Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Com este estudo pretende-se compreender a experiência subjetiva de pacientes
oncológicos participantes em sessões de Dança Movimento Terapia (DMT), da terapeuta que
facilitou estas sessões e de uma estagiária que nelas participou, a partir de uma análise
fenomenológica/existencial.
Método: A amostra consiste em 6 participantes do sexo feminino, com idades compreendidas
entre os 24 e os 66, das quais 4 passaram por um processo oncológico, uma participou na
qualidade de estagiária da Liga, e uma enquanto terapeuta encarregue das sessões de DMT.
Todos os participantes foram recrutados através da Liga Portuguesa Contra o Cancro, onde
decorreram as 12 sessões semanais de DMT, com duração de 1:30h. Foram realizadas 6
entrevistas qualitativas semiestruturadas através de videoconferência, com base no método
fenomenológico.
Resultados: Foram encontrados significados psicológicos relativos à forma como lidam com o
isolamento e a incompreensão externa sobre a doença, à gestão dos recursos para superar
situações de crise/fases de vida, à abertura à expressão verbal, ao foco no “Aqui e Agora”, ao
Self e conceito corporal, ao bem-estar e humor, à relação com o outro, e ainda na influência
das qualidades do terapeuta.
Discussão: Encontraram-se evidências de que há uma relação entre as sessões de Dança
Movimento Terapia e a forma como os participantes encaram não só a doença, mas também os
seus estilos de vida e aspetos pessoais do Self.
Aim: With this study we intend to comprehend the subjective experience of not only oncology patients, participants in Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) sessions, as also of the therapist of these sessions, and an intern also participating in the sessions, through an phenomenological/existentialist analysis. Method: The sample consisted of 6 female participants, with ages comprehended between 24 and 66 years old, where 4 went through a oncologic process, 1 participated as an intern from Liga, and 1 as the therapist in charge of the DMT sessions. Every participant was recruited through Liga Portuguesa Contra o Cancro, where the 12 weekly sessions took place, with a duration of an 1:30h each. Using the phenomenological method as base, 6 qualitative semi structured interviews were conducted , through video conference. Results: There were found psychological meanings in the way they handled isolation and external incomprehension towards the disease, on the management of the resources to overcome crisis situations/life stages, in the openness to verbal expression, on the “Here and now” focus, on the Self and body concept, on the well-being and mood, on the relation with others, and on the influence of the qualities of the therapist. Discussion: There were found evidences that there is a relation between Dance Movement therapy and the way the participants perceive not only the disease but also their lifestyles, and personal aspects of the Self.
