Characterization of parent-adolescent communication: a study of socio-demographic variables

Parent-adolescent communication seems to depend largely of some socio-demographic characteristics. The main goal of this research is the analysis of parent-adolescent perception about their communication considering some socio-demographic variables: sex, residence, socioeconomic status, education and family composition. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used to analyze the perception of 336 parents and 268 children about the quality of communication using the Perception Scale of Parenting Communication.: It was revealed that: boys tend to share their problems mostly with fathers; mothers have better perception of communication; there weren't statistical differences on communicational conflict in the sex variable; members of high socioeconomic classes and urban contexts have better perception about communication; and adolescents of post-divorce families tend to share their problems mostly with mothers than adolescents of intact nuclear families. Considering the influence of some socio-demographic variables on parent-adolescent communication, it is possible design concrete clinical interventions. It suggests the need to pay attention to particular contexts (rural places and low socioeconomic classes). These results demystify the belief that post-divorce families have more difficulties than nuclear intact families.A comunicação estabelecida entre progenitores e filhos adolescentes parece depender, em grande medida, de algumas características sociodemográficas. Objetivo: Análise da comunicação em famílias com filhos adolescentes, considerando as variáveis: sexo, área de residência, nível socioeconómico, escolaridade e estrutura familiar. Método: Através de um desenho quantitativo/transversal, aplicou-se a Escala de Avaliação da Comunicação na Parentalidade a 336 pais e 268 adolescentes. Resultados: Verifica-se que: os rapazes tendem a partilhar os seus problemas com os progenitores do sexo masculino; as mães destacam-se na perceção de maior expressão do afeto/apoio emocional; não se registram diferenças significativas ao nível do sexo no conflito comunicacional; membros de classes socioeconómicas altas e de contextos urbanos percepcionam melhor comunicação; e filhos de famílias pós-divórcio revelam partilhar mais os seus problemas com as mães do que filhos de agregados monoparentais. Conclusões: A influência de algumas variáveis sociodemográficas sobre a comunicação permite o desenho de intervenções clínicas concretas, sugerindo a necessidade de se prestar maior atenção a contextos particulares (classes rurais e socioeconómicas baixas). Estes resultados desmistificam a crença de que as famílias pós-divórcio têm mais dificuldades do que famílias nucleares intactas

Parent–child communicational characteristics: a comparison study between subjects from post-divorce and intact nuclear families

The occurrence of divorce seems to have impact on parent– child communication, with subsequent implications on the children well-being and development. The present study aims to analyze the influence that divorce has on parent–child communication comparing 102 participants from post divorced families and 100 participants from intact nuclear families. Measures consisted of a sociodemographic question naire and Perception Scale of Parenting Communication. Despite literature indicators, the main findings reveal the absence of significant statistical differences between both family structures, concerning to parent–child communication. Overall, it was registered some statistically significant differ ences concerning to specific divorce variables. These findings demystifying the idea that post-divorce families establish less positive communication patterns when compared with intact nuclear families.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Referring to discourse participants in European Portuguese: the form of address o senhor

We will examine the uses of the noun phrase o senhor (formal 'you'), as well as its linguistic and discourse status. As a form of address, it has acquired features that are typical of pronominal forms of address, with bleaching of semantic traits that point to an ongoing process of grammaticalization. In European Portuguese, despite being an issue that has been addressed several times, a comparison of the existing theoretical explanations has yet to be accomplished. Furthermore, its usage has not been analysed in different discourse contexts so as to attest to these changes. It is therefore necessary to revive and broaden the discussion. The data we have employed in this analysis is taken from the corpus Perfil sociolinguístico da fala bracarense ('Sociolinguistic profile of Braga speech'), consisting of sociolinguistic interviews. We also built an ad hoc corpus, comprising political debates and interviews. In addition, for specific questions, some data was obtained from the CETEMPúblico corpus, and from the Davies & Ferreira corpus for diachronic data. The overall goal of this study is the analysis of the linguistic and discourse features of the address form o senhor. It is a qualitative approach, complemented by quantitative analysis of the occurrences recorded. The results of our study show that o senhor is a hybrid form of address, revealing features from the two categories, the nominal form of address and the pronominal form of address. The confrontation of diachronic and synchronic data shows that the semantic values of the noun affect the current pragmatic values of the forms of address (FA

Supervisão de futuros enfermeiros no ensino clínico no serviço de cirurgia

Este estudo insere-se no contexto da supervisão de futuros enfermeiros no ensino clínico, no serviço de cirurgia de uma unidade hospitalar, e teve como principais objetivos, entre outros: i) analisar a evolução das aprendizagens realizadas por alunos de enfermagem durante o estágio; ii) identificar as opiniões dos alunos sobre o processo de supervisão. Neste estudo de natureza qualitativa, os dados foram recolhidos durante o processo de supervisão de seis alunos, através de observação participante e diários de sessões, elaborados pela supervisora, bem como através de semanários, portefólios da terapêutica e das patologias, estudo de caso, reflexão crítica no final do ensino clínico e grelhas de avaliação intercalar e final dos estagiários. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que durante o ensino clínico os alunos foram interiorizando as orientações, reajustando os seus comportamentos e progredindo gradualmente no seu desempenho e desenvolvimento de competências. Também se observou que a relação supervisiva assentou num clima afetivo-relacional e cultural de entreajuda, abertura, cordialidade, empatia, autenticidade e motivação. Os resultados desta investigação mostraram que a prática e investigação sobre a supervisão, deverão ser aprofundadas no futuro para se promover um ensino clínico mais eficaz.Instituto de Educação, Centro de Investigação em Educação (CIEd

Violencia en el trabajo: un estudio con enfermeros/as en hospitales portugueses

O presente estudo teve como principais objetivos caraterizar a violência ocorrida sobre enfermeiros(as) hospitalares portugueses por parte de utentes e contribuir para a adaptação de uma escala sobre violência no trabalho em contexto português. Os dados foram recolhidos através de um inquérito online. Participaram no estudo 191 enfermeiros(as), 91.6% dos quais mulheres. Os resultados indicaram que a violência psicológica, em comparação com a vicariante e física, foi a mais frequente. Por exemplo, 56% dos profissionais referiram sentirem-se observados fixamente enquanto estavam a trabalhar quatro ou mais vezes durante o último ano, ao passo que 2.1% referiu ter sido ameaçado com uma arma com a mesma frequência e período de referência. Observou-se ainda que determinados serviços (e.g., urgências) estavam mais associados à ocorrência de violência, nomeadamente física, e que a violência estava associada a uma saúde psicológica mais pobre. O estudo inclui ainda a referência a possibilidades de intervenção neste domínio.The main goal of the present study was to characterize the violence against nurses by patients in Portuguese hospitals, and to contribute to the adaptation of a scale for violence at work in the Portuguese context. Data were collected through a survey available online. A total of 191 nurses (91.6% were women) participated in the study. The results indicated that psychological violence, as compared with vicarious and physical violence, was the most frequent. For example, 56% of professionals reported feeling observed fixedly while working, four or more times during the past year, while 2.1% claimed to have been threatened with a gun with the same frequency and reference period. It was also observed that certain departments (e.g., emergency) were more associated with violent occurrences, in particular physical violence, and that violence was associated with poorer psychological health. The study also includes reference to intervention possibilities in this field.El presente estudio tuvo como principales objetivos caracterizar la violencia a los(as) enfermeros(as) por parte de usuarios de hospitales portugueses, y contribuir a la adaptación de una escala sobre violencia laboral en el contexto portugués.
