“…Similarly, the delivery of the program to other groups with different cultural backgrounds or of different age groups demands adaptations. For instance, our current experience with adults and elders suggests that work on life goals through the best possible self-activity might not be relevant for this age group and can be replaced with another activity such as reminiscence, life narratives, or forgiveness, as Durgante and Dell’Aglio ( 2019 ), and others have done. Another identified improvement is the inclusion of additional optional homework activities for those individuals interested in a given topic.…”

The past two decades have witnessed a proliferation of positive psychological interventions for clinical and non-clinical populations, and recent research, including meta-analyses, is providing evidence of its effectiveness. Most interventions have focused on increasing life satisfaction, positive affect, and psychological well-being. Manualized, multi-component interventions based on a comprehensive theory are scarce. Keyes’ concept of mental health and flourishing (subjective, psychological, and social well-being) is an overarching theoretical framework to guide the design of a multi-component psychological intervention to cultivate well-being and personal development. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design a theory-driven positive intervention and to pilot test the intervention. The manual presents an 8-week group program that includes homework activities. A sample of 56 young adults completed the intervention. Participants were assessed at base line, after termination, and at a 6-month follow-up session. Standardized instruments were used to assess the dimensions of mental health proposed by Keyes. Pre- and post-test measures of subjective, psychological, and social well-being showed significant differences, as did the total mental health scores. At 6-month follow-up, differences remained in subjective and psychological well-being and in positive mental health, with smaller effect sizes. Limitations of these preliminary findings as well as future lines of research and improvements in this manualized intervention are proposed in the light of current research on positive interventions.

“…A introdução de uma intervenção multimétodos é preferível, já que oferece um repertório mais variado de abordagens e procura atender às diferenças individuais e culturais ao longo do processo de aprendizagem (Czerka & Mechlińska-Pauli, 2009). Outras intervenções realizadas no Brasil (Durgante & Dell'Aglio, 2019) (Bersch, 2017;Prada, 2007), o que levou à manutenção do formato de oito sessões com frequência semanal do programa.…”

O educador social configura-se como a principal referência protetiva e afetiva de crianças e adolescentes acolhidos. É fundamental, portanto, que estes profissionais sejam continuamente qualificados. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a viabilidade do Programa Cuida, programa em práticas educativas positivas destinado a educadores sociais de instituições de acolhimento. O programa é composto de oito sessões que trabalham temáticas como regulação emocional, comunicação assertiva, estratégias de resolução de conflitos e autocuidado. O programa foi aplicado em dois grupos, totalizando 12 educadores sociais e os critérios de viabilidade analisados foram: Aceitabilidade/adesão; Avaliação do moderador pelos observadores; Satisfação dos participantes com o programa e com o moderador; Compreensão/generalização dos conteúdos. Foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritivas e uma análise qualitativa a partir dos registros dos observadores, participantes e moderador. Os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios considerando os critérios avaliados e as mudanças introduzidas no programa são apresentadas. Este estudo demonstra a viabilidade da proposta de intervenção para que siga para estudo de eficácia.

“…24 Studies on positive psychology for the promotion of health have been conducted by using pre and post-test in medical sciences. 25 There can be the latent variables that may affect the dependent variable but in behavioral studies, even in the presence of the control group, researchers are unable to control the latent variables. It has been noted that pre-test-posttest designs have been used in psychological and behavioral experimental studies to measure any effect of the experimental treatments.…”
