Abstract(s)
Este estudo investigou as estratégias utilizadas por adultos saudáveis expostos a dor aguda induzida experimentalmente em setting laboratorial. Recorreu ao procedimento Cold Pressor Arm Wrap (CPAW) para simular a experiência dolorosa, com o objetivo de identificar as estratégias cognitivas e comportamentais adotadas espontaneamente e avaliar a sua eficácia na intensidade e tolerância à dor. A amostra foi composta por 51 participantes do grupo de controlo do estudo COPAHS. Para identificar as estratégias cognitivas e comportamentais recorreu-se a uma análise qualitativa de conteúdo com uma abordagem dedutiva. Os resultados deste estudo demonstraram que estratégias como a distração, relaxamento e reinterpretação da dor mostraram aumentar a tolerância e reduzir a intensidade da dor percebida, enquanto a catastrofização e o evitamento foram associados a uma menor capacidade de gestão de dor. Este estudo contribui para o entendimento das estratégias de uma forma mais aprofundada em contextos de dor aguda.
This study investigated the coping strategies used by healthy adults exposed to experimentally induced acute pain in a laboratory setting. The Cold Pressor Arm Wrap (CPAW) procedure was used to simulate the painful experience, aiming to identify the spontaneously adopted cognitive and behavioral coping strategies and to assess their effectiveness in terms of pain intensity and tolerance. The sample consisted of 51 participants from the control group of the COPAHS study. To identify the cognitive and behavioral strategies, a qualitative content analysis with a deductive approach was employed. The results of this study showed that strategies such as distraction, relaxation, and pain reinterpretation were shown to increase tolerance and reducing perceived pain intensity, while catastrophizing and avoidance were associated with a lower capacity for pain management. This study contributes to a more in-depth the understanding of strategies in acute pain contexts.
