Abstract(s)
A pandemia do novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2), responsável pelo desenvolvimento da doença COVID-19, tem alterado a rotina de grande parte da população a nível mundial, sendo o
confinamento uma das medidas mais utilizadas pelos países para diminuir o aparecimento de novos casos. A nova situação pandémica veio trazer à discussão, numa escala global, aspetos relativos à saúde mental e, assim sendo, é necessário que se estudem as reações que a situação
de confinamento provocou na população. Desta forma, o presente estudo tem como objetivos caracterizar as dinâmicas familiares, de intimidade e sociais decorrentes do confinamento, e verificar se os participantes de determinadas variáveis sociodemográficas reportam mais potenciadores de stress. A amostra é composta por 726 participantes, entre os 18 e os 81 anos,
onde 638 são do sexo feminino e 87 são do sexo masculino. Os participantes responderam a um questionário elaborado de acordo com 4 grandes dimensões: experiência de confinamento na relações familiares, experiência de confinamento nas relações de intimidade, experiência de confinamento nas relações de amizade e potenciadores de stress na experiência de confinamento. Os resultados revelam a existência de conflitos ao nível das relações familiares,
de intimidade e de amizade. Por outro lado, foi possível verificar que participantes de determinadas variáveis sociodemográficas (e.g., participantes do sexo feminino, participantes com menos habilitações académicas, participantes com filhos e participantes em situação de lay-off) apresentam maiores potenciadores de stress. Foram consideradas as limitações do
presente estudo e apontadas algumas sugestões para estudos futuros.
The pandemic of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the development of the disease COVID-19, has changed the routine of a large part of the world's population. A major lockdown was one of the most used measures by countries to reduce the appearance of new cases. The new pandemic situation has brought to discussion, on a global scale, aspects related to mental health and, therefore, it is necessary to study the reactions that the lockdown situation caused in the population. This study aims to characterize the family, intimacy and social dynamics arising from lockdown, and to verify whether participants of certain sociodemographic variables report more stress enhancers. The sample consists of 726 participants, between the ages of 18 and 81, where 638 are female and 87 are male. The participants answered a questionnaire designed according to 4 major dimensions: experience of lockdown in family relationships, experience of lockdown in intimate relationships, experience of lockdown in friendship relationships, and stress enhancers in the experience of lockdown. The results reveal the existence of conflicts at the level of family, intimacy, and friendship relationships. On the other hand, it was possible to verify that participants with certain sociodemographic variables (e.g., female participants, participants with less academic qualifications, participants with children, and participants in lay-off situation) present higher stress enhancers. The limitations of this study were considered and some suggestions for future studies were pointed out.
