ResumenIntroducción: La mortalidad materna es considerada un indicador sensible al desarrollo social, porque muchas de estas muertes ocurren por razones evitables, vinculadas a condiciones de pobreza. Hay datos estadísticos sobre el número de muertes maternas a nivel internacional y local, que resaltan la magnitud del problema, así como el conocimiento científico de las causas de estos fallecimientos; pero escasa información publicada sobre el impacto familiar y el desequilibrio que se produce cuando ocurre una muerte materna, situación que trae consigo desconocimiento sobre la real situación de los hijos huérfanos y la familia. Objetivo: Conocer las implicaciones familiares y sociales de la muerte materna a través de la revisión sistemática de la literatura científica publicada. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos incluidas en los servicios LILACS, ProQuest, MEDLINE y en la biblioteca virtual de salud SciELO. La muestra final fue de 20 artículos. Resultados: Los estudios mostraron que la pérdida inesperada de la madre genera consecuencias emocionales, económicas y de salud en todos los miembros del hogar. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos indican que esta problemática debe ser abordada de manera integral con el fin de mitigar el impacto que genera la muerte materna. AbstractIntroduction: Maternal mortality is considered a sensitive indicator of social development, as many of these deaths occur for preventable reasons, linked to poverty. There is statistical data on the number of internationally and locally maternal deaths, which highlights the magnitude of the problem as well as the scientific knowledge of the causes of these deaths; but there is limited published information on the family impact and imbalance that occurs when a maternal death occurs, which leads to lack of knowledge about the real situation of orphaned children and family. Objective: To know the family and social implications of maternal death through a systematic review of the published scientific literature. Materials and methods: A search in the databases including LILACS, PROQUEST, MEDLINE services and virtual health library SCIELO was conducted. The final sample consisted of 20 articles. Results: The studies showed that the unexpected loss of the mother generates emotional, economic and health consequences for all household members. Conclusions: The findings indicate that this problem must be addressed comprehensively in order to mitigate the impact generated by maternal death.

Abstract Objective To assess the impact of dental caries and treatment under general anaesthetic (GA) on the everyday lives of children and their families, using child-reported measures of quality of life (QoL) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Method Participants, aged 5–16 years old having treatment for dental caries under GA, were recruited from new patient clinics at Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, Sheffield. OHRQoL was measured before and 3-months after treatment using the Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC). Overall QoL was measured using the Child Health Utility 9D (CHU9D). Parents/caregivers completed the Family Impact Scale (FIS). Results Eighty five parent–child dyads completed the study. There was statistically significant improvement in OHRQoL (mean interval score difference in CARIES-QC = 4.43, p < 0.001) and QoL (mean score difference in CHU9D = 2.48, p < 0.001) following treatment, with moderate to large effect sizes. There was statistically significant improvement in FIS scores (mean score difference = 5.48, p = 0.03). Conclusions Treatment under GA was associated with improvement in QoL and OHRQoL as reported by children, and reduced impacts on the family. This work highlights the importance of GA services in reducing the caries-related impacts experienced by children. Further work is needed investigate the impact of clinical, environmental and individual factors.

The article provides an overview of the scientific literature, concepts of psychologists, teachers, sociologists who define the family as a social institution, small group or system. The forms and types of families are considered depending on social development, educational impact on the child, and the composition of members. The definition of the family of a child with disabilities is given by describing the features of difficult life situations and the phenomenon of family. As a result, it is concluded that the family of a child with disabilities on the one hand meets the totality of family characteristics as a social phenomenon, and on the other has its own characteristics due to the impact on its life activity of having a child with disabilities. For this reason, the family can both become the main developmental resource for the child, and limit its rehabilitation potential.

Abstract: Impact of perfectionistic self-presentation on children and adolescents’ health: A systematic review. Perfectionistic self-presentation is an interpersonal style in which the person attempts to actively show perfection and avoids displaying and disclosing any imperfections. The aim of this study was to review the scientific literature in order to determine the impact of perfectionistic self-presentation on children and adolescents’ health. Scientific evidence was found on the presence of perfectionistic self-presentation from childhood as a related yet differential construct from perfectionism, that negatively impacts on children and adolescents’ mental health through increased interpersonal conflicts, psychological vulnerability and risk of developing anxiety, eating disorders and depression.Resumen: La autopresentación perfeccionista es un estilo interpersonal caracterizado por los intentos de mostrar activamente perfección, de ocultar los errores y no hablar de ellos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue revisar la literatura científica para determinar el impacto de la autopresentación perfeccionista en la salud de niños y adolescentes. Los artículos científicos revisados evidencian la presencia de la autopresentación perfeccionista desde la infancia como un constructo diferenciado del perfeccionismo que incide negativamente en la salud mental de niños y adolescentes aumentando los conflictos interpersonales, la vulnerabilidad psicológica y el riesgo para desarrollar ansiedad, trastornos de la conducta alimentaria y depresión.

During the recent years the issues of taxation on the family agricultural farms has been neglected frequently. Currently, with the discussions pending in Poland on the planned changes in that area, the issues of taxation imposed on agricultural farming requires a new approach. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the actual tax burden on farms in Poland and to investigate the impact of agricultural tax on the formation of revenue of local government. However, an important is to consult opinions of the farmers about the individual tax burden farming structures as well as the entire system of taxation. It is important also to propose changes in the tax applied to the Polish agriculture. Suggested by farmers alternatives in the taxation of individual farms can be used as an attempt to adjust the tax system in our country, to the solutions applied in EU member states. The paper presents the analysis of the taxation on family agricultural farms in Poland with particular focus on the agricultural tax. For the purpose of evaluating the actual burdens to the farms resulting from that title and the analysis of the volume of tax revenues to the budgets of selected communes in 2010, the method of secondary analysis of statistical data originating from the commune administration offices situated in the area of Mazowieckie voivodship was applied. It was analyzed the budgetary resolutions and reports on their implementation in the surveyed municipalities. The authors conducted the study using a questionnaire interview. The studies encompassing 200 family agricultural farms aimed at obtaining the opinions from farmers concerning the taxation system in Poland and possibilities of introducing changes proposed by the State.

Objective: To describe the association between children’s orofacial cleft (OFC) and families’ quality of life (QoL), using the short-form Family Impact Scale questionnaire (FIS-SF). Also assessed were the psychometric properties of the FIS-SF, as well as whether certain demographic and clinical variables impacted the family. Design: Observational cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary care public children’s hospital in New South Wales, Australia. Participants: Parents/caregivers of children with OFC. Main outcome measure(s): The short-form Family Impact Scale questionnaire. Results: Two hundred and fourteen parents completed the FIS-SF. Excellent convergent validity was evident, but discriminant validity was weaker. Those children with velopharyngeal insufficiency/submucous cleft reported lower scores on the family/parental activity, and lower overall family impact scores than those with cleft lip (CL) or cleft palate (CP). Those with cleft lip and palate (CL/P) had poorer family/parental activity scores than those with CP. There were no systematic differences in FIS-SF scores by the child’s age, gender, private health insurance, living location, the number of cleft-related operations, or whether a child had commenced orthodontic treatment. Conclusions: The FIS-SF is a valid and reliable measure for determining the impact that OFC has on family QoL. The impact of OFC on children’s families differs according to cleft type.
