Introdução: O mindfulness é definido como um estado de consciência plena, num
processo de autorregulação da atenção no momento presente, suspendendo julgamento,
englobando um conjunto de métodos e práticas que auxiliam na gestão de stress e o
período que precede a Prova Nacional de Acesso à Formação Especializada dos estudantes
de Medicina constitui uma época em que os níveis de stress dos mesmos se encontram
significativamente elevados.
Objetivos: Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a relação entre mindfulness disposicional
e respetivas facetas, mecanismos de coping específicos e resultados da Prova Nacional de
Acesso à Formação Especializada de alunos que realizaram a prova em 2019.
Métodos: Estudo transversal através da aplicação de um questionário online, incluindo
dados sociodemográficos e académicos (género, idade aquando a realização da prova,
escola médica onde completou o 6º ano de Medicina, frequência de curso de preparação
para a prova), o Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire e o Ways of Coping Questionnaire
(ambos traduzidos e validados para a população portuguesa), aos estudantes de Medicina
que realizaram a prova em 2019. Testaram-se as associações entre género e frequência de
curso de preparação e mindfulness e mecanismos de coping através do teste t e do ANOVA
One Way, respetivamente. Através do coeficiente de Pearson foi estudada a relação entre o
resultado obtido na prova e a idade, o mindfulness e o coping, e a relação entre os
mecanismos de coping e as facetas do mindfulness.
Resultados: A amostra foi constituída por 67 estudantes de Medicina que realizaram a
prova em 2019, dos quais 52 do género feminino (77,6%) e 15 do género masculino
(22,4%). A idade, o mindfulness e as subescalas de coping não se relacionam neste estudo
de forma significativa com o resultado na prova. Verificou-se uma correlação negativa
entre o mindfulness com a subescala de coping Fuga-Evitamento e positiva com as
subescalas Resolução planeada do problema e Reavaliação positiva. Contudo, o
mindfulness não se correlaciona de forma significativa com qualquer outra subescala de
coping. As facetas do mindfulness e as subescalas de coping apresentam correlações
variáveis entre elas.
Discussão: Não se encontrou uma relação significativa entre mindfulness ou mecanismos
de coping específicos e os resultados na prova. A ausência de correlações significativas
pode ser derivada da principal limitação que constitui o tamanho diminuto da amostra, o que limita o poder de teste. Futuramente, devem realizar-se estudos longitudinais com
amostras maiores.
Introduction: Mindfulness is defined as a state of full awareness, in a process of selfregulation of attention in the present moment, free of judgment. This is proven to be a method that assists in stress management and the period preceding the National Examination of Access to Specialized Training for medical students is a time when their stress levels are significantly increased. Objectives: This study aims to assess the correlation between dispositional mindfulness and its facets, specific coping mechanisms and results of the National Test of Access to Specialized Training of students who took the test in 2019. Methods: Cross-sectional study through the application of online questionnaires, including sociodemographic and academic data (gender, age at the time of taking the test, medical school where the 6th year of medicine was completed, frequency of the course of preparation for the test), the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (both translated and validated for the portuguese population), to medical students who took the test in 2019. The associations between gender and frequency of preparation course and mindfulness and coping mechanisms were studied through t-Student and the ANOVA One Way tests, respectively. Through the Pearson coefficient, the association between the results obtained in the test and the age, mindfulness and coping mechanisms, and the association between coping mechanisms and the facets of mindfulness were studied. Results: The sample consisted of 67 medical students who took the test in 2019, of which 52 were female (77.6%) and 15 were male (22.4%). Age, mindfulness and coping subscales are not significantly related to the test result in this study. There was a negative correlation between mindfulness with the Escape-Avoidance coping subscale and a positive correlation with Planful Problem-Solving and Positive Reappraisal subscales. However, mindfulness does not correlate significantly with any other coping subscale. The facets of mindfulness and the coping subscales show variable correlations between them. Discussion: The results obtained do not prove the hypotheses of greater mindfulness or specific coping mechanisms correlating with better results in the test. No significant association was found between mindfulness or specific coping mechanisms and test results. The absence of significant correlations can be derived from the main limitation that constitutes the small sample size, which limits the test power. In the future, longitudinal studies with larger samples should be carried out.
