Resumo: | The present study examined the benefit of a transdiagnostic prevention program, Super Skills for Life – adolescent version (SSL-A), among adolescents with internalizing and externalizing problems in two types of school settings (mainstream school and pupil referral unit) using a randomized waitlist-controlled trial (RCT). The main aims were to examine the effects of the SSL-A in reducing internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescents, and to identify the moderating role of gender, age, and school type on the intervention outcome. The RCT involved 112 adolescents aged 11 to 14 years old, randomly allocated to either an SSL-A intervention group or a waitlist-control group (WLC). Adolescents in the intervention group participated immediately in the SSL-A, whereas adolescents in the WLC group received the intervention after the intervention group completed the six months follow-up assessment. Results showed that internalizing and externalizing problems were significantly reduced from pre-test to follow-up assessments. Gender, age and school setting moderated the intervention outcome. Specifically, males, younger adolescents and adolescents from mainstream schools showed a significant reduction over time on both internalizing and externalizing problems. Although SSL was designed to target internalizing problems, this study shows that it also had positive effects on adolescents with internalizing and externalizing problems. This study provides evidence for the benefits of a transdiagnostic prevention program for internalizing and externalizing problems in two types of school settings. |

Os objetivos principais consistiram em examinar os efeitos do SSL-A na redução de problemas internalizantes e externalizantes em adolescentes, e identificar o papel moderador do género, idade e tipo de escola nos resultados da intervenção. O RCT envolveu 112 adolescentes, entre os 11 e os 14 anos, distribuídos aleatoriamente para o grupo de intervenção SSL-A ou para o grupo de lista de espera. Os adolescentes do grupo de intervenção participaram imediatamente no programa SSL-A, enquanto os adolescentes do grupo de espera receberam a intervenção após o grupo de intervenção ter completado a avaliação do seguimento de seis meses. Os resultados mostraram que os problemas de internalização e externalização foram significativamente reduzidos do pré-teste para as avaliações de seguimento. O género, a idade e o tipo de escola moderaram os resultados da intervenção. Mais especificamente, rapazes, adolescentes mais novos e adolescentes de escolas convencionais mostraram uma redução significativa de problemas internalizantes e externalizantes ao longo do tempo. Embora o SSL tenha sido desenhado para os problemas de internalização, este estudo mostrou que o programa também teve efeitos positivos nos adolescentes com problemas de internalização e externalização.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2020-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_63-2_3https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_63-2_3Psychologica; Vol. 63 No. 2 (2020); 53-68Psychologica; Vol. 63 N.º 2 (2020); 53-681647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_63-2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9492https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9492/7144Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Psychologicahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAllan, SharonUzun, BilgeEssau, Cecilia A.2023-05-31T13:59:50Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/9492Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:59:00.051040Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
