Control as an approach to preventing burnout among health care personnel
The burnout syndrome may be understood as a result of sustained physiological activation upcoming from occupational stress, together with the failure of the subject to cope with job situationâat stimulus level or on consequent reaction. Under this model, one can put forward two main conditions to prevent burnout through emotional regulation: (1) awareness of the uneasiness on the part of the subject enabling him to (2) act over those demands. The aim of the present study was to gain additional information about the relationship between burnout and control. With a mean age of 33.6 years (S.D.=9.06), subjects were 273 oncology nurses (33 men and 240 women) with direct care responsibilities. All subjects completed the Portuguese adaptations of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, to assess the burnout syndrome, and the Working Conditions and Control Questionnaire, which elicits six job control aspects. The correlations between MBI and control show that individuals who reported greater control feel more personal accomplishment, decreased emotional exhaustion, and display less depersonalization. Moreover, prediction of burnout through regression analysis shows that it is highly dependent of all control variables. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that burnout is mostly due to the lack of control over stressful work conditions.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
A haplotype-resolved draft genome of the European sardine (Sardina pilchardus)
The European sardine (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum, 1792) is culturally and economically important throughout its distribution. Monitoring studies of sardine populations report an alarming decrease in stocks due to overfishing and environmental change, which has resulted in historically low captures along the Iberian Atlantic coast. Important biological and ecological features such as population diversity, structure, and migratory patterns can be addressed with the development and use of genomics resources.AgĂȘncia financiadora

Caregiversâ responses to childrenâs negative emotions: Associations with preschoolersâ executive functioning
There is a lack of knowledge regarding the connection between parental emotional responsiveness and childrenâs executive functioning (EF). This study aimed to explore the relations
between caregiversâ reactions to their childrenâs distress and childrenâs EF. Mothers of 136 preschoolers reported their reactions to their childrenâs negative emotions using the Coping with Childrenâs
Negative Emotions Scale. Childrenâs EF was assessed through the mothers and teachersâ reports
using the Behavioral Inventory of Executive Functioning for Preschool Children. Results showed
that the mothersâ perceived use of negative emotional regulation responses (i.e., punitive and minimizing reactions) was associated with lower levels of EF in children, as reported by both mothers
and teachers. The association between the mothersâ use of positive emotional regulation responses
(i.e., problem-focused, emotion-focused, and expressive encouragement reactions) and childrenâs EF
was not significant. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the mothersâ use of negative emotional
regulation responses accounted for significant proportions of variance in EF indexes. These findings
suggest that parental socialization of emotion could be important for childrenâs EF. Specifically,
caregiversâ negative emotional regulation responses to childrenâs distress may serve as a risk factor
for poorer EF in children. Efforts to improve childrenâs EF may be more effective when parental
emotional responsiveness to their distress is considered.Fundação para a CiĂȘncia e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Perfis de comportamento inibido e sintomas de ansiedade em idade pré-escolar
Behavioral inhibition (BI) during the preschool years can be defined as a biologically-based wariness when exposed to novel people, situations and activities, and has been associated with an increased risk of developing anxiety symptoms. Although BI is not a unitary concept, to date, few studies aimed to characterize different subgroups of children, using multidimensional parental measures, and compare them in terms of anxiety symptoms. This study aimed to identify different profiles of children with BI and explore potential differences concerning anxiety symptoms. One hundred and eight mothers of children with a mean age of 54 months completed the Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire and the Preschool Anxiety Scale. Two profiles of children were identified: children with high and medium levels of BI. Children with high levels of BI displayed more generalized anxiety, social anxiety and physical injury fears symptoms than children with average BI levels. These differences were of greater magnitude for social anxiety symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of early intervention with children who display high levels of BI as early as the preschool years.A inibição comportamental (IC) em idade prĂ©-escolar pode ser definida com o retraimento biologicamente determinado perante pessoas, situaçÔes e atividades novas e associa-se a um risco acrescido de se vir a desenvolver sintomas de ansiedade. Apesar da IC nĂŁo ser um conceito unitĂĄrio, poucos estudos atĂ© Ă data procuraram caracterizar diferentes subgrupos de crianças, com recurso a medidas multidimensionais de relato parental, e comparĂĄ-los relativamente Ă manifestação de sintomas de ansiedade. Este estudo teve como objetivos identificar diferentes perfis de crianças com IC e explorar se estes diferentes perfis se distinguem ao nĂvel da sintomatologia ansiosa. Centro e oito mĂŁes de crianças, com uma mĂ©dia de idade de 54 meses preencheram o Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire e o Preschool Anxiety Scale. Foram identificados dois perfis: crianças com nĂveis elevados, e mĂ©dios de IC. As crianças com nĂveis elevados de IC apresentaram mais sintomas de ansiedade generalizada, ansiedade social e medo de danos do que as crianças com nĂveis mĂ©dios de IC. Estas diferenças foram de maior magnitude para os sintomas de ansiedade social. Os resultados obtidos veem reforçar a importĂąncia de se intervir precocemente com as crianças que, jĂĄ nas idades prĂ©-escolares, evidenciem nĂveis elevados de IC
Associations between emotion regulation, feeding practices, and preschoolersâ food consumption
: Previous research identified emotion dysregulation, non-responsive feeding practices, and
unhealthy food consumption as risk factors for childhood obesity. However, little is known about the
relationships between these factors. This study examined associations between childrenâs emotion
regulation, parental feeding practices, and childrenâs food consumption. The sample consisted of
163 mothers of children aged 3â5 years. Mothers completed the Emotion Regulation Checklist,
the Child Feeding Questionnaire, and the Child Health Section from the Parent Interview of the
Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-B to assess model variables. Results showed that healthy
food consumption was associated with higher emotion regulation abilities, higher monitoring, and
lower pressure to eat. For unhealthy food consumption, the associations were in opposite directions.
Higher emotion regulation abilities were also associated with higher monitoring, lower pressure
to eat, and lower restriction. For lability, the associations were in opposite directions. Regression
analyses revealed that childrenâs lability, pressure to eat, and monitoring were significant predictors of
childrenâs food consumption. These findings suggest that childrenâs emotion regulation and feeding
practices are important determinants of childrenâs food consumption. Future longitudinal studies that
examine bidirectional associations between childrenâs emotion regulation, parental feeding practices,
childrenâs food consumption, and potential mechanisms accounting for these associations are needed.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
