本文描述了针对癌症患者及其家人 (proFamilies) 的心理教育多家庭讨论小组干预措施，该干预措施在 IPOFG - CROC（葡萄牙癌症研究所，科英布拉区域中心）实施和评估。这是一个简短且高度结构化的计划，涉及教育和支持部分，并基于多家庭讨论小组，包括患者和非患者家庭成员。成立了5个小组，涉及19个家庭，共57人。本文重点讨论干预措施的实践方面、其发展和评估。我们的结果表明，该计划满足了患者及其家人的需求，参与 proFamilies 可以防止患者心理社会失调程度的增加，促进足够水平的家庭凝聚力，并减轻患者和家庭成员的感知压力。
This paper describes a psycho-educational multi-family discussion group intervention for cancer patients and their families (proFamilies) which was implemented and evaluated at the IPOFG - CROC (Portuguese Cancer Institute, Regional Centre of Coimbra). It is a brief and highly structured programme which involves educational and support components and is based on multi-family discussion groups, including patients and non-patient family members. Five groups were established, involving 19 families, and a total of 57 people. The paper focuses on the practical aspects of the intervention, its development and its evaluation. Our results suggest that the programme responds to the patients' and their families' needs and that participation in proFamilies prevents an increase in the patient's level of psycho-social maladjustment, promotes an adequate level of family cohesion and diminishes the perceived stress of patients and family members.
