Abstract(s)
O presente estudo está integrado no projeto “Expanding Mental Health Literacy” e teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento da versão preliminar dos itens de um novo questionário para avaliar os níveis de literacia em saúde mental de cuidadores formais de pessoas idosas, considerando as necessidades de saúde mental destes profissionais. O estudo foi desenvolvido ao longo de três fases: 1) revisão de literatura, 2) geração de itens e 3) reflexão falada. A revisão da literatura permitiu identificar os problemas de saúde mental mais associados à prestação de cuidados formais a pessoas idosas, as principais dimensões do construto de literacia em saúde mental em adultos, bem como exemplos de itens para avaliação deste construto. A geração de itens a partir da revisão da literatura, seguiu a matriz conceptual desenvolvida entre as dimensões da LSM e os principais problemas de saúde mental associados à prestação de cuidados formais a pessoas idosas. Neste processo, realizaram-se reuniões de brainstorming e consulta de especialistas. A última fase consistiu na reflexão falada dos itens gerados, com cinco cuidadores formais de pessoas idosas. Esta fase permitiu avaliar a compreensão dos itens, conduzindo a reformulações em alguns e ao desenvolvimento de novos itens. O principal resultado deste estudo foi o desenvolvimento de 113 itens que constituirão a versão experimental do LSMq CFI – secção cuidador.
This study is part of the “Expanding Mental Health Literacy” project, and it aimed to develop a preliminary version of the items of a new questionnaire to assess mental health literacy in formal caregivers of elderly people, considering the mental health needs of these workers. The study followed three phases: 1) literature review, 2) item generation and 3) think aloud procedure. The literature review identified the mental health problems most associated with the provision of formal care to older people, the main dimensions of the adult mental health literacy construct, as well as examples of items to assess this construct. The generation of items followed the conceptual matrix drawn between the dimensions of the LSM and the main mental health problems associated with the provision of formal care to elderly people, using brainstorming meetings and expert review. The last phase consisted of a think aloud procedure with five formal caregivers of elderly people, which allowed to assess item comprehension, resulting in the reformulation of some items and the development of new items. The main result of this study was the development of 113 items that will integrate the LSMq CFI– caregiver section.
