- Alcohol use and attitudes thought pregnancy and motherhood during pregnancy in a group of Portuguese womenPublication . Xavier, Maria Raul; Dias, Pedro; Veiga, Elisa; Silva, Rui; Gordinho, CláudiaIntroduction Alcohol during pregnancy is a significant health problem with negative prenatal, neonatal and later outcomes. In spite of increase consumption of Portuguese women, data about alcohol during pregnancy is scarce. The objective is to describe patterns of alcohol consumption and related attitudes though pregnancy in group of Portuguese pregnant women. Method The study group includes 222 women seeking prenatal care (childbirth preparation courses) in public health services in the north of Portugal. After a presentation of the aims of the study, and followed a written informed consent, pregnant women fulfil the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test - AUDIT (Babor, 2001) and the Pregnancy and Maternal Attitudes Scale - PMAS (Xavier, Paul & Sousa, 2001). Results Data concerning descriptive analysis of the group will be present. We found that more than 20% of the pregnant women continue to drink during pregnancy. Among this group who reported consumption, a majority (82.6%) reported a consumption frequency of once/month or less and 17.4% reported use two or four times/month. No one reported a superior amount. Results also indicated that consumptions are related to differences on some dimensions of the psychological experience of pregnancy (PMAS: The Imagined Child and Body Image and Dependency subscales). Conclusions Despite WHO, European and Portuguese governmental concerns and recommendations, more than 20% of pregnant women continue to drink. If women were not pregnant, this data corresponds to level risk 1- abstinent and low risk drinkers, but during pregnancy must be viewed with concern and indicate a continued need for research.

- Conhecimentos e perceções públicas acerca do acolhimento familiar: contributos para o desenvolvimento da medidaPublication . Negrão, Mariana; Moreira, Marina; Veríssimo, Lurdes; Veiga, ElisaO acolhimento familiar é uma medida de promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens que tem ganho crescente expressividade na Europa nas últimas décadas. Paralelamente, a investigação tem evidenciado um maior ajustamento desta resposta face às necessidades desenvolvimentais das crianças em perigo. Não obstante, em Portugal, esta é ainda uma medida com muito pouca representação. A capacidade de promover o Acolhimento Familiar, para além de muitos e complexos fatores de ordem política, legislativa e financeira, estará também dependente dos conhecimentos e perceções que a população em geral possa ter sobre a problemática. Assim, este estudo analisa os conhecimentos e perceções de uma amostra da população portuguesa (n=270) acerca do acolhimento familiar. Os resultados demonstram poucos conhecimentos acerca da realidade do acolhimento, mas uma atitude favorável face ao acolhimento familiar e uma elevada disponibilidade dos inquiridos para se tornarem família de acolhimento. A discussão dos resultados é feita tendo em conta as suas implicações para a promoção de uma cultura de acolhimento familiar e para a criação de condições que viabilizem a adesão à medida em Portugal.
- Coping as a mediator and moderator between psychological distress and disordered eating behaviors and weight changes during the COVID-19 pandemicPublication . Machado, Bárbara Cesar; Moreira, Célia S.; Correia, Marta; Veiga, Elisa; Gonçalves, SóniaPrevious research has already shown the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on college students’ well-being and mental health. Eating problems and weight gain due to changes in eating habits and physical activity experienced during this period have also been noticed. However, few studies have explored the role of students’ resources as used during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as coping strategies. This study aimed to (1) explore the associations among psychological distress, disordered eating, coping strategies, and weight changes; (2) examine the moderating role of coping strategies in the process of weight gain and weight loss; and (3) study the mediating role of coping strategies in the process of weight gain and weight loss. The participants in this study were 772 students at a Portuguese university. The data collected included sociodemographic data and three self-reported questionnaires (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale; Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire; Brief COPE) during the first few months of the pandemic, which included a 72-day full national lockdown. The results showed that depression, anxiety, stress, and disordered eating were related to increased weight. Guilt, denial, self-distraction, use of substances, and behavior disinvestment were also related to increased weight. Behavioral disinvestment had a strong mediating effect on weight gain. Additionally, planning, positive reframing, and acceptance all showed a moderating effect between psychological distress and weight changes. In conclusion, coping strategies allow for a better understanding of the mechanisms by which psychological distress and disordered eating were related to weight changes during the pandemic.
