Adesão ao tratamento anti-retroviral por cuidadores de crianças e adolescentes soropositivos de uma Unidade de Saúde do Estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-02) BRANCO, Caroline Mota; FERREIRA, Eleonora Arnaud Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6600933695027723
The adhesion to treatment has been receiving a lot of attention in Health´s Psychology these years. Studies in this area reveal that the patients who don't take part in the treatment cannot receive benefits of therapeutical intervention. The literature about adhesion in the anti-retroviral´s treatment reveals that is the caretaker who usually has the responsibility for managing soropositive children and teenager´s treatment. This study aims to describe the standard adhesion of caretakers treatment who live in the State of Pará, identifying the variables that interfere in their participation. It still reveals the types of cope strategies used to deal with the adverse conditions of soropositivity. For that, it was carried out a descriptive study, of transverse cut, with 30 caretakers, enrolled in the “Unidade de Referência Materno-infantil e Adolescente do Estado do Pará” (UREMIA), using, as instruments of data collection, an interview with caretakers - which investigated socialdemografic, clinical and psicosocial children and teenager's aspects - and the “Escala Modos of Enfrentamento de Problemas” (EMEP). Concerning to caretakers participation, it was observed that some conditions facilitated the treatment´s adhesion. Those conditions were related to varied of family organization (such as the number of people that lived in a house), to the history of treatment interruption and the self-report of caretakers about the fulfilment standard which should be emitted about the success (or failure) of the adhesion. The influence of those varied demonstrated the influence of behavior control made by rules, because the caretakers emitted the fulfillment standard classified as "adhesion" in order to avoid being in contact with the aversive consequences of the non-continuation of the treatment. Concerning to the cope strategies, it was showed a major grade for Factor 3, emphasizing the use of strategies focused on religious practices and/or imaginative thoughts. This research verified that the caretakers of the sample avoided thinking about the soropositivity problem as it is really constituted, using religious thoughts or "magic" to continue working with the daily routine of the subject coping, which involved the condition of children and teenager’s soropositivity. Based on all this data, this research suggests that more studies should be carried out in order to investigate themes related to the function of social contigences about the behavior of children and teenager’s caretakers from Pará, and also investigate aspects concerned to the diagnosis revealing.

The research describes the transition from conjugality for adoptive parenthood of twins, at the age of three and half years. Based on the structural theory of systemic aimed to analyze the relationship of a couple age 50-63 years old, so, identify the reasons, routines and changes after adoption. It was used as instruments Semi-structured Interviews, Genogram Interviews, Routine Inventory and Daily Field. From the reports were taken two axis: “The couple: characteristics and performance” and “The adoptive family: couple and routine care of the twins.” The main results indicate that since the beginning of the relationship, the couple already experiencing several transitions. It appears that after the adoption, the role of parenting creates a period of conflict, crisis, difficulty in orienting, educating, establishing rules and limits children who lived institutionalized since seven months. It can be seen in the role of wife overload in child care, the family has the support of a cooperating in housework and childcare. In addition, the couple faces some prejudices of society in general, and those closest to the decision to adopt older children. It is noteworthy that need psychological support families adopters during and after late adoption process and the importance of longitudinal study.

Análise da comunicação sonora do Curió Oryzoborus angolensis (Aves, Passeriformes, Emberizidae)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-06-29) LOPES, João dos Prazeres; SILVA, Maria Luisa da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2101884291102108
The Seed-finch Oryzoborus angolensis (Aves, Passeriformes, Oscines, Emberizinae) is very a popular and appreciated species birdkeepers in Brazil, due to its melodious and varied song. The song represents the species-specific recognition signal for the most of the birds. Songs with long vocal repertoires, population and individual variations can be indicatives of vocal learning. In this context, we studied the song of the Lesser seed finch Oryzoborus angolensis. The song of O. angolensis is characterized as a sequence of pure notes organized and repeated in discrete phrases. We analyze the song of 26 individuals, 16 in captivity and 10 wild from different localities of their distribution area. The measures of physical parameters of the notes (note duration, note interval, rhythm, minimum and maximum frequency) presented significant global differences, considered here the characters that represents the species-specific code. We observe that the notes are constituted mainly by widely modulated pure sounds and are distributed in homogeneous way in our sample. We have found significant differences between the repertoire of the individuals kept in captivity and wild.

The cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are characterized by persistent deficits in communication and social interaction in multiple contexts. The diagnosis of ASD also involves the presence of repetitive behavior and restricted interests. Considering the need of intervention and the lack of qualified professionals to implement intervention the purpose of this study was to verify the effects of parent-implemented teaching programs (VI) on the performance of children (VD). Participants included three children diagnosed with autism and their respective caregivers. Through a multiple probe design, the independent variable (IV) was selectively implemented on each of the teaching programs. Caregivers carried out the intervention at home and had their performance, and the performance of their children, was evaluated in sessions conducted in the room of the APRENDE Project/UFPA. Their performance was monitored during every session. Two or more programs were selected for each child. Participant 1 reached criterion for performance accuracy in the following programs: "Tact of Actions", "Mand with Autoclitic", and "Intraverbal of Personal Informations" after 7, 13, 19 sessions, respectively. Participant 2 needed 24 to 48 sessions and the Participant 3, 5 to 38 sessions to achieve accuracy in the programs. Data show that the intervention via caregiver, guided by a behavior analyst, can be effective and appropriate to the social-economic context of Brazil, characterized by lack of governm.

Aprendizagem observacional em crianças com autismo: efeitos do ensino de respostas de monitoramento via videomodelação
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-07-22) BRASILIENSE, Izabel Cristina da Silva; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1264063598919201
Has been pointed that video-modeling seems to promote the observational learning in individuals with Autism, included verbal repertories. However individuals with Autism often exhibit difficulty to learn by observing the actions of others. One method to provide observational learning it is previous training of monitoring pair’s actions. Nevertheless, monitoring training studies has been accomplished in-vivo pairs, making them more expensive and committing experimental control. This study investigated the possibility of establishing monitoring response via video-modeling. Furthermore, investigated if observational learning of tacts and textual could emerge by acquisition of monitoring repertory. Two children with autism participated. Observational learning tests via video-modeling were performed. Then the tact monitoring training via videomodeling was implemented in three steps: (1) teaching of monitoring behavior; (2) attempt to the model’s responses and (3) attempt to the model’s response consequence, not knowing the objects’ tacts. Afterwards, tests for tacts and textual were conducted via video-modeling. Two children acquire monitoring repertory in four sessions, indicating that monitoring training via video-modeling can be an effective and economic alternative for monitoring training. The acquisition of monitoring repertory beneficed the acquisition of tact and textual via observational learning for one of the participants. It is discussed the potential effects of video-modeling to train precurrent behaviors necessary for observational learning and the necessity of continuing researchxii in this area for better comprehension of variables that influence the acquisition of observational learning.

The context of the global pandemic of COVID-19 emerged the vulnerability of the elderly public from the psychological consequences under the analysis of the Life Span perspective, which understands the developmental trajectory in a continuous, contextual, multidimensional, and multidirectional way concerning genetic-biological and sociocultural influences. The study aimed to investigate the association between socio-demographic factors and symptoms of psychological distress in the elderly during the pandemic context of COVID-19. The research has an exploratory nature and was carried out with a sample of 289 elderly Brazilians, aged over 60 years, recruited through the snowball technique, by virtual means (social networks and e-mail). The results obtained indicated a sample mostly female, with schooling ranging from 13 to 18 years old, Christian-Catholic religion, cohabiting with adult members, family income higher than 1,200 reais and occupation of the retirement type. The most frequent symptoms of psychological discomfort were restlessness, insomnia, muscle tension, and the urge to cry in males, family income between 900 and 1.200 reais, and house size smaller than 50 m²; on the other hand, there was no significant relation between religion, family structure, and the number of persons per family. We conclude that there was a significant association between socio-demographic and psychological factors, which indicates that the elderly focus on emotional type coping strategies, being anxiety symptoms the most prominent which suggests a perception about the loss of control about the future and physical vulnerability facing a stressful context.

This research aimed to analyze the activities of daily living (ADLs) of children in situations of institutional care, discussing the importance of systematic evaluation of this type of activity and the critical role that caregivers may have in gaining greater autonomy in personal care and the acquisition of various skills. Comprising two interlinked studies in the first part (study I) provides a characterization of scientific literature on the assessment of activities of daily living in different contexts, covering research methods and instruments used for this purpose. The observed results showed a prevalence of use of standardized assessment instruments, and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), most often found in the literature reviewed. Despite these developments in evaluation methods, there was little or no attention to the contexts of ADL performance, placing greater emphasis on the characteristics of the person, as the presence of limiting pathologies. In this direction, the second study presents a description of the levels of assistance provided by the ADL that involve educators, specifically, children who live in a host institution and incentive strategies used by caregivers dealing with their routines for each able to perform them in the most autonomous and efficient way possible. This description used categories inspired in part II of the PEDI, the Caregiver Assistance. The results showed a higher level of assistance in activities of hygiene and clothing compared to data obtained in feeding activities. Is attributed these findings to routine institutional and personal traits of the participants involved. We conclude that, in the institutional context, the highest level of service observed may have a different meaning than would be expected in a family environment. This higher level of attention and support checked could mean, on the one hand, more educators moments of interaction with the child, this can be a positive aspect in an environment that tends to be marked by the treatment depersonalized and rigid routines. And another, less opportunity for the child to develop from a greater degree of autonomy in ADL, which may have negative implications for the course of development. The importance of assessing ecological and cast a glance to the daily activities of children in residential institutions makes this research is located in order to contribute to a better understanding of the development in this specific context, since it, often have their first experiences of self-care. The results can guide and reflections indicated the formation of programs to optimize resources and opportunities present in the routines of self-care in this environment of institutional care.

The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) is a criteria-based assessment tool that can be used as a curriculum guide and repertoire development monitoring system for children with autism and other developmental disorders. The three levels of VB-MAPP were established from typical child development milestones derived primarily from studies with US or European children. Considering the socioeconomic and cultural differences that exist between the United States/Europe and Brazil, this study analyzed the adequacy of VB-MAPP functional levels for the evaluation of verbal, social and motor repertoires of a sample of 61 Brazilian children with typical development, living in Belém do Pará, of both sexes and aged between one and five years. The results showed that the functional levels proposed in the VB-MAPP were adequate to evaluate repertoires of a sample of Brazilian children with typical development, increasing the data on the external validity of the instrument. Based on these results it is suggested the relevance of the use of VB-MAPP in the Brazilian context.

Successive matching-to-sample (go/no-go) has been pointed out as an effective procedure to reduce stimulus control digressions in conditional relation training with non-humans. Other studies suggest the comparison between (symmetrical and non symetrical) conditional discrimination acquisition curves as a way to evaluate properties of equivalence relations. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of using both procedures above mentioned in evaluating the property of symmetry in four capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp). Stimulus presentation, activation of devices, and response recording were automatically controlled by software. Subjects were maintained under conditions approved by IBAMA. By mean of an “ABAB” single subject design, the acquisition of symmetrical (A) and non-symmetrical (B) conditional discriminations were compared. In both Condition A and B, conditional relations A-B and B-A were simultaneously trained so that in every condition, four new arbitrary conditional discriminations (with new stimuli arbitrarily related) were presented. When symmetrical, positive combinations were A1-B1, A2 B2, B1-A1, and B2-A2, and negative combinations were A1 B2, A2 B1, B1 A2 and B2 A1. When non-symmetrical, positive combinations were A1 B1, A2 B2, B1 A2, and B2 A1, and negative combinations were A1 B2, A2 B1, B1 A1 e B2 A2. Two of the four subjects (Negão e Bongo) completed que acquisition of one (Bongo) or two (Negão) sets of conditional relations (Conditions A-symmetrical and B-non-symmetrical) for the evaluation of the viability of the procedure to verify the property of symmetry. Data demonstrate that the method here reported detected the presence of the property of symmetry in the conditional relations leraned by Negão and its absence in the conditional relations learned by Bongo. Data are inconclusive for the other two subjects. One detailed analysis of the performance of each subject and its measures is also presented.

Children with atypical development may have deficient face observation behavior. This deficit may explain, in part, some of their difficulties in social interaction and acquisition of complex behavior such as the verbal repertoire. The present dissertation explored the effect of two types of procedures: equivalence-based instruction and stimulus pairing, on the alteration of face functions measured by preference tests for human faces figures and duration of human face observation responses in social tests. The behavioral processes involved in face observation responses in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were researched in the two studies presented here. Experiment I, evaluated the effect of equivalence-based instruction on the potential transfer of function from preference figures items to figures of human faces and properly human faces. Three children diagnosed with ASD participated in the study. A Pre-test and post-test design was used, with multiple baseline temporal controls, divided into three phases: a) Pre-test: assessment of the choice responses and face observation, b) Intervention: equivalence class formation via identity matching with class-specific consequences, c) Post-test: repetition of measurements made in Pre-test phase. Results demonstrated that, despite the difficulty in documenting the emergence of conditional relations that prove properties of equivalence relations (only symmetry was obtained for two of the three participants), changes in choice responses to figures of human faces was evidenced in two participants. One of the participants showed also changes in social tests. However, in the reinforcement phase of the conditional relations of this study, there was pairing between stimuli: access to a high magnitude preference item is preceded by the presentation of a visual stimulus (figures of human faces). Therefore, Study II assessed the possible effect of this pairing alone on the function of faces in children diagnosed with ASD. Two children who did not participate in Study I took part in Study II. An intra-subject design comparing Pre-test and Post-test measures was implemented, organized in a multiple probe schedule between participants, divided into three phases: a) Pre-test; b) Intervention: respondent-type (ReT) pairing between pictures of faces and highly preferred item and between an abstract figure and a lower preferred item, and c) Post-test: repetition of Pre-test measures as described in Study I. Study II, therefore, was complementary to Study I. The results in Study II show alteration of responding to faces in preference tests and social tests for one of the two participants. The data obtained in this dissertation add basic research knowledge to identify behavioral processes involved in the human facial observational responses, as well as provide relevant information to the area of Applied Behavior Analysis to the intervention of children who have difficulties in attention to faces. The procedures explored point to the use of methodological strategies to alter the function of the faces and show the potential of the stimulus equivalence paradigm in altering observation responses.

The literature on Behavior Analysis may contribute to the educational system, despite the little influence exerted in pedagogical practice. The performance of the students is functionally related to that of the teacher, making important the investment in professional training. The Lemov taxonomy cataloged teaching techniques based on the behaviors of teachers with students with excellent academic performance, presenting similarity with the behavioral perspective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the training of Lemov taxonomy techniques with four elementary school teachers. A pre and post-training record was made of the occurrences of the techniques in the classroom, and trained the techniques ‘No opt out’ and ‘Stretch it’, containing booklets and role-play with feedback, components of behavioral skills training. After intervention there were few occurrences of the trained techniques, but there was an increase in related techniques, indicating a partial effect on teachers’ behaviors. The need for in situ training, modeling and simplification of training criteria are discussed.

Foraging is one of the most important activities and consuming great part of the day time of neotropical primates in the natural environment. In the wild, Capuchins spend up to 80% of their time traveling and foraging in the search for food. On the other side, in captivity no effort is usually required to obtain food. Therefore the opportunity to express foraging activities becomes virtually excluded in captivity. The main objective of this work was to create and evaluate the effectiveness of an environmental enrichment tool called “bowlboard”, designed to difficult access, extending the time devoted to reach food. The observation was carried through in four different contexts, being one in the morning and three in the afternoon, using a focal animal sampling method. The relative duration of each behavioral event was compared in the absence and presence of the enrichment. It was found that the bowller extended foraging time, functioning as instrument of environmental enrichment. A considerable lowering in frequency of abnormal behaviors, while search and manipulation of food was more time consuming.

Migration is a process of ecological transition that drastically interferes with human development involving change of environment, social relations, perceptions about oneself and time. In addition, it is a process influenced by various social, economic, or political aspects that immerse the immigrant in a potentially risky yet challenging environment that mobilizes him for resources to overcome adversity. In this sense, this dissertation had as main objective to identify which aspects related to the migratory context are perceived as stress-generating elements and resilience promoters, relevant in the process of adaptation of Brazilian immigrants living in Germany. Two exploratory, descriptive, quantitative and qualitative studies were carried out. The first one focused on describing the perception of stress and resilience of Brazilian immigrants who chose to live in Germany. The study was attended by one hundred and eleven Brazilians living in Germany, who were assigned PSS14 to assess stress and CD-RISC for resilience. The results indicated negative correlations between stress and resilience. The second study aimed to describe the perception of Brazilian immigrants in Germany about their adaptation process. One hundred and thirteen people participated through an online interview through a virtual platform. The results indicated that the immigrants encountered several challenges, highlighting the use of language, culture, climate and interaction with the Germans. These studies can contribute to increase knowledge about Brazilian immigrants, their relationships and how they perceive the contexts in which they live far from their country of origin.

Institutional shelter is a protection measure that defines a parental removal when the rights of children and teenagers are threatened. Shelter institution can be regarded as the development context of those who are attended, marked through stimulation, activities and interpersonal relationship. It is substantial to evaluate the sheltering on the child’s perspective in order to extend the comprehension of this phenomenon. When dealing with children, is appropriate to use research techniques that looks familiar and enjoyable. Several researchers have been interested in investigate the play as a way to understand the child universe. This qualitative study had as goal to categorize, describe and analyze the content of symbolic play by which children played in a institutional shelter, focused on the institution itself and child’s family background. The research happened on Espaço de Acolhimento Provisório Infantil (EAPI) that shelters male and female children from zero to six years old. Overall, ten children took part of the study. It was used as tool and material a Characterization Form, a model representing the two institutional environment, everyday object toys, dolls and a video camera. A documental research with the Characterization Form was performed together with a gathering of playful resources. On a reserved room, one of the researchers interacted with the child while the other was filming. Four sessions of thirty minutes were performed with each participant. The results were organized in the following categories and subcategories: 1. Playing shelter (1.1. Routine acknowledgement, 1.2. Games and Plays, 1.3. Relationships); and 2. Playing Family (2.1. Routine, 2.2. Relationships and 2.3. The Family in danger). It was possible to identify the child’s conception about the institutional daily activities and to observe its familiar daily intimacy.

Color vision consists in discrimination of objects based on their spectral composition, assisting in the organism-environment interaction. Among primates, it is estimated that the majority of the platyrrhines monkeys has a polymorphic and sex-linked dichromacy. The objective of this study was to compare the results produced by different equipments and softwares for assessment of tri/dichromatic conditions of two males and two females of the genus Cebus sp. Two computerized programs were used: one involving an adapted version of the Cambridge Colour Test and another one developed for a standard computational system. In Experiment 1 and 2 were possible to verify the trichromatic condition of one female subject and the dichromatic condition of the rest of the participants. In Experiment 3, a female and a male subject presented a dichromatic performance compatible to that one registered in previous experiments. In this Experiment, a female participant presented a trichromatic performance compatible to that one registered in previous experiments. It was concluded that favorable conditions for assessment of color vision in platyrrhines species can be built involving equipment and software with low financial cost and easy to program. However, due the few number of sessions with the low financial cost equipment, it is suggested the replication of the Experiment 3 and more sessions should be made with more subjects and involving new stimuli arrangement. It is believed that, if new data confirm the data produced here, this equipment and procedure can be used for evaluation of others platyrrhines species where behavioral data are scarce.

Education has numerous contributions to society; however, the occurrence of aggressive behaviors can be a challenge for it to be successful in its goals. Therefore, this study proposes to carry out a conceptual analysis of the aggressive behaviors of students in the classroom, from their forms of use in studies of the behavioral-analytic literature. This research was methodologically divided into specification and selection of sources, investigation, and treatment of information. From these steps, four articles were selected, and four categories of analysis were constructed. The main findings were variables of the school environment as antecedent events to the aggressive behavior of students, such as the production of aversive demands for students and the teacher's behavior. Regarding the class of responses, more topographies of physical aggression were found, directed both at the person and at others or even other places and/or objects. As for the consequences and the functions, it is mentioned the escape of demands and interruption of activities (negative reinforcement) and the teachers' obtaining attention from the students (positive reinforcement). Finally, it is concluded that revisiting the scientific literature in the field of behavior analysis can be relevant to generate new questions about the theme of aggressive behavior of students in the school context, helping their understanding.

The model of Developmental Niche contributes in way to propose the child's study and the culture as a single analysis, by three mutually related components, (a) physical and social environment, (b) care practices and (c) caretaker psychology. Along all developmental psychology research field, we highlight the institutional care environment, enabling to investigate its influence on the development of children away from their families, and mainly provide data that enable interventions for child development. For this, it is necessary to know the environment, practices and views on the care of professionals who provide care to children in institutional care, because according to the Niche model, these elements contribute to shaping the development of children. This study aimed to investigate the development environment of institutional shelters for children from zero to six years, based on the three subsystems of the niche, comparing two contexts, metropolitan region of Belém (RMB) and the countryside of state (IE) from the look of educators institutional shelters. The data was collected by semi structured interviews with educators from 11 shelters in the state of Pará. 110 educators, 107 females and three male, between 19-63 years participated. The group of the Metropolitan Region of Belém was composed by 77 participants and the countryside by 33. The results indicate that, both in the metropolitan and countryside area, the Institutions had large and wooded areas, However, in the metropolitan region had Institutions which met large groups of children, separating them in the dorms by gender and/or age group. Regarding the care practices, educators in the metropolitan region of Belém value more free plays activities, while the educator from the rural zones prefers oriented plays. About the educators’ psychology, the results show that educators in the metropolitan region of Belém better realize the influence of his work in the development of autonomy, curiosity and the ability to relate to others. The study indicated that although there are differences between concepts and care practices, it predominates the homogeneity of both in the metropolitan area of Belém and Countryside State. It should be noted that the analysis presented is far from clarifying the quality of care and institutional routines in the metropolitan area of Belém and the countryside, but has contributions to the area since the instrument was useful to survey the profile, conceptions and practices educators of care in institutional shelters.

The relation between the parents and the teachers has been seen as a basic foundation for the good school performance, and development of the pupils. This study presents the data of a research about the analysis of the relations established between the parents and the teachers of children with disabilities that are registered in a public school in Belém of Pará. For such, four parents and five teachers had been interviewed preliminarily; later different focal groups for parents and teachers had been accomplished. The data had been analyzed qualitatively, searching to investigate the relation in function of three specific variables: the content, the quality and the frequency. Such variable can be understood in relation to the activities that the parents make together with the school, how they do such activities and in which frequency they do. The analysis of the data showed that the familiar participation in the school reality is still found sufficiently distant of what could be considered the ideal, mainly, when it is related to the school inclusion of children with disabilities, although it is contained in the pedagogical project of the school that the paper of the school is to stimulate the participation of the community. The data had also disclosed that the parents rarely go to the school, limiting themselves only to take and to pick up the pupils and rarely they talk with the teachers about other subjects, they only talk about some problems that the pupil has presented in the classroom. Although the results show a widely negative reality, the teachers and the parents believe that it must have been a continuous participation of the family in the school, however both do not develop activities to proportionate such approach. In only one of the cases, a teacher showed to develop activities that bring the family more closely to the children daily school. Specifically in relation to the parents of students with disabilities, the situation reveals sufficiently similar to the parents of “normal” children, however beyond the natural distance, still has barriers of preconception and discrimination with the children with disabilities, what consequently reflects in the relation with these families.

The concept of Development Niche consists of three subsystems: the physical and social environment, the psychology of caregivers and care practices. The present study aimed to analyze the prison context in light of the theoretical model of the developmental niche. The sample was 16 mothers guarded at the SUSIPE´s Maternal and Child Unit located in Ananindeua, in the metropolitan region of Belém. An interview script was used to collect the data in order to obtain information on the profile of mothers and their babies. Mothers responded to the KIDI, an instrument composed of 75 questions, divided into four categories: care practices, health and safety, rules and acquisitions and principles of development. The results indicated that the majority of the mothers were over 25 years of age, multiparous and of low schooling. Regarding the results of the application of the KIDI instrument, it was observed that the mothers answered 62% of the inventory questions and presented a performance of more than 50% of correctness in all the categories evaluated by the instrument, however the best results were obtained in The Health and Safety category (71.87%) and development principles (64.34%). Multiparity and the physical and social environment presented themselves as significant variables at the level of knowledge. From the results found, it is verified how important it is to know this context as a Development Niche that has a mutual relationship between environment, practices and the psychology of caregivers, and therefore, must be understood in its various dimensions. The study in prison context was satisfactory in that it provided important data for the reflection of public policies in the prison environment, possible orientations for mothers about child development and contributions for the improvement of the professionals' performance in the unit.

Crianças e adolescentes em acolhimento institucional: perfil e situação sociojurídica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-08-18) PANTOJA, Vanessa Dias; MAGALHÃES, Celina Maria Colino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695449937472051
The present research aimed to analyze the procedural information related to the foster care of children and adolescents who were under protective measure in an institution in the period of 2019 and 2020, in the city of Belém/PA. The study included the filling of 30 medical records. For data collection, two forms were used, one for characterization of children and the other for characterization of adolescents. The data were analyzed quantitatively by means of descriptive statistics. The results showed a predominance of female children and adolescents in the age group of 8 to 11 years old and that most of them were in elementary school. The main reasons for foster care were family neglect, abandonment, sexual violence and physical violence. About 86.7% of the children and adolescents had siblings in the same institution. Most of the fostered children were in their first foster care. The time they had been in the current institution was more than 18 months for most of the participants. Regarding the socio-legal situation of those who were fostered during the research period, the priority was the return to the family of origin, in its different arrangements. The results found point to the need for updated studies about the profile of children and adolescents in foster care and their families, before, during and after foster care, in order to contribute to the reflection about the practice of foster care institutions and to the improvement of public policies aimed at this population.
