Abstract(s)
O Acidente Vascular Cerebral é uma das doenças a nível mundial com maior
impacto na vida dos doentes. O surgimento deste evento súbito apresenta um impacto
significativo no Bem-Estar Psicológico, para além disto as estratégias de coping que as
pessoas utilizam repercutem na saúde física e psicológica, tanto dos doentes como
daqueles que os rodeiam. O objetivo geral da presente investigação consiste em avaliar
as estratégias de Coping e o BEP em vítimas de um Acidente Vascular Cerebral, assistidas
nas unidades de AVC de dois Hospitais distritais de referência, o Centro Hospitalar de
Tondela-Viseu e a Unidade Local de Saúde de Castelo Branco. Para esta avaliação foram
aplicados o Questionário sociodemográfico, uma Ficha clínica, o Brief Cope de PaisRibeiro e Rodrigues (2004) e a Versão Reduzida das Escalas de Bem-Estar Psicológico
(Novo, et al., 2004). Participaram nesta investigação 159 indivíduos, 94 do sexo
masculino e 65 do sexo feminino, com uma média de idades de 66.35 anos.
Os principais resultados obtidos evidenciam diferenças significativas no BemEstar Psicológico em função da idade, do género, do estado civil e das habilitações
literárias. No que concerne às estratégias de coping foram também encontradas
diferenças significativas nas estratégias utilizadas em função da idade, do género, estado
civil e das habilitações literárias. A incidência crescente desta patologia implica uma
promoção mais ativa ao nível da saúde Psicológica, para que os sobreviventes possam
percecionar o benefício de utilizar estratégias de coping adaptativas que promovam um
maior Bem-Estar Psicológico na vida dos sujeitos.
A stroke is one of the most common diseases worldwide with the most impact on patients' lives. The emergence of this sudden event has a significant impact when it comes to psychological well-being. On top of that, coping strategies that people have used influence the physical and psychological health of both patients and those around them. The main goal of the present investigation consists in evaluating coping strategies and the personal well-being (PWB) in victims of a stroke that were assisted in the stroke units of two referral district hospitals, “Centro Hospitalar de Tondela-Viseu'' and “Unidade Local de Saúde de Castelo Branco''. For this evaluation, a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, a Clinical Form, the Brief Cope of Pais Ribeiro e Rodrigues (2004) and the Short Version of the Psychological Well-Being Scales (Novo, Duarte-Silva & Peralta, 2004) were applied. Out of the 159 individuals that participated in this investigation, 94 were males and 65 were females, with the average age being 66.35 years. The main results obtained show the significant differences in psychological well-being according to age, gender, marital status and literacy qualifications. With regard to coping strategies, significant differences were found in the strategies used according to age, gender, civil status and educational qualifications. The increasing incidence of this pathology implies a more active promotion in terms of psychological health, so that survivors can perceive the benefit of using adaptive coping strategies that promote a greater psychological wellbeing in the individual´s lives.
