Abstract(s)
A presente investigação de mestrado, na área de Psicologia Clínica e da Saúde, centra-se no estudo da espiritualidade e religiosidade como potenciais fatores promotores de coping resiliente, na idade adulta e na velhice. Esta focaliza a problemática da crescente investigação no âmbito da resiliência, a qual tem vindo a identificar a espiritualidade e a religiosidade como seus fatores de promoção.
A primeira parte é composta por dois capítulos, com o intuito de mostrar o trabalho científico desenvolvido. Por um lado, o primeiro é constituído por um artigo de revisão teórica de estudos realizados sobre o presente tema, por outro, o segundo capítulo, em concordância com o primeiro, incorpora e sustenta empiricamente os objetivos desenhados e estruturados, após a revisão da literatura efetuada – ambos foram submetidos para publicação em publicações periódicas com revisão por pares.
A segunda parte desta dissertação é constituída pelos Anexos. O primeiro, por um lado, reúne uma extensão da revisão da literatura, onde são delimitadas as temáticas centrais do estudo; por outro lado, o Anexo 2 carateriza e apresenta a extensão do estudo empírico, onde, através de testes estatísticos suplementares nos propomos a ir ao encontro dos objetivos traçados.
Com uma amostra de 1310 sujeitos, com idades compreendidas entre os 25 e os 97 anos - e a fim de alcançar os objetivos do estudo - foram realizados o teste t-student e Anova, para comparar as diferenças entre grupos estabelecidos, efetuaram-se correlações e testes de regressão e, por fim, efetuou-se um modelo de equações estruturais, com o propósito de confirmar o impacto da espiritualidade, através das suas dimensões verticais e horizontais, ao nível do coping resiliente.
A partir dos resultados obtidos, podemos concluir que a espiritualidade, na sua dimensão horizontal - que diz respeito à forma como as pessoas dão sentido à sua vida -constitui, nesta amostra, um preditor moderado do coping resiliente. Porém, ao nível das Crenças foi alcançado um resultado disruptivo ao esperado, o que poderá estar associado ao ao número de itens que compõem o fator. Podemos, igualmente, concluir que tanto a espiritualidade como os níveis de coping resiliente são influenciados pelas idiossincrasias dos indivíduos, nomeadamente ao nível da idade e do género, em diferentes fases do ciclo vital.
This master's research, in the area of Clinical and Health Psychology, focuses on the study of spirituality and religiosity as promoting factors of resilient coping, in adulthood and old age. The focal point of the dissertation is the problematic of the growing research on resilience, which it has been identifying spirituality and religiosity as its promoting factors. The dissertation is composed of two chapters, with the purpose to expose the scientific work developed. The first is constituted by a theoretical review article of studies realized on this theme. The second chapter, in accordance with the first, incorporates and supports empirically the designed and structured goals, after reviewing of the literature - both are under evaluation and waiting for the publication. The second part of this dissertation is comprised of the Appendices. The first compiles the extension of the literature review, where are delimited the central theme of the study. The Appendix 2 characterizes and presents the extension of the empirical study, where through statistical tests we propose to accomplish the objectives outlined. With a sample of 1310 Individuals - and in order to achieve the objectives of this study - Student’s t test and ANOVA were realized to compare the differences between the established groups; correlations and regression testing were made and lastly effectuated a structural equation model, with the purpose to confirm the impact of the spirituality, through the vertical and horizontal dimensions, at the level of the resilient coping. Based on the results, we can conclude that spirituality, in its horizontal dimension – that means how people give meaning to their life - in this sample is a moderate predictor of the resilient coping. We can also conclude that the spirituality and the resilient coping levels are influenced by the idiosyncrasies of individuals at different stages of the life cycle.
