Introdução: A depressão é a principal causa de incapacitação a nível mundial, com implicações
em diversos aspetos das vidas de quem é afetado pela mesma, entre os quais se encontram as
relações interpessoais e as habilidades sociais. Contudo, neste âmbito, pouco se tem explorado
a complexidade do contexto interpessoal dos adultos residentes em Portugal com depressão.
Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivos: 1) estudar a relação entre os sintomas de
depressão e as problemáticas de relações interpessoais e as habilidades sociais, e a relação entre
os problemas interpessoais e as habilidades sociais; 2) averiguar em que medida os problemas
interpessoais e as habilidades sociais das pessoas com sintomas de depressão diferem dos das
pessoas sem sintomas de depressão; 3) investigar se as habilidades sociais das pessoas com
depressão estão relacionadas a problemas interpessoais específicos.
Método: Uma amostra constituída por 201 participantes completou o questionário de dados
sociodemográficos, o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais – Del Prette (IHS-Del Prette), o
Inventário de Problemas Interpessoais (IPI–32) e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck II (BDI II).
Resultados: Verificou-se que os sintomas de depressão foram um preditor estatisticamente
significativo dos problemas interpessoais e das habilidades sociais, e que reportar menos
habilidades foi um preditor significativo dos problemas interpessoais. Adicionalmente,
verificou-se que os indivíduos com mais sintomas de depressão apresentam mais problemas
interpessoais nos octantes socialmente inibido e vingativo/egocêntrico e mais déficits de
habilidades sociais nos fatores de conversação e confiança social e de auto-expressão de afeto
positivo. Por fim, constatou-se que os octantes de problemas interpessoais associados a maiores
déficits de habilidades sociais foram o socialmente inibido e o não assertivo.
Conclusão: Os resultados do presente estudo permitem salientar a forma como a depressão e o
contexto interpessoal estão relacionados, podendo afetar o bem-estar e a vida quotidiana da
população adulta residente em Portugal com sintomas de depressão.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Depression is the main cause of disability worldwide, with implications for the various aspects of the lives of those affected by it, including interpersonal relationships and social skills. However, within this context, the complexity of the interpersonal context of adults living in Portugal with depression has been relatively unexplored. Thus, the present study aimed to: 1) study the relationship between depression symptoms and interpersonal relationship issues and social skills, as well as the relationship between interpersonal problems and social skills; 3) ascertain to what extent the interpersonal issues and social skills of individuals with depression symptoms differ from those without depression symptoms; 3) investigate whether the social skills of individuals with depression are linked to specific interpersonal issues. Method: A sample of 201 participants completed the sociodemographic data questionnaire, the Social Skills Inventory – Del Prette (IHS-Del Prette), the Interpersonal Problems Inventory (IPI–32) and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI -II). Results: It was found that depression symptoms were a statistically significant predictor of interpersonal problems and social skills, and that reporting fewer skills was a significant predictor of interpersonal problems. Additionally, individuals with more depression symptoms exhibited have more interpersonal problems in the socially inhibited and vindictive/egocentric octants and more deficits in social skills in the conversation and social confidence factors, as well as in positive affect self-expression. Finally, it was found that the octants of interpersonal problems associated with greater deficits in social skills were the socially inhibited and the non assertive ones. Conclusion: The results of the current study highlight the way in which depression and the interpersonal context are related, possibly impacting the well-being and daily life of the adult population living in Portugal with depression symptoms.
