Work Done

Sao Tome and Principe is a country facing several environmental problems, including overexploitation of resources, waste treatment, soil erosion, among others. It is in this context that various NGOs have developed actions in the field of environmental education (EA). For this study, we worked with three NGOs from Santos and our main objective is to know the perception of the population about the work developed by these NGOs, within the scope of EA. This work is qualitative, interpretative and descriptive in nature. For data collection, we used the semi-structured interview with elements of the communities in the NGO intervention area. We found that respondents were unwilling to collaborate and afraid to participate in the interview. We note that this situation is justified by the infrequent investigations of this nature being conducted in Sao Tome and Principe. The results show that the population recognizes the work that has been developed within the scope of EE, mainly in the change of practices by the inhabitants, and the acquisition of attitudes and behaviors compatible with sustainable development. They value the preservation and use of natural resources, the main sources of wealth in Sao Tome and Principe. They stress that the work done by NGOs has improved the quality of life and the economy of families. We conclude that the intervention of NGOs of environmental nature are fundamental and has developed several awareness actions and, thus, contribute to improving people's quality of life towards more sustainable development.

The purpose of this study has been to identify the degree of sustainability in the development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury. The theoretical and empirical investigations were conducted between 2003-2014 based on data from the Local Data Bank. Using a comparative indicator method, 20 indicators were developed, with different directions of preference. The evaluation involves the concept of uniform preference, hence the higher the assessment indicator, the better the situation in the evaluated area unit. Our studies on the sustainable development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury suggest that the indicators measuring the environmental dimension and consequently the quality of life of the residents (in this aspect) score higher than the country's average values. It is also optimistic that some progress, however small, can be seen in this area based on the analyzed dynamics of changes.

Phenomenological Psychopathology

The quality of life (QOL) of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is related to the symptomatic and idiopathic characteristics of the existential condition of the child and is determined by the subjective understandings attributed according to the individual experience. The primary objective of this article is to describe and understand the subjective constructs about the self-referenced QOL of mothers of children with ASD. It is an empirical study, qualitative and based on a reading of phenomenological psychopathology. Participated 10 mothers of children with ASD, users of public health services in Goiânia. The following instruments were used: a sociodemographic and clinical data questionnaire and a semi-structured interview script about QOL. The interviews were submitted to the construction of thematic categories, according to the methodology of Giorgi (1985), and later were correlated with the existential categories of Augras (2004). It was observed that although a standard is sought to understand QOL, each mother has subjective factors that reflect in her way of experiencing the condition of being a mother of a child with special needs. It is concluded that it is the science, when seeking to understand the quality of life of people with similar characteristics, to consider the relevance of the subjective aspects and the meaning that each mother constructs of its own reality.

O desenvolvimento humano dos países se trata de um tema em destaque que exige ações governamentais para a melhoria da qualidade de vida de seus cidadãos. O problema de dimensionar este desenvolvimento frente às ações de governo determina o objetivo de analisar a existência de correlação entre os indicadores de governança dos países calculados pelo Banco Mundial (WGI) com o índice de desenvolvimento humano calculado pela Organização das nações Unidas (IDH). Para investigar essa hipótese foram efetuadas análises de correlação entre o IDH e as seis dimensões de governança do WGI. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmam a existência de significativa correlação positiva entre o IDH e o WGI, estabelecendo assim o entendimento da complementariedade destes indicadores, e a possibilidade de sua utilização no estabelecimento de ações governamentais.Palavras-chave: Governança dos países.

Quality of life of children submitted to cystentoplasty and caregiversObjective: to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of children with myelomeningocele who underwent cystenteroplasty in 2006-2016 and their caregivers. Method: this is a descriptive mixed study, conducted in a rehabilitation hospital, with a final sample of 16 participants, using the generic Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory instrument and a structured interview for the specific condition. The results were presented in tables and statements. Results: eight dyads participated in the study, being that “physical capacity” and “social aspect” were the domains with the most divergent perspective, whereas “emotional aspect” and “school activity” were more convergent. QoL was affected negatively in the immediate postoperative period due to prolonged fasting and the use of nasogastric tube and, in the late postoperative period, was positively attributed to the acquisition of social continence, lower frequency of urinary tract infection and greater independence of children. Conclusion: it is concluded that the perception of QOL of patients submitted to cystenteroplasty and their caregivers was improved after this surgery.

Método: trata-se de um estudo misto, descritivo, realizado em um hospital de reabilitação, com uma amostra final composta por 16 participantes, utilizando-se o instrumento genérico Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory e uma entrevista estruturada para a condição específica. Apresentaram-se os resultados em forma tabelas e depoimentos. Resultados: elencaram-se para participar do estudo oito díades, sendo que “capacidade física” e “aspecto social” foram os domínios com a perspectiva mais divergente, ao passo que “aspecto emocional” e “atividade escolar” foram mais convergentes. Afetou-se a QV no pós-operatório imediato negativamente devido ao jejum prolongado e ao uso de sonda nasogástrica e, no pós-operatório tardio, foi positivamente atribuída à aquisição da continência social, menor frequência de infecção do trato urinário e maior independência das crianças. Conclusão: conclui-se que a percepção da QV de pacientes submetidos à cistoenteroplastia e seus cuidadores foi melhorada após a realização dessa cirurgia.
