“…15,16 To measure positive emotions (affective component of the SWB), the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) was used.

Data in the current study corroborated the negative association between SWB and anxiety; however, in opposition to the literature, they also evidenced a negative association between SWB and IR. In addition, the present research signaled the need for creating preventive intervention programs to increase SWB through positive psychological techniques and/or to decrease anxiety by applying, for instance, cognitive-behavioral therapy paradigms and/or mindfulness techniques to medical students.

“…The flexibilization of the minimum value of commonality is a practice often employed in exploratory studies (Castillo, Macrini, Cheniaux, & Landeira-Fernandez, 2010;Pereira et al, 2019). In this study, we eliminated items with commonality values less than 0.40.…”

Resumo A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo desenvolver uma Escala de Intenção de Permanecer em Distanciamento Social (EIPDS) com base na Teoria do Comportamento Planejado (TCP). O modelo teórico estabelece que as variáveis “atitudes”, “normas subjetivas” e “controle comportamental percebido” são preditoras da intenção de permanecer em distanciamento social (IPDS). O delineamento metodológico foi o de levantamento online com amostragem não probabilística. A pesquisa contou com 786 participantes brasileiros, majoritariamente residentes da região Sul do país. As variáveis da TCP explicaram 85% da variação da IPDS: normas subjetivas (β = 0,69), atitudes (β = 0,24) e controle comportamental percebido (β = 0,07). Os resultados evidenciam quais crenças subjacentes exercem influência sobre a formação da IPDS e podem servir às organizações públicas e privadas no processo de desenvolvimento de estratégias de promoção e engajamento da população na adoção do comportamento de “permanecer em distanciamento social” no Brasil. O trabalho apresenta as implicações práticas, as limitações da pesquisa e as possibilidades de estudos futuros sobre a IPDS.

“…Scores at the level of 44-62 points are assessed as average, and above 63 points as high. The questionnaire is a commonly used tool considered to have very good psychometric properties (α-Cronbach coefficient = 0.80) [9,17,18]. It is used with various clinical groups, including people with schizophrenia [19].…”

“…Otrzymane wyniki na poziomie 44-62 punktów oceniane są jako średnie, a te uzyskane powyżej 63 punktów traktowane są jako będące na poziomie wysokim. Kwestionariusz jest powszechnie używanym narzędziem, które posiada bardzo dobre właściwości psychometryczne (współczynnik α Cronbacha = 0,80) [9,17,18]. Jest to narzędzie stosowane także w grupach klinicznych, w tym u osób chorych na schizofrenię [19].…”

Introduction: Worrying is a cognitive process observed both in healthy people and those who suffer from mental disorders. The analyses of its relevance to coping with difficult situations can be found in the literature but there is little information on its significance and extent in the lives of people who suffer from schizophrenia. Purpose: The aim of the study was to define the prevalence of worrying and its relationship to the social functioning of people suffering from schizophrenia, compared to the worrying experienced by healthy subjects. Methods: The study involved 37 patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (ICD-10), currently hospitalized in rehabilitation day wards, and 38 healthy subjects. The following research tools were used: the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), the Social Functioning Questionnaire, and the Global Assessment of Functioning and Socio-demographic Background Questionnaire. The control group comprised healthy subjects matched for age and sex with the clinical group of patients with schizophrenia. Results: The degree of worrying exhibited by people with schizophrenia differed from that obtained in the analysis of healthy subjects. The difference occurred at the level of statistical tendency. The worrying experienced by people in the clinical group was related to various areas of functioning: social functioning, communication, building interpersonal relationships or effective ways of spending leisure time. Conclusions: Our results show a statistical tendency towards people with schizophrenia worrying more often than people in the control group. A significant and negative covariance was noted in the clinical group between the tendency to worry, communication skills and building interpersonal relationships as well as effective leisure time management. StreszczenieWstęp: Martwienie się jest procesem poznawczym obserwowanym zarówno u osób zdrowych, jak u osób z zaburzeniami psychicznymi. W literaturze przedmiotu podkreśla się jego znaczenie w procesie radzenia sobie z sytuacjami trudnymi. Niewiele jest informacji o znaczeniu i rozmiarze tego zjawiska w życiu osób chorych na schizofrenię. Cel: Celem badania była próba określenia rozmiaru zjawiska martwienia się i jego związków z funkcjonowaniem społecznym osób chorych na schizofrenię, w porównaniu z martwieniem się osób zdrowych. Metody: W badaniu wzięło udział 37 pacjentów, aktualnie hospitalizowanych w oddziałach dziennych rehabilitacyjnych, z rozpoznaną schizofrenią (ICD-10) oraz 38 osób zdrowych. Zastosowano następujące narzędzia badawcze: Kwestionariusz Oceny Martwienia się (Penn State Worry Questionnaire -PSWQ), Skalę Funkcjonowania Społecznego (Global Assessment of Functioning -GAF), Kwestionariusz Danych Społeczno-Demograficznych. Osoby zdrowe stanowiły grupę kontrolną, zbliżoną wiekiem oraz podziałem ze względu na płeć do składu grupy klinicznej -chorych na schizofrenię. Wyniki: Wyniki osób chorych na schizofrenię różnią się od wyników osób zdrowych pod względem poziomu martwienia się i różnica ta występuje na poziomie tenden...
