Abstract(s)
Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a imagem corporal positiva de
mulheres jovens com cancro da mama, considerando o apoio social percebido por elas e
as estratégias de coping utilizadas. Considerando que o estudo sobre a imagem corporal
positiva relacionada com mulheres mais jovens com cancro da mama carece de maior
estudo e investigação, o estudo procurou especificamente entender se as estratégias de
coping explicam a relação entre o apoio social percebido e a imagem corporal positiva.
Participaram 157 mulheres com idades entre os 26 e os 50 anos, que responderam a três
escalas: Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), Escala Multidimensional de Suporte Social
Percebido (MSPSS) e o Brief Cope. Os resultados mostraram que o apoio social tem um
impacto positivo significativo em algumas estratégias de coping, sugerindo que quanto
maior o apoio social, melhores são as estratégias de coping ativo. Além disso,
constatou-se que o apoio social também influencia positivamente a imagem corporal.
Mesmo considerando as estratégias de coping, o apoio social manteve um efeito direto e
significativo sobre a imagem corporal. Verificou-se ainda que o apoio social melhora as
estratégias de coping, as quais, por sua vez, promovem uma imagem corporal positiva,
mediando parcialmente essa relação. Estes resultados trazem importantes implicações
para a prática e a investigação, sublinhando a relevância do apoio social e o papel das
estratégias de coping na melhoria da imagem corporal positiva em mulheres jovens com
cancro da mama.
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the positive body image of young women with breast cancer, considering their perceived social support and the role of coping strategies. Considering that the study on positive body image related to younger women with breast cancer needs further study and research. The study specifically sought to understand whether coping strategies explain the relationship between perceived social support and positive body image. The participants were 157 women aged between 26 and 50, who answered three scales: the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Brief Cope. The results showed that social support has a significant positive impact on coping strategies, suggesting that the greater the social support, the better the active coping strategies. In addition, it was found that social support also has a positive influence on body image. Even considering coping strategies, social support maintained a direct and significant effect on body image. It was also found that social support improves coping strategies, which in turn promote a positive body image, partially mediating this relationship. These results have important implications for practice and research, highlighting the relevance of social support and the role of coping strategies in improving positive body image in young women with breast cancer
