Teachers often undertake nighttime work involving exam corrections, projects and devising lesson plans in their homes. Many present excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and depression.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate EDS and depression in teachers from public schools.Methods201 female teachers were evaluated in the district of Quipapá/PE, Brazil. Among the study sample, 38 working 1 shift (CONTROL 1), 40 working 2 shifts (CONTROL 2) and 123 working 3 shifts (WTeachers-3T). The subjects were submitted to evaluation by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).The EDS data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's multiple comparison, p<0.05and expressed in MEDIAN (MINIMUM - MAXIMUM) whereas the depression data were analyzed by the Chi-square test, with p<0.05, expressed in percentage.ResultsWTeachers-3T presented excessive daytime sleepiness and higher rates of mild (24%) and moderate (37%) depression compared to controls - Control 1: mild (8%) and moderate (11%) - Control 2: mild (5%) and moderate (15%).ConclusionThis study found that teachers in the Quipapá municipality of Penambuco state working three shifts showed excessive daytime sleepiness and a higher percentage of mild and moderate depression compared to teachers working only one (1) or two (2) shifts.

Production of meals in Food and Nutrition Units (FNU) requires human labor performance in order to attend demand. Stress is one of the factors responsible for alterations in the health of these professionals. Reduced attention is one of the negative effects caused by stress.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate attention in Food Handlers (FH).Methods67 professionals were evaluated, subdivided into FH with less than 5 years in the profession, who were included as the control group (Control, n=29), and FH with more than 5 years in the profession (FH>5, n=38). Lipp’s Inventory of Stress Symptoms for adults (LISS), the digit symbol, d2, forward digit span, backward digit span and paced auditory serial addition tests were applied. The data found on the LISS were analysed by Fisher’s Exact and Chi-Square tests and individual attention tests were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test, with data expressed as Median (Minimum and Maximum) with p<0.05. A total of 73.68% of FH>5 presented stress versus 13.79% of Control. Also, 57.89% of FH>5 with stress presented physical symptoms and 15.79% psychological symptoms. In the Control, 9.68% presented physical symptoms.Results73.68% of FH>5 with stress and 17.24% of the Control were in the resistance phase. Regarding attention, the FH>5 presented reduced focused attention (32.5±2.9), auditory attention (7.25±0.4) and resistance to interference (4.67±1.1), compared to their respective controls (43.88±1.39), (8.63±0.38), (9.25±1.16), p<0.05.Discussion and ConclusionsThe activity of food handling can cause stress and attention level reduction after 5 years.

Resumo: Este artigo investiga dentro do complexo familiar, o ciúme como o retrato eminente do conflito que impera nas relações amorosas, discorrendo sobre as possibilidades que emergem entre os vínculos afetivos onde o conflito se insere, analisando-o numa perspectiva da Abordagem Arquetípica no contexto do Processo de Individuação. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se numa abordagem qualitativa, de modo que, viabilizou detectar através de entrevistas semiestruturadas o conflito existente nas relações amorosas, contando com a participação de cinco casais, de 23 a 55 anos de idade. Relações acometidas pelo ciúme evidenciaram principalmente o tormento causado pela possibilidade do fim do casamento, direcionando ao ciúme a culpa das tensões ocasionadas dentro do núcleo familiar. Por fim, é visto que, o curso da relação se finca sobre o ciúme e o medo da perda do cônjuge provoca um empecilho para que o processo de individuação ocorra, mas, ao desvelar o conflito e ressignificar as concepções sinaladas, renova-se a capacidade de transcendência do sujeito.

IntroductionDissociative identity disorder, formerly called multiple personality disorder, is a rupture of identity characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states, described in some cultures as an experience of possession.ObjectiveThe case of a 30-year-old woman with dissociative identity disorder and borderline personality disorder associated with a previous history of anomalous experience was reported.Case ReportA 30-year-old woman who fulfilled the DSM-5 criteria for dissociative identity disorder and borderline personality disorder reported the presence of unusual sensory experiences (clairvoyance, premonitory dreams, clairaudience) since she was 5 years old. The patient told that for 12 months she presented episodes in which a “second self” took charge of her actions: she would then speak with a male voice, become aggressive, and require several people to contain her desire for destruction. After 3 months of religious follow-up, and accepting her unusual experiences and trance possessions as normal and natural, she had significant improvement.ConclusionWhen approaching DID and BPD patients, it is necessary to observe the anomalous phenomena (in the light of) closer to their cultural and religious contexts, to promote better results in the treatment of their disorders, which has not been explored in the treatment guide.
