Abstract: In recent years research on organizational happiness has been increasing but instruments to measure happiness at work, considering organizational factors, are scarce. This study aims to validate a scale to measure organizational happiness among physiotherapists and its relationship with patient satisfaction. For that we will implement an Organizational Happiness Scale to physiotherapists and the Physical Therapy Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire to their patients. At the end two major outcomes will be achievable: (i) the study of validation and reliability of a happiness organizational scale to be used among physiotherapist and, (ii) to understand if happiest physiotherapists have more satisfied patients. Previous research demonstrates the positive impact of satisfaction on patient rehabilitation. This study will provide knew knowledge on the contribution of a happy physiotherapist professional for that.2015-01-01T00:00:00ZEnvelhecimento Demográfico e Saúde: desafio para a Segurança Sanitária em PortugalLeão, Carlahttp://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12253/13562019-01-25T12:21:42Z2011-11-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Envelhecimento Demográfico e Saúde: desafio para a Segurança Sanitária em Portugal

Abstract: A Segurança Sanitária, relacionada com a saúde do indivíduo e serviços de saúde disponíveis nas regiões ou nos Estados da UE, tem sido pouco documentada. Não obstante, existem preceitos da UE em conformidade: o Parecer do Comité Económico e Social Europeu sobre “A segurança sanitária: uma obrigação colectiva, um direito novo” (2005/EC120/10), entre outros documentos demonstrativos da relevância do tema ao nível nacional, europeu e Internacional, dadas as relações de cooperação internacional mediadas pela ONU e pela OMS . Considerando: (1) o quadro europeu e nacional de envelhecimento demográfico, especificamente o aumento dos efectivos populacionais com mais de 65 anos e mais de 80 anos, (2) o movimento migratório interno da população mais jovem para os centros urbanos, (3) a diminuição do suporte familiar, advindo da alteração das estruturas familiares, deparamo-nos com áreas vastas de população idosa, só, fragilizada, pouco instruída, com parcos recursos económicos e com dificuldades em se deslocar aos centros detentores de serviços de saúde. Neste contexto, e reportando-nos ao fenómeno da globalização e aos riscos inerentes como o bioterrorismo, deparamo-nos com a constatação empírica de que estas populações fragilizadas e com limitações no que concerne à proximidade de meios de diagnóstico e tratamento, ou seja protecção à saúde, poderão ser a janela de
oportunidade à ofensiva biológica ou química. Decorrendo deste contexto, propomos fazer o estudo do envelhecimento Demográfi co e dos serviços de Saúde em Portugal ao nível das suas NUTS III, de forma a caracterizar e conhecer as realidades regionais, sendo que os serviços de saúde, para além de agentes de prestação de cuidados, são as entidades privilegiadas em matéria de vigilância sanitária. Poderá assim contribuir para o conhecimento da realidade do terreno, possibilitando-nos uma avaliação dos riscos para a segurança do país e dando suporte à tomada de decisão em matéria de medidas relativas à defesa.

Abstract: This paper summarizes the conclusions from a project financed by FCT-PORTUGAL. It addresses the relationship between health status and the rise of Portuguese educational levels in a context of ageing process. We measured the extent and implications of these links from 1970 to 2030, using econometric models and demographic forecast as a tool to support political entities in what concerns health policies, given the changes of costumers profile (typology, quality assessment and market analysis). The impacts of population ageing are known, as well as its consequences on health care and other areas of social policies. Although the economic impacts of those changes are a not consensual, they are inevitable. Individuals are living longer and disability is declining. Health care cost will rise as a direct consequence of a higher number of oldest populations and due to better and more expensive health care treatments, possible by technological improvements. The cost of public pension programs will rise in a context of fewer labour forces to pay. What adjustment might be made? Can the rise of educational levels contribute to reduce the scenario of disruption on national social protection systems? How can an attempted forecast of health status help policy makers to find the adequate answers to assure it in national and regional levels? Most of these questions are already answered for other countries, but not completely solved in national case. Our study: (1) evaluates the effects of social and demographic changes on Portuguese health profile, as well as the support and importance given by politicians to collective welfare and health policies; (2) measures demographic changes crossed with educational level and health status; (3) evaluates the relative influence of the former variables, linking demographic changes with socioeconomic determinants/predictors of health status; (4) points out the major implications of health national policy.

Abstract: Considering the gradual process of ageing, the ongoing increase in the level of education, and the outcome that
these demographic changes and population health conditions have a considerable effect in governmental "modus operands", we face the following questions: (1) during the 20th century, social and demographic changes influenced Portuguese population health profile? (2) Which importance as been attributed, at governmental level, to health and
well-being policies? In this investigation, still in development process, we try to study the links between ageing, education, health and health policies, essentially related to health services. In methodological terms our study is based in national and international literature review, existing legislation and statistical data related to the subject.
