Resumo: The experience of chronic illness is a stressful life event that can lead to a set of traumatic experiences with intense and long-lasting psychosocial effects still poorly understood. Expressive writing is particularly powerful in disclosing the in-depth meaning of human experiences, also creating opportunities for insight and reorganization of traumatic experiences. The present study analyzed the traumatic experiences reported by 36 adolescents with scoliosis (19 using the brace) and 20 with diabetes, using expressive writing paradigm. The results identified the monitoring of therapy, physical complaints, relationships and concerns about the development of chronic illness as the most frequent traumatic experiences. The comparison of the narratives of the three groups of adolescents showed that more than the type of chronic illness the use of the brace was significantly implicated in the traumatic experiences of these adolescents. Over time expressive writing showed positive effects, reinforcing its relevance as a tool for clinical use.

A escrita expressiva permite aceder aos significados de vivências pessoais criando simultaneamente oportunidades de insight e reorganização de experiências traumáticas. Usando esta técnica o presente estudo analisou as experiências traumáticas narradas por 36 adolescentes com escoliose (19 dos quais usam colete) e 20 com diabetes. Os resultados identificaram a monitorização da terapêutica, as queixas físicas, as relações interpessoais e as preocupações com o desenvolvimento da doença como sendo as experiências traumáticas mais frequentes. A comparação das narrativas dos três grupos de adolescentes mostrou que mais do que o tipo de doença, o uso do colete está significativamente implicado nas vivências traumáticas destes adolescentes. A análise dos resultados ao longo do tempo, mostrou ainda efeitos positivos da escrita expressiva na diminuição da vivência traumática destes adolescentes, reforçando a sua pertinência como instrumento para a clínica.ISPA - Instituto Universitário2019-09-03info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1631https://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1631Análise Psicológica; Vol 37, No 3 (2019); 327-340Análise Psicológica; Vol 37, No 3 (2019); 327-3401646-60200870-8231reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1631http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1631/pdfCopyright (c) 2019 Análise Psicológicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLopes, Ariana PintoLemos, Marina SerraHenriques, Margarida RangelOliveira, António FonsecaMendes, Rosário2023-05-11T10:19:45Zoai:ojs.localhost:article/1631Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:51:12.126422Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
