Abstract(s)
Actualmente as doenças cardiovasculares são o principal motivo de morbilidade e mortalidade em Portugal. Os factores de risco, conhecidos como causas que aumentam a probabilidade de ocorrência de um determinado evento, antecedem em vários anos às doenças cardiovasculares, dentro destes distinguem-se os factores de risco modificáveis e os factos de risco não modificáveis.
Os factores de risco modificáveis considerados como os possíveis de serem controlados têm forte prevalência na população portuguesa, sendo que o excesso de peso, que consequentemente leva à obesidade provenientes de um estilo de vida cada vez mais sedentário, atinge na actualidade valores consideráveis, sendo vários os estudos que têm revelado que estes valores têm vindo a aumentar ao longo dos anos e o mais preocupante é que na adolescência estes valores percentuais têm cada vez mais incidência. Desta forma, se os nossos jovens têm excesso de peso na adolescência apresentam um elevado risco de se tornarem obesos na idade adulta.
Assim sendo, o principal objectivo da presente monografia é saber o “Conhecimento do alunos do ensino secundário sobre os factores de risco para as doenças cardiovasculares”, sendo que optou-se por se efectuar um estudo exploratório, descritivo e transversal com metodologia quantitativa, com o intuito de percepcionar se estes têm o conhecimento de que há factores de risco potencialmente fatais e debilitantes que estão associados a um risco de desenvolver futuramente doenças do foro cardíaco e vascular.
O instrumento de colheita de dados usado foi elaborado pela investigadora e a população escolhida para esta investigação foram alunos do ensino secundário (10º,11º e 12º ano) das turmas do curso de Ciências e Tecnologias da Escola António Sérgio em Vila Nova de Gaia, sendo a amostra total de sessenta alunos.
Currently the cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in Portugal. The risk factors, known as causes that increase the likelihood of occurrence of a particular event, preceding several years to cardiovascular diseases, within these are distinguishable the modifiable and non-modifiable risk facts. Modifiable risk factors considered as possible to be controlled have strong prevalence in the portuguese population, being the overweightness, that consequently leads to obesity coming from a lifestyle more and more sedentary, reaches considerable values currently, several studies have revealed that these values have been increasing over the years and the most worrisome is that are in teenagers that these percentage values have increasingly incidence. So if our young people are overweight in adolescence present a high risk of becoming obese in adulthood. So, the main objective of this monograph is knowing the "high school students knowledge about the cardiovascular diseases risk factors", being that we decided to execute an exploratory study, descriptive and transversal with quantitative methodology, in order to perceive if these have the knowledge that there are risk factors potentially fatal and debilitating that are associated with a risk of developing in the future heart and vascular diseases. The data collection instrument used was prepared by researcher and the population chosen for this investigation were high school students (10th, 11th and 12th grade) classes of the area of science and technology in the Escola António Sérgio, Vila Nova de Gaia, with a total sample of sixty students.
