Abstract(s)
Este estudo procura entender qual o papel da apreciação corporal na relação em relação aos comportamentos autolesivos e a ideação suicida nos adolescentes. O método adotado é quantitativo, a partir de um estudo descritivo-correlacional e no qual participam 411 jovens, com idades entre os 12 e 19 anos. Foram utilizados três instrumentos de recolha de dados – o Questionário de Ideação Suicida (QIS); o Inventário de Comportamentos Autolesivos (ICAL) e a Escala de Apreciação Corporal (EAC-PT) – todos eles adaptados para a população portuguesa. Os dados encontrados revelam que os participantes, na sua generalidade, apresentam altos níveis de apreciação corporal e níveis significativos de comportamentos autolesivos, assim como de ideação suicida. A imagem corporal está negativamente correlacionada com a ideação suicida e com os comportamentos autolesivos nos adolescentes, e os comportamentos autolesivos aparecem positivamente correlacionados com a ideação suicida. Também foi encontrado diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os sexos na apreciação corporal sendo que os rapazes apresentavam uma melhor apreciação corporal e as raparigas maiores níveis de ideação suicida e maior prática dos comportamentos autolesivos de cortar e morder. Conclui-se que a imagem corporal é um fato de risco para a ideação suicida e para a prática de comportamentos autolesivos, e a apreciação corporal, quanto mais elevada, menores os níveis de ideias suicidas e de comportamentos autolesivos.
This study seeks to understand the role of body appreciation in relation to self-injurious behaviors and suicidal ideation in adolescents. The method adopted is quantitative, based on a descriptive-correlational study and in which 411 young people, aged between 12 and 19 years old, participate. Three data collection instruments were used - the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (QIS); the Inventory of Self-injurious Behaviors (ICAL) and the Body Appreciation Scale (EAC-PT) - all of them adapted for the Portuguese population. The data found reveal that the participants, in general, have high levels of body appreciation and significant levels of self-injurious behaviors, as well as suicidal ideation. Body image is negatively correlated with suicidal ideation and self-injurious behavior in adolescents, and self-injurious behavior appears positively correlated with suicidal ideation. There was also a statistically significant difference between the sexes in body appreciation, with boys showing better body appreciation and girls with higher levels of suicidal ideation and greater practice of self-injurious behaviors of cutting and biting. It is concluded that body image is a risk factor for suicidal ideation and for the practice of self-injurious behaviors, and the body appr
