Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a set of more than 200 symptoms that involve behavioral factors and somatic, emotional, and cognitive symptoms that are directly related to hormonal changes that occur in the premenstrual period. Amid stressful situations experienced throughout life, strategies are needed to face and adapt to such events. How one chooses to deal with situations is characterized by coping strategies. Women with PMS use different coping strategies compared to women without PMS, making it necessary to understand which strategies are useful for dealing with premenstrual distress and which can be actively modified with methods such as physical activity. The beneficial effect of exercise on PMS symptoms is the reduction of psychological symptoms, but studies with the application of controlled, long-term protocols are still needed. Minimum dose training is like “training snacks”, with summarized training, below that is recommended by global institutions, providing physical and psychological gains to practitioners, compared to a sedentary life. The objectives of the study are: a) to analyze the effects of a minimum dose protocol of 8 weeks on the psychological symptoms of PMS, and b) to identify which coping strategies were used by women affected by PMS during a minimum dose protocol of eight weeks. After selection by inclusion criteria based on information from a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the PMS Symptom Screening Questionnaire (Premenstrual Symptom Screening Tool - PSST), and the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q), 33 university students were affected. by the SPM, they were referred to two groups: the Resistance Training Group (GTR), which carried out a resistance training program, and the Control Group (CG), which carried out physical tests and filled out questionnaires. Both responded to the questionnaire (Premenstrual Symptom Screening Tool - PSST) on day 1 of their cycle for two menstrual cycles and the coping strategies questionnaire (Brief Cope), given at the end of every week for two months. For data analysis, the linear mixed model was used using Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) with the application of the ANOVA III table and Tukey's post hoc for the analysis of PMS symptoms. To analyze coping strategies, the linear mixed model was used for each domain, with descriptive and exploratory analysis. The program used for the analysis was R Studio. The results of the analysis showed significant differences in physical and psychological manifestations, in the second moment, with a reduction in symptoms in the GTR compared to the CG. Differences were also noticed in the functional impacts of symptoms, in the second moment, with a reduction in impacts in the GTR compared to the CG. In the coping analysis, constancy was observed in the choice of strategies, demonstrating that it was not influenced by the minimum dose protocol. We conclude that the practice of resistance training with the minimum dose method helps in the treatment of PMS symptoms by reducing physical and psychological manifestations as well as the functional impact of the symptoms on the lives of those affected. The chosen coping strategies seem to remain constant, not being influenced by the minimum dose protocol.

Missão principal: mulheres desenvolvedoras de jogos eletrônicos e o combate à violência de gênero
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-29) MELO, Renata Christine da Silva; ALVARENGA, Eric Campos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5734378044087055; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1803-2356
This work aimed to explore Brazilian women game developers, the hostile experiences at work and the coping strategies used by them to deal with gender violence in this environment. The methodology is based on the qualitative research approach, exploratory type, with survey through individual online interview with 10 participants and the analysis was based on the proposals of the discursive practices and production of meanings of Spink (2010). The results showed that women gamedevs of this study follow a profile according to the industry panorama, they are mostly white, inhabit mainly the southeastern region of Brazil and most of them are from the production or arts sectors. All of them experienced gender violence in some way - discrimination, harassment, micro aggressions - during their career, coming from bosses or co-workers. To face and adjust to this adverse scenario, they use survival strategies linked to the effort to normalize violence or protection (mute, refuse and avoid, adapt the work, support network...) and other strategies are more related to resistance and change (speak and impose, wear turban to be seen, therapy, support network among women, conscious management...). They also emphasized the need for individual (people, men) and collective (educational institutions, companies, media/social networks) modifying actions that should be taken by the industry with a focus on incentive, reception and permanence of girls and women in technologies and development, as well as in increasing their participation in decision-making (CEO) positions and in the education of men and dev community towards awareness of privileges and prejudices. Finally, it is expected that this work will contribute to expand our knowledge about gender, work, game development and coping strategies, but mainly to encourage future research, projects and actions that focus on solutions so that this scenario becomes more inclusive and suitable for underrepresented groups.
