Patterns of alcohol use between genders: A cross-cultural evaluation

Introduction: Alcohol use by men and women is very much influenced by social habits and customs. Cultural peculiarities and biological differences between the sexes require more focused and standardized studies. The objective was to systematize information on patterns of alcohol use between the sexes.Method: A literary review (1972-2004) identified 96 publications (Lilacs, Scielo, Medline) and some related books.Results and conclusions: Men drank more and presented more problems (legal, family, social, clinical, traumas and mortality) associated with alcohol use; the consequences of alcohol use in developing countries with low death rates is even higher. Women can face more discrimination by using alcohol as well as worse health problems when they abuse drinking (liver, pancreas, and central and peripheral nervous system problems, psychiatric comorbidity, etc.); sexual abuse is more commonly associated with women than discussing the different responses to treatment. As for social roles/responsibilities exercised by women, there are indications that marriage, employment, and children have a good influence, discouraging alcohol use, while divorce, unemployment, and no children contribute to higher consumption. For both sexes, religion was a protective factor for alcohol use; acculturation was a strong influence in the pattern of alcohol use, and alcohol worsened the evolution of existing psychiatric disorders.

Tratamento do transtorno de pânico com terapia psicodramática de grupo

INTRODUÇÃO/OBJETIVOS: Há poucos trabalhos publicados sobre psicoterapia grupal para pacientes com transtorno de pânico (TP); além disso, esses estudos geralmente são restritos a abordagens cognitivo-comportamentais. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar uma experiência de atendimento psicoterápico psicodramático grupal para portadores de TP, iniciada em 1996 na Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu/Unesp, e discutir aspectos psicodinâmicos desse transtorno. MÉTODOS: Atende-se uma média de oito a dez pacientes em sessões mensais de duas horas de duração, nas quais se utilizam técnicas psicodramáticas. O uso associado de psicofármacos é a regra. A temática é aberta, centrando-se tanto em aspectos próprios do TP (sintomas mais comuns; peregrinação em serviços médicos até o diagnóstico; preocupações hipocondríacas; limitações e dependência; reações dos familiares; estratégias de exposição e enfrentamento; efeitos e reações dos medicamentos) quanto em problemas individuais específicos. RESULTADOS: A abordagem psicodramática favorece a identificação e a elaboração de aspectos psicodinâmicos. Entre estes, destacaram-se os sentimentos de desamparo e seus desdobramentos: insegurança; fragilidade e medo; raiva e culpa; sentimentos de desamor e rejeição; vergonha e inferioridade; isolamento e dificuldade de pedir ajuda; dificuldade de identificar e de expressar sentimentos - manifestados somaticamente -; e dificuldade de assumir o papel de cuidador e outras responsabilidades. CONCLUSÕES: Aspectos valiosos para o tratamento do TP, como apoio mútuo, companheirismo, confiança, modelo e estímulo, são favorecidos pelo contexto grupal homogêneo. O compartilhar de experiências e sofrimentos comuns propiciou rápida coesão e suporte grupal, melhora da capacidade de expressar sentimentos e da auto-estima e o aprimoramento de papéis sociais. Além da melhora dos sintomas, possibilitou-se a melhor compreensão e elaboração destes, que passam a ser integrados significativamente no contexto existencial.

Relações de gênero na escola: feminilidade e masculinidade na Educação Infantil

The text aims to refl ect about masculinity and femininity in children’s education, an almost entirely feminine environment, bringing fi ndings of a study that investigated the social relations of gender in this level of teaching in a school where a man worked as a teacher. Data was composed by observations of pedagogical practices of a woman teacher and a man teacher of Early Childhood Education. After that, those teachers, the pedagogical coordinator, the headmaster and a nursery worker were interviewed. Based on theoretical contributions about culture and gender, the paper shows that the masculine and the feminine identities and social roles for both sexes, historically, are human constructions that can be modifi ed, especially at school.

O gênero nas ciências da saúde: produção e reprodução de concepções sobre a diferença entre homens e mulheres

The historical and social process has built models of masculinity and femininity that culminate in standards and norms to be followed by individuals in their social interactions. In recent decades studies based on the discussions that originated in the feminist movement have been investigating how social institutions, including medicine and other health sciences, have established standards of masculinity and femininity throughout the history, nurturing this sexist discourse on common sense and sciences. Social roles are assigned to the genera specifying rigid boundaries of behavior and social control. The notion of the female predisposition to physical and emotional disorders has prompted speculation within academic strands culminating in the creation of specialized medical illness that would prevent the female, the male permeated by notions of endurance and strength has become synonymous of a healthy body, confirming the male domination and the economic and political role of men. This research concerned to study and investigate through semi-structured interviews and content analysis, conceptions of gender and the differences between men and women in reports of 11 health professionals. The results indicate that in large part the conceptions of health professionals reproduce the hegemonic discourse about what being a man and woman. Further research could investigate the relationship between women and men with health care as well the care provided by health professionals
