Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar o impacto psicológico da dependência
do álcool em familiares e pessoas próximas, explorando as diferenças na co-dependência,
expressão emocional e sobrecarga emocional entre dois grupos específicos. O primeiro grupo
é composto por familiares que convivem diariamente com alguém que sofre de dependência
alcoólica, enquanto o segundo grupo inclui pessoas que, embora tenham um familiar ou
conhecido com histórico de dependência, não mantêm um contacto próximo ou contínuo com
essa pessoa. Neste segundo grupo os participantes abordam apenas as informações do familiar
mais próximo que têm.
A investigação pretende avaliar não só as diferenças na intensidade dos efeitos
psicológicos, mas também os tipos específicos de desafios enfrentados em cada grupo. Serão
analisados o impacto na vida pessoal, social e profissional, fatores demográficos como a idade
do participante e a idade da pessoa dependente, analisando-se como estas variáveis influenciam
tanto as respostas emocionais como a perceção do problema. Os instrumentos utilizados foram
a versão Portuguesa da Escala Compósita de Co-Dependência (ECC), a Escala de avaliação do
impacto físico, emocional e social do papel de cuidador informal (QASCI) e a versão
portuguesa da Escala de Emocionalidade Expressa (EEE).
Osresultados desta pesquisa sugerem que familiares e pessoas próximas de dependentes
do álcool experimentam níveis consideravelmente superiores de sobrecarga emocional e
impacto negativo na vida pessoal e social, em comparação com parentes que não têm contato
direto com os dependentes. Contudo, não se notaram diferenças relevantes nos índices de codependência e expressão emocional entre os grupos, indicando que estas dinâmicas emocionais
podem ser encontradas em vários contextos de assistência familiar, não apenas em situações de
dependência de álcool.
ABSTRACT: The present study aims to investigate the psychological impact of alcohol dependence on family members and close associates, exploring the differences in codependency, emotional expression and emotional overload between two specific groups. The first group is made up of family members who live daily with someone who suffers from alcohol dependence, while the second group includes people who, although they have a family member or acquaintance with a history of dependence, do not maintain close or continuous contact with that person. In this second group, participants only discuss information about the closest family memberthey have. The research aims to assess not only the differences in the intensity of the psychological effects, but also the specific types of challenges faced in each group. The impact on personal, social and professional life will be analyzed, as well as demographic factors such as the age of the participant and the age of the dependent person, analyzing how these variables influence both emotional responses and the perception of the problem. The instruments used were the Portuguese version of the Co-Dependency Composite Scale (CCS), the Scale for assessing the physical, emotional and social impact of the informal caregiver role (QASCI) and the Portuguese version of the Expressed Emotionality Scale (EEE). The results of this research suggest that family members and people close to alcohol dependents experience considerably higher levels of emotional burden and negative impact on their personal and social lives, compared to relatives who do not have direct contact with the dependents. However, no significant differences were noted in the rates of co-dependency and emotional expression between the groups, indicating that these emotional dynamics can be found in various contexts of family care, not only in situations of alcohol dependence.
