Development and validation of a measurement of Bystander Intervention on Online Hate Speech towards Immigrants (Biohs-Immigrants)
Online hate speech has profound implications for society, with migrants as primary targets. Underreporting by victims and bystanders obscures the true extent, indirectly legitimizing these crimes. To assess bystander intervention in online hate speech against immigrants, we developed a scale based on the five steps of the bystander intervention model. In Study 1 (N = 294), exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the five-factor str…
Baseline data and associations between urinary biomarkers of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, blood pressure, hemogram, and lifestyle among wildland firefighters
Introduction Available literature has found an association between firefighting and pathologic pathways leading to cardiorespiratory diseases, which have been linked with exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are highlighted as priority pollutants by the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative in occupational and non-occupational contexts. Methods This cross-sectional study is the first to simultaneously characterize six creat…
Exploring Dementia-Friendly Environments in Long-Term Care Facilities: Perspectives from Multiple Stakeholders in Portugal
Current evidence suggests the importance of dementia-friendly environments in enhancing the well-being and quality-of-life of people living with dementia, particularly when they need to move out, either permanently or temporarily, of their own homes (e.g., long-term care facilities or hospitals). As dementia-specific regulations are currently absent in Portugal, most long-term care facilities are not designed to meet the needs of persons living w…
Validation of the Portuguese Version of the Risk Instrument for Screening in the Community (Risc) Among Older Patients in Primary Care in Northern Portugal
Background: Aging is associated with an increase in adverse health outcomes for older people. Short screening instruments that easily and quickly identify those at highest risk can enable decision-makers to anticipate future needs, allocate scarce resources and act to minimize risk. The Risk Instrument for Screening in the Community (RISC) is a brief (2–5 min) Likert scale that scores one-year risk of institutionalization, hospitalization and dea…
Unmet needs of informal carers of the oldest old in Portugal
Oldest-old individuals are a growing segment of the population that faces several challenges in terms of care demands. Informal caregivers experience more or less challenges, namely depending on the support they can access. The present study explores the unmet needs of a sample of informal caregivers of community-dwelling older adults aged 80+ and analyses the association of such needs with sociodemographic information, care-giving context (e.g.,…
