The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peer and parental control factors and smoking behaviour of adolecents among junior high school students in Mataram. Observational study was used to collect data from 108 students aged 12 to 17 on their own smoking status and parental controls. The result showed secondary students who smoke are subjected to peer group pressures and they have fewer parental controls with regard to smoking. More pressures on smoking within the peer groups were associated with a greater likelihood of smoking behaviour (p>0.05; p=0.642). However, parental controls on smoking have also been found to have influence to decreasing the likelihood of smoking behaviour among 7th and 8th students (p>0.05; p=0.440). In general, peers has stronger effects on initiation of adolecents smoking behavior than parental control influences. This findings suggest that more extensive controls on smoking at home may reduce adolecents smoking behaviour. Thus, smoking prevention for adolecents might be focused on social context such as, resisting to peer pressure and enhacing parental communication.

There is convincing evidence that demonstrates traumatic stress and aggressive behavior are highly related among adolescents. The evidence is less clear regarding the direction of this relation. The purpose of this study was to examine the reciprocal longitudinal relations between physical aggression and traumatic stress among a predominantly African American sample of middle school students. Support was found for traumatic stress predicting increased levels of physical aggression across the winter to the spring of the sixth grade for boys and across all waves from the fall of the seventh grade to the fall of the eighth grade for both boys and girls. Conversely, physical aggression during the winter of the sixth grade predicted a decrease in traumatic stress in the spring of the sixth grade for both boys and girls. These findings suggest that interventions may need to incorporate skills that are aligned with trauma-informed care practices in order to reduce traumatic stress and physical aggression among adolescents.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is a well known phenomenon that people from historically disadvantaged communities, tend to do well in society despite the numerous risk factors that complicate life for them. This study has this phenomenon as it's subject. The unit of analysis of the study was Grade 12 achievers from a historically disadvantaged community. The main purpose of this study was to determine why these Grade 12 learners managed to excell academically despite the risk factors present in their community. The secondary focus of the study was to identify the risk factors that the learners had to face to eventually achieve academic success and the protective factors which contributed to their academic success. The literature review focussed on the concept "resilience" and related concepts such as risk factors, protective factors and the adolescent development phase within the framework of positive psychology, eco-systemic and asset based approaches. The research was conducted using a qualitative interpretive study approach. Seven achievers from the coloured community in the Western Cape, were interviewed. The data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. The data was discussed by placing the risk factors and the protective factors in five different systems namely, the individual, the family, the school, the peergroup and the community. The findings of the study indicate that the above systems are in constant interaction with one another and that the protective factors can be utilized to overcome the risk factors. The study thus proves that, although the participants were exposed to risk factors, they managed to display great resilience in using protective factors. The community was identified as one of the biggest risk factors, but by utilizing certain protective factors as are found in the individual, the family, the school and the peergroup, the participants were able to protect themselves against the risk factors resulting in their academic success. The personal strengths of the participants proved to be the most important protective factor in a historically disadvantaged community.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit is 'n bekende fenomeen dat persone wat in histories benadeelde omstandighede grootgeword het, ten spyte van risikofaktore, suksesvolle produktiewe lede van die samelewing word. Dit is juis hierdie fenomeen wat dié studie ondersoek het. Hierdie studie het pertinent bruin graad 12-presteerders uit 'n histories benadeelde gemeenskap as eenheid van analise geteiken. Die doel van hierdie studie was om uit te vind waarom graad 12-leerders ten spyte van verskeie risikofaktore binne 'n histories benadeelde gemeenskap daarin geslaag het om akademies goed te presteer. Die newevraagstellings van die studie was om uit te vind watter risikofaktore die deelnemers moes trotseer ten einde akademiese sukses te behaal en ook watter beskermingsfaktore tot hierdie deelnemers se akademiese sukses bygedra het. Die literatuuroorsig het die konsep "veerkragtigheid" en aanverwante begrippe soos risikofaktore, beskermingsfaktore en die adolessente ontwikkelingsfase binne die raamwerk van positiewe sielkunde, die ekosistemiese en bategebaseerde benaderings ondersoek. 'n Kwalitatiewe interpretatiewe studie is geloods om die navorsing uit te voer. Individuele onderhoude is met sewe presteerders uit 'n bruin gemeenskap in die Wes-Kaapprovinsie gevoer. Die data is met behulp van kwalitatiewe inhoudsanalise ontleed. Die data is bespreek deur risikofaktore en beskermingsfaktore binne vyf sisteme naamlik die individu, die gesin, die skool, die portuurgroep en die gemeenskap te plaas. Die bevindings van die studie toon dat bogenoemde sisteme in voortdurende wisselwerking met mekaar is en dat die beskermingsfaktore gebruik kan word om die risikofaktore te bowe te kom. Die bevindinge toon derhalwe dat, alhoewel die deelnemers voortdurend risikofaktore ervaar het, hulle met behulp van sekere beskermingsfaktore veerkragtigheid aan die dag kon lê. Die gemeenskap is as een van die grootste risikofaktore uitgelig, maar met behulp van sekere beskermingsfaktore soos gevind in die individu, die gesin, die skool, en die portuurgroep, kon die deelnemers hulleself teen risikofaktore buffer en akademiese sukses behaal. Die persoonlike sterktes van die deelnemers het as die belangrikste beskermingsfaktor in 'n histories benadeelde gemeenskap na vore getree.

Bibliography
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this investigation was to determine the needs and problems of Standard six pupils in schools controlled by the Department of Education and Culture (Administration: House of Representatives) and the extent to which these are being addressed by existing educational structures. The investigatior: consists of two parts, a literature study and an empirical investigation. The literature study consists of an examination of South African and international research relevant to the investigation. An analysis of South African and international school guidance programmes aimed at meeting the needs and solving possible problems is included and an overview is given of the role that the school, both nationally and internationally, can, is and should be playing to meet these needs and help solve these problems. The empirical investigation examined standard six pupils' problems and needs concerning extra-mural activities, relationships with peers and older pupils, teachers and parents and personal adjustment. A questionnaire to determine these needs and problems was administered to a representative random sample of secondary school pupils in the Cape Peninsula. To determine what is being done to address these needs and problems, a second questionnaire was sent to the 58 dual-medium state controlled schools in thE~ Cape Peninsula for standard Six guidance teachers. A third questionnaire was sent to the Department of Education and culture (Administration: House of Representatives) to determine whether the Department agreed that the school guidance programme for Standard six pupils had been adequately applied by the school guidance teachers. Both South African and internati.onal research indicates that many adolescents experience adjustment problems on entering secondary school. Education authorities worldwide address these problems in various ways. In South l~frica, guidance and counselling services are available through elll the education departments, but their effectiveness and implementation need to be clarified because uniform control is not being exercised. The present research showed that most of the secondary schools in the survey do not have an orientation programme to assist pupils to bridge the gap between the primary and the secondary schools. Although this research does not offer conclusive evidence that Standard Six pupils are adversely affected by their present circumstances, the following needs were established: pupils • need to belong, supported by their opinion that extra-mural activities should be compulsory pupils' need for parent~; to be more lnvolved in school activities pupils' need for satisfactory relationships with teachers pupils' need for satisfactory peer relationships. Bas~~ on the~e findings, a number of recommendations have been made. These include: a sound orientation programme and the Careful selection of teachers who are sensitive to the needs of standard six 1Jupils an extra-mural programme where teachers and senior pupils can play a significant role to enhance the formation of constructive social groups and engender a sense of belonging a guidance programme incorporating group work and which teaches coping and problem-solving skills one non-racial education department with equal financing for all pupils and a uniform system of examination and certifica.tion the establishment of "mini-schools" or "middle schools" and the adoption of extended support for pupils to reduce adjustment problems.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was om die behoeftes en probleme van Standerd Ses-Ieerlinge in skole onder die Departement van Onderwys en Kultuur (Administrasie: Huis van Verteenwoordigers) te bepaal asook die mate waarin hierdie behoeftes en probleme deur bestaande onderwysstrukture aangespreek word. Die ondersoek bestaan uit twee dele, 'n literatuurstudie en empiriese ondersoek. Die literatuurstudie bestaan uit 'n ondersoek van relevante suidAfrikaanse en internasionale navorsing. Dit sluit ook in 'n ontleding van beide Suid-Afrikaanse en internasionale skoolvoorligtingsprogramme wat op behoeftebevrediging asook probleemoplossing gemik is. 'n Oorsig word ook gegee van die rol wat die skool, op nasionale asook internasionale vIak, kan, moet en reeds speel om behoeftebevrediging teweeg te bring. Die empiriese ondersoek het standerd Ses-leerlinge se behoeftes en probleme met betrekking tot hul houding jeens die skool, akademiese prestasie, buitemuurse aktiwiteite, verhouding met die portuurgroep en ouer leerlinge, onderwysers en ouers, en persoonlike aanpassing ondersoek. 'n Vraelys om hierdie behoeftes en probleme vas te stel is deur 'n verteenwoordigende ewekansige monster van sekondêre skool leerlinge in die Kaapse Skiereiland ingevul. Om vas te stel wat reeds gedoen word om hierdie behoeftes en probleme aan te spreek, is vraelyste aan standerd Sesvoorligtingonderwysers van die 58 dubbelmedium staatsbeheerde skole in die Kaapse Skiereiland gestuur. 'n Derde vraely- is aan die Departement van Onderwys (Administrasie: Huis van Verteenwoordigers) gestuur met die doel om vas te stel of die skoolvoorligtingsprogram vir standerd sesleerlinge doeltreffend aangewend is deur die skoolvoorligtingsonderwysers. Beide suid-Afrikaanse en internasionale navorsing toon dat baie adolessente aanpassingsprobleme ondervind by toetrede tot die sekondAre skool. Onderwysowerhede wêreldwyd spreek hierdie probleme verskillend aan. In suid-Afrika is voorligtings- en raadgewende dienste deur middel van al die onderwysdepartemente beskikbaar, maar hul effektiwiteit en implementering moet ondersoek word aangesien eenvormige kontrole nie uitgeoefen word nie. Die onderhawige navorsing het getoon dat die meeste sekondere skole in die opname nie oor 'n orienteringsprogram beskik om leerlinge te help om die gaping tussen die primere en die sekondere skool te oorbrug nie. Alhoewel hierdie ondersoek nie afdoende bewys lewer dat Standerd Ses-leerlinge deur hul huidige omstandighede benadeel word nie, is die volgende behoeftes vasgestel: - leerlinge se behoefte om in te skakel, wat ondersteun word deur hul mening dat buitemuurse aktiwiteite verpligtend behoort te wees - leerlinge se behoefte dat ouers meer betrokke moet wees by skoolaktiwiteite - leerlinge se behoefte aan bevredigende verhoudings met hul onderwysers - leerlinge se behoefte aan In bevredigende verhouding met hul portuurgroep. 'n Aantal aanbevelings is op grond van hierdie bevindinge gedoen. Dit sluit in: - 'n goeie orienteringsprogram en die omsigtige seleksie van onderwysers wat sensitief is vir die behoeftes van Standerd Ses-leerlinge - 'n buitemuurseprogram waar onderwysers en senior leerlinge 'n doeltreffende rol kan speel om konstruktiewe sosiale groepe te bevorder sowel as In gevoel van samehorigheid - 'n voorligtingsprogram wat groepwerk insluit en wat lewens-en probleemoplossingsvaardighede onderrig - een nie-rassige onderwysdepartement met gelyke finansiering vir aIle leerlinge asook In uniforme eksamen- en sertifiseringstelsel - die oprig van "miniskole" of "middelskole" en die daarstel van aanvullende ondersteuning vir leerlinge om aanpassingsprobleme te verminder

O uso de drogas ? um fen?meno que ocorre com muita freq??ncia na adolesc?ncia, por ser um per?odo de maior vulnerabilidade, no qual o indiv?duo ainda n?o desenvolveu de forma adequada algumas habilidades. Como ? uma etapa do desenvolvimento que envolve adapta??es e mudan?as, pode propiciar o surgimento de transtornos psicol?gicos, comportamentais e sociais, entre os quais, o transtorno por uso de subst?ncias. Entre as drogas il?citas, a maconha ? a mais usada, aparecendo em primeiro lugar nas pesquisas e com maior uso por adolescentes do sexo masculino. Nos transtornos por uso de maconha, podem existir d?ficits em habilidades sociais sob a forma de baixa compet?ncia social e dificuldades espec?ficas, como enfrentamento de situa??es de risco ? auto-estima e resolu??o de problemas. O objetivo dessa disserta??o ? contribuir para o conhecimento cient?fico a partir da compreens?o dos comportamentos de intera??o social em nossa realidade, com a proposta de verificar a associa??o entre as habilidades sociais em adolescentes com abuso ou depend?ncia de maconha com as habilidades sociais de adolescentes sem uso de maconha. Esta disserta??o compreende dois estudos: uma revis?o te?rica e um estudo emp?rico. Na parte te?rica, realizou-se uma revis?o sobre as habilidades sociais em adolescentes usu?rios de maconha, atrav?s de buscas nas bases de dados Pschynfo, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Proquest, Medline e Lilacs, entre 1996 e 2006. Os descritores utilizados foram social skills, social skills training, social competence, assertiveness, adolescents, teeenagers, substance abuse, drugs abuse, cannabis e marijuana. Nas bases de l?ngua portuguesa, os descritores foram habilidades sociais, treinamento em habilidades sociais, assertividade, adolescentes, abuso de subst?ncias, drogas e maconha. Tamb?m foram analisados livros e artigos que n?o se encontravam nas refer?ncias das fontes indexadas. Encontrou-se na literatura pesquisas, em sua maioria de l?ngua inglesa, apontando a exist?ncia de d?ficits, principalmente a dificuldade em resistir ?s drogas e dizer n?o, al?m de concluir que a constru??o de habilidades de resist?ncia ao oferecimento de drogas, a auto-efic?cia e o est?mulo ? capacidade de tomada de decis?es, pode reduzir o uso de subst?ncias. Poucos estudos brasileiros foram encontrados abordando esta tem?tica. O estudo emp?rico objetivou avaliar as habilidades sociais de adolescentes usu?rios de maconha e comparar seu desempenho com n?o usu?rios de maconha, a fim de identificar se h? ou n?o maior d?ficit nas habilidades sociais no grupo de usu?rios. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: ficha de dados s?cio-demogr?ficos, entrevista cl?nica estruturada, baseada nos crit?rios do DSMIV; Invent?rio de Habilidades Sociais IHS; Screening Cognitivo do WISC-III e do WAIS-III e Invent?rios de Ansiedade e de Depress?o de Beck - BAI e BDI. A amostra total constituiu-se de 98 adolescentes, subdividida em dois grupos, 49 usu?rios de maconha e 49 n?o usu?rios de maconha, com idades entre 15 e 22 anos, e escolaridade m?nima de 5? s?rie do Ensino Fundamental. Foi um estudo quantitativo, transversal, observacional, de compara??o entre dois grupos: usu?rios de maconha e n?o usu?rios de maconha. Os resultados mostraram diferen?as significativas no screening cognitivo e na avalia??o da presen?a de sintomas de ansiedade e depress?o, com maiores preju?zos no grupo de usu?rios de maconha. Os achados finais apontam que n?o houve diferen?as estat?sticas significativas no escore geral do IHS entre o grupo de usu?rios e n?o usu?rios, mas foram encontradas diferen?as significativas entre os grupos em rela??o a dois dos cinco fatores do IHS. O grupo de usu?rios de maconha apresentou um desempenho mais prejudicado no Fator 4, Auto-exposi??o a desconhecidos ou a situa??es novas e no Fator 5, Autocontrole da agressividade a situa??es aversivas.Conclui-se com esse estudo que adolescentes usu?rios de maconha apresentam mais preju?zos nas habilidades que adolescentes n?o usu?rios de maconha. Palavras Chave: habilidades sociais; adolescentes; maconha.

En el presente trabajo se dará a conocer la experiencia musicoterapéutica con L3, un adolecente de 15 años quién presenta Parálisis cerebral. Ésta experiencia tuvo una duración de cuatro meses entre los meses de agosto a noviembre del año 2012 realizándose una sesión semanal de 1 hora de duración, en la Escuela Especial a la cual L asiste. La experiencia musicoterapéutica realizada con L se dividió en tres etapas: la etapa de diagnostico, la etapa de desarrollo y por último la etapa de cierre. En la etapa de diagnóstico se realizaron actividades que le brindaran libertad a L para expresarse a través de los sonidos, gestos y expresión corporal con el fin de conocerlo y crear vínculo con él. En la etapa de desarrollo se sumo la actividad de relajación y se fue ampliando el tiempo de exploración y ejecución instrumental con el fin de disminuir la tensión corporal que se observo en la etapa previa. Y por último en la etapa de cierre se fue consolidando el proceso con las actividades favoritas de L y se preparo para despedida. A lo largo de la experiencia se dieron fenómenos importantes en relación a la ejecución instrumental por parte de L y también se construyeron vínculos fuertes que estimularon su trabajo de sesión en sesión, brindándole a L un espacio de bienestar y libre expresión.

The current study examined the scale-level factor structure of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MVIPI-A) in a sample of 428 gifted and talented adolescents to validate use of this approach with a gifted population. The MMPIA structural summary was developed to help simplify interpretation of the 69 scales and subscales that are produced with a full administration of this assessment. A principal component analysis was conducted in an attempt to replicate the eight-factor structure identified by Archer, Belevich, and Elkins (1994) in the MMPI-A normative sample and by Archer and Krishnamurthy (1997) in a clinical sample. Results yielded eight factors which accounted for 69.57% of the total variance. Six of these eight factors appeared highly congruent with the original eight structural summary factors identified by Archer, Belevich, and Elkins in the MMPI-A normative sample. The results of this factor analysis supported use of the structural summary approach with gifted and talented high school students. This investigation then used MMPI-A structural summary profiles to describe the psychological characteristics of gifted adolescents. The main finding was that the gifted and talented sample presented with scores within the normal range, and the percentage of gifted students with elevations on any one factor did not exceed the percentage expected in a normal distribution. The highest number of elevations was on the Naivete factor followed by Social Discomfort and then General Maladjustment. These results suggested that this sample of gifted and talented adolescents presented with no more psychological maladjustment than would be expected from any other group of adolescents. Implications of these results for future research and practice with gifted and talented youth were discussed.

In the face of the socio-cultural problems of urban violence, it is observed that there are teenage practices considered leisure that lead to damage and harm to individuals who participate in them and to society. Since contemporaneity is pervaded by superficial and volatile relationships, characteristics that are very particular of the consumerist condition that comes across the building and establishment of social ties in the current capitalist society. Therefore, this is an explanation of theoretical inferences and of field research pertaining adolescence and its leisure practices, a result of this qualitative investigation of social emphasis achieved through group work with data management proposal sustained by technical concepts of content analysis. Accordingly, the field work was developed by the mentioned group meetings over the violence theme in which it was sought through playfulness and debates to collect expressions of meanings attributed to leisure experiences of teenagers located in violent environments of the city of Fortaleza-Ceará-Brazil. As a result of this investigation, through the discussion of outcomes, central themes emerged: inter community relational division, deficient school reality, violent spectacle, threatened vital space, family as a conflicting surrounding, poor communication, varied leisure practices chosen, the individual s purposes posture. In fact, the adolescent finds itself in need to discover and unveil the existent meaning in the experiences that can bring self-knowledge and personal and social development. After all, the current sociocultural perspective is presented replete with incentives, very particular of the consumerist condition, that encourage the maintenance of immature behaviors which should be progressively surpassed in the course of the adolescent phase. Keywords: leisure, adolescence, contemporaneity, violence.
Diante da problemática sociocultural da violência urbana observa-se que há práticas adolescentes consideradas como lazer que acarretam danos e prejuízos para o indivíduo que as exerce e para a sociedade. Já que na contemporaneidade encontram-se relacionamentos superficiais e efêmeros, enquanto características específicas da conjuntura consumista que perpassa a constituição dos laços sociais da atual sociedade capitalista. Assim, explana-se aqui inferências teóricas e de pesquisa de campo referentes à adolescência e suas práticas de lazer, fruto desta investigação qualitativa de enfoque social realizada através de trabalho grupal com proposta de tratamento dos dados amparado nas noções da técnica da análise de conteúdo. Sendo, pois, o trabalho de campo desenvolvido através dos referidos encontros grupais em torno da temática da violência nos quais buscou-se mediante a ludicidade e discursividade recolher expressões de sentidos atribuídos às experiências de lazer de adolescentes inseridos em âmbitos violentos da cidade de Fortaleza-Ceará-Brasil. A partir deste trabalho de pesquisa emergiram, mediante a discussão dos resultados, temas centrais: divisão relacional intra-comunitária, realidade escolar deficitária, espetáculo violento, espaço vital ameaçado, família como âmbito de conflito, precariedade comunicacional, práticas diversas de lazer elegidas, posturas de significação do vivido. Na verdade, o sujeito adolescente encontra-se necessitado de descobrir e desvelar o sentido presente nas experiências que é capaz de gerar autoconhecimento e desenvolvimento pessoal e social. Até porque a perspectiva sociocultural atual apresenta-se permeada de estímulos, próprios da sociedade de consumo, que favorecem a manutenção de posturas imaturas as quais deveriam ser progressivamente ultrapassadas ao longo do percurso da fase adolescente.

The objective of this literature study was to describe the nurse’s preventive actions to prevent diabetes type 2 among children and adolescents in school age. It emerged from the analysis that the nurse is working according to three pillars; screening, lifestyle changes and counselling/education. This result showed that what often increase difficulties when working with screening are: undefined guidelines, lack of time and resources. Overweight/obesity is one of many indicators to develop diabetes type 2, therefore it is important that both BMI and waist are measured. The nurse was working actively with education and intervention, for example engaging schools to make diet changes and increase physical activity. She/he was also giving counselling to children, adolescents and their families about the disease diabetes type 2 and how it could be prevented. Barriers often experienced by the nurse in her/his preventive work were the families’ attitudes and lifestyles. There were often an expressed wish from nurses to receive guidance in their work on motivating to lifestyle changes.
