Resumo(s)
A ocorrência de experiências traumáticas na infância têm sido amplamente associadas a consequências negativas na qualidade de vida na idade adulta. Evidências empíricas sugerem que experiências de abuso físico, emocional ou sexual podem relacionar-se com o desenvolvimento de sintomatologia gastrointestinal e com a presença de dor crónica. O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo analisar a relação entre experiências traumáticas na infância, dor crónica e sintomatologia gastrointestinal. Adicionalmente, procurou-se explorar eventuais diferenças entre mulheres com e sem história de acontecimentos traumáticos na infância relativamente às variáveis em estudo. Participaram 120 mulheres, das quais 105 reportaram experiências de acontecimentos traumáticos na infância e 15 não reportaram esse tipo de vivências. Foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico, o Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), o Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) e o Body Perception Questionnaire (BPQ). Os resultados evidenciaram associações positivas e significativas entre abuso físico e emocional na infância, a intensidade e interferência funcional da dor e a sintomatologia gastrointestinal na idade adulta. Contudo, não foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre mulheres com e sem história de experiências traumáticas na infância no que respeita às variáveis avaliadas. A análise de regressão indicou que o abuso na infância constitui um preditor positivo da interferência funcional da dor e da sintomatologia gastrointestinal.
The occurrence of traumatic experiences in childhood has been widely associated with negative consequences for quality of life in adulthood. Empirical evidence suggests that experiences of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse may be related to the development of gastrointestinal symptoms and the presence of chronic pain. The main objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between traumatic childhood experiences, chronic pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, it sought to explore any differences between women with and without a history of traumatic childhood events in relation to the variables under study. One hundred and twenty women participated, of whom 105 reported experiences of traumatic events in childhood and 15 did not report such experiences. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and the Body Perception Questionnaire (BPQ) were used. The results showed positive and significant associations between physical and emotional abuse in childhood, intensity and functional interference of pain, and gastrointestinal symptomatology in adulthood. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between women with and without a history of traumatic experiences in childhood with respect to the variables evaluated. Regression analysis indicated that childhood abuse is a positive predictor of pain functional interference and gastrointestinal symptoms
