Resumo: | The media have promoted the idea that the economic crisis is strongly associated with a decline in mental health and with family important consequences. However, this seems to be a “truth” poorly studied in Portugal, despite being almost dogmatically assumed.Thus, this study analyses a sample of people (N = 287) which perceives the economic crisis as its main family problem, according to the following variables: family difficulties (SCORE-15), quality of family life (QOL), marital adjustment (DAS), marital satisfaction(EASAVIC), congruence (EC) and psychopathological symptoms (BSI). The results show that, although the crisis affects the quality of life, participants are resilient in terms of their family functioning, thus being conjugality the most affected relational area. Though theyare sadder and more worried, the participants show themselves emotionally healthy. This study has some limitations, such as the sample characteristics, but nevertheless it contributes to fill the gap in scientific evidence concerning the impact of the economic crisis onthe Portuguese families by means of a more psychosocial and less pathological approach. |

No entanto, esta parece ser uma “verdade” muito pouco estudada em Portugal, apesar de ser quase dogmaticamente assumida. Assim, este estudo analisa uma amostra de pessoas (N = 287) que considera a crise económica o seu principal problema familiar, atendendo às seguintes variáveis: dificuldades familiares (SCORE-15), qualidade da vida familiar (QV),ajustamento conjugal (DAS), satisfação conjugal (EASAVIC), congruência (CE) e sintomas psicopatológicos (BSI). Os resultados mostram que, apesar de a crise afetar a qualidade de vida, os participantes são resilientes em termos do funcionamento familiar, sendo a conjugalidade, a área relacional mais prejudicada. Embora mais tristes e preocupados, os participantes mostram-se emocionalmente saudáveis. Este estudo apresenta algumas limitações, como as características da amostra. Apesar disso, contribui para preencher a lacuna de evidências científicas sobre o impacto da crise económica nas famílias portuguesas, através de uma abordagem mais psicossocial e despatologizante.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2016-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_58-2_2https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_58-2_2Psychologica; Vol. 58 No. 2 (2015); 25-39Psychologica; Vol. 58 N.º 2 (2015); 25-391647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_58-2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_58-2_2https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_58-2_2/2429Direitos de Autor (c) 2016 Psychologicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCunha, DianaRelvas, Ana Paula2023-05-31T13:59:32Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/3180Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:57:31.316730Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

The media have promoted the idea that the economic crisis is strongly associated with a decline in mental health and with family important consequences. However, this seems to be a “truth” poorly studied in Portugal, despite being almost dogmatically assumed.Thus, this study analyses a sample of people (N = 287) which perceives the economic crisis as its main family problem, according to the following variables: family difficulties (SCORE-15), quality of family life (QOL), marital adjustment (DAS), marital satisfaction(EASAVIC), congruence (EC) and psychopathological symptoms (BSI). The results show that, although the crisis affects the quality of life, participants are resilient in terms of their family functioning, thus being conjugality the most affected relational area. Though theyare sadder and more worried, the participants show themselves emotionally healthy. This study has some limitations, such as the sample characteristics, but nevertheless it contributes to fill the gap in scientific evidence concerning the impact of the economic crisis onthe Portuguese families by means of a more psychosocial and less pathological approach. |
