Abstract(s)
Das várias doenças existentes, a doença oncológica é das principais causas de morte em Portugal e em
todo o mundo. Geralmente o tratamento da doença oncológica prolonga-se no tempo, sendo assim fonte de
sofrimento, com efeitos negativos no dia-a-dia do doente e da sua família. Assim, a presente dissertação teve
como objetivo a realização de uma meta-análise sobre o sofrimento e coping em doentes oncológicos, com
análise sistemática de vários programas de intervenção psicológica implementados junto de mulheres com
cancro de mama. Verificou-se que esta doença afeta o doente de várias formas, provocando sofrimento
significativo, exigindo-lhes a utilização de diferentes estratégias de coping, para se adaptarem à doença.
Conclui-se assim, que uma intervenção somente médica junto de doentes com cancro poderá não ser eficiente,
tal como foi possível constatar, considerando-se viável a implementação de programas de intervenção
psicológica, para que os doentes consigam lidar com o sofrimento, utilizando diferentes estratégias adaptadas.
Neste sentido, entende-se que não é possível realizar uma separação coerente e linear entre o psíquico e o físico,
sendo esta a perspetiva apresentada e defendida ao longo da dissertação.
Among all existing illnesses, oncologic disease is among the main causes of death both in Portugal and worldwide. Usually, its treatment extends throughout time and it a source of suffering with negative consequences in everyday life for the patient and his/her family. Therefore, this thesis consists of a meta-analysis regarding suffering and coping among oncologic patients, by analysing several psychological intervention programs aimed toward women whom have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It has been possible to conclude that this illness affects the patient in various ways, causing significative suffering and demanding several coping strategies in order to adapt to the disease. Therefore, it is possible to reach the conclusion that a purely clinical intervention among these patients might not be sufficiently efficient. The implementation of psychological intervention programs is needed to allow the patients to deal with their suffering through the use of several techniques these might teach them. These conclusions should invalidate clear separations between the physical and psychic realms, a perspective which is presented and defended throughout this thesis.
