“…A relação entre o IRSAS e a predisposição para a prevenção, como era expetável, é positiva e significativa, ou seja, quanto maior o reconhecimento dos sinais de alerta para os atos suicidas, maior a predisposição para agir de forma preventiva (Tsai et al, 2010).…”

“…Por um lado, o valor baixo da correlação pode dever-se ao facto de terem sido utilizados itens isolados como critérios, por outro lado, também pode significar a necessidade de uma intervenção psicoeducacional no sentido de fortalecer a associação entre as mesmas, isto é, se promovermos a capacidade de reconhecimento dos sinais de alerta provavelmente aumentamos a perceção de eficácia do jovem para prevenir um caso de suicídio. Como a literatura tem evidenciado, o reconhecimento dos sinais de alerta pode ser determinante na prevenção de um ato suicida Capuzzi, 2009;Tsai et al, 2010).…”

“…Perspetivava-se, com base na literatura, que a uma maior concordância entre os sinais de alerta para os atos suicidas corresponderia uma maior predisposição para a prevenção do suicídio Capuzzi, 2009;Kalafat & Elias, 1994;Miller, 2011;Tsai et al, 2010;Waldvogel, Rueter, & Oberg, 2008;Walker, Ashby, Hoskins, & Greene, 2009 : 8,16,17,19,20,23,24,34,36,37;Fator 2: 4,11,12,13,14,22,26,28,16,23,24,27,29,33,34,35,36,37;Fator 2: 4,11,12,13,14,22,26,28;Fator 3: 2,17,30,31 satisfatórios Esta solução fatorial explicou 54.45% da variância total e apresentou 3 fatores com alfas de Cronbach bastante satisfatórios, valores próprios superiores à unidade e percentagem de variância explicada superior a 5%. Os itens têm "pesos fatoriais" superiores a .4, no respetivo fator primário e inferiores a .3, no fator secundário, exceto o item 4, que assume um valor ligeiramente superior, mas dada a sua importância teórica optou-se por não o excluir.…”

ResumoO reconhecimento de sinais de alerta pelos pares é uma estratégia fundamental para a prevenção do suicídio. Contudo, não existem instrumentos que avaliem o conhecimento dos adolescentes sobre esses sinais. Este estudo pretende desenvolver um Inventário de Reconhecimento de Sinais de Alerta para Atos Suicidas (IRSAS) e estudar as respetivas características psicométricas. A amostra integrou 512 adolescentes do ensino secundário (59% do sexo feminino), com uma média de idades 16.78 anos. As análises fatoriais exploratória e confirmatória, juntamente com critérios teóricos, conduziram a uma solução trifatorial (23 itens) que avalia sinais de alerta comportamentais, verbais e de isolamento. O IRSAS apresentou características de fiabilidade e de validade bastante satisfatórias. Palavras-chave: sinais de alerta, suicidio, adolescentes AbstractThe recognition of warning signs by peers is a key strategy for suicide prevention. However, there are no tools to assess the knowledge of adolescents about these signs. This study aims to develop a Warning Signs Recognition for Suicidal Acts Inventory (WSSAI) and study the respective psychometric characteristics. The sample comprised 512 high-school adolescents (59% female) with a mean age16.78 years. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes, along with theoretical criteria, led to a three-factor solution (23 items) that assesses behavioral, verbal and isolation warning signs. The WSSAI presented quite satisfactory reliability and validity characteristics.

“…3 Depression has been noted to induce suicidal ideation whilst a history of previous suicidal attempts increases the risk for suicide. 4 Depression may occur in persons of any age, gender or background within a person's lifetime. In the year 2000, depression was the leading cause of disability, as measured by 'years of life lived with disability', and the 4th leading contributor to the global burden of disease, 'disability adjusted life years lost' (DALY's).…”

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a nurse-facilitated-cognitive-group (NFCG) intervention as an adjunct to antidepressant medication, in mild to moderately, depressed women. Method: This was a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent, control group design study. A sample of 30 consenting participants was selected from an urban, community psychiatric clinic, and the participants were randomly allocated to the control and the intervention groups. The effectiveness of the intervention was measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: After six weeks of implementation of the NFCG intervention, there was a decrease in the BDI scores of the intervention group, and an increase in the BDI scores in the control group (CG) -but the difference in scores was not significant (Student's t-test=1.076, p=0.291). After 12 weeks of the group intervention, the BDI scores for the intervention group, showed a considerable reduction in their levels of depression, whilst the participants of the control group had a further increase in their scores. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups, with respect to the BDI scores (p<0.001). The Friedman test indicated that the mean BDI scores, were statistically significant (p<0.001) within the intervention group, meaning that the BDI scores improved, at the end of the intervention for all the participants. Analysis of the BDI scores, using the Friedman test, showed that there was no improvement in the control group (p=0.597). Conclusion: The NFCG intervention, as an adjunct to antidepressant medication, contributed to a reduction in depressive symptoms.
