Abstract(s)
A depressão é considerada como sendo a patologia psiquiátrica mais frequente
nos pacientes com AVC. A literatura apresenta alguns factores de risco que parecem
estar associados ao surgimento da depressão pós AVC, tais como: a lateralidade, o
prejuízo funcional, bem como a percepção de suporte social. Objectivos: analisar a
existência de sintomatologia depressiva em utentes do C.H.C.B. com diagnóstico AVC
há 3 meses, bem como a relação entre a localização do AVC, o género, o prejuízo
funcional e a percepção de suporte social com a existência dessa mesma
sintomatologia depressiva. Método: o estudo foi constituído por 47 participantes, de
ambos os géneros, com diagnóstico de AVC há 3 meses, com idades compreendidas
entre os 44 e os 89 anos. Todos os participantes foram avaliados com o Índice de
Barthel, CES-D e MOS-SSS. Resultados: encontrámos diferenças significativas de
sintomatologia depressiva com género (t=3,73 p≤0,001), com a lateralidade (t=-1,99;
p≤0,026) e com a percepção de suporte social cuja dimensão apoio afectivo se revelou
preditor de sintomatologia depressiva (p≤0,000). Conclusões: Os resultados deste
estudo sugerem uma possível relação entre a localização hemisférica do AVC, o
género e uma menor percepção de suporte social com o surgimento de sintomatologia
depressiva pós AVC, na amostra em questão.
Depression is considered the most frequent psychiatric pathology in poststroke patients. Previous studies have shown some risk factors that seem to be associated with the poststroke depression beginning. Those are: laterality, functional loss as well as perception of social support. Goals: evaluate the existence of depressive symptoms in C.H.C.B. users diagnosed with stroke 3 months ago and, the relation between stroke location, gender, functional loss and, perception of social support with the depression symptoms. Method: the study consisted of 47 participants of both genders with a diagnosis of stroke from 3 months ago, aged 44 to 89 years old. All participants were assessed with the Barthel Index, CES-D and MOS-SSS. Results: We found significant differences in depressive symptoms with gender (t=3,73 p≤0,001), with laterality (t=- 1,99; p≤0,026) and, the perception of social support whose dimension affective support has shown to be a predictor for depressive symptomatology (p≤0,000). Conclusion: These study results suggest a possible relationship between the hemispheric location of stroke, gender and a low perception of social support with the onset of depressive symptoms after stroke, for the sample in question.
