Resumo(s)
Grande parte da população vivencia ao menos um evento traumático na vida. A violência pelo parceiro íntimo (VPI) é um evento interpessoal que afeta especialmente mulheres, aumentando o risco de Perturbação de Stress PósTraumático (PSPT) e impactando o sentido da vida. Este estudo analisou a relação entre eventos de vida traumáticos, sintomas de PSPT e sentido da vida em mulheres sobreviventes à VPI, comparandoas com mulheres sem experiência de VPI. Participaram 120 mulheres (39 sobreviventes à VPI e 81 sem esta vivência), com idades entre 19 e 77 anos. Aplicaramse o Questionário Sociodemográfico, o Life Events Checklist (LEC5), o Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM5 (PCL5) e o Questionário do Sentido da Vida (Meaning in Life Questionnaire). Mulheres sobreviventes à VPI relataram ter experienciado mais eventos de vida traumáticos e apresentaram níveis mais elevados de sintomas de PSPT, porém não diferiram quanto ao sentido da vida relativamente às mulheres sem história de VPI. Experienciar eventos traumáticos correlacionou-se positivamente com sintomatologia de PSPT, mas sem relação significativa com o sentido da vida. Sintomas de PSPT associaram-se negativamente com a presença de sentido da vida e positivamente com a procura de sentido. O número de eventos traumáticos demonstrou capacidade preditiva significativa para os sintomas de PSPT, mas não para o sentido da vida. Em contraste, a sintomatologia de PSPT emergiu como o principal preditor de uma menor presença de sentido da vida. Os resultados indicam que o impacto psicológico subsequente ao trauma, e não apenas a vivência do evento, influencia o sentido da vida, reforçando sua importância como recurso psicológico protetor em mulheres sobreviventes à VPI.
A large proportion of the population experiences at least one traumatic event in life. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an interpersonal event that particularly affects women, increasing the risk of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and impacting meaning in life. This study examined the relationship between traumatic life events, PTSD symptoms and meaning in life in women survivors of IPV, compared to women without IPV experience. A total of 120 women participated (39 IPV survivors and 81 without IPV experience), aged 19 to 77 years. The Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Life Events Checklist (LEC5), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM5 (PCL5) and Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) were administered. IPV survivors reported experiencing more traumatic life events and higher levels of PTSD symptoms but did not differ in meaning in life compared to women without an IPV history. Experiencing traumatic events was positively correlated with PTSD symptoms but not significantly associated with meaning in life. PTSD symptoms were negatively associated with presence of meaning in life and positively associated with the search for meaning. The number of traumatic events showed significant predictive power for PTSD symptoms but not for meaning in life. In contrast, PTSD symptomatology emerged as the main predictor of lower presence of meaning in life. These results suggest that the psychological impact following trauma, rather than merely experiencing the event, influences meaning in life highlighting its importance as a protective psychological resource for women survivors of IPV.
