Informing future seasonal influenza and Covid-19 vaccination campaigns based on past experience
Background: Seasonal vaccination campaigns against influenza and COVID-19 are critical for protecting vulnerable populations. Scientific evidence on past campaigns is essential for the effectiveness of future campaigns. This study aims to: (1) assess predictors of influenza and COVID-19 vaccination intentions (2) explore perceived barriers and facilitators of 2023-2024 seasonal vaccination campaign. Methods: A cross-sectional study employing both…
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Physiological Response in First Responders During Virtual Reality Exposure
First responders (FRs) are routinely exposed to traumatic events, increasing risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study compared heart rate variability (HRV) and skin conductance level (SCL) between FRs with and without probable PTSD at baseline and during a virtual reality (VR) task. Eighty-four FRs completed questionnaires and physiological assessments. Participants with probable PTSD showed significantly lower baseline HRV, indi…
Enhancing Mindfulness Training in Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback have emerged as promising tools for mindfulness training. However, their combined effectiveness, compared with Traditional Mindfulness formats, remains understudied. This study investigated the short-term effects of a brief mindfulness intervention delivered via VR, with and without biofeedback, on psychological and physiological outcomes. Seventy-two participants (64.7 percent women; aged 18–57 years, M = 24.…
Stress Inoculation in Police Officers Using Virtual Reality
Policing is a highly demanding and stressful profession. Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing stress management programs, including for police officers. The use of VR in combination with biosensors enables measurement of psychophysiological responses such as peripheral temperature (PT) and skin conductance level (SCL). This study investigated the psychophysiological responses of police officers exposed to a VR scenar…
O uso de CAR-T no tratamento de cânceres hematológicos refrátarios e reincidentes
A terapia com células CAR-T para tratamento de doenças oncológicas e hematológicas iniciou-se em meados de 2017, utilizando o direcionamento ao antígeno CD19 e provando a eficácia revelada em estudos clínicos realizados. Atualmente, visa-se identificar em quais patologias este recurso possui benefício, além de identificar toxicidades e efeitos tardios associados
Brief Form of the Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales
Personality theory based on affective neuroscience research suggests the presence of seven affective neurobiological systems. These dimensions have been identified using psychometric instruments such as the Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (ANPS) and its brief version known as the Brief Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (BANPS). Despite being a psychometric valid instrument, the BANPS was not adapted to European Portuguese. This …
Perfil socioeconômico dos pescadores de lagosta da comunidade de Cajueiro, Touros, RN
O pescador artesanal na sua prática da captura de lagosta na comunidade de Cajueiro, Touros, RN, tem se mostrado determinante na cadeia produtiva da pesca artesanal, na dinamização da economia de subsistência e formação identitária de sua gente, de sua história, de seu território. Desta forma este estudo, busca descrever o perfil do pescador artesanal de lagosta bem como caracterizar a pesca artesanal da lagosta praticada pela comunidade, através…
Anxiety and Depression in Patients with Prostate Cancer, at Cancer Diagnosis and after a One-Year Follow-Up
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent among men, and psychological symptoms may affect many patients. This study aims to describe the prevalence of probable anxiety and depression before PCa treatments and after one year and to identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with these outcomes. Between February 2018 and March 2020, 292 patients recently diagnosed with PCa were recruited at the Instituto Português de Oncologia-Por…
Health Literacy in Portugal
Health literacy entails the knowledge, motivation, and competencies to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information in order to make judgments and decisions in everyday life concerning health care, disease prevention, and health promotion to maintain or improve quality of life throughout the life course. It has become an essential concept in public health. It is considered a modifiable determinant of health decisions, health behavio…
Influenza
Introduction. Experts on vaccine hesitancy recommend tailoring interventions to local contexts, which presents an opportunity for game-based interventions to reflect local demographics and make them central to the experience of the game. Experimental game design is a research method that has already been used in educational games. Board games are relevant to the topic of vaccination, and present possibilities for game design of openness and flexi…
Virtual Reality-Based Cognitive Stimulation on People with Mild to Moderate Dementia due to Alzheimer’s Disease
The use of ecologically oriented approaches with virtual reality (VR) depicting instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) is a promising approach for interventions on acquired brain injuries. However, the results of such an approach on dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease (AD) are still lacking. This research reports on a pilot randomized controlled trial that aimed to explore the effect of a cognitive stimulation reproducing several IADL …
The Relationship between Nutritional Status and Functional Capacity
Demographic aging of the population allied with the new family structures and societal dynamics is generating an increasing demand for institutions for older adults. Nutritional status is a key health determinant that impacts the quality of life among older adults. Hence, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status and nutritional risk, functional capacity, and cognition in institutionalised Portuguese…
Virtual Reality-Based Cognitive Stimulation to Improve Cognitive Functioning in Community Elderly
The advantages of using naturalistic virtual reality (VR) environments based on everyday life tasks for cognitive intervention in the elderly are not yet well understood. The literature suggests that the similarity of such exercises with real life activities may improve generalizability by extending the transfer of gains of training to everyday living. This study aimed to investigate the gains associated with this ecologically-oriented virtual re…
Psychometric and Rash Analysis of the Ucla Loneliness Scale-16 in a Portuguese Sample of Older Adults
Spiritual Intelligence Self-Assessment Inventory
Spiritual intelligence has gained increasing importance as an academic construct in the field of psychology. We present the psychometric properties for the Portuguese adaptation of the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory-24, SISRI-24. The exploratory analysis showed a factorial structure different from the original scale, comprising three factors instead of four as in the original version, in which “Transcendental Awareness” was removed.…
