dc.description.abstractAbstract: The aim of this study was to examine psychosocial adjustment to breast cancer, according to Leventhalā€™s self-regulation model. We tried to understand the role of emotional adjustment and illness representations in coping. The participants were 74 Portuguese recently diagnosed breast cancer patients. Measures included the Portuguese versions of: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), to assess emotional adjustment (anxiety; depression); the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ), to evaluate illness perceptions; and the Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (Mini-MAC) to assess coping style. The principal hypothesis was that illness perceptions and emotional adjustment would be significant predictors of coping before surgery. The hypothesis was confirmed for most coping strategies. Emotional adjustment and illness representations were significant predictors of coping, which supports Leventhalā€™s Self-Regulatory Model, in this sample. Emotional adjustment and illness perceptions were significant predictors of Helplessness/Hopelessness, Anxious Preoccupation, and Fighting Spirit coping strategies.pt_PT
dc.description.abstractResumo: Este estudo analisa o ajustamento psicossocial ao cancro da mama, tendo por base o Modelo de auto-regulaĆ§Ć£o de Leventhal. Procura compreender o papel do ajustamento emocional e representaƧƵes de doenƧa no coping. A amostra foi constituĆ­da por 74 mulheres Portuguesas recentemente diagnosticadas com cancro da mama. As medidas utilizadas foram: A Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e DepressĆ£o (HADS), para avaliar o ajustamento emocional (ansiedade e depressĆ£o); o QuestionĆ”rio de PerceƧƵes de DoenƧa Breve (IPQ-B), para avaliar as perceƧƵes de doenƧa; e a Escala de Ajustamento Mental ao Cancro (mini-Mac), para avaliar o coping. A hipĆ³tese previa que as perceƧƵes de doenƧa e o ajustamento emocional fossem preditores significativos do coping, antes da cirurgia. A hipĆ³tese confirmou-se para a maioria das estratĆ©gias de coping, o que vai de encontro ao Modelo de auto-regulaĆ§Ć£o de Leventhal. O ajustamento emocional e as perceƧƵes de doenƧa sĆ£o preditores significativos das estratĆ©gias de coping ImpotĆŖncia/DesesperanƧa, PreocupaĆ§Ć£o Ansiosa e EspĆ­rito de Luta.pt_PT
