Resumo(s)
O luto complicado pode ocorrer após a perda de um ente querido, resultando em um processo de luto prolongado e em dificuldades significativas para lidar com a perda. O recurso ao mindfulness, prática que envolve a consciência plena e intencional do momento presente, sem julgamento, está associado a efeitos positivos na saúde mental e no bem-estar geral das pessoas, podendo ser determinante para lidar com a perda. Neste estudo foram analisadas as experiências de luto, a flexibilidade psicológica, a aceitação do luto e o mindfulness (traço/prática) em indivíduos enlutados, estudando a relação entre inflexibilidade psicológica e evitação experiencial e mindfulness (traço/prática) e experiência de luto. A amostra é composta por 279 adultos portugueses maiores de 18 anos, em processo de luto há pelo menos seis meses. A recolha de dados, decorreu online, com recurso ao Inventário de Luto Complicado, a Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, e a Escala de Atenção e Consciência Plena. Os resultados encontrados neste estudo apontam para diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos sintomas de luto complicado de acordo com a proximidade da pessoa falecida e com o tempo decorrido desde a perda, mas não se encontraram diferenças com a prática de mindfulness. As análises de correlação mostraram que níveis elevados de inflexibilidade e evitação experiencial estão associados a maior intensidade de sintomatologia de luto complicado enquanto níveis mais elevados de traço de mindfulness estão relacionados com níveis inferiores de inflexibilidade psicológica e evitação experiencial.
Complicated grief may occur after the loss of a loved one, resulting in a prolonged grieving process and significant difficulties in coping with the loss. The use of mindfulness, a practice involving full and intentional awareness of the present moment, without judgment, has been associated with positive effects on mental health and overall well-being, and may be a key factor in coping with loss. In this study, grief experiences, psychological flexibility, grief acceptance, and mindfulness (trait/practice) were analyzed among bereaved individuals, examining the relationship between psychological inflexibility and experiential avoidance, mindfulness (trait/practice), and grief experience. The sample consisted of 279 Portuguese adults over 18 years old who had been grieving for at least six months. Data collection was conducted online, using the Inventory of Complicated Grief, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale. The results of this study indicate statistically significant differences in symptoms of complicated grief according to the closeness to the deceased and the time elapsed since the loss, but no differences were found regarding mindfulness practice. Correlation analyses showed that higher levels of psychological inflexibility and experiential avoidance were associated with greater intensity of complicated grief symptoms, whereas higher levels of trait mindfulness were related to lower levels of psychological inflexibility and experiential avoidance.
