Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho tem como objectivo geral avaliar as diferenças nas motivações
para a actividade sexual em mulheres que se encontram na fase da pré-menopausa,
perimenopausa e pós-menopausa. Os objectivos específicos deste estudo incluem avaliar e
comparar as motivações para a actividade sexual nos três grupos de mulheres, analisar e
comparar as motivações para a actividade sexual em função das variáveis sócio-demográficas,
nomeadamente a idade, estado civil, situação relacional, duração do compromisso, orientação
sexual, nível educacional, número de filhos, idade dos filhos, onde vivem, religião, etnia, e
estudar a relação (associação) entre a motivação e a satisfação relacional nos três grupos de
mulheres. A amostra é composta por 100 mulheres que se encontram na fase da prémenopausa,
100 na perimenopausa e 100 na pós-menopausa. O instrumento inclui cinco
questionários: Aspectos de saúde relacionados com a menopausa; Caracterização sóciodemográfica;
Female Sexual Function Índex de Rosen et al. (2000) – traduzido e adaptado por
Nobre (2002); Cues for Sexual Desire Scale de McCall & Meston (2006) – traduzido e
adaptado por Carvalheira e Leal (2008); e o Dyadic Adjustment Scale de Spanier (1976) –
tradução de Tavares (1990). Esta investigação torna-se pertinente para a comunidade
científica, porque a saúde sexual interfere em outras áreas da saúde e do bem-estar do ser
humano e a menopausa é um momento particular e importante do ciclo reprodutivo da
mulher. Interfere na estrutura psíquica da mulher assim como também nos aspectos na
sexualidade, sendo a motivação para a actividade sexual uma questão importante mas
surpreendentemente pouco estudada.
