Abstract(s)
Em Portugal, os comportamentos autolesivos são cada vez mais frequentes nos jovens.
O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender o impacto das funções associadas aos
comportamentos autolesivos, ao nível da severidade e diversidade destes comportamentos.
Pretende ainda compreender como variáveis do funcionamento familiar (e.g., comunicação e
conflitos) influenciam tanto a trajetória e o desenvolvimento destes comportamentos, como as
intenções destes jovens pedirem ajuda. A amostra foi constituída por 358 participantes com
idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 22 anos, provenientes de três estabelecimentos de ensino
do distrito de Setúbal, aos quais foram aplicados os seguintes instrumentos: FACES IV,
Inventário do Clima Familiar, Inventário de Comportamentos Autolesivos, Questionário do
Pedido de Ajuda, Questionário das Representações das Funções dos Comportamentos
Autolesivos e Questionário Sociodemográfico. Os resultados mais notáveis demonstram que
as funções intrapessoais contribuem para o aumento da severidade e diversidade. Verificou-se
ainda diferenças na comunicação e nos conflitos familiares entre jovens que praticam
comportamentos autolesivos e os que não praticam. A Comunicação e os Conflitos mostram
correlações significativas com a severidade e diversidade dos métodos. Adicionalmente, o
pedido de ajuda está associado apenas com as variáveis familiares, mais concretamente, o
estudo encontrou diferenças na comunicação familiar entre os jovens que pedem ajuda à
família e os que não pedem.
ABSTRACT: In Portugal, deliberate self-harm are increasingly common among adolescents. This study aims to understand the impact of the roles associated with self-injurious behaviors on the severity and diversity of these behaviors. It also aims to understand how family functioning variables (e.g., communication and conflicts) influence the trajectory and development of these behaviors, as well as the intentions of these young people to ask for help. The sample consisted of 358 participants aged between 12 and 22 years old, from three schools in the district of Setúbal, to whom the following instruments were applied: FACES IV, Family Climate Inventory, Inventory of Deliberate Self- Harm Behaviours, Help-Seeking Questionnaire of Representations about the Functions of Deliberate Self-Harm for Adolescents and Sociodemographic Questionnaire. The most notable results show that intrapersonal functions contribute to increased severity and diversity. There were also differences in communication and family conflicts between adolescents who practice deliberate self-harm and those who do not. Communication and Conflicts show significant correlations with method severity and diversity. Additionally, help-seeking is associated only with family variables, more specifically, the study found differences in family communication between adolescents who ask the family for help and those who do not.
