Abstract(s)
A diabetes é uma doença que atinge milhões de pessoas e que tende a crescer, ou seja, há uma grande população que enfrenta uma doença crónica e incurável que está cada vez mais presente no seu quotidiano. Há basicamente dois tipos de diabetes: tipo 1 e tipo 2. Além das diferenças na sintomatologia e tratamento, diferenciam-se na população que atingem. A diabetes tipo 1 atinge crianças e adolescentes, já a tipo 2 atinge principalmente a população entre 30 e 69 anos, e muitos casos poderiam ser prevenidos evitando o excesso de peso e combatendo o sedentarismo. Com o objetivo de evitar complicações acrescidas, o controlo desta doença requer não só medicamentos e exames, mas também dieta, exercícios físicos e um equilíbrio emocional, visto que estes aspetos influenciam diretamente a doença, descontrolando-a e agravando o quadro clínico. Adicionalmente, vários autores consideram a diabetes mellitus uma doença psicossomática, ou seja, que sofre influência de fatores emocionais na sua etiologia, tornando-se necessário refletir acerca da importância de um atendimento psicológico para os seus portadores. O presente estudo procura analisar os níveis de glicemia e o funcionamento psicopatológico entre diabéticos tipo 2 e não diabéticos, com vista a tentar compreender a relação entre os mesmos e o funcionamento psicopatológico. A análise dos resultados destes dois grupos, que compara os níveis e estima o efeito moderador da glicose no funcionamento psicopatológico, permite verificar se os níveis de glicemia interferem ou não com os níveis de funcionamento psicopatológico.
Diabetes is a disease that affects millions of people and is tending to grow. Currently a large set of the population is facing a chronic and incurable disease that is increasingly present in their daily lives. There are basically two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. In addition to differences in symptomatology and treatment, they differ in the population they reach. Type 1 diabetes affects children and adolescents, and type 2 affects mainly the population between 30 and 69 years, and avoiding overweight and a sedentary lifestyle could prevent many cases. In order to avoid further complications, the control of this disease requires not only drugs and tests, but also diet, physical exercises and an emotional balance. These aspects have a direct influence in the disease, which have become out of control, deteriorating patients clinical state. Additionally, several authors consider diabetes mellitus a psychosomatic illness, namely, it is influenced by emotional factors in its etiology, reason why it is necessary to reflect on the importance of psychological care. The present study aims to analyse glycemia levels and psychopathological functioning between type 2 diabetics and non-diabetics, in order to understand the relationship between them and psychopathological functioning. The analysis of the results of these two groups, which compares the levels and estimates the moderating effect of glucose on psychopathological functioning, allows us to verify whether or not glycemia levels interfere with levels of psychopathological functioning.
