Abstract(s)
Embora a prevalência de comportamentos autolesivos na adolescência, em Portugal e
no mundo, tenha vindo a sofrer um aumento, somente uma minoria destes adolescentes
procura ajuda para lidar com estas dificuldades. Neste sentido, e tendo em consideração a
ainda escassa investigação focada neste tema, é fundamental compreender como determinados
fatores influenciam o processo do pedido de ajuda. Assim, o presente estudo pretende
caracterizar como a vergonha externa, a perceção do apoio social dos professores e a ideação
suicida impactam o pedido de ajuda junto de adolescentes com história de CAL, integrando
uma investigação mais geral sobre este fenómeno.
Para tal, foi utilizada uma amostra de 763 adolescentes de escolas portuguesas (47.2%
masculino; 52.2% feminino; idade: 12 – 21 anos, 𝑥̅= 16.6), englobando 438 (57.4%)
adolescentes com história de CAL e 325 (42.6%) sem história de CAL. Dos participantes com
história de CAL, 259 (59.5%) pediram ajuda e 179 (40.5%) não pediram ajuda. Foram
utilizados o Inventário de Comportamentos Autolesivos, Questionário de Ideação Suicida,
Escala do Pedido de Ajuda – Barreiras, Escala do Pedido de ajuda – Facilitadores, Escala de
Perceção de Suporte Social e Escala de Vergonha Externa – Versão Breve para Adolescentes.
Os resultados evidenciaram que o grupo de adolescentes com história de CAL apresentam
níveis elevados de VE e de PASP. Em relação ao pedido de ajuda, denotou-se a presença de
níveis elevados de facilitadores, PASP, IS e baixos de barreiras ao pedido de ajuda,
comparado ao grupo que não pediu ajuda.
ABSTRACT: Although the prevalence of deliberate self-harm in adolescence, has been increasing in Portugal and in the world, only a minority of these adolescents have been asking for help to cope with these difficulties. Therefore, and considering the scarce research carried out in this regard, it is crucial to understand how certain factors impact the phenomena of help-seeking. Hence, the goal of the present investigation is to characterize how the external shame, perception of social support of teachers and suicidal ideation impact the help-seeking in adolescents with a history of DSH, incorporating a more general investigation into this phenomenon. In this regard, it was attended 763 adolescents from Portuguese schools (47.2% masculine; 52.2% feminine; age: 12 – 21 years old, 𝑥̅= 16.6), comprise with 438 (57.4%) adolescents with a history of DSH and 325 (42.6%) adolescents without a history of DSH. Of the adolescents with a history of DSH, 259 (59.5%) asked for help and 179 (40.5%) did not asked for help. The instruments applied were the Inventory of Deliberate Self-Harm Behaviours, Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, Help-Seeking Scale – Barriers, Help-Seeking Scale – Facilitators, Social Support Appraisal and The Other as Shamer Scale – Brief Version for Adolescents. The results showed that the group of adolescents with a history of DSH have higher levels of external shame and perception of social support from teachers. In the concern of help-seeking, it was denoted the presence of higher levels of facilitators, PSST, SI and lower of barriers to help-seeking, in the group who asked for help.
