Abstract(s)
A violência por parte do parceiro íntimo (VPI) tem sido associada ao desenvolvimento da
perturbação de stresse pós-traumático (PTSD). A PTSD poderá desenvolver-se após ter sido
exposto a eventos traumáticos, contudo, nem todas as vítimas a desenvolvem. Este estudo
analisa os preditores da PTSD, considerando o impacto da VPI, do trauma na infância, dos
estilos de vinculação e do suporte social numa amostra de vítimas e não vítimas de VPI. Tratase
de um estudo transversal com uma amostra de 196 participantes que responderam a
questionários em forma de autorrelato. Os resultados revelaram que as vítimas de VPI
apresentaram maior relato de trauma na infância, estilos de vinculação mais inseguros, níveis
mais elevados de PTSD e menor suporte social, quando comparadas com as não vítimas. O
trauma na infância revelou-se preditor da sintomatologia de PTSD. Este estudo mostra o
impacto que a VPI possui na saúde mental e sublinha o papel do trauma e dos estilos de
vinculação inseguros, ansioso e evitante, como fatores de risco para a PTSD. É importante o
desenvolvimento de intervenções eficazes que abordem estes padrões específicos de vinculação
na psicoterapia, de modo a reduzir a sintomatologia nas vítimas de VPI.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been associated with the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD may develop after being exposed to traumatic events, however, not all victims develop it. This study analyses the predictors of PTSD, considering the impact of IPV, childhood trauma, attachment styles and social support in a sample of victims and nonvictims of IPV. This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 196 participants who answered questionnaires in the form of a self-report. The results revealed that victims of IPV had a greater report of childhood trauma, more insecure bonding styles, higher levels of PTSD and less social support, when compared to non-victims. Childhood trauma proved to be a Predictor of PTSD symptoms. This study shows the impact that IPV has on mental health and underlines the role of trauma and unsafe, anxious and avoiding attachment styles as risk factors for PTSD. It is important to develop effective interventions that address these specific attachment patterns in psychotherapy in order to reduce symptoms in IPV victims.
