Abstract

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a influência do sentido de vida, suporte social, ansiedade e depressão na perceção de qualidade de vida de pessoas com Esclerose Múltipla (EM). A amostra, constituída por 30 indivíduos com diagnóstico médico confirmado de EM, sendo 56.7% mulheres, e com uma média de idade de 48.17 anos, respondeu aos seguintes instrumentos: questionário sociodemográfico, Escala de Sentido de Vida, Escala de Suporte Social, HADS e WHOQOL-Bref. Efetuaram-se modelos de regressão para analisar os determinantes dos vários domínios da qualidade de vida, tendo-se observado os seguintes determinantes: para a faceta Geral da Qualidade de Vida e para o domínio de Relações Sociais, a Depressão; para o domínio Físico, a Depressão e Subdiagnóstico de EM; para os domínios Psicológico e Ambiente da Qualidade de Vida observou-se um efeito significativo do Sentido de Vida e da Ansiedade. Este estudo aponta para a relevância da intervenção psicológica na melhoria da qualidade de vida na EM e, designadamente, para a importância da diminuição da sintomatologia ansiosa e depressiva e redescoberta do sentido de vida.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Depression has been observed to be the strongest predictor of QoL in several studies.

    “Depression has been observed to be the strongest predictor in several studies [4,8,10,11,17,20,24,25,26].”

    From Biopsychosocial Correlates of Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis Patients (2022) · cites this paper as [26]

    The Results section (page unavailable) finds depression to be the only significant predictor of general quality of life and social relationships in this study of people with multiple sclerosis. It does not establish that depression is the strongest predictor of quality of life overall or across several studies: diagnostic subtype contributed more to the physical domain, and other variables predicted the psychological domain. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • There is evidence that various QoL domains show increased values with increased meaning in life in MS.

    “The literature on meaning in life and MS is not abundant, but there is evidence that various QoL domains show increased values with increased meaning in life, suggesting that this variable may foster adaptation to the disease [24,26].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
