Abstract(s)
O objectivo principal deste trabalho consistiu em averiguar se o tipo de vinculação
existente na relação entre a criança e a sua figura parental – aqui representada pela mãe –
influencia a capacidade (ou incapacidade) de resiliência face à dor cirúrgica, na criança
hospitalizada. Implicou uma amostra de 20 díades mãe-criança, com crianças entre os 3 e os 7
anos de idade.
Este estudo foi desenvolvido com base numa prática de investigação de cariz
descritivo e exploratório, no qual se usou a Escala Numérica e a Escala de Faces na
mensuração da intensidade da dor – aplicada durante todo o período de hospitalização – e o
Inventário de Auto-Estima Materna com o objectivo de estabelecer a relação entre as
representações maternas e o modelo de vinculação existente nas díades – aplicado às mães no
momento pós-cirúrgico.
Os resultados demonstraram valores globais e individuais de auto-estima materna
bastante elevados e uma regularidade da resposta “Sem Dor” resultante da avaliação da
intensidade da dor contribuindo, desta forma, para a ideia inicial e reflexão final de que o
modelo de vinculação existente influencia a capacidade de resiliência da criança.
The main objective of this study consisted in check out if the attachment model between the child and his mother has influence in the capacity (our incompetence) of holding out and resistance when confronted with surgical pain, in hospitalized children. The sample has 20 children (with age between 3-7 years) and the respective mothers. This study was developed on the basis of an exploration and descriptive type of investigation, in which was used a Numerical and Facial Scales in order to measured the pain intensity in children – applied during the whole period of hospitalization – and the Maternal Self Report Inventory, with the objective of establish the relation between the maternal representations and the attachment model existent in the mother-chid relationship – applied to the mothers in a post-surgical moment. The results had demonstrated global and individual high self-esteem levels and regularity in children answer – “No Pain”. Subsequently, this study sends to the idea that the attachment model influences the capacity of holding out and resistance of the children.
