Resumo(s)
Transtorno Obsessivo Compulsivo (TOC) é uma patologia que traz diversos prejuízos aos doentes, afetando nomeadamente a qualidade de vida. Parte dos pacientes, mesmo quando submetidos ao tratamento padrão, mantêm sintomas residuais. Junta-se a esse fator um crescente interesse em técnicas alternativas e complementares para serem usadas nos tratamentos de saúde mental, incluindo técnicas de corpo-mente (yoga e meditação). Frustração com tratamento convencional, menos efeitos colaterais e menor estigma, são algumas razões na literatura para o interesse nessas técnicas no âmbito da saúde mental. O presente estudo pretendeu avaliar o nível de abertura e de aceitação das técnicas alternativas e complementares no tratamento do TOC entre psicólogos e pacientes e, especificamente, averiguar se esses conheciam um protocolo para tratamento do TOC dentro da Kundalini Yoga (KY) e suas respectivas opiniões. Pretendeu-se também comparar os grupos em relação ao conhecimento em yoga e meditação para saúde mental, nível de conhecimento específico no protocolo de KY para TOC e abertura para técnicas de meditação. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo, transversal e não experimental. Na primeira fase do estudo participaram 34 pessoas (psicoterapeutas e pacientes) e, na segunda fase, cinco psicólogos. O estudo mostrou haver abertura em ambos os grupos para técnicas alternativas e complementares, com abertura significativamente maior entre os psicólogos para complementar o tratamento do TOC, mais conhecimentos gerais em yoga e meditação entre os psicólogos. Para as mesmas variáveis não se encontraram diferenças significativas quando comparando os grupos por gênero. O estudo mostrou um conhecimento nulo neste protocolo de KY entre pacientes e bastante baixo entre psicólogos. Este estudo pode contribuir para divulgar o protocolo da KY como forma de tratamento complementar do TOC, entre psicoterapeutas e pacientes, sendo escassa a literatura sobre esse protocolo e o seu potencial relevo na saúde mental.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a pathology that impairs patients in multiple ways, namely by affecting their quality of life. Some of the patients, even those undergoing standard treatment, still exhibit residual symptoms. Moreover, there has been a growing interest in alternate and complementary techniques applied to mental health treatment, including body-mind techniques (yoga and meditation). Frustration with a conventional treatment, fewer side-effects and less stigma are some of the reasons in literature for an increasing interest in such approaches to mental health. This study has sought to measure the level of openness and acceptance of such alternate and complementary techniques among psychologists and patients, and specifically to determine if they were familiar with a Kundalini Yoga (KY) protocol for OCD treatment, in addition to establishing their respective opinions on this matter. It also sought to compare groups according to their acquaintance with yoga and meditation for mental health, specific level of knowledge of the KY protocol for OCD, and openness to meditation techniques. It is a qualitative and quantitative, cross-sectional and nonexperimental study. Its first phase included 34 participants (psychotherapists and patients), while its second phase included five psychologists. The study indicated openness to alternate and complementary techniques in both groups, with a significantly larger acceptance of a complementary OCD treatment among psychologists, who also displayed a better overall knowledge of yoga and meditation. No significant differences were found under the same variables when groups were compared by gender. Knowledge among patients of the KY protocol was nil, while psychologists showed a very limited knowledge. This study can contribute to promote the KY protocol as a complementary OCD treatment among therapists and patients, given the scarce literature and the potential relevance of this protocol in mental health treatment.
