Abstract(s)
O suicídio constitui um sério problema de saúde pública a nível mundial, sendo o
culminar de um processo que normalmente se inicia pela ideação suicida. Importa, por isso,
avaliar a ideação suicida e conhecer os seus fatores de risco. A associação entre o perfecionismo
e a ideação suicida tem sido bastante debatida na literatura, contudo, o conhecimento sobre o
papel da desregulação emocional nesta relação é escasso.
O principal objetivo da investigação é estudar o papel da regulação emocional na relação
entre o perfecionismo e a ideação suicida em jovens-adultos de nacionalidade portuguesa.
Para tal, foi recolhida uma amostra de 224 jovens-adultos portugueses entre os 18 e os
35 anos, de ambos os sexos. Os participantes responderam a um formulário online, que avaliou
a ideação suicida, o perfecionismo e a desregulação emocional.
Os resultados mostram uma relação positiva entre a Ideação suicida e as Dificuldades
de regulação emocional, principalmente nas dimensões Estratégias e Impulso e a Ideação
suicida negativa. Verificou-se também, uma associação positiva entre as Dificuldades de
regulação emocional e o Perfecionismo, especialmente no que se refere à dimensão Estratégias
e o Perfecionismo desadaptativo (discrepância e perfecionismo socialmente prescrito). De
salientar que a relação entre o Perfecionismo e a Ideação suicida é totalmente mediada pelas
Dificuldades de regulação emocional em geral, e, mais especificamente, pelas dimensões
Estratégias, Não-Aceitação, Impulso e Objetivos.
Concluiu-se que a Desregulação emocional desempenha um papel mediador na relação
entre o Perfecionismo e a Ideação suicida. Na presença de níveis elevados de perfecionismo, o
aumento da desregulação emocional pode contribuir determinantemente para aumentar o risco
de ideação suicida. Assim, a avaliação do perfecionismo e das dificuldades de regulação
emocional pode promover a prevenção e intervenção psicológica no comportamento suicidário
Suicide is a serious public health problem worldwide, being the culmination of a process that normally begins with suicidal ideation. Therefore, it is important to assess suicidal ideation and know its risk factors. The association between perfectionism and suicidal ideation has been widely debated in the literature, however, knowledge about the role of emotional dysregulation in this relationship is scarce. The main objective of the investigation is to study the role of emotional regulation in the relationship between perfectionism and suicidal ideation in young adults of portuguese nationality. For this purpose, a sample of 224 portuguese young adults between 18 and 35 years of age, of both sexes, was collected. Participants answered an online form, which assessed suicidal ideation, perfectionism and emotional dysregulation. The results show a positive relationship between Suicidal Ideation and Emotion Regulation Difficulties, especially in the Strategies and Impulse dimensions and Negative Suicidal Ideation. There was also a positive association between Emotion Regulation Difficulties and Perfectionism, especially with regard to the dimension Strategies and Maladaptive Perfectionism (discrepancy and socially prescribed perfectionism). It should be noted that the relationship between Perfectionism and suicidal Ideation is totally mediated by Difficulties in emotional regulation in general, and, more specifically, by the Strategies, Non Acceptance, Impulse and Objectives dimensions. It was concluded that Emotional Dysregulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between Perfectionism and Suicidal Ideation. In the presence of high levels of perfectionism, the increase in emotional dysregulation can contribute decisively to increase the risk of suicidal ideation. Thus, the assessment of perfectionism and emotional regulation difficulties can promote prevention and psychological intervention in suicidal behavior.
