Abstract(s)
Os distúrbios de ansiedade têm crescido de maneira acelerada nos últimos anos e causam grande impacto na vida de uma pessoa em diferentes âmbitos do funcionamento do indivíduo, afetando-o nos aspectos, social, pessoal, ocupacional, entre outros.
Esta investigação tem como objetivo, desenvolver uma solução de design de produto sob a forma de um equipamento utilizado no auxílio do controle de sintomas de crises de ansiedade em pessoas adultas, baseando-se em pesquisas das áreas de psicologia e psiquiatria sobre tratamentos convencionais e tratamentos alternativos no controle dos sintomas dos distúrbios de ansiedade.
A dissertação está dividida em três fases, a fase exploratória, a fase generativa e a fase avaliativa. Tendo em consideração o aspecto prático do projeto, será utilizada uma metodologia mista, integrando métodos quantitativos, qualitativos e de design.
Para realização da fase exploratória foi efetuada a revisão de literatura, de modo a compreender os distúrbios de ansiedade e suas respectivas diferenças, suas formas de diagnóstico e tratamento.
Foram realizados inquéritos com pacientes diagnosticados com algum distúrbio de ansiedade, de modo a compreender o impacto destes distúrbios na qualidade de vida e bem-estar do indivíduo, e eventuais produtos existentes para o controlo de sintomas de ansiedade.
No decorrer da fase generativa, a partir das informações recolhidas na fase anterior, foi delineada a hipótese com as definições do produto, de modo a desenvolver soluções de design, as quais permitiram a utilização do produto de forma simples e de fácil acesso para o indivíduo no momento em que sentir os primeiros sintomas de ansiedade.
O protótipo produzido no decorrer da fase generativa foi testado com indivíduos diagnosticados com ansie- dade e apresentado a profissionais de psicologia e psiquiatria para avaliação e sugestão de possíveis melhorias. Chegamos a considerações finais após eventuais alterações ao projeto, deixando recomendações para futuras investigações e o consequente contributo para o conhecimento e para a sociedade.
Anxiety disorders have grown rapidly in recent years and have a major impact on a person’s life in different areas of their functioning, affecting them socially, personally, occupationally and more. The aim of this research is to develop a product design solution in the form of a device used to help control the symptoms of anxiety attacks in adults, based on research in the fields of psychology and psychiatry into conventional and alternative treatments for controlling the symptoms of anxiety disorders. The dissertation is divided into three phases: the exploratory phase, the generative phase and the evaluative phase. Taking into account the practical aspect of the project, a mixed methodology will be used, integrating quantitative, qualitative and design methods. To carry out the exploratory phase, a literature review was carried out in order to understand anxiety disorders and their respective differences, their forms of diagnosis and treatment. Surveys were carried out with patients diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, in order to understand the impact of these disorders on the individual’s quality of life and well-being, and any existing products for controlling anxiety symptoms. During the generative phase, based on the information gathered in the previous phase, the hypothesis was the hypothesis was outlined with the product definitions, in order to develop design solutions which allowed the product to be used in a simple and easily accessible way for the individual at the moment they felt the first symptoms of anxiety. The prototype produced during the generative phase was tested with individuals diagnosed with anxiety and presented to psychology and psychiatry professionals for evaluation and suggestions for possible improvements. We have come to our final considerations after possible changes to the project, leaving recommendations for future research and the consequent contribution to knowledge and society.
