- Cumprir com segurança a medicação nos centros de dia intervenção de enfermagem comunitáriaPublication . Sousa, Marisa Filipa do Rosário e; Garcia, Elisa Maria BernardoO envelhecimento populacional tem vindo a revelar-se cada vez mais acentuado, associado a este está o aumento da prevalência de doenças não transmissíveis de evolução prolongada. O uso de medicamentos tem-se revelado essencial na resposta às múltiplas comorbilidades que as pessoas idosas desenvolvem. O envelhecimento da população desencadeou a criação de medidas políticas para dar resposta às necessidades desta população idosa e às suas famílias. Foram criadas respostas sociais, especificamente os centros de dia que visam acompanhar e apoiar as famílias em alturas de maior fragilidade. A responsabilidade de cuidar das pessoas idosas dependentes por norma cabe à família, que na impossibilidade de os assegurar, recorre a estes centros de dia e aos seus cuidadores formais. As pessoas idosas representam uma população vulnerável, tornando-se essencial identificar as necessidades dos seus cuidadores no processo de gestão da medicação, garantindo a adesão à terapêutica dos utentes que frequentam os centros de dia, bem como a manutenção da sua segurança. O projeto “Cumprir a medicação +” foi desenvolvido num centro de dia, na zona de abrangência da UCC onde decorreu o estágio. Teve como objetivo contribuir para a capacitação das ajudantes de ação direta relativamente ao processo de gestão da medicação das pessoas idosas. A fundamentação teórica baseou-se numa revisão bibliográfica e numa revisão da literatura do tipo Scoping Review. O projeto foi suportado pelo modelo teórico de Dorothea Orem e a metodologia do planeamento em saúde para avaliar necessidades, fixar objetivos, programar a intervenção comunitária, executá-la e avaliá-la. Foram desenvolvidas intervenções no âmbito da educação para a saúde. Destacam-se como principais resultados deste projeto, a participação das ajudantes de ação direta, quer na adesão às sessões de formação e satisfação com as mesmas, assim como os resultados satisfatórios sobre os conhecimentos adquiridos. Torna-se evidente que pela proximidade que o enfermeiro de enfermagem comunitária tem com a comunidade e pelos problemas de saúde que identifica, encontra-se num papel privilegiado para o apoio e acompanhamento das ajudantes de ação direta. As atividades executadas contribuíram para o desenvolvimento de competências específicas do enfermeiro especialista em enfermagem comunitária e de saúde pública.
- Subsidiariedade : doutrina política e modelo de EstadoPublication . Mangerona, Sílvia Teresa Guerreiro Lopes Garção; Cruz, Manuel António Garcia Braga daA subsidiariedade é um princípio de direito natural que regula as competências baseadas em responsabilidades próprias. É, também, um princípio democrático na medida em que a sua aplicação impede a omnipotência das instituições e do Estado. Reconhecemos que o Estado deve actuar a par das outras comunidades que o precedem e, para além de supletivo, deve ser subsidiário. O poder tem de ser partilhado por todas as estruturas da sociedade e conviver em ambiente de sinalagma onde todos assumem os seus direitos e deveres. Caberá ao Estado, enquanto elemento fundamental para o bem comum, enquadrar as responsabilidades e capacidades de todos, incentivando-os com a mesma convicção com que assume a persecução das suas responsabilidades. Pretendemos demonstrar que a subsidiariedade é doutrina política na aplicação jurídica e administrativa e é modelo de Estado com orientações de organização interna e externa. O Estado subsidiário tem uma função interna quando responde aos novos desafios da sua população, dentro do seu território – Estado social subsidiário. E tem uma função externa enquanto matriz orientadora da organização internacional – Estado soberano subsidiário. O Estado subsidiário edifica-se sobre conceitos fundamentais a que chamámos – princípios estruturantes: liberdade, responsabilidade, participação, criatividade, solidariedade e proximidade. Unidos pelo propósito do bem comum, os princípios estruturantes do Estado subsidiário assimilam a matriz filosófica da ideia da subsidiariedade onde predominam os valores da tradição judaico-cristã, com séculos de história europeia, que não podem ser esquecidos.
- The prosocial pandemic : a study on prosocial behavioural intentions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemicPublication . Leitão, Mariana Calado Bernardo Cardoso; Braga, João Pedro Niza JacintoOn December 31st, 2019, the World Health Organization was introduced to COVID-19 - a new disease that would turn out to be the global pandemic of the century. Since then, the coronavirus has left a trail of unforeseeable consequences in our society, ranging from a public health mayhem to an environment of socio-economic uncertainty. Despite physical changes being evident in everyone's lives, some changes are not as clear to the naked eye. In fact, the way individuals think and act may have also changed. The present research focuses on some of those changes, in particular in what concerns one’s prosociality – How has individuals’ prosocial behavioural intentions been affected by the pandemic context? This dissertation sought to answer this question by exploring possible responses and reactions to the pandemic that would have an impact on prosocial intentions, in addition to how individuals respond to prosocial decisions when presented with a pandemic reminder. A series of studies revealed that the COVID-19 situational context fosters indeed individuals’ prosocial behavioural intentions. Several findings led to this conclusion, in particular that both a higher concern and an increased understanding of COVID-19 as a matter of socio-economic relevance, increases individuals’ willingness to help. Moreover, when reminded of the pandemic, individuals revealed willingness to make higher donations as well as showed a preference to buy from small businesses proportional to their assessment on their financial risk. COVID-19 is undoubtedly changing the world, and, in what concerns prosociality, for the better.

- Which corporations are likely to engage in LGBTQ+ activism?Publication . Plath, Carolin; Elnayal, Omar Salaheldin Ahmed NabihIn the past decade corporations have increasingly engaged in social activism, even if it does not relate to their core business. Similarly, CEOs have used their influence to publicly address social issues, such as public policy decisions. Therefore, this paper examines the questions which companies engage in social activism, specifically LGBTQ+ activism. Since CEOs have been more vocal, Upper-Echelon Theory, which states that the values and characteristics of CEOs affect the way an organization behaves, served as the motivation for the research design. The paper looks at LGBTQ+ activism in the form of tweets as the dependent variable, made by the companies in the S&P 500 between 2012 and 2019, in relation to the CEOs leading them. Their age, gender, ethnicity, and political orientation served as the demographic characteristics described in Upper Echelon Theory and as the independent variables tested. The analysis revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between corporate LGBTQ+ activism and liberal CEOs, revealing that the personal politics of the CEOs are an indication for which companies are likely to engage in LGBTQ+ activism. Due to the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans in US politics as well as the partisan approach to social issues this provides insight into where corporate and CEO activism might be headed.
- Reflection of self-serving biases on memory representations : the unconscious effects of hedonic and utilitarian consumptionPublication . Orsenigo, Luca; Braga, João Pedro Niza JacintoThe literature on consumer behavior already revealed that hedonic consumption suffers from the stigma of being considered as wasteful and unnecessary due to underlying cultural and religious beliefs. Therefore, consumers indulging in hedonic consumption commonly experience feelings of guilt and need for justification. Additionally, people act according to the sacrosanct belief that the self is a moral, lovable, and capable individual. When they are threatened by potential evidence that is in contrast with that belief, consumers unconsciously adapt their behavior to restore a flattering self-image. This study tackles the implications of hedonic and utilitarian consumption by investigating the reflection of self-serving biases on memory, which is subject to distortions through a process called belief-harmonization. The feeling of guilt related to hedonic consumption is expected to activate compensatory mechanisms and lead to the occurrence of memory distortions. An online survey was distributed, dividing participants into two manipulation conditions: self threat and self-affirmation. Respondents were presented with a situation in which they theoretically purchased a product that featured both hedonic and utilitarian attributes, which they had to recall a few minutes later, after a distraction task. The results exhibited a strong impact of hedonism and utilitarianism on memory distortions, which have been amplified by the manipulation. Participants exposed to self-threat recalled more utilitarian features then hedonic, whereas those exposed to self-affirmation were more inclined to remember a greater number of hedonic attributes.
- Hybrid organizations as legitimate drivers of sustainable evelopmentPublication . Ribeiro, Manuel Maria de Passos; Fontoura, YunaThe growing global challenges of today demand urgent, collective and coordinated solutions and organizations that are able to put in place practices that enable societal value creation in a quest for sustainable development instead of prioritizing profit maximization and shareholder value. As a result, hybrid organizations have acquired growing attention from management literature as a progressive organizational form able to redefine the role of business and contribute to the improvement of the societal conditions faced by their stakeholders, while remaining financially viable. Yet, hybrids challenge conventional ideas of business and institutionalized norms, which results in skepticism around their potential and leads to the need for legitimacy building. This thesis aims at studying the ways in which hybrid organizations can become legitimate drivers of sustainable development. Hence, thirteen semi-structured interviews, to both scholars and BCorporations/Social Enterprises professionals were conducted. A coding approach to content analysis revealed common patterns and perceptions that once interpreted led to the offer of four theoretical propositions that further explain the crucial areas and practices which hybrids have to safeguard so to be deemed legitimate by society and their directly impacted stakeholders. This study closes with the discussion on hybrids’ role as enablers of development in the organizational and social paradigm and recognizes the importance of their success in the legitimacy attributed to the concept.
- Go-to market strategy for satellite creative housePublication . Eifert, Maja Lydia; Lino, Rute Sofia Barbosa XavierVolatile markets, fast-changing customer needs, increasing competitive pressure, and a worldwide pandemic – times are hard for companies to be competitive.

- The social attitude : behavior gap among swiss millennials : the fairtrade Max Havelaar casePublication . Egli, Yannic; Brioschi, AriannaPublic interest in sustainability has been steadily increasing and consumers mainly hold favorable attitudes toward this idea; however, these are not univocally reflected in purchase behaviors. There exists an attitude-behavior gap. While existing research mainly investigated this gap within the field of environmental sustainability, this research explores the concept from a different angle: the social dimension of sustainability. Fairtrade Max Havelaar, an established Swiss non-profit organization, is taken as a reference example to visualize the concept of social sustainability respectively social consumerism. Further, the sustainability conscious cohort Generation Y is the target segment of this research. In essence, the present thesis studies the social attitude-behavior gap among Swiss Millennials based on the example of Fairtrade Max Havelaar. The leading objective of this empirical research is to investigate the relationship between social attitude and social purchase behavior and how it is impacted by various influencing factors. The results prove the existence of a statistically significant gap between the two variables with the four factors perceived personal importance, habits, trust and awareness being significant mediators. Based on these insights, organizations operating in the field of social sustainability should be aware of a potential attitude-behavior gap. The findings imply that this gap may be decreased through raising the perceived personal importance, trust, awareness and the willingness to switch products (habits). That is assuming communication has already been adapted to today’s sustainability-shaped world and to the target segment. Suggestions on how to effectively communicate sustainability-related topics and reach Gen Y are provided.
