Determinantes do bem-estar subjetivo na pessoa idosa

Introdução: O Bem-Estar Subjetivo, enquadrado no âmbito da intervenção da Psicologia positiva, refere-se à experiência individual e subjetiva da avaliação da vida, e inclui variáveis como a satisfação com a vida e a vivência de afetos positivos em detrimento dos afetos negativos. Considerando que o bem-estar subjetivo está associado à saúde e longevidade, o objetivo central deste estudo consiste em analisar o modo como determinadas variáveis de contexto sociodemográfico, familiar, clínico e psicossocial se revelam preditoras do bem-estar subjectivo em idosos institucionalizados versus não institucionalizados. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo de natureza quantitativa, descritivo-correlacional e transversal, com recurso a uma amostra não probabilística, acidental e por conveniência, composta por 116 idosos, 58 não institucionalizados e 58 institucionalizados, maioritariamente do género feminino (60,3%), viúvos (42,3%), com uma média de idades de 77,73 anos (Dp=9,276). O instrumento de colheita de dados incorporou uma ficha de caraterização sociodemográfica, situacional, familiar (Escala de Apgar Familiar), clínico – funcional (Índice de Barthel) e a avaliação do Bem-Estar Subjetivo (Escala de Satisfação com a vida e a Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos). Resultados: Constatamos que, os idosos não institucionalizados apresentam níveis de BES mais elevados face aos idosos institucionalizados (p=0,023), com maior significância estatística na dimensão afetiva. Em relação aos determinantes do BES objetivou-se que, são os idosos “mais jovens” (p=0,015), do género masculino (p=0,000), com nível de escolaridade mais elevado (p=0,032), inseridos em famílias funcionais (p=0,010), que percecionam melhor estado de saúde (p=0,000) e que são mais autónomos na realização das suas ABVD’s (p=0,000) a apresentar níveis de bem-estar subjetivo mais elevado. Conclusão: As evidências encontradas neste estudo revelaram a existência de fatores determinantes na perceção do BES pela pessoa idosa daí a importância de planeamento e implementação de projetos direcionados à manutenção da autonomia, à diminuição das limitações, à maximização de potencialidades individuais, à promoção de relações interpessoais. Neste sentido, atendendo às competências do enfermeiro especialista de enfermagem de reabilitação, seria de extrema importância a incorporação deste profissional especializado nas Instituições e em equipas multidisciplinares de apoio a idosos na Comunidade. Palavras-chave: idoso, Bem – Estar Subjetivo, satisfação com a vida, afetos, determinantes.

Programa pró-equidade de gênero e raça da Prefeitura Municipal de Curitiba: estratégia para superar a divisão sexual de trabalho em uma instituição pública?

The objective of this study was to analyze if the pro equity program of gender and race in the PMC, changed the perception of the servants on the conception of sexual division of labor. The sexual division of labor is the concept that allows identifying and understanding the hierarchical relations (principal of hierarchization) based on the attribution of social and economic value most male occupations in relation female, besides that, considerers the female work‟s secondary and her salary supplement to the family income. And the principle of separation identifying the places occupies by man and woman in the institution (productive, reproductive, and domestic work) agreeing with the historical and social construction that associates woman to occupational sectors like “mastertship”, nursering and social assistance, considered an extension of the family functions like taking care and family affections. And the man is associate to engineer, technology information and occupations related to exact science all professions associate to reason, creating a bias of gender in labor relations. To identify possible inequalities of gender in the work ambiance, I have compared the initial basic duration of some careers, the ascension process to higher positions and the salary that both servants and servers in the PMC. Was also investigated the perception of implements and beneficiaries of the program, over the sexual labor division. The methodology used for conduct the investigation was the qualitative research interpretive character using the structured and semi structured interviewed as instruments of data collect. The interview was divided in two groups, to follow: a) implements of pro-equity program of gender and race and b) professors and engineers beneficiaries. The analyzes of documents provided by the Secretaria de Politícas para as Mulheres da Presidência da República and by the PMC complemented the investigative path of this research. Bring as result a perception of beneficiaries servants and implementing on a policy which provides for cultural changes in the institution and in the management of people. It should be noted that the program foresees that in its objectives identify the discriminatory relations of race, sexual orientation, generation and disable person who were not examined in this study. Factor that enables the continuation of the investigation process and is a suggestion for a future research.

Metodologia do Planeamento em Saúde: Sexualidade na Adolescência

A temática central deste relatório de estágio é a sexualidade na adolescência, área de grande interesse em Saúde Comunitária e contemplada no Plano Nacional de Saúde sendo, também, competência do Enfermeiro Especialista em Saúde Comunitária, o desenvolvimento de projetos em promoção da saúde. O principal objetivo deste relatório consiste em finalizar o ciclo formativo do II Mestrado de Especialização em Enfermagem de Saúde Comunitária, descrevendo e analisando as atividades desenvolvidas em estágio. No âmbito do Planeamento em Saúde foi efetuado um Diagnóstico de Situação que permitiu identificar as necessidades dos adolescentes numa escola da cidade de Portalegre, que serviram de base á realização de um estágio. Definiu-se o objetivo de contribuir para a implementação de atividades no âmbito do Plano Nacional de Saúde Escolar, intervindo sobre as áreas identificadas: Sexualidade e afetos; métodos contracetivos; prevenção de infeções sexualmente transmissíveis e mitos. Identificadas as áreas prioritárias, foram selecionadas estratégias e planeadas e efetuadas sessões de educação para a saúde, em duas escolas da cidade. Estas foram realizadas em turmas, através de metodologia expositiva/interativa e distribuição de panfletos interativos. As intervenções foram avaliadas através de um questionário final, cuja análise permitiu constatar a efetividade das mesmas. Concluímos que a maioria dos adolescentes reconhece a importância de sessões de informação acerca da sexualidade, considerando-se mais informados nesta área, após as atividades desenvolvidas. O estágio contribuiu para o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional da autora, enquanto prestadora de cuidados e como futura Enfermeira Comunitária

Modulation de l’homéostasie lipidique intestinale suite à une intervention en médecine traditionnelle Cri chez un modèle animal d’obésité et de pré-diabète

Introduction : Les taux d’obésité et de diabète de type 2 et leurs complications sont plus élevés chez les populations autochtones que chez la population générale. Une des raisons pour ces taux très élevés de complications est la résistance culturelle des autochtones envers les soins de santé contemporains souvent dus aux traitements culturellement inadéquats pour ces affections. Afin d’adresser cette problématique, l’équipe sur les médecines autochtones antidiabétiques des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (ÉMAAD-IRSC) a étudié 17 plantes de la pharmacopée traditionnelle des Cris de la Nation de la Baie James, dont le peuplier baumier Populus balsamifera. Objectifs : Le but de cette présente étude est d’examiner les effets de P. balsamifera sur les contenus lipidiques de l’intestin ainsi que la composition des protéines clés impliquées dans le métabolisme des lipides. Matériel et méthodes : Les souris étaient assignées à huit semaines de diètes, soit la diète standard (CHOW), une diète à forte teneur lipidique (HFD) ou une HFD avec ajout de 125 mg/kg de Populus balsamifera. Résultats : Les résultats ont montré que les teneurs totales de l’intestin en cholestérol, en phospholipides et en triglycérides ne sont pas influencées par l’absence ou la présence de l’extrait de P. balsamifera. La teneur en acides gras a significativement augmenté dans le traitement HFD comparé au groupe contrôle CHOW. Le traitement avec P. balsamifera a significativement réduit le contenu d’acides gras dans le jéjunum vers des valeurs observées pour la diète contrôle. Une modification non significative a été notée dans l’expression des protéines FAS, CPT-1, ACC-P. Conclusion : Ces résultats renforcent davantage le potentiel d’utilisation de l’extrait de peuplier baumier dans le contexte de forte prévalence d’obésité dans les populations autochtones.

Eficacia de la infiltración de Plasma Rico en Plaquetas (PRP) en pacientes diagnosticados del Síndrome de la Fascia Plantar (SFP) desde el punto de vista clínico y funcional

On the basis of the knowledge that the entheses between the plantar fascia and the calcaneus may exhibit a varied pathology, we considered the need to value the pathological factors by illustrating the anatomical changes in the Plantar Fascia Syndrome (PFS) with easy-to-obtain images which allowed us to substantiate our claims. Accordingly, we analized the anatomical (Orts Llorca, 1977; Llusá, 2007; Sobotta, 2007; Domenech Mateu, 2012; Rodriguez Baeza 2012) and biomechanical (Arandes, 1956; Viladot 1979; Caturla, 2001; Safe, 2001) literature in order to better know the location of the pathology and also to assess the functional reasons that could favor this disease. A study of the affected area by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) revealed the presence of bone affections such as bone edema, subchondral lesions and several other bone pathologies together with fascia intrinsic injuries such as myxoid degeneration, intrasubstance fissures and perifascial edematous lesions (Larroca, 2013; Conejero, 2014). Injuries not properly treated during the acute phase can evolve into chronic processes which, month after month, become ever more difficult to resolve. In addition, as seen throughout this study, there are changes in the anatomical normality of the foot usually associated with pathological conditions of the plantar fascia. Once the pathological aspects of PFS are identified and their location is established, clinical manifestations should be registered in order to define this syndrome. Pain is the main symptom in patients with PFS and is associated, in many occasions, with tightness or stiffness of the plantar area, limited mobility of the arch of the ankle and, inevitably, a progressive functional deterioration. Thus, that sharp and stabbing pain felt when one puts the foot on the floor after a period of rest located in the front lower face of the heel and irradiating and/or projecting to the middle of the sole of the foot would be synonymous with Plantar Fascia Syndrome (PFS)...

The Ultimate Secrecy: Feminist Readings of Masculine Trauma in Vietnam War Literature

It is a widely acknowledged and often unquestioned fact that patriarchy and its modes of behaviour and social organization favour the appearance of trauma on the weakest (and defenceless) members of society: women. In the last decades, trauma seems to have taken the baton of typically female maladies such as 19th c. hysteria or 20th c. madness. Feminists in the 20th c. have long worked to prove the connection between the latter affections (and their reflection in literary texts) and patriarchal oppression or expectations of feminine behaviour and accordance to roles and rules. With Trauma Studies on the rise, the approach to the idea of the untold as related to femininity is manifold: on the one hand, is not trauma, which precludes telling about one’s own experience and keeps it locked not only from the others, but also from ourselves, the ultimate secrecy? On the other hand, when analyzing works that reflect trauma, one is astounded by the high number of them with a female protagonist and an almost all-female cast: in this sense, a ‘feminist’ reading is almost compulsory, in the sense that it is usually the author’s assumption that patriarchal systems of exploitation and expectations favour traumatic events and their outcome (silence and secrets) on the powerless, usually women. Often, traumatic texts combine feminism with other analytical discourses (one of the topics proposed for this panel): Toni Morrison’s study of traumatic responses in The Bluest Eye and Beloved cannot be untangled from her critique of slavery; just as much of Chicana feminism and its representations of rape and abuse (two main agents of trauma) analyze the nexus of patriarchy, new forms of post-colonialism, and the dynamics of power and powerlessness in ethnic contexts. Within this tradition that establishes the secrecies of trauma as an almost exclusively feminine characteristic, one is however faced with texts which have traumatized males as protagonists: curiously enough, most of these characters have suffered trauma through a typically masculine experience: that of war and its aftermath. By analyzing novels dealing with war veterans from Vietnam or the Second World War, the astounding findings are the frequent mixture of masculine or even ‘macho’ values and the denial of any kind of ‘feminine’ characteristics, combined with a very strict set of rules of power and hierarchy that clearly establish who is empowered and who is powerless. It is our argument that this replication of patriarchal modes of domination, which place the lowest ranks of the army in a ‘feminine’ situation, blended with the compulsory ‘macho’ stance soldiers are forced to adopt as army men (as seen, for example, in Philip Caputo’s Indian Country, Larry Heinemann’s Paco’s Story or Ed Dodge’s DAU: A Novel of Vietnam) furthers the onset and seriousness of ulterior trauma. In this sense, we can also analyze this kind of writing from a ‘feminist’ point of view, since the dynamics of über-patriarchal power established at the front at war-time deny any display of elements traditionally viewed as ‘feminine’ (such as grief, guilt or emotions) in soldiers. If trauma is the result of a game of patriarchal empowerment, how can feminist works, not only theoretical, but also fictional, overthrow it? Are ‘feminine’ characteristics necessary to escape trauma, even in male victims? How can feminist readings of trauma enhance our understanding of its dynamics and help produce new modes of interaction that transcend power and gender division as the basis for the organization of society?

Emotional competences and promotion of school success: Preliminary data of an intervention programme with teachers

Teachers’ emotional competences and well-being are fundamentally important to developing and maintaining positive relationships in the classroom, which can contribute to improving pedagogical action. References to several intervention programmes are found in the literature with the purpose of changing the practices, attitudes, and beliefs of teachers, who show evidence of a significant improvement in personal competences and school success. Therefore, an intervention with teachers integrating a broader line of research was carried out, involving parents and students as well. It consists of a programme which promotes personal (well-being and emotional intelligence) and professional (acquiring differentiated pedagogical strategies) competences over a period of six months, followed by a focus group to assess the contribution of an empowerment programme with the intention of promoting school success. The preliminary action-research study involved 10 teachers of two classes with students who show disruptive behaviour in the 7th year in a school in the central region of Portugal. The teachers, of both genders, are aged between 44 and 52, and belong to several recruitment groups. The main research question was: “To what extent does an intervention programme, intended for training, contribute to developing personal and professional competences in teachers of the 3rd cycle of basic education?” The teachers revealed a rather favourable view of their participation in the programme, considering that it helped them perceive some behaviours and practices which are less adjusted to their action in the classroom with these students (shouting, scolding, etc.). From the pretest to the posttest, statistically significant differences were found in assessing their own emotions and in their use. Signs of improvement in positive affections and satisfaction with life were also found, though with a marginal significance. The preliminary data in this empowerment programme for these educational agents points towards the importance of teachers’ awareness in what concerns their pedagogical action, as well as the need to change traditional pedagogical practices that contribute to discouraging students towards learning. The need to establish closer and systematic contact with the students and their families in order to meet their needs and expectations was also highlighted.
