Abstract(s)
O presente estudo pretende evidenciar o efeito que o funcionamento familiar e os
maus tratos na infância e juventude apresentam nos comportamentos autolesivos, ideação
suicida e tentativas de suicídio em reclusos do sexo masculino.
Para este estudo, foram recolhidos dados com 200 participantes com idades entre
os 21 aos 40 anos, correspondentes a reclusos do sexo masculino num Estabelecimento
Prisional em Lisboa. Foi pedido aos participantes que respondessem aos instrumentos:
escala de avaliação da flexibilidade, coesão e comunicação familiar (FACES IV),
questionário de traumas de infância, inventário dos comportamentos autolesivos e
questionário de ideação suicida.
Os resultados deste estudos evidenciaram que o historial de maus tratos se
apresenta como preditora significativa dos comportamentos autolesivos, da ideação
suicida e das tentativas de suicídio praticadas pelos participantes e a comunicação
apresenta-se como segunda preditora, mas apenas da ideação suicida. Contrariamente,
estes resultados invalidam a proposta em que a coesão e a flexibilidade seriam
estatisticamente significativas relativamente aos comportamentos autolesivos, ideação
suicida e tentativas de suicídio. Através destes estes resultados, é possível concluir que
quanto maior for o historial de maus tratos por parte dos indivíduos, maior será a
quantidade praticada de comportamentos autolesivos, tal como, maior será a sua ideação
suicida e tentativas de suicídio realizadas pelos mesmos. Assim como, quanto menor for
a comunicação familiar, maior seria a ideação suicida dos reclusos.
This study intent to highlight the effect that family functioning and maltreatment in childhood and youth have on self-injurious behavior, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in male prisoners. For this study, data were collected from 200 participants aged between 21 and 40, corresponding to male inmates in a prison in Lisbon. Participants were inquered to complete the following instruments: flexibility, cohesion and family communication assessment scale (FACES IV), childhood trauma questionnaire, self-injurious behavior inventory and suicidal ideation questionnaire. The results of this study demonstrated that the history of maltreatment is a eminent predictor of self-injurious behavior, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts practiced by the participants, and communication is a second predictor, but only of suicidal ideation. On the contrary, these results invalidate the proposal that cohesion and flexibility would be statistically significant in relation to self-injurious behavior, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Athwart these results, it is possible to imply that the bigger the history of maltreatment by the individuals, the greater the amount of self-injurious behavior, as well as the greater their suicidal ideation and suicide attempts made by them. Likewise, the lesser the family communication, the greater the suicidal ideation of inmates.
