O cancro da mama é mundialmente a neoplasia mais comum nas mulheres (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2018). Quer o diagnóstico, quer o tratamento têm impacto negativo a nível físico, psicológico e social (Prue, Rankin, Allen, Gracey & Cramp, 2006). Geralmente, após esse impacto negativo, as pessoas sentem a necessidade de partilhar as suas emoções e pensamentos com aqueles que as rodeiam (Marroquín, Czamanski-Cohen, Weihs & Stanton, 2016). No entanto, as caraterísticas do ambiente social podem influenciar a forma como irá ser feita a partilha, podendo inibir a forma como as pessoas falam, pensam e se sentem em relação à doença, o que consequentemente irá afetar negativamente o ajustamento ao cancro (Lepore & Revenson, 2007). O presente estudo pretende compreender em que medida é que os constrangimentos sociais podem impedir que a partilha social de emoções funcione como um fator de ajustamento mental ao cancro da mama. Neste estudo participaram 79 mulheres adultas, sobreviventes ao cancro da mama há pelo menos dois anos. Foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: Indicadores da partilha social das emoções, escala de constrangimentos sociais e escala de ajustamento mental ao cancro. Verificou-se que as mulheres que relataram maiores constrangimentos sociais, apresentaram um menor ajustamento mental ao cancro. Porém, mediante a presença de constrangimentos sociais baixos, a partilha social não mostrou estar associada diretamente a um maior ajustamento mental ao cancro em alg
Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm in women worldwide (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2018). Both the diagnosis and the treatment have a negative physical, psychological and social impact (Prue, Rankin, Allen, Gracey & Cramp, 2006). Generally, after this negative impact, people feel the need to share their emotions and thoughts with those around them (Marroquín, Czamanski-Cohen, Weihs & Stanton, 2016). However, the characteristics of the social environment can influence the way that sharing will be made and may inhibit the way people talk, think and feel about the disease, which will negatively affect the adjustment to cancer (Lepore & Revenson, 2007). The present study aims to evaluate how the social constraints may prevent social sharing of emotions from functioning as a mental adjustment factor for breast cancer. This study involved 79 adult women who had survived breast cancer at least two years ago. The following instruments were used: Indicators of social sharing of emotions, scale of social constraints and scale of mental adjustment to cancer. It was found that women who reported greater social constraints presented a lower mental adjustment to cancer. However, through the presence of low social constraints, social sharing is not directly associated with a greater mental adjustment to cancer in some dimensions.
