Introdução: A qualidade da vinculação da criança aos cuidadores e amigos tem repercussão em vários domínios da vida do adolescente. A vinculação segura está associada a melhor ajustamento escolar, saúde física e saúde mental, enquanto a vinculação insegura está associada a psicopatologia, com mais problemas de internalização e externalização. Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre a vinculação e a saúde mental dos jovens. Método: Participaram 161 jovens entre os 10 e os 17 anos, de uma escola da região do Norte de Portugal, que responderam a Pessoas na Minha Vida - Escala de Vinculação aos Pais e aos Pares para Crianças e Adolescentes (PMV) e Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades (SDQ-por). Resultados: Verificou-se uma correlação entre a vinculação e a saúde mental dos jovens. Uma vinculação segura associou-se a menores dificuldades e a menor incidência de problemas comportamentais interiorizados e exteriorizados.Conclusão: Os resultados demonstram a forte associação entre a qualidade da vinculação e a saúde mental dos jovens. Uma vinculação segura associou-se a maior capacidade social e a um índice mais reduzido de dificuldades, com menor incidência de problemas comportamentais, tanto de interiorização como de exteriorização. Estas conclusões reforçam a importância da vinculação para o bem-estar e para a adaptação social destes indivíduos ao longo da vida.
Introduction: The quality of a child’s attachment to caregivers and friends has an impact on various domains of a teenager’s life. Secure attachment is associated with better school integration, physical health, and mental health, while insecure attachment is linked to psychopathology, including more internalization and externalization problems. Objective: To assess the relationship between attachment and mental health of teenagers. Method: 161 adolescents between 10 and 17 years old from a school in the North of Portugal completed the portuguese versions of the People in My Life (PIML) questionnaire and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-por). Results: A correlation between attachment and mental health of teenagers was found. Secure attachment was associated with less difficulties and less internalizing and externalizing behavioural problems. Conclusion: There is a strong association between the quality of attachment and mental health of adolescents. A secure attachment is linked to greater social competence and a lower index of difficulties, with a reduced incidence of both internalization and externalization behavioural problems. These conclusions reinforce the importance of attachment for well-being and social integration of these individuals throughout life.
