Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Este estudo analisou a relação entre as variáveis stress, resiliência, suporte social (SS)
e a qualidade de vida (QV) física e QV psicológica na menopausa, tal como analisou diferenças
entre mulheres nos diferentes estádios da menopausa nas variáveis psicossociais em estudo.
Método: Estudo quantitativo e corte transversal, num só momento. O stress, resiliência, SS e a
QV física e psicológica foram avaliados numa amostra de 135 mulheres na menopausa, por
meio do preenchimento de instrumentos de autorrelato, via online.
Resultados: Verificaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos diferentes estádios da
menopausa apenas a nível do SS. As mulheres na peri-menopausa relataram níveis superiores
de SS. O stress correlacionou-se negativamente com a QV física e psicológica e a resiliência e
o SS correlacionaram-se positivamente com a QV física e psicológica. Adicionalmente,
verificou-se que mais anos de escolaridade, menos stress e mais resiliência predizem melhor
QV física e psicológica na menopausa.
Conclusões e Implicações: Estes resultados sugerem que a QV não varia nos diferentes estádios
da menopausa e que maior escolaridade, menor stress e maior resiliência se encontram
associados a melhor QV. Mais estudos são necessários para identificar que fatores específicos
de resiliência podem ser associados a melhor QV, nesta fase de transição de vida das mulheres.
Objective: This study analyzed the relationship between stress, resilience, social support (SS) and quality of life (QoL) in menopause, as analyzed differences between women in different stages of menopause in the psychosocial variables under study. Method: Quantitative study and cross-sectional, in a single moment. Stress, resilience, SS, physical and psychological QoL in menopause were evaluated in a sample of 135 menopausal women through the completion of self-reporting instruments, via online. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in different stages of menopause only at SS level. Women in perimenopause reporting higher SS levels. Stress correlated negatively with physical and psychological QoL, and resilience and SS correlated positively with physical and psychological QoL. In addition, it was found that more years of schooling, less stress and more resilience predict better physical and psychological QoL in menopause. Conclusions and Implications: These results suggest that QoL does not vary in different stages of menopause, in addition, higher education, less stress and higher resilience were associated with better QoL. Further studies are needed to identify which specific resilience factors can be associated with better QoL, in this transitional phase of women´s lives.
