- Toxicodependência e maternidade: uma revisão de literaturaPublication . Silva, Sofia A.; Pires, António A. Pazo; Gouveia, Maria JoaoPretende fazer-se uma revisão da literatura acerca da parentalidade de mães toxicodependentes, abordando as 1) consequências da toxicodependência na maternidade e 2) as condições ambientais e contextuais dos pais toxicodependentes, e suas famílias de origem. A literatura atual aponta para um comportamento parental perturbado das mães toxicodependentes, embora saliente a importância da gravidez e maternidade como fator predisponente ao início de um tratamento e recuperação. São referidos efeitos disruptivos na saúde, nascimento e desenvolvimento pós-natal das crianças, na qualidade do vínculo e da interação mãe-filho, bem como repercussões que se refletem na inadequação de cuidados maternais e risco aumentado de negligência e abuso. A investigação focaliza a atenção em algumas áreas específicas do comportamento parental, verificando-se lacunas e resultados nem sempre consistentes, falta de estudos contemplando a relação direta entre abuso de substâncias e disfunções familiares e da parentalidade, bem como a experiência e dificuldades inerentes à parentalidade nesta situação de risco. É feita uma análise da investigação atual e fornecidas algumas diretrizes para futuras investigações.
- Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Version of The PERMA-ProfilerPublication . Alves, Marcela Almeida; Palmer, Stephen; Gouveia, Maria JoaoThis study evaluates the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of The PERMA Profiler in a sample of 1258 Portuguese adults (72.3% females) with a mean age of 36.74 years (SD = 11.313). The PERMA Profiler is a questionnaire that assesses the five dimensions of psychological flourishing, according to Seligman’s well-being theory. According to this theory, the well-being pillars known by the acronym PERMA are positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test Seligman’s model. Results support a reasonable model fit for the five-factor model, but based on the results of bootstrap sample analysis the model was not confirmed. There is also a lack of discriminant validity between PERMA constructs and a lack of validity and reliability of engagement factor. Internal consistency was satisfactory for all five sub-scales, except for engagement. Concurrent validity was demonstrated through the strong and very strong correlations between the PERMA factors and Flourishing Scale. A Portuguese version of The PERMA Profiler is a new tool to assist researchers to refine the measurement and understanding of well-being in Portuguese cultures. Future recommendations and limitations are highlighted.
- Health risk behaviors among university students: A latent class cnalysis and its association with mental healthPublication . Pais Brandão, Tânia Raquel; Gouveia, Maria Joao; Dias Neto, David Manuel; Queirós, Francisco; Loureiro, Filipe; Rocha, Teresa Almeida; Almeida Rocha, Teresa; Martins, Ana Cristina; Belo, Sara; Rodrigues, Soraia; Vargas-Moniz, MariaHealth behaviors (HB) are critical for university students, as they are closely associated with academic and overall well-being. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore health behaviors in a sample of university students, identify patterns of HB, and examine the association between these patterns and mental health outcomes. The sample consisted of 1085 university students enrolled at a private higher-education institution. Participants were predominantly female (83.4%), with a mean age of 22.74 years (= 7.03). Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was employed to identify distinct classes of HB. Three classes were identified: Class 1, labelled as the Unhealthy habits - high-stress profile (15.7%); Class 2, labelled as the Healthy/Low-risk group (68%); and Class 3, labelled as the Unhealthy habits - substance-use profile (16.3%). Significant differences in mental health outcomes were observed, with the Unhealthy habits - high stress profile displaying significantly worse mental health compared to the Healthy/Unhealthy habits - substance use profile. These findings reinforce the idea that HB do not operate in isolation but are interdependent components of a broader lifestyle pattern. The findings may inform the development of targeted interventions to promote healthier lifestyle patterns and support mental health among university students, particularly for the Unhealthy habits - high stress profile in the student population.
