- The relationship between body mass index and internet problematic use, eating disturbances, sleep difficulties, and psychological distress in portuguese university studentsPublication . Soares, M. J.; Pereira, A. T.; Maia, B.; Gomes, A.; Macedo, A.Introduction: Body mass index (BMI), in overweight and obese individuals, have been associated with sedentary habits, unhealthy use of internet, eating disturbances, sleep difficulties, and psychological distress. Objectives: To investigate the association between BMI and internet use patterns and problematic use, eating disturbances, sleep difficulties, and psychological distress among Portuguese university students Methods: 456 students (76.9% females; meanSD age=20.301.90 years old) fulfilled a questionnaire that include questions on sociodemographic data, internet use patterns, eating habits during internet use, the Portuguese version of the Generalized Problematic Interne Use Scale 2 (GPIU), the Eating Attitudes Test 25, the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale 21, and the Basic Scale on Insomnia Complaints and Quality of Sleep (BaSIQS). Results: BMI mean score was of 22.01 (SD=2.91, range 15-35), underweight were 6.1%, normal weight 81.1%, overweight 10.7% and obese 2%. Significant correlations were found between BMI and individual’s perception that online activity’s impair the quality of their interpersonal relationships (r=.104, p<.05), consume of sweet/ salty/ starchy foods during online activity´s (r=.107, p<.05), global eating disturbances (r=.174, p<.01), diet concerns (r=.301, p<.01), bulimic behaviours (r=.204, p<.01), social pressure to eat (r=-.430, p<.01), psychological distress (r=.114, p<.05), stress (r=.101, p<.05), anxiety (r=.128, p<.01). None of the GPIU and BaSIQS total and dimensions scores were significantly related to BMI. Conclusions: The results do not support the association between students BMI and internet use patterns and problematic use. The kind of food consumed during online activity´s, eating disturbances and psychological distress should be addressed by intervention strategies for overweight students.

- The impact of trait anxiety and autism traits on olfactory abilities of the general populationPublication . Barros, F.; Figueiredo, C.; Costa, A.; Morais, S.; Madeira, N.; Soares, S.Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are characterized by atypical sensory processing, including in olfactory domain. However, since ASD is a complex condition characterized by marked heterogeneity in severity and symptoms, variables with significant manifestation in this condition, such as trait anxiety, may have been adding confounds to results. Importantly, perceptual abnormalities found in ASD seem to extend for the general population, varying with the expression of autism traits. Objectives: To explore the role of trait anxiety and autism traits on olfactory performance in the general population. Methods: Participants were 97 adults who did not present health conditions significantly impacting olfactory function. They filled Autism Spectrum Quotient and State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety. Also, they completed the Sniffin Sticks Extended Test, to evaluate odor threshold, discrimination and identification abilities. Results: Three multiple hierarchical regression models were performed to explain the scores in olfactory abilities. Four predictors were included in each model - somatic and cognitive anxiety, social skills and attention to detail, after controlling for sex in the first step. The models explaining odor threshold and identification were not statistically significant. The model for odor discrimination explained 18.5% of variance, being sex (b=.226), somatic anxiety (b=.279) and attention to detail (b=.294) significant predictors. Conclusions: Our results add new insights about the role of somatic anxiety and attention to detail in discrimination abilities of the general population, suggesting that physiological activation may disrupt olfactory perception regarding discrimination domain specifically, while the reverse seems to occur with high attention to detail.
- Studies carried out in Portugal in the area of peripheral venous catheterization: scoping review protocolPublication . Santos-Costa, Paulo Jorge dos; Sousa, Liliana Baptista; Marques, Inês Alexandra Figueira; Salgueiro-Oliveira, Anabela de Sousa; Parreira, Pedro Miguel Dinis; Vieira, Margarida Maria da Silva; Graveto, João Manuel Garcia do NascimentoBackground: Despite its ubiquitous nature, the practice of peripheral venous catheterization is not homogeneous among international clinical contexts. In Portugal, the information regarding the practice of peripheral venous catheterization is scattered in the literature, hindering efforts of a comprehensive analysis of its nature and implications. Objective: To map the studies developed in Portugal in the field of peripheral venous catheterization. Review method: Scoping review methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. An adequate protocol was established for each base/repository to identify studies that meet the criteria outlined. The analysis of data relevance, extraction, and synthesis will be performed by independent reviewers. Presentation and interpretation of results: The mapping of the studies carried out in Portugal in this area will contribute to the identification of the main structure, process, and outcome indicators described in national studies. Conclusion: It is expected that this review will support the development of future interventions and systematic reviews that enhance the efficacy/safety of the care provided to patients with a peripheral catheter.
