Rastreio auditivo neonatal universal em Portugal : ponto da situação

Este estudo surgiu com o intuito de conhecer a realidade portuguesa dos programas de deteção e intervenção auditiva precoce no sentido de: compreender o funcionamento dos diferentes programas; analisar o seu nível de eficácia; propor estratégias para melhorar a sua funcionalidade. Para a concretização da investigação foram contatadas 57 hospitais/maternidades. Destas foram obtidas 40 respostas, sendo que em 3 instituições não é atualmente realizado o rastreio auditivo neonatal; 4 não responderam por opção ao questionário; 37 responderam ao questionário, 13 não deram resposta. Todos os dados recolhidos foram posteriormente utilizados para tratamento estatístico, assegurando a sua confidencialidade. Os protocolos de funcionamento dos programas da amostra em estudo são distintos, indo todos ao encontro das recomendações publicadas pelo Grupo de Rastreio e Intervenção da Surdez Infantil. Em 86,5% das instituições estudadas, os programas implementados são universais e a taxa de cobertura está entre os 92% e os 100%, sendo a sua média de 97,8%. Da amostra recolhida, seis instituições referiram não possuir os dados estatísticos do rastreio atualizados e disponíveis. A existência de uma base de dados nacional permitiria conhecer a realidade de todas as instituições, obtendo assim um melhor conhecimento sobre a qualidade de cada programa.

Family Models of In(ter)dependence: Cultural Change and the Question of Universal Needs

I will start by discussing some aspects of Kagitcibasi’s Theory of Family Change: its current empirical status and, more importantly, its focus on universal human needs and the consequences of this focus. Family Change Theory’s focus on the universality of the basic human needs of autonomy and relatedness and its culture-level emphasis on cultural norms and family values as reflecting a culture’s capacity for fulfilling its members’ respective needs shows that the theory advocates balanced cultural norms of independence and interdependence. As a normative theory it therefore postulates the necessity of a synthetic family model of emotional interdependence as an alternative to extreme models of total independence and total interdependence. Generalizing from this I will sketch a theoretical model where a dynamic and dialectical process of the fit between individual and culture and between culture and universal human needs and related social practices is central. I will discuss this model using a recent cross-cultural project on implicit theories of self/world and primary/secondary control orientations as an example. Implications for migrating families and acculturating individuals are also discussed.
