Strategie di coping e coping efficacy nei bambini esposti al conflitto genitoriale: il ruolo dell’attaccamento.
Nell’ambito degli studi sul conflitto genitoriale l’attenzione al rapporto tra rappresentazioni mentali dell’attaccamento, strategie di coping e coping efficacy costituisce un tema poco indagato in letteratura. Il presente studio esplora se e come i diversi Modelli Operativi Interni (MOI) dell’attaccamento dei bambini modulino la relazione tra distress percepito in occasione del conflitto genitoriale, strategie di coping e coping efficacy. I partecipanti sono 182 bambini (87 sicuri, 46 ansioso-ambivalenti e 49 evitanti) di età scolare ed i loro genitori, a cui sono stati somministrati una serie di strumenti (RCTS, CPIC, SIS, CCSC-R1 e SAT). I risultati mostrano l’influenza dei MOI sull’utilizzo delle diverse strategie di coping e sul loro impatto sulla coping efficac
Comportamenti di internalizzazione ed esternalizzazione nei bambini: il ruolo dello stress materno e degli stili educativi.
Children’s internalizing and externalizing behaviour: the influence
of parenting stress and parenting practices. Background:
Research shows that high levels of parenting stress cause
child maladjustment. However, many questions are still
left unexplored as for the process by which parental
stress influences child adjustment. Current debate put forward
whether stress plays a direct role or a mediated role
by child-rearing practices. This study aims to further verify
whether maternal stress has a direct impact or an impact
mediated by child-rearing practices on the development
of internalizing and externalizing behaviours in
children.
Methods: Eighty-two mothers of school-age children
were administered the Parenting Stress Index-Short
Form to evaluate their level of parental stress, the Parenting
Practices Questionnaire to measure their childrearing
practices and the Child Behaviour Checklist to
evaluate their children’s internalizing and externalizing
behaviours. The hypothesis of the study was verified by
a mediation model of regression (Baron and Kenny,
1986). The predictors were the three PSI-SF parenting
dimensions (parental distress, parent-child dysfunctional
interaction and difficult child), the mediating variables
were the three parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative
and permissive) and the outcome were the internalizing
and externalizing behaviours.
Results: Results showed a direct relationship between
parenting stress and children’s internalizing and externalizing
behaviours. In particular, internalizing behaviours
were predicted by the parent-child dysfunctional
interaction and difficult child factors of parenting stress.
For externalizing behaviours, the direct effect emerges
for both on the PSI subscale difficult child and for the
permissive parenting practice
Spontaneous and postoperative bile peritonitis. Surgical technique
Background. Bile peritonitis has a diversified aetiology that can present in clinical pictures of variable gravity depending on whether the bile is uncontaminated or activated by other secretions (intestinal, pancreatic) or actually infected. The consequent treatment is therefore eclectic. In our opinion, however, the therapeutic strategy proves effective if modulated on the basis of certain priority elements that should be carefully considered. The type of treatment adopted in relation to immediate and long-term results has been evaluated. The investigation was carried out retrospectively on the series of bile peritonitis treated at the Surgical Clinic of the University of Modena from 1980 to 1998. 45 cases of bile peritonitis are reported of which: 32 postoperative, 2 post-traumatic, 2 following transparietohepatic injection, 7 during acute necrotic cholecystitis, 2 following spontaneous perforation of the biliary tree. As regards the type of treatment, in 13 cases (well-drained postoperative forms) a conservative solution was adopted; in another 13 cases (9 septic and 4 with mixed bile supply) surgery was resorted to again, in the remainder transparietohepatic drainage was carried out in association almost always with the application of a transpapillary endoprosthesis. Results. Morbility was 26.6% (12 cases); 4 patients (8.8%) were reoperated for late complications with mortality of 50%. Total mortality was 20% (9 patients). Conclusions. Treatment of bile peritonitis may be eclectic but the complex forms benefit from early surgical or parasurgical treatment for a definitive resolution of this feared complication
La valutazione psicologica della famiglia e del bambino nei casi di violenza all’infanzia
Emotions expressed by sexually abused children during protected auditions: Individual and situational factors
The goal of this study was to examine children’s expressed emotions in allegations of child sexual abuse, with particular interest to the influence of individual (gender, age at the time of the abuse and the hearing) and situational (type, severity and duration of sexual abuse) factors. Little research exists on this topic, although children’s emotional expressions at disclosure may play a crucial role in the credibility of the child and legal determinations. Ninety-six allegations of children (M = 10, DS = 3.7, range: 4-17 years) sexually abused were coded for children’s emotional displays (fear, sadness, disgust, anger, shame and guilt), through the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (Pennebaker, Booth, & Francis, 2007). Results showed that many negative emotions were expressed in the narrative accounts and that individual and situational factors were significantly connected to the expression of some emotions
