O presente estudo buscou investigar a experiência de tornar-se mãe de um bebê prematuro na adolescência, em particular, a relação que a mãe adolescente estabelece com o bebê prematuro, durante a internação hospitalar do bebê. Participaram quatro mães adolescentes entre 17 e 18 anos de idade, que tiveram seus bebês prematuros em dois hospitais públicos de Porto Alegre, as quais foram entrevistadas em três momentos da internação do bebê na UTI Neonatal (aproximadamente no 15º dia de vida do bebê, uma semana após este contato e no momento de pré-alta hospitalar do bebê). Os resultados apontaram para um somatório de crises concomitantes como a adolescência, a maternidade e a prematuridade, o que representou um impacto importante neste momento de transição para as adolescentes. Para algumas mães foi possível recuperar-se do choque inicial causado pelo nascimento prematuro de seu bebê, fato relacionado à variação no grau de desenvolvimento individual e nos modos de funcionamento psíquico de cada uma. Além disso, aspectos típicos do funcionamento adolescente mostraram-se evidenciados, mesmo com a exigência de que as mães interrompessem seu processo de adolescer para cuidar do bebê na UTI Neo. Assim também, notou-se que há diferentes tempos que marcaram esta transição para a maternidade: o tempo da UTI, o tempo do bebê e o tempo da adolescente, muito distintos e com características próprias. Outros estudos devem ser realizados nesta temática específica, uma vez que não se conhece os efeitos a médio e longo prazo deste tipo de transição para a maternidade para a mãe e para o bebê. Espera-se que este estudo possa contribuir para se considerar as especificidades do momento da adolescência no contexto da UTI Neo. / The present study investigates the experience of giving birth to a premature baby in adolescence, specifically examining the relationship the adolescent mother establishes with the premature baby during its hospital internment. Four adolescent mothers between 17 and 18 years old took part in the research. They gave birth to their premature babies in two different public hospitals of Porto Alegre and were interviewed at three moments of the babies' internment in the NICU (about 15 days after the babies were born, a week after this first contact and right before the babies' hospital discharge). The results pointed to a sum of simultaneous crisis, such as adolescence, motherhood and prematurity, which represented a major impact at this time of transition for adolescents. For some mothers it was easy to recover from the initial shock caused by the premature birth of their babies, and this fact is related to variations in the degree of individual development as well as to the different modes of psychic functioning of each one of them. Furthermore, some typical aspects of adolescence were shown, even though the adolescents were demanded to interrupt their process of being adolescents to take care of a premature baby in NICU. Thus, it was possible to notice that there were different times that marked the transition to motherhood: the time of NICU, the babies' and the adolescents' time, which were very distinct from each other, showing specific characteristics. Other studies should be conducted in this specific area, since the medium and long term effects of this kind of transition to motherhood, regarding the adolescent mother and the baby, are not known. It is expected that this study contributes to better understanding the specificities of adolescent mothers in the NICU.

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo principal compreender e explicar o desenvolvimento musical dos bebês tendo em vista as suas relações interpessoais no contexto do projeto Música para Bebês. Os dados foram coletados nos encontros de um grupo de bebês (até 2 anos) e seus acompanhantes no projeto de Extensão do Departamento de Música do Instituto de Artes da UFRGS entre março de 2004 e novembro de 2005. Os encontros foram registrados em fitas VHS e, durante a análise, organizados em um protocolo descritivo intitulado Descrição dos Dados de Vídeo (DDV). O referencial teórico utilizado fundamentou-se na educação, na educação musical, na psicologia e na medicina incluindo autores como Piaget (1987), Beyer (1994), Barceló (2003), Stern (1992), Klaus e Klaus (1989), Klaus e Kennel (1992). A pesquisa foi desenvolvida segundo uma abordagem qualitativa e o método utilizado foi de observação longitudinal. A análise dos dados confirmou a hipótese de que o desenvolvimento musical está vinculado às relações interpessoais do bebê e apontou para a importância do processo no seu desenvolvimento musical, ou seja, da promoção de vivências musicais para os bebês. Conforme os dados, o projeto Música para Bebês mostrou-se um espaço no qual tanto os bebês quanto os adultos podem desenvolver as relações interpessoais e as vivências musicais. / The present study aimed mainly at understanding and explaining the musical development of babies considering their interpersonal relationships in the context of the project ‘Music for Babies’. The data were collected during meetings of a group of babies (up to 2 years old) and their companions in the Music Department extension project of UFRGS Institute of Arts between March 2004 and November 2005. The meetings were taped on VHS and were organized in a descriptive protocol, during the analysis, entitled ‘Description of Video Data’ (DDV). The theoretical reference used here was based on education, on musical education, on Psychology and on Medicine including authors such as Piaget (1987), Beyer (1994), Barceló (2003), Stern (1992), Klaus and Klaus (1989), Klaus and Kennel (1992). The research was developed following a qualitative approach and a longitudinal observation method. The analysis of the data confirmed the hypothesis that the musical development is connected to the baby’s interpersonal relationships and it pointed out the importance of the process in his/her musical development, which is, the promotion of musical experiences for babies. According to the data, the project ‘Music for Babies’ showed to be a space in which both babies and adults can develop their interpersonal relationships and their musical experiences.

The purpose of this essay is to establish applicable law regarding the questions outlined in the paper about medical evidence in cases of child abuse in the form of shaken baby syndrome. In order to answer the essay's research questions about this, the essay has applied a legal-judicial method based on a hierarchical order of legislation, legislative history, case law, and doctrine. In the analysis, the conclusions are that medical expertise is generally valued highly by the courts while at the same it is being considered with caution in the individual case. Mostly, by the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, is considered resting on an uncertain scientific basis, the legal assessment of the question of liability has been affected so that the evidentiary requirement "beyond reasonable doubt" is not to be considered met in recent case law. The essay also addresses the discussion on an international scientific level regarding the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome.

abstract: The purpose of the study is to gain a better understanding of baby boomers' attitudes toward video chat applications and software based on their user experiences through the measurement of the level of use, usefulness, usability and aesthetics preferences. 133 participants recruited at a local public library and at three senior centers took the survey and 14 respondents were interviewed. The results of the study indicate: (1) Baby boomers have diverse attitudes and experiences in video chatting, but their attitudes do not present a significant difference from those of older generations; (2) Baby boomers' preferences for interface design are influenced by their psychological characteristics rather than physical changes; (3) Family members and close friends are a great resource for assistance and motivation for boomers. The knowledge of motivational factors and barrier factors could help maintain the existing baby boomer users and encourage potential users by providing an improved video chat experience design for them to connect with younger generations. This research could also lead social services into the telehealth age by bridging the gap between a traditional intervention and modern instant video communication. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Design 2014

Magister Public Health - MPH / Breastfeeding impacts on the health of both the mother and infant and has been noted as being influenced by physiological, physical, socio-economic and environmental factors. The undisputed benefit of exclusive breastfeeding for both the mother and child has led to the global prioritisation of the promotion, protection and support of breastfeeding with the adoption of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) strategy. Baby Friendly Hospital (BFH) status is awarded to a maternity unit when they are found to be complying with set criteria Ten Steps to successful Breastfeeding. South Africa has implemented a re-evaluation system for retention of accreditation status, by reassessing accredited facilities every three years. The respective provinces are tasked with monitoring the implementation of BFHI in their public health facilities. Internal monitoring reports, completed by the Western Cape Provincial Department of Health, reflect erosion of key steps between national reassessments. Aim: To describe the experiences, challenges and successes of BFHI implementation in the BFH accredited facilities in the Cape Town geographical health district. Methodology: An explorative qualitative study was conducted. One key informant interview, ten in-depth interviews with champions for BFHI in the maternity facilities and two focus group discussions with frontline staff working at these facilities were used to collect data. The data was analysed using thematic content analysis to identify the main themes related to the successes and challenges experienced with the maintenance of the required practices related to BFHI accreditation. Results: Participants reported that the implementation of the BFHI impacted positively on the health of both mothers and infants. Fewer children were being admitted for common childhood illnesses such as diarrhoea subsequent  to BFHI implementation. Mothers were recovering more quickly after delivery and less complications related to delivery, such as postpartum bleeding, were observed after the implementation of BFHI. BFHI implementation had a positive impact on the attitudes of maternity staff to breastfeeding promotion, protection and support. Subsequent to being awarded BFH status, facilities are tasked with maintaining the implemented practices. Challenges to maintaining the practices included lack of implementation of BFHI practices at clinics, lack of support from facility managers and support staff such as counsellors. The internal assessments implemented as supportive monitoring structures are considered by participants to be a demotivating process and concerns were raised about non nursing staff assessing nursing practices. Conclusion: The potential impact of this strategy on infant and maternal health must be realized by the implementers of BFHI, before the strategized aim is achieved. Co-ordination and support by all role players is vital to the success and elimination of challenges experienced with implementation and maintenance of the BFH strategy. / South Africa
