- Adaptação transcultural e validação da versão moçambicana da Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of MovementPublication . Valente, F; Martins, Maria Elisabete; Antunes, M; Pereira, José PascoalinhoIntrodução: A utilização de instrumentos de medida padronizados e fidedignos é um pré-requisito das boas práticas da Fisioterapia e permite monitorizar os resultados da intervenção e reclamar credibilidade científica para a profissão. A Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) é um instrumento muito utilizado na avaliação das limitações a nível do movimento voluntário e da mobilidade básica em utentes com sequelas de Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC). Objetivo: Contribuir para a adaptação transcultural e validação da versão portuguesa da STREAM, ao contexto cultural e linguístico Moçambicano. Materiais e Métodos: Foram utilizadas duas amostras distintas: 1) 9 peritos analisaram a validade de conteúdo; 2) 70 utentes com sequelas de AVC selecionados por conveniência do Hospital Central de Nampula (HCN) e do Hospital Geral de Mavalane (HGM), foram submetidos à aplicação da escala STREAM por 6 observadores independentes, com a finalidade de analisar a fiabilidade do instrumento. Resultados: A versão Moçambicana da STREAM, revelou para a validade de conteúdo, um consenso absoluto (100%) entre os elementos do painel de peritos; para a reprodutibilidade inter-observador, os valores do Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse (CCI) indicaram um índice de concordância perfeita, com valores de CCI que variaram entre 0,980-0,993 no HCN e entre 0,980-1,000 no HGM e, uma boa consistência interna com valores de alfa de Cronbach entre 0,904-0,998 no HCN e entre 0,881-1,000 no HGM, para cada uma das 3 subescalas e para o total da escala. Conclusão: A versão Moçambicana da escala STREAM revelou ser válida e fiável para as propriedades psicométricas investigadas. Sugere-se a realização de futuros estudos que reforcem os nossos resultados.
- Using educational networks to promote internationalization experiences in physiotherapy educationPublication . Alves Lopes, António; Prado, A; Pereira, A; Leão, C; Martins, Maria Elisabete; Valente, F; Mazzoli-Rocha, F; Pacheco, G; Sousa, J. Luís; Pedro, M; Gagulic, SIntroduction and Objectives: The Academic Network of Health Sciences of Lusofonia (RACS - racslusofonia.org) was created in 2016, with the mission of promoting training and scientific cooperation in health sciences, between higher education institutions and research centers in different countries and Portuguese speaking communities. Within the Physiotherapy Education Group of RACS we develop a project with a set of activities, developed along the academic path of the physiotherapy students, which allow them to be exposed progressively to the international context. Methods: During the 2021/22 academic year, 10 institutions involving 103 Physiotherapy students from 6 different countries (Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Cabo Verde, Angola, and São Tomé e Principe) participate in this project. Students are asked, over a period of 2 months, to carry out at least 2 online meetings within an international group to discuss topics related to the reality of education and the practice of Physiotherapists. As a result, students submit an individual reflection on the most relevant points that were identified in this sharing process. In each of the participating institutions, there was a teacher responsible for preparing, supporting, and evaluating the students' reflections. Results: To assess the impact and satisfaction of the students with activity, an online questionnaire (10 questions) was used, with several dimensions (preparation, performance, and global opinion) where a response rate of 83% was obtained (n=86). Regarding the answers, 93% considered that the objectives of the activity were clear and attainable and that the support materials were adequate (83%). Regarding meetings with international peers, 70% said that communication was easy during the meetings and that the proposed objectives were achieved (91%). Concerning the impact of the activity, 94% considered that the activity contributes to a better understanding of the international context of teaching and practice of physiotherapists, stressing that it should continue to be carried out within the scope of the physiotherapy course (89%). Conclusion(s): The overall reflexion from the students and teachers involved was very positive, reinforcing the importance of this activity and identifying areas of improvement related to student recruitment and support throughout this process. Based on the results, it seems important for us to carry out this project as it facilitates students’ early exposure to international contexts, which may facilitate the development of skills that allow them to play a more active and global professional role.
