Resumo

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as percepções de satisfação dos participantes sobre o APOLO-Teens e fatores comportamentais/psicológicos associados. O APOLO-Teens é um programa psicoeducacional, implementado no Facebook®, durante seis meses, como complemento ao tratamento hospitalar convencional para adolescentes com excesso de peso/obesidade. Participaram 52 adolescentes (71,2% do sexo feminino; M = 14,98 anos, DP = 1,63) que foram alvo do programa APOLO-Teens. Foram avaliados com recurso a medidas de autorrelato quanto à sintomatologia depressiva, qualidade de vida e comportamento alimentar no início, no meio (3 meses) e final da intervenção (6 meses) e preencheram o questionário que avaliou as percepções sobre a participação no programa de intervenção aos 6 meses. Em geral, os participantes revelaram percepções positivas e satisfação com o programa. As sessões de chat tiveram baixa adesão e a maioria dos participantes preferia uma intervenção mais curta. O tema preferido foi “atividade física” e o preterido “alimentação saudável”. Verificou-se uma correlação negativa entre satisfação com os resultados e sintomatologia depressiva e comportamento alimentar disfuncional. Como conclusões vale ressaltar alguns aspectos importantes: 1) reconsiderar a duração do programa e tornar as sessões de chat e o tema “alimentação saudável” mais atraentes; 2) priorizar a sintomatologia depressiva e os comportamentos alimentares disfuncionais como forma de otimizar a adesão a estas intervenções.
