- Citizen science for health in the co-creation of evidence summaries for citizensPublication . Silva, Sílvia Manuela Dias Tavares da; Santana, Elaine dos Santos; Bernardo, Joana Vanessa Ribeiro; Silva, Aline Conceição; Lopes, Carlos; Almeida, Cristina Vaz de; Apóstolo, João Luís Alves; Escola Superior de Enfermagem de CoimbraBackground: Citizen science (CS) and health literacy (HL) promote citizen involvement in scientific research and access to health information. CS enables citizen involvement in co-creating knowledge, while HL enhances citizens’ ability to make informed decisions.Objective: To systematize older citizen involvement in the co-creation of evidence summaries for citizens (ESC), creating a replicable process and making health information more accessible.Methodology: Methodological, qualitative study based on the assumptions of Polit and Beck and conducted with older people residing in the community. The data were analyzed according to Bardin’s content analysis methodology.Results: The participants were actively involved. They reflected on each step and contributed to en-hancing the understanding of the information. This collaborative process results in a guide for ESC co-creation and co-validation.Conclusion: The methodology proved effective in involving citizens in the ESC co-creation, promot-ing health literacy and increasing the social relevance of scientific research. The guide can be replicated and used by other professionals and researchers.
- Does deliberate practice surpass didactic training in learning empathy skills? A randomized controlled studyPublication . Larsson, Johannes; Werthén, David; Carlsson, Jan; Salim, Osame; Davidsson, Edvin; Vaz, Alexandre; Sousa, Daniel; Norberg, JoakimA large body of research identifies therapist expressed empathy as one of the most important predictors of psychotherapy outcome. Deliberate practice (DP) is an effective method to improve skills in many fields. We asked if DP also can be used to enhance the skill of expressing empathy. Objective: The aim was to compare the efficacy of DP to didactical learning methods (DLM) in enhancing the skill of empathic expression in students. Method: A repeated measures randomized controlled group design was used. Novice students (N ¼ 36) from psychologist-, medicine-, social work-, and nursing programs received two training sessions of either DP (n ¼ 21) or DLM (n ¼ 15). Participants’ skills in empathic expression were assessed with the Measure of Expressed Empathy (MEE) on three occasions: before the first, between, and after the last training session. Results: Participants in the DP-group showed improved empathic expression, whereas participants in the DLM-group did not. Conclusions: These findings suggest that DP is an effective training method for therapeutic skills such as empathic expression and holds implications for the future development of educational practices to incorporate active skill training methods.
- Effectiveness of empower-grief for relatives of palliative care patients: Protocol for an exploratory randomized controlled trial.Publication . Neto, David Dias; Coelho, Alexandra; Albuquerque, Sara; Silva, Ana Nunes da; PsychOpenBackground: Grief reactions of relatives of palliative care patients are seldom addressed. Most interventions focus on Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) and not on its prevention. This is particularly relevant in palliative care, in which death is the result of a difficult period of a terminal illness, making caregivers particularly vulnerable to psychological distress. The purpose of the present exploratory trial is to test the efficacy of a selective intervention (Empower-Grief) for the initial problematic grief reactions and to study potential predictors of adherence and efficacy. Method: This is an exploratory Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) studying Empower-Grief compared with Treatment as Usual (TAU). Participants will be relatives or caregivers of palliative and oncological patients with initial indicators of risk of developing PGD and will be randomly allocated to Empower-Grief and TAU. Participants will be assessed prior, at the end and six months after the intervention. The primary outcome considered will be symptoms of PGD. The assessment includes measures of anxiety and depression, coping, attachment, psychological flexibility, posttraumatic growth, social support and therapeutic alliance. Results: The trial is ongoing. Forty-four participants will be invited to participate. Conclusion: This study addresses the need for the development of empirically grounded and feasible interventions aimed at dealing with initial problematic reactions in grief, exploring potential predictors and possible venues for personalizing intervention and understanding the mechanism through which these interventions operate.

- Introdução ao Número Especial: Mudança OrganizacionalPublication . Gomes, Jorge F. S.O tema deste número de COeG é a Mudança Organizacional. Mas este número encerra também mudança de forma, com uma nova secção destinada a divulgar artigos de opinião. Ao nível dos conteúdos, os artigos que compõem este número especial abordam um assunto actual e importante: a mudança nas e das organizações. Tornou-se já um lugar comum afirmar que a mudança é a única constante da vida nas e das instituições e da sociedade, pelo que não causa estranheza o interesse que este tema tem vindo a suscitar por parte de académicos e gestores. As dinâmicas individuais e organizacionais para responder às, ou mesmo despoletar as, mudanças no seu meio envolvente são o principal objecto de análise neste número especial da revista Comportamento Organizacional e Gestão.
- Nota de abertura: Conectando as conexões luso-brasileirasPublication . Faria, Alexandre de Almeida; Correia, Manuela Faia; Guedes, Ana Lucia; Silva, Clovis L.Machado da; Cardoso, Carlos CabralOs últimos quinhentos anos de história são a maior evidência de existência de conexões lusobrasileiras no âmbito das organizações e da gestão, mais obviamente no Brasil e em Portugal. Assim como conexões costumam ser definidas em sociologia (e.g., Cook & Emerson, 1978), as conexões luso-brasileiras são tão frágeis quanto poderosas. Elas compõem um tecido histórico-geográfico importante; porém, não são necessariamente visíveis, positivas, ou facilmente codificáveis e decifráveis. Muitas dessas conexões são conhecidas, muitas outras estão por serem descobertas. Algumas nos aproximam, portugueses e brasileiros, outras afastam-nos.
