Children of Hispanic origin have the highest prevalence of asthma of all ethnic groups in the United States, especially Puerto Rican children, who have a prevalence of 12.9%. Treatment nonadherence has been identified as one contributing factor. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the reasons for nonadherence to the asthma treatment regimen among Puerto Rican children. Parents and health care providers of asthmatic children were interviewed regarding their beliefs about asthma as a disease, its effect on the child's life, and their experience with asthma treatment. Two models served as the theoretical framework: the health belief model and the Institute of Medicine model framework for asthma disparities. Interview data were collected from 8 parents using a questionnaire, and a focus group was conducted with 3 health care professionals. Data were manually coded to identify emerging themes. Even though parents reported fear of asthma medications and medication side effects, none of the parents stopped the asthma treatment. Results also indicated that lack of education about asthma, asthma treatment, and asthma action plan was evident in 75% of the parents. None of the parents who migrated to the United States from Puerto Rico received education about asthma while living in Puerto Rico. Health care professionals reported that although parents are familiar with asthma, they do not understand that it is a chronic disease that requires daily treatment. Findings may be used to create an asthma education plan tailored to the needs of the Hispanic population.

[pt] Devido a necessidade intrínseca ao ser humano de interação social, os cuidadores precisam traçar metas para socializar seus filhos. Uma vez que compreende-se que habilidades emocionais são essenciais para inserção e interação social, dentre as metas de socialização estabelecidas pelos pais, temos as metas de socialização da emoção. Ao mesmo tempo, na teoria de Vygotsky, a arte surge como ferramenta importante para a experimentação emocional, levando a melhor compreensão das emoções e maior facilidade de expressão das mesmas. Este trabalho buscou investigar como a arte está sendo pensada e incluída por mães no contexto das crenças e metas de socialização da emoção. Participaram do estudo 20 mães moradoras do Rio de Janeiro e proximidades com pelo menos um filho de até três anos de idade. Foi aplicado o instrumento Questionário de Metas de Socialização da Emoção (QMSE) e foi realizada uma entrevista online, de roteiro semi-estruturado, com cada uma das participantes. As entrevistas foram transcritas e analisadas utilizando o Software IraMuteq. A partir das análises realizadas, foi possível perceber que no que diz respeito à arte enquanto facilitadora de processos de socialização e emocionais, todas as mães tiveram respostas afirmativas ao serem questionadas sobre a crença de correlação entre a arte e o impacto no desenvolvimento global de seus filhos; o impacto em processos emocionais de seus filhos, incluindo ensinar e compreender sobre emoções; o impacto em processos de socialização de seus filhos. Além disso, segundo relato das mesmas, a arte tem potencial para afetar na criatividade e autoestima de seus filhos, além de promover estimulação corporal e novas possibilidades de campos de trabalho no futuro, pode ser mobilizadora de questões referentes à comunicação com seus filhos e mediadora para traduzir acontecimentos. Acredita-se que o presente trabalho pode contribuir para a compreensão de temas relevantes referentes à parentalidade, tão preciosa para a Psicologia do Desenvolvimento e para a área das artes, principalmente as dirigidas ao público infantil. / [en] Due to the intrinsic human need for social interaction, caregivers need to set goals to socialize their children. Since it is understood that emotional abilities are essential for insertion and social interaction, among the socialization goals established by parents, the goals of socialization of emotion emerge. At the same time, in Vygotsky s theory, art emerges as an important tool for emotional experimentation, leading to a better understanding of emotions and ease in expressing them. This work sought to investigate how art is being thought of and included by mothers in the context of beliefs and goals of emotional socialization. Participated in this study 20 mothers living in Rio de Janeiro and nearby with at least one child up to three years old. The Emotion Socialization Goals Questionnaire (QMSE) instrument was applied and an online semi-structured interview was conducted with each of the participants. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the IraMuteq Software. From the analysis carried out, it was possible to perceive that with regard to art as a facilitator of socialization and emotional processes, all mothers had affirmative answers when asked about the belief in the correlation between art and the impact on the global development of their children; the impact on their children s emotional processes, including teaching and understanding about emotions; the impact on their children s socialization processes. In addition, according to their reports, art has the potential to affect their children s creativity and self-esteem, in addition to promoting bodily stimulation and new possibilities for future work fields, it can mobilize issues related to communication with their children and mediate to translate events. It is believed that the present work can contribute to the understanding of relevant themes related to parenting, which is so precious for Developmental Psychology and for the arts, especially those aimed at children.

[pt] Orientadas por modelos culturais, as crenças parentais funcionam como importantes organizadores para o repertório de práticas utilizado por pais na interação com seus filhos. No que diz respeito às emoções, estudos apontam o quanto tais crenças e práticas podem impactar o desenvolvimento socioemocional infantil. Além disso, pesquisas sugerem que um ambiente físico e social favorável desempenha papel fundamental em relação a esse desenvolvimento. Nesse sentido, contextos vulnerabilizados pela violência podem influenciar modelos culturais, o que pode repercurtir nas crenças parentais e nas competências emocionais infantis. Considerando o contexto da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, registros do Instituto de Segurança Pública apontam o quanto os índices de violência vêm apresentando números alarmantes. Visto isso, o presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar as relações entre crenças parentais sobre a emoção e a regulação emocional infantil em diferentes territórios da cidade, considerando a avaliação de segurança e satisfação no bairro. Para tal, participaram do estudo 40 mães da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, com filho(a) com idade entre 8 e 11 anos. Entre elas, 24 eram habitantes de territórios de favela e 16 habitantes de não-favelas. Foi utilizado um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Crenças sobre Emoções, a Escala de Crenças Parentais sobre Competência Emocional em Crianças, a Escala de Avaliação de Satisfação e Segurança e o Emotional Regulation Checklist. Os resultados indicaram não haver diferenças significativas entre os grupos de favela e não-favela em relação às crenças parentais e à regulação emocional infantil. No entanto, as mães residentes em favela apresentaram menores médias de satisfação e segurança no bairro quando comparadas às mães não residentes em favela. Além disso, foram encontradas correlações entre as crenças das mães sobre as próprias emoções e crenças sobre as emoções da criança e entre a avaliação de satisfação e segurança no bairro e a regulação emocional infantil. Tais resultados fornecem evidências sobre a importância do contexto no desenvolvimento da regulação emocional e elucida aspectos importantes para a promoção da saúde emocional infantil. / [en] Guided by cultural models, parental beliefs function as important organizers for the repertoire of practices used by parents in their interaction with their children. With regard to emotions, studies show how such beliefs and practices can affect children s social-emotional development. In addition, research suggests that a favorable physical and social environment plays a key role in this development. In this sense, contexts made vulnerable by violence can influence cultural models, which can have repercussions on parental beliefs and children s emotional competences. Considering the context of the city of Rio de Janeiro, records from the Public Security Institute show how much the violence rates have been showing alarming numbers. Given this, this study aims to investigate the relationships between parental beliefs about emotion and children s emotional regulation in different territories of the city, considering the evaluation of safety and satisfaction in the neighborhood. To this end, 40 mothers from the city of Rio de Janeiro, with children aged between 8 and 11 years, participated in the study. Among them, 24 were inhabitants of favela territories and 16 inhabitants of non favelas. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Scale of Beliefs about Emotions, the Scale of Parental Beliefs about Emotional Competence in Children, the Satisfaction and Safety Rating Scale and the Emotional Regulation Checklist were used. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between favela and non-favela groups regarding parental beliefs and children s emotional regulation. However, mothers residing in favelas had lower means of satisfaction and safety in the neighborhood when compared to mothers not residing in favelas. Furthermore, correlations were found between the mothers beliefs about their own emotions and beliefs about the child s emotions and between the assessment of satisfaction and safety in the neighborhood and child emotion regulation. These results provide evidence on the importance of context in the development of emotional regulation and elucidate important aspects for the promotion of child emotional health.

Como a literatura dificilmente investiga variáveis culturais e situacionais em conjunto, o presente trabalho procurou conjugar tais variáveis (depressão pós-parto, fatores ecossociais, modelos culturais de self, etnoteorias e práticas de cuidado) a fim de caracterizar uma amostra de mães paulistanas atendidas pelo sistema público de saúde do Butantã. Estas mães já faziam parte do projeto temático e longitudinal da FAPESP (No. 06/59192) que deu origem a este trabalho. Partiu-se da premissa de que etnoteorias (metas de socialização e crenças sobre práticas) e práticas de cuidado maternas, além de serem influenciadas pelo contexto ecossocial e modelos culturais de self, também poderiam ser afetadas por uma variável situacional materna mais específica: depressão pós-parto (DPP). Dividiu-se a amostra (N=91) em função da intensidade da DPP: (1) Menor intensidade (escores 0-24): N=46; e (2) Maior intensidade (escores 24-67): N=45. Foram utilizadas: (1) Entrevistas estruturadas; (2) Escala de Depressão Pós-parto de Edimburgo; (3) Escala de Apoio Social; (4) Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil; (5) Escala de Metas de Socialização; (6) Escala de Crenças sobre Práticas; (7) Escala de Importância Atribuída às Atividades Realizadas; e (8) Escala de Atividades Realizadas. As mães foram de modo geral autônomo-relacionais e strictu sensu mais interdependentes em suas metas e mais autônomas em suas crenças e práticas de cuidado. Encontraram-se as seguintes variáveis (1) associadas e (2) preditivas da intensidade da DPP: (1) relação empobrecida com a mãe na infância e adolescência; menarca precoce; maior número de homens com quem já teve filhos; conflito conjugal; história prévia de doença psiquiátrica; menor religiosidade; gravidez não desejada; e percepção de se dedicar menos do que o suficiente à criança, de considerar os cuidados infantis difíceis, de vivenciar impaciência com a criança e de receber menos apoio social principalmente do companheiro; (2) relação empobrecida com a mãe na infância; percepção de vivenciar impaciência com a criança; percepção de receber menos apoio social; e menor realização de práticas autônomas. As mães não se diferenciaram em função da intensidade da DPP quanto aos modelos culturais e metas de socialização, tendo se diferenciado quanto às crenças e práticas de cuidado. Mães de ambos os grupos valorizaram e realizaram igualmente cuidados primários, mas apenas mães mais deprimidas: (1) valorizaram menos práticas de cuidado interdependentes (fazer massagem; tentar evitar que se acidente; abraçar e beijar) e autônomas (responder perguntas; ficar olho no olho; ver livrinhos juntos); e (2) realizaram menos práticas de cuidado autônomas (jogar jogos; pendurar brinquedos no berço; ver livrinhos juntos; mostrar coisas interessantes; responder a perguntas). Os resultados sugerem que devemos considerar o quadro completo onde experiências estressantes vivenciadas na infância, adolescência e início da vida adulta das mães, ao se associarem e/ou predizerem a maior intensidade de DPP, podem afetar parcialmente a cognição e o comportamento materno. Tais resultados apontam ainda que em um único contexto urbano de criação podem coexistir cenários de risco e de proteção regidos por estratégias reprodutivas quantitativas e qualitativas, respectivamente / As literature hardly investigates cultural and situational variables together, we conjugate these variables (postpartum depression, ecosocial factors, cultural models, and maternal ethnotheories and practices of care) in order to characterize a sample of mothers who were attended by public health system of Butantã (city of São Paulo). Those mothers had already taken part of FAPESP´s thematic and longitudinal project (No. 06/59192) which gave rise to this work. The starting point was that maternal ethnotheories (socialization goals and beliefs about practices) and practices of care besides being influenced by ecosocial context and cultural models, they could also be affected by a specific maternal situational variable: postpartum depression (PPD). The sample was divided (N=91) according to intensity of PPD: (1) Lower intensity (scores 0-24): N=46; e (2) Higher intensity (scores 24-67): N=45. It was applied: (1) Structured interviews; (2) Brazilian Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale; (3) Brazil Economic Classification Criterion; (4) Brazilian Social Support Scale; (5) Brazilian Socialization Goals Scale; (6) Brazilian Parenting Ethnotheories Scale; (7) Brazilian Scale of Importance Assigned to Accomplished Parental Practices; and (8) Brazilian Scale of Accomplished Parental Practices. The mothers were broadly considered autonomy-relatedness and strictu sensu more interdependent in their socialization goals and more autonomous in their beliefs and practices of care. We found the following (1) associated and (2) predictive variables of the intensity of PPD: (1) poor relationship with the mother in childhood and adolescence; early menarche; the highest number of sex partners with mothers had children with; marital conflict; previous history of psychiatric illness; lower religiosity; unwanted pregnancy; and perception of devoting less than enough to the child, considering childcare a difficult task, experiencing impatience with the child, and receiving less social support especially from their partners; (2) poor relationship with the mother in childhood; perception of experiencing impatience with the child; perception of receiving less social support; and less autonomous practices performed. The mothers did not differ according to the intensity of PPD regarding cultural models and socialization goals, they only differed concerning their beliefs and practices of care. Mothers of both groups valued and performed primary care practices equally, but only more depressed ones: (1) valued less interdependent (do massage; try to avoid child accident; hug and kiss) and autonomous (answer questions; make eye contact; see books together) practices of care; and (2) performed less autonomous practices of care (playing games; hanging toys in the crib; seeing books together, showing interesting things, answering questions). The results suggest that we must consider the \"whole picture\" in which stressful events experienced in mothers childhood, adolescence and early adulthood when associated and/or predictive to higher intensity of PPD can partially affect maternal cognition and behavior. These results also show that in a single urban context of child rearing can coexist risky and protective scenarios which are governed by quantitative and qualitative reproductive strategies, respectively

This document discusses and analyzes the theoretical implications as of developmental psychology, relating to variables that are essential for the study of socialization, such as parental ethno-theories and the context of the mother-child interaction, from the specificity of a cultural context. A relevant subject for psychology is approached, focusing on subjects of cultural, trans-cultural, and developmental psychology. Parental beliefs, conflict resolution strategies, and cultural orientation were assessed in two Costa Rican samples, a rural (n=14) and an urban (n=14). 28 mothers and their pre-school children were assessed in three interaction episodes (free play and two scenario conflict situations). Collectivis Scale (Yamaguchi, 1984), Family Allocentrism Scale (Lay & others, 1998) and Socialization Goals Inventory (Harwood, 1992) plus a semi-structured interview were applied. Interdependent cultural orientation among Costa Rican mothers and differences among zone were tested. Despite an interdependent cultural orientation, urban and rural samples showed certain variability concerning interactive compenents, parental beliefs and cultural values related to conflict resolution and conflict resolution styles. Results allow to detail certain cultural specific values concernin parenting, interaction patterns, parental beliefs and social values related to conflict resolution.

Diploma thesis: Beliefs of actors in relation to preschool education at local level Author: Bc. Petra Kaplanová Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore and compare beliefs of actors in relation with preschool education at local level and determine how they influence policy of preschool education. Used methodology is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The most significant used theory is a system of beliefs from Paul A. Sabatiera which is a part of theory of avocational coalitions. Four different beliefs were revealed. The first belief called "pro alternatives" did not show deep core beliefs of actors. However, it was obvious that these actors sympathize with alternative education principles. Second belief "traditional collective" is based on conviction that children should have the same conditions for the beginning of their lives. The state education is the best what is for children offered. In the third belief "not interested" are actors convicted not to participate in any level of politics. They believe it can cause either trouble or it will not have any effects. The last belief "traditional individualistic" is characterized with a belief that state form of education is the best what can be provided to children. On contrary with belief "traditional collective" these actors are...

Prior studies based on data in the United States demonstrate that parental reading beliefs are significantly influenced by demographic characteristics, and their beliefs are significant predictors of home literacy practices and children's literacy development. Based on these findings, a model of parental reading beliefs was developed and tested. This study examined whether components within this model based on prior research findings in the United States would generalize to a sample of families in China. The study employed quantitative research methods, and parental reading beliefs, home literacy practices, children's reading interests, children's literacy development and literacy development served as variables. Instruments used to measure these five variables had been used in prior studies, and were adopted, modified, and translated into Chinese. The social-economic status (SES) of the family, gender and employment status of parents were controlled throughout the study. The sample for this study consisted of 795 parents of three- to four-year-old children attending Level A preschools in Shanghai. Participants were recruited through teachers in preschools, and data were collected via an online surveytool (SurveyMonkey ® ). Multiple regression analysis was used as the main statistical method to examine the associations between parental reading beliefs, home literacy practices, children's reading interest, and children's literacy and cognitive development, while incorporating control variables. Research findings demonstrated that demographic characteristics like socioeconomic status( SES), parents' gender and employment influenced parental reading beliefs significantly (p < .001); home literacy environments, children's reading interests, children's development both in literacy and cognition were closely related with parental reading beliefs (p < .001); although both parents' beliefs influence home literacy practices, mothers' beliefs played a more significant role in creating home literacy environments; the association of parental reading beliefs with children's reading interests and between parental reading beliefs and literacy development were mediated by home literacy practices; and the associations of parental reading beliefs with children's literacy and between cognition were mediated by children's reading interest. The present study demonstrated that the many parts of the model of parental reading beliefs may be generalized to a Chinese sample.
