ESTUDO SOBRE A SAÚDE DE CRIANÇAS USUÁRIAS DE UM SERVIÇO DE SAÚDE MENTAL INFANTIL: A HISTÓRIA DE CHAPEUZINHO AMARELO

Lena, Marisangela Spolaôr 14 March 2012 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Little Yellow Riding Hood, character in the book of the same name by Chico Buarque, tells the story of the girl who, from their physical and psychological apparatuses, managed to turn the "LO-BO" (wolf in portuguese), of whom she had much fear, in BO-LO (cake in portuguese). In this direction, it is thought that, by knowing the health of children and these 'apparatuses', one can think of better interventions for their welfare. The health of the child, both physical and mental, has been a topic of significant importance in worldwide research, as it is known that a healthy child is more likely to become a healthy adult. This work is linked to a larger project, which aims to apply an intervention in terms of a therapeutic environment in a children s CAPS (Psychosocial Care Center) of Santa Maria-RS (PROCONVIVE, announcement PPSUS/FAPERGS 002/2009 n° of process 0900982). Meanwhile, it was detected the need for an evaluation of data about the children's health, since this may not be always provided to them by the service. This assessment was aimed at knowing the health situation of the children through general health data, evaluation of stress - physical, psychological, psychological with depressive components and psycho-physiological, beyond the data on their emotional functioning. For this, we used a general data questionnaire, the Child Stress Scale (ESI) and the Test of Fables. The evaluation was made in 31 children attending the service, with ages between 4 and 12 years. This study was characterized a descriptive and correlational. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The calculations were performed using SPSS 13.0. The sample comprised 32.2% of girls (N = 10) and 66.7% of boys (N = 21), with a mean age of 9.39 years. Among the findings, stands out the fact that 80.6% of the children are using at least one medication, being, in its majority, psychiatric medication. Moreover, it is emphasized the fact that 63.2% of the children showed symptoms of stress, and most of them were in alert phase. Of these, 73.7% presented psychological stress with depressive component. Noteworthy is also the fact that 41.6% of the boys exhibit stress, while this data for girls is 85.8%. In regard to emotional functioning, the children showed, in most cases, less primitive defenses and the content of fables used, proved to be adapted. It stands out, in this way, the importance of evaluations of differential diagnosis and assessment of protective factors in considering health promotion and prevention for these children. / Chapeuzinho Amarelo, personagem do livro de mesmo nome de Chico Buarque, conta a história da menina que, a partir dos seus aparatos físicos e psíquicos, conseguiu transformar o LO-BO, do qual sentia muito medo, em BO-LO. Neste sentido, pensa-se que, ao se conhecer a saúde das crianças e estes aparatos , pode-se pensar em melhores intervenções para o seu bem-estar. A saúde da criança, tanto física quanto psíquica, tem sido um tema de relevante importância em pesquisas no mundo todo, visto que uma criança saudável tem maiores chances de vir a ser um adulto saudável. O presente trabalho está vinculado a um projeto maior, que visa aplicar uma intervenção em termos de ambiente terapêutico no CAPS Infantil de Santa Maria, RS (PROCONVIVE, edital PPSUS/FAPERGS 002/2009 n° de processo 0900982). Nesse ínterim, foi detectada a necessidade de uma avaliação de dados de saúde das crianças visto que nem sempre isso pode ser proporcionado a elas pelo serviço. Esta avaliação teve como objetivo principal conhecer a situação da saúde das crianças através de dados gerais de saúde, de avaliação de estresse físico, psicológico, psicológico com componente depressivo e psicofisiológico, além de dados sobre o funcionamento emocional destas. Para isso, foi utilizado um questionário de dados gerais, a Escala de Stress Infantil (ESI) e o Teste das Fábulas. Foram avaliadas 31 crianças usuárias do serviço com idades entre 4 e 12 anos. Este estudo caracterizou-se por ser transversal e descritivo. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva e inferencial. Os cálculos foram realizados através de pacote estatístico SPSS 13.0. A amostra foi composta por 32.2% de meninas (N = 10) e 66.7% de meninos (N = 21) com média de idade de 9.39 anos. Dentre os achados, destaca-se o fato de 80.6% das crianças estarem utilizando pelo menos uma medicação sendo a maioria psiquiátrica. Além disso, sublinha-se o fato de 63.2% das crianças apresentarem sintomas de estresse, sendo que a maioria se encontra na fase de alerta. Destes, 73.7% apresentou estresse psicológico com componente depressivo. Chama atenção também o fato de 41.6% dos meninos apresentarem estresse enquanto que este dado para as meninas é de 85.8%. No que diz respeito ao funcionamento emocional, as crianças apresentaram, em sua maioria, defesas menos primitivas e o conteúdo das fábulas utilizadas mostrou-se adaptado. Destaca-se, desta forma, a importância de avaliações de diagnóstico diferencial e de fatores protetivos pensando em promoção e prevenção de saúde para estas crianças.

Zhodnocení současné situace dětí a mládeže romského původu v dětských domovech z hlediska lokality. / Evaluation of the Current Situation of Children and Young People of Romany Origin in Children{\crq}s Homes with regard to the Location.

KOUSALOVÁ, Hana January 2009 (has links)
The degree work titled ``Evaluation of the Current Situation of Children and Young People of Romany Origin in Children{\crq}s Homes with regard to the Location`` required processing of theoretical knowledge regarding the issue of children{\crq}s homes and children{\crq}s homes with a school specialized in the Romany ethnic group, and carrying out qualitative research. The theoretical portion is based on specialized literature and other sources of information. The first chapter focuses on the characteristics of childhood and adolescence and also includes some thoughts about mental deprivation. The second chapter comprises information about the Romany minority, namely Romany families, identity issues and the related concept of romipen (the Romanism). It also describes specific features of children of Romany origin and education issues of Romany people. The last section of the second chapter mentions the topical problem of social exclusion of Romany people and the current possibilities of social inclusion of this minority. The third chapter focuses on the system of institutional care in the Czech Republic, specifically children{\crq}s homes and children{\crq}s homes with schools. The fourth chapter describes behaviour disorders. The last, fifth, chapter focuses on the issue of further care for children and young people who leave schools and institutional care facilities. The objective of the work was to capture and describe the reasons why Romany children and young people are placed in children{\crq}s homes and children{\crq}s homes with schools in selected regions (Cheb and České Budějovice) and to map the thoughts and ideas of Romany children and youngsters living in such facilities regarding their current situation and their future life after leaving the institution where they are now. The practical section contains interpretation of data from the qualitative research performed in the target group by means of interviewing (the technique of semi-structured interview) and observing; as regards the supplementary target group the method of questioning (the technique of a questionnaire) was applied. A total of 20 people participated in the research out of whom the basic target group comprised 10 Romany children living in the Children{\crq}s home in Aš and in the Children{\crq}s home with a school in Šindlovy Dvory; the supplementary group comprised 10 people from the staff of the identified facilities. The research showed that the number of children in the children{\crq}s home and the children{\crq}s home with a school does not correspond with the total number of Romany people living in the region, but with its social and economic situation. The prevailing reasons for placing Romany children in such facilities include problems at school, problems in the family and behaviour problems (stealing, drug addiction). The Romany children living in such facilities think that after they leave they will join their families and start working, some of them want to study first. 70% of the interviewed children said that they have an idea how to look for a job. However, the children{\crq}s ideas do not correspond with opinions of the staff who consider the return of these children to their original family environment and unemployment to be the greatest obstacles for independent life of Romany children after their departure from children{\crq}s homes or children{\crq}s homes with a school.

Nem só bem-feitas, nem tão melodramáticas: \'The Children\'s Hour\' e \'The Little Foxes\', de Lillian Hellman / Neither only well-made nor so melodramatic: \'The Children\' s Hour\' and \'The Little Foxes\' by Lillian Hellman

Fúlvio Torres Flores 25 March 2008 (has links)
A proposta dessa dissertação é analisar as peças The Children´s Hour e The Little Foxes, de Lillian Hellman, pela primeira vez encenadas nos Estados Unidos em 1934 e 1939 respectivamente. A análise discute a forma da peça bem feita e a forma do melodrama nessas obras, assim como o conteúdo delas, a fim de identificar como a crítica social e as formas teatrais propostas pela dramaturga estão intrincadas. Com base em autores como Peter Szondi, essencial para se entender a dialética entre forma e conteúdo, Jean Marie Thomasseau, teórico do melodrama, e de outros que escreveram sobre a peça bem feita, procurou-se entender como Hellman valeu-se das próprias formas correntes da cultura dominante e da indústria cultural para investigar a sociedade capitalista norte-americana. Para a compreensão ampla de tais questões, foram analisados os textos dramatúrgicos, encenações, adaptações para cinema e televisão, tanto nos Estados como no Brasil. Hellman foi constantemente criticada pelas opções formais de suas obras, algo que é revelado pela fortuna crítica mais relevante que foi coletada e é apresentada nessa dissertação, servindo de suplemento para as análises. Lillian Hellman examinou o conservadorismo arbitrário e as estratégias de manutenção do capitalismo criticando a classe dominante através da utilização das formas teatrais privilegiadas por essa classe. / This work aims to analyze Lillian Hellman\'s plays The Children´s Hour and The Little Foxes, which were first performed in the United States in 1934 and 1939 respectively. In addition to the content of these works, the analysis discusses the well-made play and the melodrama in order to identify how social criticism and these theater forms are interrelated, as proposed by her. Based on authors such as Peter Szondi, whose work is fundamental to understanding the dialectics between form and content, and Jean-Marie Thomasseau, a melodrama theorist, as well as others who wrote about the well-made play, this dissertation searches for a comprehension of how the playwright made use of the dominant culture\'s own forms to investigate North-American capitalist society. For a comprehensive understanding of such issues, the dramaturgical texts, performances, as well as film and television adaptations in both the United States and Brazil have been analyzed. Hellman was constantly criticized for the formal choices of her plays, something revealed in articles and essays by relevant critics. These criticisms are presented in this dissertation in order to supplement the analysis. Lillian Hellman criticized the dominant class\' arbitrary conservatism and the strategies of capitalist maintenance by employing theater forms which were endowed by that class.

No. of bitstreams: 1 venisevieiramendesdoutorado.pdf: 3317868 bytes, checksum: db5b5c96272c5cdc8d27d69ab91042e3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-12-07 / PROQUALI (UFJF) / O presente trabalho tem como objeto de estudo as duas únicas traduções brasileiras do livro Le petit Nicolas, de Sempé e Goscinny (1960), e seu objetivo principal é a determinação do escopo dessas traduções e das características do público-alvo de cada uma delas por meio da apuração de seus encargos tradutórios. Como pressupostos teóricos que orientam esta pesquisa, destacam-se a Abordagem Funcionalista da Tradução, na ótica de Christiane Nord (1997, 2000, 2005, 2006, 2008), os estudos dedicados à Literatura Infantojuvenil (COELHO, 1980, 1991, 1993; HUNT, 2010) e à sua tradução (AZENHA JUNIOR, 1991, 1996, 2005, 2005, 2008, 2012). Aborda-se, também, o discurso de teóricos voltados para o estudo da Historiografia, com ênfase na historiografia da tradução. A análise dos dados baseou-se em três corpora: o primeiro corpus é constituído pelo livro original Le petit Nicolas, publicado pela Editora Denoël, cuja edição aqui consultada é de 1999; o segundo é a tradução de Marcelo Corção, de 1975, publicado pela Editora Artenova e o terceiro, a tradução da Martins Fontes Editora, de 1997, assinada por Luis Lorenzo Rivera; ambas as traduções levam o nome O Pequeno Nicolau. A análise dos dados aponta para a diferença de concepção sobre o fazer tradutório na qual a tradução operada pela Editora Artenova busca um resultado final que elimina a presença do estrangeiro no texto, enquanto a tradução feita pela Editora Martins Fontes resguarda, investe e insiste na presença da cultura estrangeira. / The aim of this work is to study the only two Brazilian versions of the book Le petit Nicolas, written by Sempé and Goscinny (1960). The main purpose is to define the scope of these translations and the target audience characteristics of each of those versions by analysing their translation-briefs. As theoretical assumptions that guide this research, stand out the Translation Functionalist Approach, in the view of Christiane Nord (1997, 2000, 2005, 2006, 2008), some studies dedicated to children and youth literature (Coelho, 1980, 1991, 1993; HUNT, 2010) and its translation (AZENHA JUNIOR, 1991, 1996, 2005, 2005, 2008, 2012).This work also focuses on theoretical discourse of the study of translation historiography. The data analysis was based on three corpora: the first corpus consists on the original book Le petit Nicolas, published by Denoël, whose edition consulted is from 1999; the second is the translation of Marcelo Corção, 1975, published by Artenova. The third was the translation of Martins Fontes Publisher, 1997, signed by Luis Lorenzo Rivera. Both translations are named O pequeno Nicolau. Data analysis highlights the different conceptions of translation work between the two publishers. While Artenova seeks a final result that eliminates the foreign presence in the text, Martins Fontes protects sources, invests and insists on the presence of the foreign culture.

Barn som barn : Hur ser förskollärare på begreppet barn i behov av stöd

Moegreen, Linn, Langsbo, Hanna January 2020 (has links)
Syftet med vår undersökning var att ta reda på hur ett antal förskollärare såg på uttrycket barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Vi ville också veta hur verksamheten i förskolan möter barns rätt till lärande. För att kunna fokusera på att beskriva vad förskollärarna tänkte kring vårt syfte och de frågor vi ställde i arbetet använde vi oss av en kvalitativ metod. Vi beskrev det respondenterna sa att de upplevde i förskolans verksamhet. Av resultatet framgick att barn delades upp i två kategorier som var barn i behov av stöd och barn i behov av särskilt stöd. Vi såg också att en grupp respondenter såg barn i behov av särskilt stöd och barn i behov av stöd som ett gemensamt begrepp. Många av respondenterna upplevde att de behövde mer kunskap för att kunna tillgodose de behov som barnen i behov av stöd och särskilt stöd hade. Samtidigt såg vi att erfarenhet var en stor del i arbetet med barn i behov av stöd eller särskilt stöd. Relationer och lek var två viktiga delar i verksamheten, oavsett vilket behov barnen hade. I slutsatsen kom vi fram till vilken betydelse en diagnos kunde ha och hur viktigt det ibland blev att kategorisera barn i förskolan. Vi såg att alla barn skulle få den hjälp de behövde utifrån sina enskilda behov. Risken med en diagnos kunde vara att barn som hade ett behov av stöd som inte var så omfattande blev missat om det inte fick en diagnos, det hamnade i en gråzon där det blev svårt att upptäcka dess problem.

Barn som upplever våld i nära relationer : En litteraturöversikt med fokus på konsekvenser / Children who experience violence in a close relationship : A literature review with a focus on consequences

Delin, Jennie, Ohlsson, Jessica January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Trots att barn har ett skyddsnät i form av lagar och riktlinjer har vart tionde barn iSverige någon gång upplevt våld i nära relation. Våldet kan ta sig i uttryck på olika sätt, till exempel fysiskt, psykiskt eller sexuellt. Barns utsatthet påverkades av flera olika faktorer blandannat personliga egenskaper, kultur och normer. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att utforska vilka konsekvenser som kan drabba barn som upplever våld inära relation, ur barnens perspektiv.  Metod: Metoden som tillämpades var en litteraturöversikt. Efter systematiska litteratursökningar inkluderades sju vetenskapliga artiklar i studien. Artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades, analyserades ochsammanställdes i kategorier. Resultat: Resultatet presenterades i två kategorier följt av fem subkategorier. I resultatetframgick det hur barn tänker, känner och agerar i våldsamma situationer. Det framgick även vilka konsekvenser våldet kunde föra med sig över tid. Konklusion: Barn uppgav att de vid den omedelbara våldssituationen att de hade flera olika tankar, känslor och beteenden. De kunde känna sig rädda, ledsna och arga. Våldet visade sig även föra med sig andra konsekvenser som utvecklades över tid till exempel emotionell och beteendemässig problematik, samt sämre prestation i skolan. De utvecklade även överlevnadsstrategier. / Background: Even though children have a safety net in the form of laws and regulations, every tenth child in Sweden has at some point experienced intimate partner violence. The violence can manifest itself in various ways, for example physically, mentally, or sexually. Children's vulnerability is affected by several different factors, including personal characteristics, culture,and norms. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the consequences that can affect children who experience intimate partner violence, from the children's perspective. Method: The method used was a literature review. After several systematic literature searches, seven scientific articles were included in the study. The articles were quality reviewed, analyzedand compiled into categories. Results: The results were presented in two categories followed by five subcategories. The results showed how children think, feel and act in violent situations. It was also clear what consequencesviolence could bring over time. Conclusion: Children stated that in the immediate situation of violence they had several different thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They felt scared, sad and angry. The violence also turned out tohave other consequences that developed over time, such as emotional and behavioral problems aswell as poorer performance in school. They also developed survival strategies.

Förutsättningar för barnets delaktighet i barnavårdsutredningar : En litteraturstudie

Lennholm, Emma January 2023 (has links)
2020 blev Barnkonventionen lag i Sverige och Sverige hade redan under många år strävat efter att följa de riktlinjer som Barnkonventionen ger. Trots de ambitioner som formulerats ovan så visar uppföljningar att barn generellt inte görs tillräckligt delaktiga i socialtjänstens beslutsprocesser. Studier gällande hur barn med funktionsnedsättningar görs delaktiga i socialtjänstens utredningar visar att socialsekreterare ofta saknar kompetens att tala med dessa barn på deras nivå och träffar barnen för sällan. Utifrån detta kan identifieras ett problemområde gällande hur barn ska göras mer delaktiga i barnavårdsutredningar och de förutsättningar och arbetssätt som behövs för att göra detta möjligt. Syftet med denna studie har varit att öka kunskapen kring förutsättningar och arbetssätt som kan möjliggöra barnets ökade delaktighet i samband med socialtjänstens beslutsprocesser. Frågeställningarna är vilka olika förutsättningar och arbetssätt krävs för att socialsekreterare inom barnavårdsutredningar ska kunna skapa möjligheter för barnets delaktighet i beslutsprocessen samt vilka gynnande respektive hindrande faktorer som påverkar barnets delaktighet. Studien är grundad på en granskning av 14 vetenskapliga artiklar genererade vid sökning i PsycInfo, Universitetsbibliotekets databas samt vid sekundärsökning. Dessa analyserades med en metaanalytisk ansats.  Resultat: Den finns flera olika faktorer på individ-, organisations- och strukturell nivå som kan verka gynnande eller hämmande på barnets delaktighet. På individnivå kan identifieras faktorer som professionellas inställning till delaktighet, socialsekreterarens roll och personliga egenskaper, kunskap om olika samtalstekniker och barnets närvaro på möten. På organisationsnivå kan identifieras förutsättningar för förberedelse och reflektion samt anpassad miljö och tillgängligt material. På den strukturella nivån kan identifieras att större förändringar gällande innehållet i socialsekreterarens utbildning samt lagförändringar kring barnombud skulle kunna haft en gynnsam effekt. Slutsatsen är att för att stärka gynnande faktorer och minska hindrande faktorer gällande barns delaktighet i barnavårdsutredningar krävs dialog och samverkan inom arbetsgruppen. Det finns en vikt i att tillsammans definiera begreppet delaktighet och tydliggöra målsättningen för att sedan genom kollegialt lärande utnyttja varandras kunskaper och erfarenheter för att skapa goga möjlighet för samtal med de barn socialsekreterarna möter. / In 2020, the Convention on the Rights of the Child became law in Sweden, and Sweden had already strived for years to follow the guidelines provided by the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Despite the ambitions formulated above, follow-ups show that children are generally not made sufficiently involved in the social services´ decision-making processes. Studies regarding how children with disabilities are included in the social services´ investigations show that social workers often lack the competence to speak with these children at their level and meet the children too rarely. Based on this, a problem area can be identified regarding how children should be made more involved in child welfare investigations and the conditions and working methods needed to make those possible.  The purpose of this study has been to increase knowledge about the conditions and working methods that can enable the child´s increased participation in connection with the social service´s decision-making processes. The questions are what different conditions and working methods are required for social workers within child welfare investigations to be able to create opportunities for the child´s participation in de decision-making process and witch favourable and hindering factors affect the child´s participation. The study is based om a review of 14 scientific articles generated by searches in PsycInfo, the University Library’s database and secondary searches. These were analysed using a meta-analytic approach.  Results: There are several different factors at the individual, organizational and structural level that can have a beneficial or inhibiting effect on the child´s participation. At the individual level, factors such as the professional´s attitude to participation, the social worker´s role and personal characteristics, knowledge of different conversation techniques and the child´s presence at meetings can be identified. At organizational level, prerequisites for preparation and refection, as well as an adapted environment and available material, can be identified. At the structural level, it can be identified that major changes regarding the content of the social secretary´s training as well as changes in the law regarding children´s representatives could have a beneficial effect.  The conclusion is that in order to strengthen favourable factors and reduce hindering factors regarding children´s participation in childcare investigations, dialogue and collaboration within the working group is required. There is an importance in jointly defining the concept of participation and clarifying the objective in order to then use each other´s knowledge and experience through collegial learning to create good opportunities for conversations with the children the social workers meet.

Från barnamörderska till omtyckt kejsarinna : En analys om Wu Zetian i media riktad till barn / From child murderer to beloved empress : Analysis of Wu Zetian in media aimed at children

Brohlén, Hannah January 2023 (has links)
This thesis investigates and analyzes how Wu Zetian is portrayed in media directed at children. This thesis also plan to investigate how the portrayal of Wu Zetian in children´s media relates to academic literature. The main questions this thesis answered were the following: How is Wu Zetian portrayed in the source material? What qualities are attributed to Wu Zetian? Does the presentation of Wu Zetian in children´s media differ from the academic literature written by historians? If so, how?    The theories that this thesis was based on were the concepts that Bickford III and Rich presented in their study Examining the Representation of Slavery within Children´s Literature. These concepts were presentism, omission, chronological ethnocentrism, exceptionalism, heroification, and villainification. The second theory was gender theory. This theory was used as a theoretical interpretive framework for this thesis. The methods used were text analysis, close reading, and the theoretical concepts formulated by Bickford III and Rich.   The study concluded that Wu Zetian was mainly described in a glorifying light. The main attributes of Wu Zetian are positive, such as intelligence and beauty. The negative qualities attributed to Wu Zetian are that she was brutal. In general, Wu Zetian is presented and described in a positive and heroic light in children´s media. The difference in the presentation of Wu Zetian in children´s media and academic literature is minimal. In general, the children´s media downplays the brutal aspects of Wu´s life, while the academic literature talks about this aspect somewhat more. The main difference is that, children´s media is more glorifying and heroizing than academic literature.
