Abstract(s)
Utilizando a TAS-20 (Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto
de 20 items de Taylor, Bagby, & Parker, 1992)
foi realizado um estudo para averiguar a distribuição
da alexitimia numa população de 631 doentes crónicos.
Aproximadamente 23,4% dos sujeitos apresentavam
valores elevados de alexitimia. A alexitimia pareceu
correlacionar-se negativamente com o nível de
escolaridade. Os valores de alexitimia foram ainda
comparados com uma amostra de 100 utentes de Centros
de Saúde tendo sido encontrada uma diferença
significativa (os doentes crónicos apresentaram valores
mais elevados de alexitimia que os utentes de Centros
de Saúde). Este estudo discute a alexitimia no campo
da psicologia da saúde.
