Representações sociais sobre cateterismo periférico pediátrico na perspectiva da família e enfermagem / Social representations about pediatric peripheral catheterization from the perspective of the family and nursing / Representaciones sociales sobre el cateterismo periférico pediátrico en la perspectiva de la familia y la enfermería

Introdução: a punção venosa constitui-se num procedimento de atribuição da equipe de enfermagem e destaca-se entre as tecnologias imprescindíveis para garantir a sobrevivência e a terapia das comorbidades agudas/crônicas infantis. Objetivou-se discutir as representações sociais dos profissionais de enfermagem e acompanhantes sobre a punção venosa periférica realizada em crianças hospitalizadas. Materiais e métodos: pesquisa delineada nas abordagens processual e estrutural da Teoria das Representações Sociais realizada na pediatria de um hospital geral de Minas Gerais em abril/setembro de 2018. Foram coletados dados de caracterização sociodemográficos que foram tratados por estatística descritiva; evocação livre de palavras não hierarquizada analisadas prototípicas e lexicograficamente e; entrevistas individuais em profundidade que foram submetidas a análise de conteúdo. Atendidos todos os aspectos ético-legais. Resultados: as representações sobre a punção segundo os profissionais de enfermagem estruturaram-se sobre as dificuldades em realizar o procedimento e na inserção da mãe no cuidado compartilhado e para os acompanhantes foram impactantes negativamente sobre seu psicológico. Discussões: as representações sociais da punção venosa dos profissionais de enfermagem reduziram-se às técnicas de inserção do cateter, negligenciando o cuidado centrado na família que por sua vez representaram os sentimentos ao verem a criança puncionada. Conclusões: as aproximações/distinções representacionais identificadas entre os subgrupos sobre a punção nas crianças contribuíram com reflexões apontando a necessidade de um redimensionamento sociocultural e humanizado dos cuidados de enfermagem.

Introduction: venipuncture is an attribution procedure of the nursing team and stands out among the essential technologies to ensure the survival and therapy of acute/chronic childhood comorbidities. Objectified to discuss the social representations of nursing professionals and caregivers about peripheral venipuncture performed in hospitalized children. Materials and methods: research outlined in the procedural and structural approaches of the Theory of Social Representations carried out in pediatrics at a general hospital in Minas Gerais in April/September 2018. Sociodemographic data were collected and treated by descriptive statistics; free evocation of non-hierarchical words analyzed prototypically and lexicographically and; in-depth individual interviews that underwent content analysis. All ethical and legal aspects are met. All ethical and legal aspects are met. Results: the representations about the puncture, according to the nursing professionals, were structured on the difficulties in performing the procedure and the insertion of the mother in shared care and for the companions had a negative impact on their psychological condition. Discussions: the nursing professionals' social representations of venipuncture were reduced to catheter insertion techniques, neglecting family-centered care, which in turn represented the feelings of seeing the punctured child. Conclusions: the representational approximations/distinctions identified between the subgroups about puncture in children contributed with reflections pointing to the need for a sociocultural and humanized resizing of nursing care.

Se cumplen todos los aspectos éticos y legales. Resultados: las representaciones sobre la punción, según los profesionales de enfermería, se estructuraron sobre las dificultades para realizar el procedimiento y la inserción de la madre en el cuidado compartido y para los acompañantes incidió negativamente en su condición psicológica. Discusiones: las representaciones sociales de la venopunción de los profesionales de enfermería se redujeron a técnicas de inserción de catéteres, descuidando el cuidado centrado en la familia, que a su vez representó los sentimientos de ver al niño pinchado. Conclusiones: las aproximaciones representacionales/distinciones identificadas entre los subgrupos sobre la punción en niños contribuyeron con reflexiones que apuntan a la necesidad de un redimensionamiento sociocultural y humanizado de los cuidados de enfermería.

How Do Family Court Judges Theorize about Parental Alienation? A Qualitative Exploration of the Territory.

Parental alienation (PA) and its conceptualization or understanding of the process underlying this dynamic has long been controversial, but it has also been frequently brought to courtrooms. This study provides an account of how legal professionals conceptualize "parental alienation" and how they describe the characteristics of the phenomenon. Using a qualitative design, 21 family court judges (range 33-60 years; 11 men and 10 women), working with child custody cases, participated in an individual in-depth interview. A qualitative analysis based on Grounded Theory basic procedures revealed a complex picture of alienation dynamics with five interconnected results. First, PA contexts and landscapes, which included the judges' perceptions on the PA nurturing contexts, its strategic behavior patterns and functions, portraits of PA and clues for its identification; second, considerations on PA severity; third, the influential factors, including those related to the emergence of PA; fourth, individual and relational impact of being exposed to PA; and fifth, perceived signs of change. The results also allowed for the complexification of the judges' theories, revealing six properties of the PA concept: elasticity, intentionality and camouflage, power asymmetries, multifactorial nature, and destructiveness. Directions for future research are expanded from these results and pragmatic contributions of knowledge on judges' critical thinking on PA issues and its manifestations in legal practice are discussed.

Risk and Protective Factors Associated With Health-Related Quality of Life of Parents With Mental Illness.

Purpose: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) can be reduced in parents with mental illness (mental illness) who face the dual demands of disabling symptoms and their impact on family, social, and occupational life. This study aimed at analyzing the influence of various factors on HRQoL in parents with mental illness. Method: Baseline data of the German randomized controlled multicenter project CHIMPS (children of parents with mental illness) was used for analyses. The final sample consisted of n = 208 parents with mental illness and n = 197 children and adolescents aged 8-18 years. HRQoL was assessed with the EQ-5D. Results: Parents with mental illness reported significantly lower global and specific HRQoL than the German reference population. They were least satisfied with aspects that relate to anxiety and depression followed by usual activities, pain and discomfort. Better global HRQoL was primarily associated with self-reported physical and mental health, as well as adaptive coping behavior. Associations with mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain and discomfort, anxiety and depression were analyzed and discussed. Conclusions: HRQoL in parents with mental illness is reduced. Clinical interventions should focus on the alleviation of mental health symptoms and probably somatic symptoms and promote adaptive coping skills.

Children of Parents with a Mental Illness: Predictors of Health-Related Quality of Life and Determinants of Child-Parent Agreement.

(1) Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is frequently reduced in children of parents with a mental illness (COPMI). Child self- and parent proxy-ratings vary with raters' characteristics and facets of HRQoL. This study aimed at analyzing risk and protective factors associated with HRQoL in COPMI, and at examining the magnitude, direction, and predictors of child-parent agreement. (2) Methods: Analyses were based on baseline data of the German CHIMPS (children of parents with a mental illness) project with n = 134 parents diagnosed with mental illness and n = 198 children and adolescents aged 8 to 18 years. (3) Results: Both children and parents reported significantly lower HRQoL than the reference population, particularly for the child's physical and psychological well-being. Parents' proxy-report indicated a lower HRQoL than the children's self-report. Child and parental psychopathology, social support, and the child's age significantly predicted HRQoL. Interrater agreement was satisfactory and better for observable aspects like physical well-being and school environment. The child's gender-identity and mental health significantly predicted child-parent agreement. (4) Conclusions: Parental psychopathology significantly reduces children's HRQoL. Interventions should promote resilience in children by targeting risk and protective factors. Child-parent agreement emphasizes the need to obtain both self- and proxy-reports, whenever possible.

Psicologia da Família, self e relação: revisão e narrativa da construção de um campo disciplinar / Family psychology, self and relationship: a narrative review of the construvtion of a disciplinary field / Psicología de la familia, self y relación: una revisión narrativa de la construcción de un campo disciplinario

A Psicologia da Família surgiu como disciplina na década de 1980, nos EUA. Influenciada pela Terapia de Família, adota a Abordagem Sistêmica como referencial teórico e se articula aos referenciais tradicionais da Psicologia. Defende a integração entre perspectivas teóricas que abordem o self e a relação. Realizou-se uma revisão narrativa, cujo objetivo foi o de analisar e discutir a produção nacional, considerando temas e áreas disciplinares. Foi feita uma pesquisa no SCIELO e na PEPSIC, de 2010 a 2019, com os termos Psicologia e Família. Posteriormente, foram trazidos artigos ilustrativos do Journal of Family Psychology, a fim de especificar a articulação entre self e relação. Os resultados indicaram que os estudos nacionais sobre família são realizados em várias áreas disciplinares da Psicologia e apresentam temas tradicionais e inovadores, que podem sugerir novas formas de intervenção psicológica (Au).

Family Psychology emerged as a discipline in the 1980s in the USA. Influenced by Family Therapy, it adopts the Systemic Approach as a theoretical framework and articulates with the traditional frameworks of Psychology. It advocates the integration between theoretical perspectives that approach the self and the relation. A narrative review was carried out, whose objective was to analyze and discuss the national production, considering subjects and disciplinary areas. A research was conducted at SCIELO and PEPSIC, from 2010 to 2019, with the terms Psychology and Family. Subsequently, illustrative articles were brought from the Journal of Family Psychology in order to specify the articulation between self and relationship. The results indicated that national family studies are conducted in various disciplinary areas of psychology and present traditional and innovative themes that may suggest new forms of psychological intervention (AU).

Problemas emocionales y comportamentales en los niños: asociación entre el funcionamiento familiar, la coparentalidad y la relación conyugal / Emotional and Behavioral Problems of Children: Association between Family Functioning, Coparenting and Marital Relationship / Problemas emocionais e comportamentais nas crianças: associação entre funcionamento familiar, coparentalidade e relação conjugal

Resumen El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo describir el funcionamiento familiar, la relación conyugal y la coparentalidad en familias, además de identificar las asociaciones entre estas variables con problemas emocionales y comportamentales en niños de 5 a 11 años. En total, se entrevistó a 50 madres cuyos hijos seguían tratamiento psicológico en los Servicios de Salud Pública. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el FACES IV, la Entrevista de Identificación Familiar, el SDQ, la Escala de Relación Coparental, el Inventario de Percepción Parental (PPI) y la Escala Floreal. Los resultados señalan que el funcionamiento familiar enmarañado se encuentra correlacionado con síntomas de hiperactividad y con problemas relacionales y conductuales en el niño; mientras que una buena relación madre-hijo correlaciona negativamente con síntomas de hiperactividad y dificultades emocionales; y las prácticas educativas negativas correlacionan positivamente con problemas de comportamiento, síntomas de hiperactividad, y problemas emocionales y de conducta. Finalmente, el funcionamiento familiar enmarañado tuvo mayor repercusión en los síntomas de problemas de conducta y de relación con pares. Los resultados sugieren que diferentes tipos de problemas emocionales y comportamentales del niño son influenciados e influencian diferentemente la dinámica familiar, y que el funcionamiento de la familia está asociado con la salud mental del niño.

Abstract This study aimed to describe family functioning, marital relationship and coparenting in families, and identify the associations of these variables with the emotional and behavioral problems of children aged 5 to 11 years. 50 mothers whose children received psychological treatment in Public Health Services were interviewed. The instruments used were: FACES IV, Family Identification Interview, SDQ, Co-parenting Relationship Scale, Parent Perception Inventory (PPI) and Floreal Scale. Results showed that enmeshed family functioning was correlated with hyperactivity symptoms, relationship problems, and conduct problems of the child. Good mother-child relationship was negatively associated with symptoms of hyperactivity and emotional difficulties. Negative educational practices were positively correlated with behavioral problems, symptoms of hyperactivity, emotional and behavioral problems. Entangled family functioning had greater repercussion on symptoms of behavior problems and issues in relating with peers. Results suggest that different types of child's emotional and behavioral problems are influenced and influence family dynamics differently. Findings show that family functioning is associated with the child's mental health.

The Association between Children's Behavior and Parenting of Caregivers: A Longitudinal Study in Japan.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the association between children's behavior (i.e., prosocial and problematic behavior) and the parenting style (i.e., laxness and overreactivity) of their caregivers by using longitudinal data in the Japanese population. These data were collected when the children were 7.5 and 9 years. We proposed three hypotheses: children's behavior at 7.5 years will predict their behavior at 9 years; children's behavior at 7.5 years will predict the parenting of their caregivers; and the parenting style of caregivers will affect their children's behavior at 9 years. We evaluated children's behavior and parenting behavior using a strength and difficulties questionnaire and a parenting scale. The hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of the SEM showed that children's behavior at 7.5 years predicted their behavior at 9 years. Children's problematic behavior at 7.5 years triggered overreactive parenting in their caregivers at 9 years, which increased problematic behavior and decreased prosocial behavior in the children at 9 years. These findings indicate the association between children's behavior and the parenting style of caregivers in Japan.

Care and caring in the intensive care unit: Family members' distress and perceptions about staff skills, communication, and emotional support.

PURPOSE: Family members of intensive care unit (ICU) patients are sometimes highly distressed and report lower satisfaction with communication and emotional support from staff. Within a study of emotional responses to traumatic stress, associations between family distress and satisfaction with aspects of ICU care were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 29 family members of trauma patients who stayed in an ICU, we assessed symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during ICU care. Later, family members rated staff communication, support, and skills and their overall satisfaction with ICU care. RESULTS: Ratings of staff competence and skills were significantly higher than ratings of frequency of communication, information needs being met, and support. Frequency of communication and information needs being met were strongly related to ratings of support (rs = .75-.77) and staff skills (rs = .77-.85), and aspects of satisfaction and communication showed negative relationships with symptoms of depression (rs = -.31 to -.55) and PTSD (rs = -.17 to -.43). CONCLUSIONS: Although satisfaction was fairly high, family member distress was negatively associated with several satisfaction variables. Increased understanding of the effects of traumatic stress on family members may help staff improve communication and increase satisfaction of highly distressed family members.

Transição da pós-parentalidade no contexto do sertão cearense / Transition postparental in central Ceará backcountry / Transición de la post-parentalidad en el sertón central del Ceará

O presente estudo objetiva conhecer o modo como pais naturais do sertão central cearense experienciam a saída de seus filhos de casa. Para atingir esse objetivo, adotou-se o método qualitativo, com estudo de caso coletivo. Participaram dessa investigação dois casais naturais do sertão central cearense que tinham, pelo menos, um filho que saiu de casa sem ter sido por conflito ou casamento não planejado. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com cada cônjuge, separadamente, sendo analisadas pelo modelo de análise de conteúdo. As categorias "Sentimentos de perda e aceitação quanto à saída dos filhos" e "Mudanças nas relações conjugal e parental" foram identificadas e discutidas. Considera-se que a transição da pós-parentalidade, também conhecida pela literatura como "fase ou síndrome do ninho vazio", é um fenômeno normativo no desenvolvimento familiar, no qual o contexto tem relativa importância, mas que não ocasiona necessariamente psicopatologias na família.(AU)

The present study aims at investigating how birth parents from Central Ceará backcountry feel about their childrens' leaving from home. In order to achieve that goal a qualitative collective case study method has been adopted. Study participants were couples from Central Ceará backcountry with at least one child having left home for other reasons than conflict or non-planned marriage. With each partner there have been done semi-structured and separate interviews, which afterwards have been analysed by means of content analysis model. Categories, such as "Sense of loss and feelings of acceptance towards their childrens' leaving", as well as "Changes in Marital and Parental Relations" have been identified and discussed. The postparental transition, also called "empty nest period or empty nest syndrome" within specialized literature, shows to be a normative phenomenon in the realm of family development, being then context of relative importance, but not necessarily leading to family psychopathology.(AU)

El presente estudio pretende descubrir cómo los padres naturales del sertón central del Ceará viven la experiencia de la salida de sus hijos de su casa. Se eligió el método cualitativo con estudio de caso colectivo para lograr este objetivo. Participaron en esta investigación dos parejas del sertón central del Ceará que tienen al menos un hijo que se fue de casa sin que la razón haya sido un conflicto o boda imprevista. Las entrevistas semi-estructuradas se realizaron con cada cónyuge, por separado, siendo analizados por el modelo de análisis de contenido. Las categorías "Los sentimientos de pérdida y la aceptación como la salida de los niños" y "Cambios en las relaciones conyugales y parentales" se identificaron y discutieron. Se considera que la transición de post-parentalidad, también conocida en la literatura como "fase o síndrome del nido vacío", es un fenómeno normativo en el desarrollo de la familia, en la cual el contexto tiene una importancia relativa, pero que no causa necesariamente psicopatologías en la familia.(AU)

Este estudio presenta el proceso de desarrollo del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Violencia en las Relaciones de Pareja y Familia en Estudiantes Universitarios, así como sus propiedades psicométricas y hallazgos a través de un estudio piloto. El diseño utilizado fue no experimental, transversal correlacional con una muestra por disponibilidad de 267 estudiantes. En la versión final, el instrumento consta de 41 reactivos y cuatro subescalas: Violencia de la Pareja hacia el Estudiante, Violencia del Estudiante hacia la Pareja, Violencia Observada entre los Padres y Violencia de los Padres hacia el Estudiante. La escala total y las subescalas obtuvieron índices de confiabilidad adecuados. En promedio, la muestra endosó diez experiencias de violencia en diversos contextos. Los hallazgos de este estudio aportan al conocimiento de la prevalencia de la violencia en múltiples contextos, viabilizando el diseño de intervenciones pertinentes en el manejo y prevención de la violencia en poblaciones universitarias.

This study describes the process of developing the Experiences of Violence in Couple and Family Relationships in University Students Questionnaire, its psychometric properties and the results of the pilot study. The research design used for this study was a nonexperimental, transversal co relational design. The nonrandomized sample consisted of 267 students. The final version of the questionnaire consisted of 41 items and four sub-scales which measured experiences with violence in a relationship as an Aggressor and as a Victim, Observed between the Parents and in the Parent-child relationship as a victim. The total scale and the subscales obtained adequate reliability indexes. On average, the sample reported ten experiences with violence in different contexts. The results of this study contribute data on the prevalence of violence in college students' romantic and family relationships which in turn, provide valuable information for planning prevention and early intervention efforts with this population.

Promovendo saúde nas famílias reconstituidas / Health promotion in reorganized families / Promoción de salud en familias reconstituidas

A psicologia, entre outras áreas, vem discutindo as mudanças que estão ocorrendo na família, principalmente nas ultimas décadas, tendo como referencial histórico o modelo de família tradicional, ou seja, a família constituída pelo casal parental e filhos. Denominamos novas configurações familiares a outras formas de se relacionar e de viver junto, que, necessariamente, implicam numa ampliação do termo “família”, como consequência da contemporaneidade. São padrões complexos de relacionamento que acabam gerando situações conflituosas entre os membros e um sentimento de “orfandade” nos filhos. Por meio do relato de casos clínicos, discutiremos a dinâmica das relações nessas famílias, a fim de propor medidas preventivas, visando eliminar esse sentimento de abandono parental. (AU)

Psychology, among other areas, has being discussing changes that are happening in the family, especially in the last decades, having as a historical frame of reference the traditional family model, i.e., the family that is organized by the parent couple and children. We call “new family configurations” other ways in which people relate to each other and live together that necessarily ask for an enlargement of the term “family” as a consequence of contemporaneity. These are complex relationship standards that end up generating conflict situations among their members and an orphanhood feeling in children. By means of clinical cases’ reports we will discuss the relationships dynamics in thesefamilies in order to propose preventative measures to eliminate this feeling of parental abandonment. (AU)
