Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho procurou relacionar-se com o desenvolvimento de um melhor
entendimento acerca da influência de dimensões e variáveis psicossociais no processo de
ajustamento psicológico dos indivíduos á patologia crónica. O estudo desenvolvido foi de
natureza não-experimental, com recolha de dados através de questionários autoadministrados.
A amostra do estudo foi constituída por sessenta sujeitos com diagnóstico de
Diabetes.
Procurou estudar-se, primeiro, possíveis diferenças entre o grupo de homens e de mulheres
na experiência de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Depois, em segundo lugar, procurou
avaliar-se o papel global do apoio social e das suas dimensões (apoio social emocional, apoio
social instrumental e apoio social informacional), e a sua relação com a experiencia de
sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Tentou também conhecer-se melhor quais seriam, na
perspectiva destes sujeitos, as condições de trabalho e acomodações que consideravam mais
importantes no processo de adaptação laboral á doença, e quais os principais problemas
encontrados devido á doença. Para tal foram utilizados, como instrumentos de avaliação, a
Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS), a Escala de Apoio Social (EAS), e as
Escalas de Perceção de Condições Desejáveis de Trabalho e Escala de Problemas no Trabalho
devido á Doença.
