RELATIVES OF SCHIZOPHRENIC OUTPATIENTS: FEELINGS AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR

Discovering the difficulties the familyexperiences is an imminent need for the consolidationof the psychosocial rehabilitation process. A qualitativeresearch was undertaken to get to know and analyze familymembers’ forms of coping with their relatives’ aggressivebehavior and the feelings these situations arouse. As adata collection tool, a script was used to interview tenfamily members living in the coverage area of a PrimaryHealth Care Unit in Londrina, Paraná in 2012, and whohad a relative with mental disorder monitored at a mentalhealth service in the city. The results reveal difficulties tomanage crises, search for professional and spiritual helpand feelings the majority have in common, such as despair,suffering, fear of being victim of aggression, solitude andsocial isolation. To relive these difficulties, it is consideredimportant for the health service to intervene in the familycontext.Conhecer as dificuldades vivenciadas pela família constitui-se em necessidade iminente à consolidaçãodo processo de reabilitação psicossocial. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa para conhecimento e análise de formas deenfrentamento de familiares perante o comportamento agressivo de seus parentes, e os sentimentos que tais situaçõesgeram. Como instrumento de coleta de dados empregou-se roteiro de entrevista a dez familiares, residentes na área deabrangência de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde, em Londrina, estado do Paraná, em 2012, cujo acompanhamento doindivíduo com transtorno mental fosse realizado em algum serviço de saúde mental da cidade. Os resultados revelamdificuldades de manejo de crises, busca por auxílio profissional e espiritual, assim como sentimentos em comumà maioria, como a desesperança, o sofrimento, o medo de sofrer agressão, a solidão e o isolamento social. Com afinalidade de aliviar tais dificuldades, acredita-se ser importante a intervenção do serviço de saúde no âmbito familiar.Conocer las dificultades vividas por lafamilia es una gran necesidad para la consolidacióndel proceso de reabilitación psicosocial.

Dificuldades na amamentação: sentimentos e percepções paternas

Objetivo: compreender a percepção paterna frente às dificuldades no aleitamento materno. Métodos: estudo qualitativo, junto à 12 pais. A coleta de dados ocorreu por entrevista semiestruturada, em janeiro de 2017. O referencial metodológico utilizado foi o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Resultados: após a análise emergiram quatro ideias centrais: conhecimento versus desconhecimento sobre o aleitamento materno; o pai não é inserido no aleitamento materno pela equipe; sentimentos despertados diante das dificuldades na amamentação; oferecendo ajuda através de apoio, com os cuidados do bebê e com os afazeres domésticos. Considerações Finais: por meio do presente estudo foi possível perceber que os pais tinham interesse em participar e apoiar suas companheiras, porém não são inseridos e estimulados pela equipe de saúde. Expressaram sentimentos de preocupação e tristeza diante das dificuldades, e estas quando superadas o sentimento foi de alívio

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Perceptions of caregivers about surgical children’s thirst

Objective: to understand how caregivers experience surgical children’s fasting and how they realize their thirst in the perioperative period. Method: descriptive study of qualitative nature, carried out with 15 caregivers of children between 1 and 12 years old after surgery in a teaching hospital. For analysis, the Collective Subject Discourse method was used. Results: four thematic units emerged: surgical children in the presence of fasting and thirst; realizing thirst in surgical children; experiencing and facing the period of fasting and thirst with children; realizing the action of the health team in the presence of children’s thirst. For families, the experience of fasting is permeated with feelings like helplessness and distress. The presence of thirst, detected by self-report and physical signs, exacerbates their suffering. Conclusion: thirst management alleviates the suffering of children and families. It is therefore necessary to develop strategies for children’s thirst management
