This sample was composed by 2 groups: one formed by 10 mothers with hypertension and their oldest child (from 6 to 10 years old), and the other group composed by 10 normotensive mothers and their oldest child (from 6 to 10 years old). There was no children s gender restriction. Data were collected during participants session in Campinas healthy centers and hospitals, using an identification form, followed by the Lipp s Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults, State-Trait-Anger-Expression Inventory and the Infantile Stress Scale. Results point out a significant association among stress and anger state and trait, and stress and anger out and anger in. When anger state and trait levels were high, mothers stress was stronger. The higher the children s stress level was, the higher anger state, temper and anger in and out, and the lower was the mothers educational level. There was no difference between mothers blood pressure levels. Results suggest larger studies are necessary to investigate the possible correlation among mothers blood pressure, stress and anger. / Este estudo investigou a influ?ncia do stress e da raiva de m?es hipertensas e normotensas no n?vel de stress dos filhos. A amostra foi composta por dois grupos, sendo um composto por 10 m?es hipertensas, e o mais velho de seus filhos, a faixa et?ria entre 6 e 10 anos, sem restri??o do g?nero. O segundo grupo foi formado por 10 m?es normotensas e o mais velho de seus filhos, na faixa et?ria entre 6 e 10 anos. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se um formul?rio para identifica??o dos participantes, o Invent?rio de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos, o Invent?rio de Express?o de Raiva como Estado e Tra?o e a Escala de Stress Infantil. A testagem ocorreu em postos de sa?de e hospitais da cidade de Campinas. Os resultados revelaram uma associa??o significativa entre stress e estado, tra?o de raiva, raiva para fora e raiva para dentro: quanto maiores os escores de tra?o e estado de raiva, mais elevado o stress das m?es; e no que se refere aos filhos, maior freq??ncia de stress naqueles cujas m?es apresentavam baixa escolaridade, alta porcentagem de estado de raiva, temperamento de raiva e raiva para dentro e para fora. N?o houve diferen?a entre as m?es normotensas e hipertensas nas vari?veis estudadas. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de estudos com amostras maiores a fim de se averiguar uma poss?vel correla??o dos n?veis de press?o arterial materna com o stress e a raiva.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Marcia Maria Bignotto.pdf: 807791 bytes, checksum: cbd31bd6800c47196215c3fea0f860fa (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-02-10 / The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of a new method for treating stress, designated stress control training for children (known locally as TCS-I) in the reduction of the symptomatology of stress in children between 8 and 9 years of age. The TCS-I was composed of 16 weekly meetings lasting 90 minutes each, in group session, and was based on cognitive behavior theory. The participants consisted of 20 children equally divided into two groups: the GTCSI which received the TCS-I training and the GC (control group) who had 16 weekly sessions with a psychologist, which did not involve stress control. Initial testing evaluated the symptomatology of stress, the stressors which the children would normally encounter in their everyday lives and what were the confrontation strategies they used. Using the quadriphase model as a theoretical benchmark which emphasizes four phases in the stress process, namely alert, resistance, near-exhaustion and exhaustion, results show that 60% of children were in the near-exhaustion phase, with a prevalence of psychological reactions. The stressors most mentioned by the children were internal in nature, and related to feelings of anxiety and situations related to impaired self-esteem. It was also found that they made use of numbers and types of strategies that were not sufficient to control their levels of tension. The two groups were compared before and after the GTCSI sessions. Initially, the groups showed no significant differences in terms of the level and phase of stress they were facing. After intervention, it was noted that the GTCSI showed a significant reduction in their level of stress when compared to the control group. It was concluded that stressed children, when subjected to stress control training specific to their needs, are capable of developing confrontation skills and achieving a reduction in levels of stress. It was also concluded that TCS-I is very effective in reducing stress in children and the internal sources of this stress. / Este estudo objetivou testar a efic?cia de um m?todo novo de tratamento do stress, designado treino psicol?gico de stress infantil (TCS-I) na redu??o da sintomatologia do stress em crian?as de 08 anos a 09 anos anos de idade. O TCS-I se constituiu de 16 encontros semanais de 90 minutos de dura??o, em grupo, e se baseou na teoria cognitivo-comportamental. Os participantes foram 20 crian?as distribu?das igualmente em dois grupos: GTCSI que recebeu o TCS-I e outro (grupo comparativo GC) que teve 16 encontros semanais com a psic?loga, n?o direcionados ao controle do stress. A testagem inicial avaliou a sintomatologia de stress, os estressores com os quais as crian?as se deparavam no dia a dia e quais estrat?gias de enfrentamento elas utilizavam. Considerando-se como referencial te?rico o modelo quadrif?sico que enfatiza quatro fases no processo do stress: alerta, resist?ncia, quase exaust?o e exaust?o, os resultados indicam que 60% das crian?as encontravam-se na fase de quase exaust?o, com preval?ncia de rea??es psicol?gicas. Os estressores mais mencionados por elas eram de natureza interna e se referiam a sentimentos de ansiedade e situa??es referentes a uma autoestima prejudicada. Verificou-se ainda que faziam uso de um n?mero e tipo de estrat?gias que se mostrou insuficiente no controle de seus n?veis de tens?o. Os dois grupos foram comparados antes e ap?s a interven??o do GTCSI. No inicio, os grupos n?o mostraram diferen?as significativas quanto ao n?vel e fase do stress na qual se encontravam. Ap?s a interven??o, observou-se, que o GTCSI apresentou uma redu??o significativa no seu n?vel de stress quando comparado ao GC. Concluiu-se que as crian?as estressadas quando submetidas a um treino de controle de stress espec?fico ?s suas necessidades, s?o capazes de desenvolver habilidades de enfrentamento obtendo redu??o nos n?veis de stress. Concluiu-se tamb?m que o TCS-I ? muito eficaz na redu??o do stress infantil e das fontes internas de stress.
