Abstract(s)
O presente estudo está integrado no projeto “Determinantes de adaptação à doença”
que contribui para a avaliação dos fatores psicossociais de pessoas com doenças crónicas,
que convivem diariamente com as exigências impostas pelas mesmas. O objetivo geral da
presente investigação é avaliar os níveis de adesão ao tratamento e as estratégias de coping
em pessoas com hipertensão arterial, assistidas no Centro de Saúde de Vagos. Neste estudo,
foram aplicados os questionários sociodemográfico, de Medida de Adesão ao Tratamento
(MAT) e o Brief Cope. Participaram 146 indivíduos com hipertensão arterial, 74 homens e
72 mulheres, com uma média de idades de 68.79 anos. Trata-se de um estudo correlacional,
quantitativo, comparativo e transversal.
Os principais resultados obtidos evidenciam diferenças significativas para a adesão
ao tratamento na idade; e entre algumas subescalas das estratégias de coping na idade,
género, estado civil e habilitações literárias. Relativamente às características clínicas, para
as estratégias de coping verificaram-se diferenças no tempo de diagnóstico, existência de
outro problema de saúde crónico e controlo da pressão arterial. Encontraram-se ainda
associações entre a adesão ao tratamento e as estratégias de coping, nomeadamente foram
verificadas correlações positivas para as subescalas Coping Ativo e Reinterpretação positiva
e correlações negativas para as subescalas Auto-culpabilização e Negação.
O aumento do conhecimento em relação à adesão e às estratégias de coping revelase fulcral para o desenvolvimento de programas de intervenção eficazes, que possam
contribuir para o bem-estar físico e psicológico do doente a longo prazo.
