Abstract(s)
Atualmente a definição de somatização tem sido alvo de muita controvérsia na comunidade
científica, resultando por isso, numa variedade de termos e rótulos para a descrever. A
definição mais consensual remete para a incapacidade do individuo gerir as próprias emoções
e preocupações, que, consequentemente, se manifestam através de sintomas físicos. Neste
sentido, são vários os estudos que relacionam a ocorrência de eventos traumáticos (ET) e
perturbação do stress pós-traumático (PSPT) com a somatização. Para além disto, também a
perda de recursos se encontra fortemente associada aos ET e PSPT, pelo que será incorporada
no objetivo da presente investigação. Assim sendo, o presente estudo tem como propósito
explorar a relação entre EPT, sintomatologia PSPT, perda de recursos e somatização,
investigando a contribuição das variáveis supracitadas ao nível da somatização.
Adicionalmente, é considerado o objetivo de comparar vítimas de um EPT e vítimas de mais
do que um EPT, ao nível da sintomatologia PSPT, da perda de recursos e somatização. Este é
um estudo de design transversal, com 180 participantes utentes dos cuidados de saúde
primários (CSP). Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Questionário socio demográfico; Life
Events Checklist; o Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM‐5; o questionário The
Conservation of Resources; Inventário reduzido de sintomas somáticos. Os resultados
permitiram constatar correlação positiva entre EPT e Somatização e, revelaram ainda, que
sujeitos que passaram por EPT’s de forma repetida estão mais vulneráveis à sintomatologia
PSPT, PR (stress doméstico) e somatização, do que os sujeitos que experienciaram apenas um
EPT. Os resultados do presente estudo poderão ser úteis para elaborar programas de
promoção do bem estar dos utentes em CSP, considerando as dimensões mente e corpo como
entidades distinguíveis, mas não separáveis.
Currently, somatization setting has been the subject of much controversy in the scientific community, which results in a variety of terms and labels to describe it. The one consensual definition refers to the inability of the individual to manage his own emotions and concerns, which, consequently, are manifested through physical symptoms. In this sense, there are many studies that relate the occurrence of traumatic events (TE) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with somatization. In addition, the loss of resources is also strongly associated with ET and PSPT, so it will be incorporated into the objective of this investigation. Thus, the present study aims to explore the relationship between PTSD, PSPT symptomatology, loss of resources and somatization, investigating the contribution of these variables to the level of somatization. Additionally, the objective is to compare victims of a TE and victims of more than one TE, at the level of PSPT symptomatology, loss of resources and somatization. This study is a cross-sectional design study with 180 primary care (PC). The instruments used were the Questionário sociodemográfico; Life Events Checklist; the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM‐5; the Conservation of Resources questionnaire; Reduced inventory of somatic symptoms. The results showed a positive correlation between TE and Somatization and, also revealed, that subjects who have repeatedly undergone TE are more vulnerable to PSPT symptoms, loss resources (domestic stress) and somatization, than subjects who have experienced only one TE’s. The results of the present study may be useful to develop programs to promote the well-being of users in CSP, considering the mind and body dimensions as distinguishable but not separable entities.
