The question is old and serious: how to get rid of flies? Several objects in the ethnobiology collection attempt to answer it through different methods that we shall hereby present. By considering fly swatters as traps, this selective inventory reflects the transition in their technical evolution and uses from an anthropocentric to a biocentric approach.

Existe consenso que apoyar la participación de los padres en el cuidado de sus niños es fundamental y que los enfermeros pueden ser facilitadores de este proceso. Hay pocas evidencias sobre como la educación de enfermeros de la familia les capacita para trabajar con padres. El estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar las percepciones de alumnos de pregrado en enfermería sobre sus experiencias con padres durante su pasantía clínica en enfermería familiar. Investigación cualitativa exploratoria y descriptiva con doce alumnos que participaron en una entrevista de una hora, en una universidad canadiense. Para el análisis se utilizó N Vivo7. Cuatro temas reflejaron las experiencias: Vivenciando eventos críticos con padres; Percibiendo padres y su involucramiento con ellos como importantes; Construyendo un relacionamiento con padres y Reflexionando sobre educación formal y pasantía clínica. Los enfermeros de la familia necesitan revisitar sus actitudes y abrir espacio para ese miembro importante de la familia en situaciones de atención a la salud.

Perceiving oneself as parent is a key challenge during the transition to parenthood. The importance of health professionals in determining perceived efficacy in parents upon the birth of their child is few explored. The objective of this study is to analayze the relations between the first time parents' perceived efficacy and their perceptions of nurses' help-giving and critical events during post-partum period. SAMPLE AND METHOD: One hundred sixty couples participated in a correlational study by completing questionaires after the birth of their first child. RESULTS: A model of parents' postpartum experience was established where nurses' collaboration and help-giving practices contribute directly and indirectly to the parents' perception of control and perceptions of events. They contribute indirectly to parent's perceived self-efficacy. IMPLICATIONS: The help given by health professionals, especially nurses, to parents following the birth of a child makes a major positive difference in the parents' experiences.

La transición para la paternidad es un momento en la vida que requiere de la capacidad de adaptación de un individuo. La calidad del apoyo social que reciben los padres se considera como un elemento importante en la adaptación para su nuevo rol. Estudio correlacional, que abarca cerca de 160 parejas de padres primerizos de Québec, Canadá, el objetivo fue comprender las fuentes de apoyo del padre y la madre durante el período postnatal, así como, sus características. Además, este estudio pretendía examinar la naturaleza de la relación entre las percepciones del apoyo social, la eficacia y la ansiedad de la paternidad. Los análisis multivariados revelaron que, para estos padres, el apoyo social no actúa como un factor de protección de sus percepciones para la eficacia de la paternidad. Sin embargo, las prácticas de ayuda de las enfermeras contribuyeron para las percepciones de apoyo de los padres, como para las percepciones de la misma.

ABSTRACT Objective: To synthesize and interpret findings and conclusions of qualitative research addressing the experience of the father in the care of the child with cancer. Method: Meta-synthesis of 16 qualitative studies from six databases, analyzed through taxonomic analysis. Results: Child and adolescent cancer have several repercussions on the daily life of the father, especially related to the stigma around the disease, the fear of the unknown and the social and family role. Faced with the illness and the need to care for the child, the father seeks to recover normality in the family and transitions between hegemonic masculine behaviors and practices culturally recognized as female. Final Considerations: The complex experience of the father, influenced by masculinities, was evidenced. The limitations regard the restricted understanding of the contextual specificities of the experiences, due to the limited characteristics of the parents and children described in the studies. The knowledge produced is useful to promote involvement of fathers in the care of the child, as well as to strengthen and assist him in this task.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To verify the association between complicated grief and sociodemographic, reproductive, mental, marital satisfaction, and professional support characteristics in women after stillbirth. METHOD Cross-sectional study with 26 women who had stillbirth in 2013, living in the city of Maringá, Brazil, and eight women who attended the Centre d'Études et de Rechercheen Intervention Familiale at the University of Quebec en Outaouais, in Canada. The instrument was administered as an interview to a small number of mothers of infants up to three months (n=50), who did not participate in the validation study. RESULTS By applying the short version of the Perinatal Grief Scale, the prevalence of complicated grief in Brazilian women was found to be higher (35%) in relation to Canadian women (12%).Characteristics of the Brazilian women associated with the grief period included the presence of previous pregnancy with live birth, absence of previous perinatal loss, postpartum depression, and lack of marital satisfaction. For the Canadians it was observed that 80% of the women presenting no grief made use of the professional support group. In both populations the occurrence of complicated grief presented a higher prevalence in women with duration of pregnancy higher than 28 weeks. CONCLUSION The women that must be further investigated during the grief period are those living in Brazil, making no use of a professional support group, presenting little to no marital satisfaction, having no religion, and of a low educational level.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand professional care for maternal grief in the puerperium of stillbirth. Methods: a clinical-qualitative study with all the women who had stillbirths living in Maringá (Brazil) and participating in the Center d’Études et de Recherche in Family Intervention at the University of Quebec in Outaouais in Gatineau (Canada). Semi-structured interviews were carried out and the relevant aspects were categorized into themes. Results: the identified categories were: Assistance received in the puerperium with a focus on grief: hospital and outpatient environment, and Professional support in coping with maternal grief after fetal loss: with contact and memories, without contact and without memories and impossibilities of contact with the baby. Final considerations: the need for a multidisciplinary support and monitoring network for women who experienced fetal loss was evident. From this study, a routine of care for grief can be implemented in Brazil based on experiences in Canada.
