- Positive Mental Health in University Students and Its Relations with Psychological Vulnerability, Mental Health Literacy, and Sociodemographic Characteristics: A Descriptive Correlational StudyPublication . Teixeira, Sónia; Ferré-Grau, Carme; Canut, Teresa Lluch; Pires, Regina; Carvalho, José Carlos; Carvalho Ribeiro, Isilda Maria Oliveira; Sequeira, Carolina; Ferreira, Teresa de Jesus Rodrigues; Sampaio, Francisco; Costa, Tiago; Sequeira, CarlosAbstract: This study aimed to evaluate positive mental health (PMH) and its relation with sociodemographic characteristics, mental health literacy, and the psychological vulnerability scale (PVS) in Portuguese university students aged 17 to 62. A descriptive correlational study was carried out. An online survey was conducted to evaluate demographic variables, and several questionnaires were applied to evaluate positive mental health, psychological vulnerability, and mental health literacy. The data was collected from 1 November 2019 to 1 September 2020. Overall, 3405 students participated in the study. The results show that 67.8% of students revealed a high level of PMH, 31.6% presented a medium level of PMH, and 0.6% had a low level of PMH. Male students reported higher personal satisfaction (t (3170) = 2.39, p = 0.017) and autonomy (t (3170) = 3.33, p = 0.001) in PMH compared to female students. Students without a scholarship scored higher (t (3127) = 2.04, p = 0.42) in PMH than students who held a scholarship. Students who were not displaced from their home reported higher (t (3170) = 1.99, p = 0.047) self-control in PMH than those displaced from their home. University students with higher PMH results had lower PVS results and higher literacy results. The findings of this study will contribute to identifying students’ PMH intervention needs.
- Psychoeducation Programs to Reduce Preoperative Anxiety in Adults: A Scoping ReviewPublication . Oliveira, Palmira; Porfírio, Catarina; Pires, Regina; Silva, Rosa; Carvalho, José Carlos; Costa, Tiago; Sequeira, CarlosAbstract: Background: Surgical procedure is a critical event that causes anxiety for patients. One of the possible intervention strategies to reduce anxiety in the preoperative period is psychoeducation. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR to map knowledge about psychoeducation programs to reduce preoperative anxiety in adults. The data were extracted by the researchers, according to the objective of the study. Finally, the data synthesis was presented in narrative format and tables. Results: four studies were included in the review with different characteristics of psychoeducation programs. The approach of these programs consisted of teaching about anxiety, instruction and training in anxiety control techniques. The contents referred to included the surgical process and intervention techniques to reduce anxiety. Program sessions lasted from 45 to 150 min, with a frequency of 1 to 6. The assessment instrument used was the State- Trait Anxiety Inventory. The dynamisers were nurses, psychotherapists and clinical psychologists. Conclusions: Psychoeducation programs can be useful and effective in reducing anxiety. More studies are needed to confirm these results
- Formação e desenvolvimento de competências de estudantes de enfermagem em contexto de ensino clínico em saúde mental e psiquiatriaPublication . Martinho, Júlia; Pires, Regina; Carvalho, José Carlos; Pimenta, GraçaA formação em contexto da prática é uma componente fundamental na integração de saberes e desenvolvimento de competências dos estudantes de enfermagem, constituindo um eixo estruturante da sua socialização e construção da identidade profissional. Considerando a complexidade que envolve a formação em contexto de saúde mental e psiquiatria, a supervisão dos estudantes assume uma relevância decisiva, na medida em que lhes proporciona os instrumentos necessários para a otimização da aprendizagem e desenvolvimento de competências. OBJETIVO: conhecer as perspetivas dos estudantes sobre o ensino clínico em contexto de saúde mental e psiquiatria e as competências desenvolvidas no decurso do mesmo. METODOLOGIA: estudo exploratório, de natureza quantitativa. Colheita de dados efetuada de 13 de fevereiro a 30 abril 2013. Todos os procedimentos éticos foram respeitados. Realizada a caraterização sociodemográ!ca do estudante e a avaliação das competências que se desenvolvem com maior predominância através da escala Adaptive Competency Pro!le – ACP, validada para Portugal. RESULTADOS: amostra constituída por 48 estudantes, sendo 42 (87,5%) do sexo feminino, com M=22,9 anos (DP=3,9). Como motivação para a escolha do curso, 42,6% referem a questão vocacional, 34,4% o interesse na área da saúde e 23% o fato de terem contactado com a enfermagem enquanto recetores de cuidados. CONCLUSÕES: os estudantes salientam o ensino clínico como uma mais-valia possibilitando-lhes confronto com a realidade da profissão, proporcionando-lhes experiências de trabalho e preparação para o futuro. As competências mais desenvolvidas em contexto de psiquiatria são as de relação, ligadas à experiência concreta e à observação reflexiva.
