- I Jornadas Trans da IA - Identidade e Afetos, AssociaçãoPublication . Vila-Real, Ângela; Perpétuo, CatarinaDa colaboração entre a IA-Identidades e Afetos, Associação e a APPsyCI resultou primeiro a organização das Jornadas Trans, e, a partir deste evento, um conjunto de trabalhos que agora temos o prazer de divulgar. O nosso objetivo, tanto mais que foi o primeiro evento realizado entre nós sobre o tema, nunca foi o de apresentar um pensamento fechado, mas antes o de abordar o género, quer do ponto de vista conceptual, quer do ponto de vista clínico, após as nossas experiências e questionamentos diversos, atravessados pelo atual momento cultural e certamente em transição. O género não assiste apenas à realidade trans; é uma experiência vivida, mais ou menos conscientemente, por cada uma e qualquer pessoa, nas suas vivências individuais e de relação. Pode, portanto, ser mais ou menos definido, mais ou menos relevante, mais ou menos transitório. Pode variar com a idade ou a época da vida. Para aqueles que, para além de vivenciarem a sua própria experiência de género, também se confrontam na clínica com as experiências, vivências, dúvidas e dores de outrem, torna-se imperioso pensar as questões ligadas ao género, com que nos confrontamos e com que nos confrontamos em situação clínica. Os trabalhos que encontrarão têm perspetivas muito diferentes entre si e têm a sua origem em experiências e em disciplinas distintas. Procurámos essa diversidade mesmo quando discordamos da perspetiva dos autores, pois diferentes perspetivas resultam em novos estímulos e reposicionamentos.
- A systematic review on attachment and sleep at preschool agePublication . Perpétuo, Catarina; Diniz, Eva; Verissimo, ManuelaSleep is a biological process that impacts nearly every domain of a child’s life. Sleep-wake regulation influences and it is highly influenced by developmental variables related to parent-child relationships, such as attachment. The main goal of the present systematic review is to analyze and integrate the findings of empirical studies investigating the relations between attachment and sleep in preschool age, a period marked by important developmental changes that challenge both attachment system and sleep-wake regulation. A database search was performed using a combination of relevant keywords, leading to the identification of 524 articles, with 19 manuscripts assessed for eligibility; finally, seven studies (2344 children) were included. Overall, the findings were not consistent, with some studies reporting significant associations between attachment security and sleep quality, as well as between attachment insecurity and sleep problems, whereas others did not find significant associations. The results are discussed in light of the available theoretical models and integrated in the context of measurement approaches to attachment and sleep heterogeneity, aiming to guide future research on the topic.
- Attachment to mother and father, sleep, and well-being in late middle childhoodPublication . Perpétuo, Catarina; El Sheikh, Mona; Diniz, Eva; Verissimo, ManuelaThe security of attachment has been related to several advantageous developmental outcomes, such as good sleep quality and higher well-being indicators. However, few studies concern the associations between attachment dimensions to both parents, sleep, and well-being in late middle childhood. Our study aims to expand knowledge in this area, clarifying the above-mentioned associations by considering the secure base and safe haven dimensions of attachment. We also investigate the role of sleep as a mediator of the relationship between attachment and well-being. The 258 participants (49.2% girls, mean age = 11.19, SD = 0.85) completed self-report questionnaires regarding attachment (KSS), sleep (SSR), and well-being (CHIP-CE). The results show significant associations between attachment to both parents (0.40 ** ≤ r ≤ 0.61 **) and between attachment security, sleep (−0.21 ** ≤ r ≤ −0.35 **) and child well-being (0.42 ** ≤ r ≤ 0.47 **). Besides, sleep quality partially mediated the relations between all attachment dimensions to both parents and wellbeing. The results are discussed in light of attachment theory, focusing on the comparison between attachment to mother and father as a valid framework to unravel differences in child well-being, with sleep as a process that can help to explain the mechanisms through which attachment security enables subjective perceptions of well-being.

- Comparison Between Actigraphy Records and Parental Reports of Child's SleepPublication . Perpétuo, Catarina; Fernandes, Marília; Verissimo, ManuelaGiven the impact of sleep in several domains of a child's development, the comparison between actigraphy and parental questionnaires is of great importance in preschool-aged children, an understudied group. While parental reports tend to overestimate sleep duration, actigraphy boosts the frequency of night-waking's. Our primary goal was to compare actigraphy data and parental reports (Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, CSHQ), regarding bedtime, wake-up time, sleep duration, and wake after sleep onset (WASO), using the Bland-Altman technique. Forty-six children, age 3-6 years, and their parents participated. Results suggest that, despite existing associations between sleep schedule variables measured by both methods (from r = 0.57 regarding bedtime at weekends to r = 0.86 regarding wake-up time during the week, ps), differences between them were significant and agreements were weak, with parents overestimating bedtimes and wake-up times in relation to actigraphy. Differences between actigraphy and CSHQ were ± 52 min for weekly bedtime, ± 38 min for weekly wake-up time, ±159 min for total sleep time, and ± 62 min for WASO, indicating unsatisfactory agreement between methods. Correlations between actigraphy data and CSHQ dimensions are also explored. Our study contributes to the knowledge of the characteristics of each instrument, along with their tendency to overestimate and underestimate certain sleep parameters. We conclude that a complementary use of both instruments would better inform clinical practice and research on a child's sleep.
