Susidomėjimas sporto psichologija Lietuvoje pastaraisiais metais auga, tačiau dauguma žmonių vis dar nesupranta, kas ištikrųjų yra sporto psichologija ir kokią reikšmę ji turi sportininkams. Todėl psichologinė pagalba yra viena iš silpniausi�� sportininkų rengimo grandžių. Treneriai nors ir skiria šiai pagalbai dėmesį, dažniausiai atlieka tai daugiau intuityviai ir svarbiausia – nesistemingai. Tuo tarpu, sportininkai tenkinasi tuo, ką jiems suteikia treneriai, o patys retai kreipiasi į sporto psichologus. Todėl labai svarbu išsiaiškinti, koks pačių sportininkų požiūris į sporto psichologiją, sporto psichologo konsultacijų naudingumą ir veiksmingumą. Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti sportuojančių studentų požiūrį į sporto psichologiją. Tyrimo objektas – sportuojančių studentų požiūris į sporto psichologiją. Taikant S. B. Martin Nuostatų į sporto psichologiją (patikslinta forma) metodiką, apklausti 126 sportininkai, dalyvavę 2006 metais Estijoje vykusiose SELL studentų žaidynėse. Iš 126 sportininkų, 24 buvo iš Suomijos, 24 iš Estijos, 38 iš Latvijos ir 40 iš Lietuvos; 83 vyrai ir 43 moterys. Siekdami įvertinti sportuojančių studentų požiūrį į sporto psichologiją, nustatėme studentų tolerantiškumo lygį sporto psichologijos atžvilgiu, pasitikėjimą sporto psichologu, asmenino atvirumo lygį ir požiūrį į kitos etninės kilmės, kultūros ar rasės žmones, ir ar šiuos kintamuosius įtakoja studentų lytis, tautiškumas, išsilavinimas, pagrindinė domėjimosi sritis, sporto šaka bei ankstesnės...

However, most people still do not understand what sports psychology is and its significance to sportsmen. Therefore, psychological support is not considered important in preparing sportsmen. Although trainers do provide the psychological support, they usually do it intuitively and irregularly. Meanwhile the sportsmen accept their trainers’ support and rarely seek for help of sports psychologists. Thus, it is important to find out an attitude of the sportsmen themselves towards sports psychology and efficiency and usefulness of consultations provided by the sports psychologist. The aim of this research is to find out the attitude of student sportsmen towards the sports psychology. The object of the research is the attitude of student sportsmen towards the sports psychology. Basing on the S. B. Martin methodology of the Provisions of Sports Psychology (the specified form) 126 sportsmen who participated in the SELL Student Games 2006 in Estonia were interviewed. 24 participants were from Finland, 24 from Estonia, 38 from Latvia and 40 from Lithuania; 83 men and 43 women.

Parenting plans are a new concept for professionals in South Africa working in the field of divorce. Emphasis has been placed on the development of parenting plans by including the concept of parenting plans in section 33 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005. Professionals are now confronted with formulating adequate parenting plans which are focussed on the best interest standard of the child(ren) and that will assist the family with its functioning post–divorce. The aim of this research was to develop substantive guidelines that can assist the professional in drafting parenting plans. To achieve this aim, the following objectives guided the study: * To provide the legal context of parenting plans in South Africa. A legal context of parenting plans in South Africa is discussed by way of a literature study through an intensive analysis and critical discussion on a number of legal instruments pertaining to children, such as the Children’s Act 38 of 2005; the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996; the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC). * To ascertain the views of mental health professionals (social workers and psychologists) and legal professionals (attorneys and family advocates) with regard to the divorcing family and parenting plans. The views of mental health professionals and legal professionals with regard to the divorcing family in respect of parenting plans were established. Professionals completed an electronic questionnaire that consisted of open questions to establish their views. Further telephonic interviews with the professionals were facilitated to gain further insight into the professional view points on the issue of divorcing families and parenting plans. * To ascertain the needs of the divorcing family (parents and child(ren)) and to present these needs in the structuring of a parenting plan. The needs of the divorcing family (parents and child(ren)) were established through an explorative approach by means of a document study and electronic questionnaires that were completed by the family members. Through this exploration the researcher obtained an understanding of the needs of the divorcing family related to parenting plans. * To provide professionals with comprehensive and clear guidelines on the basic structure and general content of a parenting plan. Comprehensive and clear guidelines on the basic structure and general content of a parenting plan were constructed for professionals working in this area, based on findings of articles 1, 2 and 3 of this research. The researcher also relied on her background and training as a qualified social worker to construct these guidelines. It was concluded that professionals are not necessarily well equipped to structure high quality parenting plans. Guidelines ought to assist the professionals to structure plans that are well organised, practical, child–centred, developmentally appropriate, and representative of the divorcing family needs. The researcher believes that as parenting plans are obligatory for parents that divorce, there is a need for South African research on this subject matter. This study is a contribution in the research field as to assist the professionals with the task of compiling parenting plans for the divorcing family. In addition this study adds value to the forensic field by setting guidelines on the structuring of parenting plans that empower the professional to work in this challenging field. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Social Work))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Facing the challenges brought by Higher Education growth, the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) created the Psychological Support Services. They seek to help the adaptation to the university setting, enhancing the overall students´ development and their integration in the labor market. This qualitative research studies the structure of the Psychological Support Services in HEIs of Portugal and the main activities developed by educational psychologists. Interviews were conducted with eight services and showed that all services are designed for students. Although the most frequent activity is the students' psychological consultation, educational psychologists also develop a variety of interventions: skill development programs, support to students with special needs, and mentoring programs to welcome new students. Traditionally the services were oriented by an individual intervention and in response to the students' problem. Nowadays they are working with other agents and in a preventive way. Actions directed to educational projects and the institutional evaluation could promote a qualitative change in services. / Con el fin de afrontar los desafíos del aumento demográfico de la educación superior, las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) crearon los Servicios de Apoyo Psicológico buscando:(a) ayudar a la adaptación a la universidad, (b) mejorar el desarrollo de los estudiantes y (c) favorecer su integración en el mercado laboral. El presente estudio investigó la estructura de los Servicios de Apoyo Psicológico en las IES de Portugal, así como las principales actividades desarrolladas por los psicólogos escolares. A partir de las entrevistas realizadasen ocho servicios de apoyo psicológico, se observó que todos ellos están diseñados para los estudiantes. Si bien la actividad principal es la consulta psicológica para los estudiantes, los psicólogos educacionales desarrollan también una variedad de actividades de intervención, tales como: programas de desarrollo de competencias, apoyo a los estudiantes con necesidades especiales y programas de tutoría para dar la bienvenida a nuevos estudiantes. Asimismo, en la actualidad los servicios están trabajando con otros agentes y de manera preventiva. Se propone que las acciones dirigidas a los proyectos educativos y la evaluación institucional podrían promover un cambio cualitativo en los servicios.

So it is considered as a theoretical reference, various official documents about the public policies for social assistance and others that provide parameters for the work of psychologists in the CREAS, as well as studies on the Clinic of the Activity without being excluded from the collaboration of other clinics such as the Psychodynamic of the Work, and also the knowledge of the Ergonomics. The investigations aims to analyze the official and/or not official documents, until then existing, that guide the actions of the psychologists in the field of welfare policies, specifically in the CREAS, and to know the actions taken by the psychologists in carrying out their work activities, by favoring the psychologists a process of interpretation of their activities and the impact of their work within the centers where they carry out their activities. For this research, methodological investigating arrangements of work situations are adopted based on the analysis of the work context of an approach of the resources of the simple autoconfrontation method and the method of the instructions for the double. The use of these resources, which is based on a study of observations and interviews with the psychologists involved in the municipality examined, was the way envisioned to account for the reality of the workplace and their professionals chosen. It is possible to understand the various dimensions that involve the activity of these professionals, and it is found that the collective of psychologists inserted in the specific CREAS is fragmented due to the difficulty of sharing experiences and implements. However, these psychologists still find, in the activities they perform, creating spaces, construction of meaning and pleasure achievements. This study has the merit to initiate a process of theoretical and empirical production of information that sought to contribute to a better understanding of the role of the psychologist in the CREAS, generating considerations that guided the maturation of the discussions on the role of a professional in a new area for the actions of Psychology. It is expected that, from here, firmer guidelines to make the psychologist may arise at this institution so as to guide the activities of professionals, their selection, evaluation of their actions and the development of skills more consistent with the reality of the work. Similarly, it is expected that new debates arise in order to make think, even of academic records of training psychology professionals, so that it can meet the demands imposed by these new workplaces for the psychologist, as well as the users of these services. / Esta dissertação procura investigar como se dá o fazer de psicólogos(as) inseridos(as) no Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social (CREAS) de um município da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza (RMF) – Ceará, a partir da percepção dos mesmos sobre seu trabalho. Para tanto, considera-se como referencial teórico, além dos diversos documentos oficiais que versam sobre as políticas públicas de Assistência Social e outros que ofereçam parâmetros para o trabalho do(a) psicólogo(a) no CREAS, os estudos sobre a Clínica da Atividade, sem ser excluída a colaboração de outras clínicas do trabalho como a Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, e também do conhecimento da Ergonomia. As investigações realizadas objetivaram analisar os documentos oficiais e/ou não oficiais até então existentes e que orientam a atuação do(a) psicólogo(a) no campo das políticas de Assistência Social, mais especificamente no CREAS, e conhecer as ações desenvolvidas pelos(as) psicólogos(as) no exercício de suas atividades de trabalho, mediante o favorecimento de um processo de interpretação dos(as) mesmos(as) sobre seu fazer e a repercussão de seu trabalho no contexto do CREAS onde exercem suas atividades. É adotado, para a pesquisa, dispositivo metodológico de investigação das situações de trabalho baseado na análise do contexto de trabalho a partir de uma aproximação dos recursos da autoconfrontação simples e do método de instruções ao sósia. A utilização desses recursos, que teve como base o levantamento de observações e de entrevistas realizadas com os(as) psicólogos(as) envolvidos no ócrea do município analisado, foi a forma vislumbrada para dar conta da realidade do local de trabalho escolhido e de seus(suas) profissionais. É possível perceber as diversas dimensões que envolvem a atividade desses(as) profissionais, e constata-se que o coletivo de psicólogos(as) inseridos no específico CREAS encontra-se fragmentado em função da dificuldade do compartilhamento de experiências e de instrumentos. No entanto, estes sujeitos ainda encontram, nas atividades que realizam, espaços de criação, de construção de sentido e de alcance de prazer. Este estudo tem como mérito iniciar um processo de reflexão teórica e produção de informação empírica que busca contribuir para uma melhor compreensão do papel do(a) psicólogo(a) no CREAS, gerando considerações que norteiam o amadurecimento das discussões sobre a atuação desse profissional num espaço relativamente novo para as ações da Psicologia. Espera-se que, a partir daqui, diretrizes mais firmes para o fazer do(a) psicólogo(a) nesta instituição possam surgir, de modo a direcionar as atividades dos profissionais, sua seleção, a avaliação de suas ações e a elaboração de capacitações mais condizentes com a realidade de trabalho. Do mesmo modo, que novos debates surjam no sentido de se pensar, inclusive, nos currículos acadêmicos de formação do(a) profissional de Psicologia, para que este(a) consiga atender às exigências cobradas por esses novos locais de trabalho para o(a) psicólogo(a), bem como as dos usuários de seus serviços.

O trabalho utilizou como referência o método de análise das Representações Sociais proposto por Moscovici (1961). O procedimento foi realizado a partir de seis (6) entrevistas semi dirigidas; objetivando conhecer as formas como o tema Saúde Mental é apreendido por profissionais ligados diretamente à Saúde Coletiva. / This research aimed to investigate social representations about Mental Health by psychologists who work in the health system in the city of Diadema-SP-Brasil. The research used as reference the concept of Social Representation advanced by Moscovici (1961). The research was made by means of six semi-structural interviews, with the objective of knowing how the concept of mental health is apprehended by professionals who are active in the Public health service.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Some studies indicate a misbalance between the practices developed by primary health care psychologists and the specific demands of this context. Those studies point out to a mere transposition of the traditional model of clinic, without the proper contextualization that this area requests, besides some difficulties in teamwork. Thus, it is understood that psychology faces a challenge in qualifying its training in order to perform accordingly to the principles of the Brazilian Health Care System (SUS). Towards this challenge, psychology has found in the Multiprofessional Residencies in Health Care an opportunity of a training, which is diverse from that offered in undergraduate courses, that aims to qualify its practices for the work in public health care. Based on that, this research aimed to acknowledge the professional practices of psychologists who are part of a Multiprofessional Residency in Health Care Program, in the context of primary health care. Therefore, it was conducted a qualitative and exploratory research. The data collection was performed with semi-structured interviews. After the transcription of the interviews, data analysis followed the content analysis technique. The participants were eight psychology residents in the programs of Multiprofessional Residency Programs of two higher education institutes, from the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. The results were discussed in three articles. The first article discussed the value granted to the Residency as an area of learning, which had given the psychologists the possibility of experiencing knowledge and daily situations found in SUS’ context, allowing mistakes, innovations and the construction and reformulation of ideas. There were discussed aspects related to the workload and the relationship between residents and health care team. The second article focused on the undergraduate training in psychology for working in primary health care. The results showed important movements of approximation between the psychology undergraduate courses and themes such as SUS, Community Health and Public Policies. In addition, it was pointed out to the importance of professors who are identified with the SUS’s proposals, as well as the value given to the discipline of groups as an important tool for the practice of psychologists in primary health care. The third article reported a significant change in the way that the psychology residents have conceived the psychologist’s role in primary health care. Such comprehension, not restricted to intra-individual aspects, drives to expanded and interdisciplinary practices. However, it was emphasized the charge for individual appointments and the large demand for the area of psychology. Based on the data obtained by the three articles, it was concluded that the Residency has enabled psychologists to experiment and create, which has been supporting the construction of practices more aligned to the principles of primary health care, overcoming the mere transposition of practices. / Estudos assinalam para um desequilíbrio entre as práticas desenvolvidas por psicólogos na atenção básica e as demandas específicas desse contexto. Tais estudos apontam para a simples transposição do modelo clínico tradicional sem a devida contextualização que esse cenário requer, além de dificuldades no trabalho em equipe. Assim, entende-se que a psicologia apresenta o desafio de qualificar sua formação para atuar em concordância com os princípios do SUS. Diante desse desafio, a psicologia tem encontrado nas Residências Multiprofissionais em Saúde uma oportunidade de formação diferenciada da graduação que busca qualificar sua atuação para um trabalho no sistema público. Com base nisto, o presente estudo teve por objetivo conhecer a prática profissional de psicólogos, vinculados a Programas de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde, no contexto da atenção básica. Para tanto, se realizou uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho exploratório, sendo que a coleta de dados se deu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. Após a transcrição das entrevistas, a análise dos dados seguiu a técnica de análise de conteúdo. A pesquisa contou com a participação de oito psicólogos residentes vinculados a dois Programas de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde de duas Instituições de Ensino e Pesquisa em Saúde, do município de Porto Alegre, RS. Os resultados foram apresentados em três artigos. O primeiro artigo teve como resultados a valorização da Residência como um cenário de aprendizagem, o qual possibilitou aos psicólogos experimentar conhecimentos e situações do cotidiano do SUS, permitindo erros, novas tentativas e a construção e reformulação de ideias. Foram problematizados aspectos da carga horária e a relação residente e equipe de saúde. O segundo artigo teve como foco a formação acadêmica em psicologia para um trabalho na atenção básica. Os resultados evidenciaram importantes movimentos de aproximação dos cursos de graduação em psicologia com as temáticas do SUS, Saúde Coletiva e Políticas Públicas. Do mesmo modo, apontou-se para a importância de docentes identificados com as propostas do SUS, assim como o entendimento da disciplina de grupos como um subsídio importante da atuação do psicólogo na atenção básica. O terceiro artigo apresentou uma significativa mudança no modo como os residentes da psicologia têm concebido o papel do psicólogo na atenção básica. Tal entendimento, não restrito a aspectos intra-individuais, volta-se para ações ampliadas e interdisciplinares. Porém, a cobrança por atendimentos individuais e a grande demanda para a psicologia foram destacadas como desafios presentes no desenvolvimento dessas práticas. Diante dos dados obtidos nos três artigos concluiu-se que a Residência tem possibilitado aos psicólogos espaços de experimentação e de criatividade, auxiliando na construção de práticas mais alinhadas aos pressupostos da atenção básica, superando a simples transposição de práticas.

O processo da Reforma Psiquiátrica Brasileira trouxe alterações profundas no entendimento dos transtornos mentais e nas formas de atenção às pessoas acometidas por eles e no papel social atribuído às profissões encarregadas deste cuidado. A Psicologia tem sido historicamente criticada por propiciar uma formação baseada no modelo "clínico", centrada na doença e no indivíduo, por intermédio da psicoterapia individual em consultórios. Atualmente estão sendo implantadas as Diretrizes Curriculares da Psicologia com objetivo de oferecer ao aluno uma formação básica, científica e generalista que contemple as principais abordagens formadoras do pensamento psicológico contemporâneo. Utilizamos como procedimento a análise documental de estudos de profissionais da área, pesquisas de entidades representativas da profissão, relatórios e legislação dos Ministérios da Educação e da Saúde relacionados à formação do profissional para a Saúde Mental, da trajetória da elaboração das Diretrizes e do perfil deste profissional constante nas mesmas. A análise apontou que as Diretrizes Curriculares fazem referências genéricas sobre a atuação e as habilidades do psicólogo para atuar na Saúde Mental, sendo a única referência direta de um campo de atuação o da Saúde. As Diretrizes indicam que o psicólogo tenha o entendimento do fenômeno psicológico como complexo, multideterminado e produzido socioculturalmente.
