Abstract(s)
A situação de menores migrantes e refugidos tem ganho crescente destaque a nível mundial. A literatura sublinha a necessidade de desenvolver intervenções mais adaptadas a esta população, de forma a promover a sua saúde mental e bem-estar. Neste contexto, surge o projeto Waves in You, uma iniciativa de surf therapy direcionada a jovens migrantes e refugiados, com o objetivo de promover o seu bem-estar psicológico e inclusão social. O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo avaliar o impacto desta intervenção junto da segunda vaga de participantes, procurando identificar as suas potencialidades e limitações. A investigação seguiu uma abordagem qualitativa, explorando as perceções da equipa técnica e voluntários envolvidos no programa. A recolha dos dados foi efetuada com recurso a entrevistas semiestruturadas, submetidas a uma análise temática. Os resultados sugerem melhorias significativas nas competências socioemocionais e nos comportamentos pró-sociais nos jovens, evidenciando ainda benefícios para os profissionais envolvidos. Foram identificadas barreiras logísticas e linguísticas com potencial impacto na adesão continuada ao programa. Concluiu-se que a surf therapy constitui uma estratégia promissora, acessível e não estigmatizante de promoção de saúde mental em populações vulneráveis. Este estudo serviu também para colmatar a escassez de investigações nesta área e propõe direções para futuras intervenções.
The situation of migrant and refugee minors has gained increasing attention worldwide. The literature highlights the need to develop interventions better adapted to this population, in order to promote their mental health and well-being. In this context, the Waves in You project emerged as a surf therapy initiative aimed at young migrants and refugees, with the goal of promoting their psychological well-being and social inclusion. The main objective of the present study is to assess the impact of this intervention on the second wave of participants, seeking to identify its potentialities and limitations. The research followed a qualitative approach, exploring the perceptions of the technical team and volunteers involved in the programme. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, which were subjected to thematic analysis. The results suggest significant improvements in the young participants’ socio-emotional skills and pro-social behaviours, while also highlighting benefits for the professionals involved. Logistical and linguistic barriers were identified, with potential impact on continued adherence to the programme. It was concluded that surf therapy represents a promising, accessible and non-stigmatizing strategy for promoting mental health in vulnerable populations. This study also aimed to address the lack of research in this area and proposes directions for future interventions.
