Resumo: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric behaviour of the Portuguese version of the Inventory of Attitudes toward Seeking Mental Health Services (IAPSSM) when applied to a sample of women in the perinatal period. The participants (175 pregnant women or women during the postpartum period) answered a set of questionnaires (IAPSSM, General and Actual Help seeking Questionnaire, Depression Literacy Questionnaire, Emotion Regulation Difficulties Scale). The Confirmatory Factor Analysis supports the adequacy of the original three-dimensional model of the IAPSSM (Psychological Openness, Help- -Seeking Propensity, and Indifference to Stigma). The IAPSSM presents good convergent validity and fidelity, except for the dimension Psychological Openness. The results suggest that IAPSSM is a questionnaire with potential for use in research and clinical practice, allowing the identification of psychological (attitudinal) factors that influence women’s use of mental health services in the perinatal period.

As participantes (175 mulheres grávidas ou no período pós-parto) responderam a um conjunto de questionários (IAPSSM, Questionário de Intenções e Comportamentos de Procura de Ajuda, Questionário de Literacia sobre Depressão, Escala de Dificuldades de Regulação Emocional). A Análise Fatorial Confirmatória apoia a adequação do modelo tridimensional do IAPSSM (Abertura Psicológica, Propensão para a Procura de Ajuda e Indiferença ao Estigma). O IAPSSM apresenta bons indicadores de validade convergente e de fidelidade, à exceção da dimensão Abertura Psicológica. Os resultados sugerem que o IAPSSM é um instrumento com potencial de utilização na investigação e na prática clínica, permitindo a identificação de fatores psicológicos (atitudinais) que influenciem a utilização de serviços de saúde mental no período perinatal.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2017-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_60-2_4https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_60-2_4Psychologica; Vol. 60 No. 2 (2017); 65-81Psychologica; Vol. 60 N.º 2 (2017); 65-811647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_60-2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_60-2_4https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_60-2_4/3905Fonseca, AnaSilva, SheilaCanavarro, Maria Cristinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-31T13:59:37Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/4845Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:58:17.083971Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
