Introdução: Eventos adversos de vida são acontecimentos ameaçadores, que excedem os recursos de adaptação ou interrompem as metas de um indivíduo. A exposição a eventos adversos de vida está associada a piores resultados de saúde mental e física. Para melhor se compreender o seu impacto nas trajetórias de desenvolvimento, detetar indivíduos em risco e implementar medidas preventivas é necessário dispor de instrumentos válidos e fiáveis. Objetivos: Traduzir e validar o Questionnaire of Stressful Life Events (QSLE) para a população portuguesa; avaliar a frequência, a perceção de stress e a idade de ocorrência de eventos adversos de vida; e avaliar a associação entre eventos adversos de vida, saúde física, saúde mental e vinculação. Método: O QSLE foi traduzido para a língua portuguesa de forma independente por dois tradutores. Participaram 124 pessoas, preenchendo o QSLE, o Questionário de Saúde Física (QSF), o Inventário de Saúde Mental-5 (MHI-5) e o Experiences in Close Relationships – Relationship Structures Questionnaire (ECR-RS). Resultados: A versão traduzida do QSLE revelou uma boa consistência interna (α = .83). O evento adverso mais frequente foi “início de uma relação amorosa” e o evento mais stressante e que ocorreu em idade mais precoce (M = 10 anos) foi “sofrer abusos ou maus-tratos”. A frequência e o stress percecionado de eventos adversos de vida associaram-se positivamente com uma pior saúde física. Uma pior saúde física associou-se positivamente com o evitamento na vinculação. Uma pior saúde mental correlacionou-se com uma pior saúde física e com níveis mais elevados de ansiedade e evitamento na vinculação. Conclusões: o QSLE revelou ser um instrumento válido e fiável para a população portuguesa para avaliar eventos adversos de vida. A ocorrência de eventos adversos de vida associou-se a uma pior saúde física.
Introduction: Adverse life events are occurrences that are threatening, exceed adaptation resources or interrupt individual goals. The exposure to adverse life events is associated with worse outcomes in mental and physical health. To better understand its impact in development trajectories, detect individuals in risk and implement preventive measures it’s necessary to have valid and reliable instruments. Objectives: Translate and validate the Questionnaire of Stressful Life Events (QSLE) for the Portuguese population; evaluate the frequency, stress perception and age of occurrence of adverse life events; and evaluate the association between adverse life events, physical health, mental health, and attachment. Method: the QSLE was independently translated to portuguese by two translators. 124 people participated, answering to the instruments QSLE, Questionário de Saúde Física (QSF), Inventário de Saúde Mental-5 (MHI-5) e Experiences in Close Relationships – Relationship Structures Questionnaire (ECR-RS). Results: the translated version of QSLE revealed a good internal consistency (α = .83). The most frequent adverse event was “beginning of a romantic relationship” and the most stressful and precocious event (M = 10 years old) was “suffering from abuse or maltreatment”. The frequency and perceived stress of adverse life events positively associated with a worse physical health. A worse physical health associated positively with avoidance in attachment. A worse mental health associated with a worse physical health and with higher levels of anxiety and avoidance in attachment. Conclusions: the QSLE revealed to be a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate adverse life events in the portuguese population. Adverse life events associated with a worse physical health.
