Abstract(s)
A diabetes mellitus tipo I (DMI) é um tipo de diabetes que aparece mais frequentemente
nas crianças e nos jovens e acarreta um tratamento rigoroso. Tem sido bem estabelecida
a relação entre sintomas psicológicos desadaptativos, nomeadamente, baixa adesão
terapêutica, stresse, ansiedade e depressão, entre os jovens portadores de DMI. Tal
relação requer uma investigação sistemática. Nesta ótica, o mindfulness tem recebido
um interesse crescente em áreas como saúde mental e na doença crónica. Assim, este
estudo tem como objetivos estudar a relação entre o mindfulness e o ajustamento
psicossocial à DMI no adolescente, assim como, conhecer o peso relativo da medida do
mindfulness, e os seus diferentes fatores em relação ao stresse face à diabetes. Trata-se
de um estudo quantitativo, correlacional e transversal, recorrendo-se a uma amostra de
conveniência de 40 adolescentes com DMI da Consulta de Diabetes Pediátrica do
Centro Hospitalar do Alto Ave, EPE e do Hospital de Braga. Os instrumentos utilizados
foram: o Questionário de Adesão Terapêutica; o Questionário das Cinco Facetas de
Mindfulness, o Questionário de Stresse Face à Diabetes e a Escala de Ansiedade e
Depressão Hospitalar. Realizaram-se também análises bioquímicas da hemoglobina
glicosilada (HbA1c). Os resultados deste estudo vêm corroborar a existência de uma
relação significativa entre mindfulness e o ajustamento psicossocial à diabetes, estando
níveis mais elevados de mindfulness associados a maior ajustamento psicossocial na
DMI. Constatou-se que, o mindfulness está significativamente correlacionado com o
stresse face à diabetes. Os resultados revelaram ainda, que níveis superiores de
mindfulness estão associados a menos sintomatologia ansiosa e depressiva. No entanto,
não encontramos correlações estatisticamente significativas entre o mindfulness e a
adesão ao tratamento. Verificou-se ainda, que a competência, do mindfulness,
“Descrever” é a variável que melhor relação negativa apresenta com a variável “Stresse
face à Diabetes”.
Diabetes mellitus type I (DMI) is a type of diabetes that appears most often in children and young people and carries a strict treatment. There has been a well established relationship between maladaptive psychological symptoms, including poor adherence, stress, anxiety and depression among adolescents with DMI. This relationship requires a systematic investigation. From this perspective, mindfulness has received an increasing interest in areas such as mental health and chronic disease. Thus, this study aims to study the relationship between mindfulness and psychosocial adjustment to DMI adolescents, as well as knowing the relative measure of mindfulness, and the various factors in relation to stress on diabetes. This is a quantitative, correlational and crosssectional drawing to a convenience sample of 40 adolescents with DMI Query Diabetes Pediatric Hospital Center of Alto Ave, EPE and Braga Hospital. The instruments used were: Therapeutic Adherence Questionnaire, Questionnaire of the Five Facets of Mindfulness, Stress Questionnaire Face to Diabetes Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression. Were also conducted biochemical analyses of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The results of this study corroborate the existence of a significant relationship between mindfulness and psychosocial adjustment to diabetes, with higher levels of mindfulness associated with greater psychosocial adjustment in DMI. It was found that mindfulness is significantly correlated with the stress on diabetes. The results also revealed that higher levels of mindfulness are associated with less anxiety and depression symptoms. However, we found no statistically significant correlations between mindfulness and treatment adherence. It was further observed that the power of mindfulness, "description" is the variable that best shows negative relationship with the variable "stress due to the diabetes."
