Introdução: O mindfulness pode ser entendido como a capacidade de se estar focado no
momento presente, dando uma atenção plena ao que acontece à nossa volta. Assim, pode
ser entendido como um treino mental que transporta e cede ferramentas para que cada ser
humano lide com as suas emoçÔes e pensamentos. A pråtica de mindfulness tem
demonstrado ser efetiva para reduzir sintomas de stress, ansiedade e depressĂŁo em vĂĄrias
populaçÔes.
A inteligĂȘncia emocional compreende um conjunto de competĂȘncias para o processamento
de informação emocional e tem sido ligada a melhoria do bem-estar e a menos stress
percebido.
O pensamento negativo perserverativo, entendido como um processo caracterizado pelo
foco passivo e repetitivo nas próprias emoçÔes negativas, é um fator comum a diversas
perturbaçÔes emocionais, nomeadamente ansiedade e depressão.
O mindfulness, a inteligĂȘncia emocional e o pensamento negativo perserverativo sĂŁo,
portanto, potenciais fatores relacionados com a sintomatologia emocional. Tendo isto em
conta, os objetivos deste estudo serão: analisar as relaçÔes entre mindfulness, pensamento
negativo perserverativo, inteligĂȘncia emocional e alguns fatores sociodemogrĂĄficos com a
sintomatologia emocional experienciada por pacientes de uma clĂnica de saĂșde mental.
Materiais e mĂ©todos: O estudo serĂĄ baseado numa amostra constituĂda por 390
utentes de uma clĂnica de saĂșde mental, com mĂ©dia de idade de 34,3±9,99 anos, a maioria
do sexo feminino (66,4%), vive sozinho (solteiros/viĂșvos/divorciados â 55,1%), estĂŁo
empregados (63,8%) e tem um nĂvel de escolaridade superior (licenciatura, mestrado ou
doutoramento â 59%). Foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: Escala de Mindfulness
de Filadélfia (PHLMS), Escala de Pensamentos Perseverativos (PTQ), Escala de
InteligĂȘncia emocional (WLEIS) e o InventĂĄrio Breve de Sintomas (BSI).
Resultados: Os resultados obtidos indicam diferenças significativas entre os grupos que
apresentam sintomatologia emocional elevada e reduzida em relação às variåveis
mindfulness (aceitação e total), inteligĂȘncia emocional (avaliação das prĂłprias emoçÔes,
utilização das emoçÔes, regulação das emoçÔes e total), e pensamento negativo
perserverativo (pensamento repetitivo, interferĂȘncia improdutividade e total). Ao aplicar
um modelo de regressĂŁo logĂstica observa-se que nĂveis mais altos de mindfulness
(aceitação) e inteligĂȘncia emocional (uso das emoçÔes e regulação das emoçÔes) estĂŁo
associados a nĂveis mais baixos de sintomatologia emocional e nĂveis altos de pensamento negativo perserverativo (interferĂȘncia e improdutividade) estĂŁo associados a nĂveis mais
elevados de sintomatologia emocional.
ConclusĂŁo: Podemos concluir que mindfulness e inteligĂȘncia emocional sĂŁo fatores
protetores da sintomatologia emocional e que o pensamento negativo perserverativo Ă© um
fator de risco para a sintomatologia emocional.
Introduction: Mindfulness may be understood as the ability to be focused on the present moment, giving our undivided attention to what happens around us. As so, we can think of it as a mental training which transports and provides tools for each human being to deal with their own thoughts and emotions. Practicing mindfulness has proven itself to be an effective intervention in reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression in many populations. Emotional intelligence comprises a set of skills involved in the processing of emotional information and has been connected to greater well-being and less perceived stress. Perserverative negative thinking, understood as a process characterized by the passive and repetitive focus on oneâs own negative emotions, is a factor common to many emotional disturbances, namely those in the spectrum of anxiety and depression. As such, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and perserverative negative thinking are potential influencing factors of emotional symptomatology. Taking this into consideration, the objectives of this study will be: To analyse the relationships between mindfulness, perserverative negative thinking, emotional intelligence, as well as some sociodemographic factors, and the symptoms experienced by patients of a mental health clinic. Methods: This study will be based on a sample of 390 patients who were followed in cognitive-behavioural therapy at a mental health clinic. The following tools were used: Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (PHLMS), Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ), Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), and Brief symptom inventory (BSI). Results: The results which were obtained verify that there is a significant difference between groups which display, on the one hand, high, and on the other, reduced emotional symptomatology regarding the variables: mindfulness (acceptance and total), emotional intelligence (evaluation of oneâs own emotions, use of emotions, emotion regulation and total), and perserverative negative thinking (repetitive thought, interference and improductivity and total). The use of a logistic regression model establishes, firstly, a link between both higher levels of mindfulness (acceptance) and emotional intelligence (use of emotions and emotion regulation), and less symptomatology experienced by the patient, and, secondly, a link between high levels of perserverative negative thinking (interference and improductivity) and more symptoms felt. Conclusion: We can conclude that mindfulness and emotional intelligence are protective factors of emotional symptoms and that perserverative negative thinking is a risk factor of emotional symptoms.
