- Adaptação da escala S-SRQ à população portuguesa da relação e supervisão de psicoterapeutasPublication . Almeida, João Serra de; Pires, António Pazo; Oliveira, Miguel; Basto Pereira, Miguel; Pires, António A. Pazo; Magalhães, Clarisse; Basto Pereira, MiguelA supervisão tem vindo a constituir-se enquanto um dos três pilares da formação do psicoterapeuta. Num sentido geral, a supervisão tem sido caracterizada por diferentes sociedades de psicoterapia como possuindo elevada pertinência científica. O estudo dos processos que envolvem o processo de supervisão tem-se constituído como principal ponte à melhoria da prática do psicoterapeuta, embora haja muito pouca publicação empírica sobre o tema. Como tal, o processo que mais importância adquire, e que menos investigação possui, é a relação entre psicoterapeutas em meio de supervisão. Foi realizada a adaptação da escala S-SRQ à população Portuguesa de 233 psicoterapeutas. Para a adaptação e validação foi utilizada a análise da sensibilidade dos itens, análise factorial confirmatória, fiabilidade e sensibilidade das dimensões encontradas, validade discriminante, validade convergente e método split half. Como softwares foram utilizados o SPSS e o Amus. Através da AFC obteve-se um modelo de três dimensões, de onde se retiraram os itens 6, 12 e 17. O modelo da AFC foi escolhido em detrimento do modelo da AFE por causa da qualidade obtida pelo modelo estatístico
- Examining risk and protective factors for suicidal behaviors: A cross-sectional study among Portuguese Male InmatesPublication . Oliveira, Catarina; Basto Pereira, MiguelBackground/Objectives: Prison inmates face a significantly higher risk of acting on suicidal thoughts than the general population. However, Portuguese studies distinguishing inmates who think about suicide from those who attempt it remain scarce. Given this ideation-to-action distinction, the current cross-sectional study aimed to examine risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and the transition from one outcome to another. Methods: A total of 411 male inmates (M = 37.94 years, SD = 10.91) from 16 Portuguese prisons participated in the study. Data were collected between 2020 and 2024 using four instruments: (1) Sociodemographic Questionnaire; (2) Social and Emotional Competencies Questionnaire (SEC-Q); (3) Predictive Antisocial Spectrum Questionnaire; and (4) Health Risk Behavior Checklist. Results: Among the total sample, 29.1% reported a lifetime history of suicidal ideation, and 19.4% had attempted suicide. Impulsivity/irresponsibility emerged as a key risk factor for suicidal ideation, whereas social and emotional competencies of self-management and motivation were protective factors against suicide attempts. Previous self-harm behavior was the only risk factor for both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Conclusions: Our findings provide important insights into risk and protective factors for suicidal behaviors among male inmates, offering key information for policy and practice efforts aimed at reducing mortality in this high-risk population.
- Exploring the factor structure of criminogenic cognitions in incarcerated males: Psychometric evaluation of the Criminogenic Cognitions Scale (CCS)Publication . Pereira, Teresa; Oliveira, Catarina; Basto Pereira, MiguelDespite the importance of criminogenic thinking in addressing criminal behavior, validated instruments to measure these cognitions in Portuguese forensic settings are scarce. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the Criminogenic Cognitions Scale (CCS) in a sample of 364 Portuguese incarcerated males (Mage = 37.88, SD = 10.88). An exploratory factor analysis was conducted, indicating a 15-item, two-factor structure (KMO = 0.82; Bartlett’s test, χ2 = 1841.2, df = 105, p < 0.001). The CCS dimensions, comprising Short-Term Orientation and Responsibility Evasion and Authority Resistance, demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties, including convergent validity with antisocial traits, moral disengagement, and self-control dimensions, as well as internal consistency (omega coefficient = 0.60–0.77; composite reliability = 74–91; coefficient H = 89–95), and sensitivity of items. The CCS is a valuable tool within prison settings for assessing criminogenic thinking patterns, supporting risk assessment, the development of targeted rehabilitation programs, and monitoring cognitive changes over time to reduce recidivism, thereby promoting inmates’ safer reintegration into society. Overall, our findings suggest the CCS is a promising tool for assessing criminogenic cognitions in the forensic Portuguese population.
