Some studies have shown that the way the teenager will act before family ties and the availability of resources and social health of families associated with certain personality disorders and emotional stability and the welfare of subjects. The family probably is related to how to evaluate and perceive changes in health and risk and the ability to respond and overcome difficult situations. These data gave us the curiosity to know how these variables are related to the perception of health that are teenagers and how it determines health in adults.

Summary: Considering that career success depends on the proper use of knowledge and procedures, and the perception domain (security) expressed in relation thereto, the inherent performance, as well as that of the perception of himself or dela image in itself, especially in the case of the nursing profession, this study is intended for the construction and testing of a psychometric instrument called "Perception Scale Military Skills in Pre-licenciado in Nursing (EPPCPPLE)." For the construction and validation of the measuring instrument is worked in several distinct phases. An initial, exploratory kind, through the implementation of a questionnaire to nurses, teachers and students coming to the conclusion Degree in Nursing. This allowed the analysis of the content of the responses obtained. These results complement the exploratory aspects extracted from the literature review. It was subsequently enhanced work of continuous review of the items constructed from the 500 propositions initial, 302 which we believe were broad enough to cover a large part of genetic elements of the expertise earned by pre-licenciados nursing (PLE- students 4 Â ° degree in nursing close to finishing the course and begin his professional activity). The scale was subsequently subjected to two processes of analysis, review and reconstruction of the items, validating content first one consists of a panel of experts and others consisting of a panel of PLE. Upon completion of this review and reconstruction of the items, up a first version of the EPPCPPLE composed still 282 propositions. It made the first applications of the scale, and corrected and validated in three schools in the country, two public and one private to a sample of 306 students. Thus, after the results and made the "bottom line", analysis and survey results, were eliminated 116 items (of 282), and the version of the EPPCPPLE, implement and validate all schools of Nursing Islands and mainland Portugal. The scale was composed of 166 proposals on elements of professional competence PLE. After this new application will be appealed again to a set of analysis and psychometric studies being eliminated other 79 propositions plus, so that the final version of the EPPCPPL, was finally composed of 87 items or elements of professional competence pre - licensed nursing. Given the results and the various analysis done, we can say that the EPPCPPL, evaluates very well the level or amount of professional competence perceived not as a simple measure of a specific task of PLE, but as a composite measure which deals the amount of responses Items on different elements of competition in the various domains required for the performance of the area. At this point we can say that, of all the procedural made iter, EPPCPPL is a measuring instrument internal consistency and stability temporary, being validated for all the Grandes Ecoles Nursing Islands and mainland Portugal (Madiera and the Azores).

Summary: Several authors suggest that the age of attachment functions are gradually shifting from parents to peers (Hazan & Shaver, 1994; Weiss 1991) If in childhood attachment figures tend to be adults, especially parents, in the adulthood, the attachment is transferred to the same, and is more often a loving companion who fill the needs of attachment of the people. This research aims to explore whether the emotional state of adolescents and youth, sometimes sequestered in solitude, it is related to the attachment styles of young people. The work was carried forward with a methodology descriptiva-correlacional and cross. The sample was made up of 422 subjects with an average age of 17 years, 62.3% female and 37.7 male. We applied the following instruments: "Questionnaire vcaracterizacao Socio-Demográfica; Questionario of Relações Families (Matos & Coast 1998); Questionario of Relações Amorosas (Matos Coast 1997) Questionario of Realcoes of Amizade. And" The Louvain Loneliness Scale for Children and Adolescebts ( Leka 1996). We investigated several variables, such as "Confidence", "Unit" and "avoidance". In the course of our study was verified as boys and girls experienced different levels of loneliness in each subscale measure. Besides interactions were analyzed with other variables such as seeking solitude and / or escape from loneliness through the link with friends, the relationship between success and / or failure at school and secure attachment, linking the relationship between adolescents and parents separate structure the personality and their relationship linkage with loving partner, and so on.
