Crescimento pós-traumático no câncer de mama: centralidade de evento e coping / Post-traumatic growth in breast cancer: event centrality and coping / Crecimiento post-traumático em cáncer de mama: centralidad de evento y coping

Crescimento pós-traumático (CPT) refere-se à mudança positiva em algum aspecto da experiência humana como resultado do enfrentamento de adversidades. Investigou-se a relação entre CPT, estilos de enfrentamento e centralidade de evento. Participaram do estudo 65 mulheres que concluíram os tratamentos recomendados para o câncer de mama. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa cujos instrumentos foram respondidos on-line. Identificou-se correlações altas entre CPT e centralidade de evento e moderadas entre CPT e os estilos de enfrentamento: estratégia focada no problema, busca de suporte social e práticas religiosas. A centralidade de evento e as estratégias focadas no problema mostraram-se melhores preditoras de CPT. Os resultados sugerem que quanto maior a adversidade percebida, maior a possibilidade de crescimento, sendo as estratégias de enfrentamento focadas no problema um componente importante para a sua ocorrência. Este estudo apontou a possibilidade de crescimento pessoal relacionado ao enfrentamento do CA de mama e indicou estratégias relevantes para desenvolvê-lo. (AU)

Posttraumatic growth (PTG) refers to a positive change in some aspect of the human experience as a result of coping with adversity. This study investigated the relationship between PTG, coping styles, and event centrality, using a cross-sectional research design. The sample consisted of 65 women who had completed the recommended treatments for breast cancer (BC) and answered an online survey. High correlations were identified between PTG and event centrality, and moderate correlations between PTG and the coping styles 'problem-focused strategy', 'social support seeking', and 'religious practices'. Event centrality and problem-focused coping strategies were the best predictors of PTG. The results suggest that the greater the perceived adversity, the greater the possibility of growth, and that problem-focused coping strategies are important for the occurrence of growth in the context of BC. This study pointed to the possibility of personal growth from coping with BC and indicated effective strategies to develop it. (AU)

Self-actualization and self-efficacy in the elderly in a ludic italian language learning program: a theoretical framework / O sentimento de autorrealização e de autoeficácia de idosos no aprendizado da língua italiana: quadro teórico

This article presents the conceptual framework developed for the study "Self-actualization and self-efficacy in the elderly in a ludic foreign language program." We explicate the theoretical grounds for the ludic teaching approach used in the Italian language learning program Pian, piano si va lontano. Based on the concept of ludicity, this serious leisure activity is a form of social participation that fosters self-actualization and hence feelings of self-efficacy in older learners. We conclude with some research avenues to gain a deeper understanding of the protective effects of bilingualism on cognitive functioning in the elderly and the role of a ludic teaching approach in enhancing these protective effects from a gerontagogical perspective.

Este artigo apresenta o quadro teórico desenvolvido no âmbito do estudo "O Sentimento de Autorrealização e de Autoeficácia de Idosos em um Programa de Aprendizado Lúdico da Língua Italiana". Explicamos os fundamentos teóricos para a metodologia de ensino lúdica usada no programa de aprendizagem de língua italiana Pian, piano si va lontano. Com base no conceito de ludicidade, essa atividade de lazer sério é uma forma de participação social que promove a autorrealização e, portanto, os sentimentos de autoeficácia em alunos idosos. Concluímos sugerindo alguns caminhos de pesquisa que possam obter uma compreensão mais profunda dos efeitos protetores do bilinguismo sobre o funcionamento cognitivo em idosos e o papel de uma metodologia de ensino lúdica para aumentar esses efeitos protetores de uma perspectiva gerontagógica.

Creatividad empresarial y autogobierno: un análisis discursivo / Business Creativity and Self-Government: A Discourse Analysis

Este artículo plantea una reflexión sobre las características de un perfil de trabajador creativo que, al estar ligado a la capacidad de autorrealización y autogobierno, se encuentra atravesado por significativas paradojas o tensiones discursivas. Para este fin, se han analizado una serie discursos presentes en manuales sobre desarrollo de creatividad empresarial, centrándose en el nivel textual-representacional del modelo tridimensional del análisis crítico del discurso de Norman Fairclough. La investigación indaga sobre la manera como se legitiman, desde discursos psicológico-organizacionales, formas de ser y estar en el mundo del trabajo, que suponen una experiencia de crecimiento identitario, mientras omiten fines productivos y posibles exclusiones entre las personas.
