Introdução – A dor predomina em muitas patologias médicas e acarreta diversas
implicações para o doente. O presente estudo visou avaliar a eficácia de uma intervenção autossugestiva, como complemento ao tratamento médico, no aumento da autoeficácia e controlo da dor. Metodologia – Para a concretização deste objetivo, 205
pacientes adultos com dor foram distribuídos aleatoriamente por dois grupos que se distinguiram quanto à intervenção recebida durante 12 semanas, nomeadamente IAS (intervenção autossugestiva) e ISAS (intervenção sem autossugestão). Os dois grupos foram comparados quanto à evolução da autoeficácia e do controlo da dor ao longo desse período. Resultados e discussão – Os resultados mostraram um aumento estatisticamente significativo destas variáveis no grupo IAS mas não no grupo ISAS, sugerindo a eficácia da intervenção autossugestiva. Este estudo representa, assim, um importante contributo para a prática clínica com os doentes com dor.
Introduction – Pain is the predominant complaint in many medical diseases and carries several implications for the patient. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-suggestive intervention, as a complement to medical treatment, in the patients’ self-efficacy and pain control. Methodology – For this aim, 205 adult patients suffering from pain were randomized in two groups that received different interventions during 12 weeks: IAS group received a self-suggestive intervention and ISAS group received an intervention without self-suggestion. The two groups were compared regarding the changes in self-efficacy and pain control over the 12 weeks. Results and discussion – The results showed a statistically significant increase of these variables in the IAS group but not in the ISAS group, suggesting the efficacy of the self-suggestive intervention. This study represents an important contribution to the clinical practice with patients suffering from pain.
