A presente investigação, inserida no âmbito da Psicologia Clínica, teve como
objectivo um conhecimento mais profundo dos aspectos psicológicos, em adultos
portadores de uma lesão vértebro-medular (L.V.M).
Na tentativa de compreensão dos factores psicológicos, o estudo incidiu sobre
21 participantes, portadores de uma lesão vértebro-medular. Os participantes do estudo
foram, seleccionados no Centro de Medicina de Reabilitação de Alcoitão.
Para a elaboração da investigação foi feito um estudo exploratório, na qual
recorreu-se ao uso de vários questionários, nomeadamente, Inventário de Beck, STAI –
Escala de Ansiedade de Spielberg, Brief Cope e WHOQOL-Abreviado.
Na análise dos resultados verificou-se que a ansiedade está correlacionada
positivamente com o Inventário de Beck e negativamente com a qualidade de vida de
forma significativa, ou seja, perante uma menor qualidade de vida, verifica-se um maior
estado de ansiedade
