- Contributos para o estudo da adaptação familiar de pessoas com transtorno neurocognitivoPublication . Silva, Mafalda; Sá, LuísINTRODUÇÃO & OBJETIVOS: O aparecimento de uma doença crónica tem repercussões na família a vários níveis físico, psíquico, social, económico e na sua dinâmica relacional, diminuindo a independência e autonomia da pessoa doente e, por conseguinte, a qualidade de vida de todos os elementos do agregado familiar. Pretendemos apresentar a validação de conteúdo por peritos, como etapa essencial da validação do instrumento psicométrico construído através da revisão da literatura sobre a temática e baseado em seis dimensões: económica, relações familiares, social, emocional, procura de informação e de cuidados de saúde e espiritual. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de um estudo de delphi, recorrendo-se a um painel de 42 peritos na área para validar o conteúdo de um instrumento de avaliação que avalia o impacto do transtorno neurocognitivo nos diferentes membros do agregado familiar. A coleta e análise de dados na 1ª ronda decorreu em junho e a 2ª ronda decorreu em outubro de 2018.
- COVID-19 pandemic and its psychological impact among healthy Portuguese and Spanish nursing studentsPublication . Laranjeira, Carlos; Querido, Ana; Marques, Goreti; Silva, Mafalda; Simões, Daniela; Gonçalves, Luísa; Figueiredo, RitaFew studies have explored the impacts of COVID-19 and lockdown on the mental health of undergraduate nursing students. This study aimed: a) to explore perceived stress among undergraduate nursing students in Portugal and Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak; and b) to analyze several COVID-19 related factors and psychological issues that may be associated with perceived stress. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of Portuguese and Spanish undergraduate nursing students (n=1075). The data gathered included demographic information, questions about COVID-19 related factors, and psychological issues. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression with a degree of significance at p<0.05. High perceived stress scores were found in 558 participants (51.9%). Students with high perceived stress most likely had a COVID-19 diagnosis in their household; their household income had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; experienced difficulty falling asleep or sleeping all night; consumed junk food in excess; neglected their appearance; felt headaches, stomach aches, and back pain; and lacked the patience or desire to exercise. Additionally, high perceived stress was negatively associated with life satisfaction. The results provide evidence that infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, may significantly influence mental health. Further research should explore the long-term psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic among nursing students.
