- Psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic among portuguese and swiss higher-education students: protocol for a mixed methods studyPublication . Querido, Ana; Aissaoui, Djamel; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos; Schwander-Maire, Françoise; Cara-Nova, Tanya; Charepe, Zaida; Laranjeira, CarlosBackground: Higher-education students are particularly vulnerable to both everyday stressors and mental health problems. Public health emergencies may generate a range of unforeseen potential stressors for vulnerable individuals and communities. The current pandemic has apparently led to an increase in psychiatric symptoms among these students. Objective: The goal of this study is to characterize the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among Portuguese and Swiss higher-education students. Methods: This project will use a mixed methods sequential explanatory design in Portugal and Switzerland, with two consecutive phases. During Phase I, a quantitative study will assess the psychological responses of higher-education students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A convenience sampling method will be used for collecting information from students. The association between variables will be determined with univariable and multivariable analyses. During Phase II, qualitative data will be collected in order to understand the determinants of psychological stress and the strategies adopted by students as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to identify their opinions and feelings about the teaching-learning process during quarantine. In this phase, participants will be selected using a maximum-variation sampling method. Data from focus group discussions will be coded and inductively analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Finally, quantitative and qualitative results will be merged during interpretation to provide complementary perspectives. Results: This paper describes and discusses the protocol for this mixed methods study, which will be completed in December 2021. This study was formally approved by the local ethics committee (CE/IPLEIRIA/22/2020) in Portugal and authorized by the Swiss Association of Research Ethics Committees, swissethics (CER-VD-2020-02889). Conclusions: This research can contribute to the development of teaching tools and methods that reinforce positive mental health strategies, hope, and adaptive coping among students, and to the development of a class on mental health interventions in the context of catastrophic and traumatic events. This project will also help government stakeholders as well as health and education professionals safeguard the psychological well-being of students facing an expanding COVID-19 pandemic.

- Promover a esperança em pais de crianças com doença crónica: modelo de intervenção em ajuda mútuaPublication . Charepe, Zaida BorgesO tema central da obra é a exposição, nas suas diferentes vertentes, do Modelo de Intervenção em Grupos de Ajuda Mútua construído a partir das experiências de esperança dos pais de crianças com doença crónica, e dos fatores que influenciaram a dimensão da esperança, quando os intervenientes do estudo usufruíram de atividades desenvolvidas pelos grupos de ajuda mútua. O que vem ampliar, o potencial dos grupos de ajuda mútua, enquanto estruturas de suporte ajustadas às necessidades dos pais de crianças com doença crónica. Pelo que o desenvolvimento de intervenções que visem a promoção de esperança, como conceito mensurável na intervenção, propiciará a definição do papel do técnico enquanto facilitador, pelo reconhecimento da importância das práticas colaborativas nestes domínios assistenciais, distribuídas de modo compreensível e claro nos diferentes capítulos. Todos os capítulos para além da fundamentação teórica necessária para a sua compreensão, estão recheados de exemplos práticos de modo a facilitar o trabalho dos técnicos e a aprendizagem pelos pais.
- Adaptation and validation of the instrument "Children Care Quality at Hospital" for portuguesePublication . Loureiro, Fernanda Manuela; Araujo, Beatriz Rodrigues; Charepe, Zaida BorgesObjective: adapt and validate the instrument Children Care Quality at Hospital (CCQH) to assess the quality of nursing care of hospitalized children for the Portuguese language of Portugal. Materials and Methods: content, language, and conceptual validity methodological study, with translation, feedback, and reflection. A non-probabilistic simple was used of 252 children between 7 and 11 years of age, hospitalized due to acute disease in nine services of six Portuguese hospitals. The reliability and validity of the results were determinedm to measure the psychometric properties of the instrument. Construct validity was calculated through exploratory factor analysis of main components with Varimax rotation and the internal consistency by determining the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results: the internal consistency has adequate psychometric characteristics suitable for the Portuguese population (Cronbach’s alpha values between 0.66 and 0.82). The instrument maintained 49 items grouped into three categories: characteristics, activities, and environment. The psychometric characteristics of the CCQH, adapted and validated for Portuguese, guarantees its reliability and validity to measure satisfaction with the quality of nursing care from the perspective of school-aged children. Conclusions: the instrument could be used to assess children’s satisfaction with the quality of nursing care during their hospitalization
- Palliative care research: using the delphi methodPublication . Afonso, Tânia dos Santos; Martins, Lurdes; Capelas, Manuel Luís; Charepe, ZaidaIntroduction: Due to the challenges that are increasingly complex in palliative care, the need to develop community health care raises. Aim: Understand the application of the Delphi method for research in palliative care. Materials and Methods: Started an integrative literature review using research on EBSCO host database. Results: The primary purpose of the eight articles selected is to create indicators for health evaluation. The Delphi method used in all the studies has in common, besides the intention to create new data in health care practice, the use to manage a high number of data from geographically distant points. Conclusion: Our literature research allowed us to conclude that there are still few studies using the Delphi method in palliative care. This instrument has excellent utility in the systematization, organization and evaluation of the contexts and care practices. We reinforce the importance of developing this resource in this context.

- Mental health in time of pandemics: study protocol to incorporate risk and protective factors contributing to psychological stress among portuguese and swiss higher education studentsPublication . Laranjeira, C.; Querido, A.; Valentim, O.; Charepe, Z.; Dixe, M.Introduction: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is inducing fear, and a timely understanding of mental health status is urgently needed for society. Previous research has revealed a profound and wide range of psychosocial impacts on people at the individual, community, and international levels. On an individual level, people are likely to experience fear of falling sick or dying themselves, feelings of helplessness, and stigma. Currently, there is little understanding of mental well-being assessment under scenarios of pandemics that oblige to social isolation and quarantine. Objectives: This study aims to: a) establish the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms; b) identify risk and protective factors contributing to psychological stress; and c) identify coping strategies to promote better adjustment during and after the pandemic crisis. Methods: We will adopt a mixed-method approach, firstly with a cross-sectional survey design (in both Portugal and Swiss context) to assess the higher education student’s psychosocial response during and after the pandemic, by using an anonymous online questionnaire. In a 2nd phase, and in order to gain more insight into the psychological stress faced by the students as a result of pandemic, a qualitative approach was chosen, focusing on the experiences of the participants. Results: This study has received ethical approval from both international and local institutional review boards. Data collection will start in November 2020 and will be completed at February 2021. Conclusion: The findings of this study will provide important data to assist government agencies and healthcare professionals in safeguarding the psychosocial wellbeing of the community in the face of COVID-19 outbreak expansion.
