Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve por objetivo geral caracterizar uma amostra de mulheres durante
o período de tratamento pós-mastectomia em relação à qualidade de vida (QdV) e
estratégias de coping. Procurou-se ainda recolher informação relevante para a
construção futura de um programa de intervenção psicológica breve dirigido a mulheres
mastectomizadas, com o intuito de melhorar a qualidade do processo de recuperação
pós-mastectomia. Este trabalho foi realizado numa amostra de mulheres em consulta
pós-mastectomia num hospital central da região norte de Portugal (N=62). O desenho de
estudo é transversal. Foram utilizadas as versões portuguesas dos seguintes
instrumentos de avaliação: World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref)
e o Breif Cope. Foram realizadas estudos descritivos das variáveis, ainda realizadas
análises exploratórias sobre a influência das variáveis sociodemográficas: estado civil,
meio de proveniência e idade nas variáveis psicossociais. Verificou-se associações entre
as estratégias de coping reinterpretação positiva com o estado civil e a estratégias
religião com a idade. Não se verificou associação entre a de QvD com as variáveis
sociodemográficas. No final foram discutidas as limitações do estudo e discutidas as
implicações dos resultados em termos de investigação futura e no desenvolvimento de
programas de intervenção para melhorar a qualidade do processo de recuperação pósmastectomia.
The study at hands main objective is to characterize a range of women during the therapy after a mastectomy referring to the quality of life and the strategy of coping. Nevertheless there still has to be collected relevant information for the future construction of programs of psychological intervention for, briefly said, mastectomy women, with the intention to improve the quality of recovery after a mastectomy. This work was made with a selection of women during the therapy after a mastectomy at a central hospital in the northern region of Portugal (N=62). The sources for this study are transversal. The Portuguese editions of the following evaluations were used: World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref) and Breif Cope. Describable surveys were executed with the help of fluctuating or still being undertaken investigating analysis under the influence of mutable sociodemografics: marital status or by origin or age as mutable psycho-social measures. One can assert correlations between the strategy of coping and the marital status as well as between the strategy of religion and age. However no connection could be made between QvD and any of the mutable sociodemografics. To finish off, the limits to the study and the impact of the results on future investigations as well as on the development of programs of intervention to improve the quality of the recovery process after a mastectomy were discussed.
