Abstract(s)
A Compaixão, nas suas duas vertentes (autocompaixão e compaixão pelos outros), é
uma capacidade psicológica que integra o cuidado dos seres humanos em relação a si
próprios e aos outros.
Quando as situações são experienciadas como stressantes, estas podem levar à
ocorrência de Distress Psicológico, fazendo com que os sujeitos adotem
comportamentos prejudiciais à sua saúde.
Este estudo teve como objetivo geral avaliar os níveis de Compaixão e de Distress
Psicológico em adultos, em função de variáveis sociodemográficas como as habilitações,
local de residência, estatuto socioeconómico e situação profissional/ocupacional.
Os resultados indicaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos níveis de
Autocompaixão em função das habilitações, sendo que quanto maior o nível de
habilitação, maior é o nível da Autocompaixão.
Registaram-se também diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos níveis de
Compaixão em função das habilitações, indicando que quanto maior o grau de
habilitação, maior é o nível de Compaixão; e nos níveis de Compaixão em função do
local de residência.
Quanto ao Distress Psicológico, os resultados apontaram para a existência de
diferenças estatisticamente significativas em função do estatuto socioeconómico (ESE)
e da situação profissional. Foi suportada a hipótese inicial de que quanto menor o ESE,
maior o nível de Distress Psicológico. Relativamente à situação profissional, os
desempregados apresentaram níveis mais elevados de Distress Psicológico
comparativamente aos indivíduos empregados.
Compassion, in its two aspects (self-compassion and compassion for others), is a psychological capacity that integrates the caring of human beings for themselves and for others. When situations are experienced as stressful, they can lead to the occurrence of Psychological Distress, causing subjects to adopt behaviors detrimental to their health. This study aimed to evaluate levels of Compassion and Psychological Distress in adults according to sociodemographic variables (qualifications, place of residence, socioeconomic status, and professional/occupational situation). The results indicated statistically significant differences in the levels of SelfCompassion in term of qualifications, with the higher the education level, the higher the level of Self-Compassion. Statistically significant differences were also found in the levels of Compassion in term of qualifications, indicating that the higher the level of qualifications, the higher the level of Compassion; and in the levels of Compassion in term of place of residence. As for Psychological Distress, the results pointed to the existence of statistically significant differences according to socioeconomic status (SES) and professional status. The initial hypothesis that the lower the SES, the higher the level of Psychological Distress was supported. In relation to professional status, unemployed individuals showed higher levels of Psychological Distress than employed individuals.
