Contextos ecológicos: promotores de resiliência, fatores de risco e de proteção Ecological contexts: furthering resilience, risk and protection factors

This study presents a consolidation of aspects of protection and risk in human development, in several ecological contexts, such as the family, the institution and the school, taken from literature, and relates them to the furtherance of resilience. It also defines the concepts of the resilience process, protective and risk factors and offers considerations about children in risk situations. Urie Bronfenbrenner's bioecological human development theory was used as a theoretical-methodological basis to analyze these contexts and factors of risk and/or protection. This theory addresses the study of development by integrating the understanding of the aspects of people's lives, whether it be the period in which they live, the environments in which they participate or the relationships that are established. Irrespective of the context (family, institution or school), a variety of influences and life events may be classified as risk or as protection. However, this will depend on the quality and existence of emotional and social relationships, of the presence of affection and reciprocity that such environments provide.

Contextos ecológicos: promotores de resiliência, fatores de risco e de proteção

The objective of the present work is to revise and critically discuss the resilience concept defined as the capacity of psychological recovery of the human being before adversity, violence and catastrophes in life. In modern society, that changes faster and deeper, demanding constant adaptation efforts and, therefore turning the resilience into a challenge to the new millennium. The analyzed phenomenon lead to the conclusion that the resilience should not be part of a ideological conceptual group, on the contrary it rises from the sense that is attributed to the human existence, that is to say, for the capacity to make affective and  professional liaisons and still for the existence of a life project.

Resiliência psicológica: revisão da literatura e análise da produção científica

Resilience can be defined as the capacity to have a normal development under difficult or adverse conditions. Based on this definition, a study was carried out aiming to elaborate heuristic hypotheses about this theme from the free autobiographical reports of 7 people who had spent many years of their lives in orphanages. l hey were considered resilients because they had deep affective relationships; they worked, studied and had no delinquent behaviors. The analysis of this material showed the importance of mothering worked out as fixed points of positive valency that enabled some safe attachment: brothers; relatives; friends; institution. Through these points, the subjetcs were able to constitute their identities and individualities. It pointed also to fathering as an educational factor that showed the way, giving the direction. This was accomplished by making the child responsible for some activities in the institution. The^fathering would be responsible for the feeling of potency that seemed to characterize the subjects. Finally the subjects expressed a wish for normalization of their lives that could be interpreted as the right to have equal opportunities. These three aspects would be the basis of their capacity to give sense to their own lives through a direction that guided their projects, linking the present to the past and the future.

Resiliência: um estudo com brasileiros institucionalizados

This articie proposes an introductory reading of the issue of resilience, presenting and discussing this concept through bibliographical research and the personal experience the authors had when they participated in a multicentrical research on resilience. The conciusion poh^lts to the relevance ofthe theme and to its operativity, suggesting, however, the need to deepen the theorethical questions raised by this concept.

Resiliência uma discussão introdutória

The objective of this bibliographic review is to lead to a reflection about an important epidemiological change that is happening at the present time: the perinatal mortality rate decreases, the survival of babies bom preterm, low birthweight babies and babies who have suffered intrauterine growth retardation increase. Congenital defects, evident neurological damage and non-evident neurological damage are noticed. This also panorama also focus on the concept of resilience, wich is becoming more and more important in the health sector.

Estatuto da crianca e do adolescente: planilha para operacionalizacao

This paper derives from one section of the thesis “Perceptual-motor skills evaluation in children of about two years old, whose mothers presented arterial hypertension” (MORAES, 1997). The objective was screening the presence of perceptual-motor damage in children with hypertensive mothers. The method of evaluation used was the Denver Developmental Screening Test, complemented by a structural study. It was necessary to countersign and characterise the concept of development so that it became consistent with the practice and the view of the researcher. It is important to mention that the study began from some development risks and reached resilience. Because of this, it is believed that this essay is very important to people that work with health, emphasising leveis of human development.
