Resumo(s)
A experiência de um evento traumático é algo comum, com potencial de ser experienciado por qualquer indivíduo no mundo. Os profissionais de primeira resposta, são uma população que experiencia eventos traumáticos de forma recorrente. Estes profissionais podem experienciar, por exemplo, um trauma vicariante como resultado do seu envolvimento empático com indivíduos que tenham experienciado trauma. Não obstante, a experiência de um trauma vicariante, pode possibilitar a ocorrência de mudanças positivas resultantes do distress do evento, denominadas por crescimento pós-traumático. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a relação do crescimento pós-traumático com a disrupção de crenças centrais, dificuldades de regulação emocional, flexibilidade psicológica e o trauma vicariante. A amostra foi composta por 222 (M = 41,93; DP = 0,56) profissionais de primeira resposta (157 homens e 65 mulheres) que responderam ao questionário sociodemográfico, questões acerca do acontecimento traumático, à Escala de Trauma Vicariante, ao Inventário de Crenças Centrais, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Short Form, Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory e Posttraumatic Growth Inventory – Expanded. Os resultados permitiram a observação de relações significativas entre as variáveis psicológicas em estudo, nas quais se destaca a flexibilidade psicológica, que se relacionou com o CPT e com as suas dimensões. As análises de regressão evidenciaram o papel preditor de dimensões da flexibilidade psicológica e da disrupção de crenças no crescimento pós-traumático. Estes resultados elucidam o papel facilitador que a flexibilidade psicológica pode ter no crescimento pós-traumático destes profissionais de primeira resposta, assim como a sua possível inclusão no modelo de CPT, em estudos futuros.
The experience of a traumatic event is a common occurrence that can be experienced by anyone in the world. The first responders represent a population that experience traumatic events regularly. These professionals can experience, for example, vicarious trauma because of their empathetic involvement with individuals who have experienced trauma. Nevertheless, the experience of vicarious trauma, can enable the experience of positive changes, resulting from the distress of the event, referred to as post-traumatic growth. The present study aimed to analyse the relationship between post-traumatic growth and the disruption of core beliefs, difficulties in emotional regulation, psychological flexibility, and vicarious trauma. The sample consisted of 222 (M = 41,93; DP = 0,56) first responders (157 men and 65 women) who answered the sociodemographic questionnaire, questions about the traumatic event, an adapted version of the Vicarious Traumatic Scale, the Core Beliefs Inventory, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Short Form, the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory, and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory – Expanded. The result allowed for the observation of significant relationships between psychological variables in study, notably psychological flexibility, and its dimensions, which were related to the CPT and its dimensions. Regression analyses highlight the predictive role of psychological flexibility and belief disruption in post-traumatic growth. These results shed light on the facilitating role that psychological flexibility can play in the post-traumatic growth of first responders, as well as its possible inclusion in the CPT model in future studies.
