Orientador: Raul Aragão Martins / Resumo: O consumo abusivo de álcool é considerado um problema de saúde pública, sendo a terceira causa de absenteísmo no trabalho e a oitava causa para a concessão de auxílio-doença pela Previdência Social no Brasil. A performance do trabalhador e o ambiente de trabalho são afetados pelas consequências do uso abusivo do álcool, causando queda de produtividade e qualidade no trabalho, bem como ausências no período de sua jornada; mudanças de hábitos pessoais, relacionamento ruim com os colegas, acidentes de trabalho, entre outras vulnerabilidades. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar o padrão de uso do álcool em trabalhadores e posteriormente realizar uma aplicação de Intervenção Breve (IB) nos que apresentarem padrão de beber excessivo, visando o retorno à abstinência ou pelo menos à moderação. A pesquisa foi exploratória, descritiva e quase-experimental, realizada em quatro etapas: levantamento inicial, entrevista, intervenção breve e seguimento. Na primeira etapa, participaram 230 trabalhadores e foi utilizado na coleta de dados o questionário autoaplicado composto de dados sociodemográficos e o Alcohol Use Disorders Identification (AUDIT). Atingiram a pontuação de oito ou mais no AUDIT 34% dos trabalhadores e foram classificados como positivos, pois apresentaram uso de risco ou nocivo ou dependente do álcool. Quanto aos 71 trabalhadores classificados como positivos, na segunda etapa, foram investigadas informações do seu padrão do beber através do Perfil Breve Bebedor (PBB)...

The worker performance and the work environment are affected by the consequences of alcohol abuse, causing a decrease in productivity, decline in quality of work, absences from work, changes in personal habits, bad working relationship, work accident, among other vulnerabilities. The objective of this research was to identify the pattern of alcohol consumption in workers and then apply the Brief Intervention (BI) in those who presented a pattern of excessive drinking, aiming withdrawal or at least a decrease in consumption. This research was exploratory, descriptive, quasi-experimental, and carried out in 4 stages: initial screening, interview, Brief Intervention (BI), and follow-up sessions. Two hundred and thirty workers took part in the first stage and the data collection was obtained by selfreport questionnaires, with sociodemographic data, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification (AUDIT). Thirty four percent of workers reached an AUDIT score of eight or higher and were classified as positive, as they were either at risk or under harmful use or dependent on alcohol. As for the 71 workers classified as positive in the second stage, information on their drinking pattern was investigated through the Brief Drinker Profile (BDP) modified and applied to the Alcohol Dependence Scale - AD...

This phenomenological study examined the experiences and perceptions of child-centered play therapists who deliver shortened sessions in the clinic setting. Using the phenomenological analysis procedures based on Moustakas' modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method, a coding team of three doctoral students found 10 themes related to child-centered play therapists' (N = 5) experiences delivering shortened session lengths. Each theme is defined and further described using verbatim transcript examples. This study has practical and clinical implications for child-centered play therapist development and training. The results of this study point to the need for further research in child-centered play therapists' experiences delivering play therapy-as-usual. Finally, future research regarding the change process in child-centered play therapy theory is also implicated.

Primärvården står i dagsläget inför utmaningar gällande omhändertagandet av psykisk ohälsa. Integrerad beteendehälsa (IBH) är en organisatorisk modell med potential att underlätta för hur evidensbaserad psykologisk behandling kan bedrivas i en primärvårdskontext. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att utvärdera en sedvanlig IBH-vårdmodell, kontextuell bedömning följt av fokuserade insatser, med en utökad bedömningsprocedur följt av valet att inleda fokuserade insatser eller vägledd självhjälp, samt de två behandlingsuppläggen fokuserade insatser (oavsett bedömningsförfarande) och vägledd självhjälp efter utökad bedömning. Effekter på vardaglig funktionsnivå, betydelsen av antal behandlingskontakter samt den kontinuerliga upplevelsen av problemets svårighetsgrad, tilltro till den egna förmågan att förändras och besökens hjälpsamhet undersöktes. 69 primärvårdspatienter randomiserades mellan de två vårdmodellerna. Resultaten indikerade på en signifikant förbättring i vardaglig funktionsnivå för samtliga patienter oavsett vårdmodell och behandlingsupplägg. Inget samband mellan antal sessioner och förbättring upptäcktes. Skillnader i utfall och patienternas kontinuerliga upplevelser av behandlingsinterventionerna diskuteras. / The primary healthcare system faces challenges concerning the treatment of mental health. Integrated behavioral health (IBH) is an organizational model with the potential to implement evidence-based psychological treatment in a primary care setting. The aim of this study was to compare a standard IBH treatment model, contextual assessment followed by brief interventions, with an extended assessment procedure followed by brief interventions or guided self-help, as well as the two different treatment plans brief interventions (regardless of assessment procedure) and guided self-help post an extended assessment procedure. Effects on everyday functioning and correlations between number of sessions and treatment effect are evaluated along with the continuous patient experience regarding the severity of the problem, confidence in ability to change and session helpfulness. 69 primary care patients were randomized between the two treatment models. The results indicated a significant improvement in everyday functioning regardless of treatment model or treatment plan. No significant correlation between number of sessions and improvement was found. Differences in treatment outcome and patient experience are discussed.

Although clinical hypnosis has been studied in a variety of ways, most of the research has focused on individual and evidence-based approaches; few have examined relational or systemic models. Influenced by Milton Erickson’s hypnosis methods and Gregory Bateson’s systemic concepts, relational hypnotherapists value the importance of both the intra- and interpersonal context in the treatment of problems, accentuating the significance of the mind and body connection (or relationship) in inviting non-volitional therapeutic change. The author of this research explored how Douglas Flemons, the developer of relational hypnosis, facilitated an enduring non-volitional shift with a client, “Grace,” who desired to have a baby but could not see or talk about blood, needles, or medical procedures without fainting. Using context-enriched conversation analysis (CECA), the author embraced his theoretical understanding of relational hypnosis as a guide to examine multiple sources of data, which included selected audio-recorded excerpts from Douglas and Grace’s hypnotherapeutic sessions; Grace’s descriptions of change in her email correspondence with Douglas; and Douglas’s case notes. Although there were a total of eight sessions, the author’s analysis revealed that the most influential and significant moments occurred during the first two sessions. Douglas’s initial interventions, or as he would say, intraventions, laid the foundation for a shift in Grace’s identity, which helped her embrace a variety of resourceful skills and attributes to overcome her problem. The author also discussed the clinical and research implications for relational hypnosis, brief and family therapy, and psychotherapy in general.

I nuläget finns det mycket begränsad kunskap kring avslut i psykologisk behandling. Olika terapiinriktningar läggerolika fokus och tyngd vid slutskedet av terapin. Inom relationell terapi anses avslutet vara en för dyaden betydandedel av terapin. I denna kvalitativa uppsats har reflexiv tematisk analys använts för att studera interaktioner ochskeenden under det avslutande samtalet i en 16-sessions BRT ur forskningsprojektet LURIPP. Videofilmer från sexolika dyader har analyserats med en inledningsvis induktiv ansats. I formuleringen av de tre teman som framkom uranalysen användes relationella termer och modeller. De slutgiltiga temana benämns relation, ovilja och framåt. Varjeenskilt tema innehåller olika aspekter som presenteras och sedan diskuteras. Förslag på vidare forskning ges.

Die Überlebenschancen bei Krebserkrankungen im Kindesalter haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehn-ten durch weiterentwickelte Behandlungsmöglichkeiten stark verbessert. Bei den Überlebenden einer Krebserkrankung kommen nach Abschluss der Krebstherapie allerdings gehäuft psychische Belastungssymptome vor. Aus aktueller Forschung ist bekannt, dass das Gesundheitsverhalten und die psychische Gesundheit nicht nur von medizinischen Faktoren abhängen, sondern auch abhängig von der individuellen Wahrnehmung und Einschätzung der eigenen Erkrankung sind. Diese sogenannten subjektiven Krankheitsannahmen hängen signifikant mit Ängsten, Depressio-nen und der Lebensqualität der Patient:innen zusammen. Die Veränderung negativer subjektiver Krankheitsannahmen durch psychologische Interventionen könnte zu einer Verbesserung psychi-scher Symptomatik führen. Für Erwachsene gibt es bereits verschiedene publizierte manualisierte therapeutische Interventionen zur Veränderung negativer Krankheitsannahmen. Für Patient:innen im Kindesalter existieren dagegen noch keine derartigen Interventionen. In meiner Dissertation entwickle ich eine spielerische handpuppenbasierte Kurzintervention zur Veränderung negativer Krankheitsannahmen für krebskranke Kinder im Alter von 5-10 Jahren. Um Inhalte einer solchen Intervention zu identifizieren, wurden in einem ersten Schritt n=19 Ex-pert:innen in einer Delphi-Befragung um ihre Einschätzungen zu verschiedenen Fallbeispielen ge-beten. Die befragten Expert:innen sind Sozialarbeiter:innen, Psycholog:innen, Psychothera-peut:innen, Sozialpädagog:innen, Kunsttherapeut:innen, Musiktherapeut:innen, Sportthera-peut:innen und Erzieher:innen, welche in der ambulanten und stationären psychosozialen Versor-gung von Kindern mit Krebserkrankungen tätig sind. Die so erhaltenen Interventionsideen werden derzeit ausgewertet und zusammengefasst. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die Expert:innen nochmals befragt und sollen die Umsetzbarkeit und Sinnhaftigkeit der Interventionsideen ein-schätzen. So soll unter allen Expert:innen ein Konsens gefunden werden, um die spielerische Kurzintervention zur Veränderung negativer Krankheitsannahmen zu entwickeln. Die so entstan-dene manualisierte Intervention soll anschließend mit n=8 Patient:innen pilotiert und auf ihre Machbarkeit hin überprüft werden.:Theoretischer Hintergrund Methoden Ergebnisse Ausblick

[pt] Pacientes com lesões encefálicas adquiridas (LEA) apresentam prejuízos neuropsicológicos e funcionais. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar o perfil neuropsicológico destes pacientes atendidos em um serviço de neurocirurgia de um hospital público do Rio de Janeiro, avaliando as evidências de validade clínica da Bateria Breve de Rastreio Cognitivo (BBRC) no comprometimento cognitivo. Método: Participaram do estudo 30 pacientes submetidos a neurocirurgia de crânio e 30 de de coluna atendidos no ambulatório neurocirúrgico. Todos realizaram a BBRC que mostrou que o grupo crânio apresentou um comprometimento do funcionamento cognitivo global (MEEM- 35), memória incidental e imediata e no desenho do relógio. O resultado inicial mostrou prejuízo em alguns domínios das funções executivas, tais como memória operacional, estratégias de memória episódica e planejamento. A pesquisa sugere que a BBRC pode ser utilizada no contexto hospitalar para pacientes com LEA pós cirúrgicos. / [en] Patients with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) have neuropsychological and functional injuries. The present study aimed to identify the neuropsychological profile of these patients treated at a neurosurgical service of a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro, evaluating the evidence of clinical validity of the Battery Cognitive Screening brief (BCSB) in cognitive injuries. Method: Thirty patients who was submitted to brain s neurosurgery and 30 spinal s neurosurgeries attended at clinic participated in the study. All underwent the BCSB, which showed that the search group had impairment in global cognitive functioning (MMSE-35), memory and in clock drawing test. The initial result showed injuries in the domains of executive functions, such as working memory, episodic memory strategies and planning. Research suggests that BBRC can be used in the hospital setting for post-surgical ABI patients.

Studies have identified perceived racism as one type of social stress that is believed to contribute to hypertension, though no studies to date have examined the relationship between perceived racism and blood pressure among foreign-born Mexicans living in the United States (U.S.). In addition, studies have shown that acculturation may increase levels of perceived discrimination among foreign-born Mexicans living in the U.S. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived racism and ambulatory blood pressure among a convenience sample of 332 foreign-born Mexicans living in Utah County, Utah controlling for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and acculturation. This was done through the use of several multiple regression analyses using archival data collected at Brigham Young University. The Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire—Community Version (Brief PEDQ—CV) was used to measure perceived racism. The Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (ARSMA-II) was used to measure both language and general acculturation. Four blood pressure variables, including waking systolic blood pressure (WSBP), waking diastolic blood pressure (WDBP), sleeping systolic blood pressure (SSBP), and sleeping diastolic blood pressure (SDBP) were used as outcome variables in the regression analyses. A relationship between perceived racism and any of the ambulatory blood pressure variables used in this study was not found. In addition, English-language acculturation was not found to moderate the relationship between perceived racism and blood pressure in the sample of first generation Mexicans participating in this study. A moderating effect of general acculturation on the relationship between perceived racism and blood pressure was found when controlling for age, BMI, and gender, though this moderating effect disappeared when WDBP was included in the regression model. Implications of findings, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

Background: With a shift in psychiatric care where inpatient places have been reduced and the psychiatric care will increasingly take place in outpatient settings, patients are expected to take greater responsibility for their well-being. The difficulty for patients with serious and complex disease may be that they potentially be at risk of being refused admission when they seek help at an early stage. Therefore they might feel compelled to signal deterioration in one's health dramatic and in a destructive way, which can lead to compulsory psychiatric care with sometimes long periods of care. Aim: To explore patients experiences of the method brief admission in psychiatric care. Method: A literature study with 16 articles that were investigated using a qualitative approach and reviewed with thematic analysis. Result: The results are presented in three themes with two associated subthemes. The main finding was that the participants perceived brief admission as safe. The predictability and the increased control before and during hospitalization contributed to the participants becoming more responsible for their mental well-being, they were able to focus on their coping strategies and their recovery and experienced increased health. With increased responsibility, the care relationship changed to the nurse and became more equal. Conclusion: Brief admission increases participation, promotes self-care and changes the care relationship with the nurse. With Orem’s self-care theory, the nurse can promote cooperation with patients and contribute to increased quality of life.
