PSYCHOLOGICAL DUTY FOCUSED ON PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY COMPLAINTS
Person-Centered Approach. Anxiety. Psychological duty. Action research.
The experience of suffering due to anxiety is the main complaint in the Psychological Duty service, however, there is a lack of production on the possible changes and the repercussions of these interventions on the client's life. The aim is to develop and evaluate person-centered interventions with five adult individuals with experience of anxiety on Psychological Duty. It is a convergent mixed methodology, with a qualitative emphasis, with a practical, action research design. The interventions will be developed in a Psychology teaching clinic in the interior of Bahia. The resources for generating information are: Sociodemographic Form; the Clinical Record Model for monitoring action; Person-Centered Psychological Duty Assessment Scale, to be developed and validated at the content level as a technical technological product; and a semi-structured follow-up interview, which will be carried out two months after the participant's last appointment. One to five consultations will be held with each participant, the sessions of which will be recorded and transcribed. To process and analyze the information, the empirical phenomenological method will be used to understand the participants' experiences of anxiety. This project is part of the Clinical Practices and Mental Health line of the professional master's degree in Health Psychology at the Federal University of Bahia and will be submitted to the Ethics Committee for Research with Human Beings at the same institution. It is hoped that this research will benefit the participants attended and that the results will contribute to improving the practice of psychological on-call services focused on people complaining of anxiety.
