A anorexia e a bulimia nervosa são transtornos alimentares (TAs) de etiologia complexa e multifatorial. Adolescentes são a população mais acometida por estes transtornos, apresentando casos sérios e com alta morbidade. Com a globalização e a mudança do padrão estético vigente, vem se preconizando uma imagem corporal magra e longilínea. Para se sentirem pertencentes ao meio social e perceber uma autoimagem positiva, optam pela mudança de seu comportamento alimentar de forma drástica. Este artigo propõe uma revisão narrativa da literatura, buscando discutir questões ligadas à mídia, ao padrão estético vigente e como estes podem influenciar no desenvolvimento de TAs nas adolescentes. Verificou-se que redes sociais e comunidades na internet podem influenciar o surgimento ou agravar os TAs. Intervenções baseadas na terapia cognitivo-comportamental demonstraram alta eficácia. Observa-se a importância do trabalho multidisciplinar no tratamento desta população, com intervenções coesas e assertivas, bem como o papel fundamental da família. Mostram-se necessárias mais pesquisas empíricas que pautem o desenvolvimento de técnicas de intervenção baseadas em evidências. Estimula-se ainda a reflexão sobre como a meios de comunicação podem influenciar positivamente na desmistificação do padrão estético vigente, bem como para importância de incentivar o pensamento crítico das adolescentes acerca do que observam propagados na mídia.

The present study sought to synthesize available evidence on the role of self-compassion in elders aged 60 or above and its potential implications during the process of aging. A systematic review was conducted in order to search for empirical scientific articles with quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods with a focus on self-compassion in samples with elders aged 60 years or more. Searches were carried out in the Psycinfo, Scopus, Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane databases, without limit of time. After the application of including and excluding criteria, 11 articles were considered eligible for this review, with all presenting good methodological quality. Self-compassion was found to be a promising skill that can promote healthy psychosocial aging, enabling a better adjustment to changes associated with aging. Such results contribute to the development of new mental health intervention protocols, especially in the field of psychogerontology. There is a need for more longitudinal research and investment in the development of specific interventions for this age group.

Objective: Breast cancer is the most prevalent oncologic diagnosis given to women all around the world, and can cause diverse psychiatric symptomatologies and damage to the life of its carrier. The concept of posttraumatic growth (PTG) focuses on the perception of a positive change from the experience of a stressing situation. This study's objective was to evaluate PTG and different predictor variables for women (n=84) with breast cancer in Brazil. Method: On this exploratory study, self-report scales referring to the diagnosis period and oncologic treatment were applied individually. Results: Having a husband/partner, adaptive coping strategies and a religion of identification were found to be predictor variables in different established regressive models. Rumination did not show any correlation to PTG scores, refuting the results of previous studies. The results found in this study confirm previous research as for PTG predictors, except for rumination. Conclusions: Positive changes resulting from experiencing breast cancer are present in Brazilian women and different interventions can be thought of based on the study of predictors.[es] Crecimiento postraumático y variables predictoras en mujeres brasileñas con cáncer de mama Resumen: Objetivo: El cáncer de mama es el diagnóstico oncológico más frecuente que se da a las mujeres en todo el mundo, y puede causar diversas sintomatologías psiquiátricas y daños a la vida de su portador.

Currently, the different health areas focus attention on evidencebased interventions. The use of practices with proven empirical efficacy through research with methodological rigor is presupposed. Researches contribute to the study of important moderators in different treatments and in clinical practice. Thus, reporting relevant data, whether positive or negative, favors professionals to make better decisions in the choice of their intervention strategies. 2 Psychology as a specialty has an important role in treating patients facing life-threatening diseases, as well as patients with no curative possibilities. The use of assertive intervention strategies by trained professionals allows the emotional symptoms to be better identified, more effectively treated and in a shorter time. Thus, it reduces patient and family suffering and spending on financial resources.
