Abstract(s)
Introdução: A Síndrome dos Ovários Poliquísticos (SOP) é uma perturbação endócrina comum
que afeta 5%-20% da população feminina, manifestando-se em diferentes fenótipos. Os efeitos
físicos estão associados a perturbações psicossociais, que podem ter implicações ao nível da
qualidade de vida. Objetivo: O objetivo principal é analisar os preditores negativos da
qualidade de vida em mulheres com a SOP, incluindo as variáveis: sintomas de ansiedade e
depressão, ajustamento conjugal e perceção sobre a doença. Método: A recolha de dados foi
realizada com o preenchimento de um questionário online que incluiu: Questionário
Sociodemográfico, Medical Outcome Study, Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar,
Escala de Ajustamento Conjugal e Questionário de Perceção sobre a Doença; a amostra é
constituída 221 mulheres, 150 com SOP e 71 no grupo controlo. Resultados: O grupo SOP
apresenta menor qualidade de vida, sintomatologia depressiva superior, e menor ajustamento
conjugal comparativamente ao grupo controlo. Mulheres com SOP com pior qualidade de vida
evidenciam pontuações superiores de sintomatologia ansiosa e depressiva, pior ajustamento
conjugal e perceção sobre a doença; as que apresentaram pontuações superiores de
sintomatologia ansiosa e depressiva evidenciaram pior ajustamento conjugal e perceção sobre
a doença. Adicionalmente, a sintomatologia depressiva e perceção sobre a doença são indicadas
como fatores preditores para pior qualidade de vida a nível físico; e as variáveis sintomatologia
ansiosa, depressiva e perceção sobre a doença são fatores preditores para pior qualidade de vida
a nível mental. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstram a importância da saúde mental e
perceção sobre a doença na qualidade de vida de mulheres com SOP; comprovando a
necessidade de abordar estes fatores na intervenção psicológica com esta população.
Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disturbance that affects 5% -20% of the female population, manifesting itself in different phenotypes. Physical effects are associated with psychosocial disturbances, which may have implications for quality of life. Objective: The main objective is to analyse negative predictors of quality of life in women with PCOS, including variables: symptoms of anxiety and depression, marital adjustment, and perception of the disease. Method: Data collection was performed with the completion of an online questionnaire that included: sociodemographic questionnaire, Medical Outcome Study, anxiety scale and hospital depression, marital adjustment scale and perception questionnaire about the disease; The sample consists of 221 women, 150 with POS and 71 in the control group. Results: The PCOS group has lower quality of life, superior depressive symptomatology, and less conjugal adjustment compared to the control group. Women with worst quality of life show higher scores of anxious and depressed symptoms, worse marital adjustment, and perception of the disease; those with higher scores of anxious and depressed symptoms showed worse marital adjustment and perception of the disease. Additionally, depressive symptomatology and perception of the disease are indicated as predictor factors for worse quality of life at physical level; and the anxious, depressive symptoms and perception of the disease variables are predicting factors for the worse quality of life at the mental level. Conclusion: Results demonstrate the importance of mental health and perception of the disease in the quality of life of women with PCOS; proving the need to address these factors in psychological intervention with this population.
