Abstract

This paper discusses the results of a pilot study conducted between January and June 2012 in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Institute of Psychiatry, at UFRJ. This is an exploratory study, through documentary analysis, which tracked complaints related to schooling within the universe of triage cases in the said period. Therefore, it had the goal of mapping school complaints that were recorded at the front door of a university psychiatry service. It presents the main complaints made by schools on mental health focused on childhood and adolescence from 285 triage records, as well as age and gender analyses based on the entry into the service. It also discusses how the school complaints are described from six triage reports pointing to the importance of the contradictory standout in the original complaint.It concludes that about one third of those seeking this service of childhood and adolescence psychiatry presents initial complaints involving schooling, then learning difficulty and agitation were prevalent.

Mental Health, Cognition and Academic Performance in the 1st Year of Elementary Education

“…In addition, it may be relevant to include different EF measures to further investigate whether and which skills could mediate the relation between mental health problems and academic performance. Despite the limitations, it is considered that the study adds to those of the national literature in the area (Beltrame & Boarini, 2013;Carneiro & Coutinho, 2015;Santos & Graminha, 2006;Santos, 2006;Stevanato et al, 2003) by demonstrating the relation between inhibition and attention abilities and mental health problems (e.g. León et al, 2018), in a cross-sectional cohort, and the association between mental health problems and academic performance (e.g.…”

“…Despite the importance of knowing the relationships between cognitive skills, mental health indicators/behavioral problems and academic performance in childhood, especially due to the impact of these variables and their prediction on outcomes throughout the life cycle, this seems to be an area that still lacks studies in Brazil. For example, a search in the SciELO database from the crossing of the keywords 'learning' or 'academic performance' and 'behavioral problems' or 'mental health' without date restriction resulted in 33 articles, of which only five approached the theme of interest in this study (Beltrame & Boarini, 2013;Carneiro & Coutinho, 2015;Santos & Graminha, 2006;Santos, 2006;Stevanato et al, 2003). Among these, four addressed the prevalence of the occurrence or co-occurrence of mental health problems and school difficulties.…”

Escala de Bem-Estar Subjetivo Escolar (EBESE): elaboração e validação de uma medida para avaliação educacional

“…A partir de uma análise qualitativa desse item, compreende-se que agitação/agitado(a), embora tenha repercussões afetivas, está mais ligado ao campo comportamental e psicomotor do que propriamente afetivo. Além disso, a relativa facilidade de endosso dos alunos a este item, independentemente do nível de habilidade evidencia o quão típico é esse comportamento no período da adolescência e caracteriza-se como uma das principais queixas escolares (Carneiro & Coutinho, 2015). Assim, justifica-se um endosso independentemente do nível de habilidade do estudante, pois representa um comportamento típico da etapa do desenvolvimento e do contexto.…”

O estudo de casos múltiplos: estratégia de pesquisa em psicanálise e educação

“…What were the main complaints? The purpose of the mapping was to better understand the group of children and adolescents who sought SPIA in general, to then select cases that, in their particularity, could somehow contribute to an extended reflection about this universe (Carneiro & Coutinho, 2015). Two complaints were prevalent in this survey (learning difficulty/agitation), a selection within what we call discontent in schooling, and were used as selection criteria of the cases.…”
