Após breve síntese sobre a descrição clínica e origem
do conceito da Perturbação Pós Stress Traumático
(Posttraumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD) apresenta-se
um estudo comparativo, de natureza exploratória,
sobre o PTSD entre dois grupos de sujeitos (n=20 +
n=20) ex-combatentes da guerra colonial com e sem
PTSD. Procurou-se verificar se existiam diferenças,
significativas ou não, entre os dois grupos, no que conceme
ao Ajustamento Marital e Areas Problema na relação
conjugal.
Dos resultados encontrados salientam-se: os sujeitos
com o PTSD não apresentam significativamente,
mais dificuldades de Ajustamento Marital (carinho,
comunicação e discussão) em geral do que os sujeitos
sem o PTSD (pSc= .7555> .05). No entanto, os sujeitos
com o PTSD percepcionam o seu casamento, como
sendo «menos feliz)) (p= .0095< .05) e, apresentam significativamente,
mais Problemas nas diferentes Areas
da sua vida conjugal do que os sujeitos sem o PTSD
(pAP = .0003< .05).
As limitações do referido estudo devem-se ao facto
de, cada amostra ter um número reduzido de sujeitos
em cada grupo (n =20) e por outro lado, o de não existirem
mais estudos sobre o Ajustamento Marital e
Áreas Problema com sujeitos desta população, em
Portugal.
ABSTRACT: After a short synthesis on the clinical discription and origin of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD concept, we present a comparative (exploratory) 603 study about the PTSD between two groups of individuals (n=20 -t n=20), veterans of the Portuguese colonial war with and without PTSD. We tried to detect differences, significant or not, between both groups concerning the Marital Adjustment and Probiem Area in the conjugal iife. The results obtained reveal that individuals with PTSD do not show more reievant difficulties of Marital Adjustement (tenderes, communication and discussion) than individuals without PTSD (pSc= .7555:> .05). However, individuals with PTSD understand their marriage to be dess happiern (p= .OO95< .OS) and reveal significantly more problems in the different areas of their conjugal life than those without PTSD (pAP = .OOO3< .O5). The limitations of this study are imposed by the lack of studies about the Marital Adjustrnent and Problem Area in Portugal, and by the fact that each sample refers to a restricted number of individuals in each group.
