“…Formal social support was assessed using an adapted version of the Questionnaire of Institutional Support (Calheiros & Paulino, 2007;Calheiros, Graça, Patrício, Morais & Costa, 2009). Three dimensions of functional support were assessed (23 items), each of them considering both social workers and educators: 1) Esteem -it involves young people perceptions that they are valued by social workers/educators (6 items, e.g.…”

“…"Do you think that in this institution the social workers/educators well evaluate your problems?"). Young people might answer each item using a scale from Never (1) to Ever (5) (Calheiros & Paulino, 2007;Calheiros et al, 2009). This scale revealed adequate reliability and validity evidence (Reference deleted for blind review).…”

“…After this first step, in which we tested the dual factor model adequacy with youths in residential care, we performed a second step, in which we analyzed how different groups of mental health may show diverse levels of social support: a) informal support availability (i.e., sufficient number of available sources of support) and satisfaction (i.e., the individual satisfaction with support); b) three contents of formal support, each one responded for social workers and educators: esteem (i.e., young people perceptions that they are valued by social workers/educators), emotional/relational (i.e., young people perceived concern, care and empathy from social workers/educators) and evaluative/informational (i.e., young people perceived information, guidance or feedback provided by social workers and educators) (Calheiros et al, 2009;Calheiros & Paulino, 2007).…”

According to the positive psychology background, the focus on constructive dimensions of individual functioning implies a critical change on the paradigm from the merely analysis focused on individual pathology (and on the need to repair the damage) to an approach focused on self-actualization and well-being (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). Despite the progressive investment in this area, the study of distress and disorders has been greater than in the positive individual functioning. As such, in order to address the limitations of traditional models of mental health, a range of theoretical models, with different labels but focused on the same conceptual meanings, has emerged from the positive psychology framework. For instance, there are authors proposing a Dual-factor system of mental health (Greenspoon & Saklofske, 2001), others the The two continua model of mental illness and health (Westerhof & Keyes, 2010) and others the Dual-factor model of mental health (Wang, Zhang & Wang, 2011). All these models suggest that mental health must be viewed as a complete state, reflecting the integration of a positive (well-being) and a negative (psychopathology) dimension of adjustment, in two continuums but related factors (Wang et al., 2011; Westerhof et al., 2010). This conceptualization of mental health has been empirically tested and results supported the model with two separate dimensions (Keyes, 2005; Wilkinson & Walford, 1998). This evidence of a dual-factor model of mental health allows the classification of

“…A total of 20 items were used to assess social support (esteem, emotional/relational, and instrumental) in residential settings (Calheiros & Paulino, 2007; Calheiros et al, 2009) from educators as perceived by young people. Items (e.g., “To what extent do you think the educators are available to attend you?”) were answered on a scale from 1 (Never) to 5 (Ever).…”

A rights-based approach calls for studies to explore further the extent to which rights’ fulfillment in residential care affects young people’s mental health. A focus on protective factors, such as supportive relations, can inform policies and practices in residential care which is critical for youths’ empowerment and adaptive outcomes. However, existing studies on social support are mainly descriptive and qualitative in nature or focus on the effect of support in mental health. This study builds upon and enhances existing knowledge by exploring the moderating role of social support from educators in residential care and the association between perceived rights and psychological difficulties. A sample of 366 adolescents (53% boys) in residential care ( M age = 14.82; SD = 1.81) were included in this study and completed self-reported measures on perceived rights, support in residential care and psychological difficulties. Social support moderated the relationship between the perception of rights regarding respectful system practices, autonomy and contact with family, as well as psychological difficulties. When greater social support was perceived by the adolescents, higher perceptions of respectful system practices and lower perceptions of autonomy and contact with family were associated with lower levels of psychological difficulties. Results provide evidence for the positive role of rights’ fulfillment in psychological functioning in residential care, as well as the protective role of supportive educators.

“…Enquanto processo que envolve o sujeito e a sua rede de apoio (Ornelas, 1994), o suporte social pode ser designado por i) formal, refletindo o apoio proveniente de fontes institucionais, ou ii) informal, caracterizando o apoio providenciado fora de contextos formais (e.g., local de trabalho, profissionais de saúde) e incluindo o apoio proveniente de amigos e familiares (Calheiros & Paulino, 2007;Campbell, Wynne-Jones, & Dunn, 2011). O suporte social pode ainda ser identificado de acordo com os seus diferentes atributos: 1) suporte emocional, envolvendo uma ligação afetiva, de empatia e confiança, 2) suporte instrumental, designando a disponibilização de serviços e assistência concreta (e.g., disponibilização de ajuda no transporte para o hospital), 3) suporte informativo, definindo o apoio informativo prestado durante uma situação de crise, e 4) suporte avaliativo, envolvendo a comunicação de informação que é importante para a autoavaliação do indivíduo (Campbell et al, 2011;Langford, Bowsher, Maloney, & Lillis, 1997).…”

ResumoObjetivo: Potencial moderador e mediador da eficácia nas intervenções para perda de peso bem-sucedida (PPBS), o suporte social é poucas vezes avaliado neste contexto. Pretende-se averiguar a relação entre a percentagem de peso perdido e variáveis sociodemográficas e psicológicas, incluindo satisfação com o suporte social, em pessoas que realizaram uma PPBS. Método: No total, 105 adultos com PPBS (ou seja, perda igual ou superior a 7% do peso inicial, com manutenção mínima de 12 meses) preencheram a Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social e um questionário para recolha de informação sociodemográfica, estado de saúde psicológica e estilos de vida. Resultados: O modelo estrutural com as dimensões de satisfação com a família e intimidade apresentou um bom ajustamento (χ 2 /gl = 1,343; CFI = 0,943; GFI = 0,924; RMSEA = 0,057, p < 0,001; C.I. 90% = ]0,000; 0,093[); a satisfação com o suporte familiar (β = 0,193; p = 0,081) e a existência de uma relação afetivo-sexual (β = -0,184; p = 0,082) foram as únicas variáveis a predizer marginalmente a percentagem de peso perdido. Conclusão: Participantes mais satisfeitos com o suporte familiar (no mínimo, um ano após a PPBS) perderam uma maior percentagem de peso; assim, a satisfação com suporte social da família poderá ser uma variável relevante no processo de perda de peso. Todavia, a natureza do estudo (tipo de estudo e de amostra) torna necessária mais investigação na área para confirmar este resultado.Palavras-Chave: perda de peso bem-sucedida, satisfação com o suporte social, satisfação com o suporte familiar Abstract Aim: As a potential moderator and mediator of the effectiveness of interventions for successful weight losses (SWL), which is rarely assessed in this context, we aimed to examine the relation between the percentage of weight loss and psychological and socio-demographic variables, including satisfaction with social support, in people who accomplished a SWL. Method: A total of 105 adults with a SWL (that is, a loss equal or superior to 7% of the initial weight, sustained for at least 12 months) filled the Satisfaction with Social Support Scale and a questionnaire, in order to collect socio-demographic, psychological health status and life style information. Results: The structural model with the dimensions of satisfaction with family support and intimacy present a good adjustment (χ 2 /gl = 1,343; CFI = 0,943; GFI = 0,924; RMSEA = 0,057, p < 0,001; C.I. 90% = ]0,000; 0,093[); satisfaction with family support (β = 0,193; p = 0,081) and the presence of a sexual-affective relationship (β = -0,184; p = 0,082) were the only variables to marginally predict the percentage of lost weight. Conclusion:The participants who were more satisfied with family support (at least one year after the SWL) lost a greater percentage of weight; therefore, satisfaction with family social support might be a relevant variable in the weight loss process. However, the nature of the study (type of study and sample) demands further research to corroborate this results.
