ABSTRACTObjective: to understand how the individuals have experienced a situation of trauma. Method: the type of study was inserted in the qualitative investigation in the extent of the descriptive phenomenology. The data collection was done by using a semi-structured interview. Results: after the analysis of the interviews three domains were noticed: Types of Trauma; Social/Emotional Experiences and Social/Relationship Experiences. In relation to the first domain in the category of trauma all the interviewed individuals had gone through a physical trauma. On the second domain three categories were pointed out: Background; Primary; and Secondary emotions, related to the feelings and emotions charted by Damásio, in which anxiety, despair, fear and guilt were the most evidenced. Concerning the last domain there are two categories related to the assistance and the relationship with the health care professional in the emergency service. Conclusion: the trauma is understood as an unexpected process, in which experiences cannot be known in their real dimensions. Becoming aware of the influence that the feelings and emotions play in the actions we take, and in the choices we make, lead us to think about how we live emotions, the importance we attach to them and the importance they have in the nursing care. Descriptors: events that change our lives; wounds and injuries; emotions. RESUMOObjetivo: compreender como os indivíduos vivenciaram a experiência de uma situação de trauma. Método: o tipo de estudo inseriu-se na investigação qualitativa no âmbito da fenomenologia descritiva. A recolha de dados foi efectuada recorrendo a entrevista semiestruturada. Resultados: feita a análise das entrevistas emergiram três domínios: Tipo de trauma; Vivências sócio/emocionais e Vivencias sócio/relacionais. Relativamente ao primeiro domínio na categoria de trauma todos os entrevistados foram sujeitos a um trauma físico. No segundo domínio emergiram três categorias: Emoções de fundo; Primárias; e Secundárias relacionadas com os sentimentos e emoções cartografados por Damásio, em que os mais evidenciados foram a ansiedade, desespero, medo e culpa. No último domínio surgem duas categorias relacionadas com o atendimento e a relação com os profissionais no serviço de urgência. Conclusão: o trauma é percebido como um processo inesperado, cujas vivências não podem ser conhecidas na sua real dimensão. Tomar consciência da influência que os sentimentos e as emoções exercem nas ações que praticamos, e nas escolhas faz-nos pensar como vivemos as emoções, que importância lhe atribuímos e a importância que as mesmas assumem nos cuidados de enfermagem. Descritores: acontecimentos que mudam a vida; ferimentos e lesões; emoções. RESUMEN Objetivo: comprender cómo los individuos vivieron la experiencia de una situación de trauma.

AbstractUnderstanding how social experiences throughout life shape later loneliness levels may help to identify how to alleviate loneliness at later lifestages. This study investigates the association between social relationship adversities throughout the lifecourse and loneliness in later life. Using prospective data from the Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development (N = 2,453), we conducted multivariable analyses to investigate independent, cumulative and moderated effects between the number of social relationship adversities experienced in childhood, mid-adulthood and later adulthood and the feeling of loneliness at age 68. We examined interactions between social relationship adversities and current quantity and quality aspects of social relationships. We found evidence of a step-dose response where greater exposure to social relationship adversities experienced at three earlier lifestages predicted higher loneliness levels in later life with more recent social relationship adversities more strongly related to loneliness. The results also demonstrated support for exacerbation and amelioration of earlier adverse social relationship experiences by current social isolation and relationship quality, respectively. This study suggests that social relationship adversities experienced throughout the lifecourse continue to influence loneliness levels much later in life. A key finding is that adverse social relationship experiences in earlier life may explain why otherwise socially similar individuals differ in their levels of loneliness. Implications for policy and research are discussed.

Because of the increasing number of transgender people requesting speech-language pathology services, because having gender-incongruent voice and communication has major negative impacts on an individual's social participation and well-being, and because voice and communication training is supported by an improving evidence-base, it is becoming more common for universities to include transgender-specific theoretical and clinical components in their speech-language pathology programs. This paper describes the theoretical and clinical education provided to speech-language pathology students at La Trobe University in Australia, with a particular focus on the voice and communication training program offered by the La Trobe Communication Clinic. Further research is required to determine the outcomes of the clinic's training program in terms of student confidence and competence as well as the effectiveness of training for transgender clients.
