Resumo Este estudo investigou a prevalência e potenciais fatores de risco para ansiedade e depressão em fisioterapeutas durante a pandemia. Fisioterapeutas responderam a um questionário na web, incluindo: dados sociodemográficos, profissionais e clínicos; demandas psicossociais; e dois questionários validados para medir ansiedade e depressão. Regressão logística binária identificou fatores de risco para ansiedade e depressão por meio de odds ratio (OR) e intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC). Em 417 participantes houve alta prevalência de ansiedade (48,2%) e depressão (53%). Os fatores de risco para ansiedade foram: sexo feminino (OR 2,07; IC95% 1,01-4,24), piora nos padrões de sono (OR 3,78; IC95% 1,92-7,44), moderada (OR 2,24; IC95% 1,00-5,00) e extrema preocupação financeira (OR 3,47; IC95% 1,57-7,65) e extrema solidão (OR 3,47; IC95% 1,71-7,07). Os fatores de risco para depressão foram: sexo feminino (OR 2,16; IC95% 1,03-4,55), baixa renda familiar (OR 2,43; IC95% 1,21-4,89), piora nos padrões de sono (OR 5,97; IC95% 3,02-11,82), extrema preocupação financeira (OR 2,61; IC95% 1,15-5,94) e extrema solidão (OR 4,38; IC95% 2,00-9,63). Este estudo mostrou alta prevalência de ansiedade e depressão na população estudada e identificou fatores de risco para ambos.

Abstract This study investigated the prevalence and the potential risk factors for anxiety and depression among physiotherapists during the pandemic. Physiotherapists answered a web-based questionnaire including 1) sociodemographic, professional and clinical information; 2) psychosocial demands; and 3) two validated questionnaires to measure anxiety and depression. Binary logistic regression identified the risk factors by means of odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). In 417 participants, there was a high prevalence of anxiety (48.2%) and depression (53.0%). The risk factors for anxiety were female sex (OR 2.07; 95%CI 1.01-4.24), worsening in sleep patterns (OR 3.78; 95%CI 1.92-7.44), moderate (OR 2.24; 95%CI 1.00-5.00) and extreme concern about financial issues (OR 3.47; 95%CI 1.57-7.65), and extreme loneliness (OR 3.47; 95%CI 1.71-7.07). The risk factors for depression were female sex (OR 2.16; 95%CI 1.03-4.55), low family income (OR 2.43; 95%CI 1.21-4.89), worsening in sleep patterns (OR 5.97; 95%CI 3.02-11.82), extreme concern about financial issues (OR 2.61; 95%CI 1.15-5.94), and extreme loneliness (OR 4.38; 95%CI 2.00-9.63). This study found a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in the studied population and identified risk factors for both.

ABSTRACT Objective This study was designed to identify the major musculoskeletal symptoms of individuals with obesity, to assess their health-related quality of life, and to evaluate the correlation between the musculoskeletal symptoms and the individuals’ health-related quality of life. Materials and methods Cross-sectional study. Instruments used “Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire” and “The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)”. Results In total, 41 subjects were evaluated, of which 90.15% were female. The mean age of the subjects was 40.78 ± 9.85 years and their mean body-mass index was 46.87 ± 8.08. All subjects reported musculoskeletal pain in at least one anatomical region and 80.49% had pain in three or more regions. The activity limitations due to pain were reported by 75.61% of them. The most affected regions by pain were the ankles and/or feet, lower back, knees and wrists/hands/fingers. The most associated regions with activity limitations due to pain were the ankles and/or feet, knees and lower back. The presence of pain showed a negative correlation with the domains physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP) and body pain (BP). The activity limitations showed a negative correlation with the domains PF, BP, social functioning (SF) and role-emotional (RE). Conclusion Our data showed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and limitation in activities due to pain in obese subjects. The musculoskeletal symptoms had negative correlations with physical and mental components of the health-related quality of life, highlighting the importance of ensuring that patients with obesity have access to interdisciplinary care, for the prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders.
