Este estudo teve por objetivos: - descrever as dificuldades nas relações entre as filhas-cuidadoras e suas mães idosas dependentes de cuidados, a partir de relatos das filhas; - investigar, a partir dos relatos da história familiar dessas filhas, a existência de conflitos prévios a necessidade de cuidar, relacionados à construção dos vínculos; identificar os principais desafios associados assistência ao cuidador familiar de idosos no que tange a resolução de conflitos com o idoso dependente. Método – tratou-se de um estudo qualitativo em que foram apresentados três casos clínicos de cuidadoras que haviam sido encaminhados para atendimento psicológico pela equipe multiprofissional de um Instituto de Geriatria e Gerontologia, unidade de atenção secundária da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de S.P. Os resultados indicaram dificuldades relacionais entre ambas: cuidadoras filhas e mães idosas. As cuidadoras revelaram sobrecarga física e emocional e grande sofrimento. Todavia, a existência desses conflitos remontava às relações anteriores à atual situação de dependência; ficando bastante evidenciado, tanto pelas histórias de vida das cuidadoras, quanto pelo conteúdo trazido durante o processo terapêutico, a repetição das relações primeiras estabelecidas entre mãe-filha. O processo psicoterapêutico pôde permitir a essas cuidadoras a compreensão da necessidade em ter suas falhas ambientais supridas, na medida em que foi propiciado um ambiente favorável ao relacionamento humano. Assim, ao observarmos que ao longo do processo as pacientes apresentavam mudanças significativas, entendemos que a psicoterapia pode figurar como meio preventivo e preservação de equilíbrio psíquico.

As IPSS são instituições particulares de solidariedade social. São instituições sem fins lucrativos que, embora não sendo instituições constituídas pelo Estado ou por outro organismo público, podem usufruir do seu apoio. Os seus objetivos visam responder às necessidades da sociedade de uma forma transversal, oferecendo apoio social às famílias, crianças, jovens e idosos e visando a integração e bem-estar da sociedade (Instituto da Segurança Social, 2013). O presente estudo focou-se no âmbito das respostas oferecidas à terceira idade, mais concretamente através do serviço prestado nos centros de convívio. Procurou-se analisar as práticas existentes, identificar as eventuais boas práticas e perceber qual a sua frequência. Em complemento, procurou-se ainda compreender se existe abertura para a mudança e para a inovação na gestão deste tipo de centros. Como metodologia de investigação recorreu-se à elaboração e tratamento de inquéritos feitos aos utentes e técnicos dos centros de convívio do concelho de Barcelos, presentes na Carta Social de Barcelos. Para identificar as boas práticas fez-se um exercício do Benchmarking, ferramenta de gestão que, enquanto instrumento de comparação das Boas Práticas, surge como recurso para comparar e procurar no seio destas instituições as boas práticas (Costa, 2009). O estudo permitiu concluir que existe comunicação entre as diferentes instituições, havendo entre algumas delas um efetivo trabalho em rede com vista a melhorar o desempenho e as respostas que podem ser oferecidas. A satisfação dos utentes dos centros permitiu ainda concluir que existem efetivamente boas práticas e que essas boas práticas são também reconhecidas no seio de outros centros, sendo adaptadas à realidade dos mesmos.

In view of the evident increase in the population group of people over 60 years old, the aging process has raised important discussions on social, political and economical planning that recommend that the increase in longevity must be followed by autonomy and well-being. Faced to these demands, the literature reports that physical activity is a key strategy to promote better living conditions for the elderly. Studies about personenvironment are making efforts to understand the socio physical environment role to encourage old people to make activities in many different environments. Among these, the urban public open space has been reported by many researches as a promising alternative in order to adopt a less sedentary life style. Based on these considerations, this study proposed to investigate the relationship between the social environment support elements and social interaction of seniors in public squares in the city of Natal, RN, using a multimethodological approach that included a experts panel, environmental characteristics analysis of 252 squares, case studies containing collective and individual interviews with elderly users and the spatial representation of their social interactions. The association between physical activities with the socialization practiced by them was identified as the main motivation for their presence in these places. The results indicate that the relationship between the socio-environmental characteristics (concept developed in this study) and the socio-spatial behaviors that include the spatial appropriation, spatial arrangements and interpersonal distances, helps to promote social interactions in carrying out activities, which, according to the assumptions Active Ageing Program, enable the maintenance of an active way of life, with important implications for health, wellness and quality of life in old age

Childhood and adolescence care has frequently caused theoretical and methodological discussions. At national level, the way of dealing with this public has always been on the agenda, either by maintaining a paternalistic treatment, or by coercive and repressive expression with which this public is treated. Given the above, this research presents a thorough study of social policies focused on children and adolescents in Brazil, with the overall purpose of investigating how this process of implementation of public policies for poor children and adolescents in the state of Rio Grande do Norte was. In previous studies, it was identified that there are no official records regarding the policy implementation process for this population in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. A retrospective study about the care towards children and adolescents in Brazil was held. It ranged from the XXVIII century, through the period of assistance, until the historical period in which the child started to be considered from the perspective of a policy. Thus, a certain period was framed, so that, through the historical research method, this study could focus on gathering data about the attention focused on childhood and adolescence in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, between the years 1964 and 1988. Data was listed from newspaper files that circulated in the state during period mentioned above. This time framing corresponds to the regency of the National Policy of Child Welfare. In the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the implementation of institutions such as FUNBERN and then FEBEM did not differ from the national standard, since many projects and care programs for poor children and teenagers were executed in this period. The implementation of these institutions revealed the concern of the state in solving the problem of “minors” regarding to situations of abandonment or "delinquency" which they were involved with. However, the kind of protection provided by the state toward this population was based on the current ideology that supported the political system at the time: the military dictatorship. Thus, the main way to provide care to this population was through its institutionalization, through taking children to daycare centres and adolescents to “reeducational” institutes for “minors”.

Voice disorders (VD) in the elderly can interfere negatively in communication, emotional well-being and quality of life, conditions that correspond to greater exposure to illness and social isolation bringing consequent economic impact for the health system. It is assumed that institutionalized confinement, weakness and morbidity associated to nursing home (NH) contribute to transform VD an especially prevalent condition in institutionalized elderly, including those without cognitive impairment. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of VD in NH elderly residents without cognitive impairment. There is no epidemiological diagnostic instruments of VD for elderly populations, so the first step of this study was dedicated to prepare and analyze the psychometric properties of a short, inexpensive and easy to use questionnaire named Screening for Voice Disorders in Older Adults (Rastreamento de Alterações Vocais em Idosos—RAVI). The methodological procedures of this step followed the guidelines of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and contemplated validity evidence based on test content, based on response processes, based on internal structure and based on relations with other variables, as well as reliability analysis and clinical consistency. The result of the validation process showed that the RAVI final score generate valid and reliable interpretations for the epidemiological diagnosis of VD in the elderly, which endorsed the use of the questionnaire in the second stage of the study, performed in ten NH located in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. At this stage, data from socioeconomic and demographic variables, lifestyle, general health conditions and characterization of the institution were collected. It was performed a bivariate analysis and it was calculated the prevalence ratio as a magnitude association measure, with a confidence interval of 95%. The variables with p-value less than 0.20 were included in the multiple logistic regression model that followed the Forward selection method. The odds ratio found in the multivariate model was converted into prevalence ratio and the level of significance was 5%. The sample consisted of 117 subjects with predominance of females and average of 79.68 (± 7.92) years old. The prevalence of VD was 39.3% (95% CI: 30.4-48.1%). The multivariate model showed statistically significant association between VD and depressive symptoms, smoking for a year or more and selfreported hearing loss. In conclusion, VD is a prevalent health condition in NH elderly residents without cognitive impairment and is associated with factors involving psychosocial, lifestyle and communicative disability that require attention of managers and professionals involved with NH environment. Strategies to encourage communication and social integration, actions to combat smoking and minimizing the effects of hearing loss could stimulate the physical well-being, emotional and mental health of institutionalized elderly population, contributing to the vocal and communicative maintenance, a more effective social inclusion and better overall health condition.

Objective: Identify preventive self-care practices and analyze the configurations of the network support for women with and without breast cancer registered in a mammography-monitoring project from Porto Alegre/Brazil.Method: a mixed sequential delimitation was performed, which expanded the results of the quantitative step (cross and correlation section) in a qualitative step (narrative interviews). 37 women diagnosed with breast cancer (group 1) and 72 without this diagnosis (group 2 – monitoring) participated. The following instruments were used: Assessment Questionnaire Self-care Ability (ASA-A) and Assessment Questionnaire Perceived Social Support and Community. There were performed descriptive analysis and comparison of means (t test and ANOVA) between the two groups. To deepen the understanding of the data, we selected four women with breast cancer with extreme levels on the scale of Social Support to participate in the biographical narrative interviews.Results: the analysis indicate that women who had breast cancer have better self-care practices than the women from the monitoring project (t = 1.791, P = 0.027). As for the analysis of social support, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. All participants have an average level of perceived social and community support. It was highlighted by the qualitative data that it was after the diagnosis of breast cancer that women lived self-care aspects they had not previously experienced.Conclusions: the self-care was significantly bigger in the group of women with breast cancer, where the cancer diagnosis was a trigger to increase self-care.

A intranquilidade sentida ao nível do contexto de trabalho ou do bem-estar emocional dos assistentes sociais traduz o facto destes profissionais se terem tornado no rosto mais próximo das políticas de controlo das desigualdades e da exclusão, resultantes de todo um conjunto de factores que leva ao aumento da insegurança nos quotidianos de vida da população socialmente mais vulnerável. Com este estudo, de natureza exploratória, pretendeu demonstrar-se que o crescimento das incertezas e da violência, que singularizam a sociedade do risco, está a produzir alterações na relação do assistente social com o seu exercício profissional. A relação circular que tradicionalmente suportava o relacionamento instituído entre o indivíduo, instituição e assistente social deu origem à sua triangulação, assumindo o profissional, uma função quer de mediador, quer de gestor de interesses. Esta mesma transformação na qualidade da relação criada entre o assistente social e o utente, gera um exercício profissional praticado em tensão face ao medo controlado, ou não, das reacções menos esperadas de quem manifesta descontentamento em relação às medidas apresentadas pelos assistentes sociais, por via das instituições onde trabalham. Tendo o Serviço Social, desde o seu passado histórico, desenvolvido uma relação de trabalho muito próxima com grupos de risco e/ou perigo, nunca foi considerada uma profissão de risco. Contudo, face aos níveis de insegurança que actualmente cromatizam o habitat do exercício profissional dos assistentes sociais, a sua actividade profissional começa a manifestar sintomas de transformação numa profissão com riscos.

Explorar a qualidade de vida de jovens com deficiência mental permite abrir caminhos de reflexão em relação às políticas sociais, aos constrangimentos das instituições e à acção dos profissionais, nomeadamente dos Assistentes Sociais. O conceito de qualidade de vida adoptado abrange oito dimensões consideradas fundamentais: o bem-estar físico e emocional, as relações interpessoais, a inclusão social, o desenvolvimento pessoal, o bem- -estar material, a auto-determinação e os direitos. O objectivo do estudo consistiu em avaliar a qualidade de vida de jovens com deficiência mental ligeira, através da análise comparativa entre dois grupos: um vivendo em contexto familiar e outro em contexto institucional. O estudo é de natureza exploratória, sendo a amostra constituída por vinte e quatro jovens, com idades compreendidas entre os dezasseis e os vinte anos. A informação foi recolhida mediante uma entrevista estruturada, com base num questionário previamente testado. Independentemente do seu contexto de vida, estes jovens revelam uma boa percepção da sua condição física e do seu grau de autonomia e de felicidade. Estão satisfeitos com as pessoas com quem se relacionam em contexto de trabalho e atribuem níveis semelhantes de importância e satisfação relativamente ao seu salário. Os jovens que vivem em contexto familiar consideram que têm mais condições de privacidade e de conforto e que são mais independentes, confiam mais nas suas capacidades, consideram mais importante o direito à diferença, revelam-se mais críticos quanto ao local e às regras do trabalho e estão mais satisfeitos em todas as áreas previstas. Os jovens que vivem em contexto institucional têm uma percepção mais negativa das relações que estabelecem com pessoas próximas. Na globalidade, os jovens que vivem em contexto familiar têm uma percepção mais positiva da sua qualidade de vida do que os que vivem em contexto institucional. É evidente a necessidade de realização de outros estudos que permitam conhecer melhor esta realidade, pois só assim será possível encaminhar a acção dos Assistentes Sociais no sentido da construção de um futuro melhor para todos.

Objetivo. Devido ao aumento da esperança de vida, os adultos com necessidades especiais vivem mais tempo, sendo os seus principais cuidadores, geralmente familiares, também mais envelhecidos. Tal situação representa novas necessidades específicas de apoio, sendo inúmeros os desafios colocados ao Serviço Social no sentido de garantir o bem-estar da pessoa com incapacidade e dos seus cuidadores. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo realizar um levantamento das necessidades de apoio e a caraterização da rede social pessoal de apoio do cuidador informal de adultos com necessidades especiais. Participantes. A amostra é constituída por 40 cuidadores informais de adultos com necessidades especiais, integrados na resposta social “Centro de Atividades Ocupacionais-CAO” da Associação de Paralisia Cerebral de Coimbra, de ambos os sexos com idade igual ou superior a 40 anos. Material e métodos. Foi utilizado o Instrumento de Avaliação da Rede Social Pessoal e um questionário para caracterização sociodemográfica e sociofamiliar dos cuidadores, assim como para avaliação de necessidades. Resultados. Aproximadamente um terço dos cuidadores relatou a experiência de níveis moderados de sobrecarga associada à prestação de cuidados, enquanto mais de metade relatou a experiência de níveis elevados e muito elevados dessa sobrecarga; o apoio financeiro foi referido como a forma de apoio mais necessária no presente, ainda que o apoio em residência tenha sido percecionado por cerca de um terço dos cuidadores como a forma de apoio mais necessária no futuro; enquanto mais de metade considerou o apoio domiciliário e de unidade residencial (institucional). Estes cuidadores familiares referiram a "incerteza" e a "esperança" como os sentimentos mais frequentemente experienciados em relação ao futuro das suas vidas. No que respeita às redes sociais, as relações familiares são centrais a nível estrutural; em termos de caraterísticas funcionais da rede, foram observados valores mais elevados para as dimensões de reciprocidade do apoio e satisfação com a rede social. Implicações. Este estudo sublinha a importância da avaliação das necessidades de apoio dos cuidadores familiares de adultos com necessidades especiais. A sua implementação sistemática pode auxiliar a tomada de decisão baseada na evidência empírica para as intervenções do Serviço Social, tais como na planificação e gestão de respostas e serviços sociais, a par do reconhecimento e ativação dos recursos das próprias famílias, de forma a promover a eficiência dos recursos e eficácia das intervenções, focadas no bem-estar do cidadão com deficiência e das suas famílias. / Aim. The general increase in human life expectancy has resulted in greater rates of survival for adults with special care needs, as well as for their ageing family caregivers. This situation poses different and specific support needs, which represent a major challenge in social work interventions aimed at ensuring the well-being of disabled persons and their caregivers. Therefore, this study was aimed to describe the needs for support and the perceived social support network of family caregivers of adults with special care needs. Participants. The sample for this study comprised 40 family caregivers of disabled adults with special care needs, of both genders and aged 40 years old at minimum, who attended a long-term care facility at Coimbra Cerebral Palsy Association. Material and methods. Participants were administered a self-report questionnaire on socio-economic, family and caregiving needs, along with the Instrument for Assessing Personal Social Networks. Results. Nearly one third a family caregivers experienced moderate caregiving burden, while more than half experienced high or very high levels of caregiving burden; financial support was perceived as the most needed form of support in the present, but residential home care was identified as the most needed form of support in the future; while more than a half considered home-based support and residential support viable options for their disabled family members with special care needs. These family caregivers reported "uncertainty" and "hope" as the most common feelings towards their family life in the future. On the topic of social networks, family relations were found to be crucial at the structural level; in terms of functional characteristics of the network, elevated scores were observed for reciprocity of support and satisfaction with the social network. Implications. This study highlights the importance of increasing the specificity of the assessments of needs for support in family caregivers of disabled adults with special care needs. The systematic conduction of these assessments may assist evidence-based decision making in social work interventions, such as for planning and managing social services, acknowledging and activating the families' own resources, and ultimately promote the efficacy and effectiveness 57 interventions aimed at improving the well-being of disabled citizens and their families.

The present thesis aimed at understanding how the insertion of music in the work environment contributes to achieving Quality of Work Life. - QWL, under the perspective of biopsychosocial and organizational well-being. As to music insertion we considered the theoretical-empirical perception about how music is inserted at work and its functions on such place. The context where the study was taken was the manufacturing area of a major textile company, located in Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, in which music is used during labor activities. The only study case was the research strategy adopted, with exploratory and descriptive purposes. The primary data were collected through the focus group technique, applied to the collaborator in the manufacturing sector. The semi-structured interview was done as a complementary tool, directed to the supervisor in that sector. Respecting the theoretical saturation criterion, we formed four focus groups, each one composed of eight members randomly selected, among the seventy-six collaborators in the sector. The data were analyzed qualitatively, through the content analysis technique, more specifically the category analysis. We identified twenty-eight QWL attributes. Six of them were found present in the four focus groups and in the interview. Among these ones, the attribute of Interpersonal Relationship at Work, contemplating the Psychological and Organizational dimensions, was the only one anticipated in four out of fifteen theoretical models here listed. The attribute Music at Work Environment could be inserted in the four QWL dimensions, highlighting the power and relevance of this attribute for the research participants. The way music has been inserted in the labor environment contributes to promoting well-being at work, which goes against theoretical conceptions, especially when it comes to musical genre. We identified nine functions of music at work, among which, Improving Work Conditions, Improving Interpersonal Relationship at Work and Favoring Motivation for Work had to be emphasized for being associated to three QWL attributes. In the total, we highlighted seven associations. The most affected QWL dimension through the insertion of music at work was the Psychological one, followed by the Organizational one. We conclude that music insertion provides biological, social and, above all, psychological and organizational well-being to the contributors, thus contributing to obtaining QWL at the labor environment researched. However, we should consider the context and proceed to periodical plans and adjustments in the way of music insertion so as to avoid health and well-being problems to those people at work

As crescentes exigências ao nível da qualidade e segurança alimentar e as preocupações que, actualmente, a sociedade manifesta relativamente aos recursos naturais e ambiente em geral, obrigam à adopção de modos de produção alternativos aos sistemas produtivistas, nos quais se enquadra a produção integrada. Em produção integrada produzem-se alimentos de alta qualidade utilizando os recursos naturais e mecanismos de regulação natural em substituição de factores de produção prejudiciais ao ambiente. Assumem particular importância a preservação e melhoria da fertilidade do solo, a biodiversidade e a observação de critérios éticos e sociais. Assume-se como princípios a abordagem holística da exploração agrícola, o ecossistema agrícola como base para o planeamento e realização das actividades na exploração de forma a evitar impactes ambientais, o equilíbrio dos ciclos nutritivos e a preservação do bem estar de todas as espécies animais domésticas. O manual técnico de Produção Integrada, inserido no projecto «Agricultura e Ambiente», pretende disponibilizar informação junto dos operadores, produtores agrícolas, técnicos, empresas comerciais e de certificação, relativa a este modo de produção. Abordam-se aspectos relacionados com os compromissos estabelecidos nas políticas agro-ambientais, com os princípios e soluções técnicas a adoptar nos componentes da produção e da exploração, responsáveis pelas perturbações ambientais que se pretendem reduzir. Apresentam-se, a título de exemplo, propostas de itinerários técnicos de produção integrada para culturas de relevo no Entre Douro e Minho: vinha, milho forragem e hortícolas.
