Resumo(s)
A adolescência constitui uma fase crítica do desenvolvimento humano, caracterizada por várias mudanças e com início de comportamentos de saúde que perduram até à idade adulta. Entre adolescentes com perturbações psiquiátricas, este período é ainda mais desafiante, apresentando habitualmente dificuldades ao nível das competências socioemocionais, literacia em saúde e literacia em saúde mental, essenciais para o bemestar. O programa #EntreViagenseAprendizagens visa a promoção do bem-estar, estilos de vida saudáveis e competências socioemocionais em adolescentes em contexto escolar. Neste estudo, com desenho misto, procedeu-se à adaptação, implementação e avaliação do programa no contexto da Unidade Psiquiátrica Integrada para Adolescentes (UPIA). Inicialmente, foram entrevistadas três profissionais da UPIA com o objetivo de identificar necessidades específicas dos pacientes integrados no Hospital de Dia da UPIA, que foram consideradas na adaptação do programa. Posteriormente, procedeu-se à avaliação do seu impacto junto de sete adolescentes (16-20 anos), com recurso a questionários sobre bemestar, regulação emocional, ansiedade e depressão, literacia em saúde mental, empatia, e hábitos de vida, aplicados antes e após a intervenção, bem como a um questionário de satisfação com o programa e questões associadas ao processo de implementação. Os testes de comparação de resultados pré e pós intervenção mostram melhorias estatisticamente significativas nas dificuldades de regulação emocional (score total e subescalas Estratégias e Não Aceitação). Verificaram-se ainda tendências de melhoria em variáveis como ansiedade e regulação de impulsos, embora não atingindo significância estatística. No bem-estar, empatia, depressão e literacia em saúde mental não se verificaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas, apesar de alguns participantes evidenciarem mudanças individuais relevantes. Relativamente a hábitos de vida, observou-se melhorias em alguns hábitos alimentares (e.g., consumo de doces), e tendências positivas na atividade física e sono. Os participantes revelaram elevada satisfação com o programa, destacando a interação grupal, relaxamento e educação em saúde mental. Estes resultados sugerem que a intervenção tem potencial para promover o funcionamento emocional e social de adolescentes com perturbações psiquiátricas, sendo relevante continuar a investigar o impacto de intervenções grupais em populações mais vulneráveis, com amostras maiores e grupos de controlo para permitir avaliações mais rigorosas.
Adolescence is a critical stage of human development, marked by multiple changes and the onset of health behaviors that often persist into adulthood. Among adolescents with psychiatric disorders, this period is even more challenging, as they typically present difficulties in socioemotional skills, health literacy, and mental health literacy, key components for well-being. The program #EntreViagenseAprendizagens aims to promote well-being, healthy lifestyles, and socioemotional skills in school settings. In this mixedmethods study, the program was adapted, implemented, and evaluated in the context of the Integrated Psychiatric Unit for Adolescents (UPIA). Initially, three UPIA professionals were interviewed to identify specific needs of patients attending the UPIA Day Hospital, which were considered in the program’s adaptation. Subsequently, its impact was assessed with seven adolescents (16–20 years), using questionnaires on wellbeing, emotion regulation, anxiety and depression, mental health literacy, empathy, and lifestyle habits, administered before and after the intervention, along with a program satisfaction survey and implementation-related questions. Pre and post intervention comparisons showed statistically significant improvements in emotion regulation difficulties (total score and the subscales Strategies and Non-Acceptance). Trends toward improvement were also observed in variables such as anxiety and impulse regulation, though without reaching statistical significance. No significant differences were found in well-being, empathy, depression, or mental health literacy, although some participants showed meaningful individual changes. Regarding lifestyle habits, improvements were noted in certain eating behaviors (e.g., sweets consumption), with positive trends in physical activity and sleep. Participants reported high satisfaction with the program, highlighting group interaction, relaxation, and mental health education. These findings suggest that the intervention has potential to promote emotional and social functioning in adolescents with psychiatric disorders. Further research with larger samples and control groups is needed to enable more robust evaluations of group interventions in vulnerable populations.
