- Contributes for the development of a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing: A focus group study in Portugal and SpainPublication . Sampaio, Francisco Miguel Correia; Sequeira, Carlos; Lluch Canut, María TeresaPurpose: To explore the aspects set forth as the minimum set of features that should integrate a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing. Design andMethods: Two focus groupswere conducted, with the participation of 15 nursing professionals. Data were analysed thematically. Findings: Five topics previously identifiedwere analysed: theoretical conceptualization, structure, patients’ inclusion and exclusion criteria, operationalization, and evaluation of the intervention(s) effectiveness. Theoretical conceptualization has been mainly grounded on Peplau’s theory.Moreover, participants believe that standardized nursing language and nursing process should be the presumptions of the model. Practice Implications: This study allowed the identification of a minimum set of features that should integrate a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing, about which consensus must be reached with a view to its further development.
- Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties of the Mental Vulnerability Questionnaire in Undergraduate StudentsPublication . Sequeira, Carlos; Barbosa, Elsa Natalina Mendes; Nogueira, Maria José Carvalho; Sampaio, Francisco Miguel CorreiaPURPOSE: Translate, adapt the language, and assess the psychometric properties of theMental Vulnerability Questionnaire (MVQ) in a Portuguese population sample of young adults. DESIGN AND METHODS: A psychometric validation study was performed. The sample comprised 166 undergraduate students. Factor analysis was applied to extract three indicators. FINDINGS: The MVQ showed divergent validity with the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire (p<.001) and convergent validity with theMental Health Inventory including five items (p < .001). Reliability was verified through the assessment of internal consistency, evidencing positive outcomes (Cronbach’s α = 0.81). PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The MVQ shows psychometric properties enabling its adaptation to clinical practice and research, essential to an effective screening of mental vulnerability.
- Content Validity of a Psychotherapeutic Intervention Model in Nursing: A Modified e-Delphi StudyPublication . Sampaio, Francisco Miguel Correia; Sequeira, Carlos; Lluch Canut, TeresaAim: To estimate the content validity of a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing. Background: Mental health nurses encounter great extrinsic difficulties when it comes to providing psychotherapeutic interventions due to the fact that they are not allowed to perform such practice in some countries. In this light, the pursuit of a psychotherapeutic interventionmodel in nursing seemsgermane to guide the professionals' psychotherapeutic practice, contributing hereof to increase mental health nurses' professional autonomy. Design: Modified e-Delphi. Methods: Data were collected from October 2015 to January 2016 by means of three rounds of online questionnaires. The initial questionnairewas structured into five sections: general structure of the model, patients' exclusion criteria, assessment framework, nursing diagnoses, and nursing psychotherapeutic interventions. From the 42 experts invited, at least twenty (20) participated in each round. Results: The experts achieved consensus with regard to the conclusion that nursing psychotherapeutic interventions should always seek to address a nursing diagnosis. These defined furthermore that a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing should be exercised by means of 3 to 12 sessions using Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) as a resource. Finally, experts deemed that the model should follow the principles of integrative psychotherapy, so that techniques from different schools of psychotherapy could therefore be used in conjunction to promote the resolution of a nursing diagnosis. Conclusion: Achieving consensus about the structure of a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing is imperative to guide nurses in the provision of nursing psychotherapeutic interventions and to enable an effective evaluation of the health gains associated with its implementation.
