title: Psychofunctional Symptoms and Maternal Depression: A Qualitative Study

description: Abstract This study aimed to understand the manifestation of psychofunctional symptoms in infants between six and 12 months, whose mothers presented depression. For this purpose, multiple case studies with three mother-infant pairs were qualitatively performed, and the following instruments were administered: interviews on socio-demographic and clinical data, M.I.N.I. PLUS, Symptom Checklist Questionnaire, EPDS, interview about pregnancy, childbirth and maternity experience, as well as IAP. The results showed the presence of several risk factors for depression common to all mothers, as well as singular psychodynamic aspects related to their life story. Also, we identified difficulty in the mother-infant interaction in all cases, indicating that depression damages the mother in the exercise of motherhood and in the tasks that this period demands, especially in interpreting to the baby what his/her body is expressing. Therefore, the psychofunctional symptom can be seen as a defensive response by the infant to maternal difficulties of understanding the baby’s body manifestations and interpreting them.

title: Neupsilin-Inf in a Model of Brief Neuropsychological Assesment for Health Centers

description: Abstract This study aimed to analyze the use of NEUPSILIN-Inf in a model of brief neuropsychological assessment for children attending a helthcare service. The steps followed in the brief neuropsychological assessment model are waiting room, children’s group, and individual assessment. The analysis of this model’s efficacy in detecting cognitive deficits through NEUPSILIN-Inf was conducted by comparing the performance of 171 children with possible developmental disorders to 358 children from the normative sample of NEUPSILIN-Inf. The clinical group showed lower performance in all NEUPSILIN-Inf’s tasks. The set of data derived from the evaluation model can underlie diagnostic hypotheses, such as intellectual disabilities, learning disorders or specific language impairment. Taking into account the restrictive public care for children with possible developmental disorders, this model can be considered a cost-effective possibility to be accomplished by health centers in different Brazilian regions.

title: Similarities and Differences of Children/Caregivers at Traning-Clinic of Psychology and Psychiatry

description: Abstract In order to provide the best care to children and adolescents referred for university-based psychology and psychiatry centers, this research describes and compares the profile of families who looked for treatment in these services. Forty mothers and children were assessed (20 participants in each group - Waiting list for psychological counseling or psychiatric care). The mothers completed the Child Behavior Checklist, Beck Depression Inventory, Marital Adjustment Scale and semi-structured interview. The children referred to psychiatry services had higher scores in the clinical range for somatic complaints, thought problems and externalizing problems. The comparison of the caregivers’ profiles indicated that the choice of the type of service for the child was related to maternal variables, since mothers with greater adversity levels and depression choose drug treatment. This highlights the importance of simultaneously care for mother and child and proposals to ensure demand and adherence to psychological treatment.

title: Reference Center Evaluation of Health Worker Cearense by Users and Trade Union Representative

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the Ceará State Occupational Health Reference Center (CEREST) based on the beliefs of union representatives and users. For this purpose a qualitative descriptive-exploratory applied field research was conducted. Participants included three representatives of trade unions and five users who answered a semi-structured interview. The information was submitted to Bardin content analysis and analysis of textual data with support of the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ). The results showed barriers in the management and lack of clarity of CEREST’s functions as well as lack of professionals. We conclude that there is a gap between prescribed and real work due to political obstacles and management problems that end up distancing CEREST’s actions from its goal of prevention and promotion of workers’ health.

title: Validity Evidences of Passion towards Work Scale in Brazilian Samples

description: Abstract The study adapted and gathered evidence of internal structure, convergent validity and internal consistency of the Passion For Work Scale in the Brazilian context. The sample consisted of 504 Brazilian workers of both sexes (55% female) with a mean age of 33.32 years. Participants answered presential or online versions of the instruments for the evaluation of passion for work and positive and negative feelings and attitudes towards work. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Brazilian version of the scale fully reproduced the original instrument internal structure, consisting of 14 items and two factors (Harmonious Passion and Obsessive Passion). These factors showed positive or negative correlations with attitudes and sentiments towards work, as predicted by the hypotheses. It was concluded that the instrument presented psychometric properties that recommend its use in future studies to assess the degree of passion for work.

title: Marital Conflict Management of Married Men and Women

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate constructive and destructive conflict resolution strategies used by married women and men, as well as the association of these strategies with sociodemographic and relationship variables. Participants were 750 heterosexual couples living in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, who answered the Conflict Resolution Behavior Questionnaire - CRBQ and 16 questions about sociodemographic data and relationship characteristics. Variance and correlation analyses were conducted in order to verify the differences and associations between the study variables. The “compromise” conflict resolution strategy was used more by men compared to women, and women used the “attack” strategy more often when compared to men. For both, religiosity was correlated with constructive strategies, whereas having children was associated with destructive strategies. Considering these findings, the aspects that can favor constructive management of conflicts by spouses are discussed.

title: Cross-cultural Adaptation of an Instrument to Assess Coparenting: Coparenting Relationship Scale

description: Abstract Coparenting refers to mothers and fathers articulating their efforts to raise their children. Currently, there are no instruments to measure this construct in Brazil. In this study, the adequacy of a cross-cultural adaptation of the Coparenting Relationship Scale (CRS) (Escala da Relação Coparental - ERC) was evaluated, examining evidence of semantic, conceptual, cultural, idiomatic, operational and measurement equivalence, and face validity. Two independent research groups adapted the CRS and then produced a unified version, completed by 171 couples with at least one child between 4 to 6 years of age. The precision of the subscales, measured using Cronbach’s alpha, varied between .16 - .83. Four subscales had good precision in the Brazilian sample, but the precision of the “Division of Labor”, “Coparenting Closeness”, and “Coparenting Agreement” subscales needs to be improved and additional evidence of the validity of this instrument must be examined, so the CRS can be used in Brazil.

title: Emotional regulation, symptoms of anxiety and depression in women with a history of intimate partner violence

description: Abstract This study evaluated depression, anxiety and emotional regulation levels in 47 women who experienced conjugal violence. Furthermore, it was investigated the severity of violence situations and the level of aggression suffered and perpetrated by women. Finally, we investigated possible differences in levels of depression, anxiety and emotional regulation between women who had reported suffering violence and those who reported suffering and perpetrating violence. The results indicated mild levels of anxiety, moderate levels of depression and emotional dysregulation among participants, showing significant correlations. The comparison between the group of women who had reported suffering violence and those who had suffered and perpetrated violence did not indicate differences in depression, anxiety and emotional regulation levels. These results show that exposure to intimate partner violence represents a risk factor for women’s mental health and that psychological evaluation is useful for the development of intervention strategies adjusted to clinical demands.

title: Management of Parents for their Children Expressing Anger

description: Abstract The father and the mother have a fundamental importance in the psychosocial development of children, as well as in the regulation of emotions. The objective of this research was to investigate the management of parents in the face of the expression of anger in male and female children. A total of 26 couples participated in the research, including couples that have two children from six to 12 years old. For data collection we used a general data questionnaire, the Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria, a structured interview, and a story-stimulus. We verified that the strategies most used by parents against their children’s anger were problem-centered reactions and punitive reactions, respectively adaptive and maladaptive strategies. Both fathers and mothers tended to react with a greater minimization with the son and more distractedly with the daughter. It is concluded that fathers and mothers use the same strategies for both sexes against their children’s anger expressions, but there are some gender differences in parental practice.

title: Effect of age and schooling in the NEUPSILIN Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument

description: Abstract This study investigated the effects of age and schooling and their interactions on the performance of adults in the NEUPSILIN Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument, which evaluates time and space orientation, attention, perception, memory, language, calculation, motor functions, and executive functions. The sample was composed of 627 healthy adults (19 to 90 years), who were divided into three groups according to education range (1 to 4, 5 to 8 and 9 or more years of study) and into four groups by age range (19-39, 40-59, 60-75 and 76-90 years). We identified age and schooling effects in attention, perception, memory (working, verbal episodic, semantic, visual and prospective memory), oral and written language, motor functions, and executive functions. Interactions between age and schooling were observed in attention, verbal memory, and oral and written language tasks. The results highlighted that aging and schooling impact cognitive functions heterogeneously, and that Brazilian neuropsychological tests should always consider the influence of these variables to produce their normative data.

title: Cancer recurrence: perspectives of hospital staff on the difficulties of pediatric patients

description: Abstract In pediatric oncology, the survival rate has risen considerably, and nowadays the probability of cure is very high. However, the process of fighting the disease can suffer some setbacks, namely a relapse. This event is responsible for high suffering, which may be even greater than dealing with the diagnosis of cancer. Aiming to understand the perceptions of oncology professionals regarding the main difficulties experienced by children/adolescents whose cancer relapsed, the authors developed a study in which the professionals’ perspective was explored. A group of 17 professionals (from the areas of health, social work, psychology and education), working in two Portuguese hospitals, was interviewed. Their reflections indicated that the main difficulties during relapse were the acceptance of having to undergo such a - physically and psychologically - painful process all over again, and among adolescents, who are more aware of the severity of the disease and its implications, also difficulties in keeping up hope. Among the youngest, professional pointed out as more common the difficulty in understanding why they have to be resubmitted to such painful treatments and be parted from their life contexts. Emphasizing recurrence as a particularly challenging stage of the oncologic disease, this study brings a multifocal view of a group of professionals who closely follow these children/adolescents (and their families) all the way trough. Their long and diverse experience - in terms of type of cancer, evolution of the disease, age and/or temperament of the patients (and the parents’ themselves) - make these professionals key informants in the mapping of the difficulties related to the pediatric oncological relapse, as well as in the design and implementation of more adjusted responses to the phenomenology of these processes.
