    The present context, with an ongoing pandemic situation, war and climate change, seems to play a critical role in both the peoples’ perception of their quality of life, and the acquisition and development of social and emotional competencies. In this study, our goal was to assess the relationship between social and emotional competencies and peoples’ quality of life in a Portuguese sample. Participants were 1139 individuals living in Portugal, aged between 16 and 85 years old, who were mostly (73%) female. An online protocol for data acquisition was used, which included sociodemographic characterization, the Portuguese version of the scale of Social and Emotional Competencies (SEC-Q) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BRIEF). Correlation analysis and a canonical correlation were performed, with results showing a high association between the dimensions of social and emotional competencies and peoples’ quality of life. Two significant canonical roots were extracted, and the results show that the first is characterized by internal factors, linking psychological health and self-management and motivation, and the second root evidences the external factors, linking social relations and environment with social awareness and pro-social behavior.

    Frontal lobe functions and quality of life in individuals with obesity with and without binge eating disorder
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-10-08) Gameiro, Fátima; Rosa, Beatriz; Faria, Miguel; CISIS - Research Centre for Social Work and Social Intervention; EPCV - School of Psychology and Life Sciences
    Frontal lobe functions (FLFs) play an important role in human behavioral regulation and can be a determinant of eating behavior. The aim of this study was to analyse FLFs in individuals with obesity, with and without binge eating disorder (BED), compared to individuals with normal weight (NW), and to analyse the effect of sex and binge disorder on quality of life, with age and BMI as covariates. A total of 114 participants, comprising three different groups (NW individuals, individuals with obesity but without BED, and individuals with obesity and BED), completed the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL-lite) questionnaires. The results showed that individuals with obesity, with and without BED, have poorer frontal lobe functioning than the NW group. Individuals with obesity and BED have lower performance in terms of FLFs than individuals with obesity but without BED. Male participants have a higher perception of quality of life in all dimensions, with women showing lower values in self-esteem and sex life. Individuals with obesity and BED show greater weaknesses in physical function. These results suggest that low FLFs and worse quality of life characterize individuals with obesity, and this is more evident in these individuals with BED.

    O papel do enfermeiro na mulher vítima de violência doméstica : revisão sistemática
    (University of Lusophone Humanities and Technology, 2022) Faria, Miguel; Longo, João; Andriyash, André; Costa, Bárbara; Pinheiro, Bárbara; Aleixo, Mariana; CeIED (FCT) - Centro de Estudos Interdisciplinares em Educação e Desenvolvimento
    A revisão sistemática deste artigo teve como objetivo analisar a resposta do enfermeiro às necessidades da mulher vítima de violência doméstica. Na pesquisa bibliográfica foram identificados 191 artigos dos quais foram incluídos 6 na presente revisão, com um total de 787 participantes, com idades entre os 18 e os 65 anos, distribuídos por cinco países. Concluímos que a maioria das disciplinas da área da saúde não contempla a formação e treino necessários aos aspetos relacionados com a violência, o que leva a que os profissionais não tenham as habilitações necessárias para promover intervenções eficazes com impacto positivo na saúde das mulheres em contexto de violência. Desta forma, o assunto requer uma melhor formação de profissionais de saúde capazes de enfrentar a situação, articulada com ações preventivas e assistenciais humanizadas.
