Abstract(s)
O estudo das significações, representações ou crenças
dos doentes sobre as suas doenças tem constituído um
domínio prevalecente na Psicologia da Saúde e da Doença.
Numa perspectiva desenvolvimentista, estas significações
podem ser categorizadas em termos de níveis de progressiva
abstracção e complexidade, e as acções a que estão ligadas
em termos de operações dialécticas de descentração e
compensação. Para ilustrar um enquadramento metodológico
desta concepção, os autores apresentam os primeiros
resultados de uma investigação com doentes de Ortopedia
e Reumatologia, sobre a ligação desses níveis e operações
a uma metodologia de auto-monitorização do sintoma
principal, geralmente a dor física, e do controlo percebido
sobre o mesmo.
ABSTRACT:The study of the patients’ significations, representations or beliefs about their illnesses has been a prevailing domain in Health and Illness Psychology. From a developmental perspective, these significations may be characterized in terms of levels of progressive abstratraction and complexity, and the actions to which they are associated in terms of dialectic operations of decentration and compensation. In order to illustrate a methodological orientation of this conception, the authors introduce the first results of an investigation addressed to patients of Orthopaedics and Rheumatology, about the connection of those levels and operations to a methodology of self-monitoring of the main symptom, in most cases the physical pain, and of the perceived control of that symptom.
