Abstract(s)
O ano de 2020 ficará marcado pela pandemia por COVID-19, sendo esta uma doença
que acabou por se disseminar por todos os continentes. A atual pandemia veio
interferir na forma como interagimos e nas nossas rotinas, exigindo aos indivíduos uma
adaptação constante. Por estes motivos, este estudo pretende compreender os efeitos
presentes da pandemia na altura da recolha dos dados, nomeadamente a influência das
medidas de contenção (quarentena/isolamento/distanciamento social) na
sintomatologia psicopatológica, incidindo especialmente na ansiedade e depressão e, a
par disto, ainda verificar se esta poderá ter influência nas falhas cognitivas. Foi
elaborado um questionário online que incluía o questionário sociodemográfico, o BSI, e
o questionário de falhas cognitivas, com o objetivo de averiguar a possibilidade de
existência de relação entre as variáveis previamente mencionadas. A amostra contou
com 166 participantes com média de idades de 38.43 anos, 73.5% pertencem ao sexo
feminino e 48.8% residem no distrito de Castelo Branco. Nesta amostra, 90 indivíduos
encontram-se em confinamento e destes, 42.2% estão em isolamento voluntário, e, os
restantes 45.6% referem não estar em confinamento, sendo que 34.3% indicam que o
mesmo ocorre por motivos profissionais. Os resultados indicaram uma relação entre as
falhas cognitivas e a sintomatologia psicopatológica neste período de confinamento.
Nesta linha, os indivíduos com um maior número de falhas cognitivas apresentaram
um nível mais elevado de sintomatologia psicopatológica, nomeadamente, depressão e
ansiedade. Verificou-se ainda que a sintomatologia psicopatológica se correlaciona
negativamente com os rendimentos financeiros. Considera-se que a fase de
desconfinamento possa ter influência nos resultados. No entanto, consideramos que
tendo em conta esta limitação, este estudo parece indicar que as falhas cognitivas se
relacionam de forma mais explicita com a sintomatologia psicopatológica do que com
qualquer outro fator. Por sua vez, a sintomatologia psicopatológica parece surgir ou ser
exacerbada pelas dificuldades socioeconómicas que a pandemia acarreta.
The year 2020 will be marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is a disease that eventually spread to all continents. The current pandemic has come to interfere with the way we interact and with our daily routines, requiring individuals to constantly adapt. For these reasons, this study aims to understand the current effects of the pandemic at the time of data collection, namely the influence of containment measures (quarantine/isolation/social distance) on psychopathological symptoms, focusing especially on anxiety and depression and, in addition to this, still check if it may have an influence on cognitive failures. An online questionnaire was prepared that included the sociodemographic questionnaire, the BSI, and the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire, with the aim of investigating the possibility of a relationship between the previously mentioned variables. The sample had 166 participants with an average age of 38.43 years, 73.5% are female and 48.8% live in the district of Castelo Branco. In this sample, 90 individuals are in confinement and, of these, 42.2% are in voluntary isolation, and the remaining 45.6% say they are not in confinement, with 34.4% indicating that the same occurs for professional reasons. The results indicated a relationship between cognitive failures and psychopathological symptoms in this period of confinement. In this line, individuals with a greater number of cognitive failures had a higher level of psychopathological symptoms, namely, depression and anxiety. It was also found that psychopathological symptoms are negatively correlated with financial income. It is considered that the phase of lockdown easing can have an influence on the results. However, we consider that taking into account this limitation, this study seems to indicate that cognitive failures are more explicitly related to psychopathological symptoms than to any other factor. In turn, psychopathological symptoms seem to arise or be exacerbated by the socioeconomic difficulties that the pandemic causes.
