Abstract(s)
O presente estudo investigou as perceções dos profissionais de saúde mental sobre o processo de intervenção na obesidade pediátrica. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis profissionais experientes na área, para identificar as características, barreiras e facilitadores do tratamento da obesidade em crianças e adolescentes. A análise temática mostrou que a intervenção é vista como um processo multidisciplinar e sistêmico, incluindo aspetos individuais, familiares e contextuais. Os participantes enfatizaram a importância da regulação emocional, das interações familiares e da motivação para mudanças comportamentais sustentáveis. A parceria entre especialistas de distintas áreas e a participação da família foram considerados como elementos-chave para o êxito do tratamento. Porém, foram identificadas como barreiras importantes a resistência parental, as dificuldades na gestão da frustração e a cultura do prazer imediato. Conclui-se que é fundamental a adoção de uma abordagem holística que leve em conta as interações complexas entre os vários fatores psicossociais relacionados para melhorar a eficácia das intervenções na obesidade pediátrica e promover resultados sustentáveis a longo prazo.

The thematic analysis revealed that the intervention is perceived as a multidisciplinary and systemic process, encompassing individual, family, and contextual aspects. Participants emphasized the importance of emotional regulation, family interactions, and motivation for sustainable behavioral changes. Collaboration among specialists from different fields and family involvement were considered key elements for the success of the treatment. However, parental resistance, difficulties in managing frustration, and the culture of immediate gratification were identified as major barriers. It is concluded that adopting a holistic approach that considers the complex interactions among various related psychosocial factors is essential to improve the effectiveness of pediatric obesity interventions and promote sustainable long-term outcomes.
