Virtual reality can be used as a tool for enhancing psychological interventions in organizations, increasing their efficacy and efficiency, thus making psychology more compelling and competitive. Stress management is a fundamental skill for managers, forced to deal on a daily basis with complex, fast and demanding environments and tasks. Managers are not only entitled to increase company revenues; their psychological well-being and ability to cope with stress reflects directly on workers’ psychological health. Organizational psychology developed many techniques in order to help managers deal with stress, especially through specific training activities. The aim of the present study is to explore the effects of a specific training on stress management, conducted on managers with the aid of a virtual reality device. A sample of managers was trained in imagining their best possible self, and in using this thought to increase positive future expectancies. This training was conducted in three consequent virtual reality environments. The first environment, a relaxing open space of choice (e.g. a lake side), was used in the opening part of the training, in order to help managers find a relaxed state of mind for thinking about their possible self. The second environment, a happy place (a real place relevant in the manager’s life), was used in order to help managers imagine their stress-management skills and understand how to use them in difficult situations. The third environment, a place not yet visited but desired, was used in the closing part of the training for linking the training to a desirable future. Interviews and questionnaires on the managers’ environment and stressors in their job, estimated stress-management skills, and self-efficacy were carried out before and after the training. A follow up interview on the same topics was conducted three weeks after the training. Satisfaction for the training was also investigated. The data obtained were examined through both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The managers reported a high level of satisfaction for the training, specifically related with the use of virtual environments. The training was perceived as effective in increasing stress-management skills, both just after its completion and after three weeks. The managers felt a higher degree of self-efficacy regarding their ability to cope with stress in complex situations. Virtual reality is an effective tool not just for improving psychological intervention, but also for making it more appealing. Therefore, it is a technology that should be further studied and introduced in professional practice.

The objective of the present work is to present a proposal of a Screening Protocol for Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder for babies. The motivation for the development of this work lies in the clinical practice of rehabilitation and care for babies at the Sarah Hospital of Rehabilitation of São Luís. The change in the profile of care to this population implied the need to systematize the skills of the team for specialized assessment of development. The method was outlined based on a review of specific literature in the field, in particular Gadia's studies, data from the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics, in accordance with international evaluation parameters. Observation was used as a methodological procedure. As a result, an evaluation systematics has been established that points out objective criteria for early insertion in a program of stimulation and / or referral to specialized services, enabling interventions that promote changes in patterns of behavior and development. The tool includes a qualitative assessment of social development and language milestones in infants under 18 months of age; application of Screening for early screening between 18 to 24 months of age; performing complementary screening tests; and standardized assessment of development through specific scale application.
本研究的目的是提出一项婴儿自闭症谱系障碍症状筛查方案的建议。开展这项工作的动机在于萨拉康复医院 o Luís对婴儿的康复和护理的临床实践。照顾这一人口情况的变化意味着需要使工作队的技能系统化，以便对发展进行专门评估。该方法是根据对该领域特定文献的审查，特别是Gadia的研究，以及巴西儿科学会的数据，根据国际评价参数概述的。观察作为方法学程序。因此，已经建立了一个评价系统，指出了早期纳入刺激计划和/或转介到专门服务的客观标准，使干预能够促进行为和发展模式的变化。该工具包括对18个月以下婴儿的社会发展和语言里程碑进行定性评估;为年龄介乎18至24个月的儿童进行早期筛检;进行补充性筛检;通过具体规模应用对发展进行标准化评估。

In the 1980s, globalization and business competition led to an instability in work organizations which were no longer able to ensure stable and predictable careers. Responsibility of career management was transferred to workers. Consequently, research on the role of individuals in their career management became popular, while work investigating the role of organizations gradually declined. However, some studies have indicated that it remains beneficial for organizations to invest in practices of career management (PCM) for their employees through a supportive approach due to the link with positive outcomes for both employees and organizations. PCM refer to programs, processes, and other forms of assistance provided by organizations to support and enhance their employees’ career success (Ng, Eby, Sorensen and Feldman, 2005) such as career planning, training and skills development programs, promotion, coaching, mentoring, annual appraisal interviews, retirement preparation programs or outplacements. At an individual level, the conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll, 2011) and the job demand resource model (Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner & Schaufeli, 2001) postulate that resources of the professional environment, such as PCM, promote the preservation and development of personal resources and the employees’ psychological health. While some studies have shown a link between PCM and indicators of hedonic well-being such as job satisfaction (e.g., Kooij, Ansen, Dikkers & De Lange, 2010), work examining the links with indicators of eudemonic well-being, such as thriving at work, remains scarce. Moreover, previous studies have paid little attention to the psychological mechanism linking PCM to well-being at work. To fill this gap, our study focused on the synergy of psychological resources (i.e., self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience) defined as a core construct, known as PsyCap (Luthans, Avolio, Avey & Norman, 2007). The sample consisted of 652 French people working in nonprofit, private and public organizations. Structural equation modeling suggested indirect effects of PCM on thriving at work through PsyCap (partial mediation) and this was confirmed with a bootstrapping procedure. Limitations of the study are discussed.

The aim of this present study is to assess the relations between objective trauma exposure characteristics (i.e. the number of days of hospitalization, the number of deaths), subjective trauma appraisal and posttraumatic stress symptoms in victims of road traffic accidents (RTA). We also wanted to identify the moderating role of subjective trauma appraisals in the relations between objective trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms. The study involved a sample consisting of 162 participants that experienced an RTA in the last two years (62.3 % were men). The results showed that the number of days of hospitalization, traumatic fear, and the three types of posttraumatic cognitions were positively correlated with PTSD symptoms. However, only the number of days of hospitalization, traumatic fear, and negative cognitions about the self predicted PTSD symptoms. Further, the results showed that self-blame cognitions moderated the relation between the number of deaths and PTSD symptoms. The results are in line with cognitive models of PTSD and some previous studies sustaining the fact that subjective trauma appraisals are strongly related to PTSD, compared to objective indicators of trauma exposure. The implications of these results for interventions are discussed.
