This study was aimed to explain the self-concept of a prisoner who jailed for premeditated murder and factors that influence self changes. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used. One participant and three significant others were involved in this study. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analysed using Thematic Analysis (TA). The result of this study indicates that there is a change of participant’s self-concept as the impacts of his murder act and his imprisonment. Before the murder case, the participant experienced some degrees of incongruence between actual and ideal self. After the murder case and his life in prison, the participant’s self incongruence tends to decrease. There are several factors that influence the participant’s self-congruence, namely: social supports they received both psychologically and materially from relatives and friends, the ability to learn from his past experience, having self-acceptance and gratitude shown by accepting the punishment and sentence in the prison, and good adjustment during his life in prison. Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana gambaran konsep diri dan faktor apa saja yang dapat mempengaruhi perubahan diri pada seorang narapidana kasus pembunuhan berencana. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dan dianalisis menggunakan Analisis Tematik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan konsep diri pada subjek antara sebelum dan setelah melakukan pembunuhan. Hal ini mengindikasikan adanya perubahan konsep diri. Sebelum melakukan pembunuhan, subjek memiliki kecenderungan inkongruensi yang lebar antara diri yang diidealkan (ideal self) dan diri nyata (actual self). Namun, setelah melakukan pembunuhan justru konsep diri subjek cenderung mendekati kongruensi karena tindakan pembunuhan yang telah dilakukan berhasil mengurangi diskrepansi antara diri ideal dan diri nyata. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan ada beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi perunahan konsep diri subjek, yaitu adanya dukungan yang diterima secara psikologis dan materiil dari orang-orang terdekat, kemampuan mengambil pelajaran dari pengalaman masa lalu, adanya penerimaan diri, serta kemampuan penyesuaian diri yang baik selama menjalani hukuman di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan.

Loneliness among the elderly has become a pressing issue in Western societies. In the Spanish context, the problem of the so-called “empty” Spain disproportionately affects this population group—elderly individuals living in rural areas with low population density, and therefore at higher risk of social exclusion and isolation. We introduce here a mixed-method, quantitative-qualitative research protocol, triangulated with technological tools, designed to improve both data acquisition and subsequent data analysis and interpretation. This study will take place in a rural locality in the Extremadura region (Spain), chosen according to a particular socio-demographic profile. The De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale will be used on a cohort of 80 people over 65 years old. Within this cohort, a smaller sample of 20–30 individuals will be selected for semi-structured interviews about their beliefs and experiences of loneliness. Finally, data gathered from technological tools (smartbands, Bluetooth sensors) will allow us to monitor social interactions and to map daily loneliness/interaction patterns. Data will be triangulated by analyzing and comparing the empirical material gathered through these different methods and tools. Strict adherence to ethical standards for data protection and handling will be essential through data collection and analysis. As well as providing insights into the phenomenon of loneliness in old age, the use of different methods and tools for data collection will provide the basis for an epistemological reflection on the scope and limits of each one of these methods.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Understanding and characterizing chronic pain in elderly caregivers, verifying the cognitive performance of the elderly of the sample and verifying whether there is difference in the cognitive performance of elderly caregivers with and without chronic pain. METHOD Participants were people aged 60 years or older who lived with another elderly person in the same household and who were registered in Family Health Units. Data collection took place at participants' homes. Pain was assessed by the EMADOR and cognition was assessed by ACE-R. Statistical analyzes were performed using Shapiro-Wilk's and Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS The study included 187 elderly caregivers with chronic pain and 133 without chronic pain, with a higher frequency of women. Chronic pain was present in 58.4% of the participants. Regarding the sociodemographic variables, there was no difference between the groups except for the gender variable (p=0.025). No difference was found in cognitive performance among the elderly with chronic pain and those without chronic pain for any domain of the ACE-R instrument. CONCLUSION The results contradicted the initial hypothesis that there would be a difference between the groups; however, there is a gap in the scientific knowledge on chronic pain and cognition, especially in elderly caregivers, opening perspectives for future investigations.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the experience of being a mother of a child and a nurse working in the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: a research study with a qualitative approach, conducted with 17 participants from different cities of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Data collection took place in the months of April and May 2020, through semi-structured interviews conducted via an open access virtual communication platform. The data were thematically analyzed, based on the Complexity Paradigm. Results: the absence and mismatch of scientific and systematic information at the beginning of the pandemic, the fragile institutional support, and the concern of contamination of the children generated stress and anguish in the mother-nurses. The support previously offered by schools and family members was hindered by the pandemic, leading to a greater demand for parental care. Creative strategies to provide distraction, as well as religiousness and spirituality were valued to face the chaos experienced. Conclusion: nurses, while being valued as important frontline professionals in the fight against the pandemic, are invisible in their personal-affective dimension and in that of being a mother. The study indicates the need for structural institutional policies so that mother-nurses are placed in a position of equality and safety for the full exercise of the profession and a healthy intra-family relationship, especially in contexts of adversity such as that experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
