- Psychometric properties of the revised illness perception questionnaire for people with alcohol use disorder in PortugalPublication . Laranjeira, Carlos; Querido, Ana; Valentim, OlgaThe revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) is an instrument used to evaluate illness perceptions. The IPQ-R uses components of Leventhal’s self-regulatory model of illness representation. It has been used broadly in different contexts and cultures, presenting variable psychometric properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Portuguese version of the IPQ-R in patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Methods: Methodological study. The sample consisted of 304 inpatients with AUD. Data collection took place from February 2018 to January 2019. The validity and reliability of the instrument were evaluated using exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results: Cronbach’s α values were consistently higher than 0.57. Factor analysis of the IPQ-R items revealed that the Portuguese version reflects the original structure. The seven-factor construct explained 68.56% of the total variance. Conclusion: The IPQ-R showed statistically satisfactory levels of reliability and validity. In psychiatric and mental health nursing, the use of the IPQ-R can be suggested for planning personalized care, which involves recognizing and addressing illness perceptions among people with AUD. Further work is needed to develop the confirmatory factor analysis of the IPQ-R.
- Mental Health and Psychological Impact during COVID-19 Pandemic: An Online Survey of Portuguese Higher Education StudentsPublication . Laranjeira, Carlos; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos; Valentim, Olga; Charepe, Zaida; Querido, AnaThe COVID-19 pandemic has had significant psychological impact on vulnerable groups, particularly students. The present study aims to investigate the mental and psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated factors in a sample of Portuguese higher education students. An online cross-sectional study was conducted among 1522 higher education students selected by convenience sampling. The survey assessed mental health symptoms as well as sociodemographic variables, health-related perceptions, and psychological factors. Results were fitted to binary and multivariable logistic regression models. The overall prevalences of stress, anxiety, and depression were 35.7%, 36.2%, and 28.5%, respectively. Poor mental health outcomes were related with being female, having no children, living with someone with chronic disease, facing hopelessness, and lacking resilient coping. Future studies focusing on better ways to promote mental health and wellbeing among students are warranted. It is necessary to gather more evidence on the postpandemic mental health using robust study designs and standardized assessment tools.

- Evidence-based practice a relevant piece to update knowledge in mental health nursingPublication . Laranjeira, C.; Querido, A.; Valentim, O.Introduction Web Journal Club as a collaborative learning method, is an effective method to enhance the knowledge base of nursing students, their presentation skills, problem-solving skills and ability to critically appraise literature. Objectives To describe the experience of a online journal club on education of MHN undergraduate students. Methods We implemented a journal club in the online classroom with a total of 24 portuguese undergraduate students enrolled in clinical training of MHN (sixth semester). Over a two-week period, five 2-hour online journal club sessions were conducted in April 2020. During each session, five journal articles were presented synchronously to a live online audience via the Zoom Classroom technology. After all sessions, students were invited by e-mail to complete an anonymous and voluntary online questionnaire via Google Forms. Results All students were all very positive about the journal club sessions and found the opportunity to discuss and reflect on practice issues in depth very helpful. They found the sessions supportive, they helped to bond the group, they learnt a great deal from each others experiences, and they felt that they gained in confidence as a group. Survey results also indicated that few participants experienced technical difficulties during sessions. Conclusions This pedagogical practice enhances gains in the various actors involved: 1) in students, contributing to their learning process and acquisition of competences, articulating research and clinical practice; and 2) lastly, even more indirectly, in people receiving care, since a evidence-based practice ensures safe and quality of nursing care delivery.

- Consumo de álcool e vulnerabilidade em saúde das pessoas em situação de sem-abrigoPublication . Valentim, Olga; Moutinho, Lidia; Pinho, Lara; Firmino, Cristiana; Tomás, Catarina; Querido, AnaContexto: Em Portugal, 45% das Pessoas em Situação de Sem-Abrigo (PSSA) estão a viver na rua, na área metropolitana de Lisboa. Esta população apresenta vulnerabilidades de ordem económica, social e física. No que se refere ao seu estado de saúde, salienta-se o consumo de substâncias, problemas músculo-esqueléticos, respiratórios, cardiovasculares e psiquiátricos. As consequências da Perturbação de Uso de Álcool (PUA) refletem-se a nível socioeconómico e da saúde, pelo que se torna relevante conhecer essa problemática nas PSSA. Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil sociodemográfico, a perceção de saúde e o consumo de álcool entre a população em situação de sem-abrigo na área metropolitana de Lisboa. Métodos: Estudo transversal, descritivo e correlacional. Os instrumentos utilizados foram um questionário com a caracterização sociodemográfica e de saúde construído pelos autores e o CAGE. A recolha de dados foi realizada na cidade de Lisboa em março de 2018. A análise de dados foi realizada com o SPSS 25. Resultados: A amostra é constituída por 199 participantes de ambos os sexos. 49,2% apresenta PUA, 56,8% fuma diariamente tabaco e o consumo de drogas foi referido ao longo da vida por 52,8% dos participantes. Foram encontradas correlações estatisticamente significativas entre o consumo de tabaco, de bebidas alcoólicas e de drogas ilícitas. Conclusões: A intervenção com PSSA, deve basear-se numa visão holística da pessoa e do meio em que se insere, na Redução de Riscos e Minimização de Danos e/ou interrupção dos consumos de álcool. As necessidades em cuidados de saúde mostram a importância da inclusão do enfermeiro nas equipas multidisciplinares que apoiam esta população.
