Abstract(s)
Em Portugal existe uma quantidade muito limitada de estudos acerca do impacto
do Locus de Controlo e as estratégias de Coping utilizadas pelos pacientes com dor
crónica. A dor é um fenómeno fisiológico de importância fundamental para a
integridade física do indivíduo. As crenças que os pacientes possuem acerca da doença
bem como as estratégias por estes utilizados são de enorme relevância para o sucesso da
diminuição da dor experienciada por parte do sujeito. A presente investigação aborda o
tema da dor crónica, procurando estudar a relação entre o locus de controlo bem como
as estratégias de coping pelos pacientes com dor crónica na adaptação à sua nova
condição médica. A amostra será constituída por 72 pacientes todos pertencentes à
consulta da Dor do Centro Hospitalar do Alto Ave (CHAA). Foram aplicados quatro
instrumentos de avaliação: Questionário Sócio- Demográfico e Clinico, Questionário
de Meios para lidar com a Dor (Brown, 1995), a Escala Visual Anológica (2000) e o
Questionário de Crenças do controlo da dor (Skevinghton, 1995).
De uma forma geral, os resultados demonstram que os sujeitos que participaram
neste estudo não possuem estratégias de coping adequadas, o que demonstra uma
atitude rectro-activa perante a doença. Uma grande maioria destes sujeitos tende-se a
acomodar bastante ao papel de doente, desempenhando com bastante dificuldade a sua
actividade quotidiana e laboral. Relativamente à avaliação das crenças, podemos
constatar que os sujeitos que participaram neste estudo possuem um locus de controlo
virado para o exterior, isto é, depositam a melhora da sua doença nos médicos
especialistas e em crenças superiores, afirmando que a uma melhoria do seu quadro
geral passará pela ajuda destes. Assim, não executam nenhuma actividade pró-activa
virada para os ganhos terapêuticos.
Este estudo tem como finalidade contribuir para uma melhoria do conhecimento
acerca da dor e do impacto desta na qualidade de vida numa amostra constituída por
pacientes portugueses. Uma reestruturação das crenças e atitudes disfuncionais dos
pacientes em relação com a sua dor, ajustando as necessidades às suas realidades, pode
evidenciar-se como de extrema eficácia
In Portugal there is a very limited amount of research of the impact of Locus of control and coping strategies used by pacients with chronic pain. Pain is a physiological phenomenon of crucial importance to the physical integrity of the individual. The beliefs that patients have about their disease and the strategies used by them are of enormous importance to the successful reduction of pain experienced by the subject. This research addresses the issue of chronic pain, trying to study the relationship between locus of control and coping strategies by patients with chronic pain in adapting to his new medical condition. The sample consists of all 100 patients belonging to Centro Hospitalar Do Alto Ave (CHAA). Will be applied four assessment instruments: Questionnaire Means to deal with the pain (Brown, 1995), Scale Visual Anolog (2000) and Beliefs Questionnaire of pain control (Skevinghton, 1995). Overall, the results show that subjects who participated in this study do not have adequate coping strategies, which demonstrates an attitude rectro-active before the illness. A large majority of these individuals tend to hold a lot of the sick role, playing with some difficulty to their daily activities and work. Concerning the assessment of beliefs, we note that the subjects who participated in this study have a locus of control, outward facing, ie, deposit the improvement of their disease in medical specialists and higher beliefs, stating that an improvement in your picture the general will help them. So, do not perform any activities proactively facing the therapeutic gain. It is hoped that this study will contribute to improving knowledge about the pain and the impact of this on quality of life in a sample of patients portugueses. A restructuring of dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes of patients in relation to their pain, needs adjusting to their realities, may show up as extremely effective.
