- Development and test of a complex intervention: "promoting spiritual coping” of family caregivers of an adult relative with severe mental illnessPublication . Casaleiro, Tiago; Martins, Helga; Romeiro, Joana; Caldeira, SílviaBackground Severe mental illness is characterized by severe changes in functionality interfering with daily life activities. The home-dwelling person with severe mental illness often needs support from family members who assume the role of caregivers. The performance of the role of family caregiver often leads to a burden, with an impact on physical and mental health. As so, the caregiver develops coping strategies to deal with stressful situations. Among these, spiritual coping strategies are often used, which involve the relationship with oneself, others, and/or the transcendent/God or nature and may include religious or spiritual practices. These strategies are related to improvement in physical and mental well-being. The specialist nurse in mental and psychiatric health has competencies, such as the systemic assessment and intervention based on the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions aiming at the promotion of well-being and mental health. The main goal of this study was to develop and test the intervention “promoting spiritual coping” in the family caregivers of home-dwelling people with mental illness. Materials and methods A mixed-method study with a sequential exploratory design was conducted, using the development and feasibility/pilot phases of the Medical Research Council’s framework. The development stage included a systematic literature review according to Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines; two focus groups with caregivers and experts; and an online modifed e-Delphi. The test phase consisted of a pilot test with ten family caregivers of home-dwelling people with a mental illness accompanied by the community mental health structures of health units in the Lisbon region. The outcomes included spiritual coping, quality of life, and the burden of the family caregiver. Results A protocol for the intervention was developed and tested with a group of ten family caregivers. A three-session intervention was implemented. The outcomes were assessed pre and post-intervention. Signifcant changes were observed in the outcomes and the family caregivers mentioned that it was helpful to discuss issues regarding spirituality and religiosity. Conclusion The intervention "promoting spiritual coping" was developed and tested, considered appropriate for family caregivers of people with mental illness, to be applied in psychotherapeutic context by mental health nurses.
- Eficácia das intervenções de enfermagem na sobrecarga da família da pessoa com esquizofrenia: revisão de literaturaPublication . Casaleiro, Tiago; Seabra, Paulo; Caldeira, SílviaIntrodução: A esquizofrenia é uma perturbação mental grave que por estar associada a incapacidades tem impacto na vida das pessoas e dos seus familiares que, frequentemente, assumem o papel de cuidadores informais. Embora a evidência científica seja ainda limitada, cuidar de um familiar com doença mental parece promover a sobrecarga do cuidador. As intervenções familiares podem ajudar a reduzir a sobrecarga do cuidador na fase aguda da doença e interessa conhecer a eficácia das intervenções do enfermeiro especialista em saúde mental nesse contexto. Objetivo: Identificar a eficácia das intervenções do Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem de Saúde Mental, na sobrecarga da família da pessoa com esquizofrenia internada em serviço de agudos, quando comparada com as intervenções dos enfermeiros generalistas. Material e Método: Revisão de literatura baseada em pesquisa de artigos na plataforma EBSCOhost -, nas línguas inglesa e portuguesa, publicados entre 2000 e 2016. Resultados: Estimou-se a eficácia da intervenção familiar na diminuição da sobrecarga objetiva e subjetiva dos familiares da pessoa com esquizofrenia, realizada por enfermeiros especialistas em saúde mental, quando comparadas com intervenções por enfermeiros não especialistas. A intervenção familiar mostra-se uma estratégia eficaz para a diminuição da sobrecarga do cuidador da pessoa com esquizofrenia. Conclusão: A intervenção com foco na família deve incluir uma abordagem educativa e de suporte.

- Mapping complex interventions in Portuguese healthcare research: a scoping review protocolPublication . Ventura, Filipa; Araújo, Odete; Casaleiro, Tiago; Morgado, Tânia; Oliveira, CláudiaAlong with the worldwide recognition of the importance of the methodological guidance to the validity and rigour of complex health interventions, this scoping review aims to identify and characterise the scientific evidence on complex health interventions in Portuguese healthcare research. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidance for scoping reviews will be followed. The population (P) concept (C) context (C) mnemonic will scaffold the research questions, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and searching strategy. MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, and Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal (RCAAP) will be searched. Scientific evidence reporting complex health interventions in the Portuguese healthcare context, in Portuguese and English and published from 2008 and onwards will be considered for inclusion. Literature pertaining to complex health interventions outside the Portuguese healthcare context will be excluded. The literature will be screened for eligibility by two independent reviewers first by title and abstract and subsequently by full-text. A data matrix will be used for data-extraction of the included literature. The charted data will be thematically analysed and presented graphically with a narrative description of the literature characteristics. The results from this literature review are expected to provide an overview of the knowledge concerning the characteristics and methodological guidance of Portuguese complex health interventions.
- Promoting spiritual coping of family caregivers of an adult relative with severe mental illness: development and test of a nursing interventionPublication . Casaleiro, Tiago; Martins, Helga; Caldeira, SílviaSevere mental illness disrupts daily functioning, burdening family caregivers, who often adopt spiritual coping strategies. With comprehensive skills, mental health nurses can promote well-being and mental health. The aim is to develop and test the nursing intervention “promoting spiritual coping” in the family caregivers of home-dwelling people with mental illness. This study was conducted in two distinct stages. Initially, the intervention was developed according to the first phase of the Framework for Developing and Evaluating Complex Interventions. Secondly, the intervention protocol was tested in a mixed-method pilot study. An intervention protocol was developed and tested on ten family caregivers. The intervention comprised three sessions, and before-and-after assessments were conducted. Significant improvements were observed in the outcomes, with caregivers expressing that discussing spirituality and religiosity benefited them. This intervention prioritized the therapeutic relationship of the nurses and family caregivers. The intervention “promoting spiritual coping” was created and evaluated as a suitable approach for mental health nurses to use in a psychotherapeutic context with family caregivers of individuals with mental illness.
