Resumo(s)
O ciberabuso constitui uma expressão contemporânea da violência nas relações de intimidade. O presente estudo quantitativo, online, teve como objetivo analisar a associação entre a exposição ao ciberabuso (questionário de ciberabuso no namoro - CibAN), indicadores de saúde mental percebida (Mental Health Inventory-5), a qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-BREF), a literacia em saúde mental (questionário de literacia em saúde mental – versão adultos) e os comportamentos de adiamento ou não procura de cuidados de saúde em jovens adultos portugueses. A amostra foi constituída por 92 participantes (77.2% mulheres), com idades compreendidas entre os 19-30 anos. A prevalência de vitimização por ciberabuso no último ano foi de 50% e de 62% ao longo da vida. A perpetração de ciberabuso associou-se a indicadores menos favoráveis de saúde mental, literacia em saúde mental e uma pior perceção da qualidade de vida. 54.3% dos participantes reportaram ter adiado a procura de cuidados de saúde mental. O adiamento de cuidados associou-se com pior saúde mental percebida, (MHI-5, Média = 46.21; Desvio Padrão = 20.82 nos que adiaram, vs. M = 58.67; DP = 15.07 nos que não adiaram, p = .001). Estes resultados poderão contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de prevenção da violência e promoção da procura e acesso atempado a cuidados de saúde mental.
Cyber dating abuse is a contemporary form of violence in intimate relationships. The present quantitative study, conducted online, aimed to examine the association between exposure to cyber dating abuse (Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire – CibAN), perceived mental health (Mental Health Inventory-5), quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF), mental health literacy (Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire – Adult Version), and behaviours related to delaying or forgoing healthcare among Portuguese young adults. The sample comprised 92 participants (77.2% women), aged between 19 and 30 years. The prevalence of cyber dating abuse victimisation was 50% during the previous year and 62% across the lifetime. Cyber dating abuse perpetration was associated with poorer perceived mental health, lower mental health literacy, and poorer perceived quality of life. Additionally, 54.3% of participants reported having delayed seeking mental healthcare. Delaying mental healthcare was associated with poorer perceived mental health (MHI-5; M = 46.21, SD = 20.82 among those who delayed care vs. M = 58.67, SD = 15.07 among those who did not; p = .001). These findings may contribute to the development of strategies aimed at preventing cyber dating abuse and promoting timely help-seeking behaviours and access to mental healthcare.
