- Ancoragem : um programa de psicoeducação para familiares de doentes com esquizofreniaPublication . Cabral, Joana Moura; Bulhões, Marta; Pereira, Vanessa Micaela da Ponte; da Motta, Carolina; Caldeira, Suzana Nunes; Carvalho, CéliaA Psicoeducação é uma abordagem educativa não-formal, que tem vindo a ganhar relevo pelo impacto positivo que exerce no processo de recuperação de determinadas doenças. Esta abordagem tem como principal objetivo fornecer informação sobre uma doença e disponibilizar ferramentas para lidar com as particularidades do problema de saúde. A literatura sobre intervenções psicoeducativas refere-se essencialmente a sessões expositivas de conhecimentos técnicos da doença, parecendo existir poucas referências que especifiquem outros métodos e técnicas pedagógicas utilizadas neste tipo de intervenção. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar um programa de psicoeducação, dando principal enfoque ao papel dos vários métodos e técnicas pedagógicas utilizadas no mesmo.
- Biting myself so I don’t bite the dust : prevalence and predictors of deliberate self-harm and suicide ideation in Azorean youthsPublication . Carvalho, Célia; Motta, Carolina; Sousa, Marina; Cabral, Joana MouraTo characterize non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors, methods, and functions as well as suicide ideation in the adolescent population of a Portuguese community in São Miguel Island, Azores. Increasing rates of NSSI behaviors among adolescents have been observed globally, while suicidal behavior has been pointed as a major cause of death during adolescence. A sample of 1,763 adolescents, aged 14 to 22, was randomly drawn from public and private schools and administered a set of self-report questionnaires. Descriptive and regression analyses were used to look for specific relationships and predictors of NSSI and suicide ideation in this isolated community. Approximately 30% of youths reported at least one NSSI behavior, a rate that is twice as high as most studies carried out in mainland Portugal and in other European countries. Biting oneself was the most frequent form of NSSI, and NSSI behaviors served predominantly automatic reinforcement purposes (i.e., regulation of disruptive emotional states). NSSI and suicide ideation encompassed different distal and proximal risk factors. Exploring and characterizing these phenomena is necessary to provide a better understanding, enhance current conceptualizations, and guide the development of more effective prevention and intervention strategies in youths.
- Characterization and Predictors of Paranoid Ideation in YouthsPublication . Sousa, Marina; Carvalho, Célia; da Motta, Carolina; Cabral, Joana Moura; Pereira, Vera Lúcia do Couto; Caldeira, Suzana Nunes; Peixoto, Ermelindo BernardoParanoid ideation is a common thought process that constitutes a defense against perceived social threats. The current study aimed at the characterization of paranoid ideation in youths and to explore the possible predictors involved in the development of paranoid ideations. Paranoid ideation, shame, submission, early childhood memories and current depressive, anxious and stress symptomatology were assessed in a sample of 1516 Portuguese youths. Higher frequencies of paranoid ideation were observed, particularly in females and youths from lower socioeconomic status. The main predictors identified relates to submissive behaviors and adverse childhood experiences, and especially to shame feelings. The current study emphasizes that the predictors are similar to findings in adults and clinical populations, and future implications to research and clinical practice aiming at paranoid ideations are discussed, as well as the pertinence of the study of mediating factors that allow a wider understanding of this thought process in younger populations and the prevention of psychopathology in adulthood.
- Development and psychometric properties of the community integration scale of adults with psychiatric disordersPublication . Cabral, Joana Moura; Carvalho, Célia; Motta, Carolina; Silva, OsvaldoThe goal of the current study was to develop and validate the Community Integration Scale for adults with Psychiatric Problems (CISAPP), based on a multidimensional model of community integration. The three-dimensional structure (including physical, psychological, and social dimensions) and validity of CIS-APP was studied in a sample of 183 psychiatric patients from the Azores Islands-Portugal. Confirmatory Factor Analysis has led to the choice of a two-factor with a second order factor solution. Results showed that the CIS-APP is a measure with good psychometric properties, with very good internal consistency and alidity, and with relevant applicability in both clinical and research settings. Furthermore, the current outcomes have brought relevant information concerning the refinement of the theoretical community integration model that underlies the scale’s development.
- O Grilo Interior no Ensino Superior : auto-criticismo e auto-compaixão em alunos universitáriosPublication . Cabral, Joana Moura; Róias, Carla Patrícia Costa; Pereira, Carolina; Benevides, Joana; Teixeira, Marco; Carvalho, CéliaO autocriticismo e a autocompaixão têm suscitado interesse por serem fatores de vulnerabilidade e proteção, respetivamente, para diversas dificuldades psicossociais. Porém, pouco sabemos sobre a sua influência nos alunos do Ensino Superior. Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre o autocriticismo e autocompaixão e variáveis académicas. Metodologia: Participaram neste trabalho 662 estudantes da Universidade dos Açores, preenchendo um questionário sociodemográfico e académico; a Escala das Formas do Autocriticismo e Auto tranquilização (FSCRS); e o Questionário de Vivências Académicas (QVA-r). Resultados e conclusões: Os dados revelaram uma relação fraca, significativa, entre o autocriticismo e as reprovações, levando-nos a refletir sobre o papel que o autocriticismo e a auto-tranquilização poderão ter no percurso académico do indivíduo.
- Intervenções psicoeducativas dirigidas a familiares de indivíduos com transtorno bipolarPublication . Cabral, Joana Moura; Carvalho, Célia; Castilho, Paula; Pato, Carlos N.Os familiares/cuidadores informais (CI) de indivíduos com transtornos mentais graves, como é o caso do Transtorno Bipolar (TB), estão sujeitos a um conjunto de dificuldades. Deste modo, é internacionalmente reconhecia a necessidade de se consolidar o apoio prestado a este tipo de CI. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as características de intervenções destinadas a CI de indivíduos com TB, a partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Os artigos analisados destacam que estas intervenções se revelam eficazes na redução da sobrecarga do CI e na melhoria da sua capacidade de cuidar, o que, por sua vez, se traduz na redução de recaídas do indivíduo com TB.
- Paranoia in the General Population : a revised version of the General Paranoia Scale for AdultsPublication . Carvalho, Célia; Sousa, Marina; da Motta, Carolina; Pinto-Gouveia, José; Caldeira, Suzana Nunes; Peixoto, Ermelindo Bernardo; Cabral, Joana Moura; Fenigstein, AllanBackground: Paranoid ideation has been regarded as a cognitive and a social process used as a defence against perceived threats. According to this perspective, paranoid ideation can be understood as a process extending across the normal-pathological continuum. Methods: In order to refine the construct of paranoid ideation and to validate a measure of paranoia, 906 Portuguese participants from the general population and 91 patients were administered the General Paranoia Scale (GPS), and two conceptual models (one - and tridimensional) were compared through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: Results from the CFA of the GPS confirmed a different model than the one-dimensional model proposed by Fenigstein and Vanable, which com-prised three dimensions (mistrust thoughts, persecutory ideas, and self-deprecation). This alternative model presented a better fit and increased sensitivity when compared with the one-dimensional model. Further data analysis of the scale revealed that the GPS is an adequate assessment tool for adults, with good psychometric characteristics and high internal consistency. Conclusion: The model proposed in the current work leads to further refinements and enrichment of the construct of paranoia in different populations, allowing the assessment of three dimensions of paranoia and the risk of clinical paranoia in a single measure for the general population.
