Resumo: 15 de Junho: breve viagem ao país da idade avançada
Hoje, 15 de Junho, é o dia que a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) propôs e viu aprovar nas Nações Unidas o dia anual de alerta para os maus tratos sofridos pelas pessoas idosas. Este anúncio formal tinha sido impulsionado por Rosalie Wolf e outros membros da Rede Internacional de Prevenção do Abuso a Pessoas Mais Velhas, há 17 anos. E foi oficialmente reconhecido pelas Nações Unidas em 2011, através da sua resolução 66/127. Estados-membros, organizações internacionais e regionais, organizações não-governamentais e a sociedade civil são convidados a dar conta deste dia, procurando e reflectindo sobre os dados que mostram o quanto as pessoas mais velhas sofrem danos de vária ordem, perpetrados por outras pessoas e profissionais da sua confiança; mas, também, por instituições e mesmo pela cultura onde habitam.

Título: Perinatal mental health and well-being in fathers
Autor: Conde, Ana; Figueiredo, Bárbara; Milgrom, Jeannette
Resumo: Research focusing on fathers’ perinatal mental health is recent and less substantial than the research
focusing on mothers. Nevertheless, mental health problems and disorders are common in fathers
during the perinatal period and should be the focus of attention, namely in planning promotion,
preventive, and remedial interventions, with expected benefits for all of the family over time.
The major purpose and potential contribution of this Research Topic is to share conceptual,
scientific and practical essays that can inform health care systems and policies about the best
practices in the field. The proposals included in this Research Topic reflect the diversity of research
aims among studies of fathers’ perinatal mental health, namely the development and validation of
assessment measures for a range of issues including involvement with the infant (Webb et al.; Pinto
et al.), the study of the impact of parental relationship satisfaction on infant development (Nicolaus
et al.) and associated processes, such as paternal bonding (Bieleninik et al.; Schaber et al.) and
paternal postpartum mental health (Macdonald et al.). The effectiveness and scope of interventions
aiming to promote fathers’ psychological adjustment and family functioning during parenthood
(Rodrigues et al.; Tandon et al.; Battle et al.) and the analysis of the neurobiological correlates of
fatherhood (Sobral et al.) are other relevant emerging areas of research.
Consistent evidence supports the impact of fathers’ mental disorders on children’s mental
health and development, on mothers’ mental health, and on the overall family functioning. The
importance of considering fathers’ mental health in perinatal health care and treatments is also
consistently suggested. Nevertheless, further research is needed to provide better tools to screen
and assess fathers, focusing their specific needs and psychological experience specificities across
different cultures. Moreover, a better understanding of the mechanisms and processes involved in
father’ perinatal psychological (mal)adjustment and parenting should be obtained.
More than being seen exclusively as a source of maternal support, empirical evidence strongly
indicates that fathers should be seen as a developing individual, with a particular experience of
the phenomena that occur during pregnancy and after childbirth, as well as of the parental role.
Using a developmental approach, both the research and clinical practice should promote early
(prenatal) identification of fathers at psychosocial risk, exploring the risk and protective factors
of their mental health and well-being. Processes associated to father’s mental health, as well as
processes explaining the impact of father’s mental health on children’s development and mental
health are also essential. Evidence-based interventions addressing the mental health and specific
needs of fathers, but also considering all members of the family system, promoting communication,
cohesion and mutual support, are still needed. Such promotion, preventive, and remedial
interventions are expected to benefit both father’s and children’s developmental trajectories over
time, as well as interrupt the intergenerational transmission of psychosocial risk. At this level,
exploring the neurobiological processes involved in parenting is essential and should be prioritized.
In sum, despite the important steps that have been taken in the last two decades in the study and intervention in the perinatal mental health of parents, there is still a long way to go. And at this level, fathers are undoubtedly one of the main actors to consider!

Resumo: [Extract] Human behavior is largely based on our understanding and interpretation of the feelings and
actions of others. In order to function in and adapt to this social world, we rely on social
cognitive processes such as empathy and perspective taking (1, 2). Empathy is now commonly
characterized as consisting of cognitive and affective components.

Resumo: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to several changes that have affected not only emotional and psychological well-being but also eating behavior. Herein, we sought to evaluate if depicting pandemic-related sanitary measures in a food consumption video would impact food appraisal,
decreasing food attractiveness and the desire to eat. Participants performed, on two different days,
an online protocol in which foods presented in a video, and following, in pictures, were evaluated
regarding visual aspect, expected smell and taste, and desire to eat. The videos presented each day
differed only regarding the presence/absence of sanitary elements adopted during the pandemic,
composing COVID/non-COVID conditions. For both conditions, sweet and high-calorie foods were
better evaluated when compared to salty and low-calorie foods, with the sweet food evaluation higher
for the non-COVID condition when compared to the COVID-condition. Only for the non-COVID
condition was the reported desire to eat higher immediately after the video, and for both conditions,
it was higher at the end of the task when compared to the baseline. Correlation analysis suggests
that depression and anxiety symptoms may reduce the smell appreciation of foods presented in the
pandemic scenario. We conclude that food perception is affected by the presence of the sanitary
measures adopted during the pandemic by reducing the desire to eat and food hedonic appreciation
and, further, that depression and anxiety symptoms may be related to a higher negative impact of the
pandemic on eating behavior.

Resumo: [Excerto] O treino desportivo constitui uma excelente oportunidade para fazer florescer as
crianças e os jovens em todo o seu potencial. Aceita-se de bom grado que o desporto
promove competências e valores nos seus intervenientes, como a resiliência, a
superação, a autoestima ou o respeito pelos outros. Todavia não é evidente que
estes efeitos positivos ocorram de forma automática. É necessária uma intervenção
adequada e fomentadora da aquisição de ‘bons’ valores. Neste sentido, os adultos
que supervisionam os programas desportivos são cruciais e, entre estes, os
treinadores surgem, definitivamente, como os mais importantes. [...]
