Abstract(s)
Em resposta à pandemia de COVID-19, que surgiu em 2020, foram tomadas medidas
preventivas de disseminação da doença que alteraram a vida quotidiana como a
conhecíamos. Uma mudança nas rotinas laborais e familiares exige medidas adaptativas
que podem condicionar o estado mental dos indivíduos de forma diferente. Efetivamente,
perturbações de saúde mental podem influenciar negativamente várias esferas da vida
como, por exemplo, as relações emocionais e o bem-estar sexual. Uma vez que uma boa
saúde sexual é necessária para manter um bom estado de saúde geral, é necessário
perceber as eventuais alterações registadas ao nível da saúde sexual e reprodutiva entre os
períodos pré e pós-pandemia. Para além disso, esta tese tem como objetivo perceber a
relação entre o impacto emocional do confinamento e a saúde sexual dos indivíduos. Isto
é, importa perceber como é que as mudanças do quotidiano condicionaram a saúde
mental e as suas implicações na saúde sexual e reprodutiva.
Para este trabalho, recorreu-se a diversos artigos científicos e de revisão cujos dados
foram, maioritariamente, recolhidos durante o período de confinamento obrigatório.
Constatou-se que, na generalidade, houve alterações dos comportamentos sexuais das
amostras, tanto com o parceiro, como atividades não presenciais ou sem um parceiro.
Mais ainda, estas mudanças foram positivamente associadas a um aumento nos sintomas
psicológicos negativos. Assim, concluiu-se que poderiam ter sido utilizadas outras
estratégias de gestão de saúde pública que capacitassem mais os indivíduos a gerir o seu
estado de saúde. Por fim, também a incerteza e desinformação disseminada pelos media,
no contexto pandémico, contribuíram para sentimentos de stress e medo que culminaram
numa diminuição da saúde mental dos indivíduos, com as necessárias implicações na sua
saúde sexual.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in 2020, preventive measures have been taken to spread the disease, altering everyday life as we knew it. A change in work and family routines requires adaptive measures that can condition the mental state of individuals differently. In fact, mental health disorders can negatively influence various spheres of life, such as emotional relationships and sexual well-being. Since good sexual health is necessary to maintain a good general state of health, it is necessary to understand any changes in sexual and reproductive health between the pre- and post-pandemic periods. In addition, this thesis aims to understand the relationship between the emotional impact of lockdown and the sexual health of individuals. In other words, it is important to understand how the changes in daily life have affected mental health and their implications for sexual and reproductive health. For this work, several scientific and review articles were used, most of whose data was collected during the period of confinement. It was found that, in general, there were changes in the sexual behavior of the samples, both with a partner and in non-face-to-face activities or without a partner. What's more, these changes were positively associated with an increase in negative psychological symptoms. Thus, it was concluded that other public health management strategies could have been used to better empower individuals to manage their state of health. Finally, the uncertainty and misinformation disseminated by the media in the context of the pandemic also contributed to feelings of stress and fear that culminated in a decline in individuals' mental health, with the necessary implications for their sexual health.
