Sexuality is a core human dimension and needs to be dealt with and given attention from early childhood education in order to building strong foundations and foster sexual health. Although all factors in child development should play an active role in acquiring skills, tools, strategies, attitudes, aptitudes and knowledge regarding sexuality, families play a primary role. Children’s literature is a pedagogical and educational tool to deal with sexuality since it contributes to family-child bonding. The main aim of this research is to consider the role of the family in this educational challenge through analysing children’s literature. In this sense, the theoretical framework comprises a systematic review focused on family, childhood, sexual education and children’s literature, supplemented by an analysis of a set of children’s aimed at providing sexual education in line with three fundamental ideas: (a) how sexuality is dealt with, (b) narrative and aesthetics, and (c) the role of the family represented in the plot. Indeed, the research shows how the combination of sexual education and children’s literature helps lead to family proactiveness, attending to children’s needs and promoting children’s rights. That being said, the main aspect considers communication, dialogue and reflection as facilitating factors in families’ educational responsibilities and children’s learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: La gestación luego de los 35 años es una tendencia creciente en el mundo contemporáneo, sin embargo, aún no han sido suficientemente explorados aspectos como el retorno al trabajo y su relación con la funcionalidad familiar y el apoyo social. Objetivo: Evaluar el retorno laboral, la funcionalidad familiar y el apoyo social en mujeres que fueron gestantes después de los 35 años, en Medellín y el área metropolitana, en Antioquia, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo en el que se midieron características sociodemográficas, el apoyo social, la funcionalidad familiar y la satisfacción con el retorno laboral después de la gestación, a 106 mujeres del departamento de Antioquia, Colombia. Resultados: El 82,1% de las participantes tenía un título superior al bachiller y más de la mitad pertenecía a una clase media-alta. Ninguna participante con funcionalidad familiar normal tuvo un retorno laboral poco satisfactorio y aproximadamente el 80% de estas aún se encontraba activa laboralmente. El 75% de las participantes negó haber presentado depresión posparto, sin embargo, solo el 43,8% autorreportó una funcionalidad familiar normal. Conclusión: Para una mujer gestante mayor de 35 años, una familia funcional y una buena percepción de apoyo social actúan positivamente en el retorno laboral.

The quality of the coparental relationship impacts child behavior across different family configurations. The present study, which was cross-sectional and employed a convenience sampling method, aimed to investigate the predictive effects of coparenting dimensions on aspects of child behavior in both married and divorced families. A total of 344 participants with children aged between 3 and 11 years (261 from married families and 83 from divorced families) completed the Coparenting Relationship Scale and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression results indicated that family type (married or divorced) was not a predictor of any child behavior variables in statistically significant models. In the overall sample, Coparenting agreement significantly reduced all child behavior problems and increased prosocial behavior. In married families, Coparenting agreement negatively predicted all child behavior problems except emotional symptoms. In divorced families, Coparenting agreement was a negative predictor of hyperactivity, externalizing problems, and overall difficulties. The Exposure to conflict variable positively predicted conduct problems and child difficulties in the general sample, as well as emotional symptoms and internalizing problems in the divorced families. The Endorse partner's parenting variable negatively predicted emotional symptoms, peer relationship problems, and internalizing problems in married families only. Therefore, it was concluded that coparenting dimensions, particularly agreement and conflict, impact child behavior differently in married and divorced families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective is to evaluate the association between socioeconomic, behavioral, psychosocial and oral health factors with the family relationships of preschool children, in the city of São Francisco, northern region of Minas Gerais. In a cross-sectional survey, with representatives of 247 5-year-old children and their mother's, validated questionnaires were administered to the mothers and intraoral examinations were carried out on the children using the index of decayed, missing or filled primary teeth (dmft). Family relationships were assessed using the Family Cohesion (FC) scale. Bivariate analysis and multinominal logistic regression were performed, with a significance level of 5%. In the bivariate analysis, an association was found between experience of dental caries and high CF; and the variables associated with low FC were maternal education, marital status, maternal nighttime oral cleaning and experience of cavities. In the final model, families with high HR were more likely to lack paid maternal work [3.56 (1.12-11.31), p=0.031] and less likely to experience caries [0.32 (0.11 - 0.96), p=0.042]; while families with low CF were more likely to have unmarried maternal marital status [2.34 (1.02-5.36), p=0.045]. Thus, socioeconomic and oral health variables are associated with the family cohesion of children aged 5 years and their mothers, demonstrating the need for participatory and comprehensive family care, in addition to intersectoral social public policies, to promote health and well-being. -being of children.

Objetivo: Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar el clima y la cultura organizacional de los enfermeros que trabajan en Ambulancias de Soporte Vital Inmediato (ASVI). Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, cuantitativo y transversal con 81 enfermeros portugueses que trabajan en Ambulancias de Soporte Vital Inmediato del Instituto Nacional de Emergencias Médicas (INEM). Los datos se analizaron mediante el método de análisis de componentes principales (ACP), seguido de rotación Varimax, y los modelos se validaron mediante las pruebas de esfericidad de Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin y Bartlett. Resultados: El análisis factorial arrojó cuatro factores, a saber: Apoyo (24,5%), Objetivos (13,6%), Reglas (9,7%) e Innovación (8,01%), asociados al clima y la cultura organizacional. Los enfermeros con un título de grado notaron que recibían bastante más apoyo que quienes tenían calificaciones más altas. El apoyo también varió según el estado civil, dado que los enfermeros casados tenían una percepción mayor del mismo que los que estaban en unión de hecho. Conclusión: El clima y la cultura organizacional contribuyen inequívocamente al desarrollo de un ambiente de trabajo saludable y seguro y son decisivos para la calidad de la atención de enfermería.

A través de una muestra de las voces vinculadas con las relaciones sociales en el ámbito familiar presentes en el Diccionario Nacional o Gran diccionario clásico de la lengua española (1846-48) de R. J. Domínguez y su tratamiento lexicográfico, se analiza la ideología y la subjetividad sobre esta esfera del léxico en relación con las restricciones sociales de la época en los roles de género y su reflejo en las prácticas lexicográficas de los diccionarios españoles de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.

Introducción: la depresión posparto (DPP) constituye un problema de salud pública. Se han descrito múltiples factores de riesgo biológicos y psicosociales. En Colombia no existen estudios que determinen su prevalencia con base en escalas de tamizaje y aplicación de criterios diagnósticos, así como su relación con los instrumentos de valoración familiar. Objetivo: estimar la prevalencia de DPP y su asociación con condiciones clínicas, curso de vida, tipología y función familiar, en mujeres en puerperio mediato. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional de corte transversal analítico en puerperio mediato (2 a 48 horas posteriores al parto), aplicando la escala de Edimburgo (EPDS) y los criterios DSM5 para tamizaje y diagnóstico de DPP. Se evaluaron variables sociodemográficas, antecedentes ginecoobstétricos, perinatales, condiciones clínicas y se aplicaron instrumentos de valoración familiar como curso de vida, tipología de familia y APGAR familiar. Resultados: se incluyeron 336 participantes con edad media de 27,3 años, la prevalencia de DPP fue 5.1%, las patologías prevalentes fueron preeclampsia (8.3%) y diabetes gestacional (6.3%), 58% (p

Objetivo: Conocer los puntos fuertes y débiles de las familias de las mujeres en situación de violencia a las que se les ha revocado la medida de protección de urgencia. Método: investigación descriptiva basada en el Modelo de Evaluación Familiar de Calgary, en el contexto de una Comisaría de la Mujer de un municipio del interior de São Paulo, Brasil, realizada entre septiembre y noviembre de 2021, con cuatro familias de mujeres a las que se les revocó la medida de protección. Los datos sobre la estructura, el desarrollo y la funcionalidad de la familia se recopilaron y analizaron utilizando el Modelo de Calgary. Resultados: las familias presentan similitudes que incluyen aspectos socioeconómicos, baja escolarización, consumo de alcohol, relaciones familiares conflictivas y relaciones transgeneracionales que, debido a su fragilidad, perpetúan el ciclo de la violencia. Sin embargo, los beneficios sociales, el apoyo religioso y el apoyo de los miembros de la familia fueron puntos fuertes. Conclusión: El modelo de evaluación familiar de Calgary proporciona una guía para que las enfermeras propongan planes de cuidados acordes con las complejidades de la violencia doméstica.

The coparental subsystem is formed by two caregivers who jointly make decisions regarding the offspring. This study aimed to understand the perception of adolescents, members of nuclear and separated families, about the characteristics of parents coparenting. Nineteen adolescents, from three public schools in the of Rio Grande do Sul participated in the survey. The adolescents responded a socio-demographic questionnaire and participated in a focus group. Descriptive and content analysis were carried out through which three categories were organized: cooperation, conflict and triangulation. The results indicated that adolescents perceive family dynamics and are directly impacted by the characteristics, positive and negative, of the interaction between parents, both in nuclear families and in separated ones. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies to work with the different family configurations focusing on coparenting, an accessible subsystem to carry out interventions and protective to the development of children.

Depression is a highly incident and recurrent condition, with episodes presenting varying levels of severity, being more prevalent among women. Maternal depression is known for its impact on parenting and schoolchildren's behavior. However, the influence of depression severity has been less systematically addressed. This study's objective was to identify and analyze empirical studies published between 2016 and 2022 addressing associations between the severity of maternal depression and schoolchildren's behavior. PRISMA guidelines were adopted with the following keywords: "maternal depress* and parenting and behavior problems." A total of 737 studies were identified in PsychInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, Lilacs, and Scielo databases and 10 were selected for analysis. Two other studies were included through the bibliographic references of the identified articles, totaling 12 studies for final analysis. Most of the studies were cross-sectional and presented predictive analyses. The results show that different severity levels of depression were associated with fewer positive practices and more behavioral problems in children. Additionally, current depression, in relation to the chronicity of the disorder, can better explain the negative impact on parenting practices. These findings can guide health professionals who care for children with behavioral problems, in the sense of guiding their guidelines by also considering the mental health condition of the mothers. Further studies addressing this population are suggested to investigate jointly the impact of different levels of maternal depression severity on parenting and children's behavior.

Objective: to understand the experience of family members of drug users in the Catepa (Malanje), Angola. Method: exploratory, phenomenological and qualitative study, conducted in 2019. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with a guide and recorder, in the family members' own homes. For the analysis, the thematic analysis technique was used. Results: the family perceives the relative in an ambivalent way, a characteristic that may be weighing the consequences of drug addiction, and delaying the search for help and greater proximity of the family and the user with health services. Prejudice and judgments are demotivating factors, as is the indifferent and undesirable behavior of the user under the influence of drugs. Even though they seek internal strategies to help the user, including based on religious precepts, they are unable to involve this family member in family activities, and do not observe the repercussions of the dialogue about prevention and harm to the user's treatment and recovery. Conclusion: the experience of family members is not healthy from a social and therapeutic point of view, suggesting little participation or limited perception by the family about the need for support networks and collaboration with social and health services.

A caregiver is defined as someone who provides ongoing assistance with the activities of daily living to a dependent individual. This continuous and long-term care often leads to adverse effects on the caregiver's physical and mental well-being, financial status, and social life, resulting in what is known as caregiver overload syndrome. While studies on this condition have been conducted in Colombia, this research marks the first analysis of its prevalence in the municipality of Samaca in Boyacá. This study aims to ascertain the overload prevalence of caregiver overload syndrome and its correlation with sociodemographic factors and family functionality. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative design, the study involved a sample consisted of 59 family caregivers, who were assessed for the degree of overload using the Zarit instrument. Correlation analysis and general linear models that were employed, with model evaluation conducted through 1000 replications in a bootstrap of the best dredge model. Results revealed a prevalence of overload syndrome at 72%, which was associated with marital status, family support, and the level of dependency of the care recipient. Of note, 91.5% of caregivers were women with incomplete schooling, low income, and lacking guidance on self-care or caregiving. These findings underscore the little attention paid to caregiver overload syndrome, its significant impact on perceived health, and its correlation with various sociodemographic factors. The study highlights the urgent need for tailored support for this caregiver population, emphasizing a differential approach and deeper exploration of sociocultural influences contributing to the high prevalence of overload.

This study adapted the Conflict Resolution Styles Inventory (CRSI) for the Brazilian context and assessed its psychometric adequacy. In Study 1, the Brazilian version was developed and content validity was analyzed by experts (N = 4) with semantic adequacy assessed in a pilot study with adolescents (N = 15). In Study 2, psychometric properties were examined in a sample of adolescents (N = 276), providing evidence of internal validity and reliability. Study 3 further investigated evidence of internal validity and reliability in a new sample (N = 224). Results indicated that the CRSI exhibits content validity, internal validity, and reliability, making it suitable for assessing conflict resolution strategies employed by Brazilian adolescents in disagreements with their parents, enabling its use in related research.

This study aimed to describe the characteristics of the social networks of older adults and to assess associations between social support, functional capacity and mental health. The sample consisted of 134 community-dwelling older adults, assessed in terms of their social network through the Minimum Map of Older Adult Relationships; functional capacity for performance in activities of daily living; depressive symptoms, assessed through the Geriatric Depression Scale and; anxiety, assessed through the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Cluster analyses were performed. The social network was characterized by being informal, functioning as affective support that occurs through visits. Social support perceived as insufficient was more frequent in men, in those who were dependent regarding instrumental activities of daily living, and in those with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Reduced social support networks and lack of support were associated with limitations in functional capacity and worse mental health, sparking debate about the centrality of the family in the provision of support.

Este estudio tuvo el objetivo de comprender la configuración de las subjetividades en un grupo de niños y niñas entre 8 y 11 años de la Institución Educativa Rural Estación Cocorná (Antioquia), a partir de las emociones vivenciadas en sus familias. La investigación fue cualitativa con un enfoque hermenéutico. Las técnicas empleadas fueron entrevistas abiertas a diez cuidadores, narrativas y observaciones participantes a diez niños y niñas. Los resultados permitieron evidenciar como las emociones atraviesan las diversas experiencias sustentadas en prácticas de crianza y de cuidado, hacen parte del despliegue de las subjetividades individuales y sociales. Como conclusión se establece que las emociones tienen una relación directa con la consolidación de las subjetividades; en tanto, a partir de estas se devela lo que a los niños y a las niñas les interesa en la correspondencia con su entorno, cómo interpretan el mundo y cómo se enfrentan a las situaciones cotidianas.

Objetivo: examinar las repercusiones de la pandemia en el sistema familiar enfocándose en la perspectiva de familiares que han contraído y padecido COVID-19. Método: estudio exploratorio de enfoque cualitativo realizado con 27 personas que tuvieron COVID-19. Los datos se recolectaron por medio de entrevistas telefónicas que se grabaron en audio y estuvieron guiadas por un instrumento semiestructurado. El análisis se basó en un proceso inductivo respaldado por Análisis Temático Reflexivo. Resultados: la pandemia y el hecho de que un familiar contrajera la enfermedad fueron fuerzas impulsoras que generaron movilizaciones nuevas e intensas en el sistema familiar. Inicialmente, notaron repercusiones negativas como preocupaciones, temor, angustia, estrés, distanciamiento y aislamiento social. Con el paso del tiempo y empleando tecnologías para facilitar la comunicación, comenzaron a percibir repercusiones positivas como más cercanía, fortalecimiento de vínculos, desarrollo de nuevos roles y cuidado mutuo. Las familias también identificaron que recuperaban una posición de equilibrio, con retorno de cierto reajuste en la dinámica y el funcionamiento familiar. Conclusión: los profesionales de la salud deben admitir que la enfermedad por COVID-19 ha generado repercusiones en los sistemas familiares, además de proponer intervenciones que ayuden a las familias a hacer frente a este momento y a recuperar más fácilmente una posición de equilibrio para su buen funcionamiento.

Objetivo. Identificar la relación entre el funcionamiento familiar y la presencia de ansiedad, depresión y estrés en los adultos mayores de Santo Domingo de los Colorados (Ecuador). Métodos. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un paradigma de investigación cuantitativo, de alcance correlacional y diseño transversal. La muestra de estudio estuvo conformada por 384 adultos mayores de Santo Domingo de los Colorados, a quienes se les aplicó una encuesta compuesta por 32 preguntas. Cinco preguntas midieron los aspectos demográficos de los participantes, 21 midieron los niveles de salud mental (DASS 21) y 5 la funcionalidad familiar (APGAR). Para medir la confabilidad del instrumento se usó pruebas alfa de Cronbach y para el análisis de los datos fueron desarrolladas tablas de contingencia de datos cruzados, pruebas de normalidad y análisis correlacionales bivariados. Todos estos análisis fueron desarrollados a través de SPSS21. Resultados. El estudio permitió evidenciar que el 92 % de los encuestados viven dentro de familias funcionales. Sin embargo, el 47,9 % presentó prevalencia de ansiedad (-,190** p < 0,05), el 33,3% depresión (-,246** p < 0,05) y el 29,4% estrés (-,139** p < 0,05), en los adultos mayores de Santo Domingo de los Colorados. Conclusiones. La funcionalidad familiar influye de manera inversa dentro de la salud mental de los adultos mayores, de lo que se infere que, a mayor funcionalidad familiar, menor es la presencia de ansiedad, depresión y estrés.

The deprivation of liberty of adolescents interferes on possibilities of contact and communication towards the environment outside the institution, as it represents the deprivation of freedom of adolescents who are complying with it. This article, from a perspective of socio-historical psychology, is intended to bring out reflections upon meanings attributed to the meetings enabled by inmate visitations they receive from their families in the unit. Ten participants were part of this study, five of them adolescents and five family members. From a qualitative perspective, with the usage of Multiple Case Report and data collection through semi-structured interviews and documentary research, it was understood that inmate visitations are extremely significant meetings for both adolescents and their families. Results showed contradictory feelings full of an affection strength during the visitations. Therefore, it is emphasized that such moments enable possibilities of resignification of relational experiences, which is a great potential for professional actions in socio-educational institutions, given the importance attributed by the participants of this research.
