Impacto emocional e necessidades de familiares de doentes oncológicos:fase crónica versus fase terminal

Abstract

A doença crónica, nomeadamente a doença oncológica, tem impacto na vida familiar, sendo que todos os familiares sofrem com esta vivência. Ao experienciar a doença as famílias deparam-se com necessidades comuns. Considerando a importância da compreensão do impacto da doença no doente e nos familiares, nas diferentes fases da doença, o presente estudo consiste na comparação ao nível da perceção da alteração emocional, da experiência de luto antecipatório e da sintomatologia psicopatológica entre os familiares dos doentes na fase crónica e na fase terminal. A amostra deste estudo consistiu em 77 sujeitos familiares de doentes oncológicos em diferentes fases da doença. No que diz respeito aos resultados, não se verificaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os familiares de doentes crónicos e doentes terminais ao nível da perceção da alteração emocional e impacto e da sintomatologia psicológica. Contudo, observaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas na dimensão da sobrecarga e sacrifício pessoal, do sentimento de tristeza e saudade, da preocupação e sentimento de isolamento, e nível de luto total. Relativamente à influência das variáveis sociodemográficas na dimensão sobrecarga e sacrifício pessoal e na dimensão da preocupação e sentimento de isolamento a variável cuidador principal revelou-se um preditor significativo. Na dimensão sentimento de tristeza e saudade e na dimensão nível de luto total a fase da doença demonstrou maior poder de explicação. Este estudo representa uma contribuição para compreensão do impacto nas diferentes fases da doença oncológica, nomeadamente ao nível emocional e da experiência de luto antecipatório, e para intervenção terapêutica com os familiares

Chronic disease, namely oncological disease, has an impact on family life since each of the family members suffers with this life event. The fact that families experience a disease leads them to common needs. Regarding the importance of the disease’s impact to the patient and to the family members on different stages of the disease, the present study compares the perception of emotional change, the experience of anticipatory grief and psychopathological symptomatology of families with a patient on the chronic phase and on the terminal phase. The participants were 77 family members of oncological patients on different stages of the disease. Towards the perception of emotional change and psychopathological symptomatology, the results doesn’t show significant differences among family members of patients on both disease’s phases. However, the dimensions of overload and self-sacrifice, feeling of sadness and nostalgia, concern and feeling of isolation, and level of total grief reveal significant differences. The variable main caregiver is a significant predictor of the dimension overload and self-sacrifice as well as concern and feeling of isolation. The dimensions feeling of sadness and nostalgia and level of total grief are better explained by the disease’s phase. This study contributes to understand the impact on different stages of oncological disease, namely on the emotional level and the experience of anticipatory grief, as well as to therapeutic intervention with family members.
