Abstract(s)
Existe evidência científica de que a regulação emocional e o crescimento pós-traumático podem estar associados em pessoas com consumos de substâncias, apesar da ausência de estudos empíricos que suportem esta associação. Esta investigação tem então como objetivo avaliar a relação entre trauma, consumo de substâncias, regulação emocional e crescimento pós-traumático (CPT) numa amostra da população geral francesa. Também se propõe a comparar pessoas que receberam acompanhamento psicológico com aquelas que não o receberam. A amostra incluiu 176 pessoas com uma idade média de 31,63 anos (DP = 15), divididas em dois grupos: 74 pessoas que tinham recebido ou estavam a receber acompanhamento psicológico e 102 que não tinham recebido acompanhamento psicológico. Foram utilizados um questionário online contendo questões sociodemográficas e sobre o uso de substâncias (ASSIST), a Escala de Dificuldades na Regulação Emocional (DERS-F), um questionário com dados sobre o(s) evento(s) traumático(s) vivenciado(s), o Nível de Stress após Trauma, a Lista de Verificação de Stress Pós-Traumático e o Inventário de Crescimento Pós-Traumático (PTGI-X). Os resultados demonstram que as dificuldades de regulação emocional estão significativamente relacionadas com a gravidade dos sintomas de stress pós-traumático (PSPT) e com o consumo de substâncias. Por sua vez, o CPT está significativamente relacionado com as dificuldades de regulação emocional e com o consumo de substâncias. No que respeita às comparações entre os grupos, foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas em todos os testes
utilizados. Verificou-se, igualmente, que certos aspetos da utilização de substâncias medeiam o PSPT e o CPT. A realização dum estudo qualitativo ou a tomada em consideração de outros factores permitiria uma compreensão mais completa.
There is scientific evidence that emotional regulation and post-traumatic growth may be associated in people with substance abuse, despite the lack of empirical studies supporting this association. This research therefore aims to assess the relationship between trauma, substance use, emotional regulation and post-traumatic growth (PTG) in a sample of the general French population. It also aims to compare people who have received psychological support with those who have not received it. The sample included 176 people with an average age of 31.63 years (SD = 15), divided into two groups: 74 people who had received or are receiving psychological support and 102 who had not received psychological support. Were used a questionnaire containing socio-demographic data and data on substance use (ASSIST), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation French Scale (DERS-F), a questionnaire containing data on the traumatic event(s) experienced, the Level of Stress after Trauma, the Post-traumatic disorder Checklist (PCL-5) and the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI-X). The results show that emotional regulation difficulties are significantly related to the severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSD) and substance use. In turn, PTG is significantly related to emotional regulation difficulties and substance use. As far as comparisons between the groups are concerned, statistically significant differences were observed in all the tests used. It was also found that certain aspects of substance use mediate PSPT and PTG. A qualitative study or taking other factors into account would provide a more complete understanding.
