to the oral healthcare services extended by the Brazilian Public Health System.

Abstract Background Telemedicine allows Parkinson disease (PD) patients to overcome physical barriers to access health care services and increases accessibility for people with mobility impairments. Objective To investigate the feasibility indicators of a telehealth intervention for PD patients, including patient recruitment, attendance, technical issues, satisfaction, and benefits on levels of physical activity and sleep. Methods We conducted a single-center, single-arm study of telehealth video consultations using WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA). Also, we collected the feasibility indicators as the primary endpoints. All the patients in the study were previously evaluated in person by the same team. Results Patient recruitment, attendance, and technical issues rates were 61.3%, 90.5%, and 13.3%, respectively, with good scores of patient acceptance and satisfaction with the study intervention. The telehealth intervention improved physical activity, including the number of walks for at least 10 continuous minutes (p = 0.009) and the number of moderate-intensity activities lasting at least 10 continuous minutes (p = 0.001). The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores also improved for one of its components: perceived sleep duration (p < 0.001) and for total Pittsburgh score (p < 0,001). The average travel time saving was 289.6 minutes, and money-saving was R$106.67 (around USD 18; almost 10% of the current minimum wage in Brazil). Conclusions Direct-to-patient telehealth video consultations proved to be feasible and effective and had a positive impact on physical activity levels and sleep in PD patients.

Resumo Antecedentes A telemedicina permite que pacientes com doença de Parkinson (DP) superem barreiras físicas para acessar serviços de saúde e aumenta a acessibilidade para pessoas com mobilidade reduzida. Objetivo Investigar indicadores de viabilidade de uma intervenção em telessaúde para pacientes com DP, incluindo recrutamento, atendimento, aderência, problemas técnicos, satisfação e benefícios nos níveis de atividade física e sono. Métodos Foi conduzido um estudo de centro e braço únicos baseado em consultas por telessaúde com utilização do WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, EUA). Foram calculados indicadores de viabilidade como desfechos primários. Resultados As taxas de recrutamento, atendimento e problemas técnicos foram 61,3%, 90,5% e 13,3%, respectivamente, com bons escores de aceitação e satisfação com a intervenção. A intervenção melhorou os níveis de atividade física, incluindo o número de passos por pelo menos 10 minutos contínuos (p = 0,009) e o número de atividades intensas e moderadas com duração de pelo menos 10 minutos contínuos (p = 0,001). O Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh melhorou nos seguintes componentes: duração percebida do sono (p < 0,001) e escore total (p < 0,001). A média do tempo de viagem médio poupado foi de 289,6 minutos, e a economia financeira foi de R$ 106,67 reais (por volta de USD 18; quase 10% do salário mínimo atual do Brasil). Conclusões As consultas por vídeo provaram ser viáveis e efetivas, com impacto positivo nos níveis de atividade física e sono de pacientes com DP.

Abstract Background: we aimed to investigate the isolated effect of tele-exercises (TE) and their combined effect with nutritional coaching (NC) on health-related parameters of overweight and obese individuals. Methods: forty-one overweight (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2) and obese (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) women were randomly assigned to the experimental groups: TE (n = 20) or TE+NC (n = 21). TE was applied 3 days/week in both groups, while TE+NC also received NC 1 day/week. Anthropometric, body composition, and exercise capacity-related outcomes, quality of life, and eating behavior were assessed before and after 8 weeks of the intervention. Results: a significant main time effect (p < 0.01) was detected for flexibility, isometric muscle strength and dynamic muscle endurance, but no main group effect was noted (p > 0.05). On the other hand, neither a significant main time nor group effect (p > 0.05) was detected in the anthropometric and body composition measures, quality of life, or eating behavior. Similarly, no significant between-group difference was observed in the absolute or relative change analysis (all comparisons, p > 0.05). Conclusions: an 8-week TE program enhanced exercise capacity, but did not impact anthropometric or body composition-related outcomes. The combination of NC+TE did not have a clinical advantage in the management of overweight and obesity.

Resumen Introducción: nuestro objetivo fue investigar el efecto aislado de los tele-ejercicios (TE) y su efecto combinado con el coaching Nutricional (CN) sobre los parámetros relacionados con la salud de las personas con sobrepeso y obesidad. Métodos: cuarenta y una mujeres con sobrepeso (índice de masa corporal ≥ 25 kg/m2) y obesas (índice de masa corporal ≥ 30 kg/m2) fueron asignadas aleatoriamente a los grupos experimentales: TE (n = 20) o TE+CN (n = 21). La TE se aplicó 3 días/semana en ambos grupos, mientras que el grupo TE+CN también recibió NC 1 día/semana. Se evaluaron los resultados antropométricos, la composición corporal y la capacidad de ejercicio, la calidad de vida y la conducta alimentaria antes y después de 8 semanas de intervención. Resultados: se detectó un efecto de tiempo principal significativo (p < 0,01) para la flexibilidad, la fuerza muscular isométrica y la resistencia muscular dinámica, pero no se observó ningún efecto de grupo principal (p > 0,05). Por otro lado, no se detectó ningún efecto de tiempo principal ni de grupo significativo (p > 0,05) en las medidas antropométricas y de composición corporal, calidad de vida o conducta alimentaria. De manera similar, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos en el análisis del cambio absoluto o relativo (todas las comparaciones, p > 0,05). Conclusiones: un programa de TE de 8 semanas mejoró la capacidad de ejercicio pero no afectó los resultados antropométricos o relacionados con la composición corporal. La combinación de CN + TE no obtuvo ninguna ventaja clínica en el manejo del sobrepeso y la obesidad.

RESUMO Objetivou-se quantificar os teores de C nos reservatórios da biomassa vegetal de diferentes espécies da Caatinga, floresta tropical seca do Nordeste do Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo florístico e fitossociológico prévio e selecionadas nove espécies de maior densidade absoluta, que representou 87% do fragmento. Foram amostradas biomassa dos compartimentos folhas e lenho de cada uma das espécies para determinação do teor de C. Como resultado, houve diferença nos teores foliares de C entre as espécies. O teor de C foliar das espécies variou entre 448,0 e 454,3 g C por kg de biomassa seca e o teor de C do lenho das espécies variou entre 451,4 e 453,1 g C por kg de biomassa seca. Esses resultados sugerem a utilização de fator de conversão de biomassa para carbono específico por espécie em Caatinga, como alternativa ao fator genérico de 50% recomendado pelo IPCC. Esta pesquisa revela que o uso do fator recomendado pelo IPCC superestima estoques de C em Caatinga. Mais estudos são encorajados para confirmar esse resultado.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to quantify the carbon contents in biomass reservoirs of different species in a Tropical Dry Forest located in Northeast, Brazil. We developed a previous floristic and phytosociological study and selected the nine highest absolute density (AD) species of the fragment, representing 87% of the fragment AD. We sampled the leaves and stem tissues of each species for carbon content determination. As result, the leaf C content differed between the species. The C leaf content ranged between 448.0 and 454.3 g C per kg of dry biomass. The C stem content varied between the species from 451.4 to 453.1 g C per kg of dry biomass. Our results suggest the use of a species-specific biomass-carbon conversion factor in Caatinga, as an alternative to the 50% factor recommended by the IPCC. This research reveals that the use of the factor recommended by the IPCC overestimates C stocks in Caatinga. Further studies are encouraged to confirm this result.

Resumo O aumento na produtividade deve estar atrelado ao controle efetivo dos custos de produção. Assim, o controle químico e seletivo das plantas daninhas é um método adequado, pois proporciona economia de trabalho e energia, demanda pouca mão de obra e permite o controle durante todo o ciclo de cultivo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a sensibilidade da cultura do abacateiro aos efeitos fitotóxicos da aplicação de herbicidas em pós-emergência. O experimento foi instalado utilizando-se de sementes de abacate da cultivar Margarida e conduzido em casa de vegetação no Setor de Fruticultura do Departamento de Agricultura, da Universidade Federal de Lavras. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos ao acaso, com 4 repetições e 8 tratamentos e cada parcela experimental foi composta por três mudas. Os herbicidas paraquat, oxyfluorfen, fomesafem, carfentrazone-ethyl e glyphosate causaram danos às mudas de abacateiro e não devem ser recomendados com base na dosagem comercial utilizada. O paraquat causou a morte das plantas em 30 dias após a aplicação. Os tratamentos com Fluasifope-p- butílico e Imazetapir demonstraram ser os mais promissores para uso em área de implantação de pomares de abacateiros pois causaram menores danos à cultura.

Abstract An increase in crop productivity should be linked to the effective control of production costs. Thus, the chemical and selective control of weeds is an appropriate method because it saves labor and energy, requires little manpower, and allows control throughout the crop cycle. The present study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of avocado seedlings to the phytotoxic effects of postemergence herbicide application. The experiment was carried out on avocado seeds of the cultivar Margarida in a greenhouse in the fruit sector of the Department of Agriculture, Federal University of Lavras. The experimental design was randomized block design, with four replicates and eight treatments, and each experimental plot consisted of three seedlings. The herbicides paraquat, oxyfluorfen, fomesafem, carfentrazone-ethyl, and glyphosate caused damage to avocado seedlings and should not be recommended based on the commercial dosage used. Paraquat caused the plants to die within 30 days after application. Fluazifop-p-butyl and imazethapyr proved to be the most promising for use in avocado orchards because they caused less damage to the crop.

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar diferentes modelos não lineares para o ajuste das curvas de crescimento de animais da raça Nelore Mocho e estimar os parâmetros genéticos para os componentes da curva de crescimento. Foram utilizados dados de peso corporal-idade do nascimento aos 650 dias de idades de 6.717 bovinos da raça Nelore Mocho, pertencentes à Associação Brasileira de Criadores de Zebu (ABCZ), referentes ao período de 1980 e 2011. Quatro modelos não lineares (Brody, Bertalanffy, Logístico e Gompertz) foram ajustados e comparados pelo coeficiente de determinação ajustado (R2adj), desvio médio absoluto dos resíduos (DMA), raiz quadrada do quadrado médio do resíduo (RMSE), critério de informação de Akaike (AIC) e o critério de informação bayesiano (BIC). Para estimativas dos parâmetros genéticos e valores genéticos do peso assintótico (A), constante de integração (B) e taxa de maturação (K), utilizou-se o método de inferência Bayesiana. O modelo Brody apresentou os menores valores de DMA, RMSE, AIC e BIC e o maior R2adj. As estimativas de herdabilidade foram 0,11; 0,16 e 0,30 para os parâmetros A, B e K, respectivamente, enquanto as correlações genéticas foram de 0,01 (A-B), -0,91 (A-K) e 0,24 (B-K). Constatou-se que o modelo Brody forneceu o melhor ajuste. O parâmetro K apresenta variabilidade genética suficiente para seleção no rebanho. Animais com maior peso na idade adulta tendem a apresentar menores taxas de crescimento. Apesar da baixa estimativa de herdabilidade do parâmetro A, observou-se ganhos genéticos, indicando que a seleção está sendo eficiente sobre o peso assintótico.

ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to compare different non-linear models for fitting growth curves of Polled Nellore animals as well as to estimate genetic parameters for the components of the growth curve. The study involved body weight-age data of 6,717 Polled Nellore cattle from birth to 650 days of age, which belonged to the Brazilian Association of Zebu Breeders (ABCZ), corresponding to the period from 1980 to 2011. Four non-linear models (Brody, Bertalanffy, Logistic, and Gompertz) were fitted and compared by the adjusted coefficient of determination (R2adj), mean absolute deviation of residuals (MAD), root mean square error (RMSE), Akaike information criterion (AIC), and Bayesian information criterion (BIC). To estimate the genetic parameters and genetic values of asymptotic weight (A), integration constant (B), and maturation rate (K), the Bayesian inference method was adopted. The Brody model showed the lowest values of MAD, RMSE, AIC, and BIC and the highest R2adj. Heritability estimates for parameters A, B, and K were 0.11, 0.16, and 0.30, respectively, whereas genetic correlations were 0.01 (A-B), -0.91 (A-K), and 0.24 (B-K). The Brody model provided the best fit. The K parameter shows enough genetic variability for selection in the herd. Heavier animals in adulthood tend to exhibit lower growth rates. Despite the low heritability estimate of parameter A, there were genetic gains, indicating that selection is being efficient on asymptotic weight.

RESUMO A indústria têxtil consome um volume significativo de água no processo de tingimento das fibras. As águas residuais geradas no processamento, além de turvas, devido à presença de corantes que não se fixam na fibra durante o processo de tingimento, são prejudiciais ao ambiente aquático e também aos seres humanos. Esse efluente deve passar por um processo de tratamento antes de ser lançado em corpos hídricos. O tratamento de águas contaminadas com o uso de bioadsorventes possui como vantagens o baixo custo de material e reciclagem de resíduo natural. Baseado no exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a capacidade de adsorção do corante têxtil Azul Reativo BF-5G em casca de mandioca (Manihot Esculenta Crantz), resíduo proveniente da indústria de farinha de mandioca. A casca de mandioca foi lavada, seca e classificada. Os ensaios de adsorção, em banho finito, foram realizados em diferentes condições de pH, granulometria e temperatura. As capacidades máximas de adsorção, em 24 horas de contato, para as diferentes condições de pH, granulometria e temperatura, foram as seguintes: (qmáx=85,18 mg.g-1; pH=1; 30 °C; 16 mesh); (qmáx=52,30 mg.g-1; pH=0; 30 °C; 32 mesh); (qmáx=92,92 mg.g-1; pH=0; 30 °C; 48 mesh). O processo de adsorção foi espontâneo e exotérmico, o que leva a concluir que a casca de mandioca (Manihot Esculenta Crantz) é um potencial adsorvente para o corante Azul Reativo BF-5G, garantindo economia e praticidade no tratamento desse efluente.

ABSTRACT The textile industry consumes a significant amount of water in the fiber dyeing process. The wastewater generated in the processing, in addition to turbid, due to the presence of dyes that do not stick to the fiber during the dyeing process, are harmful to the aquatic environment and also to humans. This effluent must undergo a treatment process before being released into water bodies. The treatment of contaminated water with the use of bioadsorbers has the advantages of low material cost and recycling of natural waste. Based on the above, the objective of this work was to evaluate the adsorption capacity of the textile dye Blue Reactive BF-5G in cassava peel (Manihot Esculenta Crantz), residue from the cassava flour industry. The cassava peel was washed, dried and classified. The adsorption tests, in finite bath, were carried out under different conditions of pH, granulometry and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacities, in 24 hours of contact, were as follows: (qmax=85.18 mg.g-1; pH=1; 30 °C; 180 rpm; 16 mesh); (qmax=52.30 mg.g-1; pH=0; 30 °C; 180 rpm; 32 mesh); (qmax=92.92 mg.g-1; pH=0; 30 °C; 180 rpm; 48 mesh). The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic, which leads to the conclusion that the cassava peel (Manihot Esculenta Crantz) is a potential adsorbent for the Reactive Blue BF-5G dye, ensuring economy and practicality in the treatment of this effluent.

ABSTRACT This prospective cohort study aims to analyze the surveillance of COVID-19 at a single hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) center in Brazil, in 29 patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT and 57 healthcare workers (nurses and dentists), through viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva and plasma and seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG. In addition, we report two cases with prolonged persistent detection of SARS-CoV-2 without seroconversion. The sample collection was performed seven times for patients and five times for healthcare workers. Only two patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in their saliva and plasma samples (6.9%) without seroconversion. All healthcare workers were asymptomatic and none tested positive. Two patients (6.9%) and four nurses (8%) had positive serology. No dentists had positive viral detection or positive serology. Our results reflect a low prevalence of positive RT-PCR and seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in patients and healthcare workers at a single HSCT center. Results have also corroborated how the rigorous protocols adopted in transplant centers were even more strengthened in this pandemic scenario.

RESUMO A inatividade física está associada à baixa variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) em adolescentes. Entretanto, não está claro se o número de aulas de Educação Física (EF) causa impacto na VFC. Este estudo transversal verificou a associação entre a frequência das aulas de EF com parâmetros de VFC em adolescentes do sexo masculino. Foram incluídos 1.152 meninos (16,6 ± 1,2 anos). A quantidade de aulas de EF foi avaliada através de questionário e os adolescentes foram estratificados de acordo (nenhuma aula de EF; uma aula de EF / sem; ≥2 aulas de EF / sem). Os domínios do tempo (SDNN, RMSSD, PNN50) e da frequência (LF, HF, balanço simpático-vagal) da VFC foram obtidos. Modelos Lineares Generalizados foram usados para comparar os parâmetros da VFC de acordo com a quantidade de aulas de EF, ajustando para fatores de confusão. Não houve diferença nas medidas de VFC de tempo: (SDNN, p = 0,77; RMSSD, p = 0,72; PNN50, p = 0,83) e frequência (LF, p = 0,61; HF, p = 0,61; balanço simpatovagal, p = 0,60) entre as diferentes frequências das aulas de EF. A frequência das aulas de EF não está associada aos parâmetros de VFC de adolescentes do sexo masculino.

ABSTRACT Physical inactivity is associated with low heart rate variability (HRV) in adolescents. However, whether the number of physical education (PE) classes impact HRV remains unclear. This cross-sectional study verified the association between the frequency of PE classes and HRV parameters in male adolescents. This study included 1152 boys (16.6 ± 1.2 years). The quantity of PE classes was assessed though questionnaire and the adolescents were stratified accordingly (no PE class; one PE class/wk; ≥2 PE classes/wk). Time- (SDNN, RMSSD, PNN50) and frequency-domains (LF, HF, sympathovagal balance) of HRV were obtained. Generalized Linear Models were used for comparing the HRV parameters according to the quantity of PE classes, adjusting for confounders. There was no difference in HRV measures of time: (SDNN, p = 0.77; RMSSD, p=0.72; PNN50, p=0.83) and frequency (LF, p=0.61; HF, p=0.61; sympathovagal balance, p=0.60) between the different frequencies of PE classes. The frequency of PE classes in not associated with HRV parameters of male adolescents.

RESUMO Este caso para ensino retrata a rotina de Willie, Joe e Albert, três idosos aposentados que perdem a pensão adquirida depois de muitos anos de trabalho na fábrica da Wechsler. A empresa está encerrando suas atividades nos Estados Unidos e o banco de que Joe é cliente ficará administrando seus passivos. Vivendo uma vida modesta, os personagens começam a lidar com problemas financeiros decorrentes do novo contexto do período pós-aposentadoria. Para solucionar seus problemas, decidem assaltar um banco. O objetivo do caso é discutir o processo de envelhecimento e os dilemas envolvendo idosos no período de aposentadoria. No que se refere à fonte de dados, o caso é fictício, construído a partir do filme Despedida em grande estilo, dirigido por Zach Braff e protagonizado por Morgan Freeman (Willie), Michael Caine (Joe) e Alan Arkin (Albert). O caso utiliza como recurso didático a descrição de cenas e posterior elaboração de notas de ensino, o que permite a professores e estudantes de graduação e de pós-graduação lato sensu a análise e discussão crítica dos dilemas enfrentados por idosos no período de aposentadoria. O caso pode ser aplicado em disciplinas como Gestão de Pessoas, Gestão de Recursos Humanos, Trabalho e Sociedade, Diversidade nas Organizações e Relações de Trabalho.

ABSTRACT This teaching case portrays the routine of Willie, Joe, and Albert, three retired elderly people who lose their pension acquired after many years of work at the Wechsler factory. The company is ending its activities in the United States and the bank of which Joe is a client will be managing its liabilities. Living a modest life, the characters will face problems arising from the new context of the post-retirement period. To solve their problems, they decide to rob a bank. The objective of the case is to discuss the aging process and the dilemmas involving the elderly in the retirement period. As far as the data source is concerned, the case is fictitious, built from the movie Going in style, directed by Zach Braff and starring Morgan Freeman (Willie), Michael Caine (Joe), and Alan Arkin (Albert). The case uses as a didactic resource the description of scenes and subsequent preparation of teaching notes, which allows teachers and undergraduate and graduate students (both lato and stricto sensu) to analyze and critically discuss the dilemmas faced by elderly people in the retirement period. The case can be applied in disciplines such as People Management, Human Resource Management, Work and Society, Diversity in Organizations, and Labor Relations.

ABSTRACT Patients with Chagas disease have reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Hence, we aimed to identify the factors that mostly affected their HRQoL. This was a systematic review of qualitative studies. The Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica Database, Web of Science, and SciVerse Scopus databases were searched for relevant studies without language or date restrictions. The search and data analysis were performed by independent reviewers; all qualitative studies that reported the factors that had an impact on the HRQoL of patients with Chagas disease were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Qualitative Study Checklist; confidence in the evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation-Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative approach. Five studies were included in this review: four in Brazil and one in California, United States, with immigrants from Central and South America. The sample consisted of 207 patients with chronic Chagas disease. Stigma, physical limitations, work absenteeism, emotional or mental aspects, fear of treatment, and fear of the future had the strongest impact on the HRQoL. All items showed moderate confidence except for fear of treatment (low confidence). The physical, emotional, mental, and cultural aspects affected the HRQoL of patients with chronic Chagas disease. Identification of these factors is important in the development of strategies aimed at improving the HRQoL of this population.
