Abstract Introduction: For workers, family is an important source of psychological resources that contribute to the individual's well-being. It is hypothesized that family support is a protective factor of the person's life satisfaction, directly and through other variables such as family meals and satisfaction with family life. In this regard, the aim of this study was to examine the serial mediating role of the atmosphere of family meals and satisfaction with family life in the relationship between family support and satisfaction with life, in women and men with paid jobs. Method: The Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (family subscale), a measure of Atmosphere Scale of Family Meals and the Satisfaction with Family Life Scale were administered to a sample of 236 women and 236 men with paid jobs in Temuco, Chile. The statistical analysis considered a serial mediation model with a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Family support and satisfaction with life significantly correlated with one another. In addition, a significant indirect effect of the atmosphere of family meals and satisfaction with family life was obtained in the relationship between family support and life satisfaction. The atmosphere of family meals and satisfaction with family life are serial mediators in the relationship between family support and life satisfaction in this group of workers. Conclusions: Results suggest that variables related to the family domain and to social aspects of food consumption have a positive impact in workers' life satisfaction.

The ownership of independent NHI is influenced by the following factors: age 40-55 (PR=1.72 95%CI 1.41-2.09, p-value <0.001), Sumatra Island (PR=7.67 95%CI 5.55-10.59 p-value<0.001), very rich (PR = 2.26 95%CI 1.85-2.75 p-value <0.001), history of chronic disease (PR=1.33 95%CI 1.15-1.53 p-value<0.001), junior high school (PR = 2.21 95%CI 1.92-2.55 p-value<0.001), and urban (PR=1.79 95%CI 1.57-2.04 p-value <0.001). Region is the most dominant variable related to NHI ownership (p-value <0.001; Exp B= 7.03; 95% CI: 5.06-9.77). Independent NHI membership has not been maximal, yet. To increase this participation, the Social Security Administrator should approach each region with low NHI membership through promotion, socialization, and education about registration and the benefits of independent NHI.

The role of caregiver burden in the familial functioning, social support, and quality of family life of family caregivers of elders with dementia / Journal of Rural Medicine

Objective: The present study aimed to examine the role that caregiver burden plays in the familial functioning, social support, and quality of family life (QOFL) of caregivers of elderly family members with dementia. Methods: A survey was conducted with 200 primary caregivers of elderly dementia patients who resided in prefecture “S”. The questionnaire consisted of items that required demographic information, the Japanese versions of the Zarit Burden Inventory (ZBI) and the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES II), and scales that measure quality of family life and social support. On the basis of the median ZBI score (i.e., 30.8), participants were divided into two groups: group A (i.e., ZBI score < 30) and group B (i.e., ZBI score > 30). Stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted with QOFL as the dependent variable. Version 24 of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows was used to conduct all the statistical analyses; the statistical significance level was specified as 0.05. Results: Group A and B obtained average ZBI scores of 18.5 and 43.8, respectively. The study targeted 81 patients from group A (average age = 61.0 years) and 77 patients from group B (average age = 61.7 years). Time that was spent on caregiving tasks was significantly higher for group B, when compared to group A. In addition, significant differences in cohesion and adaptability, which are two dimensions that are measured by the FACES II, and QOFL emerged between the two groups. The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that cohesion (β = 0.38), practical support (β = 0.32), adaptability (β = 0.30), and living arrangement (β = −0.12) significantly predicted QOFL. Conclusion: Family cohesion and adaptability are indicators of healthy familial functioning. In order to improve the QOFL of caregivers of elderly dementia patients, it is necessary to strengthen emotional ties, maintain emotional attachment, and flexibly respond to the burden of nursing care and changes in power structures and role relationships.

Narrativas acerca de las relaciones familiares en mujeres en situación de reclusión carcelaria / Narratives about family relationships among women that are imprisoned / Narrativas sobre as relações familiares em mulheres em situação de confinamento carcerário

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo caracterizar la percepción que un grupo de mujeres internas en el Centro de Reclusión Femenino, próximas a ser liberadas, tenía acerca de la dinámica relacional de su familia de origen y la familia de elección. Entrevistamos a diez mujeres en forma individual. Encontramos que provienen de familias en las que existe una figura de autoridad dominante que suele ser la madre, y una figura paterna que es periférica o nula; es frecuente la violencia familiar y el abuso. La reclusión carcelaria acentúa la crisis familiar debido a que se trata de familias con escasos recursos económicos. La reclusión es un fenómeno que trasciende el ámbito familiar y carcelario, para plantearse como un asunto de interés para las políticas sociales de apoyo a la población carcelaria.

This research aims to characterize the perceptions among a group of female residents at a Female Detention Center that were close to being released regarding the dynamics of the relationships among their birth families and the families that later constructed. Ten women were individually interviewed. It was found that they come from families where the dominant authority figure is usually the mother while the father figure is peripheral or absent. There are often incidents of domestic violence and abuse within these families. The time in jail heightens the family crisis due to fact that these are families with low incomes. Imprisonment is a phenomenon that transcends the family and prison environments and should be considered an area of interest for social policies that support the imprisoned population.

Esta pesquisa objetivou caracterizar a percepção que um grupo de mulheres presas no Centro Feminino de Reclusão, e próximas de serem liberadas, tinha sobre a dinâmica de relação de sua família de origem e a família escolhida. Foram entrevistadas dez mulheres individualmente. Os resultados mostraram que elas vêm de famílias nas quais há uma figura de autoridade dominante, que normalmente é a mãe, e uma figura paterna, que é periférica ou nula; é frequente a violência familiar e o abuso. O encarceramento acentua a crise familiar já que se tratam de famílias com escassos recursos econômicos. A prisão é um fenômeno que transcende o âmbito familiar e carcerário e deve ser considerada como um assunto de interesse para as políticas sociais de apoio à população prisional.

The scores of different domains at the retirement or senior years were the lowest ( ranging from 37.10-59.81) ,and the scores of different domains at the child-bearing period were highest (ranging from 37.10-59.81). The results of Multiple Linear Stepwise Regression showed that the QOL of different family life cycle residents were influenced by some factors. The influencing factors on PCS at the child-bearing period were income (β=1.51) and life events (β=-6.13), while that at the period of families with adolescents were economic income (β=1.81) and age (β=-0.65);that at the period of empty nest were economic income (β=-3.64) and age (β=-0.65);and that at the re-tirement or senior years were unhealthy living habit (β=-15.06),age (β=-0.56) and income (β=3.06). The influencing factors on MCS at the child-bearing period was medical insurance (β=5.86),while that at the period of families with adolescents were medical insurance (β=6.28),education (β=2.32),life events (β=-4.68) and occupation (β=-5.53);that at the period of the empty nest were age (β=-0.61) ,gender (β=-10.35) and chronic disease (β=-8.35);that at the retirement or senior years were age (β=-0.27) , economic income (β=2.55) and unhealthy living habit (β=-6.95) . Conclusion The influencing factors of QOL for different family cycle residents are not conformity with each other. It suggested that in order to im-prove the QOL of residents, the community health service including health education and health promotion should be based on different family life cycle.

Contextual factors related to chronic condition in portuguese adolescents: highlights from the HBSC/WHO study

Abstract Adolescence's changes may become more pronounced when living with a chronic condition (CC). This study aims to examined the differences in satisfaction with family life, perception of school competence and "pressure with homework" of Portuguese adolescents' 1) living with CC; 2) how living with CC affects school participation; taking into account age, gender and family socioeconomic status (SES). Five thousand fifty Portuguese adolescents (mean age 14 ± 1.85) of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC/WHO) were included. Results showed increased vulnerability in adolescents living with CC, presenting a lower satisfaction with family life and poor school outcomes. Younger boys, having a higher SES and not having CC are significantly associated with satisfaction with family life. Older girls, having a lower SES and living with CC were associated with more stress related to school work. Future interventions should include these featurescombined with 'listening' to adolescents and their needs, allowing their participation in the promotion of personal health. (AU)

Career and family life: a study of bank executives / Carreira e vida familiar: um estudo com executivos bancários / Carrera y vida familiar: un estudio con ejecutivos bancarios

This article aimed to describe the implications considering the choice for banking career in the division of family labor and its consequences for women´s professional life. The theoretical and empirical study included 14 interviews with seven couples, all men were bank executives. Collective categories were constructed during the analysis and were discussed considering the theoretical framework, especially gender and career. The results indicate workload for the wives of bankers and losses relating to their own career as a result of the need to follow their husbands across the geographic mobility that banks impose to them. Banking careers wind up repeating the man's role as the main financial provider in the family.

A análise de conteúdo resultou em categorias de cunho coletivo discutidas à luz do referencial teórico, especialmente, gênero e carreira. Os resultados indicam sobrecarga de trabalho para as esposas de executivos bancários, bem como prejuízos relativos à sua própria carreira em decorrência da necessidade de acompanharem seus esposos frente à mobilidade geográfica que os bancos lhes impõem. As carreiras bancárias acabam por reiterar o papel do homem como principal provedor financeiro na família.

Conceptualización de ciclo vital familiar: una mirada a la producción durante el periodo comprendido entre los años 2002 a 2015 / Conceptualization of family life cycle: a view of the production during the period between 2002 and 2015

El presente trabajo es el resultado de un proceso de investigación teórico descriptiva de tipo documental, en el cual se rastrearon y analizaron diferentes estudios publicados durante los años 2002 a 2015 en relación con el tema ciclo vital familiar (CVF). Se analizaron 45 artículos y textos teóricos. A partir del proceso de codificación y análisis se derivan tres núcleos temáticos: Definición de CVF; Etapas del CVF y Nuevas apuestas conceptuales en torno a éste. Se presenta al ciclo vital familiar desde dos perspectivas, como teorización que permite discernir el desarrollo de la familia a lo largo de su existencia, a través de etapas, y otra que implica cuestionar la validez contemporánea de esta teoría en la sociedad dados sus cambios sociales, culturales, económicos, entre otros.

This study is the result of a process of theoretical descriptive documentary research, in which different researches published during the years 2002-2015 in relation to the subject family life cycle (FLC) were tracked and analyzed. 45 articles and theoretical texts were analyzed. From the process of coding and analysis three contents have been derived: Definition of FLC, FLC stages and new conceptual challenges on this. The family life cycle is presented from two perspectives, as theorizing that can discern the development of the family throughout its existence, through stages, and another that involves questioning the contemporary validity of this theory in society, taken into account social, cultural, and economic changes, among others.
