Abstract(s)
O Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) é um problema de saúde pública e uma das
principais causas de morte no mundo, incluindo Portugal, onde também é a principal
causa de incapacidade permanente. Este estudo incluiu 108 participantes e objetivou
avaliar os níveis de qualidade de vida (QdV) e suporte social em sobreviventes de AVC,
com idades compreendidas entre os 33 e os 88 anos, usando a Escala de Qualidade de
Vida Específica para Utentes que Sofreram um AVC (EQVE-AVC) e a Escala de Apoio
Social (EAS). Os resultados mostraram diferenças significativas nos níveis de QdV em
função do género, sequelas e tempo de hospitalização. Além disso, verificaram-se
diferenças nos níveis de suporte social em função do estado civil. Embora não tenha
sido encontrada correlação significativa entre a QdV e o suporte social, a idade
correlacionou-se negativamente com a QdV e as suas dimensões. Em conclusão, este
estudo enfatiza a importância de abordagens personalizadas na reabilitação e cuidados
pós-AVC, bem como a necessidade de programas educacionais contínuos e apoio
psicossocial para sobreviventes de AVC e familiares.
Stroke is a public health problem and one of the leading causes of death in the world, including Portugal, where it is also the leading cause of permanent disability. This study, that included 108 participants aged 33 to 88 years, aim to assess the levels of quality of life (QoL) and social support in stroke survivors, using the Specific Quality of Life Scale for Stroke Survivors (EQVE-AVC) and the Social Support Scale. Results showed significant differences in QoL levels according to gender, aftereffects, and hospitalization period. In addition, there were differences in the levels of social support according to marital status. Although no significant correlation was found between QoL and social support, age was negatively correlated with QoL and its dimensions. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of personalized approaches in poststroke rehabilitation and care, as well as the need for ongoing educational programs and psychosocial support for stroke survivors and their family members.
