RESUMO
This scoping review provides an overview of previous empirical studies that used brain imaging techniques to investigate the neural correlates of emotional well-being (EWB). We compiled evidence on this topic into one accessible and usable document as a foundation for future research into the relationship between EWB and the brain. PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed. We located relevant articles by searching five electronic databases with 95 studies meeting our inclusion criteria. We explored EWB measures, brain imaging modalities, research designs, populations studied, and approaches that are currently in use to characterize and understand EWB across the literature. Of the key concepts related to EWB, the vast majority of studies investigated positive affect and life satisfaction, followed by sense of meaning, goal pursuit, and quality of life. The majority of studies used functional MRI, followed by EEG and event-related potential-based EEG to study the neural basis of EWB (predominantly experienced affect, affective perception, reward, and emotion regulation). It is notable that positive affect and life satisfaction have been studied significantly more often than the other three aspects of EWB (i.e., sense of meaning, goal pursuit, and quality of life). Our findings suggest that future studies should investigate EWB in more diverse samples, especially in children, individuals with clinical disorders, and individuals from various geographic locations. Future directions and theoretical implications are discussed, including the need for more longitudinal studies with ecologically valid measures that incorporate multi-level approaches allowing researchers to better investigate and evaluate the relationships among behavioral, environmental, and neural factors.

RESUMO
Traçar o perfil epidemiológico de todas as crianças internadas e os fatores relacionados com a internação hospitalar. Método: Estudo prospectivo observacional tipo coorte de todas as crianças internadas no Hospital Escola da UFPel, no ano de 2007. Resultados: Foram hospitalizadas 591 crianças, sendo 56,7% de meninos. A análise demonstrou que a predominância destas crianças foi da faixa etária inferior a três meses de idade (52,9%); pertencente a família de baixa renda com menos de 2 salários mínimos (65,3%); mães com baixa escolaridade, sendo que a maioria das famílias é composta de 3 a 5 pessoas. As doenças mais prevalentes foram as causas relacionadas às doenças do recém-nascido, seguidas de problemas respiratórios. Conclusão: O conhecimento do perfil das crianças internadas pode ser útil na programação institucional referente à estratégia de atendimento adequado desta população...
To draw the epidemiologic profile of all children in the hospital and the related factors to the hospital residence. Methods: A prospective observational cohort study of all resident children in the Hospital Escola da UFPel,in the year of 2007. Results: 591 children were hospitalized, being 56.7% boys. Analyses showed that the predominance of these children was at the age of under 3 months years-old (52.9%); belonged to a low income family with less than 2 minimum wages (65.3%); mothers with low scholarship and the most families are composed of 3 to 5 people. The most prevalent disorders were the causes related to the diseases of newborn babies, followed by respiratory pathogens. Conclusion: The knowledge of the resident children profile can be useful for the institution program, relative to the strategy of livestock care of this population...
