[pt] O presente estudo objetivou analisar de que modo vêm se efetivando as legislações e as políticas públicas voltadas à garantia do direito à convivência familiar de crianças e adolescentes com deficiência mental e/ou transtorno mental. Durante muito tempo estas crianças e estes adolescentes ficaram fora do foco de preocupações das políticas públicas. Esquecidos em instituições de cunho asilar, comumente ligados à rede filantrópica, ou mesmo escondidos no seio de suas famílias, o fato é que crianças e adolescentes com deficiência e/ou transtorno mental ficaram fadados a uma certa invisibilidade, o que reforçou o desconhecimento que ainda recai sobre eles. Hoje vivemos um novo momento da história no que se refere aos modos de se conceber e agir o cuidado de crianças e adolescentes, que se amparam na Doutrina da Proteção Integral, preconizada pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Depreendem-se daí as diretrizes de centralidade da família, de excepcionalidade das medidas de acolhimento institucional e de co-responsabilidade entre Estado, sociedade e família no que se refere ao cuidado de crianças e adolescentes. No entanto, se ao nível do discurso, há um consenso de que a família é o lugar ideal onde crianças e adolescentes devem ser criados, educados e protegidos, na prática o que se observa é um descompasso entre a importância atribuída ao papel da família e a falta de condições mínimas para que esta possa oferecer aos seus filhos uma vida digna, sobretudo nos casos em que as condições econômicas das famílias são precárias. O cenário de desassistência às famílias se exacerba quando nos referimos à especificidade de crianças e adolescentes que têm deficiência e/ou transtorno mental, e que, por isso, apresentam demandas diferenciadas de cuidados e tratamentos. Na presente dissertação foram analisadas 36 entrevistas realizadas com profissionais referenciados a instituições públicas e privadas, que de algum modo estão envolvidas no cuidado de crianças e adolescentes com deficiência mental e/ou transtorno mental. Estas entrevistas, vale salientar, integram o conjunto de materiais produzidos por duas pesquisas realizadas pelo CIESPI – Centro Internacional de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre a Infância, em convênio com a PUC-Rio – entre os anos de 2006 e 2010 e que ainda não haviam sido exaustivamente analisados. Os resultados apontaram para o fato de que, embora tenham ocorrido progressos importantes nos últimos tempos, ainda há muito que se avançar no sentido de garantir a plena efetivação do direito de crianças e adolescentes com deficiência mental e/ou transtorno mental à convivência familiar. / [en] This study focused on the analysis of the implementation of the laws and public policies aimed at guaranteeing the right of children and adolescents with mental disabilities and/or mental disorders to live in the context of the family. For too long these children and adolescents remained excluded from public policy concerns. Forgotten in closed institutions, often run by the philanthropic sector, or even hidden in the bosom of their families, the fact is that children and adolescents with mental disabilities and / or mental disorders were doomed to a certain invisibility, which reinforced the lack of knowledge that still exists about them. At present, Brazil goes through a new moment in history when it comes to ways of conceiving children and adolescents as well as providing care for them, based on the Doctrine of Full Protection, as recommended by the Statute of the Child and the Adolescent. These changes have favored the emergence of a set of guidelines focusing on three aspects: the family setting as central for child development; residential care as an exceptional measure, and the co-responsibility between state, society and the family for the care of children and adolescents. However, if on the level of discourse, there is a consensus that the family setting is the place where children and adolescents should be raised, educated and protected, in practice what is observed is a mismatch between the importance given to the role of family and lack of minimum conditions to enable it to offer their children a decent life, particularly when these families are poor. The scenario of lack of support to families is exacerbated for those whose children have mental disabilities and / or mental disorders, and consequently need special care and treatment. In this dissertation were analyzed 36 interviews carried out with professionals who work for public and private organizations and are involved in the care of children and adolescents with mental disabilities and / or mental disorder. These interviews were conducted as part of two studies carried out by CIESPI - International Center for Research and Policy on Childhood, in association with PUC-Rio - between the years 2006 and 2010. The results pointed out to the conclusion that, although there have been important advances in recent years, much remains to be done in order to ensure the full realization of these children and adolescents’ rights to remain in their family setting.

[pt] A presente tese tem como proposta analisar de forma crítica a trajetória da política de atendimento destinada ao adolescente pobre, acusado e sentenciado judicialmente, pela prática de atos análogos a crimes, tendo por ponto de partida as ações encampas pelo Estado brasileiro, materializadas por meio da proposição de normativas e instituições específicas destinadas para este público, a partir da proclamação da República. Tomando como foco da presente pesquisa, a particularidade do atendimento dispensado ao menor infrator, sob a égide Fundação Nacional do Bem-Estar do Menor (FUNABEM) criada em 1964, e sua expressão atual, referenciada pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e de maneira especial, pelo Sistema Nacional de Atendimento Socioeducativo promulgado em 2012, oferecemos destaque, em buscar compreender o lugar da assistência no atendimento prestado ao grupo de adolescentes aqui referidos, desde a origem das ações desta espécie, até o contexto contemporâneo no qual, Assistência Social alcança o status de política de seguridade social à luz da Constituição Federal de 1988. Para a análise que segue consideramos que é na contradição entre ações direcionadas ao confinamento compulsório, que referem processos de criminalização e punição e a propagação de discursos protetivos fundamentados na prestação da assistência, destinada à sua regeneração, que se objetivou historicamente a política pública destinada aos adolescentes pobres considerados delinquentes no Brasil. Compreendemos que, ao mesmo tempo em que as ações destinadas a este grupo de adolescentes, se firmam como medidas protetivas, através da concessão de alimentação, abrigo, educação e profissionalização, tais ações estiveram embasadas, ideológica e por vezes objetivamente, em processos de punição, impressos através da lógica de disciplinarização dos pobres, direcionada pelo Estado capitalista, por meio da contenção e isolamento em instituições fechadas, àqueles considerados perigosos. Ainda, que convivendo historicamente, os polos proteção e punição se equilibram ou se alteram como um pêndulo entre o aprofundamento de ações evidentemente punitivas e aquelas relacionadas à proteção e auxílio, sendo este movimento equilibrado ou tendente para um extremo ou outro, de acordo com as tensões inscritas na organização e direção social presentes em cada contexto e período histórico de nossa sociedade. / [en] The goal of this thesis is to analyze the trajectory of care policy for the poor teenager, accused and sentenced in court, for committing acts comparable to crimes having as a starting point, the proposed actions by the Brazilian State, materialized through the normative proposition and specific institutions designed for this population, from the proclamation of the Brazilian Republic. Taking as the focus of this research, the peculiarity of the care given to underage infringer under the aegis of National Welfare of Children Foundation (FUNABEM) established in 1964, and its current expression, referenced by the Children and Adolescents Statute and, in a special way, by the National System of Socio-Educational Services promulgated in 2012 we highlight the attempt for understanding the role of assistance in the care provided to the group of teenagers herein, since the beginning of this kind of actions, to the contemporary context in which social assistance reaches the status of social security policy in the light of the Constitution of 1988. For the following analysis we consider that is in the contradiction between actions aimed at compulsory confinement, referring processes of criminalization and punishment and the spread of protective speeches based on the provision of assistance aimed at regeneration, which is aimed historically public policy for the poor adolescents considered delinquents in Brazil. We understand that, while the actions to this group of teenagers established as protective measures through food concession, refuge, education and vocational training, such actions have been informed, ideological and sometimes objectively, in punishment processes, printed by the logic of disciplining the poor, directed by the capitalist State, by means of restraint and seclusion in closed institutions, those considered dangerous. Even if living historically together, the poles of protection and punishment are balanced or change like a pendulum between the deepening of course punitive actions and those related to the protection and assistance, which is balanced movement or tending to one extreme or the other, according with tensions inscribed in social organization and direction present in every context and historical period of our society.

During the past two decades, concerns about Black males’ academic achievement have been a major theme in the literature devoted to education and social sciences. Despite over two decades of studies focused specifically on Black males and their academic underachievement, the achievement gap persists. According to the National Center for Educational Statistic (2006), African-American males were reported as being disproportionally negatively represented in regards to academic achievement. Some researchers suggested Black children’s underachievement might be due to the lack of parental involvement. Other studies have highlighted statements of Black males who indicated parental involvement factors that contributed to their academic success. In Howard (2014) study, Black males stated their parents contributed to their success by “staying on them” regarding schoolwork and by setting higher expectations for their academic performance. The concept of parental involvement is cultural-bound and multi-dimensional. Parental involvement is also a bi-directional process that involves school and parents. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that described parent involvement during high school of Black male students enrolled in a four-year college, and the distribution of perceived parent involvement during high school across this population. This study employed Yan and Lin’s (2005) parent involvement during high school survey to collect data from a convenient and purposeful sample of 146 Black males enrolled in an undergraduate degree seeking-program at a university in the southern region of the United States. The data was statistically analyzed using Confirmatory Factor analysis. The results of this study revealed the proposed hypothesized three factors model of parent involvement did not align well with the present data set. However, the individual subscale factors when analyzed in isolation, with some modifications, did align. As for the distribution of the factors, Family Norms were perceived as the most prevalent parent involvement subscale factor during high school for this particular population. Under the Family Norms factor subscale “Parent-teenager relationship” emerged as the most dominant variable, followed by “Educational expectations.” This study was significant as it highlighted and added to the knowledge relevant to successful Black males’ perceptions of parental involvement factors during their high school years. Identifying these factors can be useful toward improving graduation rates among Black males. In addition, information gathered can assist in further development of effective parent engagement school programming initiatives specific for this population.

In our country, it is evident that where the violence, in its most diverge forms of expression has been present, forming part, and at times, the model of identification in many of our adolescent, serving them as a standard form of conduct and self affirmation. We form part of a culture, which cohabits condescendingly in a scene, where children and young people walk about aimlessly in the streets of our cities. The acts of violence which follow, falI easily in the ruIe of vulgarity and commonplace, so gradually loosing the extraordinary character and brutality, which is inherent. This study is on juvenile violence. The focus was on the Brazilian Culture paying special attention to the contemporary Family, the role of the media was discussed, and, in the end, concluded that the effect of alI these diverge factors interacted with the subjectivity of juvenile violence. It is interesting that the violence, while the situation affects mankind, and treating this research qualitatively, in a phenomenal perspective, the dialogue was the starting point. This dialogue was from the collected evidence, such as the notes from the experience of representatives of the culture near to the juvenile violence. A judge from the Child and Juvenile Court, a journalist and members of two of the families, whose children were involved in acts of violence, either as a victim or attacker, were interviewed. The method of analysis was an understanding of the collected information from the evidence in contrast to the theoretic ideas in question. Aspects of the Brazilian Culture which facilitate the expression of violence were identified in the study; it brought to light a fragile and uncompromising family regarding the education of their children; a negligent and insensitive Society to the needs of the children; politicians indifferent to the poverty of the country; a superficial Media where the emphasis is in the hidden interest of the Market Economy, where Ethics and Morality do not dictate the ruIes of conduct and social act. We are face to face with contemporary man in his abandonment. In the end we recognize in violence alI the potential of chaos, not only in the manner of its destructiveness, bust also in the breeding potential, from which, however, we recognise it in its legal proceedings. / É do domínio comum que a violência juvenil tem assumido proporções alarmantes, no Brasil e nas diversas partes do mundo. Em nosso País, deparamo-nos com uma realidade em que a violência, nas suas mais diversas formas de expressão, tem estado presente, fazendo parte, por vezes, dos modelos de identificação de muitos de nossos adolescentes, servindo-lhes, inclusive, de padrão de conduta e forma de auto-afirmação. Fazemos parte de uma cultura que convive, condescendentemente, com um cenário em que crianças e jovens perambulam, sem rumo, pelas ruas de nossas cidades. Os atos de violência, que daí resultam, caem, facilmente, no domínio da banalidade e do lugar comum, perdendo, gradativamente, o caráter de extraordinário e de brutal que lhe é inerente. Trata-se de um trabalho que tem por objeto de estudo a violência juvenil. Focalizamos a Cultura brasileira, enfocamos a Família contemporânea, discutimos o papel da Mídia e, por fim, vimos como todas as forças e fluxos advindos de diversas instâncias, interagem no sentido da constituição da subjetividade de um adolescente violento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na perspectiva fenomenológica. Utilizamos o diálogo como ponto de partida. Ele aconteceu, através de depoimentos colhidos, como registro da experiência de representantes da cultura, acerca da violência juvenil. Ouvimos um juiz da Vara da Infância e da Juventude, uma jornalista, e membros de duas famílias, cujos filhos estiveram envolvidos com atos de violência, seja na condição de vítima ou de autor. O procedimento de análise foi o da compreensão das informações colhidas via depoimentos. Foram feitas articulações com o pensamento de teóricos que tratam da questão. Em nossa análise, identificamos aspectos da Cultura Brasileira que funcionam como facilitadores da expressão de violência; deparamo-nos com uma família fragilizada e pouco comprometida com a educação dos filhos; vimos uma sociedade omissa e pouco sensível à causa da infància; encontramos políticos indiferentes à pobreza no país; assistimos a uma Mídia superficial, cujo compromisso maior se faz com interesses escusos de uma Economia de Mercado, em que princípios éticos e morais não ditam as regras de conduta e de convivência social. Ficamos frente a frente com o homem contemporâneo em seu desamparo. Por fim, reconhecemos, na violência, toda a potência do caos; não apenas no teor de sua destrutividade, mas também, em seu potencial criador, desde que, para tanto, o reconheçamos em toda a sua processualidade.

O adolescente, indivíduo em situação de pessoa em desenvolvimento biopsicossocial, protegido no Brasil pelo ECA (Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente), é objeto de estudo dessa pesquisa. Este trabalho tem base no aporte teórico de Amartya Sen com o objetivo de realizar um levantamento sobre fatores de risco e proteção vivenciados por adolescentes da cidade de Campos do Jordão, São Paulo. Os adolescentes responderam a uma versão eletrônica adaptada do questionário proposto por DellAglio, Koller, Cerqueira-Santos e Colaça denominado Questionário da Juventude Brasileira Versão II. Foram aplicados 402 questionários, representando os adolescentes das escolas municipais matriculados entre o 7 e 9 ano, com nível de confiança de 95% e com margem de erro de 4,42. Os dados foram analisados utilizando os softwares LibreOffice Calc 5.0 e PSPP 0.8.4. Os resultados demonstram baixo nível educacional das famílias, tendo apenas 20% das mães e 11% dos pais concluído o Ensino Médio. Como fator de risco, os adolescentes, em sua maior parte (57,1%), estão em constante contato com amigos próximos usuários de drogas, mesmo que a maioria lícita (32,9%). Possuem familiares usuários de drogas (55,1%), também de caráter lícito (41,4%), 21,4% dos participantes afirmaram que já experimentaram drogas, sendo a maconha a mais apontada (10%), seguida de bebida alcoólica (8,2%). Em relação à sexualidade, 17,2% dos adolescentes responderam já ter mantido relações sexuais, sendo que 2,9% afirmam ter contraído doenças sexualmente transmissíveis e 2,9% engravidaram. É alarmante o alto índice de adolescentes da amostra com ideação suicida (25,4%) e adolescentes que já tentaram suicídio (12,5%), dentre eles, a maioria do sexo feminino (86%). Outros dados relevantes referem-se às restritas oportunidades de lazer em espaços públicos e coletivos, uma vez que a amostra apontou atividades prioritariamente individuais e executadas em suas próprias residências, especialmente uso de internet (68,8%) e televisão (62,8%). O estudo também apontou índice de 14,2% de jovens que já se envolveram em brigas com agressão física, e outras situações ilegais. Foram identificados ainda aspectos que podem indicar baixo grau de coesão familiar, tais como ameaças ou humilhação (23,9%) e agressões (11,9%). Cada um dos indicadores deve ser cuidadosamente avaliado pelos que pretendem planejar o desenvolvimento do município e apoiar o desenvolvimento de cidadãos de sucesso. / The teenager, individual in a situation of bio-psycho-social development, protected in Brazil by the ECA (Estatuto da Criança e Adolecente - Statute of Child and Adolescent), is the object study of this research. This work have been based on the theoretical contribution of Amartya Sen in order to carry out a survey on risk and protective factors experienced by adolescents in the city of Campos do Jordão, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Adolescents answered to an adapted electronic version of the questionnaire proposed by DellAglio, Koller, Cerqueira-Santos and Colaça called Questionário da Juventude Brasileira Versão II. This research came out with four hundred and two (402) questionnaires completed, representing adolescents from public schools enrolled between the 7th and 9th grade, with 95% confidence level and with a margin of error of 4.42. The PSPP 0.8.4 software and LibreOffice Calc 5.0 had analyzed all the data. The results show low educational level of these teenagers families, with only 20% of mothers and 11% of parents completed high school. As a risk factor, the majority of the teenagers, (57.1%), are in constant contact with close addict friends, even though most of them are licit drugs users (32.9%). The teenagers families have also addiction related issues (55.1%), but mainly with licit drugs (41.4%). Among the participants, 21.4% said have tried drugs, being marijuana the most often mentioned (10%), followed by alcohol (8.2%). With regard to sexuality, 17.2% of the adolescents stated they had sexual intercourse, and 2.9% claim having contracted sexually transmitted diseases and 2.9% became pregnant. It is alarming the high rate of adolescents in this sample with suicidal ideation (25.4%) and 12.5% have attempted suicide, however the highest rate among them is comprised mostly by female individuals (86%). Other relevant data refer to restricted leisure opportunities in public and collective spaces, since the sample pointed primarily individual activities performed in their own homes, especially Internet use (68.8%) and TV watching (62.8%). The study also pointed out an index of 14.2% of the teens had been involved in fights with physical aggression and other illegal situations. They also identified aspects that may indicate a low level of family cohesion indicated by threats or humiliation verbal abuse (23.9%) and physical abuse (11.9%). Those in charge of planning social development for the city in order to create successful citizens should carefully evaluate each of these indicators.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of parent-adolescent individuation on quality of siblings relationship among late adolescent females. Findings to date indicate that while changes are occurring in the parent-child subsystem. In accordance with the family systems theory, during the process of individuation the sibling relationship experiences some conflict or rivalry.

Thesis (M.Ed. (Curriculum Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2020 / The aim of this study was to explore perceptions of learners on the effectiveness of socio-economic intervention strategies in Mawa area, Mopani District in Limpopo Province. The study sought to investigate the effectiveness of socio-economic intervention strategies and to find out from learners other ways that can help in reducing teenage pregnancy. Six learners from three secondary schools between the ages of 14 and 19 were sampled. Data was collected using in-depth interviews to allow the researcher a platform to ask open-response questions and to explore learners’ perceptions of the effectiveness of socio-economic intervention strategies. The data was analysed thematically by carefully identifying and expanding significant themes that emerged from the participants’ perceptions of the effectiveness of socio-economic intervention strategies for teenage pregnancy. The study revealed that socio-economic intervention strategies for teenage pregnancy are not effective in rural areas of Mawa, Mopani District in Limpopo Province and as such, there is a greater need for parenting education in the province. The study recommends that priority be given to employment as well as women empowerment in the province; and that religious organisations, community leaders and teachers should work together and harder to educate their children about sex and teenage pregnancy. The study further recommends that government should fund researchers to be placed in rural areas so that they can study the culture and socio dynamics (economic structures) in different rural communities. In this way, they will be able to recommend intervention strategies and solutions that are in line with the challenges faced by teenagers in those communities.

Hoarding disorder is a relatively new diagnosis in the DSM-5, only just included in the most recent edition. The disorder has piqued the interest of many in the community, in part because of the hit TV show called “Hoarders.” Although there is interest, there continues to be relatively few research studies into the causes, treatment, and management of this disorder specifically in adolescences. Yet, in the research that has been published, it often sites the disorder first appearing in adolescents. This paper will discuss the following elements of adolescent hoarding disorder: The potential etiology and risk factors noted in the literature, the DSM-5 criteria for the diagnosis of hoarding disorder, and the characteristic signs and symptoms found in the adolescent presentation, as well as treatment. Finally, it will also include recommendations for healthcare professionals for early screening and treatment.

Bakgrund: Majoriteten av tonårsgraviditeterna var oplanerade men tonårsmammorna ställde sig ofta positiva till sin graviditet.  Även fast graviditeten var oplanerad användes preventivmedel endast i liten utsträckning vid tiden för befruktningen. Tonårsmammans första kontakt med mödrahälsovården skedde någon gång mellan vecka 5–36. Barnmorskor i Sverige upplevde att bemötande av den gravida tonåringen var en svår balansgång. Tonårsmamman vill inte bli behandlad som en omogen person av barnmorskan utan vill ses och behandlas som den gravida kvinna hon är. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva tonåringars erfarenheter av vårdpersonalens bemötande i samband med graviditet och barnafödande. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en tvärsnittsstudie med en webbaserad enkät och med deskriptiv ansats. Resultat: Resultatet visade att den gravida tonåringen över lag var nöjd med vårdpersonalens bemötande under graviditet och barnafödande. Ungefär hälften uppgav att de blivit diskriminerade på grund av sin unga ålder. Ett tydligt samband sågs mellan en positiv förlossningsupplevelse och känslan av trygghet, stöttning, att bli lyssnad på och barnmorskans lyhördhet under förlossningen. Önskan fanns om riktade föräldragrupper till unga vuxna. Slutsats: Sammanfattningsvis visade studien att tonårsmammorna i stor utsträckning är nöjda med vården i samband med både graviditet och barnafödande. Det framkom önskemål om riktade föräldragrupper för unga vuxna. Det visade sig även finnas behov av förbättring kring vårdpersonalens kunskap om tonårsmammor, främst på BB. Mer forskning krävs för att ta reda på hur vården kan anpassas på bästa sätt för att ge bra vård till tonårsmammor. / Background: Most of teenage pregnancies were unplanned, but the teenage mothers were often positive about their pregnancy. Even though the pregnancy was unplanned, contraceptives were used only to a small extent at the time of conception. The teenage mother's first contact with maternal health care took place sometime between weeks 5–36. Midwives in Sweden experienced that treating the pregnant teenager was a difficult balancing act. The teenage mother does not want to be treated as an immature person by the midwife but wants to be seen and treated as the pregnant woman she is. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe teenagers' experiences of the care staff's care encounter in connection with pregnancy and childbirth. Method: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study with a web-based questionnaire and with a descriptive approach. Results: The results showed that the pregnant teenager was generally satisfied with the care staff's care encounter during pregnancy and childbirth. About half stated that they had been discriminated due to their young age. A clear connection was seen between a positive birth experience and the feeling of security, support, being listened to and the midwife's sensitivity during the birth. There was a desire for targeted parent groups for young adults. Conclusion: In summary, the study showed that teenage mothers are mainly satisfied with the care in connection with both pregnancy and childbirth. There were requests for targeted parent groups for young adults. It also turned out that there was a need for improvement in the care staff's knowledge of teenage mothers, mainly at postpartum ward. More research is needed to find out how care can adapt in the best way to provide good care for teenage mothers.
