Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Este estudo avalia a relação entre a violência nas relações de intimidade (VRI) e a saúde mental, em estudantes da Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI), em Portugal. Mais concretamente, analisa as crenças e as atitudes relativas à VRI, em situações de vitimação e de perpetração, e a relação com a ansiedade, a sintomatologia depressiva e o auto-conceito. Método: A amostra é constituída por 519 estudantes da UBI, incluindo 350 mulheres, 164 homens e 5 pessoas que se identificam com o género não binário, com uma média de idades de 21.56 (DP=3.66), sendo a maioria estudantes de licenciatura (53.2%). Foi divulgado um protocolo online que incluía um Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala de Crenças sobre Violência Conjugal, o Inventário de Violência Conjugal, o Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7–item, o Patient Health Questionaire–9 e o Inventário Clínico de Auto-Conceito. Resultados: Verificou-se uma baixa tolerância face às crenças de VRI e uma baixa prevalência de VRI, nas situações de vitimação e de perpetração. Os resultados demonstraram uma associação significativa entre ter filhos e ser vítima de VRI e entre o estado civil e a vitimação. Adicionalmente, verificaram-se correlações positivas entre atitudes, e crenças de VRI, com ansiedade e sintomas depressivos, e correlações negativas com o auto-conceito. Por fim, o estado civil e a sintomatologia depressiva demonstraram-se significativos nas situações de vitimização e perpetração, enquanto o auto-conceito demonstrou-se apenas significativo na vitimização. Conclusões: Este estudo destaca a necessidade de intervenções educacionais e de apoio nas instituições de ensino superior (IES) para combater a VRI, promovendo a saúde mental e a desmistificação de crenças prejudiciais.
Objective: This study evaluates the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health in students at the University of Beira Interior. More specifically, it analyzes beliefs and attitudes towards IPV in situations of victimization and perpetration, and their relationship with anxiety, depressive symptoms and self-concept. Method: The sample of this study included 519 students from the University of Beira Interior, in Portugal, including 350 women, 164 men and 5 people who identify with the non-binary gender, with an average age of 21.56 (SD=3.66), the majority being undergraduate students (53.2%). A protocol was designed which included a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Beliefs about Marital Violence Scale, the Marital Violence Inventory, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7–item, the Patient Health Questionnaire–9 and the Clinical Self-Concept Inventory. Results: There was a low tolerance of beliefs about IPV and a low prevalence of IPV in situations of victimization and perpetration. The results showed a significant association between having children and being a victim of IPV and between marital status and victimization. In addition, there were positive correlations between attitudes and beliefs about IPV and anxiety and depressive symptoms, and negative correlations with self-concept. Finally, marital status and depressive symptomatology were significant in victimization and perpetration situations, while self-concept was only significant in victimization. Conclusions: This study highlights the need for educational and supportive interventions in higher education institutions (HEI) to combat IPV, promoting mental health and demystifying harmful beliefs.
