Abstract(s)
Apesar do aumento significativo do interesse no estudo de problemas de saúde mental
em atletas de elite, ainda existe uma elevada escassez no desenvolvimento de
instrumentos de medida dirigidos a esta população, considerando os seus fatores de
risco, que permitam auxiliar na deteção precoce de sintomatologia psicopatológica.
Deste modo, o principal objetivo do estudo foi proceder à tradução e validação
preliminar para a população portuguesa de um instrumento de rastreio ao nível da
saúde mental desenvolvido para atletas de elite, o APSQ. A amostra recolhida foi
composta por 103 participantes, c0m um valor médio de idade de 22.31, que
responderam aos seguintes instrumentos: questionário sociodemográfico, APSQ, K10 e
WEMWBS. Os instrumentos foram disseminados online, através de um formulário de
autorresposta, tendo sido obtidos os seguintes resultados: 65% da amostra apresenta
alguma forma de sintomatologia psicopatológica; a análise de consistência interna
revelou um alpha de Cronbach satisfatório; a análise fatorial exploratória produziu uma
solução tri-fatorial, com propriedades de confiabilidade adequados. Além disso, foi
possível confirmar a validade de construto convergente e divergente do APSQ, com o
estudo do grau de associação entre o APSQ e o K10 e entre o APSQ e o WEMWBS. Por
fim, o APSQ demonstra ter boas qualidades psicométricas, podendo ser utilizado como
medida válida para a deteção precoce de sintomas psicopatológicos em atletas de elite
portugueses. É de salientar que os resultados relativos à confiabilidade e estrutura
fatorial do APSQ incluídos no presente trabalho foram apresentados, em conferência
livre, nas 2as Conferências Internacionais em PCS da UBI.
Despite the significant increase of the interest in the study of mental health problems in elite athletes, there is still a high scarcity in the development of measurement instruments aimed at this population, considering their risk factors, which allow to assist in the early detection of psychopathological symptoms. Thus, the main objective of the study was to proceed to the translation and preliminary validation of a mental health screening instrument developed for elite athletes, the APSQ, for the Portuguese population. The collected sample consisted of 103 participants, with an average age of 22.31, who answered the following instruments: sociodemographic questionnaire, APSQ, K10 and WEMWBS. The instruments were disseminated online, through a selfresponse form, with the following results being obtained: 65% of the sample has mental health problems; the internal consistency analysis revealed a satisfactory Cronbach's alpha; exploratory factor analysis produced a three-factor solution, with adequate reliability properties. In addition, it was possible to confirm the convergent and divergent construct validity of the APSQ, with the study of the degree of association between the APSQ and the K10 and between the APSQ and the WEMWBS. Finally, the APSQ demonstrates to have good psychometric qualities and can be used as a valid measure for the early detection of psychopathological symptoms in portuguese elite athletes. It should be noted that the results relating to the reliability and factorial structure of the APSQ included in the present work were presented, in a conference, at the 2nd International Conferences on PCS at UBI.
