Abstract(s)
Este estudo teve como objectivos principais
identificar constructos neurocognitivos que se
apresentam de modo diferencial como preditores de
dimensões específicas do funcionamento psicossocial
de pessoas com Esquizofrenia, e analisar o contributo adicional da auto-eficácia geral como possível variável
preditora. Para tal, constituímos uma amostra composta
por 37 pessoas com Esquizofrenia, que avaliamos com
uma bateria de testes neurocognitivos e com
instrumentos de funcionamento psicossocial e de autoeficácia.
Recorremos a análises de regressão para a
obtenção dos modelos preditores, com recurso aos
métodos stepwise e enter. Os modelos preditores
iniciais explicaram entre 17% e 67% da variância nas
diferentes dimensões do funcionamento psicossocial.
Os preditores neurocognitivos significativos foram a
memória de trabalho, a atenção, a velocidade de
processamento, o raciocínio lógico e a memória visuoespacial.
Não encontramos qualquer preditor
significativo dos comportamentos de Não-perturbação.
Nos modelos realizados com a auto-eficácia,
verificamos que esta se constituiu como preditor
significativo da dimensão Auto-cuidado e Contacto
social. Estes resultados sugerem que a promoção do
funcionamento psicossocial (com excepção dos
comportamentos violentos ou de perturbação) poderá
passar pela intervenção sistemática ao nível do
desenvolvimento de competências cognitivas e de
percepções mais positivas de eficácia pessoal.
The main purpose of this study was to identify neurocognitive constructs that seems to be differential predictors of distinct dimensions of psychosocial functioning, and to analyze the additional contribution of self-efficacy as a possible predictor. To achieve those goals, a sample of 37 participants with schizophrenia were assessed in their psychosocial functioning, self-efficacy and neurocognitive functioning. We performed regression analysis to obtain the predictive models, using enter and stepwise methods. The initial predictive models explained between 17% and 67% of the variance on the psychosocial functioning dimensions. The main neurocognitive predictors were working memory, attention/vigilance, processing speed, logic reasoning, and visual-spatial memory. We didn’t found any significant predictor of the dimension non-turbulence. In the models in which self-efficacy entered has a dependent variable, was accounted as a significant predictor of self-care and social contact. The results suggest that the promotion of psychosocial functioning should include interventions aimed to improve cognitive skills and to develop a more positive sense of self-efficacy.
