Abstract(s)
Os CAL e as TS são um problema de saúde mundial, com taxas de prevalência
elevadas em adolescentes e jovens adultos (Daukanttaité et al., 2021). O objetivo major desta
investigação é verificar se existem diferenças significativas entre variáveis individuais e o
envolvimento em CAL e TS em jovens adultos. A amostra deste estudo é constituída por 191
participantes jovens adultos, com idades entre os 18 e os 25 anos (M = 22.3; DP = 2.265).
Os instrumentos utilizados foram: o Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation (Sales et
al, 2000); o Questionário de Sentido de Vida (Portugal, 2017); O Inventário de Desesperança
de Beck (Beck, Weissman, 1974); Escala de Impulsividade de Barratt – versão 11 (Patton,
Standford & Barratt, 1995); o Inventário de Comportamentos Autolesivos (Duarte, Gouveia-
Pereira & Gomes, 2019) e o Questionário de Ideação Suicida (Reynolds, 1998).
Os resultados deste estudo demonstram que existe um número considerável de jovens
(N=98; 51.8%) que refere que já realizou um CAL. No que se refere às TS, 169 (88.5%)
jovens referiram nunca terem efetuado nenhuma TS, e 22 (11,5%) referem já ter feito uma ou
mais TS.
Existem diferenças significativas no Bem-Estar Psicológico, no Sentido de Vida, na
Impulsividade, na Ideação Suicida e na Desesperança entre jovens com e sem CAL. O mesmo
acontece com as TS, à exceção do Sentido de Vida que não apresentou diferenças entre jovens
com e sem TS. Foi encontrada uma associação positiva e significativa dos CAL com as TS e a
IS.
Self-Injurious Behaviors and Suicide Attempts are a global health problem, with high prevalence rates among teenagers and young adults (Daukanttaité et al., 2021). The main objective of this investigation is to analyse the link between individual variables and the implication in Self-Injurious Behaviors and Suicide Attempts in young adults. The sample of this study is composed by 191 young adults, between 18 and 25 years old (M = 22.3; DP = 2.265). The instruments used where: the Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation (Sales et al, 2000); the Life Sense Questionnaire (Portugal, 2017); the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Weissman, 1974); the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale – verson 11 (Patton, Standford & Barratt, 1995); the self-injurious behaviors Inventory (Duarte, Paulino, et al., 2019) and the Suicidal ideation questionnaire (Reynolds, 1998). The results of this study shows that there is a considerable number of young adults (N=98; 51.8%) who report that they have already performed a Self-Injurious Behavior. Regarding to suicide attempts, 169 (88.5%) young adults reported never having made any Suicide Attempt, and 22 (11.5%) reported having already made one or more Suicide Attempts. Self-Injurious Behaviors have a significant effect on Psychological Well-Being, Meaning in Life, Impulsiveness, Suicidal Ideation, and Hopelessness. Suicide Attempts demonstrate a significant effect on all variables except the Meaning of Life. It was also found a positive and significant association of Self-Injurious Behaviors with Suicide Attempts.
