- Exploring person-centredness in technology-based gait rehabilitation after stroke : a scoping review framework analysisPublication . Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Vareta, Diana; Fernandes, Sónia; Chalaça, Ana; Almeida, Ana Silva; Maia, Ana Catarina; Magsi, Faiza; Hall, Steven; McCormack, BrendanBackground: Technology-based gait rehabilitation after stroke is expanding, however the extent to which interventions embody person-centred care remains unclear. Aims: The objective of this review is to explore the extent to which technology-based interventions for gait rehabilitation in stroke survivors reflect the principles of person-centred practice. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. A comprehensive search was performed in MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, with the last search update on September 1, 2025. Data charting was aligned with the domains of the PCPF, enabling the identification of person-centredness indicators both explicitly stated in the texts and inferred from their context. Results: The search identified 1,460 records; after screening, 21 randomised controlled trials were included. Extracted data were mapped to PCPF domains to identify explicit and implicit indicators of person-centredness. Representation was variable: Prerequisites, Practice Environment, Person-Centred Processes, and Outcomes appeared across studies, while Macro Context was absent. Alignment was evident via practitioner expertise and responsive parameter adjustments (Prerequisites), specialised, well-resourced settings (Practice Environment), and personalised goal setting, real-time feedback, and preference-sensitive features (Processes). Regarding outcomes, all studies reported performance-based measures (motor performance); one included biomarker outcomes and two used Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (quality of life). No Patient-Reported Experience Measures were reported. Conclusion: Technology-focused gait trials remain predominantly biomedical in framing and reporting. Future studies should embed and report explicit person-centred processes and broaden outcomes to include patient-reported experience measures.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections and Health Literacy:Publication . Sul, Susana; Ferreira, Liliana; Maia, Ana Catarina; Coelho, Anabela; Costa, AndreiaBackground: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a public health problem with a high risk of morbidity and community transmissibility. Evidence points to their continuous increase. This study describes the design, development, and implementation of a community-based STI prevention program for community healthcare users. Methods: Based on the Health Planning Process design method, a structured, community-based intervention program on STI counseling and detection was conducted in a primary health care unit in Lisbon. Two data collection instruments were applied in the diagnosis of the situation, namely the Health Literacy Survey Portugal (ILS-PT) and the STD Attitude Scale, to 47 patients who attended the health consultation on STI counseling and detection in a primary care unit in Lisbon. Two interventions were implemented, the health education session and the provision of an educational poster. In the evaluation of the project, the acceptance and satisfaction of the patients with the implemented interventions were considered as outcome indicators. A descriptive statistical analysis of the data was performed. Results: The participants shows considerably low levels of health literacy and high-risk behaviors for acquiring STIs. After an intervention, a high percentage of the participants point out the project as exciting and valuable and reveal having acquired knowledge that allowed them to improve their health. Furthermore, the patients were very satisfied with the implemented health education session and the educational poster. Conclusion: This project revealed the urgent and important need to implement community intervention projects to prevent STIs and promote health literacy among the most vulnerable groups.
