          Abstract

          A asma brônquica é uma doença complexa e interfere com a qualidade de vida desses doentes. Pretendemos, com a presente investigação, estudar a relação das variáveis sócio-demográficas (género, idade e grau de instrução), clínicas (gravidade da doença, duração e tipo clínico) e psicológicas (cognições, emoções e comportamentos) com a qualidade de vida do doente asmático. Cinqüenta doentes asmáticos do Departamento de Pneumologia e Imunoalergologia dos Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra preencheram cinco questionários de auto-resposta que avaliavam as variáveis psicológicas em estudo. Os dados clínicos relativamente à doença foram igualmente recolhidos.Os nossos resultados revelam-nos que a qualidade de vida se relaciona com um conjunto de variáveis que podemos denominar biopsicossociais (e.g., uma menor qualidade de vida relaciona-se com uma maior idade, menor escolaridade, uma atitude mais negativa face à asma, designada "estigma", cognições disfuncionais e comportamentos/emoções-problema relacionados com a asma). Implicações ao nível do tratamento são apresentadas.

          Translated abstract

          Bronchial asthma is a complex disease and it brings limitations to patients' quality of life. In this research we intend to study the relationship of sociodemographic (gender, age and educational level), medical (severity of the disease, duration and clinical type) and psychological variables (cognitions, emotions and behaviour) with patients' quality of life. Fifty asthmatic patients from the Department of Pulmonary Medicine and Immunoallergic diseases of Coimbra's University Hospitals completed five self-report questionnaires that measured the psychological variables under study. Medical data were also collected. Our results suggest that quality of life is related to a set of variables that can be named as biopsychosocial (e.g., a poor quality of life is related to a higher age, lower level of education, a more negative attitude towards asthma, named "stigma", disfunctional cognitions and behavioural/emotional problems associated to asthma). Implications in relation with the treatment are also presented.
