Resumo
As estratégias de coping e os mecanismos de defesa são cruciais na formação das respostas humanas ao stress e à adversidade, impactando o bem-estar mental. O coping disfuncional, caracterizado por estratégias ineficazes, frequentemente leva a resultados negativos na saúde mental. Da mesma forma, embora os mecanismos de defesa proporcionem alívio psicológico imediato, o uso excessivo ou desadaptativo pode dificultar o crescimento pessoal e a resolução eficaz de problemas. Este estudo investiga as relações entre o coping disfuncional, os mecanismos de defesa e sua influência no bem-estar psicológico, distress e sintomatologia. Foram recolhidos dados de uma amostra de 89 participantes. Os resultados revelaram associações significativas entre o coping disfuncional, mecanismos de defesa, distress psicológico e sintomatologia. O coping disfuncional e o distress psicológico também relevaram ser preditores da manifestação de sintomas. Estes resultados corroboram a importância de promover estratégias de coping adaptativas e mecanismos de defesa mais saudáveis para melhorar o bem-estar mental.
Coping strategies and defense mechanisms are crucial in shaping human responses to stress and adversity, impacting mental well-being. Dysfunctional coping, characterized by ineffective strategies, often leads to negative mental health outcomes. Similarly, while defense mechanisms provide immediate psychological relief, excessive or maladaptive use can hinder personal growth and effective problem-solving. This study investigates the relationships between dysfunctional coping, defense mechanisms, and their influence on psychological well being, distress, and symptomatology. Data were collected from a sample of 89 participants. The results revealed significant associations between dysfunctional coping, defense mechanisms, psychological distress, and symptomatology. Dysfunctional coping and psychological distress were also found to be predictors of symptom manifestation. These findings highlight the importance of promoting adaptive coping strategies and healthier defense mechanisms to improve mental well-being. Key words: Dysfunctional coping, Defense mechanisms, Well-being, Psychological distress, Symptomatology
