    (Curso de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2015-03-01) Pinheiro, Elayne Cristina Morais [UNIFESP]; Barbosa, Thaís; Miranda, Mônica Carolina [UNIFESP]; Baddeley, Alan; Navas, Ana Luiza Gomes Pinto; Bueno, Orlando Francisco Amodeo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Associação Fundo de Incentivo à Pesquisa; University of York; Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo
    Screening tests for reading skills are essential instruments for teachers and professionals in educational settings. This study examines an adaptation of the lexical decision subtest of the Reading Decision Test (RDT), which has two equally weighted forms, each containing words and pseudo-words, to Brazilian Portuguese. The adaptation followed standards recommended by the international literature and was applied to a sample of 230 schoolchildren from 1st to 5th grades in order to analyze its initial psychometric properties. Item analysis and reading speed showed significant school-year effect (p < .05). Scores on the two forms of the subtest were closely correlated. In conclusion, the RDT word decision subtest showed appropriate initial psychometric properties.

    Estratégias de coping em atletas de futebol feminino: estudo comparativo
    (Soc Brasileira Med Esporte, 2016) Rossi, Matheus Rizzato; Vitorino, Luciano Magalhaes [UNIFESP]; Salles, Ricardo Pombo; Oliveira Cortez, Paulo Jose
    Introduction: High-performance athletes suffer a series of psychological disorders that can harm their overall performance. With the high levels of competitiveness and physical/tactical training that are required today, coping strategies to overcome these psychological disorders can make the difference between a winning team and a losing team. Objective: To compare coping strategies among high-performance athletes and amateur women's soccer players. Methods: This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, non-probability study. The sample consisted of 56 athletes, divided into two groups: G1 - high-performance athletes and G2 - amateur women's soccer players. The instrument used was the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI - 28), validated for Brazil (ACSI - 25BR) and a demographic questionnaire containing 12 questions, developed by the authors themselves. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test and the Student t test for independent data were used. A confidence level of 95% was adopted. Results: The high performance athletes had higher average scores, which were statistically significant, comparing to the amateur athletes, in the dimensions: "performance under pressure"(p= 0.048), "concentration"(p= 0.020) and "confidence/motivation"(p= 0.009). Conclusion: The high performance athletes performed better in all dimensions except for "trainability" and "freedom from worry", when compared to the amateur athletes.

    New perspectives on coping in bipolar disorder
    (Pontificia Universidade Católica do Rio de JaneiroUniversidade de BrasíliaUniversidade de São Paulo, 2010-12-01) Grassi-oliveira, Rodrigo; Daruy-filho, Ledo; Brietzke, Elisa [UNIFESP]; Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Bipolar disorder (BD) is a prevalent and highly disabling psychiatric condition. Despite the widely acknowledged importance of psychosocial interventions that involve a complex cognitive, behavioral, and biological process to help patients cope better with their illness, few studies have systematically evaluated coping in BD. Therefore, our objective was to examine recent developments in current research on coping in BD. Several studies have documented a strong association between BD and numerous neuroanatomical and neuropsychological abnormalities, particularly multiple episodes and longer durations of the disorder. The most marked effects of BD encompass brain areas involved in executive function, which may affect the mechanisms underlying an adequate selection of coping strategies. Thus, the ability of individuals to reduce their own stress burden is impaired, increasing vulnerability to stressful life events and negatively affecting the course of BD. Psychosocial interventions that focus on BD should be evaluated for their ability to improve coping abilities, and research on BD should consider neuropsychological impairment and cognitive-behavioral strategies for coping with stress.

    Versão brasileira da Escala Cornell de depressão em demência (Cornell depression scale in dementia)
    (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2007-09-01) Carthery-goulart, Maria Teresa; Areza-fegyveres, Renata; Schultz, Rodrigo R. [UNIFESP]; Okamoto, Ivan [UNIFESP]; Caramelli, Paulo; Bertolucci, Paulo Henrique Ferreira [UNIFESP]; Nitrini, Ricardo; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    OBJECTIVE: Translating and adapting the Cornell scale for depression in dementia to the Portuguese language and verifying the interrater and test-retest reliability of the translated and adapted version. METHOD: The Cornell scale was translated into Portuguese and back translated into English. Divergences of translation were identified and discussed, resulting in a version which was submitted to a pre-test for cross-cultural adaptation. The final version was administered to a sample of 29 patients with probable AD and to their caregivers. RESULTS: The Cornell Scale presented good interrater (Kappa=0,77; p<0,001) and test-retest reliability (Kappa=0,76; p<0,001). The final version was easy to administer and well understood by the caregivers. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of the Cornell Scale is an instrument with good reliability to evaluate depression in patients with dementia. This tool will contribute to the evaluation and follow-up of depressed patients with dementia in our population and may also be used in multicentric studies with Brazilian population.
