Objetivo: O luto antecipatório éum fenómeno emergente entre os cuidadores familiares portugueses que permanecepouco explorado, especialmente na forma como se relaciona com a sobrecarga, avinculação e o sentido de vida. Este estudo teve como objetivo explorar essasassociações. Métodos: Desenvolveu-se um estudo quantitativo,descritivo-analítico, com uma amostra de conveniência constituída por 60cuidadores familiares portugueses. Os participantes eram maioritariamente dosexo feminino (83.3%), com idades entre os 23 e os 72 anos (M = 51.07; DP =9.20). Os instrumentos aplicados foram o Inventário de Luto para os Cuidadoresde Marwit-Meuser–Forma Reduzida, a Escala de Zarit, o Experiences in CloseRelationships–Relationship Structures Questionnaire e o Questionário do Sentidoda Vida. Resultados: Verificou-se uma relação significativa, positiva emoderada entre o Luto Antecipatório e a Sobrecarga (rs = .83, p < .01).Verificou-se também uma relação significativa com a Vinculação, nomeadamenteuma relação negativa e baixa entre o Evitamento e a Preocupação e Sentimento deIsolamento (rs = -.26, p = .04). Quanto ao Sentido de Vida, verificou-se umarelação significativa negativa e baixa entre o Luto Antecipatório e a Presença(rs = -.33, p = .01), bem como uma relação significativa positiva e moderadacom a Procura (rs = .46, p = .001). Conclusões: Os resultados reforçam anecessidade de intervenções psicológicas que promovam a adaptação ao processode luto antecipatório, através do reconhecimento e elaboração da perda.
Objective: Anticipatory grief is an emerging phenomenon among Portuguese family carers that remains largely unexplored, especially in relation to overload, attachment and meaning of life. This study aimed to explore these associations. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive-analytical study was developed with a convenience sample of 60 Portuguese family caregivers. The participants were mostly female (83.3%), aged between 23 and 72 years (M= 51.07; SD= 9.20). The instruments used were the Marwit-Meuser Caregiver Bereavement Inventory–Short Form, the Zarit Scale, the Experiences in Close Relationships–Relationship Structures Questionnaire, and the Meaning of Life Questionnaire. Results: A significant, positive, and moderate relationship was found between Anticipatory Grief and Burden (rs = .83, p < .01). A significant relationship was also found with Attachment, in particularl a negative and low relationship between Avoidance and Concern and Feeling of Isolation (rs = -.26, p = .04). Regarding Meaning of Life, a significant negative and low relationship was found between Anticipatory Grief and Presence (rs = -.33, p = .01), as well as a significant positive and moderate relationship with Search (rs = .46, p = .001). Conclusions: The results highlight the need for psychological interventions that promote adaptation to the process of anticipatory grief through recognition and processing of loss.
