We start from the initial lacanian thesis about the insertion of the subject on the symbolic at the moment of its conception, from the statement the symbol is the death of the thing , from the idea of the body as desert of jouissance , that is, the jouissance denied to the being who speaks, until the final proposition of this teachings, namely that in order to experience jouissance one must have a body. And the production of a body in different connections and registers, plus the entrance into the discourse as from of jouissance ordering, are both also related to the entrance of the subject into the social link. Arriving at the real of lalangue, we observe that this real pervades all the question of the body and its marks, voluntary like tattoo, and involuntary like the psychosomatic phenomenon, which are similar because they leave marks on the body, but with processes underlying their inscription being absolutely distinct, as is the psychic ordering, casting light on psychoanalytic concepts acting differently on the subjects. Reviewing history, taking into account the socio-cultural aspects, moving through theories wich intercommunicate with Psychoanalysis, 9 like the Social Sciences and Anthropology, using excepts from interviws, in the case of tattoos, and also by presenting two clinicals cases of a patient with psoriasis, we show, in our work, the existence of a strong opposition between the two types of marks on the body, but wich nonetheless present traits in common: both produce social links, although in distinct processes / As marcas corporais, especificamente a tatuagem e o fenômeno psicossomático, lesão na pele, são as questões que abordamos neste trabalho, fazendo uso da teoria psicanalítica que trata a corporeidade como Lacan postulou no decorrer de seu ensino, passando pelos três registros: Real, Simbólico e Imaginário. Partimos da tese inicial lacaniana sobre a inserção do sujeito no simbólico quando da sua constituição, da afirmação o símbolo é a morte da coisa , da idéia do corpo como deserto de gozo , isto é, o gozo interditado ao ser falante, até a proposição do final de seu ensino, de que para gozar é preciso ter um corpo. E a produção de um corpo em diferentes conexões e registros, mais o ingresso no discurso como forma de ordenação de gozo, relacionam-se com a entrada do sujeito no laço social. Chegando ao real da lalíngua, constatamos que esse real permeia toda a questão do corpo e suas marcas, voluntárias , como a tatuagem, e involuntárias como o fenômeno psicossomático, que se assemelham por deixar uma marca no corpo, mas cujos processos subjacentes à inscrição delas são absolutamente distintos, assim como a ordenação psíquica, trazendo à luz conceitos psicanalíticos operando diferentemente nos sujeitos. Revendo a história, considerando os aspectos sócio-culturais, perpassando por teorias que fazem interlocução com a psicanálise, como as ciências sociais e a antropologia, através de recortes de 7 entrevistas, no caso da tatuagem, também da apresentação do caso clínico de uma paciente com psoríase mostramos, no decorrer do trabalho, forte oposição entre as duas marcas no corpo, mas que apresentam algo em comum: ambas fazem laço social. Ainda que em processos distintos

Based in Jungian Psychosomatic Model of diseases, this paper uses the method of qualitative and quantitative research, through the application of semi-structured interviews and The Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) before and after the participants undergo a spiritual healing treatment. The sample consists of thirtythree participants with various diseases, 34-81 years, of different religions, frequenters of a spiritist center of the city of São Paulo. The interview results showed that for the majority of the sample the treatment was effective because the respondents had a perception of improvement in their health status, reported a decrease in symptoms, acquired some kind of learning and changed their relationship with the disease itself. This way faith proved to be an important element of healing. For a minority of the sample, there has been little improvement in their perception of physical symptoms. However, they obtained psychological and spiritual gains. When comparing the average results of the participants in the first and second application of the SF-36, there was significant improvement in the mental component summary and in the following domains of quality of life: role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health. The differences between the outcomes of the first and second application of the SF-36 of physical functioning and the physical component summary were not statistically significant / Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar se a Terapia Complementar Espírita (TCE) promove melhora na qualidade de vida e na percepção de saúde do paciente segundo seu autorrelato. Fundamentada no Modelo Psicossomático Junguiano de doenças, esta dissertação utiliza o método qualitativo e quantitativo de pesquisa, através da aplicação de entrevistas e do Instrumento Genérico de Avaliação de Qualidade de Vida em Saúde (questionário SF-36) antes e depois dos participantes se submeterem a um tratamento de cura espiritual. A amostra é composta por trinta e três sujeitos com enfermidades diversas, de 34 a 81 anos, de distintas religiões, frequentadores de um centro espírita da cidade de São Paulo. Os resultados das entrevistas indicaram que para a maioria da amostra o tratamento foi eficaz, pois os entrevistados obtiveram uma percepção de melhora no estado de saúde, observaram uma diminuição dos sintomas apresentados, adquiriram algum tipo de aprendizado e modificaram a relação com a própria doença. A fé se mostrou assim um importante elemento de cura. Para uma minoria, houve percepção de pouca melhora nos sintomas físicos. Contudo, obtiveram ganhos de ordem psicológica e espiritual. Ao comparar as médias dos resultados dos participantes obtidos na primeira e na segunda aplicação do questionário, observaram-se resultados de melhora significativa no sumário de componentes mentais e nos seguintes domínios de qualidade de vida: aspectos físicos, dor, aspecto geral de saúde, vitalidade, aspectos sociais, aspectos emocionais, saúde mental. A diferença entre as médias da capacidade funcional e no sumário de componentes físicos não foi estatisticamente significativa

O objetivo da pesquisa foi compreender como os auxiliares e técnicos produzem sentidos sobre seu trabalho e sua vida. Entendendo que experiências de sofrimento emocional e transtornos psicossociais podem intervir na produção de sentido, este trabalho investigou também a qualidade de vida no trabalho e a existência de burnout. Foi utilizado o método quantitativo e qualitativo. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Inventário de Burnout de Maslach para profissionais de saúde (MBI-HSS), a escala BPSO-96 e um protocolo de entrevista semidirigida. A pesquisa foi realizada no Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo, as escalas foram aplicadas a 166 profissionais de saúde, dentre técnicos, auxiliares e outros profissionais do hospital e foram entrevistados 20 destes participantes. As escalas foram analisadas estatisticamente tanto na amostra inteira quanto segmentada em dois grupos, um de auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem e um grupo de outros profissionais para verificar se os fenômenos observados no primeiro grupo são específicos dessa categoria profissional. As entrevistas foram categorizadas e analisadas. Os resultados apontaram alto nível de despersonalização, médio de exaustão, baixa realização pessoal.e nível médio de satisfação com a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho, não havendo diferença estatística significativa entre os dois grupos. O momento de crise política vivenciado pelo hospital durante a coleta de dados pode ter interferido nos resultados, uma vez que as entrevistas semidirigidas revelaram insegurança, luto pela perda do hospital idealizado e insegurança quanto ao seu futuro profissional. Quanto aos sentidos produzidos, os profissionais entendem que sua prática é imprescindível para o tratamento médico, percebem-se como elo essencial entre paciente e equipe multidisciplinar e referem reconhecimento social pela atuação na área da saúde. Os auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem revelaram ainda satisfação pelo ato de cuidar, tendo na recuperação dos pacientes e seu reconhecimento e gratidão, importante fonte de produção de sentido da prática profissional / The objective of the research was comprehending how they give meaning to their work and life. Seeing that experiences of emotional suffering and psychosocial disorders may interfere in the meaning of work, this research has also looked into the quality of work life and the existence of burnout syndrome. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The research instruments applied were Maslach Burnout Inventory- Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), the BPSO-96 scale and a guide of semi structured interviews. The research was carried out at the University Hospital in São Paulo, the scales were applied to 166 health professionals, among assistants and other health professionals. 20 participants were interviewed. The scales were statically analyzed on the whole and segmented samples in two groups, one with nursing assistants and other one with other professionals, so both results were compared. The interviews were categorized and analyzed. The results have shown a high level of depersonalization, a medium level of exhaustion, a low level of personal fulfillment and a medium level of satisfaction with the quality of work life, there has not been a representative statistical difference between the two groups. The hospital was going through a political crisis during the data collection which may have interfered in the results, once the semi structured interviews have revealed insecurity, mourning over the loss of the idealized hospital and feeling of uncertainty towards their professional future. With regard to the meaning of work, the professionals understand that their practice is indispensable for medical treatments. They see themselves as a necessary link between patients and multidisciplinary teams. They also mention social recognition for the work in the health area and satisfaction when taking care of patients, seeing their recovery and gratitude as an important source of meaning in the professional practice

Abstract not available

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common behavioural disturbances in school children. The aims of this thesis were to explore the association of ADHD with recurrent health complaints and bullying behaviour in children in grade four, and to evaluate whether it is possible to predict ADHD in grade four by screening before or at school entry. Cohort study in a population of 577 fourth graders (10-year-olds) in Sigtuna, a municipality in Stockholm County. All children were screened for attention and behaviour problems by parents and teachers in fourth grade. In a second step children with high scores underwent further clinical and cognitive assessments. Information about health complaints and bullying was collected from the children themselves in a classroom questionnaire. Hypotheses were tested in multivariate analyses with adjustment for sex and parental education. Screening with developmental indicators and Conners scale from routine child health services was performed. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value for being diagnosed with ADHD in fourth grade was calculated. Recurrent abdominal pain, sleeping problems, and tiredness were associated with ADHD (adjusted relative risks: 2.2 [1.4-3.4], 1.7 [1.1-2.7], and 2.7 [1.7-4.1] respectively). ADHD was associated with bullying others students (adjusted odds ratios; 3.8 [95% C.I.: 2.0-7.2]) as well as being bullied (often 10.8 [4.0-29.0] and sometimes 2.9 [1.5-5.7]). The predictive value of developmental deviations for ADHD was no more than 20% and 50% when combining a Conner score of at least 10 from both parents and teachers. This thesis demonstrates a connection between ADHD in one as well as two settings (home and school), health complaints, and bullying in school children. Treatment strategies for ADHD need to include an effective evaluation and treatment of health complaints and effective interventions for bullying. Evaluation of ADHD should be considered in children with recurrent health complaints and in children involved in bullying. Screening does not identify children who are diagnosed with ADHD in grade four with a high degree of selectivity. It may be more important for schools to have an effective strategy for identifying and dealing with children who develop ADHD when these problems evolve, rather than before school entry.

Im Rahmen einer Reanalyse von vier Erhebungen an jugendlichen und erwachsenen Probanden in den neuen und alten Bundesländern in den Jahren 1990 bis 1991/92 wurden Angaben zu Indikatoren für Depressivität, Angst/psychosomatische Beschwerden und Substanzgebrauch in Ost- und Westdeutschland verglichen. Zum Zeitpunkt der Untersuchungen gab es im Gegensatz zu der von einzelnen Autoren angeführten Erwartung keine eindeutigen Hinweise auf eine insgesamt erhöhte psychiatrische Morbidität in den neuen Bundesländern. Depressive Symptome und der Gebrauch von illegalen Drogen und Medikamenten sind durchgängig in den alten Bundesländern häufíger nachzuweisen als in den neuen Bundesländern. Allenfalls ergaben sich für die Stichproben Ost für einzelne depressionstypische sowie einzelne psychovegetative Symptome und für Alkoholgebrauch statistisch signifikant erhöhte Werte. Da keine Diagnosekriterien erhoben wurden, muβ die Aussagekraft der Daten dahingehend eingeschränkt werden, daβ lediglich Indikatoren für psychische Auffälligkeiten erhoben wurden.

While socioeconomic inequalities in health seem to level out during adolescence, circumstances related to school appears to have increased in importance. Such circumstances include, for example, school performance. The primary aim of this study is to examine the relationship between school performance and psychosomatic health. The moderating role of self-esteem and the presence of any sex differences will additionally be investigated. Data from the Stockholm School Survey in 2004, covering a total sample of 5 135 adolescents in 9th grade, were used. Based on linear regression, a significant association between school marks and psychosomatic health was found where higher school performance was linked to better health. Moreover, lower self-esteem was linked to more health complaints. Self-esteem moderated the association between school marks and psychosomatic health but only among boys, for whom the effect of having both high marks and high self-esteem was not as beneficial for health as expected. While differences by sex were found in the distribution of school marks, self-esteem and psychosomatic health, none were found in the associations between self-esteem and school performance and psychosomatic health (the only exception being the moderating role of self-esteem among boys).

I uppsatsen undersöktes faktorer som bidrar till skolstress och somatiska symtom hos ungdomar på studieförberedande- och yrkesförberedande gymnasium av båda könen. Deltagarna var 105, varav 59 från de studieförberedande programmen, 23 elever var killar och 36 var tjejer samt, 46 var från de yrkesförberedande programmen, varav 25 var killar och 21 var tjejer. Undersökningen var kvantitativ och enkäter skapades som innehöll 42 frågor varefter 10 variabler skapades av dessa och en fråga analyserades med kvalitativ ansats. Resultaten visade att studenterna på de studieförberedande programmen generellt upplevde mer skolstress. Tjejerna upplevde mer skolstress, externa krav, somatiska-, psykosomatiska besvär och de ansåg sig ha för höga krav på sig själva. Korrelationen mellan somatiska besvär och skolstress var positiv och resultatet var signifikant. Studien visade att elever led av både Skolstress, Somatiska- och Psykosomatiska besvär och dessa borde tas i åtanke av både vårdnadshavare och lärare i skolsituationer. Relibiliteten för alla variabler utom Somatiska besvär var god och eftersom reliabiliteten var låg fanns risk för att samband inte var signifiktanta . Det fanns även en risk att Skolstressen var högre på grund av att det var nära terminsavslut. Förslag till vidare studier var att undersöka varför killar inte upplever samma besvär som tjejer. / The essay investigated factors that could contribute to school-related stress and somatic complaints among adolescents at academic- and vocational programs in high school in both sexes. There were 105 participants, whereof 59 from the academic programs, 23 where boys and 36 were girls and 46 from the vocational programs, whereof 25 were boys and 21 were girls. The study was a quantitative one and questionnaires were created from which contained 42 questions after which 10 variables were created and one question was analyzed with a qualitative approach. The results showed that students at the academic programs generally experienced more school-related stress. Girls experienced more school-related stress, external demands, somatic- and psychosomatic complaints and they thought they had too much demands on themselves. The correlation between somatic complaints and school-related stress was positive and the result was significant. The study showed that students suffered from both school-related stress, somatic- and psychosomatic complaints and this should be taken into consideration from both caregivers and teachers in school situations. The reliability for all variables other than Somatic complaints was good. There was a risk that the school-related stress was high because of closeness to end of semester. A suggestion for further studies was to examine why boys does not experience the same difficulties as girls
