Problema: Existem muito poucos questionários que meçam a prontidão que um indivíduo tem para entrar num grupo terapêutico. Torna-se importante ter escalas que meçam este conceito, de forma a retirar o máximo proveito das terapias de grupo, tanto ao nível dos resultados, como ao nível do bem-estar do próprio grupo durante estas terapias. Objetivo: É assim proposto fazer a adaptação e validação da escala de Prontidão para integração num Grupo da “OQ Measures” (QPG), através de uma investigação com uma amostra de participantes voluntários. Método: Participaram no estudo 196 estudantes de diferentes faculdades, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 66 anos (M = 21.71 anos; DP = 5.134 anos). Resultados: Os resultados da análise da fiabilidade do QPG, constituído por 19 itens, revelaram valores de consistência interna de 0.787 na sua totalidade, e de 0.621, 0.858 e 0.544 para as subescalas das Expectativas, Participação e Atitudes Negativas, respetivamente. De uma forma geral os valores dos indicadores globais de ajustamento do modelo para o QPG resultantes da análise fatorial confirmatória mostraram-se satisfatórios: χ2(149) = 473,926, B-S p=0.000; χ2/df = 3.18; PCFI = .63; PGFI = .61; CFI=.72; GFI=.78; TLI=.68; RMSEA=.106; 90% CI [.095 – .117]). Observou-se que de forma geral, o QPG demonstrou propriedades psicométricas adequadas, podendo ser considerada generalizável para a amostra não clínica utilizada, havendo à disposição um bom instrumento para avaliar a prontidão dos indivíduos para integração num grupo.
Problem: There is a lack of psychometric measures that assess the readiness of an individual to enter a therapeutic group. It is, for this reason, important to have questionnaires that measure this concept, so the therapy groups are more beneficial, increasing, therefore, the positive results and the welfare for each person of the therapy group. Purpose: Hence, the purpose of this investigation is to validate the Group Readiness Questionnaire from the “OQ measures” (GRQ), by doing the translation to Portuguese and its validation, so it can start to be used for the Portuguese population. Method: In this study, the participants were 196 students, studying in different universities. Their ages range between 18 and 66 years (M = 21.71 years; DP = 5.134 years). Results: The results of the reliability analysis of the GRQ, found a Cronbach’s coefficient, of 0.787 for the total scale, and 0.61, 0.858 and 0.544, for the Expectancy, Participation and Demeanor subscales, respectively. The results obtained with the confirmatory factor analysis where satisfactory: χ2(149) = 473,926, B-S p=0.000; χ2/df = 3.18; PCFI = .63; PGFI = .61; CFI=.72; GFI=.78; TLI=.68; RMSEA=.106; 90% CI [.095 – .117]). It was observed that in general the GRQ demonstrated adequate psychometric properties and can be considered generalized to the non-clinical sample that was used, with a good instrument available to assess the readiness of the individuals to integrate a group.
