Relação entre o Mobbing, Dimensões de Controlo da Personalidade e Burnout: estudo exploratório em estagiários curriculares na área da saúde
(ISMT, 2026-06) Ambrósio, Maria Leonor Sebastião Vilela Santos; Lopes, João Borges (Orientador)
Introdução: A formação na área da saúde é bastante exigente e emocionalmente desgastante, devido à junção clínica e académica, tornando os estagiários curriculares mais vulneráveis a desenvolver Burnout. Para além disso, características individuais podem aumentar o risco de desenvolver esta síndrome, como também o facto de sofrerem assédio moral por parte de colegas ou superiores hierárquicos. Objetivos: Objetivo geral: analisar as relações entre as variáveis de Mobbing e as dimensões de controlo de personalidade associadas ao Burnout em estagiários curriculares da área da saúde. Objetivos específicos: 1- avaliar os resultados médios obtidos pelos participantes no âmbito das dimensões do estudo do Mobbing (Impedimento de poder comunicar, Restrições ao Relacionamento Interpessoal, Ofensas à Reputação e Dignidade, Ofensas em relação à qualidade Profissional e Situação de Vida e Exigências que afetam a Saúde do Individuo); 2- identificar as principais dimensões de personalidade (Escalas de Validade/Dimensões de Controlo e Escalas Clínicas/Dimensões de Personalidade); 3- correlacionar as variáveis de Mobbing e as dimensões de controlo da personalidade com as dimensões de Burnout (Exaustão Emocional, Despersonalização/Cinismo e Realização profissional/Eficácia); 4- identificar fatores preditivos da dimensão de controlo da personalidade em relação ao Mobbing. Métodos: A amostra foi constituída por 60 estagiários curriculares de diferentes áreas da saúde, de ambos os sexos e com idade superior a 18 anos. Todos os participantes responderam aos instrumentos (Questionário Sociodemográfico, MBI, Mini-Mult e EPM) de forma online, através do Google Forms, com prévio consentimento informado. Os dados recolhidos foram tratados com recurso do programa IBM SPSS Stastistic, versão 30.0, sendo que apenas o investigador teve acesso aos dados. Resultados: A matriz das correlações mostrou associações positivas entre as diferentes variáveis de estudo, realçando uma correlação muito elevada entre as variáveis Coerção/Defensividade e Psicastenia. Procedeu-se também a uma regressão linear entre as variáveis das dimensões da personalidade em relação ao Mobbing, onde é visível que as variáveis Psicastenia, Hipocondria, Paranoia, Depressão, Desvio Psicopático, Infrequência, Histeria e Mentira são fatores preditores de Mobbing. Conclusão: Os resultados confirmam que o Burnout, o Mobbing e os traços de personalidade estão interligados de forma consistente entre os estagiários curriculares da área da saúde, sendo assim, existe a necessidade de ambientes de estágio mais supervisionados, estruturados e emocionalmente seguros para os nossos estagiários, bem como dar importância a estratégias institucionais de prevenção, apoio psicológico adequado e promoção de bem estar para reduzir o impacto emocional nos estagiários e proteger a saúde mental dos mesmos. | Introduction: Training in the health field is quite demanding and emotionally draining, due to the combination of clinical and academic aspects, making curricular interns more vulnerable to developing burnout. In addition, individual characteristics can increase the risk of developing this syndrome, as can the fact of suffering moral harassment from colleagues or hierarchical superiors. Objectives: General objective: to analyze the relationships between mobbing variables and personality control dimensions associated with burnout in curricular interns in the health field. Specific objectives: 1- to evaluate the average results obtained by the participants within the scope of the dimensions of the mobbing study (Impediment to the ability to communicate, Restrictions on Interpersonal Relationships, Offenses to Reputation and Dignity, Offenses regarding Professional Quality and Life Situation, and Demands that affect the Individual's Health); 2- to identify the main personality dimensions (Validity Scales/Control Dimensions and Clinical Scales/Personality Dimensions); 3- Correlate the variables of Mobbing and the dimensions of personality control with the dimensions of Burnout (Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization/Cynicism, and Professional Achievement/Effectiveness); 4- Identify predictive factors of the personality control dimension in relation to Mobbing. Methods: The sample consisted of 60 curricular interns from different health areas, of both sexes and over 18 years of age. All participants answered the instruments (Sociodemographic Questionnaire, MBI, Mini-Mult and EPM) online, through Google Forms, with prior informed consent. The collected data were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistical program, version 30.0, and only the researcher had access to the data. Results: The correlation matrix showed positive associations between the different study variables, highlighting a very high correlation between the variables Coercion/Defensiveness and Psychasthenia. A linear regression was also performed between the personality dimension variables in relation to Mobbing, where it is visible that the variables Psychasthenia, Hypochondria, Paranoia, Depression, Psychopathic Deviation, Infrequency, Hysteria, and Lying are predictive factors for Mobbing. Conclusion: The results confirm that Burnout, Mobbing and personality traits are consistently interconnected among curricular interns in the health area, thus, there is a need for more supervised, structured and emotionally safe internship environments for our interns, as well as giving importance to institutional prevention strategies, adequate psychological support and promotion of well-being to reduce the emotional impact on interns and protect their mental health.

Sensibilidade ao Processamento Sensorial e Sofrimento Emocional: o papel mediador da flexibilidade psicológica
(ISMT, 2026-07) Ferreira, Camila Rodrigues; Pires, Cláudia (Orientadora)
A sensibilidade ao processamento sensorial tem sido associada a diferenças na forma como os indivíduos experienciam estímulos ambientais, estando relacionada com níveis mais elevados de sofrimento emocional. Paralelamente, a flexibilidade psicológica tem vindo a ser identificada como um processo associado à adaptação psicológica e à forma como os indivíduos respondem às suas experiências internas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a associação entre a sensibilidade ao processamento sensorial (SPS) e o sofrimento emocional, explorando o papel mediador da flexibilidade psicológica nesta relação. A amostra foi constituída por 384 adultos da população geral, com idades entre os 18 e os 78 anos (M = 31.89; DP = 14.14). A recolha de dados foi realizada através de um questionário sociodemográfico online que incluía a avaliação da sensibilidade ao processamento sensorial (Highly Sensitive Person Scale - Revised – HSPS-R), flexibilidade psicológica (Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes – CompACT) e sintomatologia emocional (Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress – EADS-21). Foram realizadas análises correlacionais e modelos de mediação, controlando o efeito do género e do diagnóstico clínico. Os resultados revelaram que níveis mais elevados de sensibilidade ao processamento sensorial estiveram associados a níveis inferiores de flexibilidade psicológica e a níveis superiores de sofrimento emocional. Por sua vez, níveis mais elevados de flexibilidade psicológica estiveram associados a níveis inferiores de depressão, ansiedade e stress. Os modelos de mediação evidenciaram efeitos indiretos estatisticamente significativos, sugerindo que a flexibilidade psicológica poderá constituir um processo relevante na associação entre sensibilidade ao processamento sensorial e sofrimento emocional. Contudo, o efeito direto permaneceu significativo em todos os modelos, sendo os resultados compatíveis com um padrão de mediação parcial. Conclui-se que a flexibilidade psicológica poderá representar uma dimensão relevante para compreender a associação entre sensibilidade ao processamento sensorial e sofrimento emocional, particularmente considerando diferentes níveis de vulnerabilidade clínica. Estes resultados reforçam a importância de considerar processos psicológicos associados à adaptação emocional na compreensão do funcionamento psicológico. | Sensitivity to sensory processing has been associated with differences in the way individuals experience environmental stimuli, which is related to higher levels of emotional distress. At the same time, psychological flexibility has been identified as a process associated with psychological adaptation and the way individuals respond to their internal experiences. The present study aimed to analyze the association between sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) and emotional distress, exploring the mediating role of psychological flexibility in this relationship. The sample consisted of 384 adults from the general population, aged between 18 and 78 years (M = 31.89; SD = 14.14). Data collection was carried out through an online sociodemographic questionnaire that included the assessment of sensitivity to sensory processing (Highly Sensitive Person Scale - Revised – HSPS-R), psychological flexibility (Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes – CompACT) and emotional symptomatology (Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale – EADS-21). Correlational analyses and mediation models were conducted, controlling for the effects of gender and clinical diagnosis. The results revealed that higher levels of sensory processing sensitivity were associated with lower levels of psychological flexibility and higher levels of emotional distress. In turn, higher levels of psychological flexibility were associated with lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The mediation models showed statistically significant indirect effects, suggesting that psychological flexibility may be a relevant process in the association between sensitivity to sensory processing and emotional distress. However, the direct effect remained significant in all models, and the results are consistent with a pattern of partial mediation. It is concluded that psychological flexibility may represent a relevant dimension for understanding the association between sensitivity to sensory processing and emotional distress, particularly when considering different levels of clinical vulnerability. These results reinforce the importance of considering psychological processes associated with emotional adaptation in understanding psychological functioning.

Challenges and Opportunities in Combining Physicalization with Augmented Reality: an exploratory case
(15th International Conference of the European Academy of Design, 2023-10) Costa, Nina; Marques, Ana Beatriz; Costa, Rui; Branco, Vasco
Data is the new “natural resource” of the 21st century. Recent years have witnessed its rapid expansion, increasing the production and availability of data. In this context, there are still significant challenges to fully realizing its potential, especially to make it accessible and more useful to the larger public. Considering design as an activity of cultural mediation and since “data has no naturally corresponding form”, we detail the process and challenges involved in combining different artifacts to support data visualization and exploration. “GRAC” combines a physicalization (physical object embedded with data) with an augmented reality application, enabling users to explore two datasets related to design education and design companies in Portugal. The artifact was tested with 21 people at the DesignOBS exhibition of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon and Porto. Based on participants’ feedback, we draw design implications for artifact integration; and propose future research directions.

Immersive Unit Visualization with Augmented Reality
(Multimodal Technologies and Interaction | MDPI, 2023-10-17) Marques, Ana Beatriz; Branco, Vasco; Costa, Rui; Costa, Nina
Immersive Unit Visualization is an emergent form of visualization that arose from Immersive Analytics where, unlike traditional visualizations, each data point is represented by an individual visual mark in an immersive virtual environment. This practice has focused almost exclusively on virtual reality, excluding augmented reality (AR). This article develops and tests a prototype of an Immersive Unit Visualization (Floating Companies II) with two AR devices: head-mounted display (HMD) and hand-held display (HHD). Results from the testing sessions with 20 users were analyzed through qualitative research analysis and thematic coding indicating that, while the HHD enabled a first contact with AR visualization on a familiar device, HMD improved the perception of hybrid space by supporting greater stability of virtual content, wider field of view, improved spatial perception, increased sense of immersion, and more realistic simulation, which had an impact on information reading and sense-making. The materialization of abstract quantitative values into concrete reality through its simulation in the real environment and the ludic dimension stand out as important opportunities for this type of visualization. This paper investigates the aspects distinguishing two experiences regarding data visualization in hybrid space, and characterizes ways of seeing information with AR, identifying opportunities to advance information design research.

Narrative Visualization with Augmented Reality
(Multimodal Technologies and Interaction | MDPI, 2022-11-26) Marques, Ana Beatriz; Branco, Vasco; Costa, Rui
The following study addresses, from a design perspective, narrative visualization using augmented reality (AR) in real physical spaces, and specifically in spaces with no semantic relation with the represented data. We intend to identify the aspects augmented reality adds, as narrative possibilities, to data visualization. Particularly, we seek to identify the aspects augmented reality introduces regarding the three dimensions of narrative visualization—view, focus and sequence. For this purpose, we adopted a comparative analysis of a set of fifty case studies, specifically, narrative visualizations using augmented reality from a journalistic scope, where narrative is a key feature. Despite the strong explanatory character that characterizes the set of analyzed cases, which sometimes limits the user’s agency, there is a strong interactive factor. It was found that augmented reality can expand the narrative possibilities in the three dimensions mentioned—view, focus and sequence—but especially regarding visual strategies where simulation plays an essential role. As a visual strategy, simulation can provide the context for communication or be the object of communication itself, as a replica.
