Resumo(s)
Na área da Psicologia, os psicólogos, especialmente os estagiários, enfrentam níveis elevados de stress e alta suscetibilidade a ansiedade, depressão e exaustão emocional. As estratégias de autocuidado, incluindo a prática de autocompaixão e a frequência em terapia, surgem como ferramentas críticas para mitigar estes desafios e melhorar o bem-estar geral. Este estudo quantitativo investigou a relação entre a prática de autocuidado, autocompaixão, bem-estar psicológico e frequência em terapia pessoal em estagiários de Psicologia, para compreender as estratégias que atenuam as possíveis consequências negativas na sua saúde mental e performance profissional.
Os participantes (N=136, Midade=24.74, DP=3.483) foram estagiários curriculares e profissionais de Psicologia, aos quais foram aplicados três instrumentos: Escala de Avaliação de Autocuidado para Psicólogos (EAAP; adaptação portuguesa: Reis et al., 2020), Escala de Autocompaixão (SELFCS; Neff, K.D., 2003; tradução e adaptação portuguesa: Pinto Gouveia, J. & Castilho, P, 2006) e Escala de Bem-Estar Psicológico (EBEP; adaptação portuguesa: Novo et al., 2004). Foi também aplicado um questionário sobre a frequência em terapia e as razões por detrás da mesma.
Os resultados do estudo revelam que a amostra tem níveis elevados de autocuidado, bem-estar psicológico e autocompaixão. Revela também que indivíduos que frequentam atualmente terapia têm níveis mais baixos de autonomia, domínio do meio, autoaceitação, bem-estar psicológico geral e autocompaixão em comparação com aqueles que nunca frequentaram terapia. Por outro lado, os participantes que frequentam terapia apresentaram maior autocrítica, isolamento e sobreidentificação. Adicionalmente, os participantes que já frequentaram terapia apresentaram níveis mais elevados de autonomia, bem-estar psicológico total, autocompaixão e mindfulness, comparativamente às pessoas que frequentam terapia. Na variável sobreidentificação, as pessoas que frequentam terapia apresentam níveis mais altos do que as pessoas que frequentaram terapia no passado.
Conclui-se que o autocuidado e a autocompaixão são preditores de bem-estar em estagiários de Psicologia, tal como o envolvimento em terapia pessoal.
In the field of Psychology, psychologists, especially interns, face high levels of stress and high susceptibility to anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion. Self-care strategies, including practicing self-compassion and attending therapy, emerge as critical tools to mitigate these challenges and improve overall well-being. This quantitative study investigated the relationship between the practice of self-care, self-compassion, psychological well-being, and personal therapy attendance in Psychology interns, to understand the strategies that mitigate the possible negative consequences on their mental health and professional performance. The participants (N=136, Age=24.74, SD=3.483) were Psychology curricular and professional interns, to whom three instruments were applied: Self-Care Assessment Scale for Psychologists (EAAP; Portuguese adaptation: Reis et al., 2020) , Self-Compassion Scale (SELFCS; Neff, K.D., 2003; Portuguese translation and adaptation: Pinto Gouveia, J. & Castilho, P, 2006) and Psychological Well-Being Scale (EBEP; Portuguese adaptation: Novo et al., 2004). Additionally, a form was administered about therapy attendance and the reasons behind it. The study results reveal high levels of self-care, psychological well-being, and self-compassion. Additionally, it was found that individuals currently attending therapy exhibited lower levels of autonomy, environmental mastery, self-acceptance, general psychological well-being, and self-compassion compared to those who had never attended therapy. On the other hand, participants who attend therapy showed greater self-criticism, isolation, and over-identification. Additionally, participants who attended therapy showed higher levels of autonomy, total psychological well-being, self-compassion, and mindfulness, compared to people who attend therapy. In the overidentification variable, people who attend therapy have higher levels than people who attended therapy in the past. It is concluded that self-care and self-compassion are predictors of well-being in Psychology interns, as is involvement in personal therapy.
