Restrições sociais do segundo confinamento devido à Covid-19: Efeitos nos estilos alimentares e no funcionamento sexual
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
As restrições sociais ocorridas durante o segundo confinamento devido à Covid-19 têm
influenciado os estilos alimentares e o funcionamento sexual. Todavia, não existe literatura que
comprove claramente que as alterações num domínio se associam com as alterações no outro,
ainda que, existam estudos que apontam para uma possível relação. Este é o principal objetivo
do presente estudo. A amostra desta investigação foi composta por 618 participantes (518
mulheres e 100 homens), incluindo uma subamostra de indivíduos com relações sexuais durante
o segundo confinamento composta por 359 indivíduos (296 mulheres e 63 homens). Aplicouse um questionário sociodemográfico e os seguintes instrumentos foram adaptados para serem
preenchidos com uma escala visual analógica por forma a detetar alterações no segundo
confinamento: Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-R21 (TFEQ-R21), Índice de Funcionamento
Sexual Feminino (FSFI), Escala de Distress Sexual Feminino (FSDS-R), Índice Internacional
de Função Eréctil (IIEF) e uma sobre a facilidade em controlar a ejaculação. Na subamostra
feminina, verificou-se que reduções da satisfação e do desejo e aumento do distress sexual se
associaram a um agravamento dos seguintes estilos alimentares: ingestão emocional e ingestão
descontrolada. Na subamostra masculina uma redução na facilidade em ter orgasmo associouse a um aumento da ingestão alimentar descontrolada. Também se verificou que de um modo
geral o funcionamento sexual em ambos os géneros melhorou durante o segundo confinamento.
Registaram-se alterações estatisticamente significativas nos estilos alimentares mas pouco
expressivas nas mulheres. Nos homens não se registaram alterações significativas. Em mulheres
e homens, houve um aumento significativo da solidão.
The social restrictions that occurred during the second lockdown due to Covid-19 influenced eating styles and sexual functioning. However, there is no literature showing that changes in one domain are associated with changes in the other, although some studies point towards a possible relationship. The main aim of the present study was to investigate whether the eating styles and sexual functioning of residents in Portugal during the second lockdown were interrelated. The population sample was composed by 618 participants (518 women and 100 men), including a subsample of individuals who had sexual intercourse during the second lockdown (359 individuals; 296 women and 63 men). A sociodemographic questionnaire was applied and the following instruments were adapted to be responded to with a visual analogue scale to detect changes during the second lockdown: Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-R21 (TFEQ-R21), Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI), Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDSR), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), and a question about the ease of controlling ejaculation. In females, the results showed that a reduction in satisfaction and desire, and an increase in sexual distress, were associated with a worsening of emotional eating and uncontrolled eating. In males, a reduction in capacity to have orgasm was associated with an increase in uncontrolled eating. On average, sexual functioning in both genders improved during the second lockdown. There were statistically significant changes in eating styles, but not very significant in women. No significant changes were registered in men.For women and men, loneliness increased significantly
