Children and adolescents, due to their greater vulnerability and dependence, are frequently victims of abusive acts. Among the educational practices that parents most commonly use, we find corporal punishment. There have been no epidemiological studies identified in Brazil about domestic violence against handicapped children and adolescents, but it seems reasonable to suppose that the numbers in this vulnerable group are also high. The objectives of this study are: (1) to determine the frequency of physical punishment in physically and sensorially handicapped children and adolescents in a low-income urban community in the metropolitan region of São Paulo; (2) to describe the type of punishment suffered by these children and adolescents in the domestic environment, according to the type of handicap; and (3) to compare the physical punishment of children and adolescents having physical, sensorial and no handicaps. Methods: transversal study with a populational sample in a low-income neighborhood in the city of Embu, São Paulo. The sample included 811 children and adolescents aged from 0 to 17 years. The instruments used were the CORE questionnaire to evaluate domestic violence and the Questionnaire of the Brazilian Association of Research Enterprises (BARE) to determine economic classes. Being that the data in this study are part of the Brazilian Study of Domestic Violence (Estudo Brasileiro de Violência Doméstica (BrazilSAFE), the definitions of severe and non-severe physical punishment are based therein. Results: In this sample, 47 children/adolescents (5,8%) presented some type of physical and/or sensorial handicap according to information given by the mothers. Of the total sample number, high indices of non-severe punishment (67.6%) and severe punishment (19.6%) were identified, as was found in the handicapped sub-sample: (61.7%) of non-severe physical punishment and severe punishment (10.6%) during the last twelve months. In non-severe punishment slapping of the buttocks was prominent, while in severe punishment, slapping the buttocks with objects, such as a pole, a broom, a wooden stick or a belt were more prominent. We also verified that sensorially handicapped children and adolescents have a greater chance of suffering non-severe physical punishment than do those that are physically handicapped (OR: 5,0; IC 1,2-20,4. p 0,03). Conclusion: Due to the high rate of punishments encountered, it would extremely important that systems be implemented to prevent the violence practiced against handicapped children and adolescents. Entities to protect the child and adolescents as well as support services for the family, with special attention to those who are sensorially handicapped, or, if you will, those who are less visible, can contribute to a better assistance prevetting the aggravation of the problems and the sprouting of new cases. / A violência pode ser considerada toda ação danosa à vida e à saúde do indivíduo. Crianças e adolescentes, por sua maior vulnerabilidade e dependência, costumam ser vítimas freqüentes de atos abusivos. Entre as práticas educativas mais comuns utilizadas pelos pais está incluída a punição corporal. Não foram identificados estudos epidemiológicos realizados no Brasil sobre violência doméstica contra crianças e adolescentes com deficiências, mas parece razoável supor que as taxas neste grupo vulnerável também sejam altas. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: (1) determinar a freqüência de punição física de crianças e adolescentes com deficiências físicas e sensoriais em comunidade urbana de baixa renda na região metropolitana de São Paulo; (2) descrever o tipo de punição sofrida por estas crianças e adolescentes no ambiente doméstico, segundo o tipo de deficiência; e (3) comparar a punição física de crianças e adolescentes com deficiências físicas, sensoriais e sem deficiências. Método: estudo de corte transversal realizado com amostra populacional de um bairro de baixa renda do município de Embu, São Paulo. A amostra foi composta por 811 crianças e adolescentes com idade entre zero e 17 anos de idade. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o CORE questionnaire para avaliar violência doméstica e o Questionário de Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Pesquisa (ABEP) para a determinação de classes econômicas. Como os dados deste estudo fazem parte do Estudo Brasileiro de Violência Doméstica (BrazilSAFE), as definições de punição física grave e não grave foram baseadas neste. Resultados: Nesta amostra, 47 crianças/adolescentes (5,8%) apresentavam algum tipo de deficiência física e/ou sensorial segundo informação das mães. Identificaram-se altos índices de punição física não grave (67,6%) e grave (19,6%) na amostra total, assim como na subamostra de deficientes: 61,7% de punição física não grave e 10,6% de punição física grave nos últimos doze meses. Na punição física não grave as palmadas nas nádegas apresentaram-se em evidência, já na punição física grave, bater nas nádegas com objetos como vara, vassoura, pedaço de pau ou cinto se destacou. Verificou-se ainda que as crianças e adolescentes com deficiência sensorial apresentaram maior chance de sofrer punição física não grave que os deficientes físicos (OR: 5,0; IC 1,2-20,4. p 0,03). Conclusão: Devido às altas taxas de punições encontradas, seria de extrema importância a implementação de sistemas de prevenção da violência praticada contra as crianças e adolescentes com deficiência. Entidades de proteção à criança/adolescente e serviços de apoio a famílias, com atenção especial àqueles que possuem deficiência sensorial, ou seja, menos visíveis, podem vir a contribuir para melhor assistência evitando o agravamento dos problemas e o surgimento de novos casos.

Em cumprimento da Lei 9.394/06, que dita as diretrizes curriculares para cursos de educação superior, determina que as faculdades, inclusive a de Odontologia têm liberdade para programar as disciplinas que se farão presentes ou não em suas grades curriculares. O Conselho Federal de Odontologia na publicação a Resolução 22/2002; decretou a inserção de cinco novas especialidades, dentre elas Odontologia para Pacientes Portadores de Necessidades Especiais. Nesta pesquisa foram analisadas as respostas de um questionário enviado às 175 Faculdades de Odontologia do Brasil em 2005, contendo perguntas relativas a disciplina de Pacientes Portadores de Necessidades Especiais. Responderam ao questionamento 55 (31,43%), das quais 31 (56,36%) afirmaram ter o conteúdo de Pacientes Portadores de Necessidades Especiais em seus programas para graduação. Do universo de 31 faculdades foram encontradas 18 diferentes formas para a nomenclatura adotada na disciplina, sendo as mais freqüentes, Pacientes Especiais (06) e Odontologia para Pacientes Especiais (05). Quanto à vinculação da disciplina, quando existente, em 22 (70,97%) apresentam a modalidade obrigatória e 9 (29,03%) a modalidade optativa. O número de alunos em média que cursam a disciplina, é de: quando obrigatória 46 alunos; quando optativa 22 alunos. O formato da disciplina na maioria das faculdades é semestral sendo que sua localização temporal na grade curricular apresenta maior concentração entre o oitavo e décimo semestre. Os créditos atribuídos à disciplina variam entre 2,1 e 12 créditos (1 crédito = 15 horas/aula). A disciplina é independente em 26 (83,87%) e atuam conexas a outras disciplinas em 4 (12,9%) instituições. Todas as faculdades ministram a disciplina na forma teórica/clínica com exceção de 2 (6,45%) que apresentam o conteúdo de forma teórica. O número máximo de atendimento/clínico/ano é de 2.500 e o mínimo é de 24, havendo algumas variáveis O atendimento clínico é feito por duplas de alunos em 24 (82,76%), individual em 3 (10,34%). Das vinte e quatro faculdades que não abordam o conteúdo de Pacientes Portadores de Necessidades Especiais, 6 (25%) declaram existir serviço anexo para o atendimento destes indivíduos. Quando da não existência de disciplina nem de serviço anexo à faculdade a maioria das instituições encaminham o paciente para o Serviço Público. Em 5 (9,09%) faculdades afirmaram possuir programas de extensão. Após grande reflexão, observou-se a necessidade de uma maior atenção das faculdades com a questão dos ensinamentos acerca Pacientes Portadores de Necessidades Especiais uma vez que a revisão de literatura afirma haver maior disposição e segurança do dentista em atender esta população quando já tenham vivenciado esta realidade na graduação. / In compliance with Law 9.394/06 that establishes the curricular parameters for graduate education, Dentistry colleges may include at their own discretion the disciplines that will be integral to their programs. In its 22/2002 Resolution, the Federal Dentistry Council has determined the inclusion of five new specialization areas among them, Dentistry for the Handicapped. In this research we have analyzed the answers to a survey sent in 2005 to the 175 Brazilian Dentistry Colleges with questions concerning the disciplines related to the Handicapped. Fifty-five institutions (31,43%) replied and 31 (56,36%) confirmed that classes concerning the Handicapped are present in their graduate programs. In this universe of 31 colleges we found 18 different names used for the disciplines, while the most frequent were: Pacientes Especiais (06) and Odontologia para Pacientes Especiais (05). As to being mandatory, 22 (70,97%) established it as a prerequisite for graduation and 9 (29,03%) as an optional credit. The students attending such classes in average numbers are: 46 when mandatory and 22 when optional. In most colleges it is a semester discipline highly concentrated between the eighth and the tenth semesters. The credits attributed to discipline vary between 2.1 and 12 credits. The discipline is independent in 26 colleges (83,87%) and connected to other disciplines in 4 (12,9%). All colleges teach the discipline it theoretical and clinical classes except two (6,45%) that have only theoretical classes. The maximum number of clinical procedures is 2500 and the minimum number is 24, while there are some variables. The clinical attendance is by pairs of students in 24 (82,76%) and individual in 3 (10,34%). Of the twenty-four colleges that do not have Handicappedoriented disciplines, 6 (25%) declared that they do have a complementary service that attends such individuals. Where there is neither the discipline nor the complementary service, most institutions refer the patients to the Public Clinics. Five (9,09%) Colleges informed that they have Handicapped-oriented extension programs. We have verified that the Universities should pay more attention to the aspect of teaching about the Handicapped, as textbook information says that a dentist will be more willing and self-assured in treating such patients if he/she has already been through such experience in graduate school.

Magister Scientiae (Physiotherapy) - MSc(Physio) / HIV and AIDS are now being considered as a chronic disease. As people live longer the possibility of physical disability increases. This study aimed to investigate the nature of physical disability among HIV/AIDS adults cared for by the Makeni home-based carers in Lusaka, Zambia. Disability was measured based on the World Health Organisation International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. This study demonstrated that mostly mild impairments and mild to moderate activity limitations and participation restrictions exists among patients in the Makeni home-based care programme. This study concluded that physiotherapists and other health professionals will have to be more involved in the community home-based programs that are suited for people living with HIV/AIDS so that they are also provided with clinical assessments and rehabilitation services. / South Africa

This study, therefore, aimed at establishing the degree of physical inactivity among high school adolescents with physical disabilities in Kenya. / South Africa

This thesis is a study of the treatment of mental disability in Canadian literature. Literature reflects the perceptions and practises of the culture of which it is a part. Radical changes have been made in recent years in the thinking about persons with mental handicaps. The issue of whether the changes are reflected in literature prompted the writing of this thesis. Little is known about characters labelled as mentally disabled in non-didactic, Canadian Literature. They are not commonly discussed in the academic journals of Canadian Literature and Education. The purpose of this thesis was to get to know ten of the above characters. The following questions were drawn from issues in the academic literature regarding mental disability. All seven questions were applied to each character in turn. (1) Label? (2) Personal relationships? (3) Thoughts and feelings? (4) Choices? (5) Daily activity? (6) Relationship with service providers? (7) Personal assets and abilities? Short story characters: Benny Parry, "The Time of Death," Munro, 1968; Dolores Boyle, "Dance of the Happy Shades," Munro, 1968; Kelvin, "Circle of Prayer," Munro, 1986; Neddy Baker, "Hello Cheeverland, Goodbye," Findley, 1984; Stella Bragg, "Bragg and Minna," Findley, 1988. Characters from novels: Francis Cornish, "What's Bred in the Bone," Davies, 1985; John-Gustav Skandl, "What the Crow Said," Kroetsch, 1978; Lotte, "Not Wanted on the Voyage," Findley, 1984; Rowena Ross, "The Wars," Findley, 1977; Tehmul Lungraa, "Such a Long Journey," Mistry, 1991. Findings indicated that Canadian literature is not yet reflecting the new movement to develop full personhood. Most characters were limited in the choices they made. A variety of labels were used. Little was said about what the characters think or feel. No characters were married, had children, or a job. Most of the characters had a personal relationship with another character. / Education, Faculty of / Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of / Graduate
