Abstract(s)
O presente estudo apresentou como objetivo geral avaliar a relação entre o padrão de consumo de probióticos e a autoavaliação da regulação emocional durante a pandemia COVID-19, mais especificamente, procurou avaliar (1) a perceção do efeito da pandemia na regulação emocional dos indivíduos; (2) comparar o consumo dos probióticos antes e durante o primeiro período de confinamento; e (3) a perceção dos indivíduos quanto aos efeitos que a toma dos probióticos apresentam na sua saúde. Este estudo exploratório de carácter descritivo e correlacional foi realizado através de um questionário autoadministrado online e contou com uma amostra constituída por 251 participantes. Os resultados comprovaram uma relação positiva entre o impacto da pandemia e a capacidade de regulação emocional dos participantes, assim como, um aumento significativo do consumo de probióticos durante o confinamento. Como será discutido, o impacto da pandemia é desigual entre o sexo feminino e masculino. Para além das alterações na frequência de consumo dos probióticos comparativamente ao período anterior ao confinamento, identificaram-se também mudanças nas razões de consumo. Finalmente, os dados apresentam uma relação positiva entre o consumo de produtos probióticos e a capacidade de regulação emocional. Por último, são consideradas algumas limitações do estudo e sugestões para futuras investigações.
The general objective of this study was to assess the relationship between the pattern of probiotic consumption and self-assessment of emotional regulation during the COVID-19 pandemic, more specifically, it sought to assess (1) the perception of the pandemic’s effect on the emotional regulation of individuals; (2) compare the consumption of probiotics before and during the first period of lockdown (March 2020); and (3) the individuals' perception of the effects of taking probiotics in their health. This exploratory descriptive and correlational study was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire with a sample of 251 participants. The results proved a positive relationship between the impact of the pandemic and the emotional regulation ability of the participants, as well as a significant increase in probiotic consumption during lockdown. As will be discussed, the impact of the pandemic is uneven between females and males. In addition to changes in the frequency of probiotic consumption compared to the period prior to lockdown, changes in the reasons for consumption were also identified. Finally, the data shows a positive relationship between consumption of probiotic products and emotional regulation ability. Finally, some limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are considered.
