RESUMO
Improved treatments for cystic fibrosis allow more patients to become parents. This article presents a systematic review of literature on cystic fibrosis patients' experience of parenthood. Five databases (Cairn, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, PubMed and ScienceDirect) produced 2335 documents that were screened. In total, 13 documents were retained and assessed with validated criteria. Five themes related to cystic fibrosis parenthood were discovered: population presentation, health and treatment adherence, adjustments, role of professionals and pressured temporality. Parenthood requires an important reorganisation of daily life in order to remain capable of childcare. Regardless of negative health impacts, cystic fibrosis parents have a positive outlook on parenthood.

PURPOSE: The main goal of this study was to investigate whether the Self-Regulation Model could improve sexual satisfaction for women diagnosed with breast cancer. METHODS: Adult women diagnosed with breast cancer were recruited from a hospital in Qazvin, Iran. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (nâ¯=â¯40) or a control group (nâ¯=â¯40). All participants were administered a demographic questionnaire and an Index of Sexual Satisfaction (ISS) pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1, 2, and 3 months following the intervention. The control group completed the assessments along the same time line as the intervention group. Women in the experimental group were provided three sessions of a psychological individual intervention which included psychoeducation regarding their diagnosis and personalized intervention strategies to improve their overall sexual satisfaction with sexual intercourse. Each intervention took between 60 and 90â¯min to administer. RESULTS: The experimental and control group participants were well balanced in terms of demographic characteristics and sexual satisfaction scores before the intervention. The intervention group showed a positive increasing trend in the sexual satisfaction scores over time while the control group participants had a negative trend (pâ¯<â¯0.05). There were also statistical differences in the sexual satisfaction scores at each follow-up month (pâ¯<â¯0.05) adjusted for the baseline score and relevant demographical variables, showing longer term effects with a significant increase in sexual satisfaction over time. CONCLUSION: Providing a psychoeducational based intervention provided an increase of sexual satisfaction during intercourse for women diagnosed with breast cancer. The psychoeducation based intervention provided an opportunity for participants to dispel common myths regarding their disease and obtain new strategies and skills to improve their sexual satisfaction from intercourse with their partners.

Moral domain theory posits that moral knowledge is organized in separate domains related to moral and socio-conventional rules, with the latter being reliant on a statement made by authority. Domains may be contingent on different neuropsychological processing that may vary with age. Behavioral indices were measured in three age groups, to detect differences in the neuropsychological processing allegedly involved in the evaluation of rule transgressions in different domains. Acceptance of the transgressions was also investigated. Twenty-four children, 32 early adolescents, and 31 adolescents judged acceptability of rule transgressions when an authority figure allowed the transgression. Across age, moral-rule transgressions were less accepted and took significantly longer to be evaluated. In evaluating moral rule scenarios, children had the longest reaction times. Older adolescents took the least amount of time evaluating socio-conventional rule scenarios. Results suggest differences in the neuropsychological processing underlying decision making for moral and socio-conventional domains and that rule comprehension and distinction amongst domains increase by age.
