DEVELOPMENT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS

The goal of the article is to substantiating the program of psychological follow-up for the development of the emotional intelligence in primary school pupils in the educational process of primary school and analyzing the results of its empirical approbation. In order to verify the effectiveness of the elaborated program we have conducted a forming experiment and carried out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the obtained results using the methods of mathematical statistics. 72 pupils (grade 4)were participated in the forming experiment, who were included in the experimental (n=36) andcontrol groups (n=36). It was the same number of boys (18 people) and girls (18 people) in each of them, who had a low and an average levels of emotional intelligence. Diagnostic of the development of emotional intelligence of primary school pupils was carrying out with the help of the questionnaire «EmIn» by D. V. Liusin (Lyusin, 2006). After implementation of the program of psychological follow-up of the development of emotional intelligence in the pupils of the experimental group occurs not only an increase of its general level of the development, but also there are positive changes in its structural components and their indicators. The dynamics of the development of the types of emotional intelligence of primary school pupils after the forming experiment shows, on the one hand, the growth of the internal balance of its structural components, on the other – confirms our assumption about the possibility of its development in general. A developed author's program of psychological follow-up of the development of emotional intelligence of primary school pupils can be used by school psychologists, primary school teachers, parents in order to form the emotional competence of children and ensure the success of pedagogical interaction with pupils.

Psychological follow-up and its perception in civilians involved in the January 2015 terrorist attack in Paris, France

Abstract Background A terrorist attack occurred in Paris in January 2015 against the staffs of the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher grocery. This study examined the psychological follow-up and the non-satisfaction of the people civilians involved in the terrorist attacks. Methods The IMPACTS survey, an open cohort study of civilians involved in the terrorist attacks was conducted 6-10 (wave 1) and 18-22 months (wave 2) after the attacks. Psychologists interviewed in face-to-face 190 civilians in wave 1 and 123 of them participate to the wave 2. A questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, exposure level, social support, psychological support and perception, impact on work and social functioning, and mental health disorders. Results In wave 1 (N = 190), 24% of participants had initiated a regular follow-up with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Reasons of non-follow-up were: they had refused because they did not feel the need or they did not want to talk about it (60%), it was not suggested to them (30%), or they have already had a follow-up before (12%). In wave 2 (N = 123), 25% had a regular follow-up with a psychologist/psychiatrist since the events, 22.0% had had a follow-up but not anymore in wave 2, 15% did not have a follow-up in wave 1 but they had in wave 2 and 38.2% never had. Psychological aid from professionals for resilience has not been appropriate for 32% of the participants at 6 months and for 39% at 18 months. In both waves, non-satisfaction of follow-up was more frequent among witnesses than with those who were directly exposed. Conclusions Six months after the January 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, among the participants without psychological follow-up, it was not offered to nearly a third of participants. In order to enhance resilience, psychological aid should also be provided to those who have not been directly exposed. Main message Psychological follow-up should be provided to all civilians in short and long-term.

Psychological support in short term after the January 2015 terrorist attack in Paris, France

Abstract Background A terrorist attack occurred in Paris in January 2015 against the staffs of the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher grocery. This study examined psychological support given to the people directly exposed, witnesses and close relatives of those who were injured, hostages or died. Methods The IMPACTS survey was an open cohort lead in 2 waves (6 and 18 months after the events). Psychologists interviewed in face-to-face 190 civilians in wave 1. A questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, exposure level, psychological and social support, impact on work and social functioning, and mental health disorders. Results Among the 190 participants in wave 1, 24.3% did not receive psychological support neither in 48 hours, between 2 and 7 days, and after 1 week. Among those who had received support, they had a contact in average with 3 institutions or associations. Within the 48 hours, psychological support was mainly provided by Medico-psychological emergency unit (CUMP) (45.2%). Between 2 and 7 days, CUMP (42.6%) and a Parisian hospital in specialized care unit for trauma (44.6%) had mainly offered psychological support. One week after events, psychological support was mainly provided by consultation in specialized care unit for trauma (41.4%) or in ambulatory (27.6%). Lack of psychological support was more frequent among men, unemployed, and witnesses (versus those who were directly exposed). Conclusions This study suggests offering psychological support to the whole population that have been potentially impacted, and also for those who had not been directly threatened. Long-term psychological follow-up of the most affected ones remains an objective to consolidate initial care. Main message: Psychological follow-up should be provided not only to threatened people but also to the most vulnerable people (unemployed).

AUTOESTIMA E ASPECTOS SOCIOEMOCIONAIS EM PACIENTES DE CIRURGIA ORTOGNÁTICA: PROPOSTAS DE ANÁLISE PSICOLÓGICA

A pesquisa objetivou investigar a autoestima e os aspectos socioemocionais de pacientes com deformidades dentofaciais submetidos à cirurgia ortognática. Disponibilizamos um questionário da plataforma Google Docs em um grupo de uma rede social composto por pessoas com interesses em comum no tema. Houve 120 respostas no total e, em geral, elas revelaram que houve aumento de autoestima nos pacientes (média geral subiu de 4,58 para 8,33) e melhora significativa em fatores funcionais, sociais e psicológicos. Contudo, existe a possibilidade de frustração para alguns sujeitos submetidos ao procedimento, oriundo das expectativas perante a cirurgia, especialmente no âmbito estético. A cirurgia ortognática é uma alternativa considerável no tratamento de deformidades dentofaciais e de seus agravos, porém, diante da pluralidade de resultados e reações, infere-se a importância de acompanhamento psicológico no pré e pós-cirúrgico, como forma de preparo para a cirurgia e de adaptação aos resultados do procedimento.

On the creation of a model of psychological and pedagogical support positive parenting

Introduction: the implementation of the National Strategy for the Development of Education in the Russian Federation requires generalization of the experience gained with working with the family; development of new forms, methods, methods and technologies of work with parents (legal representatives) of children of different ages; consolidation of efforts of various civil society institutions and agencies at the federal, regional and municipal levels. The relevance of this article is also determined by a number of contradictions that prove the importance of the problem under consideration, the need to develop and introduce into practice a model of psychological and pedagogical follow-up for positive parenthood, among them: b) there is a weak differentiation of the image “I am a mother”, i.e. on the one hand, motherhood is recognized as a value, on the other hand, a low reflective level of motherhood is found; c) modern studies do not provide sufficient information on the questions on the psychology of parenthood; about the father’s role in the family, his influence on the formation of the child’s personality, the significance of fatherhood for the man himself.Materials and methods: The research methods of this article are determined by the specifics of the research topic. The article uses methods of theoretical research (analysis, synthesis, synthesis, comparison, etc.), the study of well-known research papers on the problem under consideration; psychological modeling (building a model of psychological and pedagogical follow-up of positive parenthood).Results: Nowadays, domestic and foreign psychological and pedagogical science and practice provide many different kinds of models of work with the family, which are grouped into three subgroups: models of support and follow-up; tracking models; combined models.Discussion and Conclusions. The conducted research within the framework of the ideologies under review has defined conceptual provisions that allowed creating a model of working with parents (legal representatives) of children, influencing the increase in the general culture level of parents (legal representatives) and future parents in matters of children's education, development of their social, communicative and psychological-pedagogical competence; actualization of the need to “become adoptive parents”; increase the professional competence of professionals working with the family.

Feasibility and acceptability of an integrated behavioral medicine service within a post–bariatric surgery clinic

BackgroundLong-term medical and psychological follow-up after weight loss surgery is associated with improved patient outcomes. Weight regain after weight loss surgery is a common concern that has behavioral and psychological components; however, most patients do not attend behavioral medicine (BMED) follow-up appointments post-surgery. Innovative treatment models are needed to improve access to BMED to optimize long-term outcomes. ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of an integrated BMED service within a bariatric surgery clinic. SettingUniversity medical center, outpatient clinic. MethodsPatients (n = 198) in a post–bariatric surgery clinic were screened for psychosocial/behavioral concerns and offered a same-day BMED consult, when appropriate. Patients rated their satisfaction with the consult and their confidence in being able to carry out the plan created during the consult. ResultsThe top 3 concerns identified during screenings were emotional eating, body image, and cravings. The top 3 concerns addressed during consults were emotional eating, mood, and cravings. The mean length of consult was 26.1 minutes. The mean severity of problems addressed was 7 of 10. Patients’ confidence ratings had a mean of 9.4 of 10 (1 = low, 10 = high) and satisfaction ratings had a mean of 9.8 of 10. ConclusionsIn this clinic, the integration of a BMED service provided 40% of patients with behavioral intervention for psychosocial/behavioral concerns during routine surgery follow-up appointments. Patients indicated high satisfaction with consults and reported high confidence in being able to carry out the plan created during the consult.

PROMOVENDO INSTITUIÇÕES EFICAZES, CENAS DA UNIDADE DE TERAPIA INTENSIVA: a morte e o morrer, sob o olhar do profissional de enfermagem

Objective: to know from the experiences lived in intensive health care environments, as the nursing professionals deal with death. Method: This is a cross-sectional qualitative cross-sectional study, with nursing professionals currently working in intensive environments. Results: Study showed that of the 6 (six) participants, all need attention to the overload of mourning; however, three (3) of the participants had indicators that indicate the need for care indicating a little more intense presence. Considerations: It is necessary to provide a psychological follow-up for nurses working in the ICUs and for nursing undergraduate colleges to invest in curricular grades that allow the preparation of the academic to live within the hospital environment, thus allowing for discussions on the theme of death and dying of patients.

Pycnodysostosis: Natural history and management guidelines from 27 French cases and a literature review.

Pycnodysostosis is a lysosomal autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis, short stature, acro-osteolysis, facial features and an increased risk of fractures. The clinical heterogeneity of the disease and its rarity make it difficult to provide patients an accurate prognosis, as well as appropriate care and follow-up. French physicians from the OSCAR network have been asked to fill out questionnaires collecting molecular and clinical data for 27 patients issued from 17 unrelated families. All patients showed short stature (mean = -3.5 SD) which was more severe in females (P = .006). The mean fracture rate was moderate (0.21 per year), with four fractures in total average. About 75% underwent at least one surgery, with an average number of 2.1 interventions per patient. About 50% required non-invasive assisted ventilation due to sleep apnea (67%). About 29% showed psychomotor difficulties and 33% needed a school assistant or adapted schooling. No patient had any psychological evaluation or follow-up. Molecular data were available for 14 families. Growth hormone administration was efficient on linear growth in 40% of cases. We propose several axis of management, such as systematic cerebral MRI for Chiari malformation screening at diagnosis and regular psychological follow-up.

Impact of alexithymia on glycemic control among Lebanese adults with type 2 diabetes.

Alexithymia, defined as the inability of a person to identify, describe and express emotions, has been found to influence glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients (D2). The characteristics and influencing factors of alexithymia and the association of this psychological construct with D2 has not yet been studied in Lebanon where 14.6% of adults are diagnosed with the disease. This study aims at evaluating the prevalence of alexithymia and its relationship with glycemic control among Lebanese adults with D2. Alexithymia was assessed in 104 patients diagnosed with D2 and 100 healthy controls using the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). The impact of alexithymia on glycemic control was evaluated using HbA1c values, fasting blood glucose levels, number of severe hyperglycemic episodes and hospitalizations for hyperglycemia within the past months. Alexithymia prevalence was significantly higher in D2 patients compared to controls (35.5% vs 15%). Patients with alexithymia showed higher levels of HbA1c and glucose in comparison to those without alexithymia. Consistently, significant positive correlations were found between the TAS-20 total and subscale scores and both HbA1c and glucose levels. Alexithymic patients had three times more severe hyperglycemic episodes and five times more hospitalizations for hyperglycemia compared to those without alexithymia. According to multivariate regression analysis, lifestyle factors alone were not found predictive of alexithymia in D2 patients. Given the impact of alexithymia on D2 regulation, screening of alexithymia in case of D2 and appropriate psychological follow-up are important for a better prognosis, management and treatment of the disease.

Self-Reported Anxiety, Depression and Coping in Parents of Children with Phenylketonuria

Limited published research has evaluated mental health in parents of children with phenylketonuria (PKU) and their coping strategies. We aimed to assess anxiety, depression and coping in parents of Tunisian children treated for PKU. We conducted a cross-sectional study in the reference center for the management of inherited metabolic diseases in Tunisia. We used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale and the Brief-COPE. Dependent variables were anxiety, depression, HAD Depression (HADD) and Anxiety (HADA) scores, and coping scores. Linear regression and logistic binary regression were used for multivariate analysis. Sixty-five parents from 42 families participated. 62% and 57% of them had anxiety and depression, respectively. Parental female gender (p = 0.049), rural origin (p = 0.005) and agitation in children with PKU (p = 0.031) were associated with anxiety. Parental age under 35 years (p = 0.043), agitation in children with PKU (p = 0.012) and behavioral disengagement (p = 0.003) were associated with higher HADA scores. Parents used problem focused (5.64 ± 1.34) more often than emotion focused coping (4.55 ± 0.90). Female gender was associated with emotion-focused coping (p = 0.042) and religion (p = 0.018). Motor disability in children with PKU was associated with humor (p = 0.047) and negatively associated with religion (p = 0.037). Psychological follow-up was associated with venting (p = 0.039). A low education level was negatively associated with self-blame (p = 0.024). Our study provided preliminary data which could be used to develop a targeted psychological support strategy for parents at risk for anxiety and depression not only in Tunisia but also in comparable populations where newborn screening for PKU is not available.

Implementation of a protocol and staff educational sessions improves the care of survivors of sexual assault

ObjectiveWe previously conducted an audit of the care provided for survivors of sexual violence seen at our emergency department and observed that 90% of them did not receive optimal care. This study analysed whether the implementation of a new protocol and educational sessions for staff increased the proportion of such patients who received optimal medical care. MethodsA computerized chart detailing a new care protocol was developed specifically for rape survivors. Educational sessions focusing on the use of the new protocol were organized for healthcare providers. We then conducted another audit that reviewed retrospectively the charts of all survivors of sexual violence who were cared for at a public university hospital. Main outcome measureOptimal medical care was defined as including systematic investigations for sexually transmitted diseases, and the provision of prophylactic antibiotics, a pregnancy test, emergency contraception, and psychological and medical follow-up. ResultsWe analysed the charts of 362 survivors of sexual violence and observed that all of the required procedures were completed for 337 patients (93%) and the required preventive measures were provided to 325 patients (90%). ConclusionAfter the implementation of the new protocol and educational sessions, the proportion of survivors who received optimal medical care increased from 10% to 90%. Nevertheless, optimal management also implies social, psychological and legal support. We hope that the establishment of specialist sexual assault centres will further improve management.

Grief reactions and coping strategies of trainee doctors working in paediatric intensive care

BackgroundThe death of a child can have significant emotional effects on doctors responsible for their care. Trainee doctors working in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) may be particularly vulnerable. The aim of this study was to examine the emotional impact of, and grief reactions to, a child’s death in PICU trainee doctors, along with coping strategies they used. MethodsIn a prospective, cross-sectional, observational study, qualitative and quantitative data were recorded on anonymised, written questionnaires. Grief severity was assessed using the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief. Emotional impact was assessed using the shortened Impact of Event Scale. The BriefCOPE tool was used to assess coping strategies. Qualitative data was analysed using conventional content analysis. Data are presented as median (inter-quartile range) or number (%). ResultsAll invited trainee doctors (23 anaesthetists; 5 paediatricians) completed the questionnaire (age, 30 [29–34] yr; 13/28 [46%] female). Two (7%) doctors experienced severe grief (Texas Revised Inventory of Grief score <39), with five (18%) doctors severely affected by the deaths as measured by the Impact of Event Scale. Qualitative analysis revealed prominent themes of sadness, helplessness, guilt, shock, and concern for the bereaved family. There was limited use of coping strategies. Speaking with another trainee doctor was the principal coping strategy. Requests for debriefing sessions, greater psychological support and follow-up with the patient’s family were frequently suggested. ConclusionsPaediatric deaths evoke significant grief and emotional reactions in a subset of PICU trainee doctors. Trainee PICU doctors highlighted a lack of professional support and tailored debriefs.

The long-term impact of cancer: Evaluating psychological distress in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors in Switzerland.

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) are diagnosed with cancer during a critical life period full of psychosocial challenges. They may experience a significant impact of the cancer diagnosis on their psychological health, also in the long term. We aimed to (a) evaluate psychological distress in AYA cancer survivors and compare levels of distress with controls and (b) describe socio-demographic and cancer-related characteristics associated with psychological distress. We sent a questionnaire to AYA cancer survivors (aged 16-25y at diagnosis, survived ≥5y) registered in the Cancer Registry Zurich and Zug, Switzerland. Psychological distress was measured using the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18) assessing anxiety, depression, and somatization and a global severity index (GSI) (cutoff score indicating psychological distress: T≥57). Distress levels were compared between survivors and controls. We used logistic regression to determine associations of socio-demographic and cancer-related characteristics with distress. Of 160 AYA cancer survivors, 34 (21%) reported being distressed (27% in women, 17% in men; P=0.129). Compared with controls, survivors did not report higher levels of distress (all P values>0.05). Survivors with migration background and survivors with late effects reported higher levels on GSI, somatization, and anxiety. Higher levels of depression were associated with being female, not being in a partnership, and having late effects. A substantial subgroup of AYA cancer survivors reported psychological distress. Systematically screening for distress and providing psychological follow-up for survivors at risk may help to provide adequate psychological support.

Innovative psychological and pedagogical technologies in teaching students of economics

The article is focused on the psychological and pedagogical teaching technologies as those having important methodological principles including not only traditional systematic, information and action-related approaches, but also psychological follow-up in teaching and learning.

PERCEPTION OF PATIENTS WITH INTESTINAL OSTOMY IN RELATION TO NUTRITIONAL AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the perceptions of people with intestinal ostomies on changes related to nutritional and lifestyle aspects. Method: exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, performed with 17 patients with intestinal ostomies, who participate in a group of ostomized in a municipality in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed based on the thematic analysis from which two categories emerged: “Change in the eating habits and nutritional profile of people with ostomy” and “living with the new”. Results: many changes that occur with the ostomized people, with body weight preferences and eating habits. There are daily situations that require adaptation to be experienced, among them: domestic tasks, sexuality, sports, work and leisure activities. The subjects who use the irrigation method presented autonomy in their daily life and see the ostomy as a new possibility in the face of the disease. Conclusion: to minimize the repercussions that occur in the lifestyle of ostomized people, there is evidence of the need for individualized nutritional and psychological follow-up and of extension in the guidelines of the professional teams that work with them, as well as the dissemination of the irrigation method to people with ostomies who are able to perform such procedure.

Sexual Experience of Women after Gynecological Hysterectomy in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital, Burkina Faso

Objective: To study the sexual experience of women after gynecological hysterectomy in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Yalgado Ouedraogo University Teaching Hospital in Burkina Faso. Patient and Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study from October 1, 2016 to March 30, 2017. It included any patient who had a gynecological indication for a hysterectomy in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Yalgado Ouedraogo University Teaching Hospital (CHU-YO) during the study period. A total of 85 patients were included. We collected information from the consultation records, clinical records, and operating room registries and by surveying the patients themselves. Result: The frequency of hysterectomy in the gynecological period was 3.9%. The mean age of the patients was 51.71 (extremes: 35 and 66 years) and the mean parity was 4.8. Married women were the majority. Fibromyoma and genital prolapse accounted for 56.47% and 23.53% respectively of operative indications. Regarding postintervention sexuality, 29.41% of women declared no longer having sexual desire. Also, they complained of vaginal dryness (31.8%), decreased frequency of orgasm (42.3%), dyspareunia (37.65). Sexual dysfunction was present in 82.35% of women. There was a statistically significant difference between global sexual functioning and geographic origin, educational attainment, socio-economic level, surgical approach, preintervention sexual counseling, women’s psychological profile and their emotional relationship with their spouses. Conclusion: The psychosexual soundness of hysterectomy is important. A diagnosis of sexual disorders prior to the intervention and psychological follow-up throughout the therapeutic process of the pathology indicative of a hysterectomy is necessary for successful postoperative sexuality.

Hedonistic Approach in the Musical-Rhythmic Competence of Future Music and Choreography Teachers

The article is dedicated to the analysis of hedonistic approach to music and rhythm competence of prospective Music and Choreography teachers. As hedonism became a focus of scholars’ active attention during the recent decade, hedonistic approach is being put forward in the article as the key one in music and rhythm competence of prospective Music and Choreography teachers. Under the current circumstances of the society’s development, the psychological follow-up of prospective Music and Choreography teachers is an important goal to attain for our country. Each personality requires individual approach; help in revealing his/her specific features; in shaping a wholesome, harmonious personality. The goal under consideration presupposes setting complicated issues for teachers and psychologists; these issues require structural, systemic and subsequent solution. The personality’s subjective welfare is not only an indicator of his/her psychic (emotional) stability, the transient (dis)adaptation states and pressure compliance resources, but also has crucial significance for perfecting the processes of a person’s overall and academic socialisation. This phenomenon requires conducting applied research as well as solving other issues. Thus, hedonistic approach to music and rhythm competence of prospective Music and Choreography teachers presupposes studying and explication. Applying a hedonistic approach to music-rhythmic competence, under appropriate pedagogical conditions, is transformed into a kind of educational and musical training, which is based on a person's need for pleasure, enjoyment and relying on a love of music education. In this way, the hedonistic approach in music education gives the process of teaching future music teachers and choreography a special appeal.Hedonistic approach to music and rhythm competence of prospective Music and Choreography teachers under the corresponding academic circumstances is being rearranged into a distinctive teaching and music training based on the prospective Music and Choreography teacher’s demand for enjoyment and delight relying on the love of music education.
