- Development of a Proposal for a Program to Promote Positive Mental Health Literacy among Adolescents: A Focus Group StudyPublication . Nobre, Joana; Arco, Helena; Monteiro, Francisco; Oliveira, Ana Paula; Ferré-Grau, Carme; Sequeira, CarlosOver the last years, there have been several studies that have shown insufficient levels of adolescents’ mental health literacy (MHL). Knowledge about intervention programs that promote positive mental health literacy (PMeHL) among adolescents is still very scarce. In this sense, we defined as objectives to identify and describe the necessary components to design a program proposal that promotes adolescents’ PMeHL. We conducted an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study using two focus groups in July and September 2022 with an intentional non-probability sample of eleven participants (nine professional experts and two adolescents). Data were analyzed using content analysis, using NVivo® 12 software (version 12, QRS International: Daresbury Cheshire, UK). We obtained a total of four categories and eighteen subcategories: structure (context; format; contents; length and frequency; pedagogical methods; pedagogical techniques; resources; denomination), participants (target group; program facilitators), assessment (timing; evaluation instruments), other components (planning, articulation and adaptation; involvement; training; special situations; partnerships; referral). The perspectives of the professional experts and of the adolescents that we obtained from this study contributed to the design of a proposal for a program to promote adolescents’ PMeHL.
- Features of family caregivers of people with dementia attended at a neurology consultationPublication . Sousa, Lia; Sequeira, Carlos; Ferré-Grau, Carme; Neves, Pedro; Lleixà-Fortuno, MarProviding care to someone with dementia is a complex task, that requires a set of speci*c skills and knowledge that family caregivers often lack. Training family caregivers of people with dementia is paramount, and the *rst step towards such purpose should be the identi*cation of their features and the evaluation of their needs. The main aim of this study is to identify the major characteristics of family caregivers of people with dementia in early or moderate stage living at home, who attend the dementia consultation at a hospital in the north of Portugal, through a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. This study is a section from a previous randomized controlled trial, performed to assess the short-term e+cacy of a training programme for family caregivers of people with dementia (the programme “Living together with Dementia”). Regarding the *ndings, we realized that the average age of family caregivers is 52, and these are mostly women, married, with basic education levels and employed. They display intense overload and di+- culties levels, but also high degrees of satisfaction. They mostly resort to mixed coping/ problem resolution strategies and their main needs are expressed as follows: managing emotions and feelings associated with the caring process; developing strategies to preserve physical and mental health; developing knowledge about dementia and its stages and *nally, seeking support from formal institutions
- KIT TOOL-S2 for the Portuguese Healthcare Professional: A Psychometric AnalysisPublication . Amaral, Catarina; Sequeira, Carlos; Albacar-Riobóo, Núria; Pinho, Lara Guedes; Ferré-Grau, CarmeIntroduction: Literacy of health professionals on patient safety aims to prevent and reduce risks and adverse events in healthcare. Objective: The objective of this study was to translate, adapt, and validate for Portugal of the World Health Organization Questionnaire to Assess the Implementation of the Multiprofessional Guide. Methodology: Following the cultural adaptation process, we carried out a psychometric analysis on a sample of 300 health professionals. The scale was tested for apparent and content validity. Psychometric properties were assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Results: Exploratory factor analysis led to a tetra factor structure that accounted for 43.0% of the variance and had an overall alpha of 0.759. The hypothesized structure was submitted to confirmatory factor analysis, and the following items were eliminated from factors 1, 2, and 3 and the respective items: 7; 5; and 3, 4, 5, and 6, due to multicollinearity problems. Overall good-of-fit indexes are reliable. Conclusions: The “KIT TOOL-S2 TEXT” scale presents a factor structure with satisfactory validity and reliability results, adequately representing the constructs in question.

Sousa, Lia; Sequeira, Carlos; Ferré-Grau, CarmeThis article presents results from a conceptual validation of the programme ‘Living Together with Dementia’, through an e-Delphi study carried out during April/May, 2015 with 26 Portuguese and Spanish experts. The programme consists of seven individual weekly sessions and two group sessions over a seven-week period. It covers dementia, communication and behaviour; demands and expectations of the caregiver role; basic activities of daily living; coping and problem solving strategies; physical and mental health of the caregiver and community support. The programme methods mainly consist of discussion sessions, practical examples/simulations and skill training.
- Mental Health Literacy and Positive Mental Health in Adolescents: A Correlational StudyPublication . Nobre, Joana; Calha, António; Luis, Henrique; Oliveira, Ana Paula; Monteiro, Francisco; Ferré-Grau, Carme; Sequeira, CarlosThis study aimed to assess adolescents0 Mental Health Literacy (MHL) level, Positive Mental Health (PMH) level, the association between sociodemographic variables and the MHL and PMH levels, and the relationship between adolescent0 s MHL and PMH levels. A quantitative, crosssectional, correlational study was conducted with a convenience sample of 260 adolescents studying in the 5th to 12th years of school. The Mental Health Knowledge Questionnaire, the Mental HealthPromoting Knowledge, and the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire were used for data collection. Most of the adolescents were female (55.8%) with a mean age of 14.07 years. The participants showed good levels of MHL (MHKQ). The participants showed good levels of MHL (MHKQ x = 60.03; MHPK-10 x = 4.49) and high levels of PMH (x = 128.25). The adolescents with higher levels of MHL were the oldest, in a higher year of school, female, those whose mothers are employed, those who have healthy eating habits, and those who have a better body image self-perception. Adolescents in a lower year of school, with adequate sleep habits, who spend fewer hours a day in front of a screen or online, and who have a better self-perception of mental and physical health and body image were the ones with higher PMH levels. These findings suggest the need to implement experimental or quasi-experimental studies to ascertain the effectiveness of interventions that promote adolescents0 positive mental health literacy

- Patient Safety Training Programs for Health Care Professionals: A Scoping ReviewPublication . Amaral, Catarina; Sequeira, Carlos; Albacar-Riobóo, Núria; Coelho, Joana; Pinho, Lara Guedes; Ferré-Grau, CarmeObjective This study aimed to map the evidence available on patient safety training programs for health professionals. Methods A scoping review was carried out. Several studies published between January 2010 and March 2020 in the following databases were investigated: CINAHL; MEDLINE; Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Cochrane; MedicLatina, via EBSCOhost; World Health Organization; Google Scholar; BVS—Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde; PubMed; B-On; and RCAAP—Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Results A total of 2841 articles were found, 7 were included. Most studies report that the development of patient safety programs for health care professionals provides them with tools and techniques to recognize adverse incidents induced by the professional system/practice; recognize human factors related to patient safety, such as nontechnical skills or tiredness; understand high-risk clinical processes; develop strategies that influence and enhance patient safety culture; promote communication, teamwork, and organizational culture concerning patient safety; analyze other characteristic and emerging topics in patient safety; and develop project proposals to improve patient safety, allowing health care professionals to consolidate their knowledge, leading initiatives to improve patient safety. Conclusions There are still few studies that test patient safety training programs, which is a concern given the importance of implementing safe practices. The existing evidence proves the efficacy of the training programs in improving patient safety, although there are some gaps.
