The interaction between the teacher and the student is essential in order to encourage adherence to physical exercise or sports by young people. In this sense, the support of the autonomy of the teacher for the students has been analyzed in a one-dimensional way. Therefore, the aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Multidimensional Scale of Support for Autonomy Perceived for Physical Education the context of Spanish to physical exercise, in order to have a multidimensional scale. A total of 2329 young people from various educational centers in Andalusia (Spain) participated in the study. The factorial structure of the questionnaire was examined through an exploratory factorial analysis and two confirmatory factorial analyses. In addition, an analysis of invariability by sex and age was carried out. The results reflected that the validated questionnaire showed adequate psychometric properties, being invariable with respect to sex and age.
Se analizan los resultados de un programa de terapia ocupacional basado en la técnicaMindfulness en una muestra de tercera edad escogida mediante un método probabilístico de conveniencia con medidas pre-test y pos-test, con un grupo experimental (n=10) y control (n=10). El objetivo es determinar si una terapia basada en atención plena puede producir mejoras cognitivas, sociales y emocionales en los diferentes sujetos. Tanto el grupo experimental como el control completaron las escalas PANAS, FFMQ, e IRI. Se obtuvieron mejoras estadísticamente significativas en el grupo experimental comparado con el grupo control, confirmándose así la efectividad de la técnica Mindfulness. Este es uno de los pocos estudios que examina los efectos de una intervención de Mindfulness en la tercera edad desde un abordaje de terapia ocupacional. Dada la importancia de los resultados se sugiere trabajar con muestras más significativas.
