Abstract(s)
Os terapeutas variam nos resultados que conseguem providenciar aos seus clientes, sendo que as competĂȘncias interpessoais facilitadoras parecem explicar parte dessa variabilidade. O FIS-C Ă© um instrumento recente que avalia essas competĂȘncias sob a perspetiva do cliente e, como tal, sĂŁo necessĂĄrias mais evidĂȘncias acerca da escala. Objetivo: O objetivo geral deste estudo foi analisar o FIS-C em momentos distintos e verificar a sua associação com diferentes variĂĄveis importantes em psicoterapia. Pretendeu-se tambĂ©m testar a estrutura fatorial do FIS-C. MĂ©todo: A amostra deste estudo foi composta por 31 clientes de trĂȘs clĂnicas portuguesas. O FIS-C, a WAI e o OQ-45.2 foram administrados em trĂȘs momentos diferentes da psicoterapia, tendo decorrido pelo menos cinco semanas entre cada aplicação. Resultados: Os resultados indicam que o FIS-C estĂĄ associado com a WAI em todos os momentos, contudo, nĂŁo foi encontrada qualquer associação com o OQ-45.2. Ao longo do tempo, o FIS-C parece evoluir positivamente, tendo sido encontradas alteraçÔes estatisticamente significativas entre o primeiro e o terceiro momento. ConclusĂ”es: A perceção dos clientes acerca das competĂȘncias interpessoais facilitadoras parece desempenhar um papel importante. Contudo, considerando evidĂȘncias anteriores, alguns resultados deste estudo sĂŁo inconclusivos, pelo que sĂŁo necessĂĄrios mais estudos.
Therapists vary in the results they provide to clients, and the facilitative interpersonal skills explain part of that variability. The FIS-C is a recent measure that evaluates these skills under the perspective of the client and, as such, more evidence is necessary. Objective: The overall objective of this study was to analyze the FIS-C in different moments and to verify its association with different important variables in psychotherapy. The factorial structure of the FIS-C was also tested. Method: The sample on this study was composed of 31 clients from three different portuguese clinics. The FIS-C, the WAI, and the OQ-45.2 were administered at three different moments of psychotherapy, having at least five sessions between each application. Results:The results indicate that the FIS-C is associated with the WAI in all moments, however, no association was found with the OQ-45.2. Over time the FIS-C seems to develop positively, with significant changes being found between the 1st and the 3rd moment. Conclusions: Clients perception about facilitative interpersonal skills seems to play an important role. Nonetheless, considering previous evidences, some results of this study are inconclusive, so additional studies are necessary.
