Um estudo piloto sobre os aspectos psicológicos associados a artrite reumatoide

A presente dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Social e da Personalidade caracterizou-se por um Estudo Piloto concernente aos aspectos psicológicos relacionados a Artrite Reumatóide (AR), realizado através de uma investigação exploratória de campo no Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho (HUCFF), Ambulatório de Reumatologia, na qual treze (13) pacientes reumatóides foram entrevista dos. O grupo amostral foi constituído de dez (lO) casos do sexo feminino e três (3) do sexo masculino com diagnóstico apenas desse tipo de patologia. O foco de interesse desta pesquisa foram os aspectos psicológicos que precederam e desempenharam algum tipo de influência no começo e progressão da AR, a partir do ponto de vista psicossomático. Os resultados obtidos parecem evidenciar um background psicodinâmico, uma vez que os relatos de história de vida giraram em torno de temas que sugeriram uma influência parental restritiva na primeira infância; hostilidade e agressividade contidas; inibição; auto-estima baixa; sentimentos de inferioridade e tendência a repressão e controle dos sentimentos. A nível manifesto essas pessoas procuram demonstrar externa mente o oposto do que são ou como se sentem internamente (‘necessidade se serem ativos'). Assim, parece existir uma relação psicodinâmica entre os aspectos somáticos e psíquicos influenciando o processo da Artrite Reumatóide. Os efeitos psicológicos advindos da doença, tais como: grande preocupação acerca do processo da enfermidade em si e de suas consequências; ansiedade gerada pelo desconhecimento parcial do real significado da doença; menor comunicação tanto no meio intra como extra familiar, também foram enfatizados. Os resultados deste estudo não são conclusivos e o pesquisa dor admite que o grupo amostral foi muito reduzido e o método empregado diferiu dos comumente aplicados a este tipo de pesquisa. Entre tanto, os mesmos pouco divergiram dos de outras investigações.

The Brazilian class C women perception regarding premium mass products in the beauty industry

Recentemente, os mercados emergentes se tornaram um alvo potencial para a indústria da beleza e o Brasil está se tornando um mercado lucrativo para os produtos cosméticos Premium (Euromonitor International, 2013). A população de baixa renda no Brasil representa 70% de seus habitantes ao considerar as classes C, D e E (Barki e Parente, 2010), sendo a classe C representada por 56% da população (Neri, 2012). Este é um mercado potencial para as empresas multinacionais (MNCs), que enfrentam desafios de fazer negócios no país, visto que a classe C opta por gastar parte de sua renda com produtos relacionados a beleza (Silva e Parente, 2007) e ainda há um pouco conhecimento sobre o comportamento de consumo na base da pirâmide. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar e descrever o comportamento de consumo das mulheres brasileiras da classe C no setor de beleza, em relação aos produtos Mass Premium, melhorando o conhecimento no que diz respeito a essa população e ao tema proposto. Para atingir esse objetivo, o autor utilizou uma metodologia baseada em uma análise descritivas qualitativa em que foram entrevistadas 20 mulheres de todas as faixas etárias, que pertencem à classe C brasileira e citações foram usadas para fornecer a confirmação dos resultados da análise. Os resultados sugerem que, ao longo dos anos, houve de fato um movimento de trade up no consumo de produtos de beleza. Além disso, foram identificados cinco aspectos principais, que conduzem decisão de compra das mulheres de classe C, no setor de beleza: confiabilidade, qualidade, status, autoestima e bem-estar. Apesar das limitações de um estudo exploratório, espera-se que a pesquisa aumente o conhecimento sobre o mercado da base da pirâmide, especialmente no que diz respeito à indústria da beleza.

Microcrédito e empoderamento de mulheres de baixa renda: uma análise do projeto “elas”

O microcrédito tem sido uma ferramenta de combate à pobreza no mundo todo nas últimas décadas. A ampliação do acesso ao crédito àqueles que não podem recorrer ao sistema financeiro tradicional tem se constituído como uma via democrática de fomento à inclusão social através da geração de trabalho e renda. Os empréstimos realizados têm demonstrado efeitos benéficos sobre a comunidades de baixa renda, especialmente em relação às mulheres, pelo desencadeamento de um processo de empoderamento com efeitos em sua capacidade de auferir renda, melhorar sua autoestima e ampliar sua participação em espaços de tomada de decisão. No Brasil, as mulheres são a maioria dos tomadores de microcrédito e a justificativa para isso perpassa pelas dificuldades relativas ao mercado formal, a necessidade de complementação da renda familiar, o desejo de maior emancipação frente aos companheiros e a busca pela realização num pequeno empreendimento próprio. Em Fortaleza (CE), o Banco Palmas criou um projeto de empoderamento de gênero, focado em beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família, a partir da concessão de microcrédito. A presente dissertação teve como objetivo analisar as dimensões do processo de empoderamento alcançadas pelas mulheres participantes deste projeto, intitulado como projeto “ELAS”. A hipótese inicial era a de que a nova capacidade economicamente produtiva das entrevistadas modificaria sua realidade, colocando-as em um novo patamar frente a si mesmas e às suas famílias, proporcionando maior autonomia em suas decisões de consumo e independência financeira frente a seus maridos, além do aumento de seu bem-estar. Nesse caso, o microcrédito serviria como um fomentador do empoderamento individual feminino, hipótese comprovada neste estudo. Entretanto, notou-se que não houve um rompimento das relações de gênero no âmbito das famílias, fator perceptível principalmente pela não redistribuição das tarefas domiciliares, com impactos restritivos no empoderamento social dessas mulheres através da não participação em instâncias coletivas de tomada de decisão.

O aluno e a transição: relação entre auto-conceito e atitudes face à escola

A escola é um contexto fundamental para o desenvolvimento das crianças e adolescentes, sendo um local privilegiado para os processos de socialização e de construção de identidade colaborando para a organização do seu auto-conceito. Este contexto tanto pode propiciar experiências que favorecem sentimentos de confiança e competência, como pode actuar no sentido oposto, diminuindo o autoconceito daqueles que têm dificuldades em obter bons resultados e fazer amizades. Os percursos escolares são construídos através da experiência de vida de cada aluno. No entanto, a transição escolar é um factor com que todos os alunos têm de lidar, implicando mudanças nos papéis que desempenham, nas suas rotinas, relações e na forma como se percepcionam e percepcionam o mundo, podendo ter, por isso, repercussões nas atitudes que os alunos desenvolvem face à escola e sobre si mesmos. Deste modo é importante que, os alunos, ao transitarem de escola levem consigo uma percepção positiva sobre si e sobre as suas vivências escolares. Nesse sentido, este estudo pretendeu, através de uma abordagem descritivocorrelacional de caracter quantitativo, analisar a relação entre auto-conceito e as atitudes face à escola de modo a perceber melhor o efeito destes factores em alunos que se preparavam para transitar de ciclo de ensino. Para o efeito, foi recolhida uma amostra de 157 alunos, do 4º, 6º e 9º ano, de duas escolas da Região Autónoma da Madeira, a frequentar o ano lectivo 2011/2012 e utilizada a Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale (PHCSCS-2) (Veiga, 2006) e o Questionário de Atitudes Face à Escola (QAFE) (Candeias & Rebelo, 2011). No que respeita aos resultados obtido, estes demonstraram que existe uma relação significativa, positiva, entre o auto-conceito e as atitudes nos três anos de escolaridade, assim como, uma diminuição nas atitudes face à aprendizagem do 6º para o 9º ano. Observou-se, também, que os rapazes apresentam índices mais elevados nas dimensões do auto-conceito “popularidade” e “ansiedade”, do que as raparigas.

A influência das variáveis socioemocionais e do autoconceito nos anos de transição 2º e 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico: um estudo exploratório na RAM

Nos últimos anos tem havido um aumento da investigação em torno das transições escolares. Assim, consideramos que as variáveis socioemocionais e o autoconceito podem influenciar de forma positiva e/ou negativa este processo de transição. No mesmo sentido as expetativas criadas pelos alunos nos anos de transição podem condicionar a adaptação ao novo ciclo de estudos. Se soubermos antecipadamente o que carateriza estes alunos, poderemos intervir adequadamente no sentido de potencializar o seu sucesso escolar. Centramos então o nosso estudo numa amostra de alunos do 2º e 3º ciclo do ensino básico de uma escola situada na zona rural da ilha da Madeira onde foram aplicados testes de inteligência emocional, autoconceito e de expetativas na transição de ano, nomeadamente, o PACS - Avaliação de Competências Sociais; EQ-i: YV - Inteligência Emocional; PCIS - Inteligência Social; PHCSCS 2 - Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale 2 e o Questionário de Expetativas dos Alunos nos anos de Transição. Os resultados apontam para que quer no 2º, quer no 3º ciclo a inteligência emocional esteja direta e positivamente associada ao autoconceito. No 2º ciclo, existe uma relação positiva entre a competência social e o autoconceito bem como entre a competência social e a inteligência emocional, existindo diferenças entre os géneros, nas diferentes dimensões da inteligência emocional, sendo que as raparigas registam índices mais elevados nos domínios intrapessoal, interpessoal e inteligência geral no 2º ciclo, enquanto no 3º ciclo são os rapazes que nas dimensões do humor geral e na escala total registam os índices mais elevados. Por último, no 2º ciclo as raparigas manifestam um autoconceito superior aos rapazes, no aspeto comportamental, intelectual e na satisfação-felicidade, enquanto no 3º ciclo apenas se verificam maiores níveis de ansiedade no género masculino. As correlações relativamente às expetativas também são apresentadas.

Autoconceito e percepção sobre o envelhecimento dos profissionais que lidam diariamente com o idoso

O presente estudo tem como principal objectivo explorar a relação entre o autoconceito e a percepção sobre o envelhecimento dos funcionários de uma instituição de 3ª idade que têm um contacto directo com o idoso no exercício das suas funções. Participaram no estudo 148 sujeitos, 135 do sexo feminino e 12 do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 21 e os 65 anos. Para a avaliação do autoconceito foi utilizada a Escala de Autoconceito, versão portuguesa em fase experimental (Novo, 2002) da Tenesse Self-Concept Scale (TSCS:2) de Fitts e Warren (1996), enquanto para avaliar a percepção sobre o envelhecimento foi administrado o Questionário de Percepções sobre o Envelhecimento, versão portuguesa em fase experimental (Beja & Franco, 2009) do Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (APQ) de Barker, O´Hanlon, McGee, Hickey e Conroy (2007). Os resultados deste estudo demonstram que os adultos com mais idade apresentam uma percepção do envelhecimento mais negativa e têm um autoconceito mais fraco, principalmente a nível físico e académico. Por outro lado, os indivíduos com mais habilitações académicas e formação na área de saúde têm uma percepção sobre o envelhecimento mais positiva. Quanto à relação entre autoconceito e percepção sobre o envelhecimento, os sujeitos com um autoconceito mais forte apresentam uma percepção sobre o envelhecimento mais positiva.

Síndrome de burnout e autoeficácia: um estudo com profissionais de enfermagem de hospitais privados de Natal/rn

This research verifies the influence of the self-efficacy level on burnout syndrome incidence in relation to nursing professionals from private hospitals located in the Municipality of Natal, State of Rio Grande do Norte. The nature of the research was descriptive, and the used data analysis method was quantitative which was developed through SPSS computational package, version 17.0. The used instrument for the investigation was Maslach-Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the General Perceived Self-efficacy Scale (GPSES) was applied to a sample formed from 230 nursing professionals. The statistic techniques to data analysis were: frequency analysis; factor analysis; Cronbach.s alpha; Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (KMO); Bartlett efericity test; percentual analysis; Spearman rank correlation analysis; and simple regression. The achieved factors from factor analysis of MBI were the same, taking into account the dimensions which Maslach initially suggested to the instrument (emotional exhaustion, lack of personal realization, and depersonalization). However, one highlights that the low internal consistence of the depersonalization dimension can occur from people.s difficulty (caused by cultural aspects) of assuming this attitude in their work environment. Through GSE, it was achieved a factor which confirmed the unidimensionality showed by the author of the instrument. In relation to the syndrome incidence, it was verified that about 50% of the researched sample presented burnout syndrome evidence. Referring to self-efficacy level, about 65% of the researched sample presented low level of self-efficacy, what can be explained by the work characteristics of these professionals. In relation to the self-efficacy influence on the Burnout syndrome, it was verified that self-efficacy can be one of the aspects which influences occupational stress chronification (burnout), mainly to the personal realization dimension. Therefore, the researched hospital organizations need reflect about their attitudes in respect to their professionals, since the numbers showed a dangerous tendency regarding a predisposition to burnout syndrome of their staff, what implies not only a significant amount of individuals who can present high levels of emotional exhaustion, lack of personal realization, and depersonalization, but also the fact that this group presents low level of self-efficacy

Autoeficácia, características sociodemográficas e capacitação profissional: um estudo com servidores de uma Universidade Federal

Self-efficacy, the construct developed by Albert Bandura in 1977 and widely studied around the world, means the individual's belief in his own capacity to successfully perform a certain activity. This study aims to determine the degree of association between sociodemographic characteristics and professional training to the levels of Self-Efficacy at Work (SEW) of the Administrative Assistants in a federal university. This is a descriptive research submitted to and approved by the Ethics Committee of UFRN. The method of data analysis, in quantitative nature, was accomplished with the aid of the statistical programs R and Minitab. The instrument used in research was a sociodemographic data questionnaire, variables of professional training and the General Perception of Self-efficacy Scale (GPSES), applied to the sample by 289 Assistants in Administration. Statistical techniques for data analysis were descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, reliability test (Cronbach's alpha), and test of significance (Pearson). Results show a sociodemographic profile of Assistants in Administration of UFRN with well-distributed characteristics, with 48.4% men and 51.6% female; 59.9% of them were aged over 40 years, married (49.3%), color or race white (58%) and Catholics (67.8%); families are composed of up to four people (75.8%) with children (59.4%) of all age groups; the occupation of the mothers of these professionals is mostly housewives (51.6%) with high school education up to parents (72%) and mothers (75.8%). Assistants in Administration have high levels of professional training, most of them composed two groups of servers: the former, recently hired public servants (30.7%) and another with long service (59%), the majority enter young in career and it stays until retirement, 72.4% of these professionals have training above the minimum requirement for the job. The analysis of SEW levels shows medium to high levels for 72% of assistants in administration; low SEWclassified people have shown a high average of 2.7, considered close to the overall mean presented in other studies, which is 2.9. The cluster analysis has allowed us to say that the characteristics of the three groups (Low, Medium and High SEW) are similar and can be found in the three levels of SEW representatives with all the characteristics investigated. The results indicate no association between the sociodemographic variables and professional training to the levels of self-efficacy at work of Assistants in Administration of UFRN, except for the variable color or race. However, due to the small number of people who declared themselves in color or black race (4% of the sample), this result can be interpreted as mere coincidence or the black people addressed in this study have provided a sense of efficacy higher than white and brown ones. The study has corroborated other studies and highlighted the subjectivity of the self-efficacy construct. They are needed more researches, especially with public servants for the continuity and expansion of studies on the subject, making it possible to compare and confirm the results

Auto-eficácia de alunos de administração: um estudo com concluintes do curso de graduação em Administração no Estado do Pará

The current study presents the characteristics of self-efficacy of students of Administration course, who work and do not work. The study was conducted through a field research, descriptive, addressed quantitatively using statistical procedures. Was studied a population composed of 394 students distributed in three Higher Education Institutions, in the metropolitan region of Belém, in the State of Pará. The sampling was not probabilistic by accessibility, with a sample of 254 subjects. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire composed of a set of questions divided into three sections: the first related to sociodemographic data, the second section was built to identify the work situation of the respondent and the third section was built with issues related to General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale proposed by Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1999). Sociodemographic data were processed using methods of descriptive statistics. This procedure allowed characterizing the subjects of the sample. To identify the work situation, the analysis of frequency and percentage was used, which allowed to classify in percentage, the respondents who worked and those that did not work, and the data related to the scale of self-efficacy were processed quantitatively by the method of multivariate statistics using the software of program Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows - SPSS, version 17 from the process of Exploratory Factor Analysis. This procedure allowed characterizing the students who worked and the students who did not worked. The results were discussed based on Social Cognitive Theory from the construct of self-efficacy of Albert Bandura (1977). The study results showed a young sample, composed the majority of single women with work experience, and indicated that the characteristics of self-efficacy of students who work and students who do not work are different. The self-efficacy beliefs of students who do not work are based on psychological expectations, whereas the students who work demonstrated that their efficacy beliefs are sustained by previous experiences. A student who does not work proved to be reliant in their abilities to achieve a successful performance in their activities, believing it to be easy to achieve your goals and to face difficult situations at work, simply by invest a necessary effort and trust in their abilities. One who has experience working proved to be reliant in their abilities to conduct courses of action, although know that it is not easy to achieve your goals, and in unexpected situations showed its ability to solve difficult problems

Associação entre as narrativas em saúde bucal e condições socioeconômico-culturais: a dentição como reflexo da desigualdade social

This anthropological study investigates the lived-experience of oral diseases in the context of poverty in Northeast Brazil. During six months in 2004???, ethnographic interviews, narratives and participant-observation with 31 residents of the low-income community, Dendê, located in Fortaleza, Ceará were conducted and analyzed utilizing a hermeneutic-dialetic method. It is revealed that precarious life conditions make prioritizing caretaking a difficult task. Despite suffering tooth pain, seeking a dentist's care is perceived as "a luxury" not a citzens' right. Difficulties in accessing services and poor quality restorations, favor tooth extractions as the most effective intervention. The deterioration of one's oral health is lamented by community members who seek help from popular clinics, politicians and traditional healers. The experience of dental disease differs according to social class, leaves oral scars of inequity, harms self-esteem and inhibits social inclusion. In this context, "treating" the Teeth of Inequity demands that we deepen our comprehension of the social determinants of health, reduce injustice in the access to quality care, remove demoralizing stigmas and empower the community to confront structural forces which affect its life

Resiliência e velhice: um estudo de fatores de risco e de proteção na saúde do idoso

Resilience consists of a capacity to adapt and overcome situations of risk, from the aid of protective factors. This construct constitutes a process of preventive and multidimensional present in all stages of human development. During this development, it has been immersed in the elderly biopsychosocial changes resulting from the aging process. In this sense, there was a need for a multidisciplinary study, combining psychology, medicine, nursing, social work and gerontology in order to check the resilience, its risk factors, such as life events and health, and protection, such as self-esteem and social support. For this, we performed a descriptive exploratory study of cross-sectional nature, along with a convenience sample consisting of 65 elderly users of the public health of the district east of the city of Natal/RN, Brazil. This research allowed the collection of socio-demographic, economic, relational, physical, biological and psychological in understanding the aging process. It is observed that the studied sample socio-economic status and chronic health conditions in their own lives and their families, that demand for care and attention every day, are resilient, have faced significant losses, have positive self-esteem and social support perceived as external satisfactory. Given this multidimensional nature, the aging process deserves the attention of many professionals and health policies, seeking provide to the elderly a better living conditions and mechanisms that promote well-being and health

Histórias de idosos: sementes para cultivarmos uam educação para uma velhice bem-sucedida

We understand that the successful old age is not confined only in the analysis of quantitative aspects concerning the economic situation of the subject that gets old, but this special way of aging is related to other values, such as dignity, happiness, self-esteem, willingness, autonomy, independence, social involvement with family and friends, among others. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the human aging process, considering the history of life of ten seniors who fit the profile of successful old age, seeking to identify elements that contribute to educational thinking in order to get a successful aging. In this perspective, we argue in this study, the idea that we need to learn to engage in experiences that more than providing satisfaction and well-being in the moment in which we conducted, serve as a potentiating to a successful old age. Thus, throughout this thesis we question: what are the present indicative in the histories of life of elderly people, considered successful, which may contribute to an education that people experiencing their age more satisfactorily. This is a qualitative study, that took as universe a methodological oral history, in which we used as a technique of research a semistructured interview as a part of their life history, with emphasis on consideration of the following categories: diary routine, with emphasis on social harmony in the family, at work and in friendship groups of leisure and physical activity, self-knowledge and the learning experiences throughout life. To get the objectives outlined, as well as lectured on the categories analyzed, we support our reflection on the theory of the course of life, which includes human aging as a historical and cultural contextual reality. Our research revealed, among other things, that successful aging is coupled to an active lifestyle, where the involvement in physical activities, recreational and social experiences throughout life is important for increasing self-esteem, autonomy and joy of living, conditions that enable successful old age. Our study also revealed that the educationfor successful old age is linked with the consumption along the life, educational activities which broaden the possibilities of social interaction between people, even among different generations, since the interaction is important to learn and accept our possibilities and limits.

Como se fora brincadeira de roda: a ciranda da ludopoiese para uma educação musical humanescente

The present work concerns an auto-ethnographic study based on life experiences and reflections of an educator at Escola Viva Preschool and Elementary-Middle School, located in the city center of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. As a cognitive model of operation, we use the metaphor of the Circle Dance. The objective of this study is to identify, interpret and describe the ludopoetics that are achieved through a Musical Education program, which we denominate, Humanescent. The data of this investigation was derived from the music making by Preschool and Elementary-Middle School students at Escola Viva during 2007, 2008 and 2009, from which 20 learners were selected to form the corpus, along with the description and interpretation of photos of their experiences and sand tray scenes. We justify the methodological systemization of the research based on our own pedagogical practice, which supports Musical Education in the schools based on the principals of Embodiment, Autopoesis and Flow. The methodological systemization was developed through an Action Research model and on the concepts of Systemic Development, with the goal of re-reading the context investigated through the structuring of categories of Ludopoesis: Self-esteem, Self-territory, Self-connectivity, Self-realization and Selfworth. We used an observant-participant research approach with regard to the perception of emergent knowledge, the surroundings, the experience lived and the contextual and vibration of the circumstances. Besides this, we used projection to interpret the experiences lived, in the form of drawings, short poems, letters or sand tray scenes as symbolic interpretations of experience. In the unfolding of the Ludopoetic Process (Selfesteem, Self-territory, Self-connectivity, Self-realization and Selfworth) we draw conclusions about the relevance of the ludic musical experience, which foments the formation of the self based on music learning, and which is demonstrated in the Embodiment of the learners. In the auto-formative process (of learners and educators) we observe the importance of pedagogical work based on Musical Humanescent Education that gives value to the music making path to the construction of music and performance in play, creativity, and sensibility. The experience of making music in a playful way allows for organization of the self and its autonomous production in the joy of living within a ludopoetic process. These findings highlight the educator as in a permanent state of selfformation, which generates moments of flow. However, in Musical Humanescent Education, music is learned collectively, doing a circle dance, experiencing love, fostering an expansion of the creative spirit, and giving recognition to playfulness as a necessary condition for education and to the value of music made with the true nature and sensibilities of the educators

Ludopoiese e humanescência no educador infantil

This research has as study objective the development of humanescent experience in the process of self-formation of the teachers of the Infantile Educational Unit of the Education Center of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. It has as general objective the description and analysis of how the humanscent experience of life contributes and is manifested in the children educator in his way of being, living and in his pedagogical practice. As specific objectives, the identification of the contributions of the humanescent experiences in the children educator in his way of being, living and in his pedagogical practice; the analysis of the contributions of the humanescent experiences to the children educator from the ludopoetic categories self-esteem, selfworth, self-realization, self-territory and self-connectivity. It is a descriptive study of qualitative nature understood as an existential action research that uses the principles and fundamentals of the etnomethodology and phenomenology. Sixteen teachers six that are effective teachers, six substitute teachers and 4 interns - took part in this investigation. Six humanescent experiences were carried out with them. As main tools we point out: the participative observation, the sand game, the photographic register and the semi-structured interview. The analyses were centered in the categories of the ludopoetic system, described above and referred to in the theoretical fundamentals selected for the study. From the analyses and to the answers to the objectives of the study, we make clear the following considerations: the reports of the teachers reveal that the humanescent experiences have contributed to make them more ludic, sensitive, emotional and lovely people, and this has reflected in their educational practice and has been making sense in their and their students lives. In this way, we make evident that the humanescent experiences have contributed to improve the ludopoesis of the teachers, revealing in the embodiment changes in their way of being, of living together and in their educational practice. In relation to the contributions of the humanescent experiences to the children educator from the ludopoetic categories self-esteem, selfworth, self-realization, self-territory and self-connectivity, we emphasize the following aspects: with the self-esteem, teachers have become more creative, rebuilding their possibilities of intensely experiencing the pleasure of living; in the context of selfterritory, the teachers have provided the realization of the wishes and expresson of oneself while lively interacting with the environment and with the other different territories of the educational process, in a continuous process of demarcation. Concerning the self-connectivity category, we emphasize that the teachers started to become more tuned with themselves, with the environment and with the other teachers because of the general well-being to the success of personal, pedagogical and institutional objectives, promoting a harmonic, lovely and ludic environment. Concerning the self-worth category, the teachers have valued the struggle for a school that is more committed with the search for happiness. From the self-realization, the teachers have shown self-recognition while ludic beings, playing with the beauty in their lives, allowing the flowing in its completeness, the other possibilities of analysis, the educational formation and development. We would like to emphasize that the considerations above are not over after what has been presented because of the richness of experiences revealed in the research
