Relationship Between Social Adaptation Self-Evaluation and Suicide Risk in Patients with Schizophrenia

Background: the lack of data on the relationship between the level of social adaptation as a complex of macro- and microsocial factors with suicide risk in patients with schizophrenia determines the relevance of this study. Aim: to investigate the relationship between social adaptation self-evaluation and suicide risk in patients with schizophrenia. Patients and methods: we examined 68 patients with schizophrenia. Suicide risk was evaluated using the Beck Hopelessness Scale, the level of social adaptation was assessed using the Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale. An assessment of clinical and psychopathological symptoms was performed using the PANSS. Results: the level of hopelessness was higher in the group with a low level of social adaptation self-evaluation than in the group with a high level of social adaptation self-evaluation. However, the groups were comparable for a number of objective indicators of social adaptation (such as education level, marital status, social status). Conclusions: it can be assumed that hopelessness and suicide risk more depend not on the level of social adaptation, but on the subjective experience of the level of adaptation as low or high.

Quality of life and indicators of social adaptation in patients with congenital hydronephrosis

Purpose of the study : to study the quality of life, motivational orientation and frustration reactions in patients with congenital hydronephrosis. Quality of life is understood as an integral indicator of living space, personal, subject, professional potential, human health. Materials and methods . The study involved 30 patients aged 13–24 years old who underwent plastic repair of the Priyolan’s segment according to the Heines – Anderson – Kuchera. To study the quality of life, two types of criteria were used: psychodiagnostic (SF-36 questionnaire, assessment of the severity of success motivation S. Shapkin, Rosenzweig test of frustration) and medical (intravenous infusion urography, ultrasound of the urinary system (MFR), computed tomography, radioisotope methods). Results . The data obtained suggests that pronounced pain syndrome significantly reduces the quality of life of patients with congenital hydronephrosis, also reduces the overall indicator of positive emotions, the mood is characterized as anxious and depressive. Conclusion . Anomalies of the urinary system lead to a pronounced violation of the patient's quality of life and his social adaptation. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the pronounced pain syndrome reduces the quality of life of patients, and health limits the exercise of physical activity, daily and professional activities. Also reduced overall positive emotions. In 50% of patients, the motivational orientation is not balanced in terms of avoiding failures and achieving success. A high frequency of extrapunitive frustration reactions was found. All these factors greatly impede the social adaptation of the patient.

Gender aspects of medico-social adaptation in adults with early onset of epilepsy

To study the relationship between indicators of clinical picture and social adaptation in idiopathic and symptomatic epilepsies with onset before adulthood depending on patient's gender. The cross-sectional study was carried out. The study group included 212 women and 171 men, aged 24-60 years, with confirmed diagnosis of epilepsy with onset before 18 years. Seventy-three patients were diagnosed with symptomatic epilepsy, 310 with idiopathic epilepsy. In 120 patients, the frequency of seizures was rarer than once a year. All patients had secondary education and were on treatment with antiepileptic drugs. In symptomatic epilepsy with early onset, gender differences in family and educational status were not identified. Regardless of gender, patients with myoclonus had higher education more frequently than patients with absence and tonic-clonic seizures. Patients with the combination of different types of seizures, irrespective from etiology and gender, had secondary education more frequently. Women with rare generalized seizures more frequently had higher education and were married. Unmarried men with rare generalized seizures lived separately from their relatives more frequently. To author's opinion, the contradiction in indicators of social adaptation in men with rare generalized seizures, to the great extent, is related to the phenomenon of self-stigmatization than to the influence of disease. The results can be used in rehabilitation of patients with idiopathic epilepsy syndromes.

SOCIJALNE KARAKTERISTIKE DECE KOJA USPOSTAVLJAJU PRIJATELJSKE DIJADE

Uspostavljanje prijateljske dijade predstavlja razvojni zadatak dece i indikator je socijalne adaptacije koja ima relevantnu ulogu u celokupnom razvoju individue. S obzirom na to da je prijateljstvo, pre svega, socijalni odnos, ovo istraživanje se bavilo pitanjem da li postoje razlike u socijalnim karakteristikama dece sa i bez prijatelja na ranom osnovnoškolskom uzrastu. Kao relevantne varijable po kojima bi se razlikovala deca koja imaju prijatelja i deca koja nemaju prijatelja, uzete su prosocijalno ponašanje, socijalna prihvaćenost i socijalni uticaj koji ujedno predstavljaju indikatore socijalne adaptacije. Uzorak se sastojao od 101 deteta, koja su podeljena u dve grupe (deca koja imaju prijatelja = 54; deca koja nemaju prijatelja = 47). Razdvajanje dece u grupe koje imaju i koje nemaju prijatelja je izvršeno na osnovu sociometrijskog postupka. Pored sociometrijskog postupka, primenjena je i Skala procene prosocijalnog ponašanja ‒ forma za učiteljice. Rezultati pokazuju da postoji statistički značajna razlika između dve grupe dece po pitanju svih indikatora socijalne adaptacije. Rezultati ukazuju da deca koja imaju prijatelja ranije ispunjavaju razvojni zadatak formiranje prijateljske dijade i pokazuju viši stepen socijalne adaptacije.

La relación educativa en la escuela primaria: tendencias agresivas y comportamientos prosociales.

The general objective of this work is to analyze how pupils’ aggressive tendencies and pro-social behaviour can influence the perception of a given educative relationship, both from the point of view of the pupil and of the teacher. This study shall focus particularly on aggressive tendencies and pro-social behaviour envisaged as indicators of social adaptation’s capability. The research has been conducted on a sample of 249 pupils and 30 teachers, belonging to 15 primary school classes in the province of Turin. Both teachers and pupils agree that children with difficulties of social adaptation appear to maintain less positive relationships: their lower pro-social behaviour matches lack of closeness in relationships and the increase of affective distance within them. Moreover, augmented aggressive tendencies have been discovered among pupils with higher levels of conflict. This research shall highlight how the social and anti-social modalities of interaction of a child may influence a teacher’s perception of their relationship, much more than the pupil’s evaluation of his or hers cognitive abilities. For what concerns the association between relationship and capability of adaptation, it shall be first shown how the pupil tends to view himself or herself as a more or less pro-social and antisocial individual; then, how such perception influences the pupil’s connection with the teacher. At the same time, it shall be given evidence of how the teacher tends to judge the bond with a pupil on the basis of the mental image he or she has created of the child and of which the child may not be entirely aware. Key words: Educative relationship, teacher-pupil, aggressiveness, pro-social behaviour.
