Resumo
A prova de atenção Tolouse-Piérron (TP) é uma prova de avaliação neuropsicológica que avalia o domínio da atenção (atenção concentrada). Pretende-se com este estudo analisar as qualidades psicométricas da TP em indivíduos com comportamentos aditivos de uso de substâncias ilícitas, dependência alcoólica e em população normativa (amostra comunitária) com recurso à validade convergente, discriminante, analisando a consistência interna, com o objetivo de obter os pontos de corte para a população portuguesa que permitam discriminar diferenças entre grupos clínicos e não clínicos. A amostra é constituída por 979 voluntários sendo 617 homens e 362 mulheres, divididos em quatro grupos, três dos quais clínicos (redução de riscos, tratamento em comunidade e tratamento de síndrome alcoólica) e um grupo normativo. A média de idades da amostra é de 38.7 (DP=12.22). Através da análise dos resultados verificou-se que a TP se correlaciona significativamente com as provas Color Trail Test (CTT) exceto no CTT 1 erros e nas figuras 1 e 2 do teste de perceção visual Poppelreuter. Quanto à análise de ROC verificou-se que a TP discrimina melhor os grupos redução de riscos e tratamento em comunidade vs grupo normativo, e que não foi capaz de discriminar o grupo de dependência de síndrome alcoólica.
The Tolouse-Piérron (TP) Attention Test is a neuropsychological assessment test that assesses the domain of attention (concentrated attention). It consists of a sheet of A3 format with 40 lines and 40 symbols in each line. The aim of this study is to analyze the psychometric qualities of TP in individuals with addictive behaviors of illicit substance use, alcohol dependence and in a normative population using the convergent, discriminant validity, analyzing the internal consistency, in order to obtain the Portuguese population to discriminate differences between clinical and non-clinical groups. The sample consisted of 979 volunteers, 617 men and 362 women, divided into four groups, three of them clinical (risk reduction, community treatment and alcoholic syndrome treatment) and a normative group. The average age of the sample is 38.7 (SD = 12.22). Through the analysis of the results it was verified that the TP correlates significantly with the Color Trail Test (CTT) tests except in the CTT 1 errors and in the figures 1 and 2 of the Poppelreuter visual perception test. Regarding the ROC analysis, it was found that TP better discriminates between risk reduction and treatment groups in community versus normative group, and was not able to discriminate alcohol dependence group.
