Introdução: No dia-a-dia, somos expostos a situações stressantes, com as quais temos de
lidar. Isto é ainda mais comum em ambientes altamente competitivos e de extrema
responsabilidade, em indivíduos com um percurso de sucesso e com altas expectativas
para si mesmas, como é o caso da área da saúde. Assim sendo, considerando a
importância de determinadas variáveis na compreensão deste tipo de temática, e sabendo
que os estudantes universitários, em especial os estudantes de Medicina, se enquadram
naquele grupo, decidiu-se fazer uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura sobre a regulação
emocional, o perfeccionismo e o distress psicológico, de forma perceber o impacto destes
construtos.
Objetivo: Esta dissertação tem como objetivo geral perceber de que forma a regulação
emocional, o perfeccionismo estão presentes e se relacionam com o distress psicológico
nos estudantes de Medicina.
Método: Foi elaborada uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura, segundo as diretrizes do
PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). A
pesquisa foi efetuada nas bases de dados B-On e PubMed, incidindo sobre os artigos
publicados de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2022, e de acordo com os restantes critérios
de elegibilidade.
Resultados: Dos 219 artigos inicialmente identificados nas bases de dados, apenas 3 foram
selecionados para leitura integral, tendo sido excluídos todos aqueles que não cumprissem
os critérios de elegibilidade. Em geral, houve concordância nos principais resultados dos
estudos analisados. De facto, estes parecem corroborar o entendimento de que os
estudantes de Medicina são uma população particularmente suscetível a apresentar
determinados indicadores a nível da saúde mental, e que existe uma grande variabilidade
individual na forma como os indivíduos lidam com certas emoções. Em termos
metodológicos, as investigações analisadas são bastante similares, incidindo na avaliação
das respostas dos participantes a uma variedade de questionários e escalas de avaliação
(auto-relato).
Conclusões: Em termos gerais, foi possível constatar que os três construtos em estudo - a
regulação emocional, o perfeccionismo e o distress psicológico - estão associados e que se
potenciam. Além disto, apurou-se que estas variáveis não atuam de forma independente e que existem outros fatores que também influenciam a forma como os indivíduos, neste
caso os estudantes, lidam com os eventos que percecionam como sendo stressantes e
desafiantes.
Introduction: We are confronted with stressful situations in our daily life. This is even more common in highly competitive and extremely responsible environments, where people have successful past experiences and high expectations for themselves. Such circumstances seem to be particularly present in health contexts. Therefore, considering the importance of certain types of variables in this domain, and that university students, especially medical students, fall into that group, a Systematic Review of the Literature on emotional regulation, perfectionism and psychological distress was carry out, in order to understand the impact of these constructs. Objective: The general objective of this dissertation is to understand how emotional regulation and perfectionism are present and related to psychological distress in medical students. Methods: A Systematic Review of the Literature was conducted, following the guidelines of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The search was made in two databases, B-On and PubMed, and we focused on articles published from January 2000 to December 2022, as well as the remaining eligibility criteria. Results: Of the 219 articles initially identified in the databases, only 3 were selected for full reading, and all those that did not meet the eligibility criteria were excluded. In general, there was agreement in the results of the analyzed studies. In fact, these seem to corroborate the understanding that medical students are a particularly susceptible population to present certain indicators in terms of mental health, and that there is great individual variability in the way individuals deal with certain emotions. In methodological terms, the investigations analyzed are quite similar, focusing on the evaluation of participants' responses to a variety of questionnaires and rating scales (self-report). Conclusions: It was possible to verify that the three constructs studied, emotional regulation, perfectionism and psychological distress, are associated and potentiate each other. In addition, it was noticed that these variables do not act independently and that there are other factors that also influence the way individuals, in this case students, deal with events that they perceive as stressful and challenging.
