O presente estudo centra-se na problemática do cyberbullying como forma de violência de género, com enfoque sobre jovens adultas ativas politicamente. Inserido num contexto marcado pela crescente digitalização e pela persistência de desigualdades estruturais de género, este fenómeno constitui um obstáculo à participação plena das mulheres na esfera política. Impacta severamente a saúde mental das vítimas, sendo frequentemente associado a sintomatologia depressiva e a uma pior qualidade de vida. O estudo teve como principal objetivo descrever a exposição a cyberbullying em jovens portuguesas ativas na política, com idades entre os 18 e os 35 anos, explorar a sua associação com sintomas depressivos e qualidade de vida e identificar fatores associados. Para tal, foi desenvolvido e aplicado um questionário online, composto por escalas padronizadas, incluindo a Escala Política Esquerda-Direita, o Questionário de Cyberbullying-Vitimização (CBQ-V), a Cyber-harassment Assessment Scale (CHAS), o Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI-II) e a 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12). O estudo contou com a participação de 91 mulheres. A análise dos dados recolhidos foi realizada com recurso ao software IBMⓇ SPSSⓇ Statistics, recorrendo-se a uma análise bivariada e inferencial (modelos de regressão múltipla). Os resultados sugerem uma prevalência elevada de cyberbullying (69%), associando-se significativamente a sintomatologia depressiva mais frequente e a uma menor qualidade de vida mental, independentemente da idade, escolaridade, estado civil ou posicionamento político. Estes resultados evidenciam o impacto negativo desta forma de violência de género, reforçando a necessidade de políticas públicas que promovam ambientes digitais seguros e de profissionais de saúde mental capacitados para a integração desta problemática nas práticas clínicas.
This study focuses on cyberbullying as a form of gender-based violence, with particular emphasis on politically active young women. In a context marked by increasing digitalization and persistent structural gender inequalities, this phenomenon constitutes an obstacle to women's full participation in the political sphere. It severely impacts the mental health of victims and is often associated with depressive symptoms and a poorer quality of life. The main objective of the study was to describe the exposure to cyberbullying among young Portuguese women active in politics, aged between 18 and 35, to explore its association with depressive symptoms and quality of life, and to identify associated factors. To this end, an online questionnaire was developed and applied, consisting of standardized scales, including the Left-Right Political Scale, the Cyberbullying-Victimization Questionnaire (CBQ-V), the Cyber-harassment Assessment Scale (CHAS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and the 12- Item Short Form Survey (SF-12). The study involved 91 women. The data collected was analyzed using IBMⓇ SPSSⓇ Statistics software, using bivariate and inferential analysis (multiple regression models). The results suggest a high prevalence of cyberbullying (69%), which is significantly associated with more frequent depressive symptoms and a lower quality of mental life, regardless of age, education, marital status, or political position. These results highlight the negative impact of this form of gender-based violence, reinforcing the need for public policies that promote safe digital environments and for mental health professionals trained to integrate this issue into clinical practice.
