“…A study conducted on children with cerebral palsy detected higher values for different resources, except for three topics for which it detected similar or higher values than the present ones: organization of schedules (5.9 in both studies), school support and supervisions (5.6 in this study and 4.5 in the cited study) and family gathered for routine activities (with values of 6.6 in the present study and of 6.5 for children with cerebral palsy) (Morilla, Caldas, Scarpellini, & Santos, 2017). These divergences in samples from the same sociocultural context may indicate that mental health problems place the children in a more vulnerable condition regarding development than physical health problems or impaired physical/motor development, as is the case for cerebral palsy.…”

Introduction. The presence of mental disorders in a family may cause various losses in its functioning and characteristics. Objective. To determine which environmental resources are offered to children with mental disorders by their families and how they correlated with the family functioning. Method. The study included a total of 33 persons responsible for children with mental disorders. The subjects responded to two questionnaires to characterize family functioning (FACES IV) and the availability of resources in the family environment (RAF). Data were analyzed in a descriptively and the Spearman correlation test was used to identify associations between variables. Results. Most of the children were male and attended school, and the most frequent psychiatric diagnoses were attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Most families were considered to have good family functioning (87.9%), with only 12.1% being considered dysfunctional. Regarding environmental resources, the highest mean values were assigned to the presence of toys (6.9 ± 2.0) and to family gatherings for routine activities (6.6 ± 2.3). Family cohesion, flexibility, communication, and satisfaction (functional) were positively correlated with the offer of activities and resources and negatively correlated with unbalanced (dysfunctional) subscales. Discussion and conclusion. Children’s mental disorders do not appear to affect family dynamics in a significant manner. However, family functioning interferes with the types of activities and resources it offers to the child and that may have an impact on his/her development.

“…The incidence of this condition has not changed much in the last four decades, despite the great scientific technical advance of neonatal care. Brain lesions of cerebral palsy occur from the fetal or neonatal period and may extend for more than three years 19,20 . It is important to note that 30-50% of patients with cerebral palsy present mental retardation.…”

Brazil has made a wide development and contribution in the field of Public Health. These contributions have maximized public health decision-making, which is a factor of great importance for the maintenance of health of a given population, either in the prevention of disease, as is the case of immunizations or with actions in Health Promotion, improving the quality of life of the affected population. Thus, the Journal of Human Growth and Development has contributed enormously to the dissemination of knowledge, not only in Brazil but also in the world making a major effort with its publications in English which is the preferred language of the modern scientific world. It was evidenced the importance of research in the investigation of better ways to obtain the public health of a given community, bringing discussion of themes that involve aspects of human growth and development such as nutritional aspects, sexuality, motor development, covering situations and diseases as obesity, cerebral palsy, dyslexia and violence. The Journal of Human Growth and Development has maintained the tradition of approaching the different aspects that involve clinical practice for people and for Public Health.

“…Faced with the reality of having a child with special needs and without the help of the child's father, mothers needed to experience acceptance processes to adapt. However, without adequate support, adaptive problems may arise that will reflect on individual health and the establishment of bonds and care for their child (7,10) .…”

Objective: to reveal the adaptive problems of the woman abandoned by the child’s parent after Congenital Zika Syndrome, in the light of Roy’s Adaptation Model. Method: a qualitative, descriptive study, based on Roy’s Adaptation Model, developed with six women abandoned by their child’s parent after Zika Congenital Syndrome diagnosis, through interview and Content Analysis technique. Results: adaptive problems appeared in nutrition, activity, rest, and protection patterns, due to limitations in self-care; self-concept, related to dissatisfaction with body image and personal being; in the role of transition role, through difficulties in taking over new roles and in interdependence, related to changes in affective needs. Final considerations: the overload of care for children with Congenital Zika Syndrome, added to the challenges of the abandoned woman by her child’s parent, led to adaptive problems, showing their main difficulties of coping.
