Key factors of the functional ability of older people to self-manage medications
Advinha, A.; Nunes, C.; Barros, C.; Lopes, M.; Oliveria-Martins, S.Daily medication use can be affected by the gradual loss of functional ability. Thus, elderly patients are at risk for nonadherence due to functional decline, namely, decreases in cognitive skills and visual and manual dexterity. The main objective was to assess the ability of older people to self-manage their medication and to identify the main predictors for unintentional nonadherence. A cross-sectional study...
The effect of TB patient delay on loss to follow-up in Portugal

Martins, Cátia; Jesus, Saúl; da Silva, José Tomás; Ribeiro, Conceição; Estêvão, M. Dulce; Mocho, Helena; Ratinho, Elias; Nunes, C.Using self-determination theory, this study examined the autonomous motivation and regulatory styles of volunteers. The Volunteer Motivation Scale (VMS) is one of the main instruments available to assess these constructs, but it requires validation and adaptation for different contexts. Therefore, the goal of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the 12-item VMS in a sample of Portuguese volu...

A temporal analysis on patient and health service delays in pulmonary tuberculo...
Chakma, B.; Gomes, D.; Filipe, P. A.; Soares, P.; Sousa, B. De; Nunes, C.Background: Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment delays increase the period of infectiousness, making TB control difficult and increasing the fatality rates. This study aimed to determine the evolution of health care service delay (time between the patient’s first contact with the health service and the diagnosis/start of treatment) and patient delay (time between onset symptoms date and the date of first ...
