I could see the look of shocked disbelief spreading from face to face. Mrs. Little had “really lost it this time.” She wanted the class to go out and count the number of blades of grass in the soccer field!

São vários os significados que podemos atribuir à autonomia, variando de acordo com o olhar de quem se propõe estudá-la, ou como quer respeitá-la nas pessoas. De uma forma mais abrangente, a pessoa autónoma é aquela que tem liberdade de pensamento, livre de coações internas ou externas, para escolher entre as opções que lhe são apresentadas. A pessoa com doença mental pode ter a sua autonomia comprometida de forma transitória ou permanente, podendo este comprometimento variar de acordo com o grau de gravidade da doença. O enfermeiro, num encontro face a face com a pessoa com patologia psiquiátrica, procura restabelecer a ordem perturbada, possibilitando a lucidez de pensamento, domínio dos sentimentos e afirmação de uma vontade livre, de forma a favorecer a confiança em si mesmo e o crescimento em termos de autonomia. Ajudar a pessoa a descobrir um sentido realizador para a sua vida, intervir na melhoria da sua qualidade, e promover a sua autonomia são as principais tarefas do enfermeiro de saúde mental, tendo sempre presente que o doente é o primeiro agente do seu processo terapêutico. Algumas limitações do direito de autonomia do doente são justificadas no período em que as condições mentais alteram a sua capacidade de tomar decisões. Porém, logo que se recuperem, devemos ajudar para que ele próprio seja o decisor nas suas escolhas e opções. Por detrás do condicionalismo da doença mental existe uma pessoa em busca de sentido e de liberdade, que lança a toda a equipa variados desafios. Pretendemos com este trabalho reflectir sobre a nossa prática diária, de forma a promover a autonomia no acto de cuidar e, salvaguardar o respeito pela dignidade da pessoa doente, utilizando a competência humanizada e a atenção holística adequada a cada caso.   There are several meanings that we can attribute to autonomy, varying according to the look of those who propose to study it, or how they want to respect it in people. In a broader sense, an autonomous person is one who has freedom of thought, free from internal or external coercion, to choose among the options presented to him or her. The person with mental illness may have their autonomy compromised temporarily or permanently, and this compromise may vary according to the severity of the illness. The nurse, in a face-to-face encounter with the person with psychiatric pathology, seeks to reestablish the disturbed order, enabling clarity of thought, mastery of feelings, and affirmation of a free will, in order to foster self-confidence and growth in terms of autonomy. Helping people discover a fulfilling meaning to their lives, intervening to improve their quality of life, and promoting their autonomy are the main tasks of the mental health nurse, always keeping in mind that the patient is the first agent of his therapeutic process. Some limitations to the patient's right to autonomy are justified in the period when mental conditions alter their ability to make decisions. However, as soon as he recovers, we must help him to be the decision-maker in his own choices and options. Behind the constraints of mental illness there is a person in search of meaning and freedom, who challenges the whole team. With this paper we intend to reflect on our daily practice, in order to promote autonomy in the act of caring, and to safeguard the respect for the patient's dignity, using humanized competence and holistic attention appropriate to each case.

Children with Rett Syndrome (RS) are reported to use multiple modalities to communicate although their intentionality is often questioned (Bartolotta, Zipp, Simpkins, & Glazewski, 2011; Hetzroni & Rubin, 2006; Sigafoos et al., 2000; Sigafoos, Woodyatt, Tuckeer, Roberts-Pennell, & Pittendreigh, 2000). This paper will present results of a study analyzing the unconventional vocalizations of a child with RS. The primary research question addresses the ability of familiar and unfamiliar listeners to interpret unconventional vocalizations as “yes” or “no” responses. This paper will also address the acoustic analysis and perceptual judgments of these vocalizations. Pre-recorded isolated vocalizations of “yes” and “no” were presented to 5 listeners (mother, father, 1 unfamiliar, and 2 familiar clinicians) and the listeners were asked to rate the vocalizations as either “yes” or “no.” The ratings were compared to the original identification made by the child's mother during the face-to-face interaction from which the samples were drawn. Findings of this study suggest, in this case, the child's vocalizations were intentional and could be interpreted by familiar and unfamiliar listeners as either “yes” or “no” without contextual or visual cues. The results suggest that communication partners should be trained to attend to eye-gaze and vocalizations to ensure the child's intended choice is accurately understood.

Theoretischer Hintergrund: Chronische Alpträume stellen eine weit verbreitete Schlafstörung dar, welche einen hohen Leidensdruck hervorruft. Als besonders wirksam in der Behandlung gilt die Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT). Selbsthilfeprogramme stellen hierbei eine effektive, ökonomische Behandlungsoption dar. Fragestellung: Die vorliegende Pilotstudie untersucht die Wirksamkeit einer neuen, IRT-basierten, angeleiteten Selbsthilfe. Methode: 10 Patienten mit chronischen Alpträumen wurden im Rahmen von 4 face-to-face-Sitzungen vor Intervention (T1) sowie 4 Wochen (T2) und 3 Monate (T3) danach hinsichtlich Alptraumhäufigkeit sowie verschiedener psychosozialer Parameter untersucht. Ergebnisse: Die Alptraumhäufigkeit reduzierte sich innerhalb von 4 Wochen signifikant (T1-T2; Effektstärke: 1,0). Dieser Effekt blieb über 3 Monate stabil (T1-T3; Effektstärke: 1,26). Zudem reduzierten sich signifikant Depressions-, Angst- und Anspannungsparameter sowie das Stresserleben. Schlussfolgerung: Das deutschsprachige Selbsthilfemanual könnte eine wirksame Behandlungsmöglichkeit zur Reduktion von Alpträumen darstellen.

There are few long-term follow-up studies of parasuicides incorporating face-to-face interviews. To date no study has evaluated the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity at long-term follow-up of parasuicides using diagnostic rating scales, nor has any study examined parental bonding issues in this population. We attempted a prospective follow-up of 85 parasuicide cases an average of 8½ years later. Psychiatric morbidity, social functioning, and recollections of the parenting style of their parents were assessed using the Clinical Interview Schedule, the Social Maladjustment Scale, and the Parental Bonding Instrument, respectively. Thirty-nine persons in total were interviewed, 19 of whom were well and 20 of whom had psychiatric morbidity. Five had died during the follow-up period, 3 by suicide. Migration, refusals, and untraceability were common. Parasuicide was associated with parental overprotection during childhood. Long-term outcome is poor, especially among those who engaged in repeated parasuicides.

Abstract. A meta-analysis was performed to determine whether response rates to online psychology surveys have decreased over time and the effect of specific design characteristics (contact mode, burden of participation, and incentives) on response rates. The meta-analysis is restricted to samples of adults with depression or general anxiety disorder. Time and study design effects are tested using mixed-effects meta-regressions as implemented in the metafor package in R. The mean response rate of the 20 studies fulfilling our meta-analytic inclusion criteria is approximately 43%. Response rates are lower in more recently conducted surveys and in surveys employing longer questionnaires. Furthermore, we found that personal invitations, for example, via telephone or face-to-face contacts, yielded higher response rates compared to e-mail invitations. As predicted by sensitivity reinforcement theory, no effect of incentives on survey participation in this specific group (scoring high on neuroticism) could be observed.

Although ego-centered network data provide information that is limited in various ways as compared with full network data, an ego-centered design can be used without the need for a priori and researcher-defined network borders. Moreover, ego-centered network data can be obtained with traditional survey methods. However, due to the dynamic structure of the questionnaires involved, a great effort is required on the part of either respondents (with self-administration) or interviewers (with face-to-face interviews). As an alternative, we will show the advantages of using CASI (computer-assisted self-administered interview) methods for the collection of ego-centered network data as applied in a study on the role of social networks in substance use among college students.
