La coexistence interprofessionnelle au sein d’un hôpital psychiatrique

Voulant organiser une journée d’étude sur les relations de travail interprofessionnelles au centre de psychiatrie communautaire du centre hospitalier Douglas, nous avons, au préalable, distribué à 81 professionnels (infirmières, psychiatres, psychologues et travailleurs sociaux) des unités internes et/ou des cliniques externes, un questionnaire dont nous analysons ici les résultats, avant de dresser un bilan de la journée elle-même. L’auteur présente les difficultés de coordination du personnel, et les différences de satisfaction au travail et de croyances dans l’efficacité de l’institution.The results of a survey on interprofessional collaboration in a psychiatrie hospital indicated difficulties in staff coordination as well as differences between professions in job satisfaction and belief in the institution's effectiveness. Reasons for these differences and suggestions for improvement of the present system are cited

Child Attachment Security and Self-Concept: Associations With Mother and Father Attachment Style and Marital Quality

Children\u27s (n = 216) attachment security and self-concept were predicted from parents\u27 reports of their own attachment style and marital adjustment. Structural equation modeling indicated that mothers\u27 anxious attachment style uniquely predicted children\u27s insecure attachment to both mother and father. In turn, associations of child-mother attachment with specific self-concept domains differed from those of child-father attachment with self-concept across age. For example, child-mother attachment was associated uniquely with perceived global self-worth and physical appearance for both younger (9-12 years) and older (13-14 years) children. In contrast, child-father attachment was associated uniquely with child-perceived school competence, and only for older children with global self-worth

The Relations Between Friendship Quality, Ranked-Friendship Preference, and Adolescents Behavior With Their Friends

Fifty-two girls and 28 boys and their same-sex friends rated the quality of their friendship, ranked their preference for this friendship relative to other friendships, and participated in a videotaped discussion. Boys and girls significantly differed in perceived-friendship quality and observed behavior with friends. Specifically, girls rated their friendship quality more positively and less negatively and they showed more positive and less negative behavior in interaction with their friends than boys. No sex differences emerged in the relation of perceived-friendship quality to adolescents’ own behavior and to their friend’s behavior. Ranked-friendship preference was also significantly related to behavior, albeit to a lesser extent than perceived-friendship quality. The potential mechanisms underlying adolescents’ friendship experiences are discussed

Same-Sex Peer Relations and Romantic Relationships During Early Adolescence: Interactive Links to Emotional, Behavioral, and Academic Adjustment

It was examined whether early adolescents’ involvement in a romantic relationship would be differentially related to adjustment, depending on their relations with the same-sex peer group. Three hundred and twelve 7th graders were assessed with respect to their social acceptance by same-sex peers, involvement in reciprocal same-sex friendships, involvement in romantic relationships, selfesteem, antisocial behavior, and academic performance. Social acceptance by other-sex peers and involvement in reciprocal other-sex friendships were also assessed for control purposes. The results showed that having a boyfriend/ girlfriend was related to poorer emotional and behavioral adjustment for those early adolescents who were unpopular among same-sex peers. For adolescents who were popular among same-sex peers, romantic involvement was not related to emotional and behavioral adjustment. Independently of same-sex peer acceptance, however, romantic involvement was negatively related to academic performance, albeit only for girls. The results are discussed in light of Sullivan’s theory of social development
