Abstract(s)
Este estudo pretendeu compreender a relação entre o bem-estar espiritual e a saúde mental em pessoas com doença oncológica. Foram seleccionados 30 participantes com doença oncológica de um Hospital central, sendo 22 do sexo feminino (73.3%). Os instrumentos utilizados neste estudo foram o MMPI-2 (Minesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2) que mede o nível de saúde mental e o SWBQp (Versão Portuguesa do Questionário de Bem-Estar Espiritual) que avalia o nível de bem-estar espiritual dos participantes. Dos resultados obtidos, salienta-se as escalas da depressão e paranóia como as mais elevadas no Mini-Mult; correlações significativas negativas entre o MMPI-2 e o SWBQp (quanto melhor o resultado na SWBQp, mais baixos são os resultados nas dimensões da Mini-Mult), assim como verificaram-se também diferenças significativas entre o sexo masculino e feminino nas escalas do Mini-Mult, tendo os homens apresentado resultados superiores às mulheres. Considera-se importante a realização de mais estudos que investiguem o papel protector do Bem-Estar Espiritual, principalmente, em situações em que a pessoa doente é confrontada com a sua própria morte.
ABSTRACT------This study sought to understand the relationship between spiritual well-being and mental health in people with oncological disease; 30 participants (22 - 73.3% were women) with oncological disease were selected from a central hospital. The instruments used were the MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2) which measures the level of mental health and the SWBQp (Portuguese Version of the Questionnaire Wellness Spiritual) which assessed the participant’s level of spiritual well-being. The results show more problems in the scales of depression and paranoia (highest values in the Mini-Mult), significant and negative correlations between the MMPI-2 and SWBQp (the better the result in SWBQp, the lower the results in the dimensions of the Mini-Mult), and there were also significant differences between male and female in the scales of mini-Mult (men had a higher income than women). It is considered important to conduct further studies to investigate the protective role of the Spiritual Well-Being, especially in situations where the sick person is faced with his own death.
