The relationship between parents and children and human development has been the greatest interest to Psychology because it impacts the youth’s behaviour and well being. Thus, this study aimed to investigate parental styles adopted by adolescents’ parents from a combination of responsiveness and demandingness dimensions as well as by gender and age group. 296 adolescents aged 14 to 19 years (M=16.03; DP=0.96), high school students from public and private schools in the city of Passo Fundo/RS and surrounding area participated of this study. We used a sociodemographic data questionnaire constructed for the study and Scale of Parental Responsiveness and Demandingness. The analysis revealed that there was a balance between the perception of neglectful (33.1%) e authoritative (32.7%) styles, followed by authoritarian (17.3%) and permissive (16.9%) styles. There were no statistical differences between responsiveness and demandingness and sex. The younger adolescents perceive their mothers as significantly more demanding when compared to the older ones. The same occured with the combined demandingness. The results also indicate that there were statistically significant differences in the perception of responsiveness and demandingness by age group. The findings of this study suggest further investigations, relating parental styles with other variables of influence and evidence the need of parental training for parents who adopt neglectful style.
The present study investigated the impact of prematurity in the motherhood constellation. Three primiparous mothers - aged between 22 and 31 years old - who had premature babies participated in the research. It is a qualitative research, of multiple case studies, carried out through content analysis, proposed by Bardin (2011). The interviews were analyzed from the interpretative axes of the motherhood constellation according to Stern (1997): life and growth; relate primary; matrix of support and reorganization of identity. It was identified that, the four axes considered normal to all primiparous women, are intensified in mothers of premature babies. The participants reported the fear of the baby's death and the difficulty in establishing an emotional bond with the child, and a support network based on the couple was identified, with the father's role in the maternity growing and a greater investment by the woman as a mother, due to the feeling of guilt for premature birth.
Introdução: Objetivou-se levantar indicadores cognitivos e emocionais de crianças com câncer (grupo cínico [GC]) e comparar os resultados a crianças sem a doença (grupo não clínico [GNC]), pois o câncer infantil muda o funcionamento familiar. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho quantitativo, comparativo e de caráter transversal. Avaliaram-se 27 crianças, entre 7 e 12 anos, com o modelo Pfister. Para análise dos dados, utilizaram-se as variáveis categóricas dos indicadores de frequência de cores, síndromes e os aspectos formais do instrumento, além do teste Qui-Quadrado. Resultados: Os aspectos cognitivos e emocionais das crianças do GC não apresentam diferença estatística significativa se comparado ao GNC, embora se possam destacar alguns achados. Discussão: Discorreu-se sobre as pequenas divergências entre os dois grupos, quanto às cores, síndromes e ao fato de crianças com câncer apresentarem aspectos formais mais estruturados. Conclusão: para pesquisas futuras, sugere-se considerar o tempo em que a criança está em tratamento.
A presença de sintomas depressivos em pacientes crônicos é comum e está associada com a redução da qualidade de vida. Esse estudo em questão, objetivou levantar a sintomatologia depressiva em pacientes fibromiálgicos crônicos e identificar sua relação com características de personalidade. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e correlacional. A amostra consistiu de 20 indivíduos, homens e mulheres, com idades entre 32 a 62 anos, com diagnóstico de fibromialgia e em processo de tratamento clínico. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se o Inventário de Depressão Beck (BDI-II) e a Bateria Fatorial de Personalidade (BFP) e as análises foram descritivas e correlacionais. Identificou-se sintomas depressivos moderados a graves na maioria dos pesquisados e houve associação entre Neuroticismo, Extroversão, Realização e Abertura, indicando que pacientes com fibromialgia se mostram em sofrimento psicológico, com possível dificuldades na tomada de iniciativa, na abertura a novas experiências e na automotivação.
