Item Ajustamento Psicoemocional e Relacional de Crianças e Jovens com Medida de Acolhimento Residencial(Universitárias Lusófonas, 2022) Gameiro, Fátima; Ferreira, Paula; Pedro, Ana; Rosa, BeatrizDe acordo com estudos prévios, diversos são os fatores que podem influenciar a forma como cada criança/jovem se autoavalia, tendo as relações familiares um papel de grande destaque. Este papel pode ter uma influência direta no ajustamento psicoemocional e relacional das crianças/jovens, no autoconceito, na autoestima, na perceção de suporte social e na conduta. Com o objetivo de comparar o ajustamento de crianças/jovens que vivem em família de origem e em acolhimento residencial foram estudadas 169 crianças/jovens com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 21 anos de idade, 62 a residir em Casa de Acolhimento Residencial e 107 em família, de ambos os sexos, sendo 76 do sexo masculino e 93 feminino. Foram aplicados, via presencial e googleforms, a Escala de Avaliação do Autoconceito de Piers-Harris, a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, as Escalas de Perceção de Suporte Social dos Amigos e da Família e o Questionário de Agressividade. Como resultados, verificou-se que as crianças e jovens em acolhimento residencial revelam diferenças estatisticamente significativas das que residem com as suas famílias em todos os parâmetros analisados. Apresentam-se mais fragilizados ao nível do autoconceito, da autoestima, da perceção de suporte social dos pares e da família. Somente nos valores relativos ao autoconceito de ansiedade não se registaram diferenças significativas, apresentando-se ambos os grupos com valores acima dos normativos para a faixa etária. Quanto à perceção de agressividade, também as diferenças entre os grupos são estatisticamente significativas, verificando-se que as crianças/jovens institucionalizados manifestam uma maior perceção de agressividade, quer ao nível geral, quer nas dimensões instrumental, afetiva e cognitiva. Como conclusões, todas as crianças/jovens inquiridos revelam fragilidades ao nível da gestão da ansiedade, sendo que os institucionalizados manifestam-se mais desajustados psicológica e relacionalmente e mais agressivos. Logo, é urgente intervir de forma transdisciplinar junto desta população, promovendo competências pessoais, relacionas e sociais.Item Cognitive flexibility in healthy elderly: The effect of educational level(Archives of Health, 2022) Rosa, Beatriz; Perea-Bartolomé, Maria Victoria; Ladera-Fernandéz, Valentina; Gameiro, FátimaEste estudo teve como objetivo analisar o efeito da escolaridade na flexibilidade cognitiva em idosos saudáveis. Participaram voluntariamente 105 indivíduos, de ambos os sexos, com idade compreendida entre os 65 e os 88 anos e de diferentes níveis educacionais (baixo, médio, alto e sem escolaridade). O Mini Mental State Examination e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck foram aplicados para avaliar, respetivamente, o estado cognitivo e a depressão, e o Wisconsin Card Sorting Test foi utilizado para medir a flexibilidade cognitiva. As análises de covariância efetuadas demonstraram que o nível educacional exerceu um efeito principal no desempenho do WCST. Os idosos sem escolaridade e com nível educacional baixo, obtiveram resultados mais pobres nos indicadores de flexibilidade cognitiva que os participantes com nível educacional médio e alto. Estes resultados evidenciam o efeito positivo dos anos de escolaridade nos rendimentos neuropsicológicos em indivíduos saudáveis. Palavras-chave: flexibilidade cognitiva, nível educacional, idosos saudáveis.Item Depression, Social Support, Executive Functioning, Functionality, and Quality of Life in Institutionalized Elderly People(2019-12) Ribeiro, Anabela; Rosa, Beatriz; Oliveira, Jorge; Lopes, Paulo Jorge FerreiraAim: Our aim was to study the executive functioning, functionality, and quality of life of institutionalized old aged persons and to determine the potential roles of self-reported depression and satisfaction with social support on these domains. Method: The sample comprised 36 volunteers (13 males and 23 females) aged between 71 and 94 years. The measures used consisted of well-established battery of neuropsychological tests. A comparative study was performed. Results: Participants with depressive symptoms shown impaired executive functioning. Cognitive flexibility, functionality in instrumental activities of daily living, and quality of life are more affected in participants with higher levels of depression that also report higher levels of satisfaction with social support. Conclusion: This result is intriguing and may highlight the relevance of considering not only depression, but also factors related to social isolation and loneliness in the explanation of cognitive performance, functionality, and quality of life.Item Emotional and relational regulation of children and youth in residential care(Studies Publicações, 2023-04-14) Gameiro, Fátima; Ferreira, Paula Isabel Marques; Rosa, Beatriz; Pedro, AnaFamily relationships have been shown to play an important role in the way children/youth evaluate themselves, influencing their emotional and relational regulation, more specifically, their self-concept, self-esteem, perception of social support and behavior. In order to compare the adjustment of children/youth living in residential care and in family, 169 children/youth aged between 10 and 21 years were studied, 62 living in residential care units and 107 with their families, 93 females and 76 males. The Piers-Harris Self-concept Rating Scale, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, Procidano and Heller's Perception of Social Support from Friends and Family and Buss and Perry's Aggressiveness Questionnaire were applied via google forms and in person. The results showed that children and youngsters in residential care show statistically significant differences from those who live with their families in all the parameters analyzed. They are more fragile in terms of self-concept (except for the anxiety domain) and self-esteem, show a lower perception of social support from peers and family, and show a higher perception of aggressiveness, both in general and in the instrumental, affective and cognitive dimensions. We conclude that all participants showed weaknesses in terms of anxiety management, and that institutionalized children/youth were more psychologically and relationally maladjusted and more aggressive, thus demonstrating the urgency for a multidisciplinary intervention in this population, by promoting personal and relational skills. Keywords: emotional and relational regulation, aggressiveness, children and youth, family, residential care.Item Executive functioning in obese individuals waiting for clinical treatment(Psicothema, 2017) Gameiro, Fátima; Perea Bartolomé, María Victoria; Ladera Fernández, Valentina; Rosa, Beatriz; García García, RicardoBackground: Executive functions have an important role in human behavioural regulation and can be a determinant of eating behaviour. Our aim was to study the different components of executive functions in obese individuals waiting for clinical treatment, comparing them with normoweight subjects with similar socio-demographic characteristics. Method: A total of 114 adults (76 obese and 38 normoweight) completed a neuropsychological battery that included tasks of conceptualization and abstraction, motor programming, response maintenance, inhibition and resistance, problem solving, cognitive fl exibility, and verbal fl uency. Results: There was a statistically signifi cant difference between groups for all the dimensions of the executive functions evaluated, with the obese group showing poorer performance compared to normoweight. Conclusions: Obese individuals demonstrated poorer executive functions than normoweight individuals.Item Frontal lobe functions and quality of life in individuals with obesity with and without binge eating disorder(MDPI, 2023-10-08) Gameiro, Fátima; Rosa, Beatriz; Faria, MiguelFrontal 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.Item Inhibitory control and ability to maintain response in obesity and binge eating disorder(Inhibitory control and ability to maintain response in obesity and binge eating disorder., 2022) Gameiro, Fátima; Perea-Bartolomé, Maria Victoria; Ladera-Fernandéz, Valentina; Rosa, BeatrizO objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o controle inibitório e a capacidade de manter a resposta em pacientes obesos com e sem Binge Eating Disorder (BED), em comparação com indivíduos de peso normal. Um total de 114 participantes compreendeu três grupos diferentes (obesos com BED, obesos sem BED e com peso normal) completaram a Bateria de Avaliação Frontal, o Teste de Triagem Neuropsicológica de Stroop e o Teste de Triagem do Cartão de Wisconsin. Os resultados mostraram diferenças entre os grupos de obesos e o grupo de peso normal, para controle inibitório. Também houve diferenças entre os dois grupos de obesos na capacidade de manter a resposta. Estes resultados sugerem que o baixo controle inibitório, caracteriza a obesidade e as dificuldades para manter a resposta, caracteriza o distúrbio alimentar binge. Palavras-chave: controle inibitório, capacidade de manter a resposta, obesidade, distúrbio alimentar bing.Item Psicologia experimental : passado, presente e futuro(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2001) Esteves, Francisco; Carneiro, Paula; Ferreira, Patrícia Arriaga; Rosa, BeatrizItem Risks of obesity in adolescence : the role of physical activity in executive functions(MDPI, 2021) Gameiro, Fátima; Rosa, BeatrizThe aim of this study was to analyze the efficiency of a physical activity program on executive performance in obese adolescents. Fifteen adolescents (5 males and 10 females), with a mean age of 14.73 years and an IMC mean of 36.74 participated in the study. None of the participants presented a compulsive eating disorder when screened by the Binge Eating Scale. A pretest and posttest assessment, twelve months later, was conducted by using a neuropsychological battery that evaluated the cognitive flexibility (Comprehensive Trail Making Test), inhibition control (Stroop Neuropsychological Screening Test and by the Frontal Assessment Battery), and planning (Tower of London). ANOVA of repeated measures was performed. The within-subjects tests demonstrated significant statistical differences between the two moments of evaluation at the level of inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility tasks, with higher performances in the second evaluation. These results suggest that the inclusion of obese adolescents in such programs may promote their executive capacities.
