VARELA, Ana Margarida e LEAL, Isabel. A perturbação de pós-stress traumático e o sentido de coerência em mulheres com cancro da mama. Revista Portuguesa de Enfermagem de Saúde Mental [online]. 2011, n.6, pp.15-19. ISSN 1647-2160.
In the present study were investigated the posttraumatic stress disorder and the sense of coherence in a sample of 84 women with breast cancer. To this end, was developed a research protocol made of a Questionnaire of identification, the Orientation to Life Questionnaire - QOV (Nunes, 1999) and the PTSD Checklist Civilian Version - PCL-C (Cordova, Andrykowski, Kenady, McGrath, Sloan & Redd, 1995). The data obtained showed that that posttraumatic stress disorder were associated with a fewer degree of sense of coherence. We conclude that the fact that the world is viewed as comprehensive, flexible and meaningful, promotes the adaptation of women who were diagnosed with breast cancer to the problems of disease, so the lower levels of disturbance post-traumatic stress disorder.
