Resumo
Um dos aspetos fundamentais para o diagnóstico de disfunções sexuais é o distress sexual, com base numa abordagem transdiagnóstica queremos compreender qual o papel que as dificuldades na regulação emocional têm no distress sexual, tendo como foco a componente mal adaptativa das emoções negativas e a dificuldade para lidar com as mesmas, de maneira a perceber qual a sua ligação com o distress sexual. O presente estudo é composto por uma amostra total de 339 participantes, que foram divididos em dois subgrupos: os participantes que "consideram ter problemas sexuais" (subgrupo 1) que é composta por 99 participantes, com uma média de idades de 38.35 anos, o outro subgrupo são os participantes que "não consideram ter problemas sexuais" e este é composto por 240 participantes, apresentando ainda uma média de idades de 35.88. Todos os participantes responderam a um questionário na plataforma Qualtrics, posteriormente os dados obtidos foram analisados através do SPSS. Em primeiro lugar foi efetuada uma análise de correlação de Pearson e posteriormente foram realizadas uma regressão linear e uma moderação. Os resultados obtidos indicam que em indivíduos que têm perceção de ter problemas sexuais existe uma associação forte entre as dificuldades de regulação emocional e o distress sexual, por outro lado, os que não têm essa perceção de problemas sexuais não apresentam essa associação
One of the fundamental aspects for the diagnosis of sexual dysfunctions is sexual distress, based on a transdiagnostic approach we want to understand the role that difficulties in emotional regulation have in sexual distress, focusing on the maladaptive component of negative emotions and the difficulty to deal with them, in order to understand their connection with sexual distress. The present study is composed of a total sample of 339 participants, who were divided into two subgroups: participants who “consider themselves to have sexual problems” (subgroup 1) which is composed of 99 participants, with an average age of 38.35 years, the another subgroup are participants who “do not consider themselves to have sexual problems” and this is made up of 240 participants, with an average age of 35.88. All participants responded to a questionnaire on the Qualtrics platform, and the data obtained was subsequently analyzed using SPSS. Firstly, a Pearson correlation analysis was carried out and subsequently a linear regression and moderation were carried out. The results obtained indicate that in individuals who perceive themselves to have sexual problems there is a strong association between emotional regulation difficulties and sexual distress, on the other hand, those who do not have this perception of sexual problems do not show this association.
