Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Estudos recentes sugerem que a memória de eventos traumáticos tem um impacto
significativo na organização dos eventos de vida. Posto isto, investigámos a centralidade dos eventos traumáticos em ex-combatentes de guerra e procurámos analisar a influência dos
esquemas precoces na vivência desses eventos. A amostra é constituída por 36 excombatentes
de guerra com idades entre os 60 e 82 anos. Administrou-se uma bateria de instrumentos clínicos, questionário sócio-demográfico, inventário de depressão de Beck (BDII),
posttraumatic stress disorder (PCL-M), questionário de esquemas e a centrality of events scale (CES). À exceção da CES, todos os instrumentos estão adaptados e validados para a
população Portuguesa. Aplicámos a versão Portuguesa dos instrumentos e adaptamos a CES. Os resultados indicam esquemas precoces desadaptativos são preditores da integração central do evento de guerra na memória autobiográfica, destacando-se o esquema “medo de perder o controlo”. Os esquemas desadaptativos são preditores de depressão e stress pós-traumático, havendo comorbilidade de sintomas na amostra. Assim, a CES têm impacto na história de vida, identidade e expectativas futuras mas devido ao efeito dos esquemas do self.
ABSTRACT: Recent studies suggest that memory for traumatic events have a significant impact on the organization of life events. That said, we investigated the centrality of traumatic events on ex war combatants and tried to analyze the influence of the schemes in the early experiences of these events. The sample consists of 36 former war combatants, aged between 60 and 82 years. Were administered a battery of clinical instruments, socio-demographic questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), posttraumatic stress disorder (PCL-M) questionnaire schemes and centrality of events scale (CES). Except for the CES, all instruments are adapted and validated for the Portuguese population. The results indicate early maladaptive schemas are predictors of central integration event of war in autobiographical memory, highlighting the scheme "fear of losing control”. The maladaptive schemas are predictors of depression and PTSD, with symptoms of comorbidity in the sample. Thus, the CES have an impact on life history, identity and future expectations but due to the effect of the schemes of the self.
