Esta Dissertação de Mestrado em Serviço Social tem como objetivo fazer uma reflexão sobre a prática interdisciplinar entre assistentes e psicólogos que atuam nos Centros de Referência de Assistência Social do município de Abaetetuba. O Município está localizado á aproximadamente 80 km da capital do Estado do Pará e tem aproximadamente 139.000 habitantes, conforme o último censo IBGE. Desde 2005 vem implementando as diretrizes da Política Nacional de Assistência Social de 2004. A Nova Política Nacional de Assistência Social, por meio de suas diretrizes e principais objetivos visa a consolidação dos processos de descentralização da gestão. Institui um novo modelo organização dos serviços socioassistenciais, unificando conceitos e procedimentos em todo território nacional através do Sistema Único de Assistência Social que, por sua vez, estabelece padrões para a execução dos serviços, para a qualidade no atendimento, e define indicadores de avaliação e resultado. A interdisciplinaridade ainda é considerada um conceito em construção, entretanto nesta realidade configura-se como uma relação de reciprocidade de mutualidade que pressupõe uma atitude diferente a ser assumida frente aos problemas de conhecimento, isto é substituir a concepção fragmentária pela unitária do ser humano. Esta atitude, não poderá ser preconceituosa, mas aberta onde todo conhecimento torna-se importante, pode ser fundamentada na intersubjetividade e interação entre os saberes, mas não pode estar desligada do contexto onde ela ocorre. A atuação prática interdisciplinar no Centro de Referência de Assistência Social, bem como em outros programas projetos e serviços desta política é incentivada, mas na realidade do município aqui pesquisado observou-se que existem muitos obstáculos e desafios para o exercício desta prática. Desde o não cumprimento das normatizações que regulamentam a Política de Assistência Social até a superação das condições precárias nas relações de trabalho, tanto no que diz respeito ao vínculo, quanto às condições físicas e materiais dos espaços, passando pela necessidade de implementação de gestão voltada a qualificação e valorização dos recursos humanos inseridos no SUAS.

O presente trabalho identificou a resiliência, enquanto processo de enfrentamento, superação e fortalecimento, presente na atuação profissional dos assistentes sociais, mostrando que esta pode ser utilizada como instrumental teórico-metodológico que tem a Garantia de Direitos como importante mecanismo de proteção para bloquear fatores de risco. Desta forma, a resiliência enquanto instrumental teórico-metodológico poderá dar suporte às teorias do Serviço Social, no que se refere à intervenção e avaliação, por meio da mediação entre mecanismos de risco e proteção, facilitando a ação-reflexão-ação.

Background Oral lichen planus is a chronic immune-mediated disease with an estimated prevalence of 0.5-2.5% in the general population. Patients with oral lichen planus are often emotionally unstable and anxious and may develop concomitant systemic disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate emotional characteristics of patients with oral lichen planus.Methods Two groups were studied: the first group consisted of 48 patients with a diagnosis of oral lichen planus, and the second group consisted of controls without the disease matched for age and gender at a proportion of 1 : 1. The emotional state of the patients was evaluated using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, SF-36 generic quality of life questionnaire, and the Self Reporting Questionnaire-20.Results and conclusions The present investigation demonstrated the presence of anxiety and depression in patients with oral lichen planus and a negative impact of the disorder on the patient's quality of life as indicated by impairment of the physical aspect, vitality, mental health, and social aspect domains. This could indicate that associated psychological treatment may be important in the follow-up of these patients.

The present study assesses the effects of a semi-structured intervention held exclusively with mothers and its effects on internalizing problems, social skills of children, and positive and negative parenting practices. The single subject experimental design with three participants was adopted. The three mothers had, in baseline, children diagnosed with internalizing and externalizing problems. The instruments used were CBCL, RE-HSE-P, QRSH-Pais and PHQ-9, they were performed in baseline, pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments. The intervention held is characterized as semi-structured for it promotes the development of parental practices that are considered positive by the literature on behavior problems, however, contingently to the difficulties and demands of each case. The number of sessions performed for each case was 14, 15 and 17, which lasted about two hours each. The data were analyzed according to the instruments' norms and under the perspective of each singular case. The results found include remission of internalizing problems, increase in frequency of the children's social skills, increase in frequency of positive parental practices, and decrease in variability of negative parental practices. All the improvements were maintained on the six months follow-up, with the exception of variability on the negative parental practices of one client. Results are discussed in a context of mental health promotion and indicate the need for strategies to prevent internalizing problems in children.

Abstract This paper analyzed the changing livelihood strategies in Kenya, and their cultural impacts via a literature review. I then combined this understanding with the data I collected while in Kenya to examine the opinions local people have of community conservation initiatives, based on their changing livelihood strategies. I expected to find that the following factors would have an affect on the opinions local community members have of community conservation initiatives: livelihood strategy, gender, ethnicity, whether or not they believe the distribution of benefits coming from wildlife conservation is equitable, what issues they would like to see improved within community conservation initiatives, and their overall satisfaction with community conservation initiatives. Through correlation tests done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Scientists) I found that all five of these factors do influence the perceptions local community members have of community conservation initiatives within the Amboseli region in Kenya.

The use of patient-orientated questionnaires is of utmost importance in assessing the outcome of spine surgery. Standardisation, using a common set of outcome measures, is essential to aid comparisons across studies/in registries. The Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) is a short, multidimensional outcome instrument validated for patients with spinal disorders. This study aimed to produce a Brazilian-Portuguese version of the COMI. A cross-cultural adaptation of the COMI into Brazilian-Portuguese was carried out using established guidelines. 104 outpatients with chronic LBP (> 3 months) were recruited from a Public Health Spine Medical Care Centre. They completed a questionnaire booklet containing the newly translated COMI, and other validated symptom-specific questionnaires: Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Roland Morris disability scale (RM), and a pain visual analogue scale. All patients completed a second questionnaire within 7-10 days to assess reproducibility. The COMI summary score displayed minimal floor and ceiling effects. On re-test, the responses for each individual domain of the COMI were within 1 category in 98% patients for the domain 'function', 96% for 'symptom-specific well-being', 97% for 'general quality of life', 99% for 'social disability' and 100% for 'work disability'. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC2,1) for COMI pain and COMI summary scores were 0.91-0.96, which compared favourably with the corresponding values for the RM (ICC, 0.99) and ODI (ICC, 0.98). The standard error of measurement for the COMI was 0.6, giving a "minimum detectable change" (MDC95%) of approximately 1.7 points i.e., the minimum change to be considered "real change" beyond measurement error. The COMI scores correlated as hypothesised (Rho, 0.4-0.8) with the other symptom-specific questionnaires. The reproducibility of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the COMI was comparable to that of other language versions. The COMI scores correlated in the expected manner with existing but longer symptom-specific questionnaires suggesting good convergent validity for the COMI. The Brazilian-Portuguese COMI represents a valuable tool for Brazilian study-centres in future multicentre clinical studies and surgical registries.
