Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral contribuir para um maior conhecimento dos padrões de consumo de álcool durante a gravidez em Portugal e compreender a sua relação com a vivência psicológica da gravidez. Os dados foram recolhidos através de um questionário online que inclui um formulário inicial que permite recolher informação referente à caracterização sociodemográfica e também sobre a gravidez. Os instrumentos utilizados e incluídos neste questionário foram o Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test – AUDIT e a Escala de Atitudes sobre a Gravidez e a Maternidade – EAGM. Os principais resultados confirmam a existência de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas durante a gravidez em mulheres grávidas portuguesas, sendo que 20,3% da nossa amostra revela consumo, apesar das recomendações de abstinência total do álcool durante a gravidez, pelo facto de ser desconhecida a existência de um limite seguro para este consumo. Os dados obtidos revelam ainda que as mulheres diminuem o consumo de álcool durante a gravidez. Não foram encontradas correlações significativas entre o consumo de álcool e a vivência psicológica da gravidez. Sugere-se que se continue com esta linha de investigação de forma a aumentar a amostra, uma vez que existe a constatação da limitação de dados nacionais.
The present study aimed to contribute to a greater knowledge about the patterns of alcohol consumption during pregnancy in Portugal and included its relation with the psychological experience of pregnancy. Data were collected through an online questionnaire that includes an initial form that allows to collect information regarding the sociodemographic and pregnancy characterization. The instruments used and included in this questionnaire were: Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Pregnancy and Maternity Attitudes Scale (EAGM). The main results confirm the existence of consumption of alcoholic beverages during pregnancy in Portuguese pregnant women, with 20.3% of our sample showing consumption, despite the recommendations of total abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy, by reason of the unknown existence of a safe limit for this consumption. The data also show that women reduce alcohol consumption during pregnancy. No significant correlations were found between alcohol consumption and the psychological experience of pregnancy. It is suggested to continue this line of investigation in order to increase the sample, since there is a limitation of national data.
