Abstract(s)
A obesidade surge associada a diversas doenças crónicas e o indivíduo obeso experiencia
frequentemente prejuízo a nível psicossocial e emocional. A evolução da sociedade atual tem
contribuído para o aumento crescente desta doença e do preconceito que esta encerra. A falta
de atividade física está, indubitavelmente, entre os principais fatores de desenvolvimento e
manutenção da obesidade. Associadas à prática de atividade física na população obesa,
encontram-se inúmeras variáveis psicossociais, clínicas e sócio-demográficas. O objetivo
deste estudo é estudar a associação entre o auto-conceito, o estado emocional e a prática de
atividade física numa uma amostra de mulheres adultas obesas do Centro de Saúde de Santo
Tirso. Os instrumentos utilizados para este estudo foram o Hospital Anxiety and Depression
Scale para avaliar o estado emocional, o Inventário Clínico do Auto Conceito para avaliar o
auto conceito e o International Physical Activity Questionnaire para caraterizar a atividade
física da amostra. Constatou-se que as utentes que não praticam atividade física são mais
propensas a apresentar um fraco auto conceito e níveis mais elevados de ansiedade e
depressão.
Obesity is associated with several chronic diseases. Obese individuals often experience psychosocial and emotional impairment. The evolution of today's society has contributed to the rising tide of this disease and with it, the prejudice that it encloses. Lack of physical activity is undoubtedly among the main factors in the development and maintenance of obesity. Physical activity in the obese population is associated with numerous psychosocial variables, clinical and socio-demographic characteristics. The aim of this study is to examine the association between self-concept, emotional state and physical activity in a sample of 51 obese women, users of the Health Center of Santo Tirso. The instruments used for this study were the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to assess the emotional state, the Inventário Clínico do Auto Conceito to assess the self concept and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire to characterize the physical activity of the sample. It was found that the users who do not exercise are more likely to have poor self concept and high levels of anxiety and depression.
