Aconselhamento no puerpério: efeitos na auto-estima

Dissertação mest., Psicologia, Universidade do Algarve, 2009Os estudos realizados no âmbito do Aconselhamento no puerpério têm demonstrado que a prestação de informação e apoio eficazes às recém-mães tende a aumentar o seu bem-estar e auto-estima (Huq e Tasmin, 2008). Estes estudos necessitam contudo de validação e aprofundamento científico. Neste sentido realizou-se uma investigação acção de método quasi-experimental, em que se procurou observar o efeito do aconselhamento estruturado na auto-estima, stress, ansiedade estado e no grau de conhecimentos através da comparação dos resultados obtidos nos grupos, experimental e de controlo, ambos constituídos por 20 mulheres. Os resultados foram favoráveis, revelando que existem associações entre o grau de conhecimentos, auto-estima, stress e ansiedade. Indicam que, após o aconselhamento estruturado, os níveis de auto-estima e o grau de conhecimentos tendem a aumentar, enquanto o nível de stress e o grau de ansiedade tendem a diminuir. O aconselhamento estruturado parece assim ter um efeito positivo no bem-estar das puérperas

An assessment of forest fires and CO2 gross primary production from 1991 to 2019 in Mação (Portugal)

Forest-fire rates have increased in Southern European landscapes. These fires damage forest ecosystems and alter their development. During the last few decades, an increase in fast-growing and highly fuel-bearing plant species such as bush, Eucalyptus globulus Labill., and Pinus pinaster Ait. has been observable in the interior of Portugal. This study aims to verify this assumption by the quantification of the biomass carbon sink in the forests of the Mação municipality. Maps of fire severity and forest biomass evolution after a wildfire event were produced for the period of 1991 to 2019. To quantify carbon retention in this region, this evolution was correlated with gross primary production (GPP) on the basis of satellite imagery from Landsat 5, Landsat 8, and MODIS MYD17A2H. Results show that wildfires in Mação increased in area and severity with each passing decade due to the large accumulation of biomass promoted by the abandonment of rural areas. Before the large fires of 2003, 2017, and 2019, carbon rates reached a daily maximum of 5.4, 5.3, and 4.7 gC/m2/day, respectively, showing a trend of forest-biomass accumulation in the Mação municipality.UIDB/04020/2020; UIDB/04292/2020info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Social representation of healthy aging for elder men

This study aimed to understand the social representations of aging in healthy older men Parnaíba (PI). The sample was random, accidental and intentional, consisting of 50 elderly (M=72 years). Was used as an instrument of data collection structured interview. Data analysis was performed by a software Alceste. The representations of elderly extended beyond making an organismic conception affective aspects, interactional and politicians.</p
