Adaptation of babies in three types of placement: An ethological approach.

The present pilot study focuses on the adaptive processes of babies who are placed during their first months of life. It used an ethological approach to explore the behavioural adjustment of 19 infants from their arrival in placement through their first 6 weeks in Residential Care (RC; France), a Foster Family (FF; Québec) or an Infant-Mother Centre (IMC; Québec). Direct observations were conducted once a week during feeding sessions. Observed behaviours were as follows: sleep-wake state, self-soothing, burp, visual exploration, motor activity, facial and vocal expressions. Then, a Kruskal-Wallis test was conducted to examine differences in babies' adaption as a function of placement setting. Results showed that, in RC, the duration of the post-feeding phase is the shortest. Moreover, these institutionalized babies showed the most modes of self-protection and the fewest vocalizations. By contrast, babies placed in the IMC spent the least time in withdrawal, expressed motor activity more regularly and were never placed back in their recliner before burping. Larger differences appear comparing placement in RC and that in the IMC, the placement in FF showing intermediate results.

El presente estudio piloto se enfoca en los procesos adaptivos de los bebés que son colocados durante sus primeros meses de vida. El estudio utilizó un acercamiento etológico para explorar la adaptación de comportamiento de diecinueve infantes a partir de su llegada al lugar donde se les colocó y a lo largo de sus primeras seis semanas en cuidado residencial (Francia) o dentro de una familia que les dio acogida (Quebec), o en un centro de infante-madre (Quebec). Se llevaron a cabo observaciones directas una vez por semana durante las sesiones de alimentación. Los comportamientos observados fueron: el estado de dormir-despertar, el auto-calmarse, el eructo, la exploración visual, la actividad motora, las expresiones faciales y vocales. Luego, un examen Kruskal-Wallis se llevó a cabo para examinar las diferencias en la adaptación de los bebés como una función del escenario de colocación. Los resultados mostraron que, en el cuidado residencial, la duración de la fase posterior a la alimentación es la más corta. Es más, estos bebés colocados en instituciones mostraron más maneras de auto-protección y memos vocalizaciones. En contraste, los bebés colocados en el centro de infante-madre pasaron el menor tiempo en retracción, expresaron actividad motora más regularmente y nunca se les puso de vuelta en el sillón reclinable antes de los eructos. Diferencias mayores aparecen, comparando el lugar de colocación en cuidado residencial y en el centro de infante-madre, mientras que la colocación en familias que les acogen mostró resultados intermedios.

Cette étude pilote porte sur les processus d'adaptation des bébés qui sont placés en famille durant les premiers mois de leur vie. Nous avons utilisé une approche éthologique afin d'explorer l'ajustement comportemental de dix-neuf nourrissons depuis leur arrivée en placement et au fil de leurs six premières semaines en soin résidentiel (en France) et en famille d'accueil (au Québec) ou dans un centre nourrisson-mère (au Québec). Des observations directes ont été faites une fois par semaine durant les séances d'allaitement. Les comportements observés étaient: l'état de sommeil-éveil, l'auto-apaisement, le rot, l'exploration visuelle, l'activité motrice, les expressions faciales et vocales. Ensuite un test Kruskal-Wallis a été fait afin d'examiner les différences dans l'adaptation des bébés comme une fonction du contexte de placement. Les résultats ont montré qu'en soin résidentiel la durée de la phase d'après allaitement est la plus courte. De plus ces bébés placés en institution ont fait preuve du plus de modes d'auto-protection et de moins de vocalisations. En contraste, les bébés placés en centre nourrisson-mère ont passé le moins de temps en sevrage, ont exprimé une activité motrice plus régulièrement et n'ont jamais été remis dans leur siège inclinable avant le rot. On constate des différences plus importantes en comparant ces données entre le placement résidentiel et celui en centre nourrisson-mère, le placement en famille d'accueil montrant des résultats immédiats.

[Health consequences (mortality and institutionalization) of hip fracture among the elderly people: Population cohort study in Segovia]. / Consecuencias en salud (mortalidad e institucionalización) de la fractura de cadera en la población anciana. Estudio de cohortes poblacional en Segovia.

OBJECTIVE: In order to know the social and health consequences of hip fractures (HF). DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study of an entire health area was carried out in patients aged 75 or more, over a period of 5 years. SITE: Segovia Health Area. PARTICIPANTS: All patients older than 75 years with a diagnosis of HF, excluding displaced and passerby. INTERVENTIONS: The socio-sanitary changes that occur after the HF in respect to their baseline situation (family situation, comorbidities, dependence and mental situation) and the variables which most influence mortality and institutionalization after the HF were analyzed. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: One thousand one hundred fifty-nine HF were recorded, with a constant annual incidence of 10.7‰. The prevalence was higher in women: 7.4% versus 3.7%. RESULTS: The baseline profile is a pluripatological, non-institutionalized, 87-year-old woman, who retains her independent in her daily life and suffers from a HF due to an accidental fall in her home. At the end of the study period 51% were permanently institutionalized, negatively influencing having worse mental deterioration, worse dependence and subsequent readmissions and in addition, 45.5% died, 25.5% during the first year. The most unfavorable conditions were being previously dependent, having severe mental deterioration, male and within the comorbidities the most influential was previously having an anemia. CONCLUSIONS: Our data confirms the deterioration of the autonomy-functional capacity after a HF, in line with what has been published, and has allowed to identify which elderly people are at the greatest risk of complications in the short and medium term (institutionalization and death).

[Differences between institutionalized patients and those included in a home care program in Seville]. / Diferencias entre pacientes institucionalizados y pacientes en atención domiciliaria en la provincia de Sevilla.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the characteristics and clinical differences between institutionalised patients and those included in a home care program. DESIGN: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and multicentre study. Site Seville, 2016. STUDY SUBJECTS: A total 1857 elderly patients of similar characteristics (1441 institutionalised and 416 at home) in Seville in 2016. MEASUREMENTS: The variables studied included gender, age, civil status, family support, pathologies, multiple pathology criteria, and medication prescriptions. Functional and cognitive status was evaluated using the Barthel index, and the Lawton-Brody and Pfeiffer scales. RESULTS: The majority of patients (71.40%) were women. The fact of being institutionalised or being included in a home care program were statistically related to the following pathologies and categories: schizophrenia (p<.001), arterial hypertension (p=.012), diabetes mellitus (p=.001), atrial fibrillation (p<.001), and neoplasia (p=.012), A1 (p=.012), A2 (p<.001), B1 (p<.001), B2 (p=.002), C (p<.001), E1 (p<.001), E3 (p=.01), F2 (p<.01), G2 (p=.024), and H (p=.005). The mean Barthel index of the sample was 49.1±34.45 (95% confidence interval: 47.49-50.7). The mean Lawton-Brody scale in the case of patients included the home care program was 2.33±2.49 and in those institutionalised 1.59±2.12. The mean Pfeiffer scale was 4.93±3.53. CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive impairment was related to institutionalisation, being a result of possible neurological (E3 category) and psychiatric diseases. On the other hand, patient comorbidity was not related to it, because it is very high in patients included in a home care program, in whom functional and cognitive independency status is better.

[Frailty as a predictor of 3-year mortality in older adult patients in long-term care in Mexico]. / Fragilidad como predictor de mortalidad a 3 años en los pacientes adultos mayores en cuidados de largo plazo en México.

INTRODUCTION: The objective of our study was to evaluate the long-term association between mortality and frailty in institutionalized patients in Mexico. Worldwide, there are limited lines of research in this population of geriatric patients and this entity generates a significant impact on the quality of life and prognosis of our patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It is a prospective cohort study of 81 patients in long-term care who met the selection criteria. Frailty was determined using the FRAIL scale. Data on mortality were collected during the follow-up period, and diagnosis was monitored. The risk of presenting this event was determined by logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox proportional hazards analysis, adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS: The mean follow-up time of the patients was 36 months (1094 days), during which 33 subjects died (40.7%). In our population, at the beginning of the study the vast majority of frail patients had pathologies that independently generate risk of adverse events, disability (Barthel=30.9; SD 28.8), sarcopenia (n=40; 71.4%), one to 3 falls in the last year (n=17; 63%), ≥4 falls (n=4; 57.1%). Frail participants had a higher adjusted risk of mortality (HR 2.93; 95% CI 1.33-6.43; p=0.007). CONCLUSIONS: The frailty entity is associated in the long term with mortality in institutionalized patients in Mexico. Timely treatment and approach may allow a good prognosis and quality of life.

[Cognitive, Emotional and Dependency Level on Institutionalized Older Adults]. / Estado cognitivo, emocional y nivel de dependencia en personas adultas y mayores institucionalizadas.

INTRODUCTION: It is necessary to analyze the aging process in institutionalized older people. For this purpose, a descriptive and analytical epidemiological study was carried out in nursing homes for older adults before the COVID-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVE: Provide an in-depth insight into cognitive (MEC), emotional (Geriatric Depression Scale), and functional (Barthel Scale) status within the older adult participants. METHOD: A sample of 973 participants analyzed the relationship between cognitive status, vulnerability to depression, and autonomous performance in Daily Day Activities (DDA) to predict the impact of the comorbidity of these variables. Therefore, in addition to the general distribution of the sample in the previously mentioned dimensions, differences were analyzed according to gender, age, educational level, and geographic area. RESULTS: The results confirm the hypothesis that a more impaired cognitive state is associated with higher levels of depression and lower functional capacity. The MEC scores have positive and highly significant correlations with Barthel and Yesavage. The relationship between dementia and autonomy is observed for both sexes, while the relationship between dementia and depression is only observed in women. The educational level influences the MEC scores (the more education, the better performance) and the Barthel scores (the less education, the greater dependency). Statistically significant differences were also found depending on the area of residence location. CONCLUSIONS: The more deteriorated cognitive state will be associated with a higher level of depression and lower functional capacity in daily life activities.

Self-perceived quality of life by institutionalised adults with cerebral palsy in Spain.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the self-perceived quality of life of institutionalized adults with cerebral palsy and to identify factors that influence their well-being, including sociodemographic, clinical, and diagnostic characteristics, as well as the degree of institutionalization. METHOD: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using the San Martin Quality of Life Scale among adults with cerebral palsy. Data were collected in 2021 and 2022 in a sample of adults with cerebral palsy in Navarra, Spain. Multivariate regression was used to explore the relationship between quality of life and various influential factors. RESULTS: The self-determination dimension positively influenced quality of life scores, whereas the social inclusion dimension had the opposite effect. Descriptive and regression analyses revealed that factors such as residing outside the city and a high degree of dependency had a negative influence on quality of life, while the degree of institutionalization had a positive impact. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to highlight the positive effects of the degree of institutionalization on rehabilitation and well-being, as it seeks to enhance autonomy and social integration when talking about patient-centered models of institutionalization.

One-year mortality and associated factors in patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture. / Mortalidad al año y factores asociados en pacientes llevados a cirugía por fractura de cadera.

INTRODUCTION: Hip fractures are very common injuries in elderly patients and are associated with increased mortality. OBJECTIVE: To identify the factors associated with mortality in patients after one year of being operated for hip fracture in an Orthogeriatric Program. METHODS: We design an observational analytical study in subjects older than 65 years admitted to the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio for hip fracture who were treated in the Orthogeriatrics Program. Telephone follow-up was performed one year after admission. Data were analyzed using a univariate logistic regression model and a multivariate logistic regression model was applied to control the effect of the other variables. RESULTS: Mortality was 17.82%, functional impairment was 50.91%, and institutionalization was 13.9%. The factors associated with mortality were moderate dependence (OR=3.56, 95% CI=1.17-10.84, p=0.025), malnutrition (OR=3.42, 95% CI=1.06-11.04, p=0.039), in-hospital complications (OR=2.80, 95% CI=1.11-7.04, p=0.028), and older age (OR=1.09, 95% CI=1.03-1.15, p=0.002). The factor associated with functional impairment was a greater dependence at admission (OR=2.05, 95% CI=1.02-4.10, p=0.041), and with institutionalization was a lower Barthel index score at admission (OR=0.96, 95% CI=0.94-0.98, p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our results shows that the factors associated with mortality one year after hip fracture surgery were: moderate dependence, malnutrition, in-hospital complications and advanced age. Having previous functional dependence is directly related to greater functional loss and institutionalization.

[Guilt and well-being in institutionalized family caregivers of dependent older adult people]. / Culpa y bienestar en cuidadores familiares de personas mayores dependientes institucionalizadas.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The experience of family caregivers after nursing home admission has received much less attention, probably because many caregivers experience an initial sense of initial emotional relief. However, for some caregivers nursing home admission is a stressor despite the reduced physical burden of caregiving. Caregiver distress following institutionalization has been related to the new burdens and challenges encountered in the nursing home. Ambivalence and guilt related to the institutionalization decision have been identified as sources of stress. Therefore, this study examined the effect of guilt and well-being on the perceived stress of family caregivers of institutionalized dependent persons. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and one family caregivers of institutionalized persons in a nursing home (La Rioja, Spain) participated. Perceived stress, caregiving guilt and subjective well-being, sociodemographic and caregiving-related variables were assessed. Linear regression analyses and correlations between variables were performed. RESULTS: Guilt and five dimensions of well-being (anxiety, vitality, self-control and depression, except general health) significantly predicted stress (R2adj=.552 (F (6, 198)=41.71, P<.001)). The effect size was large (95% CI=.461). CONCLUSIONS: Paying attention to family caregivers' feelings of guilt during institutionalization is important. This will enable the design and implementation of psychosocial interventions that improve caregiver adjustment immediately after institutionalization.

[Mortality and use of healthcare resources in elderly patients in Seville: Differences between institutionalised patients and those included in a home care program]. / Mortalidad y uso de recursos sanitarios en pacientes ancianos en la provincia de Sevilla: diferencias entre pacientes institucionalizados y en atención domiciliaria.

OBJECTIVES: Society is ageing, and as a consequence, the population with increased frailty and comorbidity is growing. The aim is to analyse the mortality and its potential factors, as well as the use of healthcare resources in elderly patients, and to study the differences between institutionalised patients and those included in a home care program. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, longitudinal and prospective cohort study was conducted in Seville during 2016. The study subjects consisted of 1314 elderly patients (1061 institutionalised and 253 at home). The variables studied included mortality and its potential factors, and the use of healthcare resources. RESULTS: No differences were found in mortality between institutionalised and home care program patients (RR=1.044; 95% CI; 0.74-1.46; P=.799). The leading cause of death was circulatory diseases followed by respiratory diseases. Among the factors explaining the mortality, it is important to highlight: age, dependency and admissions in the hospital or the emergency department. The patient's functional independence is associated with a higher survival rate. Differences were found between both groups in the number of calls to the Critical Care and Emergency Services (P=.022) or the primary care doctor (P<.001) and in the hospital admissions (P<.001), the first 2differences being higher in home care program patients, and the latter in institutionalised patients. CONCLUSIONS: There are no differences between groups either in the mortality or in the cause of death. Age, functional dependency and admissions in the hospital are factors which explain the mortality. The use of healthcare resources is higher in patients at home.

[Prevalence of prescription of anticholinergic/sedative burden drugs among older people with dementia living in nursing homes]. / Prevalencia de prescripción de fármacos con carga anticolinérgica/sedante en adultos mayores institucionalizados con demencia.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Dementia is one of the most frequent diseases in the elderly, being its prevalence of up to 64% in institutionalized people. In this population, in addition to antidementia drugs, it is common to prescribe drugs with anticholinergic/sedative burden that, due to their adverse effects, could worsen their functionality and cognitive status. The objective is to estimate the prevalence of the use of drugs with anticholinergic/ sedative burden in institutionalized older adults with dementia and to assess the associated factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study developed in older with dementia living in nursing homes. The prevalence of prescription of anticholinergic/sedative drugs was estimated according to the Drug Burden Index (DBI). A comparative analysis of the DBI score was performed between different types of dementia as well as among various factors and according to the anticholinergic/sedative risk, establishing as a cut-off point of DBI≥1 (high anticholinergic/sedative risk). RESULTS: 178 residents were included. 83.7% had some drug with anticholinergic/sedative burden according to DBI. 50% had a DBI≥1 score. Residents with vascular dementia had a mean DBI of 1.34 (SD 0.84), a significantly higher score than residents with Alzheimer's disease (0.41, 95% CI 0.04-0.78).). Likewise, a higher DBI was associated with more polypharmacy (3.36; 95% CI 2.64-4.08), more falls, hospital admissions and emergency room visits (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Polypharmacy and prescription of anticholinergic/sedative drugs is frequent among institutionalized older adults with dementia, finding an association between DBI, falls and hospital admissions or emergency department visits. Therefore, it is necessary to propose interdisciplinary pharmacotherapeutic optimization strategies.

Impactos psicossociais nas sexualidades de pessoas em contextos de institucionalização / Psychosocial impacts on the sexualities of people in contexts of institutionalization / Impactos psicosociales en las sexualidades de las personas en contextos de institucionalización

INTRODUÇÃO: As sexualidades das pessoas institucionalizadas atravessam diversos modos de opressão, pois prevalece ainda uma construção social arcaica da sexualidade como algo constrangedor ou até mesmo pervertido, baseado em uma redução do seu real significado, e ainda acompanhada de moralismos, preconceitos e estigmas. OBJETIVO: Analisar os diversos modos de sexualidades dentro de um contexto de institucionalização, a Casa de Acolhimento O Resgate, localizada na cidade de Icó-CE. MÉTODO: O estudo é fruto de um delineamento qualitativo de uma pesquisa-intervenção. O campo de pesquisa foi um equipamento de política pública voltado para o acolhimento e residência de pessoas em situação de rua na cidade de Icó-CE, cujas pessoas são na grande maioria atendidas pelo Centro de Atenção Psicossocial do município. A construção de dados foi fruto do desenvolvimento do Projeto de Extensão Aquarela que criou dispositivos grupais com aproximadamente 12 moradores e a participação dos profissionais atuantes no equipamento durante o primeiro semestre de 2022. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÕES: Percebeu-se a reprodução de preconceitos e tabus relacionados às sexualidades, juízos de valores e percepções que dificultam uma noção fluída e crítica no cotidiano. Além disso, há também a restrição do próprio equipamento, já que se sabe o quanto esse assunto é ainda tratado por um cunho proibicionista e moralista. CONCLUSÃO: Falar sobre sexualidades é um movimento de resistência sobre regimes de opressão sobre a subjetividade humana. Ao mesmo modo que possibilita criar condições de acesso e reflexão a outros direitos (família, relações afetivas, sociabilidade, etc), dos quais são renegados para pessoas que passam por equipamentos de institucionalização.

INTRODUCTION: The sexualities of institutionalized people go through various modes of oppression, since an archaic social construction of sexuality as something embarrassing or even perverted still prevails, based on a reduction of its real meaning, and is still accompanied by moralisms, prejudices and stigmas. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the various modes of sexualities within institutionalization, the Casa de Acolhimento O Resgate in the city of Icó-CE. METHOD: The study is the result of a qualitative design of a research-intervention. The research field was a public policy equipment focused on the reception and residence of homeless people in the city of Icó-CE, whose people are mostly assisted by the Psychosocial Care Center of the municipality. The construction of data resulted from the development of the Aquarela Extension Project that created group devices with approximately 12 residents and the participation of professionals working on the equipment during the first semester of 2022. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS: We noticed the reproduction of prejudices and taboos related to sexualities, value judgments and perceptions that make it difficult to have a fluid and critical notion in everyday life. In addition, there is also the restriction of the equipment itself, since it is known how much this subject is still treated in a prohibitionist and moralistic way. CONCLUSION: Talking about sexualities is a movement of resistance against regimes of oppression of human subjectivity. At the same time, it makes it possible to create conditions for access and reflection on other rights (family, affective relationships, sociability, etc.), which are denied to people who are institutionalized.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las sexualidades de las personas institucionalizadas pasan por diversos modos de opresión, ya que aún prevalece una construcción social arcaica de la sexualidad como algo vergonzoso o incluso pervertido, basada en una reducción de su significado real, y aún acompañada de moralismos, prejuicios y estigmas. OBJETIVO: Analizar los diversos modos de sexualidad en un contexto de institucionalización, la Casa de Acolhimento O Resgate localizada en la ciudad de Icó-CE. MÉTODO: El estudio es el resultado de un diseño cualitativo de una investigación-intervención. El campo de investigación fue un equipamiento de política pública centrado en la acogida y residencia de personas sin hogar en la ciudad de Icó-CE, cuyas personas son atendidas por el Centro de Atención Psicosocial del municipio. La construcción de datos fue el resultado del desarrollo del Proyecto de Extensión Aquarela que creó dispositivos grupales con aproximadamente 12 residentes y la participación de profesionales que trabajan en el equipamiento durante el primer semestre de 2022. RESULTADOS Y DISCUSIONES: Notamos la reproducción de prejuicios y tabúes relacionados a las sexualidades, juicios de valor y percepciones que dificultan una noción fluida y crítica en la vida cotidiana. Además, existe también la restricción del propio equipo, ya que es sabido cuánto este tema aún es tratado de forma prohibicionista y moralista. CONCLUSIÓN: Hablar de sexualidades es un movimiento de resistencia contra los regímenes de opresión de la subjetividad humana. Al mismo tiempo, permite crear condiciones de acceso y reflexión sobre otros derechos (familia, relaciones afectivas, sociabilidad, etc.), que son negados a las personas institucionalizadas.

Saberes psicológicos na construção de políticas de internação da infância (1900-1929) / Saberes psicológicos en la construcción de políticas de internación de la infancia (1900-1929) / Psychological knowledge in the construction of childhood internment policies (1900-1929)

RESUMO. O objetivo da pesquisa ora apresentada foi mapear discursos de intelectuais referentes à internação da infância entre 1900 e 1929, identificar e problematizar os usos de saberes científicos conectados com a psicologia produzida no período. O período de análise compreende um momento histórico de consolidação e expansão da política de tutela da infância, materializada na construção de espaços específicos de internação para esta população e promulgação de leis para o trato dessa questão. Recorremos à leitura e análise das fontes primárias: Franco Vaz, Infância abandonada; Lemos Britto, Um problema gravíssimo: colônias correcionais e tribunais de menores; As leis de menores no Brasil (páginas de crítica e doutrina); relatórios do Ministério da Justiça e Negócios Interiores entre os anos de 1900 e 1928; e fontes secundárias. Saberes psicológicos estiveram presentes na organização e sustentação científica destes discursos, servindo para defender e consolidar a internação como medida principal. Argumentos psicológicos também foram utilizados para defender a limitação do uso da internação e legitimação de medidas alternativas. O período em pauta foi importante para a produção da psicologia enquanto ciência, e o saber psicológico teve papel na configuração das medidas propostas e utilizadas pelo estado no trato da infância.

RESUMEN. El objetivo de la investigación aquí presentada fue mapear los discursos de los intelectuales referentes a la internación de la infancia entre 1900 y 1929, para identificar y problematizar los usos de los saberes científicos relacionados con la Psicología producida en el período. El período de análisis comprende un momento histórico de consolidación y expansión de la política de tutela de la infancia, materializado en la construcción de lugares de detención específicos para esta población y la promulgación de leyes para atender este tema.

Saberes psicológicos estuvieram presentes en la organización y soporte científico de estos discursos, sirviendo para defender y consolidar la internación como principal medida. También se utilizaron argumentos psicológicos para abogar por limitar el uso de la internación y legitimar medidas alternativas. El período em cuestión fue importante para la producción de la Psicología como ciência y el saber psicológico jugó un papel en la configuración de las medidas propuestas y utilizadas por el Estado en el tratamiento de la infancia.

ABSTRACT. This article aimed to map intellectual discourses regarding childhood detainment between 1900 and 1929, identifying and problematizing the uses of scientific knowledge connected with Psychology produced in the period. The analysis period comprises a historical consolidation and expansion of the childhood guardianship policy, which materialized in the construction of confinement spaces for this population and the promulgation of laws to deal with this issue. We resorted to reading and analyzing primary sources: Franco Vaz, Infância abandonada (Childhood abandoned); Lemos Britto, Um problema gravíssimo: colônias correcionais e tribunais de menores (A very serious problem: correctional colonies and juvenile court); As leis de menores no Brasil (páginas de crítica e doutrina) (Minority laws in Brazil (criticism and doctrine pages); reports from the Ministério da Justiça e Negócios Interiores - MJNI (Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs) between 1900 and 1928; and secondary sources. Psychological knowledge was present in the organization, and scientific support of these discourses served to defend and consolidate internment as the main measure. Psychological arguments were also used to defend limiting detention and legitimizing alternative measures. The period in question was important for the production of Psychology as a Science, and psychological knowledge shaped the measures proposed and used by the State in dealing with childhood.

[Programs to combat loneliness in the institutionalised elderly: A review of the scientific literature]. / Programas para combatir la soledad en las personas mayores en el ámbito institucionalizado: una revisión de la literatura científica.

Loneliness is a problem that affects a very high percentage of older people, and can lead to physical and/or mental illness. This article aims to present a systematic review of programs to combat loneliness directed towards the institutionalised elderly. Experimental and quasi-experimental articles published between 2000 and 2016 were included in the review. An analysis was carried out on the quality of the methodological evidence of each of the articles. The programs analysed included animal-assisted, contacts with families through videoconferencing, gardening and/or horticulture workshops, reminiscence therapies, humour therapies, and cognitive interventions. The results show that intervention programs are effective to reduce the feeling of loneliness. The methodological limitations of the studies are discussed and future research is recommended.

Una herramienta de intervención eficaz en el adulto mayor institucionalizado

Introducción: El proceso de envejecimiento afecta el equilibrio y la movilidad de los adultos mayores institucionalizados, los cuales pueden adquirir independencia funcional gracias al ejercicio. Objetivo: Determinar el efecto de un programa de ejercicios anticaídas y desempeño físico funcional de los adultos mayores institucionalizados. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de casos múltiples, de tipo preexperimental, prospectivo y longitudinal; además, un muestreo no probabilístico de 12 adultos mayores institucionalizados con registro de caídas durante 2015. La medición de equilibrio y desempeño físico se hizo antes y después de la aplicación del programa de ejercicios. Los datos se analizaron con el programa SPSS 22.0 y la prueba Shapiro-Wilk determinó la normalidad de las variables. Los test T de student y Wilcoxon verificaron el nivel de significancia y estadístico. D de Cohen midió la magnitud del efecto sobre la aplicación clínica. Para las características sociodemográficas y clínicas se utilizó un análisis bivariado exploratorio; y los análisis multivariados emplearon ANOVA y estadístico ETA 2. Resultados: Se determinaron cambios estadísticamente significativos en equilibrio y frecuencia de caídas con p = 0,05 y 0,008; y magnitudes del efecto grande d = 2,150 y d = 1,16, respectivamente. Las características sociodemográficas y clínicas no intervinieron en el efecto del programa sobre el equilibrio y el desempeño físico funcional. Conclusiones: La aplicación del programa anticaídas mejoró el equilibrio y disminuyó las caídas en adultos mayores institucionalizados.

Introduction: The aging process affects the balance and mobility of older adults living in an institution, who can acquire functional independence thanks to exercise. Objective: To determine the effect of a program of anti-fall exercises and functional physical performance of older adults living in an institution. Methods: A multi-case, pre-experimental, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out in a non-probabilistic sampling of 12 older adults living in an institution with a record of falls during 2015. Balance and physical performance were measured before and after the use of this program of exercises. The data was analyzed with SPSS 22.0 program and Shapiro-Wilk test determined the normality of the variables. Student's and Wilcoxon's T tests verified the level of significance and statistics. Cohen's D measured the magnitude of the effect on clinical application. For sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, an exploratory bivariate analysis was used, and the multivariate analyzes used ANOVA and ETA 2 statistic. Results: Statistically significant changes in balance and frequency of falls were determined with p = 0.05 and 0.008; and large effect sizes d = 2.150 and d = 1.16, respectively.

Análise das condições psíquicas de crianças e adolescentes submetidos à institucionalização / Analyses of the psychic conditions of children and adolescents undergoing institutionalization / Análisis de las condiciones psíquicas de niños y adolescentes em institucionalización

INTRODUÇÃO: As instituições de acolhimento visam suprir as necessidades materiais e emocionais daqueles que são colocados sob tutela do Estado. Contudo, alguns estudos evidenciam que é comum que instituições de acolhimento sejam deficitárias em relação ao número de funcionários que compõem a equipe técnica e que, em alguns casos, a criança ou adolescente permanece mais tempo nessas instituições do que o previsto pela legislação. OBJETIVO: Analisar se o período de permanência em uma instituição de acolhimento constitui um fator agravante para a manifestação de sofrimento psíquico. MÉTODO: A pesquisa foi realizada com 4 sujeitos institucionalizados (dois há mais tempo e dois há menos tempo) de uma casa de acolhimento localizada no município de Ourinhos ­ SP e com 4 profissionais da equipe técnica do local. Os dados foram coletados mediante entrevista semiestruturada, lúdica, anamnese, observação, análise documental e aplicação do teste projetivo HTP. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Observou-se que o tempo de acolhimento institucional é um fator que promove o aumento do sofrimento psíquico de pessoas institucionalizadas, pois, comparando-se o adolescente que residia há mais tempo no local e os demais, foi constatado que ele possuía mais prejuízos em seu desenvolvimento. Além disso, foi constatado que muitos dos sofrimentos das pessoas acolhidas eram resultantes de vivência anteriores à institucionalização. CONCLUSÃO: foi verificado que o processo de institucionalização caracteriza um rompimento doloroso entre o sujeito e suas figuras cuidadoras, pois, mesmo o acolhimento propiciando boas condições estruturais e materiais ao sujeito, ele não está preparado psicologicamente para um rompimento.

INTRODUCTION: Foster care institutions aim to meet the material and emotional needs of those placed under the tutelage of the State. However, some studies show that it is common for shelter institutions to be deficient in terms of the number of employees that make up the technical team and that, in some cases, the child or adolescent stays longer in these institutions than what is provided for by law. OBJECTIVE: To analyze whether the period of stay in a foster care institution constitutes an aggravating factor for the manifestation of psychic suffering. METHOD: The research was carried out with four institutionalized subjects (two for a longer and two for a shorter period) from a shelter located in the municipality of Ourinhos - SP and with four professionals from the local technical team. Data were collected through semi-structured, playful interviews, anamnesis, observation, document analysis, and application of the HTP projective test. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: It was observed that the time of institutional reception is a factor that promotes the increase of the psychic suffering of institutionalized people, because, comparing the adolescent who lived longer in the place and the others, it was found that he had further damage to their development. In addition, it was found that many of the sufferings of sheltered people were the result of experiences prior to institutionalization. CONCLUSION: it was verified that the institutionalization process characterizes a painful rupture between the subject and his caregivers because, even though the reception provides good structural and material conditions to the subject, he is not psychologically prepared for a rupture.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las instituciones de acogida tienen por objeto satisfacer las necesidades materiales y afectivas de quienes se encuentran bajo la tutela del Estado. Sin embargo, algunos estudios muestran que es común que las instituciones de acogida sean deficientes en cuanto al número de funcionarios que integran el equipo técnico y que en algunos casos el niño, niña o adolescente permanezca en estas instituciones más tiempo de lo que marca la ley. OBJETIVO: Analizar si el tiempo de permanencia en una institución de acogida constituye un factor agravante para la manifestación del sufrimiento psíquico. MÉTODO: La investigación fue realizada con 4 sujetos institucionalizados (dos por más tiempo y dos por menos tiempo) de un albergue ubicado en el municipio de Ourinhos - SP y con 4 profesionales del equipo técnico local. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevista semiestructurada, lúdica, anamnesis, observación, análisis de documentos y aplicación de la prueba proyectiva HTP. RESULTADOS Y DISCUSIÓN: Se observó que el tiempo de acogida institucional es un factor que promueve el aumento del sufrimiento psíquico de las personas institucionalizadas, pues, al comparar el adolescente que vivió más tiempo en el lugar y los demás, se verificó que tenía más perjuicios a su desarrollo. Además, se constató que muchos de los sufrimientos de las personas acogidas se debían a experiencias previas a la institucionalización. CONCLUSIÓN: se constató que el proceso de institucionalización caracteriza una ruptura dolorosa entre el sujeto y sus cuidadores, ya que, aunque la acogida proporcione buenas condiciones estructurales y materiales al sujeto, éste no está psicológicamente preparado para una ruptura.

Health and Self-Care from the Perspective of Institutionalized Adolescents / Saúde e Autocuidado na Perspectiva de Adolescentes Institucionalizadas / La Salud y el Autocuidado desde la Perspectiva de Adolescentes Institucionalizadas

Abstract The health of institutionalized adolescents is permeated by peculiarities that are influenced by the different contexts in which they develop. This study aimed to understand the conceptions about health and self-care elaborated by adolescents under protective measures of institutional shelter, in the light of the Bioecological model. This is a qualitative and exploratory study, based on the Bioecological Theory. Fourteen adolescent girls participated in the study. Based on the ecological insertion methodology, data were collected from a field diary, medical records, a questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews, subjected to thematic content analysis. A plurality of understandings about health and self-care was verified, which are more associated with the institutional experience than with family life and evidenced a lack of actions that support healthcare habits and autonomy of adolescents within the family unit.

Resumo A saúde da adolescente institucionalizada é permeada por peculiaridades que são influenciadas pelos diferentes contextos em que se desenvolve. Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender as concepções sobre saúde e autocuidado com a saúde elaboradas por adolescentes em medida protetiva de acolhimento institucional, à luz do modelo Bioecológico. Estudo qualitativo e exploratório, embasado na Teoria Bioecológica. Participaram 14 adolescentes do sexo feminino. A partir da inserção ecológica os dados foram coletados por diário de campo, prontuário, questionário e entrevistas semiestruturadas, submetidas à análise temática do conteúdo. Verificou-se uma pluralidade de compreensões sobre saúde e autocuidado, que estão mais associadas à vivência institucional do que à convivência familiar e evidenciaram carência de ações que apoiem os hábitos de cuidados com a saúde e a autonomia das adolescentes dentro do núcleo familiar.

[Effectiveness of training interventions aimed at reducing physical restraints in institutionalised older people: A systematic review]. / Efectividad de las intervenciones dirigidas a reducir las sujeciones físicas en personas mayores de 65años institucionalizadas: una revisión sistemática.

There is some controversy about the use of physical restraints in institutionalised elderly people. The aim of this review is to analyse studies that evaluated the effectiveness of training interventions targeting interdisciplinary teams aimed at preventing, reducing or eliminating the use of physical restraints in nursing homes. A systematic search was performed in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and Web of Science to find clinical trials, published in English or in Spanish, that examined training sessions for interdisciplinary teams aimed at preventing, minimising or eliminating the use of physical restrains in institutionalised people over 65 years. Ten papers fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The findings show conflicting results on the effectiveness of training sessions. Furthermore, they lack sufficient empirical evidence to be able to assert that training sessions brought about a reduction in the use of physical restraints. More studies are needed that analyse the effectiveness of these interventions to prevent or eliminate the use of physical restraints in these institutions.

Efectividad de una intervención de video-feedback grupal en respuesta sensible de cuidadores de residencias / Effectiveness of a video-feedback intervention in sensitivity response aimed at orphanage caregivers

Resumen: El presente estudio evaluó la efectividad de una intervención de video-feedback grupal en cuidadores chilenos de residencias de preescolares y lactantes que tenía como objetivo promover la respuesta sensible. La sensibilidad del adulto se ha asociado al desarrollo de apegos seguros por parte de los infantes a su cargo. Precisamente niñas y niños que crecen en un contexto residencial tienen muchas veces alterado el sistema de apego. El estudio comprendió una muestra de 14 cuidadores diurnos de la Fundación San José divididos en 4 grupos que recibieron cada uno 5 sesiones de video-feedback. Se encontraron diferencias significativas previo y posterior a la intervención en el puntaje de sensibilidad total, en la subescala de responsividad y en la de sintonía. Los resultados preliminares son prometedores considerando que es una intervención novedosa.

Abstract: The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a group video-feedback intervention aimed at Chilean caregivers of a preschool and infants orphanage that intended to enhance adult sensitivity. Adult sensitivity has been associated with the development of secure attachments in children. Nevertheless, infants that grow in an institutional setting tend to have insecure attachment patterns. The study included a sample of 14 caregivers of Fundación San José institution, which were divided in 4 groups each receiving 5 sessions of video-feedback. Differences were found between the general score of sensitivity and the subscales of responsivity and synchronicity before and after the intervention. These preliminary results are promising considering that it was the first time that a group video-feedback intervention had been applied in orphanage caregivers.

Contributions of humanitude care during the pandemic in an institution for the elderly in portugal / Aportes de la atención basada e la humanitude durante la pandemia en una institución para ancianos de portugal / Contribuições do cuidar em humanitude durante a pandemia em uma instituição para idosos em portugal

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the contributions of the Humanitude Care Methodology in the comprehensive care provided to the elderly in a long-term care institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research study. Data collection took place through individual online interviews in September and October 2020 with eight caregivers of elderly people from a long-term care institution for aged people in Portugal. Thematic categorization was adopted for analysis and treatment of the information. Results: the contributions of the Humanitude Care Methodology contemplated operationalization of the humanization of care, that is, approach, consolidation, professionalization of the relationship, and intentionality in the interaction. It also contemplated the organizational system with changes in care and opening to the outside and, finally, contributions to aged people such as acceptance of the care provided, decrease in agitation, promotion of autonomy and self-care, respect, satisfaction and promotion of verticality. Conclusion: the strategies related to the Humanitude Care Methodology facilitate the care practices during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Although organizational and operational matters of the care provided were altered, it was possible to maintain comprehensive care for aged people, due to the fact that the principles of Humanitude were already integrated in the institution's care practices.
