Abstract(s)
Atendendo à importância e influência que as variáveis Medo ao COVID-19 e
Intolerância à Incerteza assumem no atual contexto de pandemia, o principal objetivo
desta investigação consistia em analisar e descrever a potencial dinâmica de associação
entre as mesmas. Adicionalmente, pretendia-se averiguar a existência de diferenças
significativas nas variáveis em questão, em função das variáveis sociodemográficas,
nomeadamente, o sexo e idade de cada participante.
Neste estudo contámos com a participação de 314 estudantes universitários de
ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 26 anos. O protocolo
utilizado para a recolha de dados era composto por três instrumentos de autorresposta:
um questionário sociodemográfico, a versão adaptada para português da FCV-19S
(Cavalheiro & Sticca em 2020) e ainda, a versão adaptada para português da IUS-12,
composta por duas subdimensões, IU Inibitória e IU Prospetiva (Kretzmann & Gauer,
2020).
Com base nos resultados obtidos no presente estudo, foram evidenciadas
diferenças estatisticamente significativas na variável Medo ao COVID-19 em função do
sexo e da idade. A Intolerância à Incerteza, por sua vez, apenas revelou diferenças
estatisticamente significativas em função da variável idade. Através da correlação de
Pearson obteve-se uma forte correlação significativa positiva, entre o Medo ao COVID19 e a Intolerância à Incerteza nos participantes em questão. A análise de regressão
linear múltipla permitiu verificar um efeito preditivo, significativo e positivo, de ambas
as subdimensões da Intolerância à Incerteza no Medo ao COVID-19, enfatizando-se,
assim, a influência das mesmas no seu aumento.
Given the importance and effect that the variables Fear of COVID-19 and Intolerance to Uncertainty assume in the current pandemic context, the main goal of this research was to analyze and describe the potential dynamic association between them. Additionally, it was intended to ascertain the existence of significant differences in the study variables, depending on the sociodemographic variables, namely, gender and age of each participant. In this study, 314 university students of both genders, with ages between 17 and 26 years old, have participated. The protocol used for data collection was composed of three self-answer instruments: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Portuguese version of FCV-19S (Cavalheiro & Sticca in 2020) and the Portuguese version of IUS-12, composed of by two subdimensions, IU Inhibitory and IU Prospective (Kretzmann & Gauer, 2020). Based on the results obtained in the present study, there were statistically significant differences in the variable Fear of COVID-19 according to gender and age. Intolerance to Uncertainty, in turn, only revealed statistically significant differences according to the age variable. Through Pearson's correlation, a strong positive significant correlation was obtained, between Fear of COVID-19 and Intolerance to Uncertainty among the participants. The analysis of multiple linear regression allowed to verify a predictive, significant and positive effect, of both sub-dimensions of the Uncertainty Intolerance in Fear of COVID-19, thus emphasizing their influence in its increase.
