Clinical and cost effectiveness of a system for turning and positioning intensi...
Kapp, Suzanne; Gerdtz, Marie; Gefen, Amit; Padula, William; Alves, Paulo; Trevellini, Chenel; Ghosh, Angaj; Shea, Ashley; Cross, Anthony; Sousa, InesPressure injuries affect 13.1% to 45.5% of patients in the intensive care unit and lead to pain and discomfort for patients, burden on healthcare providers, and unnecessary cost to the health system. Turning and positioning systems offer improvements on usual care devices, however the evidence of the effectiveness of such systems is still emerging. We conducted an investigator initiated, prospective, single cen...
As trials go by: Effects of 2-AFC item repetition on statistical learning perfo...
Soares, Ana Paula; Franca, Tiago; Gutierrez-Dominguez, Francisco-Javier; Sousa, Ines; Oliveira, Helena MendesOne of the most popular tasks used to test statistical learning (SL) involves asking participants to identify which of two stimuli, a triplet presented during the previous familiarization phase versus a new sequence made of the same stimuli never presented together, is more familiar based on the stream presented before, that is, to perform a two-alternative forced-choice (2-AFC) task. Despite the widespread use...
Innovative moments in recovered cases treated with the unified protocol for tra...
Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Batista, João; Braga, Catia; Oliveira, João Tiago; Fernandez-Navarro, Pablo; Magalhaes, Carina; Ferreira, Helena; Sousa, InesObjective Innovative moments (IMs) are moments in which the previous problematic pattern of meaning is challenged. Studies have shown that IMs are associated with good psychotherapy outcomes. A three-level hierarchy of IMs was observed in recent studies, with level 1 IMs being more elementary and levels 2 and 3 being more complex and associated with treatment success. However, studies with manualized protocol t...
Premature termination of the unified protocol for the transdiagnostic treatment...
Oliveira, João Tiago; Sousa, Ines; Ribeiro, Antonio P.; Gonçalves, Miguel M.Ambivalence towards change is an expected, recurrent process in psychological change. However, the prolonged experience of ambivalence in psychotherapy contributes to client disengagement, which could result in treatment dropout. Considering the negative effects of premature termination of therapy and the convenience of the identification of clients who are at risk of dropping out before achieving good-outcome,...
Ambivalence resolution in meaning reconstruction grief therapy: an exploratory ...
Braga, Cátia Sofia Macedo; Batista, João; Ferreira, Helena; Sousa, Ines; Gonçalves, Miguel M.In psychotherapy, ambivalence may be conceptualized as a conflict between two distinct motivations: one that is favorable to change (pro-change) and another that favors the maintenance of a problematic pattern (pro status quo). Previous studies identified two processes by which clients resolve this conflict: imposing the innovative part and silencing the problematic one (dominance), and establishing negotiation...
Preliminary insights into the spatial ecology and movement patterns of a region...
Sousa, Ines; Baeyaert, Joffrey; Goncalves, Jorge M. S.; Erzini, KarimThe implementation of spatial protection measures is currently a priority in batoid species' conservation strategies, but their spatial ecology remains largely unknown. We provide some preliminary insights into the movement patterns of the white skate (Rostroraja alba), a batoid classified as Critically Endangered in European waters. Three individuals (two females: one mature, one immature
Relationships between neuropsychological and antisaccade measures in multiple s...
Ferreira, Marisa Borges; Pereira, Paulo A.; Parreira, Marta; Sousa, Ines; Figueiredo, José; Cerqueira, João José; Macedo, Antonio FilipeBackground: The Stroop test is frequently used to assess deficits in inhibitory control in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This test has limitations and antisaccade eye movements, that also measure inhibitory control, may be an alternative to Stroop.Objectives: The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to investigate if the performance in the antisaccade task is altered in patients with MS and (ii) to investi...
