ABSTRACT
The present study evaluated the prevalence of PTSD indicators in patients who had to be hospitalized in ICU six months after being discharged and examined the relationship between PTSD and mnemonic memories. Participants were 41 adult patients with different diseases who answered questionnaires about PTSD, memory and clinical information. It was identified that 24.4% of the sample presented PTSD symptoms. These patients presented more affective memories than those without PTSD (t=2.29, p<.05). Affective memories correlated with total PTSD and with the dimensions 'reliving' (r=.443, p<.01) and 'excitability' (r=.403, p<.01). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that sex (woman) and the presence of affective memories were PTSD predictors, explaining 38.2% of the variance.
RESUMO
O estudo avaliou a prevalência de indicadores de TEPT em pacientes que foram internados em UTI seis meses após a alta hospitalar, e examinou a relação entre TEPT e recordações mnêmincas. Participaram 41 pacientes adultos com diferentes doenças, que responderam a questionários sobre TEPT, memórias e informações clínicas. Identificou-se que 24,4% da amostra possuía indicadores de TEPT. Estes pacientes apresentaram mais memórias afetivas que os pacientes sem TEPT (t=2,29, p<0,05). As memórias afetivas correlacionaram-se com o TEPT total (r=0,408, p<0,01) e com suas dimensões revivência (r=0,443, p<0,01) e excitabilidade (r=0,403, p<0,01). A análise de regressão hierárquica mostrou que o sexo (mulher) (β=0,44, p<0,01) e a presença de memórias afetivas (β=0,46, p<0,01) foram preditoras de TEPT, explicando 38,2% da sua variância.
