Introdução As doenças cardiovasculares são a primeira causa de morbimortalidade a
nível global. Já o stress é encarado como um desequilíbrio entre as exigências feitas a
um sujeito, vindas do meio externo, e a forma como esse sujeito responde às exigências,
sendo provocado um estado ansioso no organismo. Havendo uma natureza
multifatorial, inúmeros fatores de risco são globalmente conhecidos para a doença
cardiovascular. No entanto, existem poucos estudos a considerar fatores psicossociais
na doença cardiovascular, numa altura em que aumenta a prevalência de doenças
mentais na população adulta.
Objetivos Para promover uma melhor prevenção da doença, este estudo pretende
atualizar os fatores de risco para a doença cardiovascular, à luz das evidencias mais
recentes, averiguando a relação entre o stress/ansiedade e a doença cardiovascular,
assim como a relação entre o stress/ansiedade e os níveis de colesterol total sérico.
Materiais e métodos O estudo contou com 69 participantes. Para avaliar a ansiedade
sofrida pelos participantes foi elaborado o questionário Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAS).
Já para avaliação do risco cardiovascular, este estudo fez uso do SCORE (Systematic
Coronary Risk Evaluation). Os dados foram recolhidos entre os meses de fevereiro e
março de 2020, e foram analisados com o programa Software Package for Social
Sciences versão 25.0, recorrendo à estatística descritiva e inferencial, considerando-se o
nível de significância de 0.05.
Resultados A correlação entre SCORE e HAS é fraca e não significativa (CC 0,146; p
0,232), pelo que se exclui relação estatisticamente significativa. Da mesma forma, a
correlação entre SCORE e os níveis de colesterol total sérico é fraca e não significativa
(CP 0,155; p 0,204).
Conclusões Não se verificou relação estatisticamente dependente entre o risco
cardiovascular e a ansiedade, nem entre a ansiedade e colesterol total sérico. Estes
resultados contrastam com os de inúmeros estudos, sendo necessária uma maior
reflexão relativamente às escalas usadas em futuras pesquisas.
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases are the leading morbidity and mortality causes at a global level. Regarding to stress, it is seen as an imbalance between external demands to an individual and the way that individual copes with them, resulting in an anxious state to the organism. Since there is a multifactorial nature, a vast range of risk factors to cardiovascular diseases are already known. There are, however, few studies considering psychosocial factors in cardiovascular diseases, now that there is an increasing prevalence of mental disease among adults. Objectives Aiming to promote a better prevention of the disease, this study intends to update the cardiovascular disease risk factors, under the latest evidences, in order to analyze the relationship between stress/anxiety and cardiovascular disease, and between stress/anxiety and serum total cholesterol levels. Materials and methods This study counted with 69 participants. To evaluate the participants anxiety it was applied the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAS). Whereas to access the cardiovascular risk, this study made use of SCORE (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation). The data was collected between February and March of 2020, was analyzed with Software Package for Social Sciences version 25.0, and were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics with a significance level of 0.05. Results The correlation between SCORE and HAS is weak and not significant (CC 0,146; p 0,232), so there is excluded any significant statistically relation. The same happens regarding the correlation between SCORE and serum total cholesterol levels, that is weak and not significant (CP 0,155; p 0,204). Conclusions There was not found a statistically significant dependency between SCORE and HAS, neither between HAS and serum total cholesterol. These results contrast with countless studies, so, in future studies, it is necessary a greater reflection regarding the scales used.
