    O propósito deste trabalho é empreender uma técnica de revisão bibliográfica dedicada à percepção da morte e, dos contributos de enfermagem à prestação dos cuidados ao doente em fim de vida com base no respeito por determinados princípios, garantindo dessa forma o desenvolvimento de um cuidado de excelência. A análise das bibliografias consultadas mostra-nos que a morte, ao longo do tempo, tem sido um tema relegado para segundo plano, havendo assim uma necessidade por parte do homem em afastar-se dela e a procurar estratégias que lhe permitam manter um controlo relativo sobre a vida. Não obstante e de acordo com a reflexão feita com base nessas referências bibliográficas, constata-se que a partir de um determinado período, com o desenvolvimento dos cuidados paliativos, regista-se uma nova transição na percepção deste conceito bem como, a importância de englobar o mesmo no contexto social, mostrando que faz parte do ciclo vital do ser humano. Com o desenvolvimento do presente trabalho, tentou-se compreender a percepção sobre os conceitos morte e morrer, as suas implicações no seio da sociedade, a importância do doente em fim de vida ser tratado como uma pessoa com um fim em si próprio, os processos do luto vividos na morte de uma pessoa e, quais os contributos que a enfermagem pode desenvolver de modo a garantir que os princípios referentes à pessoa em fim de vida sejam respeitados e trabalhados

    The health impact of elevated gang activity on the residents of South Los Angeles has been a pressing concern with limited research. Thus, this study aimed to understand the potential health repercussions within this context, specifically by examining how different patrolling systems influence community members\u27 physical activity in public parks. To increase security, the city of Los Angeles implemented police patrol programs in multiple high-risk parks. Concurrently, the Advocates for Urban Peace & Unity (APUU), a local community organization, introduced a novel approach of community-led park patrolling. Essentially, respected community members volunteer to patrol and maintain safety and order in the parks. Our study compared activity levels of community members within parks patrolled by police versus parks patrolled by community members. During the summer of 2023, we observed 17 parks in South Los Angeles – 8 patrolled by APUU community members and 9 patrolled by police. We collected and recorded data during each observation, then transferred and analyzed data by SPSS software. Preliminary findings suggest an anticipated higher physical activity rate in community-patrolled parks. The underlying hypothesis is that individuals will feel more comfortable and safe when surrounded by their own community members, and hence, encouraged to engage in physical exercise within these environments

    Mexican-Origin Parents’ Stress and Satisfaction: The Role Of Emotional Support

    Get PDF
    Guided by a process model of parenting and the integrative model, this study examined sources of emotional support (i.e., partner, maternal, paternal) as related to stress and satisfaction resulting from the parenting role in a sample of Mexican-origin young adult parents who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) during Wave IV. Participants were male and female parents (26–35 years of age; 59% female; N = 737) who had children and a partner. Results from structural equation modeling revealed support from mothers as salient; high levels of maternal support were associated with high levels of parenting satisfaction. Tests of indirect effects suggested that parenting satisfaction played an intervening role in the link between maternal support and parenting stress. The pattern of results held across levels of linguistic acculturation but varied by gender. Understanding the mechanisms that predict parenting stress and satisfaction within the Mexican-origin population may help in the identification of culturally sensitive intervention strategies.

    Exploring Mothers’ and Fathers’ Relationships with Sons Versus Daughters: Links to Adolescent Adjustment in Mexican Immigrant Families

    Get PDF
    Drawing on ecological and gender socialization perspectives, this study examined mothers’ and fathers’ relationships with young adolescents, exploring differences between mothers and fathers, for sons versus daughters, and as a function of parents’ division of paid labor. Mexican immigrant families (N = 162) participated in home interviews and seven nightly phone calls. Findings revealed that mothers reported higher levels of acceptance toward adolescents and greater knowledge of adolescents’ daily activities than did fathers, and mothers spent more time with daughters than with sons. Linkages between parent-adolescent relationship qualities and youth adjustment were moderated by adolescent gender and parents’ division of paid labor. Findings revealed, for example, stronger associations between parent–adolescent relationship qualities and youth adjustment for girls than for boys
