Background and Aim: The current study aimed to translate the Firefighter Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (FFCSE) and explore its dimensionality and psychometric characteristics. Method: This cross-sectional study was authorised by the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority and disseminated by firefighters' stations from different districts. A sample of 155 firefighters completed online the following self-report instruments: Firefighter Coping Self-Efficacy Scale, Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes, World Health Organization Index-5, Perceived Stress Scale and Patients Health Questionnaire-4. An exploratory factor analysis was computed, and reliability and validity studies were conducted. Results: The Portuguese version of the FFCSE items revealed, in general, good psychometric characteristics, except for item 10 ("Having dreams about difficult calls"). The factor structure was one-dimensional. The FFCSE showed good internal consistency, and the associations with the other variables were in the expected direction. No differences were found between men and women in the FFCSE mean scores. There was no statistically significant association between the FFCSE and age, years of education or length of service as firefighters. Conclusions: The FFCSE proved to be a one-dimensional measure of perceived self-efficacy to deal with the demands inherent to the firefighter activity. The results suggest that it is a valid and reliable measure, useful in research, clinical and training contexts for these professionals.

Contexto e Objetivo: O contexto pandémico da Covid-19 desencadeou o surgimento de outras perceções das relações humanas, sociais e económicas. Os efeitos da Covid-19 foram sentidos em várias partes do mundo, sendo a população mais velha uma das mais afetadas por ser mais frágil e vulnerável. O isolamento social dos adultos mais velhos esteve ligado ao sentimento de solidão decorrente do confinamento que diminuiu o contacto social. Dentro dessa estrutura, formulámos a seguinte questão de pesquisa: de que modo o contexto da Covid-19 moldou as perceções pós-pandemia dos adultos mais velhos sobre a sua qualidade de vida? Nesse sentido, os objetivos do presente estudo foram os seguintes: 1) Analisar as perceções dos maiores de 55 anos relativamente ao impacto da situação pandémica e os seus efeitos no período pós-Covid-19; 2) Identificar o impacto da Covid-19 no Pensamento crítico nos maiores de 55 anos; 3) Interpretar como os maiores de 55 anos se projetaram no futuro (pós-pandemia). Método: Construção, validação e aplicação de um questionário via online a 167 indivíduos maiores de 55 anos entre 15/09/2020 a 10/02/2021. Foram utilizadas técnicas de análise de conteúdo e análises estatísticas. Resultados: As respostas, independentemente da idade, sexo e formação académica, valorizaram a saúde, questões financeiras e relações sociais. O Pensamento crítico surgiu na consciência e na reflexão crítica sobre como viver o dia a dia e fazer melhor uso das tecnologias. Conclusão: Este estudo remete-nos para a necessidade de construir defesas psicológicas, culturais e espirituais que entendemos como formas de resiliência. Ou seja, construir uma cultura de responsabilidade e de uma ética de vida, sensível às necessidades de cada um e da comunidade. O Pensamento crítico ajuda a superar as dificuldades e a melhorar a qualidade de vida.

Contexto e Objetivo: A nomofobia (no mobile phone) é definida como uma fobia da era digital que se traduz num medo excessivo de ficar impedido de usar o telemóvel. No contexto da pandemia COVID-19, observou-se a intensificação do uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação. Este estudo pretendeu explorar a existência de diferenças nos níveis de nomofobia experienciados durante a pandemia, comparando-os com os evidenciados antes da pandemia. Adicionalmente, procurou-se analisar a relação entre a nomofobia e variáveis como a frequência do uso dos ecrãs na atividade profissional, o recurso ao gerenciador do telemóvel e em que medida a pandemia tornou o uso do ecrã uma prática recorrente. Hipotetiza-se que, em virtude da maioria das atividades ocorrer no domicílio (teletrabalho, aulas online), se observe uma diminuição global da nomofobia. Métodos: Estudo de desenho transversal. Participaram 288 indivíduos da população geral em situação de pandemia e 500 indivíduos de uma amostra recolhida previamente à pandemia. Todos os participantes preencheram online o European Portuguese Version of the Nomophobia Questionnaire. Resultados: Os níveis de nomofobia observados durante a pandemia foram mais reduzidos comparativamente aos do período pré-pandemia. Não se observaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos níveis de nomofobia em função do sexo, estado civil ou prática recorrente do uso do ecrã. A nomofobia não se mostrou associada à idade, uso dos ecrãs para efeitos profissionais ou recurso ao gerenciador do telemóvel. Conclusões: Em virtude da maioria das atividades ocorrerem em casa (teletrabalho, aulas online), os níveis de nomofobia observados em situação de pandemia foram mais reduzidos. Estes parecem estar relacionados com a diminuição global do medo de não poder comunicar através do telemóvel, perder conectividade, não poder aceder à informação e recear não ter sinal Wi-Fi ou ficar sem bateria.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of narrative therapy on sexual function and couple burnout in women with skin cancer. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test–post-test design with a control group. Among married women with skin cancer in Mashhad (Iran), 30 available individuals were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Narrative therapy was performed in a group of 15 people in nine sessions (experimental group). The Female Sexual Function Index and Couple Burnout Measure were used to collect pre-test and post-test data. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Results: Group narrative therapy significantly improved reported sexual function (F = 40.90; p = .001) and decreased couple burnout (F = 59.03; p = .001) in women with skin cancer. Conclusions: Narrative therapy seems to effectively improve sexual function and couple burnout in women with skin cancer.

Background and Aim: The sample included 184 adolescent athletes (150 boys and 34 girls), aged between 12 and 18 years old, who completed a protocol of self-report instruments assessing sports anxiety (SAS-2), the perception of coach’s critical attitudes (APoCCAS), mindfulness (CAMM) and self-compassion (SCS). Method: The sample included 184 adolescent athletes (150 boys and 34 girls), aged between 12 and 18 years old, who completed a protocol of self-report instruments assessing sports anxiety (SAS-2), the perception of coach’s critical attitudes (APoCCAS), mindfulness (CAMM) and self-compassion (SCS). Results: Sports anxiety showed a positive association with critical coach attitudes and self-judgment and a negative association with mindfulness. Mindfulness revealed a negative association with self-judgment and the athletes’ perception of the coach’s critical attitudes. Self-judgment was positively associated with the athletes’ perception of the coach’s critical attitudes. The regression model explained 45% of the variance in sports anxiety, with mindfulness and self-judgment being the only predictors. Path analysis results indicated that the athlete’s mindfulness and self-judgment fully mediated the effect of the athletes’ perception of the coach’s critical attitudes on sports anxiety. Conclusions: Results suggest that athletes who perceive more critical attitudes from the coach, who have more self-judgmental attitudes, and fewer mindfulness skills tend to have higher levels of sports anxiety. The present study is innovative in showing how these variables are associated, suggesting that the development of mindfulness skills and the reduction of self-judgmental attitudes can help decrease the impact of the coach’s critical attitudes on competitive anxiety.

Contexto e Objetivo: Este estudo visou perceber e analisar as experiências e o conhecimento de vários profissionais de saúde, da área social e de um cuidador informal sobre a integração de cuidados à pessoa mais velha num contexto pandémico. Método: realizou-se uma investigação de caráter qualitativo na qual participaram sete participantes com funções distintas, mas complementares na essência do cuidado. A recolha de dados foi feita através das comunicações dos participantes do seminário “O ping-pong dos nossos idosos – (Re)pensar, (re)construir e Integrar Cuidados” promovido pela Portuguese Association of Integrated Care (PAFIC) no âmbito da VIII Conferência de Valor da Associação Portuguesa de Administradores Hospitalares (APAH). Resultados: Na perspetiva dos participantes, a integração de cuidados no percurso da pessoa é fundamental e para isso é necessário estreitar a articulação entre Serviço Nacional de Saúde e o social. Bem como, centrar os cuidados na pessoa, aliada à matriz comunitária que leve à transformação do modelo organizativo vigente de cuidados e à mudança nos modelos de gestão que se mantém inalterados há muitos anos. A integração de cuidados das pessoas não depende só da atividade da área da saúde, mas também é condicionada por outros setores de atividade, e por isso importa avaliar o papel que a sociedade civil pode assumir na prestação de cuidados. Conclusões: A pandemia COVID-19 trouxe a oportunidade de reflexão sobre o cuidado à pessoa mais velha e como se podem potenciar parcerias e estratégias de articulação entre os diferentes níveis de cuidados, saúde, sociais e comunitários.

Objective: The current study sought out to assess the mass media impact on the fear of contracting COVID-19. We focused on people's trust in information associated with media type, worry regarding daily reports of statistics, concerns about prevention measures and warnings in the media, news consumption frequency, evaluation of the media in explaining and informing about the pandemic, and the fear of contracting the disease. Methods: The sample comprised 349 participants who completed online a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, a Mass Media Opinion Questionnaire, and the Fear of Contracting Covid-19 Scale (FCCS). Results: Fear of contracting COVID-19 was higher in women compared to men. Participants with higher fear of contracting the disease trusted more in the information provided by television, newspapers, and radio, but not social media. Higher scores on the FCCS were associated with higher scores on clarification, awareness, and information conveyed by media. Trust in newspapers, feelings regarding daily reports of COVID-19, news frequency consumption, and media evaluation in explaining and informing about the pandemic were predictors of fear of contracting COVID-19. Conclusions: Mass media proved to be fundamental in raising awareness and sensitization of the population.

Background: Dropout rates are often very high in distance education. A plethora of research has been conducted to identify the contributing factors; however, the majority of the findings are inconclusive and point to the fact that it is difficult to isolate a single explanatory factor. While frequently examined factors are personal and environmental, there is less research on the relationship between course design and retention or dropout. Method: This paper presents a study involving two-stage cluster analysis of 623 variables from 19 university courses at one open and distance education (ODE) institution. To this end, the current study grouped the courses into five types based on 22 variables. Results: The results indicate that certain sociodemographic variables become a risk factor for course dropout depending on their distribution in the standard courses. Conclusions: This result highlights the importance of instructional design in the ODE retention and dropout equation and helps explain, in part, why previous studies have not reached a consensus on which variables should be considered to explain dropout rates.

A plethora of research has been conducted to identify the contributing factors; however, the majority of the findings are inconclusive and point to the fact that it is difficult to isolate a single explanatory factor. While frequently examined factors are personal and environmental, there is less research on the relationship between course design and retention or dropout. Method: This paper presents a study involving two-stage cluster analysis of 623 variables from 19 university courses at one open and distance education (ODE) institution. To this end, the current study grouped the courses into five types based on 22 variables. Results: The results indicate that certain sociodemographic variables become a risk factor for course dropout depending on their distribution in the standard courses. Conclusions: This result highlights the importance of instructional design in the ODE retention and dropout equation and helps explain, in part, why previous studies have not reached a consensus on which variables should be considered to explain dropout rates.","PeriodicalId":52016,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Investigacao Comportamental e Social","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49405754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: Given the pandemic circumstances, fear may emerge due to uncertainty, the possibility of being infected by SARS-Cov 2 or infecting others. It may also be associated with psychopathological symptoms and impact quality of life resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: The current study aimed to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Fear of Contracting COVID-19 Scale (FCCS) in Portuguese adolescents and analyze the relationship between fear of contracting COVID-19 and depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, and with the quality of life of this age group. Method: The sample comprised 269 adolescents (137 boys and 132 girls), aged between 11 and 16 years old, attending the 3rd cycle of basic education. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the FCCS, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21), and the KIDSCREEN-10, as a measure of the quality of life in adolescents. Results: The FCCS revealed, as in its original version for adults, a one-dimensional structure, with good adjustment indicators and good reliability. The fear of contracting COVID-19 was associated with anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms, but it did not show a relationship with the adolescents’ quality of life. Gender differences showed that the girls present higher levels of fear of contracting COVID-19, more anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms, and a worse perception of their quality of life. Conclusions: The Fear of Contracting COVID-19 Scale showed to be suitable for use with adolescents. The fear of contracting COVID-19, although associated with psychopathological symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, does not seem to be related to the quality of life of adolescents.
