Abstract

A quasi-experimental trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of the Psychological Resources Program, an intervention to foster psychological resources for adults, on self-reported psychological-resources-related measures. Participant’s satisfaction with the intervention and program attrition were also specific aims. The Psychological Resources Program, which claims to be a preventive tool, aims to improve psychological resources. It consists of 10 weekly group sections that each last approximately 120 min. Before delivering the program, the intervention manual was translated from the original in Spanish to Brazilian Portuguese and facilitators were trained. Twenty-seven undergraduate students completed the program at university and were evaluated before, after, and at a three-month follow-up. The results showed that (a) perceived mood state improved week-by-week, and (b) improvement in positive affect [PANAS], gratitude [GQ–6], optimism [LOT—R], resilience [RS], general mental health [GHQ–12], assertiveness [E3], and satisfaction with life [SWLS], and decreases in perceived stress [PSS-14] and negative affect [PANAS] (effect sizes from 0.44 to 0.75). These changes, although attenuated, were maintained at the follow-up (3 months after the end of the intervention). The participant satisfaction with the program was high. The attrition rate (35%) was within the range expected for the type of intervention and context. The results support that the program represents a potential tool for prevention and health promotion in the university context. Continued evaluation of the intervention effects are recommended.

摘要

进行了一项半实验性试验，以评估心理资源计划（一种旨在培养成年人心理资源的干预措施）对自我报告的心理资源相关措施的影响。参与者对干预和计划减员的满意度也是特定的目标。心理资源计划声称是一种预防工具，旨在改善心理资源。它由10个每周小组组成，每个小组持续约120分钟。在交付该程序之前，将干预手册从西班牙语原文翻译为巴西葡萄牙语，并对培训人员进行了培训。二十七名本科生在大学完成了该课程，并在三个月的随访之前，之后和三个月进行了评估。结果表明：（a）感知的情绪状态每周都得到改善，（b）积极影响[PANAS]，感恩[GQ-6]，乐观[LOT-R]，复原力[RS]，一般性精神状态得到改善健康[GHQ-12]，自信[E3]和对生活的满意度[SWLS]，并降低感知压力[PSS-14]和负面影响[PANAS]（影响大小从0.44到0.75）。这些变化尽管减弱了，但在随访中（干预结束后3个月）得以维持。参与者对该计划的满意度很高。流失率（35％）在干预类型和环境的预期范围内。结果证明该计划是大学范围内预防和促进健康的一种潜在工具。建议继续评估干预效果。（b）积极情感[PANAS]，感恩[GQ-6]，乐观[LOT-R]，韧性[RS]，一般精神健康[GHQ-12]，自信[E3]和对生活的满意度[PANAS]有所改善SWLS]，并降低感知压力[PSS-14]和负面影响[PANAS]（影响大小从0.44到0.75）。这些变化尽管减弱了，但在随访中（干预结束后3个月）得以维持。参与者对该计划的满意度很高。流失率（35％）在干预类型和环境的预期范围内。结果证明该计划是大学范围内预防和促进健康的一种潜在工具。建议继续评估干预效果。（b）积极情感[PANAS]，感恩[GQ-6]，乐观[LOT-R]，韧性[RS]，一般精神健康[GHQ-12]，自信[E3]和对生活的满意度[PANAS]有所改善SWLS]，并降低感知压力[PSS-14]和负面影响[PANAS]（影响大小从0.44到0.75）。这些变化尽管减弱了，但在随访中（干预结束后3个月）得以维持。参与者对该计划的满意度很高。流失率（35％）在干预类型和环境的预期范围内。结果证明该计划是大学范围内预防和促进健康的潜在工具。建议继续评估干预效果。总体心理健康[GHQ-12]，自信[E3]和对生活的满意度[SWLS]，以及感知压力的减少[PSS-14]和负面影响[PANAS]（影响范围从0.44到0.75）。这些变化尽管减弱了，但在随访中（干预结束后3个月）得以维持。参与者对该计划的满意度很高。流失率（35％）在干预类型和环境的预期范围内。结果证明该计划是大学范围内预防和促进健康的一种潜在工具。建议继续评估干预效果。总体心理健康[GHQ-12]，自信[E3]和生活满意度[SWLS]，并降低了感知压力[PSS-14]和负面影响[PANAS]（影响范围从0.44到0.75）。这些变化尽管减弱了，但在随访中（干预结束后3个月）得以维持。参与者对该计划的满意度很高。流失率（35％）在干预类型和环境的预期范围内。结果证明该计划是大学范围内预防和促进健康的潜在工具。建议继续评估干预效果。尽管减弱，但在随访中（干预结束后3个月）予以维持。参与者对该计划的满意度很高。流失率（35％）在干预类型和环境的预期范围内。结果证明该计划是大学范围内预防和促进健康的潜在工具。建议继续评估干预效果。尽管减弱，但在随访中（干预结束后3个月）予以维持。参与者对该计划的满意度很高。流失率（35％）在干预类型和环境的预期范围内。结果证明该计划是大学范围内预防和促进健康的一种潜在工具。建议继续评估干预效果。
