Published: February 2024

O presente estudo mostra uma pesquisa realizada com uma amostra-piloto com N=14 participantes, pacientes internados na enfermaria de clinica cardíaca do Hospital Evangélico Universitário de Curitiba (HUEC). O objetivo geral foi verificar junto a esses pacientes se a constelação de complexos correlatos aos sintomas das doenças cardíacas seriam modificadas por meio de intervenção psicológica focal. O método utilizado foi o quasi-experimental, tendo como instrumento o Teste de Associação de Palavras (Jung, 1995), que identifica os possíveis complexos ativados num indivíduo, possibilitando uma intervenção mais eficaz aos pacientes. O procedimento se deu pela seleção da amostra, aplicação do: TCLE, questionário socioeconômico, Teste de Associação de Palavras e o pedido de um desenho de um coração. Em seguida aconteceram as intervenções psicológicas, com abordagem junguiana, onde foram repetidas a aplicação do teste de associação e o desenho do coração, que serviram como mensuração dos dados. Os resultados mostram uma redução significativa dos complexos, medida pela queda no tempo de reação ao teste e nos demais distúrbios definidos por Jung. Concluindo, o trabalho com o teste de associação de palavras no ambiente hospitalar, possibilitou a identificação de conteúdos inconscientes contribuindo ainda, para uma maior eficácia das intervenções realizadas. Os pacientes entraram em contato com seus complexos, houve conscientização dos conteúdos, que diminuíram sua força. E, uma nova estratégia de atendimento em psicologia hospitalar foi adaptada pela autora: expressão de sentimentos via simbolização no desenho de um coração.

Published: February 2024

Introdução: O diagnóstico de cardiopatia na vida fetal é importante e o ecocardiograma fetal deve ser realizado em toda gestação. Para as gestantes é fundamental o desenvolvimento do apego com o feto, sendo este o protótipo da relação materno-filial. A ansiedade é comum ao longo do período gestacional, pois ocorrem mudanças corporais e emocionais. Objetivo: Testar se existe associação entre o grau de ansiedade e do apego materno-fetal das gestantes que se submetem ao rastreamento para cardiopatia fetal, em promoção de saúde. Método: Estudo de delineamento transversal com 219 gestantes, avaliadas por ficha com dados sociodemográficos, Escala de Apego Materno-Fetal de Cranley e a ansiedade pela escala BAI de Beck (Beck Anxiety Inventory). Resultados: A idade variou entre 15 e 45 anos, média de 27,7 ± 6,6 anos. Não houve significância estatística para associação entre ansiedade e apego materno-fetal (p= 0,385). Em 83,6 % das gestantes o nível de apego materno-fetal médio e 82,6% nível mínimo de ansiedade foi evidenciado. Verificou-se que o apego materno-fetal aumenta com a idade gestacional, mas que este não interfere na correlação entre ansiedade e apego (r=0,005, p=0,942). Conclusão: Foi observada homogeneidade da amostra quanto ao apego materno-fetal e a ansiedade, não havendo a associação entre estes.
Vergonha de ser, vergonha de ter
Authors: Santos Milena Mendonça dos , Trindade Iassodara Collyer Soares
Published: February 2024

O ser feminino é construído a partir de regras e valores sociais, internalizados através do processo de socialização dos indivíduos. A quebra destas regras pode resultar no aparecimento da vergonha. Esta pesquisa objetivou reconhecer o sentimento da vergonha nos relatos de puérperas soropositivas para o HIV, internadas em uma enfermaria de um hospital de referência materno-infantil. Foi utilizado o método qualitativo, mediante a realização de uma entrevista semiestruturada. Dez puérperas submetidas ao parto cesariano nesta instituição, soropositivas para o HIV, e dentro da faixa etária acima dos 18 anos, foram entrevistadas. Verificou-se que o sentimento da vergonha esteve presente no relato das puérperas. Discute-se o manejo da equipe de saúde que, uma vez treinada para apoiar e incentivar o aleitamento materno exclusivo, encontra dificuldades e muitas vezes adota posturas pouco funcionais frente às situações nas quais a contra-indicação do aleitamento materno produz nas pacientes sentimento de vergonha e sofrimento. Levando-se em consideração o exposto, torna-se necessário que a equipe de saúde reflita sobre as implicações de suas ações na vivência do HIV pelas puérperas, durante o período de hospitalização, a fim de não causar agravos a este processo, e de contribuir para melhoria da qualidade de vida destas.
Sofrimento psíquico e corpo
Authors: Catani Julia , Souza Maria Abigail de
Published: February 2024

Os transtornos somatoformes configuram-se como doenças não evidentes em exames laboratoriais ou que levam a um agravamento significativo de certas doenças orgânicas, em decorrência de conflito emocional. De modo geral, pacientes acometidos por estes transtornos sofreram experiências de maus tratos, abandono, violência física ou psicológica e abuso sexual. O presente artigo explora e discute a relevância de um trabalho multidisciplinar em hospital, apresentando a experiência da primeira autora em um ambulatório de Transtornos Somatoformes num hospital público de atenção terciária e as especialidades oferecidas na assistência a tais pacientes. A partir de uma revisão histórica da definição e configuração de um trabalho em equipe, discute-se as possibilidades e as limitações existentes para os profissionais no serviço. Além disso, busca-se refletir sobre as possíveis contribuições que a Psiquiatria e a Psicanálise poderiam oferecer ao tratamento desta população, considerando-se que, mesmo sem terapêuticas especificas, o vínculo entre o profissional e o paciente é fundamental na transformação dos sintomas.

Introdução: O crescimento da população idosa representa mudanças significativas na estrutura da pirâmide demográfica e etária de todo o mundo. Diante desse fenômeno, a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) preconiza a política do “envelhecimento ativo”, visando à promoção, proteção e reabilitação da saúde do idoso. Objetivo: Compreender as concepções de saúde no discurso de idosos. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa realizada com seis idosos em acompanhamento no ambulatório de geriatria de um hospital filantrópico na cidade de Recife-PE. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se uma entrevista individual semiestruturada, composta de questões abertas e, posteriormente, os resultados foram submetidos à Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados e Discussão: As concepções de saúde configuram sentidos de autonomia, capacidade funcional, resiliência, equidade nos serviços de saúde e humanização da assistência ao idoso. Conclusão: Para compreender as concepções de saúde no discurso dos idosos entrevistados fez-se necessária uma análise da realidade biopsicossocial em que estão inseridos e de suas condições de saúde. Neste sentido, considerou-se a importância do diálogo com a Gerontologia, campo de estudo e atuação multiprofissional/interdisciplinar do envelhecimento humano para uma compreensão integral da saúde do idoso.
O discurso do analista como possibilidade da Psicanálise Aplicada no hospital
Authors: Silva Alice Borges Humildes Cruz da
Published: February 2024

O hospital torna-se propício a um encontro entre o saber médico e o saber psicanalítico. Por um lado, se o discurso médico faz obstáculo à palavra do paciente e à sua singularidade, por outro, é necessário possibilitar um espaço à palavra daquele que sofre. Deve-se levar em consideração as variadas demandas dirigidas ao praticante da psicanálise, sendo necessário um saber sobre o manejo destas, para que o lugar e a função do praticante da psicanálise sejam alcançados.
criança gravemente doente fala sobre a morte
Authors: Arienti Marina Ferreira , Portela Marcos Vinícius Zoreck
Published: February 2024

Em nossa sociedade, a morte ocupa o lugar de interdito, principalmente quando se trata da morte de crianças. Pouco ou quase nada é dito sobre o tema nas instituições de saúde. O silêncio sobre o assunto revela o que se tenta esconder: o adoecimento e a morte da criança. O presente artigo discute os motivos do silêncio do adulto diante da iminência de morte da criança e a função dos atendimentos de psicologia como lugar de escuta e fala para essas crianças.

Reflexões sobre vivências da criança com câncer diante da morte
Authors: Barbato Karin Barrera de Almeida , Barbato Karin Barrera de Almeida , Antunes Katia Rodrigues , Lourenço Maria Teresa Cruz
Published: February 2024

A morte é um assunto pouco discutido na sociedade atual, constituindo-se em um verdadeiro tabu. E se é difícil falar de morte entre os adultos, a tarefa torna-se mais complexa quando envolve as crianças, já que infância e morte são duas realidades que parecem contraditórias. Este pensamento torna difícil a elaboração desse conceito em crianças que convivem diretamente com a possibilidade de morte, como a criança com câncer.

Authors: Rafihi-Ferreira Renatha El , Muller Mônica Rocha , Pires Maria Laura Nogueira
Published: February 2024

A apneia do sono é um distúrbio respiratório do sono que atinge 1% a 4% das crianças e está associada a prejuízos na saúde e qualidade de vida. Entre os tratamentos, recomenda-se a pressão positiva nas vias aéreas (PAP). Embora eficaz, a adesão ao tratamento com PAP é baixa em crianças. Considerando os prejuízos causados pela apneia do sono e a dificuldade na adesão ao tratamento via PAP, o presente estudo apresenta os achados da literatura especializada sobre as repercussões comportamentais da apneia do sono na infância e ilustra a contribuição da Psicologia do Sono nas práticas de saúde relacionadas à adesão ao tratamento com equipamentos de PAP.

Published: February 2024

Para entender o lugar da mulher na sociedade, tanto na antiguidade quanto nos dias atuais, há de se percorrer e conhecer a história da mulher, entendendo a formação de sua identidade, de seus grupos sociais, e principalmente seu posicionamento no contexto familiar . Uma das formas de se entende o lugar da mulher na sociedade é conhecendo a relação afetiva que esta estabelece com seus pares (companheiro, filho(s) e familiares). Compreender a construção de sua sexualidade ao longo da história e o que perpassa no seu imaginário em relação ao companheiro escolhido, traz uma compreensão de sua realidade atual e da evolução que ela vivenciou até então.

Authors: Almeida Raquel Ayres de
Published: February 2024

Este estudo, realizado através de uma revisão de literatura, dedicou-se a promover o conhecimento a respeito do impacto da mastectomia na vida da mulher. Para isso, investigou-se as possíveis modificações ocorridas na vida dessas mulheres no que se refere às repercussões psicológicas, relacionamento familiar, funcionamento social, imagem corporal e sexualidade, qualidade de vida e a possibilidade da reconstrução da mama. A literatura indica que o relacionamento familiar exerce um papel primordial na vida destas mulheres, funcionando como apoio e ajuda para suportarem melhor o diagnóstico e suas conseqüências. A mutilação da mama, um órgão característico da feminilidade, resulta na alteração negativa da imagem corporal, representando uma limitação estética e funcional que pode trazer prejuízo na satisfação sexual.
Employer Brand and Business Performance: The Role of Intellectual Capital
Authors: Slavkovic Marko , Ognjanovic Jasmina
Published: February 2024

Intangible assets play a vital role in the hotel industry, in general, and can also ensure the sustainability of a business during a crisis. The aim of the paper is to identify the impact of employer brand on the business performance of hotel companies, including the mediating effect of intellectual capital as an element of intangible assets. The research was conducted among managers who are employed in 92 hotels, and who evaluated the dimensions of the employer brand, business performance (organisational performance and market performance), and intellectual capital. The research hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The research model has supported the full mediating effect of intellectual capital between most of the employer brand dimensions and business performance. Results confirm the contribution of the employer brand to the business performance, with the support of intellectual capital and indicate the necessity of mutual use of intellectual capital and employer brand as key assets in a crisis.
Government-Funded Businesses: An Empirical Study of Romanian Start-Ups
Authors: Glavan Bogdan , Iordache Ana Maria Mihaela , Anghel Flavia , Grigorescu Ioana Gabriela , Ionescu Alexandru , Nechita Radu
Published: February 2024

Policymakers consider startups an essential sector of a dynamic and competitive economy. In this paper we assess the outcome of a Romanian program which provided a consistent subsidy to potential startup entrepreneurs. More specifically, we carry out a cluster and discriminant analysis to measure the economic performance of startup companies five years after their inception. The results show that there are three groups of businesses: companies with high capital and operational efficiency, companies with average profitability, and companies with low profitability, with substantial differences in turnover, profits, debt etc. We argue that these differences are attributable in part to the entrepreneur’s human capital and to the attempt to exploit the different fiscal treatment of labor and capital income. We also show that the public grant scheme had no durable impact on employment and on fixed assets, which suggests the presence of a significant crowding out and moral hazard effects.
The Battle for Pakistan
Authors: Nawaz Shuja
Published: February 2024

The Battle for Pakistan showcases a marriage of convenience between unequal partners. The relationship between Pakistan and the United States since the early 1950s has been nothing less than a whiplash-inducing rollercoaster ride. Today, surrounded by hostile neighbors, with Afghanistan increasingly under Indian influence, Pakistan does not wish to break ties with the United States. Nor does it want to become a vassal of China and get caught in the vice of a US-China rivalry, or in the Arab-Iran conflict.

Internally, massive economic and demographic challenges as well as the existential threat of armed militancy pose huge obstacles to Pakistan's development and growth. Could its short-run political miscalculations in the Obama years prove too costly? Can the erratic Trump administration help salvage this relationship?

Based on detailed interviews with key US and South Asian leaders, access to secret documents and operations, and the author’s personal relationships and deep knowledge of the region, this book untangles the complex web of the US-Pakistani relationship and identifies a clear path forward, showing how the United States can build better partnerships in troubled corners of the world.
A Visual History of Walking Sticks and Canes
Authors: Moss Anthony
Published: February 2024

A comprehensive study of walking canes from around the world, dating from the distant past to the modern-day. The book presents a historical context on both practical and ceremonial usage. At the same time, specially shot pictures showcase the celebrated A&D Collection of canes, while enlightening prose demonstrates the cane's enduring relevance to society.

More than just a mobility aid, the cane has held numerous offices of significance. From the staff of the legendary Monkey King in the classic Chinese Journey to the West, or the stylised crosiers carried by high-ranking prelates from the Roman Catholic church, to the truncheon wielded by Mr Punch in puppet shows, canes are embedded in the culture of almost every country around the globe. Roving the map with one hand and thumbing through history books with the other, A Virtual History of Walking Canes and Sticks seeks not only to introduce the collector to the diverse wealth of canes available but also to entertain the casual reader.

Intermingled with over 800 full-colour pictures are descriptions of gadget canes for tradesmen, squirting canes for pranksters, and glamorous Art Nouveau canes for the dapper gentlemen of the '20s. Informative and meticulously researched, this book paves an accessible route into a niche subject while paying homage to our ongoing relationship with canes. This story stretches back as far as history itself.
Copper King in Central Africa
Authors: Munene Hyden
Published: February 2024

Copper King in Central Africa offers a detailed account of the corporate history of the Rhokana/Rokana Corporation and its Nkana mine. Thematically and chronologically organised, it explores the discovery of viable ores on the Northern Rhodesian/Zambian Copperbelt in the late 1920s, which attracted foreign capital from South Africa, Britain and the USA, prompting the development of the Nkana mine and the formation of the Rhokana Corporation in the early 1930s. It follows through the evolution of the copper mining industry up to the re-privatisation of the Zambian mining sector in 1991.

The book ties into a single narrative the disparate themes of corporate organisation, labour relations, and profitability of Rhokana, demonstrating how the firm was, for a time, the most important mining entity in the Northern Rhodesian/Zambian mining industry. Rhokana was both an investment firm on the Copperbelt and a mining company through Nkana mine. Thus, the Corporation was central to the development and profitability of the copper industry in Zambia. Its corporate and labour policies influenced the Copperbelt as a whole. Employing the largest labour force in the mining sector, Rhokana spearheaded the labour movement on the Copperbelt. Its Nkana mine was also the largest producer of copper in the Northern Rhodesian mining industry between 1940 and 1953, and contributed hugely to the war economies of Britain and the USA. Throughout its history, Nkana was also a major source of cobalt. After nationalisation of the mining sector in 1970, Rhokana surrendered its investments in the wider copper industry, but remained central to the Copperbelt’s smelting and refining operations, owning the biggest metallurgical facilities in the industry.
Prelude to Pearl Harbor
Authors: Gripentrog John
Published: February 2024

In this absorbing account of the origins of the Asia-Pacific War, historian John Gripentrog argues that competing ideologies of world order—chiefly the rift between liberal internationalism and Pan-Asian regionalism—lay at the heart of the conflict. Drawing from a rich diversity of primary and secondary sources, the author also examines the Japanese government’s vigorous cultural diplomacy in the U.S., which sought to win over American hearts and minds and soft-pedal its imperialist ambitions in Asia. The result is a book that both challenges and amplifies standard interpretations of US-Japan relations in the interwar era, while weaving diplomatic, political, intellectual, and cultural history. Moreover, the author’s wide-angle lens offers readers insights into a fascinating assemblage of historical actors—from Japanese and American diplomats, politicians, and military leaders, to cosmopolitan art enthusiasts and major league baseball players.
This Suffering Is My Joy
Authors: Mungello D. E.
Published: February 2024

Tracing the little-known history of the first underground Catholic church in China, noted scholar D. E. Mungello illuminates the period between the imperial expulsion of foreign Christian missionaries in 1724 and their return with European colonialism in the 1800s. Few realize that this was the first time in which Chinese, rather than Europeans, came to control their own church as Chinese clergy and lay leaders maintained communities of clandestine Catholics.

Mungello follows the church in a time of persecution, focusing in particular on the role of Chinese clergy and lay leaders in maintaining communities of clandestine Catholics during the eighteenth century. He highlights the parallels between the 1724 and 1951 expulsions of missionaries from China, the first driven by a Chinese imperial system and the second by a revolutionary Communist government. The two periods also reflected foreign bias against the Chinese priests and laity and questions about their spiritual depth and constancy. However, Mungello shows that the historical record of incarcerated and interrogated Christians reveals a spiritually inspired resistance to government oppression and a willingness to suffer, often to the point of martyrdom.
Politics Inc.
Authors: Raidt John
Published: February 2024

The book examines the dynamics driving the country’s deeply troubled political culture and highlights reforms needed in the post-Trump era to strengthen US democracy. The author paints a clear and sobering portrait of a mercenary election industry and its support structure tailored to perpetuate and exploit America's social and political division. He shows how corrosive partisan animosity, dysfunctional political institutions, and even Trumpism are symptoms of a broken system dominated by a self-serving party duopoly. Having hacked the democratic process for its own ends, the cartel’s intrigues continue to undermine functional compromise and the virtues essential for self-governance. Without timely structural reform outlined in the narrative, Politics Inc., abetted by technological, social, and cultural factors, will continue to undermine the country from the far right and far left. The stakes could not be higher. At risk is the nation’s security and the future of democracy at home and around the globe.
The Search for Meaning at Work
Authors: Van Valin Steve
Published: February 2024

Offers a path to purpose and meaning at work to engage and support employees at every level.

While recent studies have shown that companies with high levels of employee engagement have 40% less turnover, half the absenteeism rate, and double the net profit compared to companies with low engagement, many firms continue to struggle with engaging their employees, and a mass exodus in under way. Business leaders are unprepared to deliver the type of culture and leadership that infuses the work experience of their employees with purpose and meaning. No surprise that a recent Gallup survey showed that only 15% of employees consider themselves engaged in their work.

In The Search for Meaning at Work Steve Van Valin, an organizational culture consultant and former long-time executive with QVC, provides talent leaders and managers at all levels with a focused awareness and a robust set of actionable tools to meet the talent challenge head-on. Building on the research of Harvard professor Dr. Teresa Amabile and others, Van Valin’s model is based on eleven “Amplifiers of Meaning” that identify and describe the core purpose that gives work meaning. Without purpose, there is no meaning, Van Valin argues, and without meaning there is no true engagement. For many employees and their managers, the purpose that drives an employee’s motivation to work remains hidden; as a result, employees are disengaged, leaving managers and leaders frustrated as they search for answers.

Van Valin’s approach is a confident and creative challenge to leaders to think differently – with greater empathy for the power of purpose and meaning in people’s lives. Each chapter contains personal observations, revealing anecdotes, and a playbook, which provides specific and relevant actions/steps the reader can follow to amplify meaning in ways that inspire high-performance.

1. The book is anchored on providing specific actionable ideas to promote purpose and meaning. It is a practical guide, not just a philosophical work on a lofty subject.

2. No other book fully defines purpose and meaning and brings to light the dynamics between them. Doing so provides a high level of awareness for the reader that leads to the practical application of emotional intelligence when making the “everyday” better choices.

3. The book research, model, and actionable ideas are directly transferable as content for teaching the Amplify concept via classroom, online, and webinar delivery.
The Post-Pandemic Library Handbook

The Post-Pandemic Library Handbook provides an approach for re-opening, re-engineering and redesigning library facilities, resources, services and staff.

American Library Association Past-President Julie Todaro developed this Handbook to provide a path forward for all types and sizes of libraries.

She uses narrative and technical writing (with dozens of checklists, examples, recommendations and 30+ tables) to take a detailed look at where we are and where we need to be.

Because no function, resource or service was left unaffected by the pandemic, chapters and tables allow readers to assign their own timelines to stages.

Handbook chapters include: Facilities: Services, Support, and Storage Spaces; Collections and Resources; Assessment and Accountability; Human Resources, Critical Training, and Education; Communication during Emergency Events; Management and Organizational Design: Unique Issues; Leadership during Extreme Emergencies: The Pandemic; Pitfalls, Problems, Mistakes, and Failures; Service Access and Delivery; and, Public Relations, Marketing, and Branding.

Appendices feature tools for operational and strategic planning; an approach for prioritizing current and upcoming pandemic information; and an annotated list of 28+ resources tracked during the COVID years to assist in updating data for background and decision making.

Abstract text
An Investigation of the Knowledge and Preferences of Parents About Dental Preventive Practices
Authors: Kızılay Fatma Nur , Ayhan Kızılcı Esra , Mahyaddinova Türkan , Gümüşboğa Zekiye Şeyma
Published: February 2024

Objective: Dental caries poses a significant health concern affecting, 60%-90% of children globally. While fluoride is widely utilized to prevent and eliminate dental caries, recent negative media coverage and concerns about irresponsible fluoride use have prompted a shift in parental perspectives. This study explores parental knowledge, preferences, and attitudes regarding preventive measures, with a focus on fluoride and potential natural or herbal alternatives.
Methods: Our research was designed as a survey study. A survey form consisting of 11 questions was delivered to parents of children aged 6–14 years and presented to the Erciyes University Department of Pediatric Dentistry for examination or treatment were included in the study. A total of 300 parents participated in the study. Data was recorded as numbers and percentages.
Results: Of the parents, 69% (207) reported that if they were offered natural herbal compounds instead of fluorinated varnish, they would prefer natural alternatives. A statistically significant relationship was found between the responses received from the parents about the effects of fluoride and the educational level of the parents (p<0.05). Only 4 (1.3%) university graduate parents stated that fluoride had harmful effects. We found that 80.95% of the fathers and 68.39% of the mothers stated that they would prefer natural or herbal alternatives for their children instead of fluorinated varnish, and this was a statistically significant result (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Parents do not have sufficient knowledge and attitudes about preventive practices in oral dental health, and some parents still avoid the use of fluoride products. Therefore, there is a need to increase fluoride intake and its effects on children's health by educating parents or informing dentists.

Faktor penghambat terdapat dalam proses pelaksanaan program inovasi pelayanan antar langsung yaitu kesalahan dalam penginputan data alamat pemohon mengakibatkan para petugas pelayanan antar langsung mengalami kesulitan dalam pengantaran berkas mengakibatkan terjadinya salah pengantaran berkas yang tertukar. Dan kesalahan yang terdapat pada pemohon layanan yang tidak lengkap memeberikan alamat kepada petugas pelayanan antar langsung (Petarung). Rekomendasi dari Pelayanan Antar Langsung ini masyarakat tidak perlu datang lagi ke kantor untuk mengambil berkas atau produk karna para petugas akan mengantar langsung kerumah pemohon. Saran yang dapat penulis berikan mengenai proses pelaksanan inovasi pelayanan antar langsung di Badan Pertanahan Nasional Kota Pekanbaru agar dapat berjalan secara optimal adalah : petugas petarung harus lebih teliti lagi dalam penginputan data alamat pemohon,dan masyarakat harus lebih lengkap lagi memberikat alamat yang akan di antar berkasnya kepada petugas petarung agar petugas pelayanan antar langsung tidak mengalami kesulitan dalam pencarian alamat pemohon.
