Introdução: Após a perda de um ente querido as pessoas podem experienciar mudanças
psicológicas transformadoras, nomeadamente crescimento pós-traumático. Este processo
tem sido amplamente estudado, contudo ainda existe muita incerteza a respeito do papel
que o fator relacional desempenha neste mesmo processo. Objetivo: Analisar o impacto
que a qualidade da relação com o ente querido, tem no crescimento pós-traumático das
pessoas em luto. Método: A amostra é constituída por 269 indivíduos adultos que
perderam um ente querido nos últimos 5 anos. Foram aplicados os seguintes
instrumentos: Inventário do Crescimento Pós-Traumático Expandido (PTGI-X) e Escala
da Qualidade da Relação entre Cuidador e Doente (EQR) através do Qualtrics.
Resultados: A proximidade da relação demonstrou estar correlacionada de forma
significativa ao crescimento pós-traumático (r= 0,192; p<0,01) em todas as suas
dimensões, com exceção das Mudanças Espirituais e Existenciais. Já a relação de conflito
apresenta uma correlação significativa com as dimensões Novas Possibilidades (r= 0,127;
p<0,05), Força Pessoal (r= 0,143; p<0,05) e Apreciação da Vida (r= 0,128; p<0,05).
Verificou-se ainda que a qualidade da relação próxima explicou 3,3% da variância do
crescimento pós-traumático no luto. Conclusão: O estudo contribuiu para a investigação
sobre o luto, nomeadamente para que os profissionais de saúde tenham em conta a
qualidade da relação antes da morte, durante o luto antecipatório de modo a que haja um
melhor ajustamento à perda.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: After the loss of a loved one, people can experience transformative psychological changes, namely post-traumatic growth. This process has been widely studied, but there is still much uncertainty about the role that the relational factor plays in this process. Objective: To analyse the impact that the quality of the relationship between the loved one and the bereaved has on the development of post-traumatic growth in bereavement. Method: The sample consisted of 269 adult individuals who had lost a loved one in the last 5 years. The following instruments were applied using Qualtrics: Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory Expanded (PTGI-X) and the Quality of the Relationship between Carer and Patient Scale (EQR). Results: The quality of the relationship based on closeness proved to be significantly correlated with post-traumatic growth (r= 0.192; p<0.01) in all its dimensions, except for Spiritual and Existential Changes. A relationship of conflict only showed a significant correlation with the dimensions New Possibilities (r= 0.127; p<0.05), Personal Strength (r= 0.143; p<0.05) and Appreciation of Life (r= 0.128; p<0.05). It was also found that the quality of the close relationship explained 3,3% of post-traumatic growth variance. Conclusion: The study has contributed to research into bereavement, namely so that health professionals consider the quality of the relationship before the death, during anticipatory grief in order to occur a better adjustment to loss.
