Data were collected by administering the Emotional Competence Scale for Secondary School Pupils (Rekha & Salim Kumar, 2015) and the Socio-Economic Status Scale (Usha & Vijayan, 2014). Chi-square test of association was employed to analyse the data inferentially. The result revealed the presence of significant association between SES of the family and emotional competence in total and two of the constituent factors of EC, viz., self-awareness and relationship management

A percepção das pessoas com deficiência sobre o trabalho e a Lei de Cotas: uma revisão da literatura / The perception of people with disabilities about work and the Law of Quotas: a literature review

Resumo A inclusão de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho foi possível mediante legislações de reserva de vagas, embora ainda seja insuficiente oferecer emprego sem disponibilizar condições de acessibilidade. É relevante investigar as possibilidades e os desafios da inserção da pessoa com deficiência no trabalho, mas poucos estudos partem da sua percepção. Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender como os periódicos brasileiros da Saúde Coletiva de Qualis CAPES acima de B2 estão abordando a percepção das pessoas com deficiência e a influência da Lei de Cotas sobre a inclusão no trabalho. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico, do tipo revisão de literatura. Percebe-se que a intersecção entre os estudos sobre deficiência e os estudos sobre o trabalho adentra a saúde coletiva como um tema emergente. A partir da leitura e análise dos artigos, foram criadas quatro categorias: deficiência como desvantagem e restrição de participação; cotas para pessoas com deficiência; percepção da pessoa com deficiência sobre o trabalho e medidas de inclusão social no trabalho. Ainda há muito a se avançar de modo que a extinção de barreiras não esteja somente pautada na organização, na legislação, na educação, mas essencialmente no campo da ideologia, da política e da sociedade.

Abstract The inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market was possible through legislation reserving vacancies, however, it is still insufficient to offer employment without providing accessibility conditions. It is relevant to investigate the possibilities and the challenges of the insertion of the disabled person in the work, but few studies depart from their perception. This study aims to understand how the Brazilian journals of Collective Health of Qualis CAPES above B2 are addressing the perception of people with disabilities and the influence of the Law of Quotas on inclusion in work. This is a bibliographical study, like literature review. It is perceived that the intersection between the studies on disability and studies on the work enters Collective Health as an emergent subject. From the reading and analysis of the articles, four categories were created: disability as a disadvantage and restriction of participation; quotas for people with disabilities; the perception of the disabled person about work and social inclusion measures at work. There is still a long way to go so that the elimination of barriers is not only based on organization, legislation, education, but essentially in the field of ideology, politics and society.

Uma terceira via para a gente aprender as coisas femininas: perspectivas sobre o desenvolvimento de um projeto de promoção de saúde e cidadania de meninas / A third way to learn about female things: perspectives on the development of a project for the promotion of health and social awareness among girls / Un tercer camino para aprender las cosas femeninas: perspectivas sobre el desarrollo de un proyecto de promoción de salud e ciudadanía de niñas

O estudo teve como objetivo identificar as percepções de meninas e seus familiares sobre o Programa Univali Mulher. O Univali Mulher visa à promoção da saúde, é voltado para meninas de duas escolas de Itajaí/SC e objetiva prevenir a violência contra a mulher e fortalecer/promover seu empoderamento por meio de um processo dialógico de ensino. Trabalhando com a abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, os dados foram levantados por três meios distintos (análise de relatórios, observações e entrevistas semiestruturadas). Pode-se extrair que o Programa significa um meio extraclasse de educação que propicia a formação de um grupo com vinculo afetivo, cujas atividades representam um momento expressivo e libertador, porém, regulador de comportamentos "desajustados", não logrando, assim, a plenitude do processo de empoderamento.

The objective of this research was to identify the perceptions of girls and their families in relation to Programa Univali Mulher (Univali Women's Program). The program, which aims at promoting health, focuses on girls of two schools in the city of Itajaí, southern Brazil, with the proposal of preventing violence against women and promoting their empowerment through a dialogic teaching process. The qualitative methodology was used in this research, with data collected from three sources: analysis of reports, observation, and semi-structured interviews. It can be concluded that the Program is a means of education which goes beyond the classroom, enabling the formation of a group of girls in which friendship is established, and whose activities represent an expressive and liberating phase of their lives. However, it also regulates inappropriate behaviors, thus preventing the girls from fully benefiting from this process of empowerment.

El estudio ha tenido como objetivo el de identificar las percepciones de niñas y sus familiares sobre el Programa Univali Mujer. El Univali Mujer trata de la promoción de la salud, se dirige a las niñas de los escuelas de Itajaí en el estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil, y objetiva prevenir la violencia contra la mujer fortaleciendo y promoviendo su apoderamiento por medio de un proceso dialógico de enseñanza. Trabajando con un planteamiento cualitativo de investigación, los datos se han obtenido por tres medios distintos (análisis de informes, observaciones y entrevistas semi-estructuradas). Se puede observar que el Programa significa un medio extra-clase de educación que propicia la formación de un grupo con vínculo afectivo cuyas actividades representan un momento expresivo y libertador aunque regulador de comportamientos "desajustados", no logrando así la plenitud del proceso de apoderamiento.

La universidad: ¿Un escenario para transformar la conciencia social de los profesionales? / Is the university a scenario to transform social awareness on professionals?

En el presente trabajo comparto algunas propuestas que nos permiten reflexionar sobre la misión de la universidad y vindicar el papel que cumple como institución formadora de sujetos con conciencia social, firmes valores humanos que respeten, promuevan y los hagan evidentes en todos y cada uno de sus actos, que no sólo respondan a las necesidades del mundo laboral sino que asuman nuevos retos y jalonen crecimiento, desarrollo y transformación social, política, económica, técnica y científica a nivel local, regional y mundial. Así lo han hecho nuestras universidades durante el siglo XX, permitiendo el avance y desarrollo de Colombia en las urbes, en las regiones e incluso aportando cerebros brillantes a otras naciones. El trabajo desarrolla dos temas: 1) las enseñanzas pedagógicas y epistemológicas de Platón y 2) el analfabetismo científico en que ha caído la formación universitaria. Para finalizar relaciono estos temas con la formación de profesionales de enfermería, cómo se debe trasformar la educación universitaria y la influencia en el actual enfermero para que sea evidente a través del ser, conocer y saber hacer.

In the present work I share some proposals which allow us to meditate on the mission of the university and to recover the role it accomplishes as an institution to prepare subjects with social awareness, sound human values which they respect, encourage and make evident in each and every one of their actions, which not only satisfy the needs of the labor world but also assume new challenges and bring about growth, development and social, political, economic, technical and scientific transformation at local, regional and global levels. This has been achieved by our universities during the 20th century, allowing advance and development of Colombia throughout cities, regions and even has contributed with brilliant minds to other nations. Two topics are developed in this work: 1) the pedagogic and epistemologic teachings of Plato and 2) the scientific illiteracy in which university education has fallen into. Last, I relate these topics with the training of nursing professionals, how should university education must be transformed and its influence on the current nurse in order to be evident through being, understanding and knowing how.
