Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto das alterações
cognitivas na qualidade de vida num grupo de pessoas com Esclerose Múltipla
Recidivante-Remitente (EMRR). Para tal foi utilizada uma bateria de avaliação
neuropsicológica, que inclui provas que avaliam as funções cognitivas indicadas na
literatura como as mais alteradas neste tipo de patologia. Posteriormente foi aplicado o
questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36. A amostra foi constituída por 40 participantes,
divididos em grupo clínico e grupo de controlo, compostos respetivamente por 20
pessoas com EMRR e 20 pessoas saudáveis. Deste modo, concluiu-se que existem
diferenças significativas entre os grupos em quase todos os domínios avaliados. Estas
diferenças mostraram um impacto significativo na qualidade de vida nos domínios
Saúde Mental e Saúde Geral.
The main purpose of this study was to assess cognitive disturbances in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, aiming to establish their impact on quality of life. For this purpose, a neuropsychological evaluation battery was used, to evaluate the most affected domains indicated in literature in this type of pathology. At the end the SF-36 questionnaire of life was applied. The sample consisted of 40 participants, divided into a clinical group and a control group, respectively composed of 20 patients and 20 healthy subjects from the community. We concluded that there were significant differences between groups in almost all areas evaluated. These differences manifest a significant impact on quality of life, particularly in mental health and general health.
