- Burnout in palliative care: an ethical perspectivePublication . Pereira, S. M.; Fonseca, A. M.; Carvalho, A. S.; Teixeira, C. M.Burnout refers to a loss of energy, which usually happens when the person feels “burned”, either in physical and psychological terms. A burned out person evidences signs of distress in his/her daily behaviour, and it turns to be almost impossible to function normally due to exhaustion. Repeated contact with suffering, dying and death and the need to face ethical challenges and dilemmas due to professional practice in palliative care may be stressful, demanding and a risk factor for burnout. Despite this fact, from a study conducted between September 2008 and July 2009, we realized that burnout levels in Portuguese nurses and physicians who work in palliative care teams were low. One of the main protective factors enounced during interviews and observations was an ethic of care in the relation professionals have with patients, relatives and also between professionals. Aims: (i) to build an ethical perspective of burnout syndrome in palliative care; (ii) to enounce the main ethical dilemmas considered by Portuguese physicians and nurses who work in palliative care; (iii) to reveal the ethic of care as a protective factor for burnout in palliative care; (iv) to consider the ethical principle of responsibility as a demand for burnout prevention. Results: Although burnout is commonly studied by psychologists, it seems clear that it has en ethical perspective in a triple dimension: first, due to its consequences, both for patients and relative as for professionals themselves; second, due to the ethic of care as one of the most relevant protective factors that contribute to avoid burnout; third, due to the ethical demand in order to develop active strategies that prevent burnout, which is simultaneously an individual, team and organizational responsibility. Conclusion: Our results structure an ethical view for burnout syndrome in palliative care, related to its risk and protective factors and also to the active prevention strategies used by palliative care teams.
- The Portuguese adaptation of the NICHD forensic interview protocol: an analysis of some psycholinguistic variablesPublication . Alberto, I.; Ribeiro, C.; Peixoto, C.The implementation of a forensic interview protocol in Portuguese judicial proceedings is an urgent need With that objective in mind we started to adapt the NICDH Forensic Interview Protocol But the adaptation process of this kind of tool is more than a translation, because we have to control psycholinguist variables that emerge So this paper has the intent to highlight some issues than we are confronted with We will focus in the translation of the word “tell, a core component of the cognitive process that is elicited by the neutral question For that we’ll request children to watch a video clip, about they will be asked to tell what happened The study that we are presenting will focus in the quality of information elicited by three different words that could be the Portuguese translation of the word “tell”, and the analysis of differences between them The final outcome is to choose the best term that assures the principles of the NICHD Protocol This adaptation model could be a paradigmatic model for the adaptation of the NICHD Protocol to Latin Languages like Castilian (Spanish) and French.
- University students' perceptions of the impact of service-learning on the final beneficiariesPublication . Ribeiro, Luísa Mota; Miranda, Francisca; Oliveira, Ana; Correia, Maria; Ribeiro, Célia; Peixoto, Ricardo; Dias, Paulo César; Themudo, Carmo; Costa, Helena Gil da; Costa, Joana Cunha e; Silva, Marta; Pona, Rita Paiva eService-learning (SL) is a methodology that contributes to outcomes in students' academic learning, civic participation, and personal growth (Bringle & Clayton, 2021). There are several studies that analyze the impact of SL on university students (e.g., Allen et al., 2021; Fong et al., 2021; Samino García, 2023; Smith et al., 2021). However, research focused on the impact of SL on final beneficiaries is still scarce. The present study aimed to analyze university students’ perceptions regarding the perceived impact of SL experiences on the final beneficiaries. It may be challenging to directly access the final beneficiaries to assess the impact or there might be ethical restrictions on collecting sensitive data from them. We believe that students’ perceptions can provide valuable insights into the perceived impact on the final beneficiaries, considering their direct involvement in the activities and their deeper understanding of the changes and benefits they observe. Moreover, adopting this research approach allow us to give voice to university students, recognizing the significance of their perceptions and interpretations as active and reflective participants. This study involved 58 students from Universidade Católica Portuguesa, mostly female (77.6%) and aged between 19 and 61 years (M = 24.11; SD = 8.55). Students were enrolled in different programs (management, nursing, psychology, and social work) and were involved in 9 different SL projects. Most of the students developed SL projects in elderly care home/day care center, but there were also SL projects in daycare/kindergarten/school, institution that supports vulnerable families, community intervention project, foster home, and institution that supports social reinsertion. Thus, the final beneficiaries of the SL projects included elderly people (mostly), children and/or youth, homeless people, vulnerable families, and people with addiction problems. After the conclusion of the SL projects, students were asked to complete an online questionnaire that included an open-ended item about the impact of the projects on the final beneficiaries (“Analyze how the service developed had an impact on the community/final beneficiaries (group of people addressed by the project)”). Data were analyzed using NVIVO. The results point to a perceived positive impact of the SL projects on the final beneficiaries, in several domains, such as: high satisfaction/enthusiasm, improved quality of life, improved health, higher self-esteem, reintegration into society, development of knowledge (e.g., about managing emotions). The results contribute to understand the perceived impact of the SL methodology on the final beneficiaries, a topic that has been understudied in the literature. Practical implications will be discussed, considering practical guidelines for the design and improvement of future SL projects.

- Visualizing masculinity across ages: social representations of the male body and identityPublication . Silva, Ariane Franco Lopes daBuilding on the theory of social representations (Moscovici, 1961), this study conducts a comparative analysis of young and middle-aged men’s perceptions, beliefs, and shared understandings of the male body. The objective is to explore how these views reflect contemporary notions of masculinity in different age groups and to identify which body features are most likely to convey representations of male identities. The study uses a mixed- method approach, with image selection and drawing production techniques, that intends to identify anchoring and objectivation processes and facilitate the visualization of diverse perspectives of social representations (De Rosa, 2014; Silva et al., 2020; Martikainen & Hakokongas, 2022; Nicholson & Awad, 2024). A total of 112 men from Brazil aged 18 to 50 participated in this study. Group 1 consists of 68 men aged 18 to 25 and Group 2 consists of 44 men aged 26 to 50. In the first section of the study, subjects were presented with a series of figures which were randomly selected from a set of icons gathered from the internet. They were asked to choose the icon they felt was most related to the body and provide comments on their choices. The image selection technique encourages the elaboration of analogies between the body and the icon. The content analysis was used as a qualitative approach to analyse the data, offering an opportunity to code and categorize both visual and textual data, and to identify common themes, and concepts. These were explored as possible indicators of anchoring processes in social representations. In the second section of the study, subjects were asked to produce two drawings in response to the prompts: ‘my current body’ and ‘the ideal body’. An initial analysis produced an inventory of the prevalent physical features, or body patterns. This analysis generated four main categories and eight subcategories describing characteristics of both body types. A comparative analysis followed, examining the differences and similarities between the two body types, and across the two age groups. The results highlight how men of different ages integrate cultural and social norms with their unique life experiences, indicating possible changes in representations as they age. This study adds to the literature on the topic and investigates the role of image production techniques in social representation research.
