Neste trabalho apresenta-se um estudo descritivo, comparativo
entre dois grupos, e de natureza exploratória que incidiu
sobre o Coping e a Perturbação Pós Stress Traumático (Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD) em veteranos da guerra
colonial portuguesa (1961-74).
Uma amostra de veteranos (N=70), avaliados psicologicamente no
Hospital Militar, foi dividida em dois grupos (Gr 1 com PTSD e
Gr 2 sem PTSD), procurando-se testar algumas hipóteses quanto
ao tipo de Estratégias de Coping utilizadas.
Como principal Instrumento foi utilizado o questionário COPE
(Carver e colaboradores, 1989), de auto preenchimento e na
versão completa.
Dos resultados obtidos, quanto às várias hipóteses enunciadas,
salientamos, que os veteranos da guerra colonial portuguesa
com o diagnóstico da PTSD, usaram menos estratégias de Coping
centradas na resolução de problemas e manifestaram mais
sintomatologia psicopatológica, quando comparados com os
veteranos que não preencheram todos os critérios de
diagnóstico da PTSD.
Estes resultados, ainda que limitados pela dimensão da
amostra, convergem para diversos estudos homólogos da revisão
de literatura, quanto às estratégias de Coping utilizadas por
veteranos de outras guerras com PTSD.
The present exploratory study aimed to describe and compare psychological coping styles and PTSD between two groups of veterans of the Portuguese colonial war. Based on a sample of veterans (N=70), psychologically evaluated at the Military Hospital, these were divided into two groups (G1 with PTSD and G2 without PTSD) in an attempt to test some hypothesis concerning the type of coping strategies adopted The main instrument used was the self-report COPE Inventory (Carver et al., 1989) in its complete version (60 items). The results of the various hypothesis based study show that the veterans of the Portuguese colonial war diagnosed with PTSD adopted less coping strategies focused on the resolution of problems and revealed more psychopathological symptomatology when compared to veterans who did not meet the criteria of PTSD diagnosis. These results, although limited by the number of the subjects of the sample, are consistent with similar studies and literature in what concerns the coping strategies adopted by other war veterans diagnosed with PTSD.
