Abstract(s)
O presente estudo no âmbito do Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica e da Saúde da Universidade Europeia teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre o trauma infantil e a qualidade de vida associada a sintomas subjetivos de inflamação intestinal. Especificamente, pretende-se analisar o papel mediador de variáveis psicológicas como a supressão emocional e o controlo cognitivo. Foi adotado um desenho quantitativo, correlacional e transversal. A amostra é composta por 402 participantes da população portuguesa, que responderam a um conjunto de questionários disponibilizados online. Os instrumentos utilizados incluem: o Questionário de Trauma na Infância, o Questionário Reduzido de Doença Inflamatória Intestinal, o Questionário de Regulação Emocional e o Questionário de Controlo Cognitivo e Flexibilidade. Com o objetivo de testar o efeito direto do trauma infantil e os efeitos indiretos da supressão emocional e controlo cognitivo, sobre a qualidade de vida associada a sintomas subjetivos de inflamação, foi conduzida uma análise de mediação paralela com 2 mediadores, com intervalos de confiança (IC) bootstrapped para avaliar a significância dos efeitos indiretos. Esta análise foi conduzida com recurso à macro PROCESS (modelo 4, parallel mediation) para SPSS. intestinal. Este estudo pode contribuir para uma melhor compreensão dos mecanismos psicossociais envolvidos na ligação entre trauma precoce e a qualidade da vida das pessoas com sintomas subjetivos de inflamação intestinal, com implicações para a prática clínica e para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de intervenção direcionadas à saúde mental e física de adultos com histórico de adversidade na infância.
The present study, conducted as part of the master’s in Clinical and Health Psychology at Universidade Europeia, aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood trauma and quality of life associated to subjective symptoms of intestinal inflammation. Specifically, the study seeks to analyse the mediating role of psychological variables such as emotional suppression and cognitive control. A quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional research design was adopted. The sample consists of 402 participants from the Portuguese population, who responded to a set of online questionnaires. The instruments used include the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and the Cognitive Control and Flexibility Questionnaire. To test the direct effect of childhood trauma and the indirect effects of emotional suppression and cognitive control on the quality of life associated with subjective symptoms of inflammation, a parallel mediation analysis with 2 mediators was conducted, with bootstrapped confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the significance of the indirect effects. This analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro (model 4, parallel mediation) for SPSS. This study may contribute to a better understanding of the psychosocial mechanisms involved in the link between early trauma and the quality of life in individuals with subjective symptoms of intestinal inflammation. These findings may have relevant implications for clinical practice and for the development of targeted intervention strategies aimed at improving the mental and physical health of adults with a history of childhood adversity.
