Abstract(s)
A transição para o ensino superior acarreta maiores responsabilidades e autonomia, gestão do tempo, alterações nos hábitos e estilos de vida, entre outros. Estas mudanças poderão tornar-se mais complexas quando associados à experiência de uma doença crónica não transmissível – DCNT. O autocuidado e a autorregulação eficazes atuam na prevenção e melhoria dos efeitos da doença e, consequentemente, num melhor bem-estar e qualidade de vida. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a relação entre a autorregulação, o autocuidado e a qualidade de vida de estudantes universitários com DCNT´s, bem examinar o possível papel preditor da autorregulação emocional e do autocuidado para a qualidade de vida desses jovens. A amostra é constituída por 121 participantes com idades entre os 18 e os 77 anos, 39.7% homens e 60.3% mulheres. A amostra foi recolhida através de um questionário online, que incluiu: questionário sociodemográfico e clínico; a Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale – Short Form; o Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory v4.c; e o World Health Organization Quality of Life – bref. Os resultados obtidos sugerem uma associação significativa entre a autorregulação emocional, o autocuidado e a qualidade de vida. Os homens apresentaram níveis mais elevados de regulação emocional, a nível de impulsos e consciência. A autorregulação emocional e o autocuidado foram variáveis preditoras da qualidade de vida (física, psicológica, social e ambiental). Conclui-se que uma autorregulação emocional e um autocuidado pouco eficazes resultam numa pior qualidade de vida em jovens universitários com DCNT´s.
The transition to higher education brings with it greater responsibilities and autonomy, time management, changes in habits and lifestyles, among other things. These changes can become more complex when associated with the experience of a chronic non-communicable disease - NCD. Effective self-care and self-regulation act to prevent and improve the effects of the disease and, consequently, improve well-being and quality of life. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between self-regulation, self-care and quality of life in university students with NCDs, as well as to examine the possible predictive role of emotional self-regulation and self-care for the quality of life of these young people. The sample consisted of 121 participants aged between 18 and 77, 39.7% men and 60.3% women. The sample was collected through an online survey, which included: a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire; the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - Short Form; the Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory v4.c; and the World Health Organization Quality of Life - bref. The results suggest a significant association between emotional self-regulation, self-care and quality of life. Men showed higher levels of emotional regulation in terms of impulses and awareness. Emotional self-regulation and self-care were predictors of quality of life (physical, psychological, social and environmental). It is concluded that poor emotional self-regulation and self-care results in a poorer quality of life in young university students with NCDs.
