Dancers experience daily pain that impacts their health, but the pain is mediated by coping with pain. We elaborated the Scale of Coping with Pain for Dancers (COPAIN-Dancer) based on the Motivational Theory of Coping with 12 categories of coping. This study presents the validity of the COPAIN-Dancer. The content analysis conducted judges reduced 118 items to 35, that were then administered to 386 Brazilian dancers between 10 and 19 years old (M=15.35; SD=3.36). Applying the Exploratory Factor Analysis, a low correlation resulted among the items that represent the 12 coping categories. However, after conducting Item Response Theory and Network Analysis, we obtained two factors: Adaptive Coping and Maladaptive Coping. The COPAIN-DANCER shows reliability and can be used in adolescent dancers.

Les danseurs vivent chaque jour dans une douleur qui a un impact sur leur santé, mais ils sont médiés par le processus d’adaptation. Pour accéder à ce processus, nous avons élaboré l’Échelle d’Adaptation à la Douleur pour les Danseurs (COPAIN-DANCER), basée sur la Motivational Theory of Coping, avec 12 familles de coping. Cette étude présente le COPAIN-Dancer et ses preuves de validité. L’analyse de contenu par les juges a réduit 118 items à 35, qui ont été administrés à 386 danseurs brésiliens avec 10-19 ans (M= 15.35; SD= 3.36). En appliquant l’analyse factorielle exploratoire, une faible corrélation est apparue parmi les items qui représentent les 12 familles. Cependant, grâce à la Théorie de la Réponse à l’item et à l’analyse du réseau, nous avons obtenu deux facteurs: Adaptative et Maladaptive Coping. La COPAIN-Dancer fait preuve de fiabilité et peut être indiqué aux danseurs adolescents.

Los bailarines viven diariamente con dolores que afectan su salud, pero que son mediados por el proceso de afrontamiento. Este estudio presenta la Escala de afrontamiento del dolor para bailarines (COPAIN-Dancer), basado en la Motivational Theory of Coping, y sus evidencias de validez. Jueces evaluaron 118 ítems a su validez de contenido. Los ítems se redujeron a 35 y se administraron a 386 bailarines entre 10-19 años (M=15.35; DE=3.36). Aplicando análisis factorial exploratorio (EPT), se dio una baja correlación entre los ítems que representan a las 12 familias de afrontamiento teorizadas. Sin embargo, utilizando la Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem y Análisis de Redes, se obtuvo dos factores: Afrontamiento Adaptativo y Afrontamiento Maladaptivo. El COPAIN-Dancer muestra fiabilidad, y puede ser utilizado en bailarines adolescentes.

Os bailarinos convivem diariamente com dores que afetam sua saúde, mas mediados pelo processo de coping. Este estudo apresenta a Escala de Coping da Dor para Bailarinos (COPAIN-Dancer), baseada na Motivational Theory of Coping, e suas evidências de validade. Os juízes avaliaram 118 itens quanto à validade de conteúdo. Os itens foram reduzidos para 35 e aplicados a 386 bailarinos entre 10 e 19 anos (M = 15.35; SD= 3.36). Aplicando a análise fatorial exploratória (AFE), foi encontrada uma baixa correlação entre os elementos que representam 12 famílias de coping teoricamente embasadas. Entretanto, pela Teoria da Resposta ao Item e Análise de Rede, foram obtidos dois fatores: Coping Adaptativo e Coping Mal Adaptativo. O COPAIN-Dancer mostra confiabilidade e pode ser indicado para dançarinos adolescentes.

In this study, the concentration and morphological characteristics of inhalable particulate material (PM10) were evaluated and associated with climatic conditions. The mean annual concentration was 11.0 µg m−3, varying between 0,647 µg m−3 and 36.8 µg m−3. Wind speed has a higher influence on PM10 dispersion, but direction was associated with particle source. During the wet period, wind speed is the main dispersion factor, while speed and direction both are important during the dry period. Based on the morphological characteristics, it is concluded that biogenic particles prevail during the rainy season and terrigenous particles during the dry period, depending on the wind direction and intensity.
