A violĂȘncia no namoro tem vindo a ser destacada como um problema de saĂșde
pĂșblica, devido ao desencadeamento de consequĂȘncias negativas que esta traz para as vĂtimas,
sendo que estas consequĂȘncias podem ser de carĂĄcter fĂsico ou mental, afetando vĂĄrias faixas
etårias, principalmente adolescentes e jovens adultos. Assim, a presente dissertação teve como
principal objetivo contribuir para o estudo sobre o impacto da violĂȘncia no namoro na
autoestima dos jovens adultos, comparando a autoestima de jovens vĂtimas com aqueles que
nunca sofreram deste tipo de violĂȘncia, especificamente na RegiĂŁo AutĂłnoma da Madeira.
Participaram neste estudo 162 jovens (124 do sexo feminino e 38 do sexo masculino) com
idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 25 anos pertencentes a diversos concelhos da RegiĂŁo
AutĂłnoma da Madeira (RAM). Todos os participantes preencheram um inquĂ©rito constituĂdo
pelos seguintes instrumentos: Inventårio de Conflitos na Relação de Namoro de Adolescentes
â versĂŁo Portuguesa (CADRI-P) e Escala de autoestima de Rosenberg validada para a
população portuguesa. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que indivĂduos vĂtimas de
violĂȘncia no namoro apresentam nĂveis de autoestima menores comparativamente aos que nĂŁo
sofreram nenhum tipo de violĂȘncia. Perante estes resultados, recomenda-se a implementação
de um maior nĂșmero de programas de prevenção e intervenção da violĂȘncia no namoro em
idades mais precoces.
ABSTRACT: Dating violence has been highlighted as a public health problem, due to the triggering of negative consequences that it brings to victims, and these consequences can be of a physical or mental nature, affecting various age groups, mainly adolescents and young adults. Thus, the main objective of this dissertation was to contribute to the study of the impact of dating violence on the self-esteem of young adults, comparing the self-esteem of young victims with those who have never suffered from this type of violence, specifically in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. A total of 162 young people participated in this study (124 females and 38 males) aged between 18 and 25 years old, belonging to different municipalities in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM). All participants completed a survey consisting of the following instruments: Inventory of Conflicts in Adolescent Dating Relationships â Portuguese version (CADRI-P) and Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale validated for the portuguese population. The results obtained showed that individuals who are victims of dating violence have lower levels of self-esteem compared to those who have not suffered any type of violence. In view of these results, it is recommended to implement a greater number of programs for the prevention and intervention of dating violence at earlier ages
