Intelig��ncia emocional dos professores e vulnerabilidade ao stress em contexto escolar

Investiga����es recentes revelam que o stress �� considerado um dos indicadores de mau-estar docente (Jesus, 2005). Para lidar com estas novas realidades, os professores necessitam de controlar/lidar com o stress e as suas emo����es nas circunst��ncias mais adversas. Desta forma, o principal objectivo deste estudo foi perceber de que forma a percep����o emocional e a intelig��ncia emocional s��o importantes para gerir problemas de stress ocupacional. Para tal, utilizaram-se quatro instrumentos diferentes: O teste de regula����o emocional de Berkeley (Gross & John, 2003), o teste de expressividade Emocional de Berkeley (Gross & John, 2003), a escala de meta-conhecimento dos estados emocionais a Trait Meta-Mood Scale��� (TMMS 24) (Salovey & Mayer 1990) e a escala de avalia����o do grau de vulnerabilidade ao stress a 23QVS (Serra, 2000). Estes testes foram aplicados numa sess��o ��nica a 292 professores dos 2.�� e 3.�� Ciclos do Ensino B��sico, do distrito do Funchal, sendo 64,7% do sexo feminino e 35,3% do sexo masculino de diferentes grupos disciplinares. Analisou-se a influ��ncia de algumas vari��veis como o g��nero, a idade, estado civil, n��mero de filhos, habilita����es, anos de servi��o, n��vel de ensino que lecciona e o grupo disciplinar na explica����o da percep����o emocional, da intelig��ncia emocional e da vulnerabilidade ao stress. Realizaram-se igualmente os estudos correlacionais das diferentes medidas utilizadas. Os resultados mostraram que os professores que apresentam maiores capacidades para clarificar e regular as suas pr��prias emo����es s��o aqueles que apresentam menor vulnerabilidade ao stress. Para finalizar destacaremos as implica����es que este estudo traz para a interven����o em contextos educativos.

Fam��lias com necessidades educativas especiais: lutos e perdas: um estudo na Regi��o Aut��noma da Madeira

Quando nasce um indiv��duo com uma incapacidade ou a adquire ao longo do percurso de vida, a fam��lia lida de uma determinada forma com essa nova e indesejada not��cia. O presente estudo teve como intuito verificar que impacto tem a presen��a de filhos portadores de incapacidade no ciclo vital da fam��lia. Pretende-se compreender a perda e o processo de luto inerente a estas fam��lias, nomeadamente os sentimentos e rea����es face �� incapacidade dos filhos, mudan��as na vida dos pais, momentos mais dif��ceis e relacionamento que os pais t��m com os filhos com necessidades educativas especiais. Para a realiza����o da investiga����o, recorreu-se ��s entrevistas semiestruturadas a 13 pais, 12 do g��nero feminino e 1 do g��nero masculino com idades compreendidas entre os 30 e 63 anos, com escolaridade desde a 4�� classe at�� o Doutoramento. Recorreu-se �� Grounded Theory com o intuito de encontrar as categorias principais relacionadas com o impacto da presen��a de necessidades educativas especiais na fam��lia. As quatro categorias identificadas demonstram que o diagn��stico �� um fator importante para o processo de aceita����o do indiv��duo com NEE. Os pais relatam sentimentos negativos perante a incapacidade do filho, falta de informa����o, falta de diversos apoios, nomeadamente o social, monet��rio, terap��utico, m��dico e psicol��gico. Falam tamb��m dos preconceitos existentes na sociedade e a falta de recursos para a inclus��o do indiv��duo com NEE. Os pais demonstram preocupa����o em rela����o ��s transi����es intr��nsecas ao pr��prio ciclo de vida dos indiv��duos com NEE, �� inclus��o na sociedade e �� incerteza do futuro. Estas preocupa����es podem afetar a funcionalidade da fam��lia, constituindo as causas para diversas mudan��as e reajustes no seio familiar, manifestando-se maioritariamente na mudan��a de rotinas. Podendo tamb��m ocorrer mudan��as estruturais na fam��lia, como sendo o div��rcio. A rela����o dos pais com os filhos pode ser considerada como boa, caracterizada por sentimentos positivos e amor incondicional.

Autoefic��cia, caracter��sticas sociodemogr��ficas e capacita����o 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

Economia solid��ria e rela����es de g��nero na agricultura familiar: o caso do grupo produtivo mulheres decididas a vencer

The Women s experiences in the private sphere under the work s field changes the family relationship allowing them more freedom, autonomy and independence. The inequalities, socially built, homemade women s obligations results in discrimination, difficult to insert and recovery on female s job in a job s market, including low salary if compared with men s and difficult to services access in addiction a difficult daily life and in domestic sphere. The women s organisation in productive groups or economically solidary enterprises (ESE) torn possible the social economically organisations and politicians to promote deep changes in a domestically e socially relationship, positioning, for example, women s in publics areas and in the rout of emancipation. The objective of this search are understand men and women relationship in the family agriculture s field starts insert women in economically solidary enterprises (ESE) on Mulunguzinho s settlement (Mossor��/RN). The theoretical framework is inspirited Economical Solidary concept kind division s job and women s empowerment. This search had a qualitative character and exploration through case s study on Mulheres decididas a vencer s group. The secondary information was create through theoretical framework and information collected through semi-structured interviews based in interviews applied for women and yours respective husbands by criterion for women participation on productive activities of beekeeping culture of goat and sheep. This study turns possible conclude that the women s participations in productive groups in solidary economical change significantly their life and their family life.

This finding confirm a different aspect not economical in solidary economy overcoming the monetary value in associative relationship observing principally individuals well-being and the concern with the form of reproduction this way of life in the associated

De volta para os bra��os da rainha dos c��us: migra����o, mem��ria e festa em Caic��/RN

The present work has as an objective to seize up some particular meanings of the Feast of Sant Ana (The saint which represents the city of Caic��/RN), a central event of the calendar festive-religious of that city, looking for to perceive on how it combines with the symbolic poles sacred: profane through the social bonds that are present there performed and expressed through the social networking and of local belongings. Such bond ties reveal themselves through a very especial manner, through the migration of returning to the feast, when collectively are produced and updated knowledge and codes that reinforce the representation of the local belonging, nominated as being caicoense . We seek on perceiving how the many events of this feast (from a perspective of a religious order as well as laic) acting on a conclusive way to an identity of the re-meaning of that city, especially in its relation with the migrant natives: the sons and daughters that return to the arms of Sant Ana

Avalia����o do retinol em parturientes com diabetes mellitus gestacional no p��s parto imediato

Micronutrient deficiencies affect individuals mainly in developing countries, where vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem worldwide more worrying, especially in groups with increased physiological needs such as children and women of reproductive age. Vitamin A is supplied to the body through diet and has an important role in the visual process, cell differentiation, maintenance of epithelial tissue, reproductive and resistance to infection. The literature has demonstrated the relationship between vitamin A and diabetes, including gestational, leading to a risk to both mother and child. Gestational diabetes is any decrease in glucose tolerance of variable magnitude diagnosed each the first time during pregnancy, and may or may not persist after delivery. Insulin resistance during pregnancy is associated with placental hormones, as well as excess fat. Studies have shown that retinol transport protein produced in adipose tissue in high concentrations, this would be associated with resistance by interfering with insulin signaling. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the concentration of retinol in serum and colostrum from healthy and diabetic mothers in the immediate postpartum period. One hundred and nine parturient women were recruited, representing seventy-three healthy and thirty-six diabetic. Retinol was extracted and subsequently analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Among the results highlights the mothers with gestational diabetes were older than mothers healthy, had more children and a higher prevalence of cases of cesarean section. Fetal macrosomia was present in 1.4% of healthy parturient women and in 22.2% of diabetic mothers. The maternal serum retinol showed an average of 39.7 �� 12.5 mg/dL for healthy parturients 35.12 �� 15 mg/dL for diabetic and showed no statistical difference. It was observed that in the group of diabetic had 17% vitamin A deficiency, whereas in the healthy group, only 4% of the women were deficentes. Colostrum, the concentration of retinol in healthy was 131.3 �� 56.2 mg/dL and 125.3 �� 41.9 mg/dL in diabetic did not differ statistically. This concentration of retinol found in colostrum provides approximately 656.5 mg/day for infants born to healthy mothers and 626.5 mg/day for infants of diabetic mothers, based on a daily consumption of 500 mL of breast milk and need Vitamin A 400 mg/day, thus reaching the requirement of the infant. The diabetic mothers showed significant risk factors and complications related to gestational diabetes. Although no 11 difference was found in serum retinol concentration and colostrum among women with and without gestational diabetes, the individual analysis shows that parturients women with diabetes are 4.9 times more likely to develop vitamin A deficiency than healthy parturients. However, the supply of vitamin A to the newborn was not committed in the presence of gestational diabetes

Desenvolvimento ponderal de bubalinos da ra��a Murrah criados em pastagem de Brachiaria brizantha no Centro-Oeste do Estado de S��o Paulo, Brasil

Foram analisados os dados de desempenho ponderal de bubalinos Murrah do Sistema de Produ����o de Leite da Universidade Estadual Paulista, Faculdade de Medicina Veterin��ria e Zootecnia, campus de Botucatu. Os pesos foram corrigidos ��s diversas idades-padr��o e o modelo incluiu os efeitos de sexo (S), m��s (M) e ano (A) de nascimento, classe de idade da b��fala ao parto (C) e as intera����es S x M, S x A, S x C e M x A. As m��dias ajustadas e respectivos erros-padr��o estimados para as caracter��sticas estudadas foram: Peso ao Nascer (PN): 37,71 ± 8,25kg; Peso aos 120 dias (P120): 102,08 ± 16,27kg; Peso aos 240 dias (P240): 169,84 ± 22,83kg; Peso aos 365 dias (P365): 250,59 ± 25,12kg; Peso aos 550 dias (P550): 326,13 ± 39,27kg e Peso aos 730 dias (P730): 389,80 ± 31,26kg. O efeito de sexo (S) foi significativo somente para PN e P365, sendo que machos tenderam a nascer mais pesados que f��meas. O m��s de nascimento (M) exerceu efeito sobre o PN, P120 e P730 sendo que animais nascidos em maio foram os mais pesados ao nascer, enquanto os nascidos em janeiro e maio, foram os mais pesados aos 120 e 730 dias, respectivamente. O efeito de ano de foi significativo sobre o PN, P120, P240 e P730. Os filhos de b��falas das classes de idade 1 (3 anos ou menos) e da classe 6 (10,11 e 12 anos) foram os mais leves e mais pesados ao nascer, respectivamente. O fato de a classe de idade da b��fala n��o exercer efeito sobre os P365, P550 e P730 sugere que, em rebanhos comerciais possa ser feita a substitui����o de b��falas n��o gestantes por novilhas prenhes, apesar de esta pr��tica reduzir a m��dia de idade do rebanho de cria. Bubalinos da ra��a Murrah oriundos de rebanhos leiteiros podem ser utilizados para a produ����o de carne.

Maternidade e sindrome do down: Um estudo sobre o sentimento vinculado frente ao diagn��stico

Trata-se de um estudo de delineamento transversal de car��ter multidisciplinar, o qual conta com um estat��stico que contribuiu para o delineamento do estudo, realizando o c��lculo amostral e contribuindo efetivamente para an��lise dos dados e alunos de psicologia e pediatrias que contribu��ram para a coleta de dados. A literatura aponta que a transmiss��o inadequada do diagn��stico da S��ndrome de Down pode prejudicar o v��nculo m��e-beb�� e o posterior desenvolvimento da crian��a. Sendo assim, este estudo objetivou analisar os sentimentos maternos frente a este diagn��stico, verificando diferentes formas de transmiss��o e poss��veis facilitadores da aceita����o da S��ndrome. A amostra foi constitu��da por 20 m��es cujos filhos apresentam S��ndrome de Down, na faixa et��ria de 0 �� 03 anos e que recebem atendimento em ambulat��rio de um Hospital Universit��rio de Pediatria. Para coleta dos dados fez-se uso de um question��rio, ap��s a assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Os dados foram analisados atrav��s de dois softwares de processamento de dados, o SPSS e o ALCESTE (An��lise Lexical por Contexto de um Conjunto de Segmento de Texto). Os dados indicaram que 90% das m��es receberam o diagn��stico de S��ndrome de Down depois do parto. 75% dos diagn��sticos foram comunicados pelo m��dico pediatra e 15% pelas enfermeiras. As m��e referiram que o diagn��stico foi tardio, inadequado e insuficiente no informativo. Observouse que as entrevistadas viveram os mesmos sentimentos observados na literatura como: choque, nega����o, tristeza e ira, adapta����o e reorganiza����o. Tais resultados permitem concluir que o diagn��stico de SD nas m��es investigadas foi em sua maioria tardio, realidade comum no Brasil, principalmente quando se trata de classes econ��micas baixas. As m��es apontam que percebem este diagn��stico como tardio, inadequado e insuficiente no informativo, e gera sentimentos que a literatura j�� cita como comuns frente a esse tipo de diagn��stico. Portanto, observamos que a not��cia pode ser um fator que dificulte ou facilite o estabelecimento do v��nculo m��e-beb��, comprometendo a busca de recursos para o desenvolvimento da crian��a

An��lise da efetividade do transplante renal na qualidade de vida dos receptores no estado do Rio Grande do Norte

This study was developed with the aim of analyzing the effectiveness of renal transplantation on quality of life of kidney recipients in the Rio Grande do Norte State. This is a descriptive study with longitudinal design, panel type with quantitative approach to data analysis. The Quality of Life (QoL) of chronic disease kidney patients before and after kidney transplantation was assessed by the WHOQOL-bref, The population consisted of patients in pre and post-renal transplantation, the sample had 63 patients older than 18 years. The study was conducted after approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the Onofre Lopes University Hospital, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, No. CAAE 0008.0.294.000-10. Data collection was performed at a referral center for renal transplantation in Rio Grande do Norte, from May 2010 to May 2013. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in tables and graphs. For statistical analyzes, Microsoft Excel XP and SPSS 15.0 software were used. The tests used were simple variance (ANOVA), t-test, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test to compare means, and Spearman correlations. P values <0.05 were considered significant. The demographic data showed a predominance of people between 18 and 45 years (68.2%) with a mean age of 39.9 years (SD 12.2), male (63.5%), married (58.7%), with children (51.0%). Regarding the education level was observed that 49.2% of participants had completed primary school, and most did not engage in any work activity (90.4%) during the study period. Hemodialysis was the predominant renal replacement therapy (96.8%) and the average waiting time for execution of transplantation was 1.9 years (SD 1.9). Comparison of QoL before and after transplantation showed significant differences in all areas analyzed, demonstrating that kidney transplantation had a positive impact on QoL in chronic renal patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Sociodemographic factors did not influence the quality of life in this group of patients, indicating that transplantation was the main factor to explain the improvement in quality of life. Thus, the alternative hypothesis of the study was accept, that there is a significant difference in quality of life before and after kidney transplant. It is expected that the results of this study may contribute to the development of strategies to encourage organ donation and kidney transplantation process

Abordagem dos aspectos psicol��gicos da mulher inf��rtil :um estudo quali-quantitativo

Purpose: assess the frequency of stress and anxiety levels in infertile women, correlate these aspects with risk factors and qualitatively analyze feelings resultant from the inability to conceive, in order to obtain data for specific psychological guidance. Methods: the case-control study included a total of 302 women, 152 being infertile (case group: 30.3 �� 5.4 years), and 150 non-fertile (control group: 25.7 �� 7.9 years). The quantitative approach involved the application of Lipp s Stress Symptoms Inventory (LSSI) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), whereas the qualitative approach consisted of a semi-structured interview. Response variables considered were: stress frequency and anxiety scores (State and Trait). Statistical analysis compared frequencies and medians between groups, by means of qui-squared and Mann-Whitney tests, respectively, and constructed logistical regression models to test associations between response variables and risk factors considered. Qualitative data were analyzed descriptively and categorized in order to perform correspondence analysis. The level of significance was 5%. Results: in the study sample, stress frequency was higher in the case group than in the control(61.8 and 36.0%, respectively), however, significant differences were not observed between groups in relation to stress phases and predominant symptomology type. With respect to anxiety, there were no significant differences between case and control groups as to median state scores [39.5 (35.0 46.0) and 41.0 (35.7 47.0 ); respectively) and anxiety trait scores [44.0 (34.0 51.0) and 42.0 (36.0 49.2); respectively). Risk factors significantly associated with greater risk for high anxiety scores in the case group were: primary infertility, unawareness of the causal factor, diagnostic phase investigation, religion, lack of children from other marriages and the fact that the woman was previously married. The qualitative approach demonstrated that infertility provokes emotional responses, such as sadness, anxiety, anger, fear and guilt. Conclusions: it can be concluded that infertile women are more vulnerable to stress; however, they are capable of adapting to stressful events without serious physical or psychological compromising

Estudo de polimorfismos em genes relacionados ao metabolismo do ��cido f��lico e sua associa����o com o desenvolvimento de fendas orais n��o-sindr��micas

The congenital facial clefts are characterized by incomplete formation of the structures that separate the oral and nasal cavity. It is known that several environmental and genetic factors are involved in its development, among these, polymorphisms associated with folic acid metabolism have been investigated. In this sense, the objective was to observe the frequency of polymorphisms C677T and A1298C methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR), methionine synthase A2756G of (MTR), A66G of methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) A80G and the reduced folate carrier (RFC1) in patients with non-syndromic oral clefts, trying to match them with their development. Methods: We studied 140 patients with non-syndromic oral clefts and their mothers and 175 control subjects with their mothers, who underwent a questionnaire to obtain family information. Were collecting blood for DNA extraction from patients and their mothers to identify the genotypes of both by PCRRFLP, in addition to carrying out the determination of glucose, AST, ALT and serum creatinine, folic acid and vitamin B12 Serum and plasma homocysteine, and the hemogram. Results: Most patients have cleft lip and palate (55.8%), followed by isolated cleft palate (24.2%) and cleft lip (20%). Regarding gender, 62% of patients were male and 48% female and, after subdivision of the type of screwdriver according to sex was found a prevalence of males in the cracks of the type lip and palate (69 %) and lip (69.2%) and in the case of cleft palate was a female predominance (59%). The average concentration of serum folate in the group of mothers of cleft patients was significantly lower (13.8 �� 2.4 ng / mL) compared with the group of mothers of control subjects (18.8 �� 3.4 ng / mL) This was also observed for the group of cleft children as compared to controls, the dosage of folic acid had a significant difference with values of 15.6 �� 0.6 (ng / mL) and 17.9 �� 0.6 (ng / mL), respectively. For the biochemical measurements of glucose, AST, ALT and creatinine were not statistically different, nor was observed for haematological parameters performed. In assessing the frequency of polymorphisms C677T and A1298C MTHFR, A2756G MTR, MTRR A66G and A80G of the RFC1 there was no statistically significant difference in genotype distribution between cases and controls both for mothers and in the cleft. Conclusion: Although not observed association of polymorphisms with the development of cracks, the decrease in serum folate in the group of cleft patients and their mothers may reflect a disturbance in the metabolism of this metabolite, necessitating further studies such as studies methylation and expression to further elucidate the involvement of folate in the development of oral clefts
