Efeito de instruções e de treino parental sobre comportamentos observados em cuidadores e em crianças com câncer durante sessão de punção venosa para quimioterapia ambulatorial

Os procedimentos invasivos recorrentes no tratamento do câncer na criança têm-se mostrado o momento de maior sofrimento tanto para o paciente quanto para o cuidador. Durante estes procedimentos, como no caso da punção venosa, grande parte das crianças apresenta reações caracterizadas como distresse comportamental. Intervenções comportamentais têm sido desenvolvidas com o objetivo de diminuir este distresse, podendo utilizar como agentes os próprios cuidadores das crianças. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos de instrução e de treino parental sobre comportamentos observados em cuidadores e em crianças com diagnóstico de câncer durante procedimento de punção venosa em ambulatório. Foram selecionados nove cuidadores de crianças em tratamento quimioterápico em um hospital especializado em Belém-PA. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados: Roteiro de entrevista, Questionário Sociodemográfico, Instrumento de Avaliação das Relações Familiares (Parental Bonding Instrument [PBI]), Child Behavior Checklist (CBLC), Protocolo de observação direta dos comportamentos da criança e do cuidador, Escala de Avaliação Comportamental, Manual de orientação para cuidadores sobre punção venosa em crianças e Protocolo de treino parental. Os participantes foram submetidos a uma dentre três condições: (1) Rotina, (2) Manual de Orientação ou (3) Treino Parental. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista e de quatro sessões de observação direta do comportamento. Os comportamentos das crianças foram classificados como concorrentes e não concorrentes. Os comportamentos dos cuidadores foram classificados como monitoria positiva, monitoria negativa e negligência. Os resultados sugerem que, na Condição Rotina, os participantes (cuidadores) não variaram seus comportamentos ao longo das sessões, com dois participantes mantendo alta frequência de comportamentos negligentes e um participante mantendo monitoria positiva. Na Condição Manual, observou-se mudança de comportamento em dois cuidadores como efeito imediato à utilização do manual, mas não em longo prazo. Na Condição 3, na qual os cuidadores foram submetidos ao Protocolo de treino parental, observou-se aumento na frequência de monitoria positiva em curto e longo prazo. Com relação às crianças, os resultados indicaram maior frequência de comportamentos não concorrentes, independente da condição a que o cuidador foi submetido. A maioria dos cuidadores foi classificada no PBI com estilo parental permissivo, confirmando a literatura sobre cuidadores de crianças com doenças crônicas. Ocorreram relatos de generalização das habilidades treinadas para contextos fora do hospital. Conclui-se que o uso do manual aumentou a aquisição de conhecimentos sobre punção venosa mas não foi suficiente para a manutenção de mudança de comportamentos. Por outro lado, o uso de treino parental mostrou-se eficaz na mudança de comportamentos (a longo prazo), assim como no desenvolvimento de novas habilidades sociais. Discute-se a importância do estilo parental como fator de proteção à criança com câncer.

O Modelo Grupo Prático de Deslocamentos em Psicologia e Epistemologia Genéticas e sua Formalização

In this article, we aim to describe and explain what is the model “practical group of displacements”, introduced in 1937 by Piaget’s work La construction du reel chez l’enfant (Neuchâtel, Paris: Delachaux et Niestlé), essential to comprehension of the construction of space. To this end, we introduce the mathematical notation to describe it, we give the meaning of this notation in the child’s behavior and explains the mathematical structure of group underlying the model.

Influência de procedimentos educativos sobre os conceitos de berçários

The duality care-education is an aspect to be considered in the routine of childhood education institutions that have a nursery. The concepts of professionals who work in the nursery interfere with the developed practice, and require great concern regarding the continuing education. The objective of this study was to verify the effects of educational procedures on the concepts related to functions and benefi ts of the nursery for the child – from the professionals who work in a childhood education institution. These professionals were teachers and development assistants from municipal nurseries of Marília, interviewed four times – initially, after each of the two rearing procedures, and six months after the procedures. These procedures consisted of educational workshops, once a week, for one month, and 15 hours of supervised practices in the nursery. Both practices focused on the activities and their benefi ts to the child’s development. We found that the educators’ knowledge comes from common sense, and that educational workshops provided changes on their information levels, which were strengthened by supervised practice. The analysis indicates that the initial and continuing education of professionals need to consider specifi c aspects of child development, so more adequate concepts are built.

Desenvolvimento das habilidade de auto-cuidado em crianças com atraso neuropsicomotor

Introduction: The neuropsicomotor development could be negatively affected by several factors occurred in the pre, peri and pos natal period. The early stimulation is implemented by a set of dynamic activities which aim the child development according to the child’s phase. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the functional skills acquisition in the self care area in children with development delay. Participated of this study 9 caregiver of children aged of 0 to 3 years with delay neuropsicomotor. Method: For the data collect was used the self-care area of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) in the version adapted for Brazil. The data collect was performed in two different stages, with an interval of 6 months between the collects. The raw score were transformed in continuous score by the Rasch statistics, then was applied the Shapiro-Wilk and t-student test. Results: The participants obtained a signifi cant higher score in the second stage than in the fi rst (p<0,01). Conclusion: The results of the present study suggests that the early stimulation could be an important intervention in the process of self-care skills acquisition in children with neuropsicomotor delay.

Criança, Infância e Teoria Histórico-Cultural: convite à reflexão

Strategies used by the children's education teacher for orientation and mobility of the visually impaired student

This study aims to identify, describe, and analyse strategies used by a teacher to support the mobility of students with visual impairment in various school environments. A female student with visual impairment in Brazil, aged 5 years, and her classroom teacher participated in the study. Their interactions were videotaped, and later, their dialogue and actions were transcribed. Six themes of analysis were elaborated, one for each support strategy used by the teacher. The results revealed that the strategies employed by the teacher often hampered the child’s orientation and mobility. This was probably the result of a lack of assistance by professionals specialised in Orientation and Mobility, as stipulated in Brazilian legislation.

Alignment of the CMS tracker with LHC and cosmic ray data

Description and performance of track and primary-vertex reconstruction with the CMS tracker

A description is provided of the software algorithms developed for the CMS tracker both for reconstructing charged-particle trajectories in proton-proton interactions and for using the resulting tracks to estimate the positions of the LHC luminous region and individual primary-interaction vertices. Despite the very hostile environment at the LHC, the performance obtained with these algorithms is found to be excellent. For t (t) over bar events under typical 2011 pileup conditions, the average track-reconstruction efficiency for promptly-produced charged particles with transverse momenta of p(T) > 0.9GeV is 94% for pseudorapidities of vertical bar eta vertical bar < 0.9 and 85% for 0.9 < vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.5. The inefficiency is caused mainly by hadrons that undergo nuclear interactions in the tracker material. For isolated muons, the corresponding efficiencies are essentially 100%. For isolated muons of p(T) = 100GeV emitted at vertical bar eta vertical bar < 1.4, the resolutions are approximately 2.8% in p(T), and respectively, 10 m m and 30 mu m in the transverse and longitudinal impact parameters. The position resolution achieved for reconstructed primary vertices that correspond to interesting pp collisions is 10-12 mu m in each of the three spatial dimensions. The tracking and vertexing software is fast and flexible, and easily adaptable to other functions, such as fast tracking for the trigger, or dedicated tracking for electrons that takes into account bremsstrahlung.

Oralidade e eventos de letramento relacionados à leitura: práticas sociais constitutivas da escrita

This research is the result of a senior research project and longed to verify if the ways of child‘s participation in orality in classroom and the literacy events related to reading would make possible to child construct a discursive relation with the writing. Besides it investigated the conception of 20 teachers from second year from primary school about orality and literacy and also identifies which theory purposes could be discerned in one of these teachers exercise. The methodology used was the qualitative approach, with exploratory- descriptive character, and based in system of references methodological of bibliographic research and collecting of facts research. The corpus of this research constituted in deflagrate element that stimulated the search for methodology answers which could clear the possible essence of set of problems evidenced. The results indicated that the ignorance of some basic conceptions that imbricate in teaching Portuguese language, principally in orality development, reading of writing by some individuals was alarming component parts, since many of them mediate the teachinglearning process of numberless individuals. Considering that orality and literacy play fundamental function in social interactions, this research has the intention to contribute for teacher‘s continuous formation, just as help them in development of students‘ linguistic competences, and elucidate them about the importance of literacy, besides to make public the more recently theoretical subsidies about this subject

A criança de 01 a 03 anos: uma reflexão sobre a evolução da imitação no processo de formação do eu

This investigation aims to observe play contents and elements that make it possible to notice if a child is at the imitation stage. First of all, this study reviews Piaget’s findings about the origins of imitation, and how it develops into representation. After that, “game” is analyzed in order to understand the cognitive representation and how children develop the ability to use symbols. Based on these assumptions, a study was developed into a public school (Profª Maria Teixeira Fittipaldi) with 9 children, aged between 1 to 3. Methodology included the observation of play and activity time; a diary to record the observations; and the analysis of the collected data, based on Piaget’s research into the classification and development of symbolic play. The results show that all observed situations were at the “first stage”, which reveal the apogee of ludic symbolism, and that the kind of game varied according to the child’s age. Moreover, it was possible to notice the importance of symbolic play at preschool, since it triggers world knowledge development and helps interpersonal relationship growth.
