Abstract(s)
Introdução: A Obesidade é uma das doenças mais graves na atualidade, com implicações a
diversos nĆveis, especialmente na qualidade de vida. De acordo com a literatura, indivĆduos que
coabitam, especialmente sendo um casal, têm tendência a ter os mesmos hÔbitos e
comportamentos, sendo então de grande importância o estudo do casal. O objetivo deste estudo
é compreender se o ajustamento diÔdico (consenso, satisfação e coesão) prediz o coping diÔdico
na gestĆ£o da obesidade no casal. MĆ©todo: A amostra Ć© constituĆda por 30 casais (60
participantes), com idade média de 42,6 anos (DP=11,44), numa relação e tempo de coabitação
de, pelo menos, 1 ano, onde um dos membros do casal tem de apresentar obesidade. Os
instrumentos utilizados neste estudo foram: QuestionƔrio SociodemogrƔfico; Escala de
Ajustamento DiƔdico; Escalas de Coping DiƔdico. Resultados: Depois de feita uma anƔlise
diĆ”dica, foi possĆvel perceber que o Ajustamento DiĆ”dico (coesĆ£o e satisfação) prediz o Coping
DiƔdico no efeito ator, ou seja, do homem para ele mesmo, e da mulher para ela mesma. JƔ o
Consenso não prediz a gestão da obesidade no casal. Relativamente ao número de tentativas de
peso malsucedidas, Ć© possĆvel afirmar que prediz o Coping DiĆ”dico no efeito ator. ConclusĆ£o:
à de salientar a importância de diversificar e aumentar estudos relativamente à obesidade no
casal, de forma a compreender qual a melhor maneira de combater o excesso de peso e de
existirem mudanças de hÔbitos e comportamentos de saúde, bem como de promover o apoio
dos membros da dĆade um ao outro.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Obesity is one of the most severe diseases nowadays, with implications at different levels, especially in the quality of life. According to the literature, individuals who live together, especially as a couple, tend to have the same habits and behaviors, and, therefore, it is crucial to study the couple. This study aims to understand if dyadic adjustment predicts dyadic coping in couple obesity management. Method: The sample consists of 30 couples (60 participants), with an average age of 42,6 years, in a relationship and cohabitation time of at least one year, where one of the coupleās members must present obesity. The instruments used in this study were: Sociodemographic Questionnaire; Dyadic Adjustment Scale; Dyadic Coping Scales. Results: After a dyadic analysis, it was possible to perceive that Dyadic Adjustment (cohesion and satisfaction) predicts Dyadic Coping in the Actor Effect, that is, the man to himself, and the woman to herself. The consensus, however, does not predict the management of obesity in the couple. Regarding the number of unsuccessful weight attempts, it is possible to state that it predicts Dyadic Coping in the Actor Effect. Conclusion: It is essential to highlight the importance of deepening studies on obesity in couples to understand the best way to combat excess weight and change habits, as well as to promote the support of members of the dyad to one another.
