Objective: Psychometric properties of Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices in a Portuguese community sample were investigated. Method: The sample consists of 522 people (250 men and 272 women), aged between 12 and 95 years. All participants completed an informed consent form and a battery of neuropsychological tests, including Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM), Rey 15-Item Memory Test, Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and Rey Complex Figure Test. Results: The average in RSPM was 41.18 (SD = 12.03). The results showed that all sociodemographic variables (age, sex, education, profession, regions, and place of residence) significantly influenced RSPM scores. The reliability and temporal stability of RSPM were adequate. Conclusions: This study suggests that RSPM is an instrument with potential for use among the Portuguese population.

Background and Objective: Disordered eating behaviours are a spectrum of maladaptive eating behaviours that affect a substantial proportion of today's society, having been studied regarding their relationship with different dietary patterns. The present study aimed to better characterise the omnivore, vegan, vegetarian and palaeolithic (paleo) dietary patterns and explore dietary pattern's differences regarding disordered eating indicators, sociodemographic data, the motive of choice of dietary pattern and perception of health value. Method: All data were collected online, comprising a sample of 447 [omnivores (n = 281), vegetarians (n = 61), vegans (n = 50) and paleo (n = 55)] women from the general Portuguese population. Results: Results revealed that the dietary patterns differed regarding motive of choice (omnivores: "Family habit"; vegetarians and vegans: "Ethical/Moral"; paleo: "Weight/Shape control") and on the self-assessed health value of their dietary pattern, with the vegan and paleo diets reporting the highest values. Finally, the groups differed significantly regarding disordered eating, binge eating, and orthorexic behaviours, with the paleo group generally presenting the highest values. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of exploring the individual's dietary pattern, including motive of choice, in the field of eating psychopathology, with an emphasis on the paleo diet as a risk factor. This means that prevention and intervention clinical guidelines should be developed for individuals with this dietary pattern.

Objective: The study aims to assess the prevalence of burnout in social workers working in Portugal during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Method: Descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional study carried out between November 2020 and March 2021, 416 social workers from 20 municipalities in mainland Portugal and the islands participated, answering a brief sociodemographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey. Results: Most social workers who participated in the study were represented by women (96.3%). It was found that 54.7% have been working in social work for more than 11 years, and 43.8% were managers / responsible for more than 60 processes. In general, there was no burnout in the participants. Although 82.3% of participants presented results of Personal Accomplishment, it is evident that some participants also presented Emotional Exhaustion (45.1%). Participants who worked overtime and the participants with a greater number of processes presented higher levels of Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization. Participants with fewer years of activity in social work were the ones who presented higher levels in the Personal Accomplishment dimension. Conclusions: Participants in this study do not evidence the presence of burnout. However, although the vast majority present results that reveal personal accomplishment, a considerable percentage reveals higher levels of Emotional Exhaustion. Future studies should assess biological patterns, such as cortisol levels.

Objective: This study aims to understand the experience of mothers of newborns at risk and danger from the perspective of a maternal health and obstetrics nursing team. Methods: Qualitative research and transversal design were carried out, and nineteen maternal health and obstetrics nurses participated. Data collection was done using a sociodemographic questionnaire and semi-structured interview guide composed of open questions. Results: In the perspective of nurses interviewed, the life course of mothers of newborns at-risk and in danger presents an accumulation of challenging events, which in some cases may affect maternal care and consequently the future development of the newborn. In addition, according to nurses interviewed, mothers deal with the evaluation of the risk and dangerous situations, especially with the fear of separation from newborns. Despite this, they consider that in most cases, collaboration for professional work is positive. Conclusions: It is necessary for professionals who accompany these mothers and families to carry out an assessment and intervention given the needs of newborns at an early stage to avoid the perpetuation of risk and dangerous situations.

Objective: Short self-report measures contemplating the three attitudinal components (cognitive, behavioural, and emotional) towards the homeless population are scarce. The current study aimed to develop and study an exploratory version of a new questionnaire targeting attitudes towards homeless people. Method: The sample comprised 361 participants from the general population. Participants completed five self-report instruments, including the Questionnaire on Attitudes Toward Homeless People (QARPSSA). Results: Exploratory factor analysis of the QARPSSA led to the removal of 15 items resulting in a 17-items final version. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the three-factor tested model showed a good adjustment quality: CFI = .90; GFI = .92; RMSEA = .07 and MECVI = 1.02. Only the normalised chi-square adjustment index showed a poor fit to the data (X2 / df = 2.51). The average extracted variance was .49, a value higher than the square of the correlations between the factors (.002 to .25), being suggestive of discriminant validity. Reliability analysis revealed a Cronbach's alpha value of .77 and composite reliability of .91. Conclusions: This exploratory version of the QARPSSA proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing attitudes towards the homeless population, which can be used in several contexts.

Objective: Identify the perception of professionals regarding the benefits and difficulties of implementing the Methodology of Care Humanitude (MCH) in Residential homes for older people care practice. Method: This is an exploratory and descriptive study of a qualitative nature, covering a sample of three interlocutors with experience in the formation and implementation of MCH. Data collection was carried out through a mixed questionnaire, with open questions being interpreted using the content analysis technique. Results: The benefits of MCH relate to the people cared for (e.g., increased acceptance of care), to formal caregivers/collaborators (e.g., reduced absenteeism), as well as to the organizational system (changing the culture of care). The challenges arise internally (e.g., appropriation of techniques, resistance to change) and externally (e.g., training of professionals, organization of care focused on the task). Conclusions: MCH is an approach centered on interaction with the person being cared for, with benefits that span the entire organizational context. Its implementation translates opportunities for the daily practice of care, encompassing the people cared for and the teams providing care, influencing the organizational context. MCH represents a change in the care paradigm; however, there are several challenges to its implementation in practice, which suggests that greater involvement of all care interlocutors is suggested, namely the formal leaders of institutions and agents of public policies.

Background and Aim: Caring for dependent older adults at home is an increasingly frequent reality in today's ageing society, resulting in the need to provide careers with the skills and knowledge which were not traditionally part of the family realm. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of an Educational Technology in the training process of careers of dependent older adults at home. Method: Participants were 12 family caregivers who accompanied older adults admitted to a reference hospital in trauma, located in Fortaleza-Ceara-Brazil, a month after returning home. Eight family caregivers reported previous experience caring for older adults at home, and four revealed to have a superficial knowledge of the matter. This was a qualitative study based on action research through the creation, application and assessment of an educational program. The Educational Technology built for this purpose was based on the Theory of Basic Human Needs and the assumptions of health education. Results: Knowledge acquisition mediated by the application of Educational Technology led to changes in providing basic human needs of older adults' in-home care, namely the understanding of the ageing process, adaptation of the physical environment, nutritional adequacy, tolerance, autonomy and family involvement. Conclusions: The use of Educational Technology had an impact on the praxis of the family caregiver through the supply of the basic human needs of the older person being cared for. This tool emerges as a useful complement to strengthen the abilities of the informal caregiver of the dependent older adult.

Objectives: The current study aims to test the mediating role of fears of receiving compassion from others and of current feelings of social safeness and connectedness in the association between external shame and the psychological well-being of adolescents. We hypothesize that adolescents with higher levels of external shame may have lower psychological well-being indicators due to increased fear of receiving compassion from others and decreased feelings of social safeness. Methods: A total of 361 Portuguese adolescents of both sexes (43.8% boys; 56.2% girls), aged between 12 and 18 participated in this study by completing self-report measures to evaluate feelings of shame, fears of compassion, current feelings of social safeness, and the psychological well-being of adolescents. Data were analyzed through descriptive and correlational statistics, and the suitability of the model was tested via path analysis. Results: Results seemed to demonstrate that, in both sexes, adolescents’ external shame is associated with psychological well-being. This effect was mediated by increased fear of receiving others' compassion and decreased connection and security feelings in social contexts. Specifically, results indicated that the tested model presented an adequate adjustment to the data, explaining 15.0% of the variance of fears of receiving compassion from others, 37.0% of the variance of current feelings of social safeness, and 46.0% of the variance of the psychological well-being of adolescents. Conclusions: This study contributes to a better understanding of the role that feelings of inferiority, fears of receiving compassion from others, and difficulty establishing safe and pleasurable relationships with others, in the social context, have on the psychological well-being of adolescents of both sexes.

Conclusions: This study contributes to a better understanding of the role that feelings of inferiority, fears of receiving compassion from others, and difficulty establishing safe and pleasurable relationships with others, in the social context, have on the psychological well-being of adolescents of both sexes.","PeriodicalId":52016,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Investigacao Comportamental e Social","volume":"6 1","pages":"56-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69633565","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}

Objective: The study aimed to analyze the mediation between healthcare and informal social support in the continuing healthcare process. Participants: fifty-seven patients were referred in 2019 by a hospital to the Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados in Portugal (a continuing healthcare services network). The sample was mostly female (63.2%; n = 36), with an average age of 80 years old (DP = 9.2), predominantly from rural areas (64.9%; n = 37), married (56.1%; n = 32), and 35.0% lived alone (n = 20). Methods: Descriptive study with univariate quantitative analysis and categorical content analysis of social work data. Results: Of the 57 patients referred to the Network, deaths and cancellations were registered in 32 cases (56.1%). Of the 25 patients discharged from the Network in the post-discharge period, all needed informal and/or formal support, while at the hospital referral date, only 20.0% of the sample needed support (p < .001). Of those who had support, about a third had support from the primary social network, mostly from their sons or daughters, and about half of the patients had emigrant children. At post-discharge 64.0% (n = 16 out of 25) had informal support. We also found that 8.8% of the patients were caregivers and began to require care. Conclusion: The study confirms the importance of ensuring continued care for citizens who have seen their vulnerability increased by illness, as well as the centrality of the informal support system for patients.
