- Acceptability and applicability of an intervention programme with substance addictsPublication . Seabra, Paulo; BRANTES, ANA; Sequeira, Rui; Arroja Sequeira, Ana Cristina; Simões, Ana Susete De Abreu; Nunes, Inês Robalo; Amaral, Paula; Sequeira, CarlosThe complexity of the problems related to the harmful use of substances requires regular questioning of practices. This article aims to explore the acceptability and applicability of an intervention programme for patients with problematic substance use. Qualitative study. Data collection, through a focus group with 6 nurses and 6 semi-structured interviews with patients under treatment. We have used lexicographic textual analysis. From the focus group, 151 text segments were analysed, retaining 85.8% of the total for the creation of five classes. An analysis of similarity led to the formation of two central nuclei, represented by the words “Nursing” and “Intervention”. From interviews, 252 text segments were analysed, retaining 71.83% for the creation of 5 classes. An analysis of similarity led to the formation of three central nuclei, represented by the words “want”, “programme” and “see”. Nurses recognise the need for a more structured and flexible approach focused on people’s needs. Users also affirm the need for flexible interventions, without a pre-established time frame, that promote labour integration, therapeutic support for abstinence and management of comorbidities.

- Attachment patterns and suicidal behaviours on higher education studentsPublication . Gonçalves, Amadeu; Duarte, João; Sequeira, Carlos; Cabral, Lídia; Freitas, PaulaIntroduction: Every individual has a necessity to establish affective relationships throughout life in order to feel comfort and support. This need is called attachment and allows the human being to explore the world, acquiring knowledge about himself and everyone else.1 There are several changes that occur on students’ lives when enrolling and attending university, a period that is known to include a set of situational and academic transitions which might lead to mental health problems, and thus making students more vulnerable and more prone to develop suicidal behaviours. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation on higher education students and to assess its relationship with attachment patterns. Methods: Quantitative, descriptive and correlational study, applied on a sample of 1074 students from a Portuguese higher education institution. Data collection was possible through an online platform that included a survey with questions regarding sociodemographical and academic proiling, the Portuguese version of the Adult Attachment Scale (EVA)2 and the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire.3 Results: Students’ age varies between the 17 and 49 (−x = 23.9 years old ± 6.107 Sd), the vast majority (64.7%) are females. Results show that the presence/severity of suicidal thoughts is low (−x = 13.84; ± 20.29 Sd) on a scale from 0 to 180 and cut-off point > 41 for values that suggest potential suicidal risk, and based on that, 84 students were identiied (7.8%). We veriied signiicant relationships between suicidal ideation and anxiety and attachment (r = 0.314; P = .000). Conclusions: Although there is not a high prevalence of suicidal ideation on students, we found 84 students in our sample (7.8%) that reveal a potential risk for suicide. The results also show that young students with safe attachment patterns display less suicidal ideation. Safe attachment patterns are essential on interpersonal and social relationships and play an important role during the academic period. We cannot be indifferent towards this issue due to its individual, familiar and social repercussions. Every higher education institution should then establish student support ofices and develop mental health promotion programs as well as suicide prevention campaigns.

Principais temas a abordar: doença e as suas fases, necessidades do cuidador, entre outros. As abordagens metodológicas passam pela discussão dos temas e pelas técnicas de resolução de problemas. A avaliação deve realizar-se antes e após o programa, através de instrumentos que mensurem as características sociodemográficas, a sobrecarga, a satisfação, entre outros. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo permitiu identificar as principais características que devem integrar os programas de capacitação para familiares cuidadores de pessoas com demência a residir no domicílio, abrindo portas para o desenvolvimento de intervenções nesta área e para futuros projetos de investigação.
