A Sintomatologia Depressiva na Memória de Trabalho

Abstract

A memória de trabalho refere-se ao armazenamento temporário e à manipulação de informações que são necessárias para o desempenho de atividades cognitivas. O esboço visuoespacial é um subsistema visual paralelo, da memória de trabalho, que serve para armazenar e manipular a informação visual e espacial. A sintomatologia depressiva é marcada, maioritariamente, por sintomas como a tristeza, choro, insónia, irritabilidade e desânimo. Este estudo procura perceber se existe alguma diferença entre sexos em relação à sintomatologia depressiva e aferir se índices de sintomatologia depressiva elevados influenciam o desempenho dos indivíduos na tarefa RCBTT do esboço visuoespacial. Método: o estudo foi constituído por 109 participantes, de ambos os sexos, de nacionalidade portuguesa e com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 52 anos. Todos os participantes preencheram um questionário sociodemográfico; responderam a uma pergunta para avaliar o seu nível de fadiga, sonolência e alerta no momento; e por fim, iniciaram a tarefa RCBTT. Resultados: não encontrámos diferenças significativas de sintomatologia depressiva entre o sexo feminino e masculino, nem do score da tarefa RCBTT com o BSI. Conclusões: os resultados deste estudo sugerem que não existe, nesta amostra, uma relação direta entre a sintomatologia depressiva e o sexo, nem do score da tarefa com o BSI.

Working memory refers to the temporary storage and manipulation information that is necessary for the performance of cognitive activities. The visuospatial sketch is a parallel visual subsystem of working memory that serves to store and manipulate visual and spatial information. The depressive symptomatology is mostly marked bysymptoms such as sadness, crying, insomnia, irritability, and discouragement. This study seeks to understand if there is any difference between genders in relation to depressive symptoms and to know if high levels of depressive symptoms influence the performance of individuals in the RCBTT. Method: The study was composed of 109 participants, of both genders, of Portuguese nationality and aged between 18 and 52 years. All participants filled out a sociodemographic questionnaire; answered a question to evaluate their level of fatigue, sleepiness and alertness at the momento; and finally, started the task. Results: It was not found gender depressive symptomatology significant differences, nor of the task score with the BSI. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that there is no direct relationship between depressive symptomatology and gender, nor between the task score and the BSI.
