Introduction

Parents of children with disabilities are at increased

risk of experiencing psychological stress compared to other par-

ents. Children’s high levels of internalizing and externalizing

problems have been found to contribute to this elevated level of

stress. Childhood disability often imposes a social and emotional

burden for children and their families.

Objective

With this study we evaluated several parents’ psycho-

logical aspects and the emotional behavioral functioning of their

children with disability.

Aim

To investigate the possible correlation between parenting

stress, level of depression in parents and behavior problems in their

children, taking in to account the differences between mothers and

fathers.

Method

standardized forms (CBCL, PSI, BDI) were completed

from 57 (28 mothers) parents of children aged from 6 to18 years,

focusing on psychological well-being includes depression, parent-

ing stress, family resilience and family adjustment.

Results

The mean age of our sample was 41.55

±

5.4. The level

of depression and stress index were higher in mothers than in

fathers. Parenting stress was significantly associated with children

internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in children.

Conclusion

The results of this investigation indicate the impor-

tance of examining relations between parenting stress and

behavior problems in children with disabilities. Objective of ensur-

ing the rehabilitation process aimed at the welfare of the family.

These patterns have implications for both developmental theory

and for service provision for individuals with disability and their

families.

Cognitive deficits as well as affective and physical symptoms are

common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, little is known

about how these deficits affect functional outcomes. The purpose of

this study was to investigate the relationship between neuropsy-

chological, affective and physical sequelae and outcomes such as

social function and quality of life in patients with TBI. We stud-

ied these relationships in 57 patients with TBI over the course of

6 months post-injury. The patients completed neuropsychological

assessments, including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III,

the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test, and verbal fluency test.

Affective and physical symptoms were assessed by beck depres-

sion inventory-II, Chalder fatigue scale, and Pittsburgh sleep quality

index. Functional outcomes were assessed using the world health

organization (WHO) disability assessment rated by others and

the WHO quality of life assessment (WHO/QOL 26). The patients

showed impairments in executive function assessed by verbal flu-

ency test. The affective and physical assessments showed mild

depressive mood and fatigue problem. Multiple regression anal-

ysis revealed that executive function and depressive mood were

the best predictors of social function and quality of life, respec-

tively. The findings of this study suggest that executive function

and depressive mood are important factors to predict functional

outcomes in patients with TBI.

Introduction

Barbacena is a Brazilian city with 140,000 inhabi-

tants, which was known as the “city of madmen” because of the

excessive number of patients in psychiatric hospitals. In 2000 it

began a deinstitutionalization process, and the patients were trans-

ferred to assisted residential services.

Objective

Describe the process of deinstitutionalization and

social rehabilitation of psychiatric patients.

Methodology

The following characteristics were studied: sex,

age, medication use, psychiatric diagnosis and the development of

social skills.

Results

In each therapeutic residence (RT) lives eight patients,

supervised by upper and mid-level professionals. Since the imple-

mentation of RTs about 400 patients leave the psychiatric hospitals.

Most had mental retardation (51.0%), followed by schizophrenia

(31.0%). More than half (58.5%) were men. The age ranged from 29

to 97 years, with a average of 64.8

±

12.4. A decrease in the average

dose of neuroleptics was seen after deinstitutionalization. Direct

observation of patients in the RT, and the reporting of caregivers

has shown that patients have developed wide range of social per-

formance, such as dating, started at professional courses, attending

exercise classes, travelling and learn how to use money.

Conclusion

In despite of difficulties in the psychiatric reform

process, the community-based treatment and psychosocial reha-

bilitation approach are the principal models of psychiatric care

presently, and the residential services play an important role in this

process. The authors emphasize the importance of community sup-

port, professional staff and rehabilitation programs as a condition

for good outcomes.
