Parental mental health and child anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America

This study examined parents’ (N = 10,141, 64% women) reports of their and their childrens’ depression, anxiety, and stress in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. The data come from the COVID-19 Family Life Study (Ben Brik, 2020) and cohort recruited between April and December 2020. Participants completed online surveys that included the DASS-21 and the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale. Our findings indicate that socio-economically disadvantaged families fared worse in mental health during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with families with more social and economic resources. Mothers reported higher anxiety, depression, and stress compared with fathers. Parents of adolescents and adolescents fared worse than did families with younger children. Parental physical activity was associated with better parent and child mental health of anxiety symptoms. We discuss the need to address the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in families in Latin America via coordinated mental health and psychosocial support services that are integrated into the pandemic response currently and after the pandemic subsides.Fil: Ben Brik, Anis.

A influência do sistema de avaliação nos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu brasileiro

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1983-4535.2012v5n3p155   Neste artigo foi analisado como o sistema de avaliação da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – CAPES influenciou os programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu brasileiro da área de Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Turismo a se adaptarem para o atendimento dos quesitos deste sistema de avaliação. Apoiados nos Cadernos de Indicadores disponibilizados no site da CAPES, a pesquisa se caracterizou como descritiva, exploratória e documental. Como resultados, foi possível identificar três ações colocadas em práticas pelos programas que possuíam as notas mais elevadas e os programas que subiram de notas consecutivamente nos três triênios avaliados: a) constância no número de defesas de Teses e Dissertações; b) dinamismo na composição (alterações/adaptações) do corpo de docentes; e c) consolidação das redes de colaboração de publicações entre os professores do corpo docente do mesmo programa
