- The Portuguese Third Version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire: Preliminary Validation Studies of the Middle Version among Municipal and Healthcare WorkersPublication . Cotrim, Teresa P.; Bem-Haja, Pedro; Pereira, Anabela; Fernandes, Cláudia; Azevedo, Rui; Antunes, Samuel; Pinto, Joaquim S.; Kanazawa, Flávio; Souto, Isabel; Brito, Elisabeth; Silva, Carlos FernandesA third version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III) was developed internationally aiming to respond to new trends in working conditions, theoretical concepts, and international experience. This article aims to present the preliminary validation studies for the Portuguese middle version of COPSOQ III. This is an exploratory cross-sectional study viewing the cross-cultural adaption of COPSOQ III to Portugal, ensuring the contents and face validity and performing field-testing in order to reduce the number of items and to obtain insight into the data structure, through classic test theory and item response theory approaches. The qualitative study encompassed 29 participants and the quantitative one 659 participants from municipalities and healthcare settings. Content analysis suggested that minor re-wording could improve the face validity of items, while a reduced version, with 85 items, shows psychometric stability, achieving good internal consistency in all subscales. The COPSOQ III Portuguese middle version proved to be a valid preliminary version for future validation studies with various populations, able to be used in correlational studies with other dimensions.

- The portuguese 35-item survey of pain attitudes applied to portuguese women with endometriosisPublication . Valente, Maria Alexandra Ferreira; Garcia, Inês Queiroz; Rosa, Ana Marques; Pereira, Anabela; Ribeiro, José Luis Pais; Jensen, Mark P.Background and aims endometriosis is a gynecologic recurring persistent condition affecting from 8% to 15% of premenopausal women worldwide. About 80% of women with endometriosis have at least one form of chronic pain - a multidimensional experience influenced by a number of psychosocial factors, including pain-related beliefs. The Survey of Pain Attitudes is the most commonly used measure of pain-related beliefs. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of a brief version of the SOPA (the SOPA-35) in a sample of Portuguese women with Endometriosis. Methods A sample of 199 Portuguese women with Endometriosis provided demographic and pain history information, and completed a Portuguese version of the SOPA-35 and measures of pain intensity, disability, and psychological function. Analyses were performed to evaluate the factor structure of the Portuguese SOPA-35 items as well as the internal consistency, composite reliability, convergent validity, and concurrent validity of the scale scores. Results Confirmatory factor analysis supported a six-factor solution for a 19-item version of the Portuguese version of the Survey of Pain Attitudes (SOPA-19-P). The six scales evidenced marginal to good reliability (Cronbach's alphas: between 0.60 and 0.84; composite reliability: between 0.61 and 0.84). Four scales evidenced acceptable to good convergent validity (AVE: between 0.51 and 0.63). The findings also supported the concurrent validity of the SOPA-19-P. Conclusions The results support the use of the Portuguese SOPA-19-P for research and clinical purposes with Portuguese women in chronic pain due to endometriosis. Future research is warranted to further develop a European Portuguese version of SOPA. Implications The findings provide psychometric information about the SOPA-19-P. The results are helpful to researchers wishing to study the role of pain-related beliefs and their association with adjustment and treatment outcomes in women with chronic pain due to endometriosis.
- O autocuidado do cuidador familiar: intervenção psicoeducativa para o desenvolvimento de competências pessoais/sociaisPublication . Castro, Lisneti; Neri de Souza, Dayse; Pereira, AnabelaCapacitar cuidadores familiares para a tarefa de cuidar, exige que no processo de ensino e aprendizagem sejam comtemplados aspetos relacionados com o desenvolvimento da vida adulta. Objetivo: apresentar na íntegra uma proposta de intervenção psicoeducativa fundamentada no desenvolvimento de competências pessoais/sociais nos cuidadores familiares. Método: estudo de cariz qualitativo e paradigma interpretativo. Participaram 10 cuidadores de ambos os sexos. Os utentes foram contactados pela equipa de enfermagem das Unidades de saúde de Aveiro e Ovar em Portugal. Todas as sessões de intervenção foram conduzidas por meio de dinâmica de grupo, e as competências abordadas foram: autoconhecimento, empatia, autoestima, assertividade, resiliência e suporte social. Os dados foram recolhidos no período de janeiro a julho/2016. A análise de conteúdo foi realizada com o apoio do Software webQDA. Resultados: pode-se verificar que os cuidadores possuíam as competências, porém não conseguiam nomeá-las nem identificá-las no seu repertório comportamental. Após a intervenção estes, denotaram consciencialização sobre a necessidade de terem maior atenção com o seu autocuidado. Conclusão: Este estudo trouxe ao de cima um novo olhar para o autocuidado dos cuidadores familiares.

- The portuguese version of the Emotion Regulation of Others and Self (EROS) in a clinical sample: Psychometric properties and measurement invariance across sexPublication . Brandão, Tânia; Teixeira, R.J.; Pereira, Anabela Maria SousaThe Emotion Regulation of Others and Self Scale (EROS) is commonly used to measure individual differences in the use of strategies to regulate one’s own and other people’s emotions. This study aimed to examine its psychometric properties and measurement invariance across sex in a Portuguese clinical sample. For this purpose, we tested the factorial structure of the EROS in a sample of 390 adults (259 women; Mage=34.33; SD=9.99) undergoing active psychotherapy in a private clinic. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the four-factor solution proposed by the original authors (intrinsic affect-improving, intrinsic affect-worsening, extrinsic affect-improving and extrinsic affect-worsening) fitted well to our data. Invariance across sex was determined by using multi-group analyses. Additionally, reliability analysis indicated good coefficients for all the dimensions. The pattern of associations of the EROS subscales with dispositional mindfulness, ruminative thinking, psychological inflexibility, emotional intelligence, and psychopathological symptoms were examined. As expected, small to moderate correlations were found evidencing the convergent construct validity of the EROS. Findings suggest that the EROS is a psychometrically sound approach for assessing individual differences in emotion regulation in clinical samples.
