Abstract(s)
O progresso científico tem encontrado semelhanças entre as adicções químicas e comportamentais. Contudo, a literatura ainda carece de estudos que integrem estes dois tipos de adicções e estudem a sua relação com o funcionamento sexual e a consciência interoceptiva. Assim, o presente estudo procura examinar se pior funcionamento sexual se associa a maior severidade de dependência ao tabaco, álcool, canábis e smartphones, e se tal é explicado por menor consciência interoceptiva. A amostra total foi constituída por 897 indivíduos (716 mulheres e 181 homens) e sub-dividida em 3 sub-amostras: 168 consumidores de tabaco (123 mulheres e 45 homens), 716 de álcool (571 mulheres e 145 homens) e 106 de canábis (73 mulheres e 33 homens). Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico, a escala de Avaliação Multidimensional da Consciência Interoceptiva (MAIA), o Índice de Funcionamento Sexual Feminino (FSFI), o Índice Internacional de Função Erétil (IIEF), a escala de Adicção ao Smartphone – versão reduzida (SAS-SV), o Teste de Fagerstrom para a Dependência da Nicotina (TDFN), o Álcool Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) e o Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test (CUDIT). Os resultados apontam que as adicções associam-se a um pior funcionamento sexual, excepto a adicção ao tabaco e canábis, onde não foram encontrados resultados significativos. A consciência interoceptiva associa-se a um melhor funcionamento sexual feminino. Igualmente, a consciência interoceptiva explica, em parte, a relação entre maior severidade da adicção ao smartphone e pior funcionamento sexual.
The scientific progress has found similarities between chemical and behavioral addictions. However, the literature has a lack of studies that integrate these two types of addictions and also their relationship with sexual functioning and interoceptive awareness. Thus, the present study aims to examine if worse sexual functioning is associated with greater severity of dependence of tobacco, alcohol, cannabis and smartphones, and if that relationship is explained by lower interoceptive awareness. The sample of this study included 897 individuals (716 women and 181 men), that were divided into 3 subsamples: 168 tobacco users (123 women and 45 men), 716 alcohol users (571 women and 145 men) and 106 of cannabis users (73 women and 33 men). It was used a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), the Smartphone Addiction Scale- short version (SAS-SV), the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (TDFN), the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test (CUDIT). The results showed that addictions were associated with poorer sexual functioning, except for tobacco and cannabis addictions, where no significant results were found. Interoceptive awareness was associated with better female sexual functioning. Equally, interoceptive awareness partly explained the relationship between greater severity of addiction to smartphones and poorer sexual functioning.
