Resumo(s)
O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo compreender a experiência de
ser-no-mundo de pessoas com paraplegia, explorando de que forma cada indivíduo
perceciona e atribui significado à sua existência após a lesão medular. Inserido no
paradigma qualitativo, o trabalho recorre ao método fenomenológico interpretativo
(Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis – IPA), que privilegia a compreensão das
experiências subjetivas e dos significados construídos a partir das perspetivas individuais
dos participantes. A amostra é constituída por dez adultos com diagnóstico de paraplegia
adquirida, entrevistados através de entrevistas semiestruturadas que permitiram recolher
narrativas sobre o impacto da lesão na vida quotidiana e na identidade pessoal. A análise
interpretativa dos relatos identificou seis temas centrais: (1) rutura e reconstrução da
identidade; (2) aceitação e adaptação à nova realidade; (3) autonomia como processo
relacional; (4) relações interpessoais e perceção social; (5) barreiras sociais e
estruturais; e (6) resiliência, propósito e sentido de vida. Os resultados indicam que a
paraplegia é vivida como uma transformação existencial profunda, que interrompe a
continuidade do corpo e do mundo familiar, mas que também possibilita novas formas de
autenticidade, presença e significado. A experiência revela-se como um processo de
reconstrução do eu, no qual a vulnerabilidade se transforma em possibilidade e a limitação
em oportunidade de crescimento pessoal.
This study’s main objective is to understand the lived experience of being-inthe- world among people with paraplegia, exploring how each individual perceives and gives meaning to their existence after spinal cord injury. Framed within the qualitative paradigm, the research uses the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method, which focuses on understanding subjective experiences and the meanings constructed from the individual perspectives of the participants. The sample consists of ten adults diagnosed with acquired paraplegia, who took part in semi-structured interviews that provided narratives about the impact of the injury on their daily lives and personal identity. The interpretative analysis of the reports identified six central themes: (1) rupture and identity reconstruction; (2) acceptance and adaptation to the new reality; (3) autonomy as a relational process; (4) interpersonal relationships and social perception; (5) social and structural barriers; and (6) resilience, purpose, and meaning in life. Findings show that paraplegia is experienced as a profound existential transformation which interrupts the continuity of the body and the familiar world, but also enables new forms of authenticity, presence, and meaning. The experience emerges as a process of selfreconstruction, in which vulnerability becomes possibility and limitation becomes an opportunity for personal growth.
