RESUMO Objetivo O intuito deste estudo foi realizar a tradução do NutriQoL para a língua portuguesa e a adaptação transcultural para o Brasil. Métodos O NutriQoL® é composto de 17 pares de perguntas que avaliam a qualidade de vida de pacientes em terapia nutricional enteral domiciliar. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram: tradução da versão em espanhol para a língua portuguesa por dois tradutores; síntese das traduções; retrotradução; avaliação, da versão traduzida, por um comitê de juízes composto por 24 indivíduos, na qual o índice de validade de conteúdo > 0,78 foi considerado, gerando a versão pré-final e realização de um pré-teste no qual a versão pré-final do questionário foi aplicada a 12 pacientes em uso de terapia nutricional enteral domiciliar para análise da equivalência semântica e elaboração da versão final do questionário. Resultados Observou-se que, a partir das duas versões traduzidas, foi possível obter uma versão síntese do questionário. As duas retrotraduções geradas foram idênticas em 73,6% das sentenças (n=25). O índice de validade de conteúdo foi 0,88 ± 0,11, e 14,7% (n=5) das questões tiveram baixo índice de validade de conteúdo, sendo então reformuladas. No pré-teste foi observado que 35,3% (n=12) dos itens obtiveram baixos índices de compreensão e necessitaram de ser reformulados. Na elaboração da versão final do questionário as inconsistências dos itens mencionados foram sanadas e/ou adaptadas. Conclusão Após conclusão dos procedimentos metodológicos, foi possível obter a versão brasileira do questionário NutriQoL® em língua portuguesa para que, após processo de validação, o instrumento seja utilizado pelo nutricionista ou demais profissionais de saúde para avaliação da qualidade de vida de pacientes em uso de terapia nutricional enteral domiciliar, a fim de contribuir com melhorias nas práticas assistenciais.

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the NutriQoL® into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The NutriQoL® comprises 17 questions that evaluate the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The methodological procedures included the translation from the Spanish version into Portuguese by two translators, synthesis of the translations, back translation, evaluation by a committee of judges composed of 24 individuals in which a content validity index > 0.78 was considered acceptable, and generation of the pre-final version. A pre-test to analyze its semantic equivalence was administered to 12 patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy. The final version of the questionnaire was then prepared. Results A summary version of the questionnaire was obtained using two versions of the translation. Both back translations were identical for 73.6% of sentences (n=25). Twenty-four volunteers were included in the committee of judges. The content validity index was 0.88±0.11, and 14.7% (n=5) of questions had a low content validity index and were thus reformulated. In the pre-test, 35.3% (n=12) of items obtained low levels of understanding and required adjustment. In the preparation of the final version, the inconsistencies of the items mentioned were corrected and/or adjusted. Conclusion After completing the methodological procedures, a Brazilian Portuguese version of the NutriQoL® questionnaire was obtained. Following the validation process, it can be used by dieticians and other health professionals to assess the quality of life of patients receiving home enteral nutrition therapy to contribute to improvements in care practices.

Resumo A Terapia Nutricional Enteral Domiciliar é um método eficaz para garantir o aporte nutricional de um indivíduo em seu domicílio. Sendo assim, o objetivo do estudo foi investigar os aspectos clínicos comumente recorrentes em pacientes pediátricos em terapia nutricional enteral domiciliar. A pesquisa de artigos foi realizada por meio das bases de dados: Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciElo) e US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed) utilizando as seguintes palavras-chaves: ‘home enteral nutrition’, ‘home tube feeding’ e ‘children’. Foram selecionados 16 estudos realizados nos países: Brasil, Chile, Espanha, França, Holanda, Itália, Polônia e Monte Sinai, os quais trouxeram evidências que as principais condições clínicas relatadas para a indicação na terapia nutricional enteral domiciliar são as doenças neurológicas, neoplasias em geral e doenças do trato gastrointestinal. Apenas dois estudos abordaram os aspectos negativos da terapia domiciliar que são os episódios de engasgos, tosse, vômitos, diarreia e constipação intestinal. Deste modo, por meio das condições clínicas relatadas observa-se que a indicação da TNED é essencial para estes pacientes, podendo preveni-los da desnutrição hospitalar, diminuição do tempo de permanência, reinternações e redução dos custos hospitalares, além de trazer maior conforto para o paciente pediátrico por estar mais próximo dos familiares.

Abstract Home Enteral Nutrition is an effective method to ensure the nutritional compliance of an individual at home. The aim of this study was investigate the clinical aspects commonly recurrent in children and youth patients in home enteral nutrition. Research of articles was carried out through the databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciElo) and US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed) using the following keywords: 'home enteral nutrition', 'home tube feeding' and ‘children'. Sixteen studies were selected in countries as Brazil, Spain, France, Netherlands, Italy, Poland and Monte Sinai, in which it was presented evidence that the main clinical conditions related to enteral nutritional therapy are neurological diseases, neoplasia in general and the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract diseases. Only two studies had reported the negative aspects of home therapy as episodes of gagging, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Thus, through the clinical conditions reported, it is observed that the indication of home enteral nutrition is essential for these patients, which can prevent them from hospital malnutrition, decrease length of stay, rehospitalizations and reduce hospital costs, as well as bring greater comfort to patients by being closer to their family.

Abstract AIM The aim of this study was to examine the influence of the type of beverage and the use of thirst sensation to guide fluid replacement in the adolescent judokas. METHODS Nine male judokas aged 10-16 (average age 11,8 ± 4,0 years old) were submitted to a standardized training of 90 minutes. In the first phase of the study, the athletes completed the training with ingestion ad libitum of different beverages: day 1 (water) and after 48 hours, day 2 (sports drink). In the second phase, after 7 days of first stage, the athletes completed the training with ingestion of water or sports drink, guided by thirst sensation. The total volume of liquids ingested (VI) during the training was quantified and the level of dehydration was determined by variation of body weight before and after training (∆W). At the end of each training, the athletes were asked about the training intensity to determine perceived exertion (PE). RESULTS No differences were observed in weight loss (∆W) (range: -0,04 ± 0,4 to -0,69 ± 1,1 %) and perceived exertion (range: 3,2 to 5,0). The use of thirst sensation to guide fluid replacement reduced the total fluid intake when the beverage offered was the sports drink (no thirst vs. thirst sensation, 521,1 ± 290 vs 152,2 ± 187 mL - p=0,006). CONCLUSION The results suggest that fluid replacement guided by thirst sensation can be influenced by the type of beverage offered.
