Orientador: Regina Célia Popim / Resumo: Este estudo teve por objetivo compreender as experiências de pais e mães de crianças em tratamento quimioterápico ambulatorial. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, realizado com pais e mães de crianças em tratamento quimioterápico ambulatorial de um hospital oncológico do interior do Estado do Paraná. Participaram desse estudo quatorze pais e mães, e os dados foram coletados por meio de grupo focal no período de janeiro a fevereiro de 2018 após a aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu - Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”. Usou-se a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin como método de análise dos dados e o Modelo de Sistemas de Betty Neuman para discuti-los. Dos resultados, emergiram dois artigos científicos, um que aborda a experiência parental frente ao diagnóstico do câncer infantil e o segundo que discorre sobre a vivência de pais e mães de crianças em quimioterapia ambulatorial frente ao cuidado domiciliar. Conclui-se que, o processo do diagnóstico do câncer infantil é permeado por intenso sofrimento para os pais que se inicia com a peregrinação pelos serviços de saúde em busca da resolutividade de seu problema. Após o diagnóstico definitivo, os pais reagiram negativamente por meio de sentimentos de medo, insegurança, desesperança, desespero e luto antecipado, revelando um abalo psíquico diante da notícia. Com a confirmação da doença, surgiram os estigmas de morte e o preconceito da sociedade devi...

This is a comprehensive and qualitative study carried out with parents of children undergoing outpatient chemotherapy treatment at a specialized hospital in the interior of the State of Paraná. Data collection took place through a focus group from January to February 2018, after approval by the Ethics and Research Committee of Botucatu Medical School - Paulista State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho". The data were submitted to the content analysis proposed by Bardin and discussed according to the Betty Neuman Systems Model. As a result, the study is composed of the majority of young women, married, with full secondary education and living in cities near the place where the outpatient chemotherapy treatment of their children is done. The results point to the creation of three thematic categories: 1. Stressors: caring for the child at home after outpatient chemotherapy; 2. Interaction with the environment: coexisting with cancer and with outpatient chemotherapy; and 3. Parents' reaction: overcoming having a child with cancer and in outpatient chemotherapy. It is concluded that for parents to live with cancer, chemotherapeutic treatment and care of children at home involves suffering and uncertainties. This experience is permeated by stressors in regard to changes in family dynamics and structure, lack of ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

The purpose of this study was to describe the nutrition knowledge and child care feeding practices of Early Childhood Education students in a university setting. Thirty-three Early Childhood Education students from seven geographically diverse universities completed a web-based survey assessing nutrition knowledge and child feeding practices. A nutrition knowledge instrument was developed and validated to measure knowledge of nutrition for preschool-aged children. The Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire, which has been previously validated in parents, was slightly modified and used to assess child feeding practices. Mean scores for the nutrition knowledge and child feeding practices were determined. Multivariate analyses were conducted to determine differences in mean nutrition knowledge and feeding practices scores across sample characteristics. Early Childhood Education students were found to have more knowledge of MyPyramid food groups and dietary sources of nutrients than dietary intake recommendations for preschool-aged children. Students who had completed a college-level nutrition course scored higher on MyPyramid food groups and food sources of nutrients than those who had not, although these differences were not statistically significant. A nonsignificant trend was observed in knowledge of dietary recommendations according to practicum status. Additionally, students who had not started a practicum reported using food as a reward significantly more than students who had completed a practicum. Results suggest roles for both nutrition coursework and practicum training in optimizing nutrition knowledge and child feeding practices among future leaders in early childhood education. Further research is needed to more clearly identify nutrition knowledge and child feeding practices in this population.

In dieser Arbeit wurde das Konzept der Gesundheitszirkel auf das Arbeitsfeld der Kinderbetreuung in Kindertagesstätten adaptiert und in sieben Einrichtungen mit insgesamt 73 Erzieherinnen und Leiterinnen evaluiert. Die gesamte Intervention "Gesundheitszirkel in Kindertagesstätten" bestand aus der Entwicklung eines Manuals, der Konzeption und Umsetzung einer Qualifizierungsmaßnahme für die Moderatoren der Zirkel und der von zwei Moderatorinnen realisierten fünf bis sechs Sitzungen umfassenden Gesundheitszirkel. Die betrieblichen Gesundheitszirkel wurden nach der wissenschaftlich evaluierten Basis des Düsseldorfer Modells ausgerichtet. Das Ziel dieser Studie war zu überprüfen, ob das Manual und das Qualifizierungsseminar als praxisorientierte Anleitung für die Umsetzung der Gesundheitszirkel dienen und ob sich das adaptierte Konzept für die Problemerkennung und ?bearbeitung in Kindertagesstätten eignet. Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wurde eine Struktur-, Prozess- und Ergebnisevaluation durchgeführt. Insgesamt wurden die Teilnehmerinnen viermal befragt: dreimal während der Intervention und einmal zwei Monate nach Abschluss der Zirkel. Die Moderatorinnen beurteilten die Qualifizierung und das Manual als hilfreich für die Umsetzung des Gesundheitszirkels und gestalteten die Sitzungen entsprechend den Vorgaben aus dem Leitfaden. Von der Mehrheit der Teilnehmerinnen wurde sowohl die Moderation als auch die Moderationsmethode positiv und strukturierend über die Messzeitpunkte hinweg gleich bleibend beurteilt. Den Erwartungen, dass im Gesundheitszirkel Problembereiche benannt, eigene Vorschläge geäußert und über gesundheitliche Auswirkungen der Arbeit gesprochen werden können, stimmten die Befragten in hoher Ausprägung zu. Die Beschäftigten waren mit den Rahmenbedingungen des Gesundheitszirkels während der gesamten Intervention sehr zufrieden. Die Auswertung der Intervention lässt sich in die Ergebnisse anderer Evaluationsstudien von Gesundheitszirkeln einordnen. Ebenso entsprechen die erhobenen Informationen zur Arbeitsbelastung den in der Literatur erhobenen Faktoren. Somit ist das Verfahren auch in andere Einrichtungen übertragbar und eignet sich als Verfahren betrieblicher Gesundheitsförderung in Kindertagesstätten.

This study focused on two factors, auspice and job satisfaction, which have been shown to impact on the quality of child care programs. However, while research has indicated that auspice, job satisfaction, and program quality are intertwined, there is a lack of research which explores these factors qualitatively. There is also a dearth of research which has considered auspice from the caregivers' perspectives. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore the meaning that caregivers give to auspice in their work in nonprofit and for-profit child care centers. As well, this study sought to examine the relationship between auspice and job satisfaction from the caregiver's point of view, paying close attention to differences in job satisfaction that existed between staff employed in nonprofit centers and staff who worked in private or for-profit centers. A series of qualitative, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight child care workers from the Vancouver Metropolitan area. Four of the participants were employed in or owned private centers and four of the participants worked in nonprofit centers. Positive and negative perceptions of both nonprofit and private auspice emerged. In particular, the nonprofit participants believed that child care should be operated as a service and not a business. They perceived that the motive to make a profit in child care lead for-profit centers to sacrifice quality in order to cut costs and maximize profits. On the other hand, the for- profit participants perceived that their centers provided high quality care and were dedicated to putting the needs of children and staff first. In general, the participants'' perceptions of factors that influenced their job satisfaction were similar across auspices. The nature of child care work and supportive relationships with co-workers were factors which positively influenced job satisfaction while the perceived lack of status in the eyes of society negatively affected satisfaction. Differences in job satisfaction according to auspice were found on several factors, such as government policies and a perceived lack of enough time to accomplish job duties.
