Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como finalidade estudar a importância que o papel da espiritualidade e religiosidade tem na Qualidade de vida dos Idosos. Os participantes
deste estudo foram idosos com idades compreendidas entre os 60 e os 84 anos. A
amostra é constituída por 100 sujeitos de ambos os sexos cuja participação foi
voluntária. Um dos critérios de exclusão foi a presença de doença física associada e/ou
psicopatologia diagnosticada. É um estudo descritivo, inferencial e de correlação.
A recolha de dados foi efetuada através do questionário sociodemográfico, do
instrumento WHOQOL-Bref, do Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) da escala de
Coping Religioso e Espiritual (RCOPE adaptada a população portuguesa de Portugal) e
Escala Geriátrica de Depressão (EGD).
Os resultados alcançados revelam que não há relação entre a qualidade de vida e
as estratégias positivas de coping religioso e espiritual. Verificou-se ainda que existem
diferenças estatisticamente significativas na utilização de estratégias de coping religioso
e espiritual positivo em função do género, sendo as mulheres as que mais utilizam estas
estratégias.
Verificou-se também que não existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas
em termos de utilização de estratégias de coping religioso e espiritual positivo face à
deterioração cognitiva. Por último observou-se que os participantes, independentemente
do estado civil, utilizam estratégias de coping religioso e espiritual positivo.
Os dados do presente estudo revelam a importância da utilização das estratégias
de coping religioso e espiritual positivo, como, fator protetor para as situações de vida,
físicas e psicológicas, na velhice.
