RESUMEN
RESUMO O amor construiu-se historicamente com base no amor romântico, patriarcal, heteronormativo e de monogamia compulsória. Atualmente, novas construções - dentre elas o poliamor - defendem a possibilidade de amar e/ou se relacionar sexualmente com mais de uma pessoa simultaneamente. O objetivo desta pesquisa - qualitativa descritiva e exploratória - foi compreender as expressões do poliamor. Foram realizadas entrevistas narrativas com seis participantes que se identificaram como poliamoristas ou declararam estar envolvidos em relação amorosa e/ou sexual múltipla consentida por todos. Os dados foram analisados pela análise do discurso sob a perspectiva da psicologia social sócio-histórica e pós- estruturalista. A pesquisa demonstra que o poliamor baseia-se no amor livre, na não monogamia, na responsabilidade, na compersão, no respeito à individualidade, na liberdade sexual, na equidade de gênero e no diálogo. Evidenciou também as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos poliamoristas, tais como insegurança na exposição pública da relação e pressões sociais de estereótipos de gênero.
El amor se construyó históricamente basado en el amor romántico, patriarcal, heteronormativo y de monogamia obligatoria. Actualmente nuevas construcciones - entre ellas el poliamor - defienden la posibilidad de relaciones amorosas y/o sexuales con más de una persona al mismo tiempo. El objetivo de este estudio - cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio - fué comprender los fundamentos del poliamor. Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas con seis participantes que se identificaron como poliamoristas o declararon vivir relación amorosa y/o sexual múltiple consentida por todos. Los datos fueron analizados mediante el análisis del discurso por la perspectiva de la psicología social socio-histórica y post estructuralista. La investigación demuestra que el poliamor se basa en el amor libre, no monogamia, responsabilidad, compersión, respeto a la individualidad, libertad sexual, equidad de género y diálogo. Se evidenció también las dificultades enfrentadas por los poliamoristas, como inseguridad con la exposición pública y presiones sociales de estereotipos de género.
ABSTRACT Historically love was built based on the constructs of romantic love, patriarchate, heteronormativity and compulsory monogamy. Currently new constructions - among them polyamory - defend the possibility love and/or sexual relations with more than one person simultaneously. The aim of this qualitative exploratory and descriptive study was to understand polyamory and its constructs. Narrative interviews were conducted with six participants who identified themselves as "polyamorish" or declared to be involved in multiple relationship consent by all. Data were analyzed by discourse analysis from the perspective of post structuralist and socio-historical psychology. As result polyamory constructs identified were non-monogamy, free love, responsibility, compersion, respect for individuality, sexual freedom, gender equality and dialogue. The results also highlighted the difficulties faced at polyamory, as insecurity on public exposure and gender stereotypes social pressures.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze evidence of the validity and reliability of a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Quality of Care Scale from the perspective of people with physical and intellectual disabilities. METHODS: There were 162 people with physical disabilities and 156 with intellectual disabilities from Porto Alegre and metropolitan region, who participated in the study in 2008. Classical psychometrics was used to independently analyze the two samples. Hypotheses for evidence of criterion validity (concurrent type) were tested with the Mann-Whitney test for non-normal distributions. Principal components analysis was used to explore factorial models. Evidence of reliability was calculated with Cronbach alpha for the scales and subscales. Test-retest reliability was analyzed for individuals with intellectual disabilities through intra-class correlation coefficient and the Willcoxon test. RESULTS: The principal components in the group with physical disabilities replicated the original model presented as a solution to the international project data. Evidence of discriminant validity and test-retest reliability was found. CONCLUSIONS: The transcultural factor model found within the international sample project seems appropriate for the samples investigated in this study, especially the physical disabilities group. Depression, pain, satisfaction with life and disability may play a mediating role in the evaluation of quality of care. Additional research is needed to add to evidence of the validity of the instruments.

OBJETIVO Analisar as evidências de validade e fidedignidade da versão para o português brasileiro da Quality of Care Scale na perspectiva de pessoas com incapacidades físicas e intelectuais. MÉTODOS Participaram do estudo 162 pessoas com incapacidades físicas e 156 com incapacidades intelectuais em Porto Alegre e região metropolitana, 2008. A psicometria clássica foi utilizada para analisar as duas amostras independentemente. As hipóteses para evidências de validade de critério do tipo concorrente foram avaliadas com teste de Mann-Whitney. A análise de componentes principais foi utilizada para exploração dos modelos fatoriais. Evidências de fidedignidade foram calculadas com α de Cronbach para escalas e subescalas. A fidedignidade teste-reteste para pessoas com incapacidades intelectuais foi analisada pelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasse e teste de Willcoxon. RESULTADOS Os componentes principais no grupo de pessoas com incapacidades físicas replicou o modelo original apresentado em solução aos dados internacionais do projeto. Foram encontradas evidências de validade discriminante e de fidedignidade teste-reteste. CONCLUSÕES O modelo fatorial transcultural encontrado na amostra internacional do projeto parece adequado para as amostras testadas neste estudo, especialmente a de incapacidades físicas. Depressão, dor, satisfação com a vida e incapacidade parecem ter papel mediador na avaliação da qualidade de cuidado. Pesquisas adicionais são necessárias para o acréscimo de evidências às validades dos instrumentos. .

BACKGROUND: The number of people with disabilities in Brazil and worldwide has grown substantially in recent decades. Cross-cultural quality of life instruments can be helpful in the development of interventions designed to meet the needs of this population and contribute to rational allocation of resources. This study sought to provide evidence of validity and reliability the Brazilian Portuguese version of WHOQOL-Dis-D (a cross-cultural, multicentre instrument developed by the WHOQOL-Group for the assessment of quality of life in persons with physical disability - PD) and WHOQOL-Dis-ID (for persons with intellectual disability - ID). METHODS: Classical psychometric methods were used to conduct independent analyses of the PD and ID samples. Criterion groups were established for analysis of construct validity. Concurrent validity was assessed in relation to SWLS and BDI-II scores; discriminant validity, in relation to WHODAS-II. Cronbach alpha was used to test the instrument scales and subscales for reliability. The ID subgroup was retested, and test-retest reliability assessed by means of intraclass correlation coefficients and paired Student's t-test. RESULTS: A total of 162 (98 females) people with PD and 156 (55 females) people with ID participated in the study. Cronbach alpha was satisfactory across practically all domains and factors in the PD subsample. In IDs, most factors or domains had coefficients higher than 0.70, but four subscales exhibited less satisfactory performance. Evidence of construct and concurrent validity and reliability were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: The analyses presented herein provide satisfactory evidence of the validity and reliability of the instrument and corroborated the factor structure revealed during cross-cultural research. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to obtain additional evidence of validity and reliability.
