Resumo
A presente dissertação integrada no Mestrado Neuropsicologia Aplicada, da Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, tem como objetivo fundamental o estudo da avaliação e da aplicação de um Programa de Treino Cognitivo em Indivíduos com Perturbação pelo uso do álcool em regime de internamento.
Esta investigação teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto de um programa de treino cognitivo com recurso à realidade virtual não imersiva no funcionamento cognitivo de pessoas com perturbação pelo uso de álcool. Para isso foram avaliados 36 participantes, em processo de internamento na Casa de Saúde do Telhal, na Clínica de Alcoologia Novo Rumo, divididos em dois grupos, o grupo de controlo (N=17), apenas fez tratamento tradicional, e o grupo experimental (N=19), fez tratamento tradicional + RV. Os dois grupos foram avaliados através de uma bateria de testes neuropsicológicos, no início e final do tratamento. A intervenção decorreu durante o mês de internamento, realizando-se 10 sessões de treino cognitivo. O programa incide nas funções que geralmente se encontram em défice, como é o caso da Atenção, Memória, Memória de Trabalho, Capacidades Visuo-Espaciais e Funções Executivas. Os resultados demonstram que as atividades de estimulação cognitiva, que incidem sobre capacidade de sequenciação, capacidade atencional e a flexibilidade cognitiva, tendem a melhorar o desempenho destas dimensões nestes sujeitos. Já os resultados obtidos no grupo sujeito a diferentes tipos de PEC´s (RV+ tradicional) não demonstram diferenças significativas
The presente dissertation thesis, integrated in Applied Neuropsychology of the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, has the goal of studying the evaluation and application of Cognitive Stimulation Programs on alcoholics in internment regime. The purpose of this study was: To assess the effect of a cognitive stimulation program in cognitive functioning of patients with alcohol dependence, using mobile applications running in a tablet during treatment withdrawal, and to assess the usability of the equipment and applications that were used. To accomplish this goal, 36 participants hospitalized at the Novo Rumo Clinics of the Casa de saúde do Telhal, were selected and divided in two groups, the control group (N=17), without stimulation, and the experimental group (N=19), using mobile technology. At the beginning and of the treatment, both groups were assessed using a neuropsychological battery. Intervention was performed during the one month the treatment, through 10 ssessions of cognitive stimulation. These cognitive stimulation programs are focused on the cognitive dimensions that are most affected in the individuals suffering of Alcoholic Dependence Syndrome : Attention, Memory and Logical Reasoning. The results show that cognitive stimulation activities focusing on sequencing capacity, attentional capacity and cognitive flexibility, tend to improve the performance of these dimensions in these subjects. The results obtained in goups subject to different types of PEC´S (RV+ tradicional and traditional ) did not show significant differences.
