Abstract(s)
Os hábitos de consumo de substâncias psicoativas em indivíduos que lutam contra a
dependência, representam desafios significativos para a saúde pública e para o bem-estar
individual. Compreender o papel dos fatores intrapessoais que influenciam a frequência e
padrões do consumo é crucial para o desenvolvimento de políticas de saúde e intervenções
eficazes, como se verifica no caso das Salas de Consumo Assistido (SCA). Este estudo
exploratório teve como objetivo investigar a existência de uma possível associação entre a
autoeficácia e a motivação para a mudança de hábitos de consumo de substâncias psicoativas
em indivíduos que frequentam a SCA de Lisboa. A investigação procurou explorar como esses
fatores podem influenciar a frequência de utilização das SCA, com o objetivo de contribuir para
melhorar as estratégias de apoio e acompanhamento em contextos de consumo assistido. A
investigação contou com uma amostra de 56 utentes das SCA do Serviço de Apoio Integrado,
na Associação Ares do Pinhal. Os dados foram recolhidos de forma voluntária na sala de espera
e obtidos através de instrumentos de autorrelato -Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala
SOCRATES-8D e a Escala de Autoeficácia Geral-. Os resultados não apresentaram associações
estatisticamente significativas entre as variáveis em estudo, destacando-se a ausência de uma
associação significativa entre a ambivalência e a frequência do uso das SCA. Deste modo, a
ausência de associações significativas entre as variáveis sugere que a relação entre autoeficácia,
motivação para a mudança e frequência de utilização das SCA pode ser mais complexa do que
inicialmente proposto, indicando a necessidade de explorar outros fatores ou contextos que
possam influenciar esses comportamentos
The consumption habits of psychoactive substances in individuals struggling with addiction represent significant challenges for public health and individual well-being. Understanding the role of intrapersonal factors that influence the frequency and patterns of consumption is crucial for the development of effective health policies and interventions, as is the case with Assisted Consumption Rooms (ACS). This exploratory study aimed to investigate the existence of a possible association between self-efficacy and motivation to change psychoactive substance consumption habits in individuals attending the Lisbon ACS. The research sought to explore how these factors can influence the frequency of ACS use, with the aim of contributing to improving support and follow-up strategies in assisted consumption contexts. The research included a sample of 56 ACS users from the Integrated Support Service at the Ares do Pinhal Association. Data was collected voluntarily in the waiting room and obtained through selfreport instruments - Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the SOCRATES-8D Scale and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. The results showed no statistically significant associations between the variables under study, with the absence of a significant association between ambivalence and the frequency of ACS use standing out. Thus, the lack of significant associations between the variables suggests that the relationship between self-efficacy, motivation to change and frequency of use of the ACS may be more complex than initially proposed, indicating the need to explore other factors or contexts that may influence these behaviors.
