Objective: To know the perception of informal caregivers regarding the care for a family member with head and neck cancer. Methods: Qualitative study conducted between March and May 2014 in the radiotherapy outpatient center of the Centro de Alta Complexidade em Oncologia – CACON (Oncology High Complexity Center) of the Hospital Universitário de Brasília – HUB (University Hospital of Brasília) using semi-structured interviews with nine caregivers about the experience of caring for family members. Data underwent Content Analysis and four units of meaning were identified: “Representation of cancer in the Family”, “The care as debt, individual reward or reconstruction of family ties”, “Repercussions of cancer on the caregiver’s personal life” and “Social support and network used by caregivers”. Results: Feelings of sadness and surprise at the moment of diagnosis were attributed to cancer, as well as the idea of punishment. The care was seen as personal satisfaction, accomplishment and opportunity for family rapprochement. Work overload and change in routine were altered functions. Religiosity, exchange of experience in the waiting room and institutional support appeared as coping strategies. Conclusion: The experience of caring for family members with head and neck cancer directly interferes in the lives of caregivers. Pointing out the institutional embracement as a strategy within the social network reinforces the importance of integrating the caregivers as a significant part of the health care plan developed by the health team.

Based on evidence found during the empirical study we can affirm that the nursing profession is affected by work stress. Objective: Evaluate stress and engagement levels among nurses in health units in Portugal and Spain and describe the stress-generating factors among the surveyed nurses. Methods: A comparative study on a transversal level. Sample of 867 nurses (504 Portuguese, 363 Spanish), female 83.6 % (78.6 % in Portugal, 90.6 % in Spain) and average age of 37. 77.2 % of the Portuguese and 39.4 % of the Spanish nurses work on average 40 hours per week. 60.6 % and 57.7 % of the Spanish and Portuguese respectively have exercised their profession for 10 years. Pamela Gray-Toft’s Nurs- ing Stress Scale (1981) [1] and Schaufeli & Bakker’s Utrecht Work En- gagement Scale (2003) [2] were used. Results: Globally, Portuguese nurses experience higher stress levels although the difference with Spanish nurses is not statistically significant. There are statistically significant differences between Portugal and Spain in “Lack of help from colleagues” and also in the psychological domain in general. Concerning Engagement, there are statistically significant differences in the three dimensions, the p-value of the Student t-test was under 5 %, highlighting that Spanish nurses are more vigorous, dedicated and absorbed by their work. Conclusions: Portuguese nurses perceive more psychological stress and mention having less help from colleagues. Spanish nurses feel more vigorous, dedicated and absorbed by their work.

This study examines the simultaneous effect of individual (selfefficacy) and group variables (cohesion and gender diversity) on satisfaction. A laboratory study was conducted involving 373 college students randomly distributed across 79 small groups, who performed a laboratory task in about five hours. Two-level Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) method was used. Results show the main effect from individual selfefficacy to satisfaction (both level 1), the cross-level effect from group cohesion (level 2) to individual satisfaction (level 1), and the interaction effect between self-efficacy and gender diversity to satisfaction. These results suggest that in a work group, satisfaction has a background in individual and group variables. Group cohesion and gender diversity have important effects on satisfaction. The article concludes with practical strategies and with limitations and suggestions for future research.

We take for granted that we exist in dimensions of time and space. We accept that time passes and that space extends as a matter of course. Just as our personal space is important to us, so is time of our own. The individual is capable of developing a variety of time perspectives or orientations, each applicable to a different aspect of life, for instance, home, leisure, economic, political and organisational. Our temporal perspective influences a wide range of psychological processes, from motivation, emotions and spontaneity to risk-taking creativity and problem-solving. Our temporal landscapes are made up of recognisable domains, with permeable borders – private time and public time, home time and work time, past, present and future time, cyclical time. Just as a geography of space contains recognisable natural features – rivers, deserts, mountains – and features created by human beings – canals, roads, skyscrapers – so our temporal landscape contains natural features – day and night, the seasons – and features created by us – the ordering of social, economic, legal, and organisational time into, among others, the practices of family life, financial periods, prison sentences and workloads. This paper views the temporal landscapes of night nurses, and is based on longitudinal ethnographic research. It highlights areas such as shift work, workload, and the temporal aspects of caring. The result is the production of a map, albeit a rough one, of the temporal landscape inhabited by night nurses as they go about their working lives.

Nos últimos anos, um conjunto de mudanças de natureza tecnológica institucional, legal e cultural alteraram as funções, a responsabilidade social e a estrutura das organizações de saúde. Estas transformações estão na base do debate actual sobre supervisão clínica em enfermagem enquanto estratégia de promoção da satisfação profissional, segurança e qualidade dos cuidados. A emergência da supervisão clínica em enfermagem permitiu interrogar e dar visibilidade a novas modalidades de formação no contexto de trabalho. A supervisão clínica é um processo multidimensional que inclui encontros regulares entre supervisores e supervisados, com o objectivo de analisar experiências de trabalho e de formação. Dedica-se especial atenção às dimensões emocionais, qualidade de cuidados, relação terapêutica e desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional. A presente pesquisa assume a forma de um estudo de caso realizado num hospital psiquiátrico (Hospital Magalhães Lemos). O objectivo principal do estudo consistiu em compreender o processo amplo e complexo de aprendizagens desenvolvidas em contexto clínico e a forma como estas condicionam as estratégias supervisivas. Recorrendo ao modelo bioecológico de Bronfenbrenner, o estudo interroga de forma sistemática a origem e as relações entre formação e supervisão. Os participantes do estudo foram 18 enfermeiros do referido hospital. Contamos, igualmente, com a colaboração de três peritos com profundo conhecimento da cultura e realidade hospitalar. A informação foi colhida com base em questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas. O questionário (Clinical Supervision Nursing Inventory – CSNI - V1) inclui três partes. A parte I e II foram relevantes para caracterizar os participantes e o contexto clínico. A parte III do instrumento inclui um inventário com 24 itens. O Alfa de Cronbach calculado pelo autor foi de 0,93 para os 24 itens da escala, indicando excelentes resultados psicométricos. A entrevista semi-estruturada foi usada para a recolha de dados junto dos três peritos. Os enfermeiros possuem uma atitude positiva perante a supervisão clínica. O desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional dos enfermeiros estava relacionado com as oportunidades de formação emergentes no contexto das práticas. Embora a expressão “supervisão clínica” seja por vezes utilizada de forma incorrecta nas organizações, concluímos que existiam no hospital boas práticas a nível da supervisão dos cuidados, relacionando desenvolvimento pessoal, qualidade de cuidados e competências profissionais. Tentámos problematizar as experiências supervisivas partindo de teorias sócio-culturais e bio-ecológicas. Os participantes do estudo referiram que há necessidade de formalizar o sistema de supervisão clínica em enfermagem, evitando relacionálo com o sistema de supervisão de gestão. São apresentados e discutidos diversos subsídios para o desenvolvimento do sistema de supervisão clínica em enfermagem, no hospital.

Apesar de décadas de estudos, as opiniões são controversas. Não existe uma opinião comum entre os pesquisadores sobre o que é e como ocorre a motivação, a satisfação e a insatisfação no trabalho. As condições físicas dos serviços são um factor primordial para a motivação, satisfação ou insatisfação do trabalhador, assim como o tipo de liderança existente no mesmo. Ao longo da nossa história tem-se assistido a muitos exemplos de liderança, uns mais, outros menos eficazes. A satisfação no trabalho é um estado afectivo resultante da apreciação das características percebidas do trabalho e da organização. Neste contexto de mudanças na administração pública em geral e na área da saúde em particular, surge este estudo em contexto hospitalar, motivado pela necessidade de conhecer a satisfação dos enfermeiros de um Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa e a relação com algumas variáveis sócio demográficas. Optou-se pelo paradigma quantitativo, numa amostra de 122 inquiridos pertencentes a um grupo de profissionais de enfermagem de um Hospital Central de Lisboa. Para a elaboração da parte empírica utilizou-se o método por questionário de escolha múltipla. Os objectivos definidos: Objectivo Geral: perceber o nível de motivação/ satisfação dos enfermeiros relativamente à profissão ao serviço e à hierarquia. Objectivos específicos: Identificar o nível de satisfação/motivação dos enfermeiros dos serviços estudados relativamente à profissão, em função das variáveis sociodemográficas. - Caracterizar os aspectos com os quais os enfermeiros têm maior e menor satisfação relacionados com a profissão, serviço e hierarquia. - Identificar se existe relação entre o nível de motivação/satisfação e os sintomas físicos sentidos. Os participantes da amostra são, maioritariamente do sexo feminino, a média de idades é de 32 anos, grande percentagem já tem como habilitações profissionais a licenciatura, têm entre 1 e 28 anos de profissão e 1 e 28 anos no serviço actual, 17,2% exercem funções de chefia. Grande percentagem da amostra tem como horário semanal de trabalho 35 horas e trabalham em horário rotativo. Os enfermeiros são profissionais que mostram insatisfação relativamente à profissão e hierarquia e moderada satisfação relativamente aos serviços. A satisfação dos enfermeiros quanto à profissão altera-se de acordo com o horário de trabalho, vínculo à instituição e os sentimentos que os mesmos têm relativamente ao trabalho. A satisfação dos enfermeiros relativamente ao serviço altera-se consoante o tempo de profissão e com os sentimentos que os profissionais apresentam relativamente ao trabalho. Quanto à satisfação dos enfermeiros relativamente à hierarquia altera-se dependendo da idade dos profissionais, do tempo de profissão e do serviço onde desempenham. Relativamente à satisfação geral com o trabalho, esta pode alterar dependendo da idade, do tempo de profissão, do serviço onde desempenham funções e dos sentimentos dos profissionais relativamente ao trabalho. De salientar que ao analisarmos os serviços estudados separadamente concluímos que os enfermeiros do serviço de urgência são profissionais muito insatisfeitos com a hierarquia e os enfermeiros da Unidade de Urgência Médica são profissionais pouco satisfeitos, mas apesar de tudo satisfeitos com a hierarquia. ABSTRACT; Behind decades of studies, the opinions are controversial. There is a common opinion among researchers about what is and how is the motivation, satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work. The physical conditions of services are a major factor in motivation, satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the worker and the type of leadership exists in it. Throughout our history have seen many examples of leadership, some more, some less effective. Job satisfaction is an affective state resulting from the assessment of the perceived characteristics of work and organization. ln this context of changes in public administration in general and in health in particular, this study appears in the hospital setting, motivated by the need to know the satisfaction of nurses in a Hospital in Lisbon and the relationship with sociodemographic variables. We chose the quantitative paradigm in a sample of 122 respondents belonging to a group of nursing professionals in a central hospital in Lisbon. ln developing the empirical part we used the method for multiple-choice test. The objectives: General Objective: To understand the level of motivation I satisfaction of nurses for the profession and the service hierarchy. Specific objectives: To identify the level of satisfaction I motivation of nursing service studied for the profession, according to the socio-demographic variables. - Characterize the points with which nurses have the highest and lowest satisfaction related to the profession, service and hierarchy. - To identify if there is a relationship between the level of motivation I satisfaction and physical symptoms felt. The sample participants are mostly female, average age is 32 years, a large percentage already has the professional qualifications of the degree, are between and 28 years of occupation and 1 and 28 in the current service, 17.2 % hold positions of leadership. A great percentage of the sample has the working week and working 35 hours on rotating schedule. Nurses are professionals who show dissatisfaction with the profession and the hierarchy and moderately satisfied for the services, the latter fact can be justified by what is possible when the organization professionals are available and perform functions in service to their liking and they like to work. The satisfaction of nurses as the profession changes according to working hours, commitment to the institution and the feelings they have for the work. The satisfaction of nurses for the service changes depending on the length of service and with the feelings that professionals are on the job. The satisfaction of nurses from the hierarchy will change depending on the age of professionals, time and professional service where they play. For the overall satisfaction with the work, this may change depending on age, length of employment, where the service functions and the feelings of the professionals for the job. Note that when analyzing the services studied separately concluded that the nurses in the emergency department professionals are very unhappy with the hierarchy and the nurses of the Unit of Emergency Medical professionals are somewhat satisfied but still happy

The study examined a modified social cognitive model of domain satisfaction (Lent, 2004). In addition to social cognitive variables and trait positive affect, the model included two aspects of adult attachment, attachment anxiety and avoidance. The study extended recent research on well-being and satisfaction in academic, work, and social domains. The adjusted model was tested in a sample of 454 college students, in order to determine the role of adult attachment variables in explaining social satisfaction, above and beyond the direct and indirect effects of trait positive affect. Confirmatory factor analysis found support for 8 correlated factors in the modified model: social domain satisfaction, positive affect, attachment avoidance, attachment anxiety, social support, social self-efficacy, social outcome expectations, and social goal progress. Three alternative structural models were tested to account for the ways in which attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance might relate to social satisfaction. Results of model testing provided support for a model in which attachment avoidance produced only an indirect path to social satisfaction via self-efficacy and social support. Positive affect, avoidance, social support, social self-efficacy, and goal progress each produced significant direct or indirect paths to social domain satisfaction, though attachment anxiety and social outcome expectations did not contribute to the predictive model. Implications of the findings regarding the modified social cognitive model of social domain satisfaction were discussed.

Using data from a representative sample of public primary schools in Madagascar, this paper analyzes engagement at work among school directors and investigates the impact of school heads' supervisory roles on teachers' behavior at work. The results show clear signs of weak management within public primary schools. We find that school heads' engagement at work is positively associated with their employment conditions, job satisfaction, and overall working environment. The results also indicate that principals' management styles have a positive effect on teachers’ commitment at work, but no significant impact on absenteeism.

The new standards of technological and flexible arrangements have made virtual work prevalent for almost everyone in all levels of an organization. Whether in a virtual or traditional setting, current working conditions allow anyone to collaborate, work and interact with others through electronic means of communication, thereby creating a lack of face-to-face contact. Even though the dynamics of virtuality have been widely elaborated at the team level, there are still many unknowns about the impacts of virtuality experienced at an individual level. This paper aims to shed light on the relationship between workplace social isolation, job satisfaction, perceived performance and turnover intention comparing individual responses to team virtuality and task virtuality. Our findings propose that there are statistically significant relations between individual task virtuality, workplace social isolation, satisfaction, perceived performance and turnover intention in organizations. The results also reveal that task virtuality is a better predictor than team virtuality in estimating workplace social isolation and turnover intention.

Engagement is a useful concept in the profession of nursing as it focuses on the positive dimension of human behaviour and visualizes the work context as a positive situation. Evaluate the stress and engagement levels on Portuguese and Spanish nurses and analyse the factors related to the stress and engagement levels in the two sample groups. Comparative exploratory study in a quantitative paradigm. Sample of 867 nurses (504 Portuguese, 363 Spanish), female 83.6% (78.6% Portugal, 90.6% Spain) and average age of 37. Portuguese (77.2%) and Spanish nurses (39.4%), work on average 40 hours per week. 60.6% and 57.7% of the Spanish and Portuguese respectively exercise their profession for 10 years. Sociodemographic questionnaire, the Pamela Gray-Toft’s Nursing Stress Scale (1981) and Schaufeli & Bakker’s Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (2003) were used. In what concerns Engagement there are statistically signiicant differences in the three dimensions, the p-value of the t-Student test were under 5%, highlighting the Spanish nurses for being more vigorous, dedicated and absorbed by their work: vigour, dedication and absorption. The sample of Portuguese nurses experience higher stress levels although the difference with Spanish nurses isn’t statistically signiicant. There are statistically signiicant differences between Portugal and Spain in “Lack of help from colleagues” and also in the psychological domain in general. The Spanish nurses feel more vigorous, dedicated and absorbed by their work. The Portuguese nurses perceive more psychological stress and mention having less help from colleagues.

Unemployment is related to economic, political and social aspects. One of the least analysed social aspects is the relationship between unemployment and the (individual) perceived levels of well-being, such as life satisfaction or happiness. This chapter complements previous work on the subject, using a panel-data econometrics methodology to analyze the relationship between unemployment and life satisfaction in a wide range of countries worldwide. The results confirm that unemployment has a negative effect, statistically significant, on life satisfaction, either for men or for women.

Macro and micro-economic perspectives are combined in an eco- nomic growth model. An agent-based modeling approach is used to develop an overlapping generation framework where endogenous growth is supported by work- ers that decide to study depending on their relative (skilled and unskilled) indi- vidual satisfaction. The micro perspective is based on individual satisfaction: an utility function computed from the variation of the relative income in both space and time. The macro perspective emerges from micro decisions, and, as in other growth models of this type, concerns an important allocative social decision the share of the working population that is engaged in producing ideas (skilled work- ers). Simulations show that production and satisfaction levels are higher when the evolution of income measured in both space and time are equally weighted.

O Mestrado em Enfermagem, com Especialização em Enfermagem Comunitária, visa a aquisição e desenvolvimento de competências para o exercício autónomo, auto refletido e com poder de avaliação critica sobre os cuidados prestados e a sua qualidade no que diz respeito aos vários níveis de prevenção do cliente comunidade. O presente relatório, realizado no âmbito da unidade curricular de Estágio, pretende descrever, analisar e refletir sobre o percurso da construção de competências específicas para a intervenção especializada em Enfermagem Comunitária e de Saúde Pública. Ele propõe-se sintetizar as etapas de crescimento pessoal e profissional que permitem uma melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados prestados, um maior desenvolvimento profissional e a melhoria da satisfação dos grupos e comunidades onde decorreram as intervenções. Nele se demonstram as competências desenvolvidas e que convergem nos objetivos académicos definidos por este Mestrado, bem como no perfil de competências preconizado pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros para o desempenho autónomo de cuidados especializados de Enfermagem a grupos e comunidades. O módulo de estágio consistiu no desenvolvimento de um Projeto de Intervenção Comunitária, baseado na metodologia do Planeamento em Saúde, com o objetivo geral de Promover a capacitação e o empoderamento dos adolescentes da E.S.S.L. no âmbito de uma sexualidade saudável e responsável. Na intervenção em enfermagem avançada na comunidade e dando resposta aos problemas/necessidades identificados, foram realizadas sessões de Educação para a Saúde como estratégia de promoção e proteção da saúde e de prevenção da doença, com a finalidade de se atingir o grau de excelência na qualidade de vida e obter ganhos em saúde. A Educação para a Saúde numa ação essencialmente voltada para a Promoção da Saúde desempenha um papel fundamental na capacitação dos indivíduos para a aquisição de hábitos de vida saudáveis e consequentemente na obtenção de ganhos em saúde. A possibilidade de ocorrerem transformações sobre as condições de vida e de saúde nas comunidades depende do acesso a determinadas formas de conhecimento, e a Educação para a Saúde tem um papel significativo face à melhoria das condições de vida e de saúde das populações. Após a intervenção, e ainda que não seja possível avaliar o impacto deste projeto, podemos constatar que as metas estabelecidas foram todas superadas e até ultrapassadas, assim como os objetivos que tinham sido delineados. Observa-se um grau de satisfação em geral com as sessões de Educação para a Saúde desenvolvidas de 98,1%. Esperamos que com a nossa intervenção, as competências pessoais e sociais adquiridas possam ser desenvolvidas e utilizadas para melhorar a vivência da Sexualidade na Adolescência. No entanto, temos consciência de que a intervenção na área da promoção e prevenção, deve ser um trabalho contínuo e dinâmico para se conseguir ganhos em saúde, com resultados a médio/longo prazo
