- Positive mental health in university students and its relations with psychological vulnerability, mental health literacy, and sociodemographic characteristics: a descriptive correlational studyPublication . Teixeira, Sónia; Ferré-Grau, Carme; Lluch-Canut, Teresa; Pires, Regina; Carvalho, J.C.; Carvalho Ribeiro, Isilda Maria Oliveira; Sequeira, Carolina; Rodrigues, Teresa; Sampaio, Francisco; Costa, Tiago; Sequeira, CarlosThis study aimed to evaluate positive mental health (PMH) and its relation with sociodemographic characteristics, mental health literacy, and the psychological vulnerability scale (PVS) in Portuguese university students aged 17 to 62. A descriptive correlational study was carried out. An online survey was conducted to evaluate demographic variables, and several questionnaires were applied to evaluate positive mental health, psychological vulnerability, and mental health literacy. The data was collected from 1 November 2019 to 1 September 2020. Overall, 3405 students participated in the study. The results show that 67.8% of students revealed a high level of PMH, 31.6% presented a medium level of PMH, and 0.6% had a low level of PMH. Male students reported higher personal satisfaction (t (3170) = −2.39, p = 0.017) and autonomy (t (3170) = −3.33, p = 0.001) in PMH compared to female students. Students without a scholarship scored higher (t (3127) = −2.04, p = 0.42) in PMH than students who held a scholarship. Students who were not displaced from their home reported higher (t (3170) = −1.99, p = 0.047) self-control in PMH than those displaced from their home. University students with higher PMH results had lower PVS results and higher literacy results. The findings of this study will contribute to identifying students’ PMH intervention needs.
- Contributes for the development of a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing: A focus group study in Portugal and SpainPublication . Sampaio, Francisco; Sequeira, Carlos; Lluch-Canut, TeresaPurpose To explore the aspects set forth as the minimum set of features that should integrate a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing. Design and Methods Two focus groups were conducted, with the participation of 15 nursing professionals. Data were analysed thematically. Findings Five topics previously identified were analysed: theoretical conceptualization, structure, patients’ inclusion and exclusion criteria, operationalization, and evaluation of the intervention(s) effectiveness. Theoretical conceptualization has been mainly grounded on Peplau's theory. Moreover, participants believe that standardized nursing language and nursing process should be the presumptions of the model. Practice Implications This study allowed the identification of a minimum set of features that should integrate a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing, about which consensus must be reached with a view to its further development.
