National perceptions of over-70s' status as a moderator in the link between vol...
Sánchez‐García, J.; Lima, M. L.; Marques, S.; Gil‐Lacruz, A. I.; Gil‐Lacruz, M.This study examines the moderating role of national subjective social status (SSS) perceptions of the general population about individuals over the age of 70 on the relationship between volunteering and subjective well-being (health, happiness, and life satisfaction) of older adults. We hypothesize that in countries where the over-70s are perceived to have higher status, the relationship between volunteering an...
Acceptance of digital health in Portugal: An example of digital divide
Lima, M. L.; Camilo, C.; Rodrigues, R. B.; Bobrowicz-Campos, E.; Espanha, R.; Martins, H.; Sánchez-García, J.Introduction: Digital health technologies are becoming increasingly important in achieving broader healthcare goals worldwide, with significant investments in infrastructure and legislative frameworks to regulate this growing sector. However, despite substantial structural support, a gap remains between investment and consumer usage, particularly evident in Portugal. Methods: This study aims to understand attit...
Beyond close relationships: The positive effects of group relationships and gro...
Camilo, C.; Lima, M. L.; Moura, R.; Quintal, F.; Palacin-Lois, M.Introduction: It is well-known that social relationships positively impact health, but the direct and indirect ways these lead to better health outcomes remain understudied. Stemming from the concept of multiple levels of analysis, we address this problem by disentangling the links between different types of social relationships and health (including physical health, mental health, and well-being), and comparin...
Anxiety meets nature: The role of nature in the relationship between socioecono...
Moura, R.; Camilo, C.; Lima, M. L.; Luís, S.; Elliott, L. R.; White, M. P.People with lower subjective socioeconomic status are more prone to experiencing anxiety and poorer subjective well-being. Nature’s restorative ability can play an important role among this group, given that spending time outdoors is often associated with better overall mental health and well-being. In this study, we aim to explore the moderating effect of recent visits to green and blue natural spaces on the m...
Mechanisms underlying the associations between different types of nature exposu...
Martin, L.; White, M. P.; Elliott, L. R.; Grellier, J.; Astell-Burt, T.; Bratman, G. N.; Lima, M. L.; Nieuwenhuijsen, M.; Ojala, A.; Roiko, A.Whilst green space has been linked to healthier sleep outcomes, the roles of specific types of nature exposure, potential underlying mechanisms, and between-country variations in nature-sleep associations have received little attention. Drawing on cross-sectional survey data from an 18-country sample of adults (N = 16,077) the current study examined: 1) the relative associations between six different types of n...
O valor dos valores na utilização das tecnologias digitais em saúde
Rodrigues, R. B.; Bobrowicz-Campos, E.; Camilo, C.; Lima, M. L.; Espanha, R.; Martins, H.A implementação de Tecnologias Digitais em Saúde (TDS) regista uma expansão em vários países, estimulada pela perspetiva de ganhos de acessibilidade e equidade, mas também de eficiência na prestação dos cuidados de saúde. Contudo, o grau de adoção das TDS pelas pessoas varia consideravelmente, sendo necessário mapear os seus determinantes. No quadro dos fatores psicossociais, os valores têm um papel importante ...
Public opinion about solar radiation management: A cross-cultural study in 20 c...
Contzen, N.; Perlaviciute, G.; Steg, L.; Reckels, S. C.; Alves, S.; Bidwell, D.; Böhm, G.; Bonaiuto, M.; Chou, L.-F.; Corral-Verdugo, V.; Dessi, F.Some argue that complementing climate change mitigation measures with solar radiation management (SRM) might prove a last resort to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. To make a socially responsible decision on whether to use SRM, it is important to consider also public opinion, across the globe and particularly in the Global South, which would face the greatest risks from both global warming and SRM. However, most...
Padrões de utilização de tecnologias digitais em saúde: Um estudo descritivo
Bobrowicz-Campos, E.; Camilo, C.; Rodrigues, R. B.; Lima, M. L.; Espanha, R.; Martins, H.As tecnologias digitais de saúde (TDS) trazem múltiplos benefícios para utentes e profissionais, existindo, em Portugal, uma oferta diversificada de ferramentas e serviços que recorrem à utilização das mesmas. Para perceber se esta oferta é acessível para todos e se acomoda as necessidades de pessoas com diferentes níveis de adoção tecnológica, é necessário mapear os padrões de utilização das TDS existentes e r...
Influences of nationality and national identification on perceived dangerousnes...
Breakwell, G. M.; Camilo, C.; Jaspal, R.; Lima, M. L.During the COVID-19 pandemic, both variants of the virus that causes the disease and vaccines developed to combat it have been identified with nationalities. Both social identity theory and identity process theory would predict that this would initiate intergroup differentiation processes aimed at optimizing ingroup value and personal identity enhancement. Our study examined whether people’s nationality and lev...
Judging pharmaceutical environmental risk by its cover? The effects of prescrip...
Luís, S.; Moura, R.; Lima, M. L.; Poggio, L.; Aragonés, J. I.; Camilo, C.Recent wastewater analyses performed in care homes for the elderly showed high levels of water pollution resulting from pharmaceutical waste. The way people perceive the environmental risk of pharmaceuticals can contribute to reversing this problem, but the factors that influence risk perception remain relatively unknown. The aims of the study are two-fold. We first focused on exploring the levels of knowledge ...
