Nonspecific Effects of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccine in Portuguese Children Under 5 Years of Age: Protocol for a Population-Based Historical Birth Cohort Study

In Portugal, BCG began to be routinely administered to all newborn children in 1965. Until 2016, a single BCG dose was administered to all newborns, typically before discharge from the maternity ward (most births in Portugal are hospital-based) or as early as possible thereafter [20].

Understanding Mental Health Professionals’ Perspectives and Practices Regarding the Implementation of Digital Mental Health: Qualitative Study

Understanding Mental Health Professionals’ Perspectives and Practices Regarding the Implementation of Digital Mental Health: Qualitative Study

In Portugal, despite a significant mental health treatment gap [23,24], digital mental health initiatives are practically nonexistent [25]. Across the globe, various studies have been conducted to identify potential drivers of and barriers to digital mental health adoption (ie, acceptance, uptake, and use) and investigate mental health professionals’ attitudes toward such an approach [26].

Presenteeism Among Nurses in Switzerland and Portugal and Its Impact on Patient Safety and Quality of Care: Protocol for a Qualitative Study

A total of 8 FGDs will be planned and run in Portugal and Switzerland, in public and private health care settings, depending on data saturation. The FGDs are expected to last 60-90 minutes each. The Portuguese research team will conduct 4 FGDs in acute care hospital settings: 2 among frontline nurses active on acute care wards and 2 among nurse managers.

Surveillance of the Second Wave of COVID-19 in Europe: Longitudinal Trend Analyses

Surveillance of the Second Wave of COVID-19 in Europe: Longitudinal Trend Analyses

The Czech Republic, Portugal, and Lithuania reported the next highest rates at 78.90, 73.59, and 54.81 per 100,000 population. These 5 countries with the highest infection rates reported a change for the week of January 11-17, 2021, thereby also changing the ranking and magnitude of rates. The top 5 countries by infection rate in week 2 were Portugal at 101.85, Ireland at 59.66, Andorra at 58.24, France at 57.31, and the United Kingdom at 56.94 per 100,000 population.

Portuguese Psychologists' Attitudes Toward Internet Interventions: Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study

In Portugal, a country characterized by a significant mental health treatment gap where treatment median delay reaches 23 years for anxiety disorders [17], internet interventions could represent an effective opportunity to reach those in need. Yet such interventions are virtually nonexistent.

Nutritional Strategies Facing an Older Demographic: The Nutrition UP 65 Study Protocol

Nutritional Strategies Facing an Older Demographic: The Nutrition UP 65 Study Protocol

Furthermore, the scarce national data that is available in Portugal reveals that older adults’ nutritional inequalities are present in an accentuated way [3]. The majority of older Portuguese adults have economic constraints, which directly impact on food security [3]. The current socioeconomic situation in countries experiencing an economic crisis (such as Portugal) leads us to predict that the frequency and consequences of nutritional status-related disabilities will increase in the coming years.
