Depression is a highly incident and recurrent condition, with episodes presenting varying levels of severity, being more prevalent among women. Maternal depression is known for its impact on parenting and schoolchildren's behavior. However, the influence of depression severity has been less systematically addressed. This study's objective was to identify and analyze empirical studies published between 2016 and 2022 addressing associations between the severity of maternal depression and schoolchildren's behavior. PRISMA guidelines were adopted with the following keywords: "maternal depress* and parenting and behavior problems." A total of 737 studies were identified in PsychInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, Lilacs, and Scielo databases and 10 were selected for analysis. Two other studies were included through the bibliographic references of the identified articles, totaling 12 studies for final analysis. Most of the studies were cross-sectional and presented predictive analyses. The results show that different severity levels of depression were associated with fewer positive practices and more behavioral problems in children. Additionally, current depression, in relation to the chronicity of the disorder, can better explain the negative impact on parenting practices. These findings can guide health professionals who care for children with behavioral problems, in the sense of guiding their guidelines by also considering the mental health condition of the mothers. Further studies addressing this population are suggested to investigate jointly the impact of different levels of maternal depression severity on parenting and children's behavior.

This study adapted the Conflict Resolution Styles Inventory (CRSI) for the Brazilian context and assessed its psychometric adequacy. In Study 1, the Brazilian version was developed and content validity was analyzed by experts (N = 4) with semantic adequacy assessed in a pilot study with adolescents (N = 15). In Study 2, psychometric properties were examined in a sample of adolescents (N = 276), providing evidence of internal validity and reliability. Study 3 further investigated evidence of internal validity and reliability in a new sample (N = 224). Results indicated that the CRSI exhibits content validity, internal validity, and reliability, making it suitable for assessing conflict resolution strategies employed by Brazilian adolescents in disagreements with their parents, enabling its use in related research.

Perceived social support is a relevant moderator of the health of older people and is an indicator of how families are organized to meet the needs of elderly members. Understanding the family factors that affect the perception of support is relevant for recognizing resources and vulnerabilities in old age. This study aimed to verify family factors associated with the perception of social support among the older ones. 134 elderly from the interior of the state of Bahia participated in interviews at home, in which the following were evaluated: 1) family configuration (housing arrangement, financial contribution, and family headship); satisfaction with family relationships - family APGAR; 3) family climate - Family Climate Inventory and; 4) Perceived social support - Interpersonal Support Evaluation in the short version. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed, with stepwise variable selection criteria (p<0.05). The older ones with the highest risk of a lower perception of social support were those with a lower perception of a positive family climate (3.6 times greater risk), those with dissatisfaction in the family adaptation domain (risk 6.3. times greater), the oldest - 75 years+ (2.8 times greater risk), and those who were family heads (2.8 times greater risk). Family factors associated with a lower perception of social support among the older are low family support and cohesion, dissatisfaction with family adaptation to the demands of old age, being long-lived, and the responsibility of being the head of the family.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has undoubtedly changed the lives of thousands of families around the world, especially those in situations of social vulnerability. As a result, it has also changed the way parental relationships are being built and experienced. This study aimed to analyze the parental relationships of socially vulnerable families, in the context of the first phase of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in the period from September 2020 to January 2021. The method used for this study is qualitative, exploratory research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six parents/caregivers. Considering the results of the research, it was possible to observe that the context of social vulnerability was already part of the participants' development, since they also came from socially vulnerable families. Thus, it is understood that vulnerability has always been present for this group, and with the pandemic, more economic and psychosocial factors were added to the problems they experienced. Although, despite expressing such difficulties, the participants of the study understand that the current health scenario has increased adversities, but also brought positive aspects.

Involvement with school bullying can be related to the broad developmental context of the individual, including the family. This systematic review aimed to identify the national and international scientific production between 2015 and 2019 on the relationship between family context and involvement with school bullying. The articles were collected in the LILACS, PubMed, PsycINFO and ERIC databases using the descriptors "bullying AND family" in Portuguese, English and Spanish. 48 empirical articles were selected for analysis. They were presented focusing on the relationship between family and bullying and classified as protective or risk factors for students. The results were subjected to thematic analysis, based on bioecological systemic theory. It was identified that the family context has been associated with involvement in situations of school bullying, as a protective factor, but mainly as a risk for the practice or victimization by bullying. This review helps in the interpretation of this relationship, indicating gaps and possibilities for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bullying affects the development of adolescents. This study aimed to compare bullying experiences and variables of family interactions between boys and girls. The sample consisted of 2,354 Brazilian Students (50.7% girls; M = 14.5 years, SD = 2.0) who answered two scales on bullying and family interactions. 55 adolescents participate of the semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Student's t-test and Cohen's d-index. The qualitative analysis of the interviews was developed in the Atlas.TI software. We identified that boys were more aggressors and victim-aggressors. The mixed results indicated that bullying and victimization manifested with few differences between boys and girls regarding the quality of family interactions. Positive communication in the family was a protective factor for girls, while negative marital climate and physical punishment increased vulnerability to bullying or victimization for both sexes. Practical implications for coping with bullying are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The state of emergency caused by COVID-19 forced the adoption of social restriction measures to reduce contagion, including lockdowns. They impacted various aspects of human life and considerably affected family dynamics by causing families to remain at home, increasing the coping of crisis, and experiencing a transition to new ways of living. Objective: To analyze the relationships and processes experienced by families during the COVID-19 lockdown as told by mothers. Materials and Methods: A qualitative grounded theory study was conducted using indepth interviews with five mothers. Results: The results obtained emerged from a core category, "acquisition of new ways of living," and three categories that support it: 1) Coping with the pandemic onset, 2) adapting to the new normal in the family, 3) embracing the pandemic consequences in everyday life. Discussion: The process that Mexican families have gone through with COVID-19 has been different from that of other countries; living together at home was affected since their freedom to live day to day as they did was compromised. Conclusion: The participants expressed that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the family underwent a transition process in order to acquire new ways of living, which included habits, customs, and structures that met their.

Autism Spectrum Disorder significantly impacts the lives of diagnosed people and their families, especially mothers. The article aims to describe the changes, adaptations of life and daily life resulting from the diagnosis. The study included 90 volunteers, members of at least one of the three largest social networks on Autism Spectrum Disorder on Facebook, from where data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire. The results allowed us to infer that for most of those responsible, it was necessary to rearrange many aspects of daily life related to professional, financial, academic, personal and marital life, to the family and project routine, to incorporate the new reality brought by the diagnosis, reinforcing the need to public policies directed to the needs of this public.

Introdução: O alcoolismo é um problema de saúde pública presente na atualidade e que atinge diversas faixas etárias, inclusive na adolescência. Nessa fase, destaca-se o processo de mudanças de ordem biopsicossocial, onde o adolescente recebe em seu convívio familiar ou de amigos, a influência para o consumo de álcool. O despertar da curiosidade e o desejo por independência são fatores que contribuem para a dependência no álcool cada vez mais cedo. Por esse motivo, a Teoria das Representações Sociais busca, através do objeto psicossocial, entender as ações de adolescentes frente a esse consumo e as inferências na vida familiar para elaboração dessas representações. Objetivo: Identificar as representações sociais dos adolescentes sobre as bebidas alcoólicas a partir de suas histórias de vida e analisar as implicações do relacionamento familiar para a produção dessas representações. Método: Pesquisa do tipo descritivo com uma abordagem qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio do método de história de vida, utilizando entrevistas semiestruturadas e aplicou-se, ainda, um questionário para a identificação do perfil sociocultural da amostra. Foi utilizado a técnica de análise de conteúdo temático, dando especial atenção à repetição de temas no material coletado. Resultados: No perfil sociocultural da amostra houveram 40 participantes, 30 homens e 10 mulheres. Todos eram de baixa renda, predominantemente de fundamental incompleto, onde o lazer mais adotado é o futebol e festas, 21 dos participantes eram evangélicos e todos tinham saneamento básico precário e conviviam com até 15 pessoas na família. Comumente a figura feminina é a responsável financeira e doméstica de um lar, entretanto, na maioria das vezes, é colocada como membro familiar que ajuda o homem historicamente conhecido como o provedor do lar. As cargas impostas sobre a mulher, acarretam em pressões intensas as quais muitas precisam recorrer ao uso de bebida alcoólica, no qual o filho adolescente pode adquirir o desejo pelo consumo ou criar aversão pela ingestão. Ademais, foi relatado que a liberdade ao qual os pais proporcionaram na infância considera se esse período foi bom ou ruim, pois a representação desses indivíduos frente a liberdade associa-se com relações interpessoais e de aceitação no meio social do adolescente que culmina com o uso de bebidas alcoólicas estimulada pelas mídias e o acesso facilitado por ser droga lícita e em baixo custo benefício. Além disso, constatou-se que a boa relação com os pais não é um fator que impeça a curiosidade ou consumo indiscriminado da bebida. Entretanto, relações familiares conflituosas provocam o abuso do álcool e a inserção na criminalidade, pois o relacionamento tóxico entre os membros da família ocasiona a aproximação com pessoas externas e que exercem influência negativa à ingestão da bebida. Conclusão: Logo, a representação desses adolescentes frente ao consumo de álcool está ligada a aceitação no meio social, na constituição familiar que possui aspectos positivos e negativos a depender da relação interpessoal entre membros e no papel da mulher líder do lar que, devido as pressões emocionais e financeiras, consome de forma abusiva o álcool e expõe o adolescente ao vício.

The family is one of the institutions that interfere with well-being throughout development and may impact on quality of life. In the context of epilepsy, psychosocial aspects cushion or increase as implications of the disease. The aim of this research was to evaluate the relationship between the quality of family relationships, depression and anxiety symptoms and the effects on quality of life in people with epilepsy. The participants were 63 people, mostly 65.6% women diagnosed with epilepsy. Patients answered the Family Climate Inventory (ICF), the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventory and the Epilepsy Quality of Life Inventory (QOLIE-31). This study has a cross-sectional and empirical cohort design. Significant correlations were found between family variables - cohesion, support and family conflict - and mood with the variables of quality of life, such as emotional well-being, energy/fatigue and overall quality of life. The results also show that individuals with. The results also demonstrate that individuals with high cohesion and high conflict have, respectively, a less and higher likely to present depressive symptoms. In addition, the linear regression model with the Beck Inventory of Depression and Positive Family Climate (support and family cohesion) explains (R = .28) quality of life. The results indicate the importance of family support and cohesion for the improvement of quality of life and the relationship between family conflict and the highest rates of anxiety and depression.

Introduction: the literature already points out that the family is often the main obstacle that prevents elderly people from experiencing their sexuality. However, there are no studies that identify the effects of sexuality on family functioning. Objective: analyzing the effects of sexuality on family functionality and on the quality of life of the elderly. Materials and methods: a cross-sectional study conducted with 692 elderly people between the months of July and October 2020 by selfadministered instruments. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling. Results: the elderly with some degree of family dysfunction had a worse experience in sexuality and a worse quality of life. The affective relationships domain of sexuality was the only one to exert a positive effect, from moderate to strong magnitude on family functionality (PC=0.472 [CI95%=0.301-0.642] p<0.001). Quality of life, in turn, had a positive effect, from weak to moderate magnitude, in all domains of sexuality: sexual act (PC=0.339 [CI95%=0.190-0.488] p<0.001); affective relationships (PC=0.117 [CI95%=-0.041-0.275] p<0.001) and physical and social adversities (PC=0.150 [CI95%=0.074-0.226] p<0.001). Conclusion: sexuality among the elderly can be explored more frequently in health services, as it exerted positive effects on family functionality and quality of life in this population. It is expected that with the results of this study, there is an appreciation of the theme in care services and that sexuality in old age is explored with the elderly, especially in primary health care.

Introduction: Home environment fosters parenting styles, learning, activities, experiences, and stimuli modulating children's stimulation. Objective: To identify the degree of home-based early stimulation and its relationship with family variables and participation in the care of children aged 1 to 4 years attending a daycare center in Pereira, Colombia in 2019. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by means of a census sampling including all children and caregivers who met the selection criteria (children with no history of neurological disorders and caregiver informed consent.) Sociodemographic and family variables were also measured. The Early Childhood HOME45 (Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment) inventory was administered. Univariate and bivariate analyses were carried out. Ordinal logistic regression was performed for associating predictors and total early stimulation score (high/medium/low). Results: The average age of children was 36 months (RIQ=11, 12-48). 67% of mothers gave children daily care. High stimulation was observed for 50% of the dyads. Predictors that reduced the probability of high stimulation (p<0.05) were reading habit (No, PR=0.29 (0.09-0.87)), participation in children's parties (No, PR=0.24 (0.07-0.79)), caregiver age (older than 36 years old, PR=0.95 (0.92-1.00)), child discipline strategy applied (verbal or physical abuse) (PR=0.16 (0.03-0.98)). Conclusions: Educating children through dialogue, encouraging reading and participating in children's parties, as well as having a caregiver under 35 years of age, were variables that increased the probability of high stimulation in children.

Relationships established in the family, such as the father-child activation relationship, interfere in the child's behavior. To understand the relationships between father-child activation, family functioning and child behavior, a study was conducted with 12 two-parent hetero-affective families with preschool children. It was used: Sociodemographic Questionnaire; Risk Situation; Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales; and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. It was found that: eight children were classified as activated, three as under-activated and one as overactivated; the functioning of families is balanced and/or rigidly cohesive; and in the child's behavior it was verified high prosocial behavior and low scores in difficulties. Besides the activation relationship, family functioning was fundamental to understand the child's behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
