Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a relação entre dor crónica, perceção
da doença e morbilidade psicológica, procurando explicar a existência de morbilidade psicológica, devendo-se intervir nas crenças para melhorar a
saúde física e mental dos doentes com dor crónica
psicológica em doentes com dor crónica. Tratou-se de um estudo observacional analíticotransversal
com uma amostra de 200 doentes com dor crónica. Os instrumentos
administrados incluíram um questionário sociodemográfico, versões traduzidas do
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) e do Illness Perception Questionnaire –
Brief (IPQ-B). Verificaram-se correlações significativas entre todas as escalas de crenças
e intensidade de dor, escala de ansiedade e de depressão. A partir de uma Regressão
Linear Múltipla, verificou-se que a sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa em doentes com
dor crónica é melhor explicada pelas crenças de doença do que pela intensidade da dor.
As crenças de doença são de elevada importância para a compreensão da dor crónica e da
existência de morbilidade psicológica, devendo-se intervir nas crenças para melhorar a
saúde física e mental dos doentes com dor crónica.
This study aims to verify the existence of relationships between chronic pain, the illness perceptions and psychological morbidity by seeking to explain the existence of psychological morbidity in patients with chronic pain. This study is a analytic crosssectional observational with a sample of two hundred patients with chronic pain. The instruments administered included a socio-demographic questionnaire, versions translated from the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Illness Perception Questionnaire - Brief (IPQ-B). The results found significant correlations were observed between all scales of belief and intensity of pain and the scales of anxiety and depression. From a Multiple Linear Regression, it was found that the symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic pain are better explained by illness perceptions rather than the intensity of pain. In conclusion, the illness perceptions are of great importance for the understanding of chronic pain and the existence of psychological morbidity meaning that dealing with the belief of illness is essential to improve physical and mental health.
