O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral identificar a sintomatologia psicológica e as vivências valorizadas pelos doentes com doença terminal, numa unidade de Cuidados Paliativos no norte de Portugal. A recolha de dados utilizou dos instrumentos a EADS-21 e a VVQ, com uma amostra de conveniência de 8 participantes, com doenças oncológicas e não oncológicas. Foram encontrados resultados positivos para a sintomatologia psicopatológica nos doentes, sendo os estados de depressão (62,50%) e ansiedade (50%) os mais prevalentes. As vivências valorizadas como importantes pelos participantes foram a “Parentalidade”, a “Família de origem”, o “Casamento/Casal/Relações íntimas” e os “Amigos/Vida Social”, os resultados demonstram que a “Família de origem” e a “Espiritualidade/significado e propósito da vida” são domínios de vida onde os participantes referem o desenvolvimento de ações consistentes com os seus valores. O estudo concluiu que a depressão, a ansiedade e o stress são problemas psicológicos significativos enfrentados pelos doentes em Cuidados Paliativos. Abordar estas questões através de cuidados psicológicos, apoio espiritual, preservação da identidade e relações familiares podem ajudar os doentes a manter um sentido de dignidade e bem-estar psicológico face a uma doença terminal.
The general aim of this study was to identify the psychological symptoms and the living values of terminally ill patients in a palliative care unit in the north of Portugal. Data collection used the EADS-21 and the VVQ instruments, with a convenience sample of 8 participants, with oncological and non-oncological diseases. Positive results were found for psychopathological symptoms in the patients, with depression (62.50%) and anxiety (50%) being the most prevalent. The living values viewed as important by the participants were "Parenthood", "Family of origin", "Marriage/Couple/intimate relationships" and "Friends/social life". The results show that "Family of origin" and "Spirituality/significance and purpose of life" are life domains where the participants refer to developing actions consistent with their values. The study concluded that depression, anxiety and stress are significant psychological problems faced by palliative care patients. Addressing these issues through psychological care, spiritual support, identity preservation and family relationships can help patients maintain a sense of dignity and psychological well-being in the face of terminal illness.
