Resumo(s)
ace à crescente evidência de que a inatividade física é já uma pandemia mundial, as boas práticas no desenho e implementação de intervenções comunitárias (IC) para a promoção da atividade física (AF), bem como as ferramentas para a sua avaliação, são aliados fundamentais. Contudo, as ferramentas existentes têm uma capacidade limitada para avaliar IC de menor escala, sendo demasiado exaustivas e com aplicabilidade reduzida, gerando por isso dificuldades na avaliação desta importante realidade.
A presente dissertação surge da necessidade de desenvolver um instrumento mais simples, com um cariz mais prático e adequado aos contextos locais/municipais, que permita identificar, avaliar e disseminar as boas práticas em IC de promoção da AF. Para tal, colocaram-se como objetivos o desenvolvimento deste instrumento e a sua validação preliminar.
O desenvolvimento do instrumento foi feito com recurso a uma metodologia tipo Delphi, através de painel de especialistas, incluindo posteriormente uma aplicação piloto a profissionais de referência na área, com vista ao seu refinamento. A validação preliminar do instrumento refinado incluiu a sua aplicação, através de entrevistas, a coordenadores de cinco programas comunitários existentes em Portugal. Os resultados apontam para um instrumento capaz de avaliar IC de base municipal, de forma adequada, simples e prática.
Considering the growing evidence that physical inactivity already is a global pandemic, good practices in the design and implementation of community interventions (CI) for the promotion of physical activity (PA), as well as tools for their evaluation, are key to address it. However, the existing tools have limited ability to assess smaller scale CI, being too extensive, with limited applicability, contributing to difficulties in assessing this important reality. This dissertation arises from the need to develop a simpler, more practical tool, appropriate for evaluating local/municipal contexts, allowing to identify, evaluate and disseminate good practices in CI promoting PA in the future. To this end, two goals have been established: the development of such a tool and its preliminary validation. The development of this tool was undertaken by applying a Delphi-type methodology, through the consultation of an expert panel. With the objective of refining it, a pilot application of the tool was conducted with professionals experienced in the field. Preliminary validation of the refined tool was made through interviews to the coordinators of five existing community programs in Portugal. The results of this dissertation indicate that the developed tool can adequately evaluate municipal CI, in a simple and practical way.
