  • Uso de um jogo de tabuleiro na reabilitação dos membros superiores de idosos institucionalizados em Portugal: um estudo piloto quase-experimental
    Publication . Rosa, Marlene Neves; Gordo, Sara; Pocinho, Ricardo; Marinho, Raquel
    INTRODUÇÃO: A utilização do jogo como estratégia de reabilitação tem revelado um especial impacto nas variáveis cognitivas no idoso, não sendo consensual o seu impacto em indicadores físicos. OBJETIVO: Medir o efeito do treino com um jogo de tabuleiro na melhoria da coordenação dos membros superiores e na força de preensão palmar em idosos institucionalizados. Foi também caracterizada a percepção dos idosos sobre o jogo como estratégia de reabilitação. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi conduzido um estudo quase-experimental, longitudinal, incluindo 10 idosos institucionalizados sem alterações significativas na cognição (6CIT 0-7) e na mobilidade dos membros superiores. Este grupo foi inicialmente avaliado (T0) quanto à Força de preensão manual (FPM) e quanto à coordenação dos membros superiores (Bateria de testes EUROFIT), repetindo a avaliação após 2 semanas de terapias convencionais (T1), tendo sido novamente reavaliados 2 semanas após frequentarem as terapias convencionais mais 2 horas adicionais de um programa com um jogo de tabuleiro (T2). Foi ainda coletada a perceção dos idosos sobre a experiência com o jogo. Foi comparada a evolução entre T0-T1 e T1-T2 usando o teste de Wilcoxon. RESULTADOS: Apenas entre T1 e T2 ocorreram mudanças significativas na EUROFIT (p=0.005) e na FPM para ambos os membros (p=0.005; p= 0.007). Os idosos destacaram uma maior relevância do jogo no trabalho em equipe, no estímulo de raciocínio e de agilidade dos membros superiores. CONCLUSÃO: O jogo de tabuleiro é uma potencial ferramenta para completar a terapia convencional, sendo a experiência considerada muito positiva pelos idosos participantes (ClinicalTrials.gov IDIPL10062019).
  • Exploring the relationship between socioemotional skills and decision-making styles in health students
    Publication . Silva, Cândida G.; Gordo, Sara; Rodrigues, Ana Cristina; Henriques, Carolina; Rosa, Marlene
    Higher education in health study programs is particularly focused on the development of technical skills, despite there being a consensus on the importance of training students regarding socioemotional and life skills. The aim of this study was to characterize and explore correlations between socioemotional skills and decision-making styles in undergraduate health students. Undergraduate students (18–25 years old) were recruited at a School of Health Sciences in Portugal. Participants were characterized in terms of sociodemographic data, socioemotional skills (Study on Social and Emotional Skills questionnaire) and decisionmaking styles (Melbourne Decision Making questionnaire). Descriptive statistics and correlations between questionnaires´ subscales were calculated. Students presented higher scores in tolerance (34.8±3.4), cooperation (34.7±2.4), empathy (31.1±3.2), vigilance (16.0±1.9), and procrastination (9.9±2.1). Assertiveness presented negative correlations with buck-passing (rho=-0.43, p<0.01) and procrastination (rho=-0.38, p<0.01) and positive correlation with vigilance (rho=0.22, p=0.03). Students demonstrated higher values in empathy, cooperation, and tolerance skills, meaning they tend to be kind and care for others’ well-being. Vigilance style is related to assertiveness characterizing hard working leaders able to pay attention to others’ needs. Training that involves socioemotional skills might be crucial for the style of decision-making in future health professionals.

  • Critical thinking, empathy and problem solving using a modern board game: A learning experience valued by physical therapy students
    Publication . Rosa, Marlene; Gordo, Sara M. O.; Sousa, Micael S.; Pocinho, Ricardo
    This study aimed at understanding how physical therapy students recognize a modern board game experience as an opportunity to train socioemotional skills. Thirteen physical therapy students participated in a learning experience using the Magic Maze board game and were assessed in terms of critical thinking, empathy, and problem-solving perceived experience. The facilitator’s perceptions were also registered. Students showed to be goal oriented focusing on choosing different solutions and reflecting critically on the most suitable one. Magic Maze was classified as a relevant learning method for other serious purposes.
  • A narrative exploratory study on the perspectives about physical exercise practise in a sample of Portuguese elderly
    Publication . Rosa, Marlene; Antunes, Raúl; Marques, Pedro; Coelho, Rúben; Mendes, Patrícia; Frontini, Roberta
    The overall prevalence of inactivity among individuals aged 55 or older in Portugal is the highest in Europe therefore it’s important to develop effective strategies to increase adherence to structured exercise programs by older adults (Picorelli et al., 2014a). The purpose of this paper is to characterise different perspectives on barriers and facilitators to the practise of physical exercise in a sample of the Portuguese elderly. Two groups of enrolled and non-enrolled in a community exercise program were recruited. Each group had 6 participants that were included in the study if they were ≥ 60 years of age. Two focus groups were conducted via Zoom and lasted ≤ 60 min. Participants were asked about five domains regarding physical exercise. Data analysis occurred in three phases by 2 trained and experienced examiners. While the enrolled group highlighted benefits (n = 6) and facilitators (n = 6), and shared strategies to overcome some barriers (n = 2) the non-enrolled group focused on the barriers (n = 6) instead and shared more excuses to justify their non-practice of physical exercise (n = 3). To overcome the barriers considered by the participants in the non-enrolled group, some education strategies focused on physical literacy might be crucial. The high number of barriers felt by the less active older people makes it more complicated for them to adopt and maintain an exercise program. Narratives-based methodologies are interesting methodologies to collect patient-centred perspectives about exercise practise and therefore design adequate programs.
