Resumo(s)
A perturbação obsessivo compulsiva (POC) é uma condição incapacitante dado o sofrimento associado e o impacto na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos, esta pode apresentar elevados níveis de comprometimento social e profissional. Esta condição carrega um estigma associado, principalmente nas vertentes mais hostis, o que diminui a procura de ajuda, aumentando a tendência para esconder a sintomatologia. Segundo vários estudos níveis elevados de Literacia em saúde mental (LSM) podem estar associados a uma procura mais ativa de ajuda profissional, a uma maior abertura psicológica, menor distanciamento social e níveis de estigma mais reduzidos. Propusemo-nos a este estudo para comparar a viabilidade e eficácia, num estudo piloto, com base num programa de intervenção através das redes sociais, destinado ao aumento da literacia associado à POC. Participaram no estudo 61 indivíduos com a profissão de segurança privada, com idades compreendidas entre os 22 e os 66 anos. Foi pedido aos participantes que visualizassem a história do José, repartida em 12 episódios, no caso da condição experimental: Programa literacia POC e no caso da condição de controlo: Programa literacia Enfarte do Miocárdio. Os resultados da comparação entre os programas sugerem-nos que um programa para aumento de LSM direcionado à POC, estruturado de forma sequencial, pode contribuir para a destigmatização e para o aumento da LSM. Dado ao número reduzido da nossa amostra, e tratando-se de um estudo piloto, os resultados deste poderão ser replicados em ensaios clínicos controlados.
The Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) it is a disabling condition given the associated suffering and impact on individuals' quality of life, which can present high levels of social and professional decrease. This condition carries an associated stigma, especially in the most hostile aspects, which reduces the search for help, increasing the tendency to hide the symptoms. According to several studies, high levels of Mental Health Literacy (MHL) may be associated with a more active search for professional help, and a greater psychological openness, less social distancing and lower levels of stigma. We set out to carry out this study to compare the feasibility and effectiveness, in a pilot study, based on an intervention program through social networks, aimed at increasing literacy related to OCD. Participated on this study 61 individuals with a private security profession, aged between 22 and 66. Participants were asked to view José's story, divided into 12 episodes, in the case of the experimental condition: OCD literacy program and in the case of the control condition: Myocardial Infarction literacy program. The results of the comparison between the programs, suggest that a program to increase MHL aimed at OCD, structured in a sequential manner, can contribute to destigmatization and an increase in MHL. Given the small number of our sample, and as it is a pilot study, the results of this study could be replicated in controlled clinical trials.
