Stigmatizing attitudes towards mental illness among university students: a comparative study with the general population.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to compare stigmatizing attitudes, reported and intended behavior, and knowledge of mental illness between university students and the general population. METHODS: An online cross-sectional observational study was conducted. The survey included sociodemographic data and validated stigma questionnaires (the Attribution Questionnaire [AQ-27], the Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale [RIBS], and the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule [MAKS]). Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and multiple regression modeling were employed to analyze the data. RESULTS: A total of 506 participants completed the survey, including 226 (44.7%) university students (61.1% women), and 280 (55.3%) individuals from the general population (69.3% women). For both groups, women and individuals who had lived with someone with mental health problems exhibited more positive attitudes (p < 0.05). University students reported greater knowledge of mental illness (p < 0.05) than the general population. After controlling for covariates, university students only scored higher than the general population in the blame factor of the AQ-27 (p < 0.05). Additionally, older participants from both groups exhibited higher levels of stigmatizing attitudes compared to those of a younger age. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that university students exhibit similar levels of stigmatizing attitudes to the general population. Among both groups, female sex, older age, previous contact with individuals with mental illness, and greater knowledge of mental health are all associated with less stigma toward people with mental illness. Tailored interventions grounded in contact with mental illness have the potential to help reduce stigmatizing attitudes within both groups.

[Male vulnerabilities and stereotypes in the social representations of prostate cancer]. / Vulnerabilidades e estereótipos masculinos nas representações sociais das causas do adoecimento por câncer de próstata.

In society, cancer is commonly associated with an incurable and disabling disease that causes damage beyond the biological scope, impacting the psychological and sociocultural dimensions of cancer patients. From a cultural point of view, men construct narratives about prostate cancer based on their experiences and social contexts, expressing moral, ethical, and sociopolitical elements attributed to the cause of this type of cancer. We sought to understand the causes of prostate cancer as represented by men living with this type of cancer and its repercussions on self-care. A descriptive, qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations was conducted with 31 men diagnosed with prostate cancer treated at a High Complexity Oncology Unit. Data were collected from April to June 2022 by in-depth, individual, and semi-structured interviews. The corpus was inserted into the ALCESTE software. Alcohol intake, smoking, sexual promiscuity, and not taking care of oneself were the main behaviors understood as causes of cancer, which generates self-responsibility and guilt for the illness. Social representations of these causes, translated into behaviors not aligned with what social morality dictates as right, have repercussions on the moralizing notion of cancer as punishment, in which the disease expresses the patient's character, anchored in the Judeo-Christian religious discourse, which reduces the sociopolitical burden of male vulnerabilities and reinforces stereotypes from patriarchal society.

No universo consensual de pensamento, o câncer é associado à doença incurável e incapacitante, o que acarreta prejuízos que extrapolam o âmbito biológico e atinge dimensões psicoculturais e sociais de quem convive com a doença. Sob a ótica cultural, os homens constroem narrativas sobre o câncer de próstata com base nas suas experiências e contextos sociais, expressando elementos morais, éticos e sociopolíticos atribuídos à causa do adoecimento por esse tipo de câncer. O objetivo do estudo foi compreender as causas do adoecimento de câncer de próstata nas representações de homens acometidos desse tipo de câncer e suas repercussões no autocuidado. Realizou-se estudo descritivo, qualitativo, fundamentado na Teoria das Representações Sociais. Participaram 31 homens com diagnóstico de câncer de próstata matriculados em uma Unidade de Alta Complexidade em Oncologia. Os dados foram produzidos de abril a junho de 2022 por entrevista em profundidade, individual e semiestruturada. O corpus foi submetido ao software ALCESTE. A ingestão de bebida alcoólica, o tabagismo, a promiscuidade sexual e a ausência de autocuidado foram os principais comportamentos entendidos como causas do câncer, o que gera autorresponsabilização e culpa pelo adoecimento. Representações sociais das causas, traduzidas em comportamentos não alinhados ao que a moral social dita como certos, repercutem na noção moralizadora do câncer como um castigo, em que a doença expressa o caráter do paciente, ancorando-se no discurso religioso judaico-cristão, o que diminui a carga sociopolítica das vulnerabilidades masculinas e reforça estereótipos da sociedade patriarcal.

En el universo de pensamiento consensuado, el cáncer se asocia a una enfermedad incurable e incapacitante, que provoca pérdidas que van más allá del ámbito biológico y afectan las dimensiones psicoculturales y sociales de quienes viven con la enfermedad. Desde una perspectiva cultural, los hombres construyen narrativas sobre el cáncer de próstata con base en sus experiencias y contextos sociales, expresando elementos morales, éticos y sociopolíticos atribuidos a la enfermedad por este tipo de cáncer. El objetivo fue comprender las causas de la enfermedad de cáncer de próstata en las representaciones de los hombres afectados por ese tipo de cáncer y sus repercusiones en el autocuidado. Estudio descriptivo, cualitativo, basado en la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales. Participaron 31 hombres diagnosticados con cáncer de próstata inscritos en una Unidad de Oncología de Alta Complejidad. Los datos se produjeron de abril a junio del 2022 mediante entrevistas en profundidad, individuales y semiestructuradas. El corpus fue sometido al software ALCESTE. Consumir alcohol, fumar, la promiscuidad sexual y no cuidarse fueron las principales conductas entendidas como causantes del cáncer, lo que genera autorresponsabilidad y culpa por la enfermedad. Las representaciones sociales de las causas, traducidas en comportamientos no alineados con lo que la moral social dicta como correctos, repercuten en la noción moralizante del cáncer como castigo, en que la enfermedad expresa el carácter del paciente, anclándose en el discurso religioso judeocristiano, lo que disminuye la carga sociopolítica de las vulnerabilidades masculinas y refuerza los estereotipos de la sociedad patriarcal.

Differences in body dissatisfaction between individuals with and without stigma toward obesity: A study of preadolescents and adolescents.

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have focused on understanding the biopsychosocial implications of obesity stigma and have made proposals to minimize its negative consequences, as well as recommendations to eliminate or reduce this stigma; however, knowing which individuals stigmatize obesity and why will allow us to have a broader picture of stigmatization and thus help in planning interventions with greater impact. OBJECTIVE: The aims were to describe the stigmatization toward obesity in preadolescents and adolescents and to determine whether there are differences in body dissatisfaction, abnormal eating behaviors and self-esteem among those with and without stigma toward obesity. METHODS: A total of 307 preadolescents and 349 adolescents answered a set of questionnaires that evaluated abnormal eating behaviors, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem and stigma. RESULTS: Fifty-nine percent of the participants stigmatized individuals with obesity, with preadolescents having the greatest stigma levels. Differences were observed only in body dissatisfaction, where the group of preadolescents who stigmatized individuals with obesity and the group of adolescents who did not stigmatize individuals with obesity reported higher levels of body dissatisfaction. CONCLUSION: Obesity is stigmatized at early ages, regardless of sex; however, preadolescents with stigma toward obesity and adolescents without stigma toward obesity have greater body dissatisfaction, indicating that body dissatisfaction plays a crucial role in the stigmatization of obesity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, cross-sectional analytical study.

Cleft Lip and/or Palate: Children's Experiences of Stigma in Colombia.

OBJECTIVE: Given prior craniofacial research reporting higher risk for negative social interactions, this study aimed to explore experiences of stigma described by children with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). DESIGN: Qualitative interviews were conducted with children in three sessions (totaling 90-180 min) using creative activities in their homes and/or and walking interviews in their neighborhood. Interview transcriptions were interpreted primarily with thematic analysis following theoretical frameworks of the stigmatization process and self-stigma concept. SETTING: Participants were recruited through Operation Smile Colombia. Interviews took place at children's homes and neighborhoods within three Colombian regions (Boyacá, Bogotá and Cundinamarca). PARTICIPANTS: Children (N = 12) with CL/P aged between 6-12 years were interviewed. RESULTS: Themes fit within the stigmatization process, starting with labeling and stereotyping, such as a range of mockery, and group separation by peers highlighting their not belonging and being socially 'other'. Status loss themes included negative appraisals of cleft-related differences and being perceived as 'ill' and 'imperfect'. Social exclusion themes reflected limited social interactions and loneliness. Self-stigma themes included shame about speaking with peers and anticipation of negative social interactions. CONCLUSIONS: The study results suggest that the process of stigmatization and self-stigma adversely affect social interactions for children with a cleft in multiple ways. Healthcare practitioners and policy makers can help address the potential consequences of stigma by implementing interventions at micro, meso and macro levels.

Analysis of care and gender stereotypes in nursing scientific research: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVE: To map evidence about care and gender stereotypes in nursing scientific research. METHOD: A scoping review developed under the JBI framework with analysis of gender perspective in care approaches. The searches were carried out on January 31, 2023 in SciELO, Scopus, CINAHL, PubMed, BDENF. RESULTS: Of the 3,743 studies located, 25 were included. Evidence was grouped into categories: essentially female care (n = 9; 36%); calling and service of love (n = 3; 12%); erasure of gender inequalities (n = 2; 8%); "inadequate and harmful" care (n = 5; 20%); neutralization of gender and bodies (n = 3; 12%); and reporting oppression in care work (n = 3; 12%). CONCLUSION: Most scientific research on care reproduces gender stereotypes that reinforce the oppression of women in nursing. In contrast, resistance denounces naturalization of care as "inadequate and harmful", for perpetuating gender oppression in care work.

Stigma toward people with mental disorders in mental healthcare in Chile.

OBJECTIVE: This research aimed to determine the stigma toward people with mental illness among mental health personnel and identify individual, professional, and contextual predictors. METHODS: A descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design was used. The sample consisted of 218 mental health personnel working in Outpatient Psychiatric Units belonging to hospitals and Community Mental Health Centers in Chile. Stigma was evaluated using a scale of humanized treatment, a scale of social distance, and a scale of attitudes in health personnel. In addition, sociodemographic and professional information was collected from mental health personnel and contextual information, particularly the type of outpatient mental health center and the technical-administrative unit that groups all the health centers in a territory. RESULTS: It was found that mental health personnel, in general terms, present low levels of stigma expressed in behaviors of comfort and support toward users, a desire for closeness and social interaction, and reduced stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes of infantilization toward individuals with MHPs. However, intimacy and trust were lower than expected.Only educational levels and health centers were related to stigma. CONCLUSIONS: The low levels of stigma may be due to the evolution of this phenomenon and the country's mental health policies.

The myth of the stigma of fatty liver: What does the evidence show?

Recent efforts to reclassify non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are intended to divert attention to the metabolic basis of the disease rather than to alcohol consumption. This reclassification recognizes the role of obesity, sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary habits in the development of the disease, leading to a better understanding of its etiology. Nevertheless, the transition has posed its own challenges, particularly with regard to communication between patient and healthcare professional. Many healthcare professionals report difficulty in explaining the nuanced concepts, especially the term "steatosis". In addition, the change in terminology has not yet removed the stigma, with ongoing debates about the appropriateness of the terms "fatty" and "steatotic". Surveys suggest that while "obesity" may be perceived as more stigmatizing, the medical term "steatotic liver disease" is not considered as stigmatizing, indicating a disconnect in perceptions between healthcare professionals and patients.

Stigmatisation and resistance processes: Reflections on the field of HIV research and an agenda for contemporary stigma studies.

Stigmatisation processes constitute key barriers to effectively addressing the HIV pandemic. In this article, we provide a critical overview of this field's current state of the art, highlighting some key emerging issues that merit greater research attention in the future to ensure that contemporary research on stigmatisation and resistance processes continues to engage with changing social and political circumstances. We look at how resistance to stigma has developed in the context of HIV and highlight some of the most important programmatic strategies that have emerged over the history of the pandemic. We present the key concepts of 'moral panics' and 'necropolitics', and we articulate them in relation to new global phenomena that deepen the processes of stigmatisation. Moreover, we identify an agenda for investigation which merits greater attention in future research, intervention, and advocacy: 1) changing political environments, neoliberalism, growing political polarisation, and the rise of political extremism; 2) the rise of the information age, technological change, and social media; and 3) rebuilding civil society and governmental responses to stigma.

A cross-cultural study of children's graphic representations of men- and women-dominated occupations.

Occupational gender stereotypes develop from early age and contribute to occupational gender imbalance. Previous research used questionnaires or interviews to investigate children's explicit stereotypes and where drawings have been used, mostly men-dominated occupations have been considered. This study used drawings and interviews to assess implicit stereotypes of both men and women-dominated occupations and whether children's sex, age and cultural background predicted these stereotypes. Two hundred and forty-three 6-to-7-year-olds and 10-to-11-year-olds in Britain and Argentina-encompassing both Global South and Global North perspectives- drew five human figures: (i) person of their choice, (ii) dancer, (iii) nanny (iv) firefighter and (v) pilot. In interviews, children confirmed and justified their gender choices for each drawing. Results indicate gender stereotypes in children from both countries, especially towards women-dominated occupations. Girls exhibited more rigid gender views than boys. These findings suggest widespread and culturally consistent occupational gender stereotypes, potentially limiting children's future job choices.

Experiences of social stigma of people living with Hansen's disease in Brazil: silencing, secrets and exclusion.

BACKGROUND: Hansen's disease is a chronic, infectious and transmissible disease that is considered a public health problem in Brazil. Hansen's disease is marked by stigma and prejudice, because it carries with it a strong negative social image, reinforced by policies of social isolation in the community. METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted in Ribeirão Preto, an inland city of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Eleven patients under treatment for the disease were interviewed. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed in full, then were analyzed through the stages of transcription, transposition and reconstitution, as informed by concepts proposed by Goffman. RESULTS: The results showed that the marks of stigma are still present in the twenty-first century and were presented in two axes: 'Stigma and work for the person affected by Hansen's disease' and 'The experience of stigma in the family'. The participants refer to fears of losing their jobs and of being ridiculed, which stops them talking about the disease. Regarding their families, the participants reported episodes of discrimination, the creation of family secrets and fear of relatives' reactions. CONCLUSIONS: All these aspects interfere in the follow-up and treatment of patients and need to be considered and welcomed by health professionals. It is recommended that these aspects are addressed in the initial training and continuing education of health professionals. CONTEXTE: La maladie de Hansen est une maladie chronique, infectieuse et transmissible, considérée comme un problème de santé publique au Brésil. La maladie de Hansen est marquée par la stigmatisation et les préjugés, car elle véhicule une image sociale fortement négative, renforcée par des politiques d'isolement social au sein de la communauté. MÉTHODES: Étude qualitative menée à Ribeirão Preto, une ville intérieure de l'État de São Paulo, au Brésil. Onze patients traités pour la maladie ont été interrogés. Les entretiens ont été enregistrés et transcrits intégralement, et ont été analysés en suivant les étapes de transcription, de transposition et de reconstitution, selon les concepts proposés par Goffman. RÉSULTATS: Les résultats montrent que les marques de la stigmatisation sont toujours présentes au 21ème siècle et ont été présentées selon deux axes : 'La stigmatisation et le travail pour la personne affectée par la maladie de Hansen' et 'L'expérience de la stigmatisation dans la famille'. Les participants évoquent la peur de perdre leur emploi, la peur d'être ridiculisés, ce qui les pousse à ne pas parler de la maladie. En ce qui concerne les familles, les participants ont rapporté des épisodes de discrimination, la création de secrets de famille et la peur des réactions des proches. CONCLUSIONS: Tous ces aspects interfèrent dans le suivi et le traitement des patients et doivent être pris en compte et accueillis par les professionnels de la santé. Il est recommandé que ces aspects soient abordés dans la formation initiale et la formation continue des professionnels de la santé. ANTECEDENTES: La enfermedad de Hansen es una enfermedad crónica, infecciosa y transmisible, considerada un problema de salud pública en Brasil. La enfermedad de Hansen está marcada por el estigma y el prejuicio, ya que conlleva una fuerte imagen social negativa, reforzada por políticas de aislamiento social en la comunidad. MÉTODOS: Estudio cualitativo realizado en Ribeirão Preto, una ciudad del interior del estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Se entrevistaron a once pacientes en tratamiento para la enfermedad. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas en audio, transcritas en su totalidad y analizadas a través de etapas de transcripción, transposición y reconstitución, según los conceptos propuestos por Goffman. RESULTADOS: Los resultados muestran que las marcas del estigma siguen presentes en el siglo XXI y se presentaron en dos ejes: 'Estigma y trabajo para la persona afectada por la enfermedad de Hansen' y 'La experiencia del estigma en la familia'. Los participantes mencionan el miedo a perder sus trabajos, el temor a ser ridiculizados, lo que les impide comentar sobre la enfermedad. En cuanto a las familias, los participantes reportaron episodios de discriminación, la creación de secretos familiares y el miedo a las reacciones de los familiares. CONCLUSIONES: Todos estos aspectos interfieren en el seguimiento y tratamiento de los pacientes y deben ser considerados y acogidos por los profesionales sanitarios. Se recomienda abordar estos aspectos en la formación inicial y la educación continua de los profesionales sanitarios.

Stigmatizing deferrals disproportionally reduce donor return rates: Evidence from Brazil.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prior research has shown that temporary deferrals negatively influence donor return rates, but it remains unknown the extent to which these effects vary across reasons for deferral. We investigate whether deferrals differ in their degree of perceived stigmatization and, if so, how being deferred for stigmatizing (vs. non-stigmatizing) reasons affects subsequent donation behaviour. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined whether reasons for deferral vary on their perceived level of stigmatization through an online survey (n = 400). Furthermore, we used a dataset encompassing 25 years of donation records from the state-run blood collection agency (BCA) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to investigate how stigmatizing (vs. non-stigmatizing) reasons for deferral affected return rates of 82,648 donors over a 60-month follow-up period. RESULTS: Being deferred for sex- and drug-related reasons was perceived as much more stigmatizing than other reasons for deferral (odds ratio = 3.14, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.33-4.25). Controlling for multiple observables, prospective donors were less likely to return to the BCA when deferred for stigmatizing (vs. non-stigmatizing) reasons (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.83-0.93). CONCLUSION: Donors perceive deferrals motivated by sex- and drug-related reasons as particularly stigmatizing, which is negatively associated with donor return rates. BCAs may want to pay special attention when communicating stigmatizing reasons for deferral to prospective donors.

Is there an association between gender stereotypes and sexual risk attitudes and behaviors? A population-based study among Peruvian adolescents.

BACKGROUND: Adolescents, particularly those aged 14 to 15 y, often begin exploring their sexuality, during which time they are more vulnerable to traditional influences and ideologies imposed by society. This study aimed to identify the association between more traditional attitudes toward women and sexual risk attitudes and behaviors in Peruvian adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study with data from the fifth round of the Young Lives study with 1860 adolescents aged 14 and 15 y. Population characteristics were described by relative frequencies and using chi-squared test with p-value. The 12 items of the Attitudes toward Women Scale for Adolescents instrument were analyzed by relative frequencies and mean with standard deviation. For further analysis, the values of the global scores of all participants were divided into two categories, using the median as the cutoff point, where the group with higher scores indicated that these adolescents had more traditional attitudes (or more gender stereotypes). More traditional attitudes were associated with sexual risk attitudes and behaviors, with crude prevalence ratio (PR) and then adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) with 95% CI. The Universidad Privada de Tacna's ethics committee approved the research protocol. RESULTS: Adolescents with more traditional attitudes were more likely to have sexual risk attitudes compared to those with less traditional attitudes. In addition, adolescents with more traditional attitudes were 2.6 times more likely to have at least one sexual intercourse while drunk as compared to the reference group (95% CI: 1.43-4.74; p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: The expression of more traditional attitudes toward women was associated with sexual risk attitudes. However, there was no association with most of the sexual risk behaviors studied, except for the higher probability of having at least one sexual intercourse while drunk.

Compreendendo o termo gordofobia médica a partir da perspectiva de pessoas gordas / Understanding the term medical fatphobia from the perspective of fat people

Resumo O ativismo gordo tem como objetivo unir e mobilizar pessoas gordas, a fim de romper com a inviabilização de seus corpos e denunciar a gordofobia. Há algum tempo, o ativismo vem impulsionando a expressão "gordofobia médica" para denunciar a opressão vivenciada dentro dos serviços de saúde. Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender o termo, a partir da percepção de pessoas gordas. É uma pesquisa qualitativa, com dados coletados por meio de um questionário virtual direcionado a pessoas gordas ou ex-gordas, que alcançou 515 respondentes de todas as regiões do Brasil. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a análise temática, com a criação de seis categorias. Entre os principais resultados, pode-se compreender que a gordofobia médica envolve: despreparo, desrespeito e autoritarismo; reprodução de estereótipos, repulsa e preconceito, desumanização da pessoa gorda, diagnóstico superficial e generalizante, desprezo da queixa, foco no peso e negligência, e precarização do acesso e dos cuidados em saúde. Conclui-se que o estudo auxilia na compreensão do termo gordofobia médica, o que facilita o seu reconhecimento e prevenção na área da saúde.

Abstract Fat activism aims to unite and mobilize fat people to break with the impracticability of these bodies and denounce fatphobia. For some time now, activism has been pushing the expression "medical fatphobia" to denounce the oppression experienced by fat people within health services. This article aims to understand the term, from the perspective of fat people. This is a qualitative research, with data were collected via a virtual questionnaire aimed at fat or formerly fat people, which reached 515 respondents from all regions of Brazil. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, with the creation of six categories. Among the main results, it can be understood that medical fatphobia involves: unpreparedness, disrespect and authoritarianism; reproduction of stereotypes, disgust and prejudice; dehumanization of the fat person; superficial and generalizing diagnosis; dismissal of the complaint, focus on weight and negligence; and precarious access to the health care. In conclusion, the work helps in understanding the term medical fatphobia, which facilitates its recognition and prevention in the health field.

Avaliação e ensino de emoções com crianças e jovens adultos com autismo ou síndrome de down mediado pela família / Assessment and teaching of emotions with children and young adults with autism or down syndrome mediated by family / Evaluación y enseñanza de las emociones con niños y jóvenes con autismo o síndrome de down mediadas por la familia

Este estudo avaliou o reconhecimento (imitação, identidade e identificação) e a nomeação de estímulos emocionais de valência negativa (raiva e tristeza) e positiva (alegria e surpresa) em conjunto com a influência dos tipos de estímulos utilizados (social-feminino, social-masculino, familiar e emoji) em crianças e jovens adultos com autismo ou síndrome de Down, por meio de tarefas aplicadas pela família e mediadas por recursos tecnológicos durante a pandemia de covid-19. Participaram cinco crianças e dois jovens adultos com autismo e uma criança e dois jovens adultos com síndrome de Down. Foram implementadas tarefas de identidade, reconhecimento, nomeação e imitação, com estímulos faciais de função avaliativa (sem consequência diferencial) e de ensino (com consequência diferencial, uso de dicas e critério de aprendizagem), visando a emergência da nomeação emocional por meio do ensino das tarefas de reconhecimento. Os resultados da linha de base identificaram que, para os participantes que apresentaram menor tempo de resposta para o mesmo gênero, a diferença de tempo de resposta foi em média 57,28% menor. Em relação à valência emocional, 50% dos participantes apresentaram diferenças nos acertos, a depender da valência positiva e negativa, sendo que 66,66% apresentaram diferenças para o tempo de resposta a depender da valência emocional. Após o procedimento de ensino, os participantes mostraram maior número de acertos nas tarefas, independentemente do gênero de estímulo e valência emocional, criando ocasião para generalização da aprendizagem de reconhecimento e nomeação de emoções, além de consolidar a viabilidade de estratégias de ensino mediadas por recursos tecnológicos e aplicadas por familiares.(AU)

This study evaluated the recognition (imitation, identity, and identification) and naming of negative (anger and sadness) and positive (joy and surprise) emotional stimuli alongside the influence of the types of stimuli (social-female, social-male, family, and emoji) in children and young adults with autism and Down syndrome, via tasks applied by the family and mediated by technological resources, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Five children and two young adults with autism and one child and two young adults with Down syndrome participated. Identity, recognition, naming, and imitation tasks were planned and implemented using facial stimuli with evaluative (without differential consequence) and teaching (with differential consequence, tips, and learning criteria) functions, aiming at the emergence of emotional naming from the recognition teaching tasks. The baseline results showed that, for participants who had a shorter response time for the same gender, the response time difference was on average 57.28% lower. Regarding the emotional valence, 50% of the participants showed differences in the correct answers, depending on the positive and negative valence, and 66.66% showed differences in the response time depending on the emotional valence. After the teaching procedure, the participants showed a greater number of correct answers in the tasks, regardless of the stimulus type and emotional valence, creating an opportunity for generalizing learning of emotion recognition and naming, in addition to consolidating the feasibility of teaching strategies mediated by technological resources and applied by family members.(AU)

Este estudio evaluó el reconocimiento (imitación, identidad e identificación) y la denominación de estímulos emocionales negativos (enfado y tristeza) y positivos (alegría y sorpresa) y la influencia de los tipos de estímulos utilizados (social-femenino, social-masculino, familiar y emoji ) de niños y jóvenes con autismo o síndrome de Down, a través de tareas aplicadas por la familia, mediadas por recursos tecnológicos durante la pandemia de la covid-19. Participaron cinco niños y dos adultos jóvenes con autismo, y un niño y dos adultos jóvenes con síndrome de Down. Se planificaron e implementaron tareas de identidad, reconocimiento, nombramiento e imitación con estímulos faciales con función evaluativa (sin consecuencia diferencial) y enseñanza (con consecuencia diferencial, uso de ayudas y criterios de aprendizaje), buscando la emergencia del nombramiento emocional después de la enseñanza de tareas de reconocimiento. Los resultados de la línea de base identificaron que para los participantes que tenían un tiempo de respuesta más corto para el mismo género, la diferencia en el tiempo de respuesta fue un 57,28% menor. En cuanto a la valencia emocional, el 50% de los participantes mostraron diferencias en las respuestas correctas, en función de la valencia positiva y negativa, y el 66,66% tuvieron diferencias en el tiempo de respuesta, en función de la valencia emocional. Después del procedimiento de enseñanza, los participantes mostraron mayor número de aciertos en las tareas evaluadas, independientemente del tipo de estímulo o valencia emocional, lo que genera una oportunidad para la generalización del aprendizaje de reconocimiento y denominación de emociones, además de consolidar la viabilidad de estrategias de enseñanza mediadas por recursos tecnológicos y aplicadas por la familia.(AU)

"Cê anda igual bandido!": o que dizem os jovens sobre a construção midiática do criminoso? / "You look like a thug!": how do young people view the media's construction of the criminal? / « "T'as l'air d'un voyou! ¼: comment les jeunes perçoivent-ils la construction médiatique du criminel? / "¡Pareces un bandido!': ¿qué dicen los jóvenes sobre la construcción del criminal en los medios de comunicación?

Resumo A partir do cenário brasileiro, marcado por diferentes expressões da violência, são construídas práticas midiáticas que representam a juventude pauperizada de forma a criminalizar tal grupo. Este artigo apresenta uma discussão a respeito dos sentidos produzidos por jovens de 14 a 16 anos sobre as representações midiáticas expressas por setores da mídia hegemônica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa participante, delineada a partir da perspectiva do sociólogo Orlando Fals-Borda e da ideia de coautoria de Mikhail Bakhtin. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma cidade do estado de Minas Gerais, e foram construídos sete grupos de discussão, em que reportagens nas quais jovens são associados a episódios tidos como criminosos foram discutidas. Por meio dos diálogos construídos, foi possível identificar que o conteúdo midiático pode resultar em uma série de violências nas vidas desses jovens, que resistem através da busca por estratégias criativas, envolvendo a arte e mídias alternativas.

Abstract From a scenario marked by different expressions of violence emerge media practices set on criminalizing impoverished youth. This article examines the meanings produced by youth aged 14 to 16 years about the media representations broadcasted by hegemonic sectors. A participative research designed based on sociologist Orlando Fals-Borda's work and Mikhail Bakhtin's co-authorship was conducted with youth from the state of Minas Gerais. Seven discussion groups were created to debate the association between youth and criminal activity on the news. Analysis of the dialogues showed that media content can impart a series of violence in their lives. However, they resist through creative strategies involving art and alternative media.

Résumé A partir d'un scénario marqué par différentes expressions de la violence ressortent des pratiques médiatiques visant à criminaliser la jeunesse appauvrie. Cet article discute les significations produits par des jeunes de 14 à 16 ans à propos des représentations médiatiques formulées par les secteurs hégémoniques. Une recherche intervenante, esquissée d'après la perspective du sociologue Orlando Fals-Borda et du concept de cocréation de Mikhail Bakhtin, a été réalisée dans une ville de l'État du Minas Gerais. Sept groupes de discussion ont été créé pour débattre des reportages où des jeunes sont associés à des épisodes criminels. L'analyse des dialogues a montré que le contenu des médias peut mener à une série de violences dans leur vie. Pourtant, ils résistent grâce à des stratégies créatives faisant appel à l'art et aux médias alternatifs.

Resumen A partir del escenario brasileño, marcado por diferentes expresiones de violencia, se construyen prácticas mediáticas, para criminalizar a la juventude más pobre. Este artículo discute los sentidos producidos por jóvenes de 14 a 16 años respecto a las representaciones mediáticas, expressadas por sectores de los medios hegemónicos. Se trata de una investigação participante, diseñada a partir de la perspectiva del sociólogo Orlando Fals-Borda y la idea de coautoría de Mikhail Bakhtin. La investigación fue realizada en una ciudad del estado de Minas Gerais, mediante siete grupos de discusión, donde se analizaron las asociaciones que hacen de los jóvenes con episodios delictivos. A partir de los diálogos establecidos, se encontró que lo proyectado por los medios de comuncación puede resultar de considerables violencias en la vida de aquellos jóvenes, quienes se resisten a través de la búsqueda de estrategias creativas como el arte y medios alternativos.

Práticas do psicólogo escolar em um atendimento educacional a estudantes superdotados / School psychologist practices in an educational program for gifted students / Prácticas del psicólogo escolar en un programa educativo para alumnos superdotados

Este estudo objetivou investigar práticas dos psicólogos escolares em atendimento educacional a estudantes superdotados, bem como os desafios enfrentados por estes profissionais. O cenário da pesquisa foi um atendimento educacional especializado para estudantes com altas habilidades/superdotação oferecido por uma secretaria de estado de Educação da região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Participaram cinco psicólogas(os) escolares atuantes no atendimento, e utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada como instrumento. Para a análise dos dados, optou-se pela análise de conteúdo qualitativa. Os resultados revelaram que as(os) psicólogas(os) escolares realizam práticas envolvendo alunos, familiares e professoras(es), com cinco categorias se destacando: avaliação psicológica do aluno; práticas de acolhimento, suporte e orientação; intervenções breves; planejamento, desenvolvimento e acompanhamento das atividades; e divulgação do atendimento ao superdotado. Contudo, as(os) psicólogas(os) enfrentam desafios em sua atuação, como o impacto de mitos e crenças populares equivocadas, trocas de governo, inconsistência na legislação sobre a educação do superdotado, insuficiência de investimentos no atendimento e influência de outros fatores contextuais. Conclui-se que as(os) psicólogas(os) escolares desempenham funções cruciais no atendimento ao superdotado, sobretudo no que tange ao mapeamento das necessidades do aluno e ao suporte aos envolvidos em sua educação, mas diversos fatores limitam sua prática. Logo, propõem-se direções para possibilitar uma atuação mais ampla e efetiva da(o) psicóloga(o).(AU)

This study aimed to investigate school psychologists' practices in an educational program for gifted students, as well as the challenges they face. The study scenario was a specialized educational program for students with high abilities/giftedness offered by a state secretary of Education located in the Midwest region of Brazil. Five school psychologists working in the program participated, and a semi-structured interview was used as instrument. Qualitative content analysis was performed to analyze the data. The results revealed that school psychologists carry out practices involving students, family members, and teachers, with five categories of practices standing out: psychological assessment of the student; welcoming, support, and guidance practices; brief interventions; planning, development, and monitoring of the activities; and dissemination of the program for the gifted. However, psychologists face challenges in their practice, such as the impact of mistaken myths and misconceptions, the government changes, the inconsistency in gifted education legislation, the insufficiency of investments in the program, and the influence of other contextual factors. In conclusion, school psychologists play crucial roles in serving the gifted, especially in mapping student's needs and supporting those involved in their education, but several factors limit their practice. Therefore, directions are proposed to enable a broader and more effective practice of the psychologist.(AU)

Este estudio tuvo por objetivo examinar prácticas de los/as psicólogos/as escolares en un programa educativo para alumnos superdotados, así como los desafíos que enfrentan estos profesionales. El escenario de investigación ha sido un programa educativo especializado para alumnos con altas capacidades/superdotación, ofrecido por una Secretaría del Estado de Educación de la región Centro-Oeste en Brasil. En este estudio participaron cinco psicólogos escolares que trabajan en este programa, y se utilizó como instrumento la entrevista semiestructurada. Para el análisis de datos, se optó por el análisis de contenido cualitativo. Los resultados revelan que los/las psicólogos/as escolares realizan prácticas involucrando a alumnos, familiares y docentes, en las cuales destacaron cinco categorías: evaluación psicológica del alumno; prácticas de acogida, apoyo y orientación; intervenciones breves; planificación, desarrollo y seguimiento de actividades; y difusión del programa para los superdotados. Sin embargo, los/as psicólogos/as se enfrentan a desafíos en su práctica, como el impacto de los mitos y creencias erróneas, de los cambios de gobierno, de la inconsistencia en la legislación sobre la educación de los superdotados, de la insuficiencia de inversiones en el programa y de la influencia de otros factores contextuales. Se concluye que los/as psicólogos/as escolares desarrollan un papel crucial en la atención al superdotado, especialmente en el mapeo de las necesidades de los alumnos y el apoyo a los involucrados en su educación, pero varios factores limitan su práctica. Por lo tanto, se proponen direcciones que permitan una actuación más amplia y efectiva de este profesional.(AU)

Idadismo e Fonoaudiologia: quando o preconceito afeta o olhar clínico sobre a pessoa idosa / Ageism and Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences: when the prejudice interferes in the clinical view on the aged person / Edadismo y logopedia: cuando el prejuicio interfiere en la visión clínica de la persona mayor

A Organização Mundial da Saúde preconiza que mudemos a forma como pensamos, sentimos e agimos com relação à idade e ao envelhecimento, lutando contra o idadismo direcionado à pessoa idosa - o conjunto de estereótipos, preconceitos e discriminação contra esse grupo. Diante do papel da fonoaudiologia na gerontologia, do impacto possível do idadismo no cuidado fonoaudiológico e por desconhecermos trabalhos semelhantes ao aqui proposto, objetivamos discutir o idadismo entre estudantes e profissionais da Fonoaudiologia. Realizou-se revisão integrativa de literatura, buscando-se artigos, em abril de 2023, a partir dos termos "idadismo" e "fonoaudiologia" nas bases Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed). Incluíram-se todas as referências publicadas nos últimos 15 anos sobre o tema, bem como as pesquisas pertinentes à revisão citadas nestes artigos. Foram encontradas cinco pesquisas, todas quantitativas, publicadas entre 2003 e 2021, duas realizadas nos Estados Unidos, duas no Chile e uma no Brasil. O idadismo foi avaliado como preconceito, como conhecimento indevido sobre o envelhecimento, atitudeinadequada com relação aos idosos e como estereótipo sobre eles, e foi encontrado em estudantes na metade (n=2) dos estudos que os investigaram, num deles sob a forma de conhecimento inadequado e no outro sob a forma de preconceito. Ademais, o idadismo esteve presente em fonoaudiólogos em um dos quatro estudos que os avaliaram, apresentado como estereótipo positivo. Os resultados desta revisão não são generalizáveis, mas podem fundamentar reflexões com repercussões no cuidado fonoaudiológico prestado a pessoas idosas e evidenciam a necessidade de mais pesquisas.

The World Health Organization Combating proposes combating ageism toward older persons- conceptualized as stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination against older people. Due to the role of speech and language pathologist (SLP) and audiologist in gerontology, because of the possible impact of ageism in caring for older persons and because we didn't find studies similar to this research, we aimed to discuss ageism between SLP and Audiology professionals and students. We conducted an integrative review, searching articles, in 2023 April, by terms "ageism" and "SLP" in the scientific bases Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed). All the research published in the last 15 years about the theme were included, as well as the theme-related cited in these researches. There were found five articles, all quantitative, published between 2003 and 2021, two in the United States of America, two in Chile and one in Brazil. Ageism was evaluated as prejudice, inadequate knowledge about the aging, inadequate attitude toward older persons and stereotypes about them. Ageism was found in half (n=2) of the studies that investigated SLP students, evidenced as inadequate knowledge in one of them and as prejudice in the other. Between SLP professionals, ageism was found in one of four studies, evidenced as a positive stereotype. The results are not generalizable, but they can stimulate reflections about repercussions in the care of aged persons and it points to the necessity of more studies. (AU)

La Organización Mundial de la Salud propones la lucha contra el edadismo - conoscido como estereotipos, prejuicios y discriminación contra las personas mayores. Debido al papel de la logopedia en gerontología y a la posibilidad de edadismo perjudicar el cuidado a las personas mayores, y porque desconocemos trabajos similares a nuestro, estudiamos el edadismo entre estudiantes y profesionales de Logopedia. Se desarrolló una revisión integrativa. Se buscaron artículos, en abril de 2023, por los términos "edadismo" y "logopedia" en las bases científicas Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed). Se incluyeron todas las investigaciones sobre el tema publicadas en los últimos 15 años, y aquellas relacionadas con el tema citadas en estas investigaciones. Se encontraron cinco artículos, todos cuantitativos, publicados entre 2003 y 2021, dos de los cuales fueron realizados en Estados Unidos de América, dos en Chile y uno en Brasil. La discriminación por edad se evaluó como prejuicio, conocimiento inadecuado sobre el proceso de envejecimiento, actitud inadecuada hacia las personas mayores y estereotipos sobre esas personas. La discriminación por edad se encontró en la mitad (n=2) de los estudios sobre este grupo, evidenciada como conocimiento inadecuado en uno y como prejuicio en otro. Entre los logopedas, en uno de los cuatro estudios se encontró discriminación por edad, como un estereotipo positivo. Los resultados no son generalizables, pero pueden estimular reflexiones sobre las repercusiones en el cuidado gerontológico y señalar la necesidad de realizar más estudios. (AU)

Caring to deny, confront, shiver: negativity as a critique of the "natural caregiver" stereotype in nursing.

To discuss, based on Adorno's philosophy, the negativity of care in confronting the "natural caregiver" discourse in the profession and exercise discursive analysis of this stereotype based on the negative trihedron of care (deny, confront, shiver). Theoretical study that articulates negative dialectic with the biopolitics of caring for the body. Negativity of care, as an immanent criticism that emerges from the dialectic between help and power, aims to shiver at bodily suffering, a residue of nature violated by cultural discursive practices. We applied the methodological framework of care to deny, confront, and shiver in label analysis to highlight non-identity between nursing reality and natural caregiver affirmation. We confronted the injustices made invisible in the prejudice that women are naturally predestined to provide for others' well-being. We reflected on the contradictions and suffering of women, nurses or not, invisible in the vaunted loving care. We proposed shiver as a metaphor for deny, a critical negativity that opens to the strange coerced and mutilated in the human body.
