El Síndrome de Asperger es una enfermedad del neurodesarrollo caracterizado por deficiencias en la interacción social y la comunicación,sin retraso en el desarrollo cognitivo y del lenguaje, considerado dentro de los Trastornos Generalizados del Desarrollo y de las Condiciones del Espectro Autista. Debido a las características de este síndrome estos pacientes requieren atención y técnicas conductuales específicas, parapoder realizar el tratamiento dental. El objetivo de este reporte es dar a conocer los cuidados y el manejo de conducta para el tratamiento dental en pacientes con Síndrome de Asperger. Palabras clave: Síndrome de Asperger, desensibilización sistemática, cuidado dental, salud bucal, prevención primaria, comportamiento.  AbstractAsperger syndrome is a disease of the neurodevelopmental characterized by deficiencies in social interaction and communication, without delay in cognitive development and language, and is considered within pervasive developmental disorders and the autism spectrumconditions. Due to the characteristics these patients require care and specific behavioral techniques, to perform dental treatment. The objective of this report is to present the care and behaviour management for dental treatment in patients with Asperger syndrome. Key words: Asperger syndrome, systematic desensitization, dental care, oral health, primary prevention, behaviour.

And Performance

Examination stress is a ubiquitous phenomenon that has, in the present times, adversely affected the learning outcomes and performance of the students at all levels- primary, secondary or higher education. It’s increasing intensity specifically among students appearing for high stakes board examination evokes a response from the teaching fraternity at the earliest. The reason being that a prolonged experience of stress with respect to evaluative situations is bound to prove detrimental to the mental, physical and emotional well-being of the students. For the nation to develop and progress towards a knowledge society, it is imperative that the students are taught to cope with stressful stimuli and improve performance. Study-Skills Training is an intervention intended to improve their study and test- taking habits and skills. It is based on a cognitive-deficit model which is directed towards improving a variety of cognitive activities that affect the organization, processing and retrieval of information and thereby help in reducing the experience of examination stress. Systematic desensitization as a process can be used to unlearn anxiety reactions by replacing the anxiety response with a calm, relaxed state. Thus, a combination of study-skills training and systematic desensitization has been shown to be effective and superior in alleviating test anxiety

Gathering Data

One of the issues facing researchers studying very select populations is how to obtain reliability estimates for their instruments. When the populations and resulting samples of studies are very small and select, gathering data for typical reliability estimates becomes very difficult. As a result, many researchers ignore the concern about reliability of their instrumentation and forge ahead collecting data. In response to this concern, Bandura's model of social cognition and Wolpe's model of systematic desensitization were combined and applied to a group of 90 undergraduates completing a Communication Satisfaction Scale designed to assess the attitudes of intubated patients in a hospital Intensive Care Unit. Stimuli (text, auditory and visual) were provided to sensitize the subjects to the intubation procedure and to enable the subjects to imagine what it is like to be an intubated patient. The subjects responded to 10 items focusing on the communication issues of intubated patients on a scale in Likert format. Internal reliability (Cronbach alpha) was 0.83 for the entire scale. The results are discussed within both a social cognition and a measurement framework. While the resulting reliabilities cannot be directly applied to the intubated sample, the procedure may provide critical feedback to researchers and instrument developers prior to the actual administration of the instrument in research.
