Abstract(s)
Nas áreas da saúde e da psicologia o principal instrumento de trabalho é, para além de qualquer técnica, teste ou medicamento, a própria pessoa do técnico com as suas capacidades e competências pessoais e sociais. Contudo, há momentos em que essas capacidades e competências nunca parecem ser suficientes para ajudar o outro, como é o caso dos momentos de sofrimento intenso desencadeado por perdas associadas a doenças graves e mesmo à morte. Tendo as emoções um grande valor adaptativo para os indivíduos, permitindo enfrentar os desafios e aproveitar as oportunidades oferecidas pelo meio, o seu estudo revela-se da maior importância na área da saúde e em especial no que diz respeito à vivência da morte. O objectivo deste estudo consiste em analisar a forma com as emoções se relacionam com o modo como encaramos a morte. Assim, avaliaram-se especificamente a ansiedade face à morte, as diferentes perspectivas sobre a morte, a expressividade emocional e a regulação emocional. A amostra foi constituída por 182 indivíduos, estudantes do ensino superior na R.A.M., de ambos os sexos e com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 51 anos. Palavras chave: morte, ansiedade de morte, diferentes perspectivas de morte, expressividade emocional, regulação emocional, ensino superior
In health and psychology the main work instrument is, more than any other technique, test or medicine, the technician himself, with all his capabilities and competences – personal and social. There are nevertheless some occasions in which these capabilities and competences seem never tobe good enough, as is the case of intense suffering derived from serious disease or even death. Because emotions have a very strong adaptative value for individuals, allowing challenges to be overcome and opportunities exploited, its study is of foremost importance in health care, especially in where it concerns the way people face death. The aim of this paper is to analyse the way emotions interact with the way we face death. In this manner the following specifics were analysed: anxiety towards death, different perspectives of death, emotional expressions and emotional control. The sample is made out of 182 individuals, university students in Madeira, from both sexes, and with ages comprised between 17 and 51.
