- Adaptação da escala S-SQR à população portuguesa da relaçâo supervisâo psicoterapeutasPublication . Almeida, João Serra de; Pires, António Pazo; Oliveira, Miguel; 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

- Adaptation of the eco-anxiety scale to adult Portuguese native speakers: a validity and reliability studyPublication . Ferrajão, Paulo; Torres, Nuno; Martins, Amadeu QuelhasEco-anxiety is a multidimensional construct that includes emotional, behavioral and cognitive manifestations related to potential environmental calamities. There is a need to adapt and validate measures that evaluate eco-anxiety into Portuguese using a multi-trait approach. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale (HEAS) in adult Portuguese speakers (18–83 years old). Data were collected on the Portuguese adaptation of the HEAS, environmental identity and psychological symptoms, and sociodemographic data. The construct validity of the HEAS was subsequently examined through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The factorial structure of the original scale was the best explanation of the sample data. The scale showed good internal consistency and presented measurement invariance for both sex and age groups. The global score of the HEAS and the dimensions of emotional and behavioral symptoms were moderately associated with clinical symptoms. Females and younger participants presented higher levels of eco-anxiety apart from rumination symptoms. The results suggest the suitability of the HEAS as a valid measure to evaluate the different signs of eco-anxiety among adult Portuguese native speakers.
- Além do prompt: Repensar a biblioteca como laboratório de pedagogia digital e literacia críticaPublication . Lopes, CarlosEsta comunicação apresenta uma redefinição crucial do papel das bibliotecas no ensino superior, transcendendo o estatuto de mero repositório de informação para se afirmarem como centros de competências, mediação e ética digital perante a ascensão da Inteligência Artificial (IA). A IA, ao invés de substituir, otimiza tarefas e realça o valor humano do bibliotecário. Nesta nova era da IA, a biblioteca assume o papel mais crítico e emergente de promoção da Literacia em IA e Ética Digital. Deve ser o ponto focal neutro para capacitar a comunidade sobre vieses algorítmicos e o uso ético e responsável da IA na investigação, abordando temas como plágio, integridade académica e a transparência. A IA é pode ser utilizada para a otimização de serviços, automatizando processos internos e libertando os profissionais para o apoio direto à pesquisa e ao ensino. Adicionalmente, a biblioteca torna-se central no apoio à investigação, colaborando na curadoria e disponibilização de grandes volumes de dados institucionais para projetos de IA, garantindo que os resultados sejam FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Para cumprir esta missão, a biblioteca do século XXI deve ser um modelo híbrido integrado. O espaço físico (analógico) deve ser flexível e orientado para a ação, com Makerspaces e Learning Labs que promovam a produção e experimentação de conteúdos, e espaços de colaboração equipados com tecnologia. O espaço digital (virtual) é crucial para a acessibilidade e deve promover a Literacia Digital e Mediática através de formação sistemática, capacitando os utilizadores a lidar criticamente com a (des)informação e a selecionar informação válida. Finalmente, a biblioteca reforça o seu papel de curadoria digital ao atuar como curador de conteúdo, aplicando critérios rigorosos de autoridade e precisão para combater a sobrecarga informativa, e apoiando a avaliação académica ao ensinar a avaliar criticamente as fontes online.
- Applying an adapted theory of planned behavior to visiting art exhibitionsPublication . Duarte, António M.; Konstantinidi, Niki P.; Rocha, Teresa A.The objective was to test the applicability of an adapted form of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to the behavior of visiting art exhibitions. A sample responded to a questionnaire on intention and behavior to visit art exhibitions, and on attitudes, subjective social norms, perceived behavioral control and motives related to such behavior. After an exploratory principal components analysis and a reliability analysis, a path analysis was used to test the previewed model. Responses to an additional open question on motives were subjected to thematic analysis. Results partially confirmed the application of TPB to visiting art exhibitions, with subjective social norms, perceived behavioral control and motives with an indirect significant effect on behavior mediated by intention. Subjective social norm had also a significant effect on behavior, while a gap was found between the latter and intention. Furthermore, a variety of motives for visiting art exhibitions were identified. Results help to understand and suggest ways to reduce the mentioned gap and increase the behavior of visiting art exhibitions, considering its potential for personal development and quality of life
- Barriers to help-seeking for deliberate self-harm: Construction and validation of a questionnaire for Portuguese adolescents and young adultsPublication . Fuschini, Beatriz; Duarte, Eva; Gomes, Hugo S.; Gouveia-Pereira, MariaObjective Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a prevalent and significant public health concern. However, help-seeking remains notably low, and there is no previously published work providing a validated measurement to address the barriers to help-seeking for DSH. This study developed and validated the Questionnaire of Barriers to Help-seeking for Deliberate Self-harm (QBH-DSH), an instrument designed to measure perceived barriers to help-seeking among adolescents and young adults with a lifetime history of DSH. Methods The QBH-DSH was developed by adapting items from the Barriers to Help-seeking Scale (BHSS, Mansfield et al., 2005) and incorporating insights from interviews with a clinical sample of adolescents with a history of these behaviors and from Portuguese research on this topic. Results An initial 29-item version of the questionnaire was reduced to a 20-item scale with a four-factor structure through an exploratory and a confirmatory factor analysis. Conclusions The scale demonstrated good model fit and reliability, providing a foundation for targeted prevention and intervention strategies focused on promoting help-seeking.
- Bereavement support guidelines for caregivers in palliative care: A scoping reviewPublication . Coelho, Alexandra; Albuquerque, Sara; Neto, David DiasPalliative care teams’ support practices for bereavement vary substantially. Clinical guidelines are needed to promote concerted, evidence-based intervention. The goal of the present study is to identify and synthesize the principles and clinical guidelines that ensure best practices in bereavement support for family caregivers accompanied in palliative care. A scoping review was conducted based on a systematic search of articles in academic databases (EBSCO, PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Scopus) and Google (2010–2024). The review included articles focused on the principles, guidelines, and clinical recommendations for bereavement support for adult family caregivers in palliative care. Quality appraisal of guidelines was conducted using the AGREE II instrument. Of the 1,489 references identified, 20 documents were included, mostly governmental or institutional norms and clinical guidelines from gray literature. Quality appraisal revealed gaps in evidence selection, resource implications, updates and monitoring criteria. Eight fundamental principles were identified, from which several clinical guidelines were derived, organized according to the moments of assessment and intervention throughout the bereavement process, including pre and post-death period: (1) organizing support for the family caregiver; (2) assessing needs and establishing a care plan; (3) ensuring information and support for the family caregiver; (4) preparing for death; (5) support at the time of death; and (6) bereavement support post-death. In addition to universal support and information measures, regular assessment procedures should be adopted for timely referrals based on individual needs.These guidelines cover the temporal variation of care and the multidimensional and multiple-actor nature of palliative care. Implementing these guidelines and evaluating their impact will allow for the standardization of best practices and improve the quality of bereavement support in palliative care.
- Bridging genetic insights with neuroimaging in Autism Spectrum Disorder — A systematic reviewPublication . Vilela, Joana; Rasga, Célia; Santos, João Xavier; Martiniano, Hugo; Marques, Ana Rita; Oliveira, Guiomar; Vicente, Astrid Moura; Maria Rasga, CéliaAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an early onset neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and repetitive patterns of behavior. Family studies show that ASD is highly heritable, and hundreds of genes have previously been implicated in the disorder; however, the etiology is still not fully clear. Brain imaging and electroencephalography (EEG) are key techniques that study alterations in brain structure and function. Combined with genetic analysis, these techniques have the potential to help in the clarification of the neurobiological mechanisms contributing to ASD and help in defining novel therapeutic targets. To further understand what is known today regarding the impact of genetic variants in the brain alterations observed in individuals with ASD, a systematic review was carried out using Pubmed and EBSCO databases and following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This review shows that specific genetic variants and altered patterns of gene expression in individuals with ASD may have an effect on brain circuits associated with face processing and social cognition, and contribute to excitation–inhibition imbalances and to anomalies in brain volumes.
- Bridging the gap: Environmental health literacy as key to adolescent well-being and sustainable behaviorsPublication . Matos, Margarida Gaspar de; Branquinho, Cátia; Domingos, Leonor; Guedes, Fábio Botelho; Cerqueira, Ana; Gaspar, TaniaAdolescents who possess environmental health literacy are more equipped to handle the effects of the environment on their health. This study uses data from Portugal’s 2022 HBSC survey to investigate the environmental health literacy (EHL) of teenagers. The Environmental Health Literacy Scale (EHLS) was verified by confirmatory component analysis. Within the framework of an ecosystem, this study investigates factors related to health and well-being. There are 7355 adolescents in the sample. EHLS_Social Norms and participation in volunteering activities were found to be significant predictors of EHL_Knowledge, which explained 25.2% of the variance in the final model. EHLS_Social Norms and EHLS_Knowledge accounted for 42.9% of the variance in EHL_Behaviors, while school grade was adversely connected with pro-environmental behavior. While actions and knowledge were major positive predictors, gender and school grades showed negative relationships, and EHL_Social Norms accounted for 46% of the variance. This study establishes a valid measure of environmental health literacy in adolescents, informing science education strategies and public health interventions.
- Bullying, mental health, and the moderating role of supportive adults: A cross-national analysis of adolescents in 45 countriesPublication . Kim, Samuel Seunghan; Craig, Wendy Marion; King, Nathan; Bilz, Ludwig; Cosma, Alina; Michal, Cosma; Qirjako, Gentiana; Matos, Margarida Gaspar De; Augustine, Lilly; Šmigelskas, Kastytis; Pickett, William; Gaspar de Matos, MargaridaObjectives: Relationships with supportive adults during adolescence may be a protective factor that lowers the risks associated with bullying. The current study aimed to examine the moderating role of supportive adults in the associations between bullying involvement (in-person and cyber) and mental health problems (psychological symptoms and low life satisfaction). Methods: Data from 45 countries and regions taking part in the 2017/18 Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children study (N = 230,757) were used. Multivariable Poisson regression models were used to estimate relative risks of bullying on mental health. Effect estimates were compared across the number of supportive adults to examine a possible cumulative protective effect of relationships with supportive adults. Results: Bullying involvement was consistently associated with poor mental health across the 45 countries. Risk of mental health problems associated with bullying involvement was greatest among students reporting relationships with multiple supportive adults. This was true for all indicators of bullying involvement.Conclusion: Bullying remains a prevalent and harmful experience for youth worldwide. Merely having supportive adults is not sufficient in protecting youth from experiencing the mental health risks associated with bullying.
