António de Spínola e a Democracia Portuguesa: narrativas sobre o processo revolucionário
(Instituto de História e Teoria das Ideias da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra, 2024-05-21) Marie, Pierre
A presente proposta procura analisar a trajetória de António de Spínola após o seu regresso ao país em 1976. Figura aglutinadora da extrema-direita portuguesa, o antigo Presidente da República chefiou o Movimento Democrático de Libertação de Portugal e esteve ligado à onda de violência bombista que se alastrou nos anos 1975 e 1976. No entanto, após o seu regresso sem julgamento em agosto de 1976, Spínola foi reabilitado: reintegrado no Exército em 1978, nomeado Marechal em 1981 e Chanceler das Ordens Militares em 1987. Em 1984, Spínola presidiu a Comissão das Comemorações do 10º Aniversário do 25 de Abril, tornando-se assim o símbolo oficial da Revolução dos Cravos. A reabilitação da figura de António de Spínola pela democracia portuguesa exemplifica a invisibilização das violências de extrema-direita. Procurar-se-á questionar a memória atual do processo revolucionário e os silêncios que nela subsistem, com recurso a arquivos e a imprensa da época. | This proposal seeks to analyze the trajectory of António de Spínola. A unifying figure for the Portuguese extreme right, the former President of the Republic headed the Democratic Movement for the Liberation of Portugal and was linked to the wave of bombing violence that spread in 1975 and 1976. However, after his return without trial in August 1976, Spínola was rehabilitated: reinstated in the Army in 1978, appointed Marshal in 1981 and Chancellor of the Military Orders in 1987. In 1984, Spínola presided over the Commission for the Celebrations of the 10th Anniversary of the 25th of April, thus becoming the symbol of the Carnation Revolution. The rehabilitation of the figure of António de Spínola by Portuguese democracy exemplifies the invisibility of extreme right-wing violence. The article question the memory of the revolutionary process and the silences that remain.

Emotional Labor, Occupational Identity, and Work Engagement among Portuguese First Responders
(Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid, 2024-12-04) Oliveira, Soraia; Carvalho, Carla M. Santos de; Pinto, Ana L. Sousa; Gondim, Sonia M. Guedes
First responders, including police officers and firefighters, face emotionally intense, high-risk situations, necessitating effective emotional management to sustain work engagement and occupational identity. This study, grounded in emotional labor and social identity theories, analyzed data from 248 first responders to explore the impact of emotional labor on work engagement, with occupational identity as a mediator. Results showed that firefighters faced higher demands for positive emotion expression and reported greater occupational identity and work engagement than police officers. Positive emotion expression enhanced work engagement, while surface-acting and negative emotion suppression negatively affected both outcomes, particularly for police officers. Mediation analysis revealed occupational identity as a key mechanism linking emotional labor to work engagement. These findings highlight the stabilizing role of occupational identity in work engagement despite emotional labor demands. The study emphasizes the need for targeted and occupation-specific interventions among first responders to mitigate emotional exhaustion and sustain engagement. | Los equipos de intervención rápida, incluidos policías y bomberos, se enfrentan a situaciones emocionalmente intensas y de alto riesgo, lo que hace necesario un manejo emocional eficaz para mantener la implicación en el trabajo y la identidad ocupacional. Este estudio, basado en las teorías del trabajo emocional y la identidad social, analizó datos de 248 miembros de equipos de intervención rápida para explorar el impacto del trabajo emocional en la implicación en el trabajo, con la identidad ocupacional como mediadora. Los resultados indican que los bomberos se enfrentan a mayores exigencias para expresar emociones positivas y expresan mayor identidad ocupacional e implicación en el trabajo que los policías. La expresión de emociones positivas facilitó la implicación en el trabajo, mientras que la actuación superficial y la supresión de emociones negativas afectaron negativamente a ambos resultados, particularmente en los policías. El análisis de mediación pone de manifiesto que la identidad ocupacional es un mecanismo clave que conecta el trabajo emocional con la implicación en el trabajo. Estos hallazgos destacan el papel estabilizador de la identidad ocupacional en la implicación en el trabajo a pesar de las exigencias del trabajo emocional. El estudio subraya la necesidad de intervenciones específicas y adaptadas a cada ocupación en los miembros de equipos de intervención rápida para mitigar el agotamiento emocional y mantener la implicación en el trabajo.

eLIFEwithIBD: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial of an online acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion-based intervention in inflammatory bowel disease
(Frontiers, 2024-08-09) Ferreira, Cláudia; Pereira, Joana; Matos-Pina, Inês; Skvarc, David; Galhardo, Ana; Ferreira, Nuno; Carvalho, Sérgio A.; Lucena-Santos, Paola; Rocha, Bárbara S.; Oliveira, Sara; Portela, Francisco; Trindade, Inês A.
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) entails physical, psychological, and social burden and holds a significant impact on quality of life. Experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, shame, and self-criticism have been identified as possible therapeutic targets for improving mental health in people with IBD. Traditional face-to-face psychological therapy continues to provide obstacles for patients seeking assistance. Online psychological therapies centered on acceptance, mindfulness, and compassion have been shown to improve psychological distress in other populations. Objective: This paper presents the study protocol of a two-arm Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of an ACT and compassion-based, online intervention – eLIFEwithIBD - on the improvement of psychological distress, quality of life, work and social functioning, IBD symptom perception, illness-related shame, psychological flexibility, and self-compassion. Methods: The eLIFEwithIBD intervention is an adaptation of the LIFEwithIBD programme (delivered through an in-person group format) and entails an ACT, mindfulness, and compassion-based intervention designed to be delivered as an e-health tool for people with IBD. This protocol outlines the structure and contents of the eLIFEwithIBD intervention. Participants were recruited by an advertisement on the social media platforms of Portuguese Associations for IBD in January 2022. A psychologist conducted a brief interview with 80 patients who were interested in participating. Fifty-five participants were selected and randomly assigned to one of two conditions [experimental group (eLIFEwithIBD + medical TAU; n = 37) or control group (medical TAU; n = 18)]. Outcome measurement took place at baseline, post-intervention, and 4-month follow up. All analyses are planned as intent-to-treat (ITT). Results: The eLIFEwithIBD intervention is expected to empower people with IBD by fostering psychological strategies that promote illness adjustment and well-being and prevent subsequent distress. The eLIFEwithIBD aims to gain a novel and better understanding of the role of online contextual behavioral interventions on improving the quality of life and mental health of people with IBD.

Promoting Teachers’ Wellbeing Using a Compassionate Mind Training Intervention: exploring mechanisms of change
(Springer, 2024-05-17) Matos, Marcela; Galhardo, Ana; Palmeira, Lara; Albuquerque, Isabel; Cunha, Marina; Lima, Margarida Pedroso de; Maratos, Frances A.; Gilbert, Paul
Objectives The current study aimed to examine the mechanisms of change of a compassionate mind training intervention for teachers (CMT-T). In particular, we examined whether changes in the three flows of compassion, fears of compassion, and emotions at work (safe, drive, and threat) mediated the effects of the CMT-T in burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress, and in overall positive affect. Methods As part of a two-arm randomized controlled trial and a stepped-wedge design, the study included all participants who completed the 8-week CMT-T intervention either at Time 1 or at Time 2 (n = 103). At pre- and post-intervention, participants completed measures of compassion, fears of compassion, emotional climate in the workplace, burnout, psychopathological symptoms, and positive affect. Results Mediation analyses revealed that increases in the flows of compassion and reductions in fears of compassion from others mediated the effects of CMT-T on teachers' depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout levels. In the case of the reduction in stress symptoms from pre- to post-intervention, compassion for self, fears of self-compassion, and fears of receiving compassion from others emerged as significant mediators of this change. The three flows of compassion and fears of compassion (for self and from others) were significant mediators of the impact of CMT-T on changes in teachers’ anxiety levels from baseline to post-intervention. A decrease in fears of compassion from others and an increase in drive emotions mediated changes in depressive symptoms following CMT-T. Concerning burnout, all flows of compassion and fear of compassion from others mediated the changes from baseline to post-intervention. Changes in positive affect following CMT-T were mediated by increases in the flows of compassion, and emotions related to soothing-safeness and drive systems in the workplace. Serial mediational models showed that the effect of CMT-T on teachers’ burnout was partially mediated by reductions in fears of compassion (for self and from others) and stress. Conclusions CMT-T effectively improves teachers’ wellbeing and reduces burnout and psychological distress through the cultivation of their ability to experience, direct, and be open to compassion, and the strengthening of the soothing-safeness and the drive systems in the school context.
