Impacto de um programa de competências parentais no stress e competências de atenção plena / Impacto de un programa de competencias parentales en el estrés y en competencias de atención plena / Effects of a parenting education program on parenting skills, parenting stress, and mindfulness skills

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar o impacto da frequência do Adults and Children Together Raising Safe Kids (ACT-RSK) Programe nas competências parentais, no stress parental e nas competências de atenção plena, de um grupo de pais de crianças. Métodos: Realizou-se uma investigação-ação, utilizando um pré e pós-teste, tendo por referência a implementação do programa ACT-RSK, em 8 sessões de 90 minutos com periodicidade semanal, numa amostra de 22 pais da região Centro de Portugal. Utilizaram-se os questionários do Programa ACT-RSK, o Índice de Stress Parental, a Escala de Mindfulness Interpessoal na Parentalidade e um questionário sociodemográfico. A análise descritiva e inferencial ( Wilcoxon ) foi realizada com recurso ao Statistical Package fos Social Sciences (SPSS - IBM 24), com grau de confiança de 95%. Resultados: Os participantes melhoraram, do pré para pós-teste, nas 4 dimensões do programa: estilos parentais (M=36.32±6.61 vs. M=48.50±4.31; p<0.01); meios de comunicação (M=24.73±3.90 vs. M=30.73±2.90; p≤0.01); desenvolvimento infantil (M=55.18±11.82 vs. M=73.55±4.04; p≤0.01); e comportamento dos pais (M=34.23±7.83 vs. M=43.05±2.81; p≤0.01). Destacam-se, igualmente, melhorias consideráveis nos resultados da Escala de Mindfulness Interpessoal na Parentalidade (Z=-3.929, p=0.000) e no stress parental, que desceu do nível muito elevado (91.59) para o nível médio (74.45). Conclusão: Constata-se o impacto positivo do ACT-RSK na melhoria das variáveis estudadas.

Resumen Objetivo: Analizar el impacto de la frecuencia del Adults and Children Together Raising Safe Kids (ACT-RSK) Programe en las competencias parentales, en el estrés parental y en las competencias de atención plena de un grupo de padres de niños. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación-acción utilizando un pretest y postest en la implementación del programa ACT-RSK, en 8 sesiones de 90 minutos con frecuencia semanal, en una muestra de 22 padres de la región Centro de Portugal. Se utilizaron los cuestionarios del programa ACT-RSK, el Índice de Estrés Parental, la Escala de Mindfulness Interpersonal en la Paternidad y un cuestionario sociodemográfico. El análisis descriptivo e inferencial ( Wilcoxon ) fue realizado con el Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS - IBM 24), con nivel de confianza de 95 %. Resultados: Del pretest al postest, los participantes demostraron una mejora en las cuatro dimensiones del programa: estilos parentales (M=36,32±6,61 vs. M=48,50±4,31; p<0,01); medios de comunicación (M=24,73±3,90 vs. M=30,73±2,90; p≤0,01); desarrollo infantil (M=55,18±11,82 vs. M=73,55±4,04; p≤0,01); y comportamiento de los padres (M=34,23±7,83 vs. M=43,05±2,81; p≤0,01). Además, se destacan mejoras considerables en los resultados de la Escala de Mindfulness Interpersonal en la Paternidad (Z=-3,929, p=0,000) y el en estrés parental, que se redujo de un nivel muy elevado (91,59) a un nivel medio (74,45).

Abstract Objective: To analyze the impact of the Adults and Children Together Raising Safe Kids (ACT-RSK) Program in parenting skills, parenting stress, and mindfulness skills in a group of parents and children. Methods: This investigative intervention was based on the application of a pre-test and a post-test before and after the implementation of the ACT-RSK Program. The program consisted of eight weekly 90-minute sessions conducted with a sample of 22 parents from Central Portugal. The ACT-RSK Program questionnaires, Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting (IM-P) scale, and a socio-demographic questionnaire were used. A descriptive and inferential analysis (Wilcoxon) was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS, v. 24) with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Participants showed improvement from pre-test to post-test in all four program dimensions: Parenting Style (M=36.32±6.61 vs. M=48.50±4.31; p<0.01); Electronic Media (M=24.73±3.90 vs. M=30.73±2.90; p≤0.01); Child Development (M=55.18±11.82 vs. M=73.55±4.04; p≤0.01); and Parental Behavior (M=34.23±7.83 vs. M=43.05±2.81; p≤0.01). Likewise, significant improvement was seen in the Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting (IM-P) scale's results (Z=-3.929, p=0.000) and in parenting stress, which decreased from a very high (91.59) to a medium level (74.45). Conclusion: Data show the ACT-RSK had a positive effect and improved study variables.

Choque cardiogênico, evolução clínica imediata e seguimento / Cardiogenic shock, imediate evolution and late outcome

The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of patients admitted in an intensive care unit with doagnosis of cardiogenic shock. It used a rigorous diagnosis protocol evaluation and it analyzed the evolution in hospital and late outcomes. The patients were going divided into two groups. The first constituted of patients with coronary acute disease and the second for patients with cardiomyopathy. The hospital mortality was similar in the two groups. The patients with coronary artery disease submitted to revascularization procedures had a better long-term evolution. The patients with myocardiopathy had high mortality rate at the end of a year
