  • Satisfação profissional: um estudo com enfermeiros especialistas em enfermagem de reabilitação
    Publication . Marques, Raquel Maria Dos Reis ; Pimenta, Rui; Nascimento, Ana Paula
    Este estudo pretendeu analisar a satisfação profissional dos Enfermeiros Especialistas em Enfermagem de Reabilitação (EEER) e também averiguar se o exercício de cuidados de especialidade ou o exercício de cuidados gerais influencia a sua satisfação profissional. A satisfação profissional foi avaliada através da aplicação da “Escala de Avaliação da Satisfação no Trabalho dos Enfermeiros” a 306 profissionais de Enfermagem, especialistas em Enfermagem de Reabilitação. Foi realizado um estudo transversal analítico. Como instrumentos de análise estatística dos dados, recorreu-se à análise fatorial, ao coeficiente de correlação de Spearman e ao teste paramétrico t-student para amostras independentes. Os resultados mostram que os EEER se encontram ligeiramente insatisfeitos. Verificamos que os EEER que exercem cuidados gerais apresentam-se mais insatisfeitos do que os que exercem cuidados de especialidade.
  • The use of statistics in real and simulated investigations performed by undergraduate health sciences' students
    Publication . Pimenta, Rui; Nascimento, Ana Paula; Vieira, Margarida; Costa, Elísio
    In previous works, we evaluated the statistical reasoning ability acquired by health sciences’ students carrying out their final undergraduate project. We found that these students achieved a good level of statistical literacy and reasoning in descriptive statistics. However, concerning inferential statistics the students did not reach a similar level. Statistics educators therefore claim for more effective ways to learn statistics such as project based investigations. These can be simulated, based on previously supplied data, or real, based on data collected by the students themselves. In this work, we intend to evaluate and compare the statistical reasoning and thinking ability acquired by health sciences’ students when conducting both real and simulated investigations.
  • Cluster analysis of noncommunicable diseases in Portugal
    Publication . Nascimento, Ana Paula; Prudêncio, Cristina; Vieira, Mónica; Pimenta, Rui; Bacelar-Nicolau, Helena
    The most common noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer or respiratory diseases, are a problem in global and national growth. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers it a priority to study the specific causes of these diseases for trend monitoring. The aim is to identify a hierarchy of clusters of Portuguese mortality by noncommunicable diseases using the ascending hierarchical classification methodology. The results identifying three clusters A, A2 and B2 of diseases are proposed for study. It is suggested that the risk factors and / or pathophysiological mechanisms that in a direct or indirect way may enhance the common development of the pathologies found in the clusters studied should be an object of priority study.
