Effects of the Promoting-Children Intervention with Multiple Informants: An Experimental Study / Efeitos do Promove-Crianças por Múltiplos Informantes: Um Estudo Experimental / Efectos de Promueve-Niños de Múltiples Informantes: Un Estudio Experimental

Abstract Behavior problems are frequent in school-age children; however, few controlled studies have assessed the effects of social skills interventions with this population, especially involving different informants and environments. This study aimed to describe the effects of the Promoting-Children intervention in an experimental group design with children (Experimental Group and Control Group), utilizing various probes and informants, regarding the children's behaviors before and after the intervention, a follow-up evaluation (social skills, behavior problems, academic performance) and assessment of the teachers and parents' positive and negative educational practices. Teachers and parents/guardians responded to standardized instruments to measure educational social skills, negative practices, behavior problems, and social skills with various probes. The results demonstrated a reduction in behavior problems and negative practices, as well as an increase in social skills and educational social skills, in both the school and family environments, after the interventions in the Experimental Group, whereas no such changes were observed in the Control Group. This confirms the positive effects of the efficacy and effectiveness of the Promoting-Children intervention.

Resumo Problemas de comportamento são frequentes em crianças em idade escolar, mas há poucos estudos controlados para aferir efeitos de intervenções em habilidades sociais com essa população, especialmente com diferentes informantes e ambientes. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever efeitos da intervenção Promove-Crianças, em um delineamento experimental de grupo com crianças (Grupos Experimental e Controle), com diferentes sondas e informantes, sobre os comportamentos das crianças antes e após a intervenção, incluindo avaliação de seguimento (habilidades sociais, problemas de comportamento, desempenho acadêmico) e práticas educativas positivas e negativas de seus professores e familiares. Professores e pais/responsáveis responderam a instrumentos padronizados para mensurar habilidades sociais educativas, práticas negativas, problemas de comportamento e habilidades sociais, nas diferentes sondas. Os resultados demonstraram, nos ambientes escolar e familiar, redução de problemas de comportamento e de práticas negativas e aumento das habilidades sociais e habilidades sociais educativas após as intervenções no Grupo Experimental, não ocorrendo no Grupo Controle. Atesta-se efeitos positivos de eficácia e de efetividade do Promove-Crianças.

Efeitos de uma Intervenção Psicológica no Estresse, Ansiedade, Concentração e Desempenho Físico em Bailarinas / Effects of Psychological Intervention on Stress, Anxiety, Concentration and Physical Performance in Dancers

Bailarinos sofrem pressões por bons desempenhos, tendo em vista que ao nível profissional sua prática é performática e exige resultados. Assim, avaliar e intervir com essa população é necessário. Objetivou-se avaliar os possíveis efeitos de uma intervenção psicológica nos níveis de estresse, ansiedade, concentração e desempenho físico de bailarinas adultas. Participaram do estudo onze bailarinas com idade entre 18 e 23 anos, que competiam nacional e internacionalmente na modalidade Jazz. Foram realizadas 14 sessões com duração média de 50 minutos cada, uma vez por semana. Trabalhou-se com psicoeducação, estabelecimento de metas, controle de estresse, ansiedade, atenção e concentração, entre outros. Por meio de testes específicos (Escala de Percepção de Estresse, Teste de Ansiedade de Competição Esportiva, Teste de Atenção Seletiva e desempenho físico através de banca julgadora), aplicados antes e após a intervenção, percebeu-se melhora da ansiedade e concentração, assim como de aspectos do desempenho físico, como qualidade técnica, tempo musical e performance geral. Ressalta-se a importância do acompanhamento psicológico, desde a avaliação até a intervenção, não apenas para melhorar o desempenho, mas também a saúde e qualidade de vida desta população.

Dancers are pressured by good performances, considering that at a professional level their practice is performative and requires results. Thus, evaluating and intervening with this population is necessary. The aim was to evaluate the possible effects of a psychological intervention on the levels of stress, anxiety, concentration and physical performance of adult dancers. Eleven dancers, aged between 18 and 23 years, who competed nationally and internationally in the Jazz modality, took part in the study. There were 14 weekly sessions with an average duration of 50 minutes each. We worked with psychoeducation, goal setting, stress control, anxiety, attention and concentration, among others. Through the specific tests (Stress Perception Scale, Sports Competition Anxiety Test, Selective Attention Test and physical performance through a judging panel), applied before and after the intervention, an improvement in anxiety and concentration was noticed, through the previously mentioned tests, as well as in aspects of physical performance, such as technical quality, musical time and general performance. The importance of psychological monitoring is emphasized, from evaluation to intervention, not only to improve performance, but also the health and quality of life of this population.

Practitioners' perspectives on preparing for and delivering remote psychological support in Nepal, Perú and the United States during COVID-19.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has propelled a global paradigm shift in how psychological support is delivered. Remote delivery, through phone and video calls, is now commonplace around the world. However, most adoption of remote delivery methods is occurring without any formal training to ensure safe and effective care. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this applied qualitative study was to determine practitioners' experiences of rapidly adapting to deliver psychological support remotely during COVID-19. DESIGN: We used a pragmatic paradigm and applied approach to gain perspectives related to the feasibility and perceived usefulness of synchronous remote psychological support, including views on how practitioners can be prepared. METHODS: Key informant interviews were conducted remotely with 27 specialist and non-specialist practitioners in Nepal, Perú and the USA. Interviewees were identified through purposeful sampling. Data were analysed using framework analysis. RESULTS: Respondents revealed three key themes: (i) Remote delivery of psychological support raises unique safety concerns and interference with care, (ii) Remote delivery enhances skills and expands opportunities for delivery of psychological support to new populations, and (iii) New training approaches are needed to prepare specialist and non-specialist practitioners to deliver psychological support remotely. CONCLUSIONS: Remote psychological support is feasible and useful for practitioners, including non-specialists, in diverse global settings. Simulated remote role plays may be a scalable method for ensuring competency in safe and effective remotely-delivered care.

Intervención psicológica corta para promoción del enfrentamiento de los estresores en la enseñanza universitaria / Intervenção psicológica breve para promoção do enfrentamento dos estressores no ensino superior / Brief psychologycal intervention for the promotion of ways to cope with stressors in higher education

O ingresso no Ensino Superior inclui estressores variados para o estudante e a literatura aponta a necessidade de intervenções para facilitar a adaptação à universidade. A oficina de vivências acadêmicas, uma intervenção psicológica breve (8 sessões) de base analítico-comportamental, buscou desenvolver repertórios para o enfrentamento dos estressores presentes no Ensino Superior. Participaram 9 acadêmicas de enfermagem, que após consentimento, responderam antes e após a participação na oficina: 1) o Self-Reporting Questionnaire, versão brasileira, um instrumento de triagem de sintomas relacionados a transtornos mentais comuns (TMC); e 2) a Escala de Bem-estar Psicológico (EBEP). Inicialmente, 88,9% das participantes apresentavam sintomas de TMC, e a média da EBEP foi 24,97 (DP=1,22). Após a intervenção, somente 22,2% das estudantes continuaram apresentando sintomas de TMC, e a média da EBEP aumentou para 29,34 (DP=1,17). As implicações dessa intervenção são discutidas tendo em vista os desafios enfrentados pela Psicologia Escolar e Educacional no Ensino Superior.

Programas parentais para prevenção de maus-tratos infantis: análise de revisões sistemáticas / Parenting programs for the prevention of child maltreatment: analysis of systematic reviews / Programas parentales para la prevención del maltrato infantil: análisis de revisiones sistemáticas

El maltrato infantil es prevalente en el entorno familiar. Por lo tanto, se implementan programas para padres para combatirlo. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar revisiones sistemáticas que evaluaron los efectos de programas parentales en la prevención del maltrato infantil. Se realizó una revisión integradora de la literatura según PRISMA. Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases Web of Science, PsycInfo, Ebsco, Lilacs y SciELO. Se recuperaron 54 artículos y 14 fueron incluidos. Se identificó como consenso los resultados favorables de los programas para reducir los síntomas y el maltrato infantil y aumentar las prácticas pa-rentales positivas. Las controversias fueron el formato y la base teórica de los programas. Como brechas, los estudios indican la necesidad de investigación en países de ingresos bajos y medianos e inversiones en metodologías más robustas y longitudinales. Se concluye que un trabajo de intervención dirigido a los padres puede ser una forma prometedora de prevenir el maltrato infantil

Os maus-tratos infantis têm alta prevalência no ambiente familiar. Assim, programas destinados aos pais são implementados para combatê-los. Este estudo objetivou analisar revisões sistemáticas que avaliaram os efeitos de programas parentais na prevenção de maus-tratos infantis. Conduziu-se uma revisão inte-grativa da literatura conforme o modelo PRISMA. Uma busca nas bases de dados Web of Science, PsycInfo, Ebsco, Lilacs e SciELO foi realizada.

Content validity and perceived utility of a self-help online acceptance and commitment therapy program focused on repetitive negative thinking.

Telehealth strategies have become essential for responding to the sanitary emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, developing online psychological interventions (OPIs) that can treat and prevent psychological difficulties is gaining more relevance. This article describes an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) based OPI focused on repetitive negative thinking (RNT). This OPI is called Disentangled, Aware, and Committed (DAC) and represents an attempt to adapt previous RNT-focused ACT protocols to this format type. Study 1 evaluated content validity through the assessment of four experts in ACT regarding clarity, utility, pertinence, conceptual adjustment, and therapeutic goal fulfillment for each component of the DAC program. In Study 2, forty-one undergraduate clinical psychology trainees rated the components of the DAC program according to its clarity and perceived utility. These participants were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial that analyzed the efficacy of the DAC to prevent the usually observed increase in emotional symptoms and RNT among this population. Expert reviewers in Study 1 rated all DAC components as clear and useful for potential users, following a logical order, theoretically coherent with the ACT model, and successfully fulfilling its stated goals. In Study 2, the participants also rated the DAC components as clear and potentially useful for their lives. In conclusion, the DAC appears to be a feasible transdiagnostic OPI for treating and preventing emotional symptoms, which warrants further studies analyzing its efficacy.

Improvement was observed in comprehension χ1= 21.00, χ2=30.20 (x2=9.63; p=.025) and emotional regulation χ1= 28.40 χ2=33.00, (x2=7.77; p=.050). The patients reduced their body weight, improved their eating habits by introducing fruit and vegetables daily and included physical activity in their daily routine, performing 20 to 30 minutes a day. From the objective clinical change, a positive change was observed in the variables addressed in treatment in all the participants. Conclusions: The online multidisciplinary intervention was effective in the treatment of BED in women.

Virtual Clinical Listening Groups for Psychological Intervention With University Students in the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The pandemic has affected people's mental health and university students are considered one of the most vulnerable groups, encouraging the development of psychological interventions that can minimize the suffering and illness of this public. Among the possibilities of intervention, virtual clinical listening groups were created which, during the period of social isolation, had the purpose of opening up a listening space for university students suffering from emotional distress. The focus of the group meetings was how university students were experiencing the pandemic, as well as the consequences of this experience. In this article, we discuss virtual clinical listening groups as a form of psychological intervention in the mental health care of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic at a university in northeastern Brazil. This is a qualitative study that began with 274 university students and 5 psychologists who facilitated the listening groups. We used as instruments the registration forms, the participation records of the virtual clinical listening groups and the field diaries written by the facilitators after each meeting. We described in the results the collected data and, from the field diaries, the themes that emerged in the various meetings were listed and analyzed in dialogue with the literature. At the end of the psychological screening process, 117 students participated in the 17 organized groups, with an average of 8 university students per group. Among the main motivations for participating in virtual clinical listening groups, we highlight: the desire to share experiences, a search for control of anxiety, depression and stress, care for mental health, a willingness to promote listening to psychological support for themselves and for others, and self-knowledge. We discuss the nuances in the process of forming the listening groups and the characteristics of the participants, as well as a central element of the group process, which is the establishment of bonds and mutual help among the participants. Feeling vulnerable and the fear of contamination is an element of suffering and, above all, of stress experienced by university students. The group presented itself as an alternative of mutual care in the pandemic context.

Eficacia de un programa para disminuir conductas sexuales de riesgo en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres / Efficacy of a program to reduce sexual risk behaviors in men who have sex with men

Resumen Antecedentes: las infecciones de transmisión sexual son un problema de salud pública y los programas para reducir su contagio se abordan mayoritariamente por el enfoque de riesgos y no desde una intervención integral. Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia del programa de intervención biográfico profesional con técnicas cognitivas conductuales para disminuir las conductas sexuales de riesgo en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH). Método: se aplicó un diseño cuasi experimental con pretest y postest de dos bloques. El primer bloque se conformó por HSH con alguna infección de transmisión sexual (ITS), 9 en el grupo experimental y 8 en el de control; mientras que, en el segundo bloque, los HSH no presentaron ITS y hubo 11 en ambos grupos. Los participantes respondieron a una escala ad-hoc, cuya validez y confiabilidad fueron evaluadas previamente. Resultados: existen diferencias entre el pretest y postest del grupo experimental y de control, con un tamaño de efecto grande, a favor del grupo experimental. Conclusiones: el programa reduce las conductas sexuales de riesgo en HSH; sin embargo, en quienes padecen alguna ITS, las conductas disminuyeron, sin extinguirse.

Abstract Background: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a public health problem and the programs to reduce their transmission are mostly addressed from the risk approach and not from a comprehensive intervention. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a biographical-professional intervention program with cognitive behavioral techniques to reduce sexual risk behaviors in men who have sex with men (MSM). Method: A two-group pretest-posttest quasi- experimental design was used in the research. The first group consisted of MSM with an STD, nine of whom were in the experimental group and eight in the control group, whereas the second group consisted of MSM with no STD distributed into two groups of 11 men each. The participants answered the questions of an ad hoc scale, whose validity and reliability were previously evaluated. Results: Differences between the experimental and control groups' pretests and posttests were found, with the experimental group showing a large effect size. Conclusions: The program reduces sexual risk behaviors in MSM; however, in those who suffer from any STD, such behaviors decreased but did not disappear.

An Overview of Psychological Interventions on Breast Cancer Patients: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Introduction: Psychological morbidities are common in breast cancer patients. Clinical conditions like depression, cognitive alterations, anxiety, distress, fear of cancer, sleep disorders, and fatigue may persist in cancer survivors. Therefore, psychological interventions are an essential treatment for breast cancer. Objective: To identify psychological interventions and psychological outcomes for women with breast cancer. Methods: Five databases were searched: EMBASE, ScienceDirect, MEDLINE (Ovid), CENTRAL (Ovid) y PsycINFO (APA PsyNET), from Jan 2014 to Jun 4th, 2018. Two authors reviewed all title articles and abstracts in databases and selected potentially eligible studies. A narrative synthesis of results was used due to the heterogeneity in randomized controlled trials, population characteristics, psychotherapies applied, outcomes, and timing of assessments. Results: This overview included 14 randomized controlled trials which comprise 1914 participants (included non-metastatic and metastatic), across 21 articles. The most common psychological interventions were cognitive-behavioral based. The principal psychological outcomes assessed were depression, quality of life, fatigue, and anxiety. Conclusion: Results from this review are useful to clarify an overview of intervention in psychological morbidities in breast cancer. Comorbidities vary, contribute costs to patients, and there is insufficient empirical evidence about psychotherapies to resolve all psychological morbidities in breast cancer patients.

Introducción: Las morbilidades psicológicas son comunes en pacientes con cáncer de mama. Condiciones clínicas como depresión, alteraciones cognitivas, ansiedad, angustia, miedo al cáncer, trastornos del sueño y fatiga pueden persistir en sobrevivientes de cáncer. Por ello, las intervenciones psicológicas son relevantes durante el tratamiento en el cáncer de mama. Objetivo: Identificar intervenciones y resultados psicológicos para mujeres con cáncer de mama. Métodos: Se buscaron en cinco bases de datos: EMBASE, ScienceDirect, MEDLINE (Ovid), CENTRAL (Ovid) y PsycINFO (APA PsyNET), de enero de 2014 al 4 de junio de 2018. Dos autores revisaron todos los artículos en bases de datos y seleccionaron estudios potencialmente elegibles. Se utilizó una síntesis narrativa de los resultados debido a la heterogeneidad en ensayos controlados aleatorios, características de la población, psicoterapias aplicadas, resultados y tiempo de las evaluaciones. Resultados: Este resumen incluyó 14 ensayos controlados aleatorios que comprometen a 1914 participantes (incluidos no metastásicos y metastásicos) en 21 artículos. Las intervenciones psicológicas más comunes fueron basadas en el comportamiento cognitivo. Los principales resultados psicológicos evaluados fueron la depresión, la calidad de vida, la fatiga y la ansiedad. Conclusión: Los resultados de esta revisión son útiles para aclarar una visión general de la intervención en morbilidades psicológicas en el cáncer de mama. Las comorbilidades varían, contribuyen con costos a los pacientes y no hay suficiente evidencia empírica sobre psicoterapias para resolver todas las morbilidades psicológicas en la mujer con cáncer de mama.

The ABCDE psychological first aid intervention decreases early PTSD symptoms but does not prevent it: results of a randomized-controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Early Psychological First Aid (PFA) has been widely recommended for preventing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, its lack of empirical evidence of safety and effectiveness has been criticized. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of PFA-ABCDE, an original PFA protocol, for preventing PTSD one month after the intervention and decreasing PTSD symptoms at one and six months of follow up. METHODS: We assessed the eligibility of 1,140 adult survivors of recent trauma (≤ 72 hours) consulting five emergency departments in Chile. Two hundred twenty-one were randomized to receive either PFA-ABCDE (active listening, breathing retraining, categorization of needs, referral to ancillary services, and psychoeducation) or only psychoeducation. We used the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) to assess PTSD diagnosis. The Posttraumatic Checklist (PCL), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and a 0-10 points analogue visual scale were used to assess PTSD symptoms, depressive symptoms, and immediate distress relief after the intervention. RESULTS: We found no difference between the experimental and control groups in the frequency of PTSD one month after the intervention (PFA-ABCDE = 23/76 [30.3%], psychoeducation = 18/75 [24.0%], adjusted odds ratio = 1.39, 95% confidence interval = 0.63-3.07, p = .408). Immediately after the intervention, participants who received PFA-ABCDE reported greater distress relief (PFA-ABCDE mean = 9.06, psychoeducation mean = 8.55, Cohen's d = 0.30, p = .038). Fewer PTSD symptoms were reported by those who received PFA-ABCDE one month after the intervention (PFA-ABCDE mean = 36.26, psychoeducation mean = 43.62, Cohen's d = 0.42, p = .033). We found no difference in depressive symptoms at one-month follow up (p = .713) nor in PTSD symptoms six months after the intervention (p = .986). CONCLUSIONS: PFA-ABCDE does not prevent PTSD diagnosis, but it provides immediate distress relief and decreases PTSD symptoms in the short term.

Antecedentes: Los Primeros Auxilios Psicológicos (PAP) han sido recomendados para prevenir el Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) en supervivientes de trauma. A pesar de su popularidad, la escasez de evidencia empírica sobre su seguridad y efectividad ha sido criticada.Objetivos: Evaluar la efectividad de los PAP-ABCDE, un protocolo original de PAP, para prevenir el TEPT al mes de seguimiento y disminuir los síntomas de TEPT luego de uno y seis meses de seguimiento.Métodos: Evaluamos elegibilidad de 1.140 adultos supervivientes de trauma reciente (≤ 72 horas) que consultaron cinco servicios de urgencia en Chile. Doscientos veintiún fueron aleatorizados a recibir PAP-ABCDE (escucha activa, reentrenamiento de la respiración, categorización de necesidades, derivación a redes de apoyo, y psicoeducación) o sólo psicoeducación. Utilizamos la Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) para evaluar el diagnóstico de TEPT. La Posttraumatic Checklist (PCL), la Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), y una escala visual análoga de 0-10 puntos fueron utilizadas para evaluar síntomas de TEPT, síntomas depresivos, y alivio inmediato de distrés luego de la intervención.Resultados: No encontramos diferencia entre el grupo experimental y el grupo control en la frecuencia de TEPT un mes después de la intervención (PAP-ABCDE = 23/76 [30,3%], psicoeducación = 18/75 [24,0%], odds ratio ajustado = 1,39, intervalo de confianza 95% = 0,63-3,07, p = ,408). Inmediatamente después de la intervención los participantes que recibieron PAP-ABCDE reportaron un mayor alivio de distrés (media en PAP = 9,06, media en psicoeducación = 8,55, d de Cohen = 0,30, p = ,038). Menos síntomas de TEPT fueron reportados un mes después de la intervención por aquellos que recibieron PAP-ABCDE (media de PAP-ABCDE = 36,26, media de psicoeducación = 43,62, d de Cohen = 0,42, p = ,033). No encontramos diferencias en síntomas depresivos al mes de seguimiento (p = ,713) ni en síntomas de TEPT seis meses después de la intervención (p = ,986).Conclusiones: Los PAP-ABCDE no previenen el diagnóstico de TEPT, pero brindan alivio inmediato del distrés y disminuyen la severidad de los síntomas del TEPT en el corto plazo.

Conclusion Cognitive-behavioral therapy can be very promising to take care of the emotional side of those who have endometriosis However, the present systematic review highlights the need to develop more structured studies with consistent, clear and replicablemethods to reach a psychological intervention protocol for patients who live with this gynecological-physical-emotional condition.

Resumo Introdução A endometriose é uma doença inflamatória que afeta mulheres em idade reprodutiva, causando dor e possibilidade de infertilidade. A endometriose foi associada a baixa qualidade de vida e pesquisas mostram o impacto da endometriose emdiversas áreas da vida, justificando como tais pacientes têmmaior probabilidade de desenvolver depressão, ansiedade e estresse. Objetivo O objetivo da presente revisão sistemática foi explorar o campo da psicologia na endometriose, identificando estudos que usaram a técnica da terapia cognitiva comportamental como tratamento da endometriose e da dor pélvica crônica. Métodos As palavras chaves utilizadas foram Endometriose AND Terapia comportamental; Disciplinas e atividades comportamentais; Terapia cognitiva comportamental; Saúde mental; Técnicas psicológicas; Psicologia; Psicoterapia; Serviços de saúde mental, e a busca foi realizada nos bancos de dados PubMed / Medline, SCIELO, LILACS e CAPES. O estudo seguiu as diretrizes dos Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Metanálises (PRISMA, na sigla em inglês) e foram considerados todos os estudos cuja estratégia de intervenção utilizada estava relacionada à terapia cognitivocomportamental. Resultados Dos 129 artigos encontrados, somente 5 foram selecionados, e foi possível identificar que a intervenção psicológica cuja abordagem trouxe técnicas da terapia cognitivo-comportamental promoveu diminuição na sensação de dor, melhora nos escores de depressão e estresse e mudanças significativas em aspectos da qualidade de vida como vitalidade, funcionalidade física e social, bem-estar emocional, controle e autonomia. Conclusão A terapia cognitivo-comportamental pode ser muito promissora para o tratamento psicológico/emocional de quem tem endometriose. No entanto, a presente revisão sistemática destaca a necessidade de desenvolver estudos mais estruturados com métodos consistentes, claros e replicáveis para se chegar a um protocolo de intervenção psicológica para pacientes que convivem com esse quadro ginecológico-físico-emocional.

Eficácia Docente e Dificuldades Emocionais/Comportamentais Infantis: Resultados do Programa FAVA / Teaching Effectiveness and Children Emotional/Behavioral Difficulties: Outcomes from FAVA Program

Resumo Este estudo quase-experimental avaliou os resultados do programa FAcilitando o conVívio com Alunos - FAVA, destinado a professores do ensino fundamental I, visando a promoção da eficácia docente e a redução de problemas emocionais/comportamentais infantis, aferidos pela Escala de Avaliação das Crenças de Eficácia do Professor e pelo Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades, respectivamente. O FAVA contemplou a psicoeducação sobre o modelo cognitivo, o desenvolvimento socioemocional e a modificação de comportamentos. Comparação entre os grupos experimentais (GE1, que recebeu intervenção completa, e GE2, sem o modelo cognitivo) e o grupo de comparação evidenciou a promoção da eficácia pessoal docente (GE2) e a redução da percepção das dificuldades emocionais/comportamentais infantis (GE1). Ressalta-se a contribuição do modelo cognitivo e da aprendizagem socioemocional em intervenções com professores.

Abstract Through a quasi-experimental design, the results of FAcilitando o conVívio com Alunos - FAVA´s program for elementary school teachers, were evaluated, aiming at promoting teaching effectiveness and reducing child behavior problems, as measured by Teacher's Effectiveness Beliefs Scale and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, respectively. The FAVA contemplated psychoeducation about cognitive model, socioemotional development and behavior modification. The comparison between experimental groups (GE1 that received complete intervention and GE2 that did not have the cognitive model) and comparison group showed the promotion of teaching staff effectiveness (GE2) and the reduction in the perception of child behavioral difficulties (GE1). The contribution of the cognitive model and socioemotional learning in interventions with teachers is emphasized.
