ABSTRACT Nowadays, more and more often we hear about children who are attacked by dogs. The media constantly inform us about fighting breeds and their attacks on humans. Number of dogs in the household significantly increases and posibility of injury of the child by our four-legged partner is increasing too. This situation requires a solution. Media accused of assaulting an animal, unfortunately very often the culprit is not even a dog or child. Thesis on ?The awareness of pupils of first and second class ofthe first level of basic schools on the ethology of dogs ? is based on the author's practical experience with objective reality. The author herself, which is devoted to dogs more than 15 years, also tried to capture the degree of knowledge of school age children on the natural behavior of our four-legged domestic ?pets?. Through her own research, conducted by standardized questionnaires at selected basic schools in the South Bohemia region (in total 284 respondents) reveals the primary mistakes committed by these children in contact with their own or strange dog. The theoretical part is devoted to common cohabitation of children (or people) and dogs. Various chapters are focused on the historical evolution of domestic dog, the coexistence of humans and dogs, and communication sinals, which they use to interact among themselvest, but also on the impact of a dog on the psyche of the child. The research revealed significant gaps in knowledge regarding children's innate behavior of the dog. For this reason children can not adequately respond to a signal that is sent by a dog, so there can arise a hazardous situation between them. At the end of thesis the author proposes a practical solution that could serve as a basic for a new educational program aimed at preventiv injuries caused by dogs attack the children.

O baixo peso ao nascer tem sido reconhecido como uma condição adversa ao desenvolvimento infantil, podendo, sob a perspectiva da psicopatologia do desenvolvimento, ser considerado uma condição de risco biológico. O impacto negativo para os desfechos comportamentais em escolares tem sido amplamente estudado, contudo os achados são escassos quando da avaliação da depressão infantil. Propôs-se um estudo prospectivo de coorte, com o objetivo geral de comparar e correlacionar os indicadores comportamentais e de depressão infantil de uma coorte de crianças em idade escolar, estratificada em cinco grupos de peso ao nascer, segundo os valores de referência da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), a saber: muito baixo peso ao nascer (MBP), baixo peso ao nascer (BP), peso insuficiente ao nascer (PI), peso normal ao nascer (PN) e muito alto peso ao nascer (MAP). Foram avaliadas 665 crianças, aos 10-11 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos, nascidas em Ribeirão Preto-SP. Procedeu-se à avaliação dos indicadores comportamentais, por meio do Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades (SDQ) respondido pelos pais e à avaliação dos indicadores de depressão, por meio do Inventário de Depressão Infantil (CDI) respondido pelas próprias crianças. Para o levantamento das condições clínicas das crianças e das características sociodemográficas das famílias, foram utilizadas informações de um Questionário Complementar. Os dados foram codificados de acordo com as proposições dos instrumentos e analisados por procedimentos de estatística não-paramétrica (p0,05). Em relação aos indicadores comportamentais, o grupo MBP apresentou escores mais elevados referentes à hiperatividade em comparação a todos os outros grupos, e aos problemas de relacionamento com colegas em comparação ao grupo MAP. Quanto aos indicadores de depressão infantil, o grupo MBP apresentou escores mais elevados de indicadores de depressão quando comparado aos demais grupos. No que se refere à associação dos indicadores comportamentais, relatados pelos pais, aos indicadores de depressão infantil, relatados pelas crianças, verificou-se, para todos os grupos, exceto para o MBP, que as crianças que apresentaram escores mais elevados de depressão infantil na sua autoavaliação, obtiveram também escores de dificuldades comportamentais gerais mais elevados na percepção dos pais. Considerou-se que a sintomatologia depressiva relatada pelas crianças foi identificada pelos pais como a presença de dificuldades comportamentais com manifestações diversas. Observou-se, para todos os grupos, que as variáveis sociodemográficas relativas à menor qualificação da ocupação do pai/chefe da família, à menor escolaridade dos pais e à inclusão em classes econômicas menos favorecidas foram as que apresentaram maior número de associações à presença de problemas comportamentais. O mesmo não foi observado para a depressão. Constatou-se uma maior vulnerabilidade das crianças expostas ao fator de risco biológico relativo ao muito baixo peso ao nascer para as dificuldades comportamentais, especialmente a hiperatividade, e para a depressão infantil. Destaca-se a importância da avaliação dos indicadores de problemas infantis por diferentes informantes visando resultados mais consistentes. A identificação precoce de dificuldades comportamentais e de indicadores de depressão associados ao peso ao nascer pode contribuir para o planejamento de programas de prevenção e intervenção para a promoção da saúde mental infantil. / Low birth weight has been recognized as an adverse condition to child development and may be considered as a biological risk condition, from the perspective of developmental psychopathology. The impact of this risk factor for behavioral outcomes in school-age children has been widely studied, however the findings about the assessment of children depression are still scarce. In this context, a prospective cohort study was proposed, with the general aim to compare and correlate behavioral and depression indicators in a cohort of school-age children, stratified into five groups of birth weight, according to the reference values of the World Health Organization (WHO), namely: very low birth weight (VLBW), low birth weight (LBW), insufficient birth weight (IBW), normal birth weight (NBW) and high birth weight (HBW). For this purpose, 665 children were evaluated, between the ages of 10-11 years old, of both sexes, from Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Proceeded thus to the assessment of behavioral indicators, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) completed by parents, and the assessment of depression indicators, using the Childrens Depression Inventory (CDI) answered by children. Aiming to survey the childrens clinical conditions and the families sociodemographic characteristics, information from a supplementary questionnaire were used. Data were coded according to the instruments propositions and analyzed by non-parametric statistics (p0,05). In relation to behavioral indicators, the VLBW group had higher scores regarding hyperactivity compared to all other groups, and peer relationship problem compared to HBW group. For indicators of child depression, the VLBW group showed higher scores for child depression when compared to other groups. Regarding the association of behavioral indicators, reported by parents, to child depression indicators, reported by children, it was verified, in all groups, except in the VLBW, that children who had higher scores of depression indicators in self-assessment, also obtained higher scores to general behavioral difficulties in parents perception. It was considered that the depressive symptoms reported by children were identified by parents as the presence of behavioral difficulties with diverse manifestations. It was also observed, in all groups, that the sociodemographic variables related to less qualified occupation of father or householder, lower parental education and belong to disadvantaged economic classes showed the greatest number of associations to the presence of behavioral problems. The same was not observed for child depression. Therefore, it was noticed that there was a greater vulnerability in children exposed to the biological risk factor related to very low birth weight for behavioral difficulties, especially hyperactivity, and child depression. It is important to highlight the value of assessing indicators of child problems by different informants, with the goal to find results more consistent. Early identification of behavioral difficulties and depression indicators associated with birth weight may contribute for planning prevention and intervention programs, in order to promote childrens mental health.
