Abstract(s)
A temática dos comportamentos autolesivos (CAL) tem ganhado grande destaque no
panorama mundial, em particular em Portugal. Mas nos trabalhos científicos sobre o pedido de
ajuda a informação é escassa. Deste modo e para melhor compreender o que motiva ou não o
pedido de ajuda em jovens adultos portugueses foi desenvolvido o presente estudo. Foram
utilizados instrumentos tais como: Escala Multidimensional de Suporte Social Percebido
(MSPSS), o Inventário de Comportamentos Autolesivos (ICAL), o Questionário de Pedido de
Ajuda (especialmente desenvolvido para este estudo), o Questionário de Ideação Suicida e o
Questionário Sociodemográfico. O pedido de ajuda parece não estar relacionado com a
gravidade e com a frequência dos comportamentos, mas sim com as relações que os indivíduos
estabelecem com as pessoas à sua volta e com os profissionais de saúde (e saúde mental) e,
ainda, com o modo como vivenciam os próprios comportamentos.
Deliberate Self-Harm Behaviours (DSH) have gained great prominence in the world panorama, particularly in Portugal. But in scientific work about help-seeking, information becomes insufficient. The present study was developed to better understand what motivates or not the seek for help in young portuguese adults. For this purpose, were used instruments such as: Perceived Social Support Multidimensional Scale (MSPSS), Inventory of Deliberate Self- Harm Behaviours (ICAL), Help-Seeking Questionnaire (specially developed for this study), Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire and Sociodemographic Questionnaire. The seek for help does not seem to be related to the severity and frequency of behaviors, but to the relationships that individuals establish with people around them and with health professionals (and mental health professionals) as well as the way they experience their own deliberate self-harm experiences.
