Resumo
A Fibromialgia (FB) é uma doença crónica, com um profundo impacto na
qualidade da vida dos doentes e o presente estudo pretende explorar o papel da
autocompaixão e a sua relação com a sintomatologia psicopatológica e com a ruminação.
Esta investigação seguiu um desenho transversal e pretendeu estudar os sintomas
psicopatológicos, a ruminação e a autorresposta compassiva em mulheres com
fibromialgia, numa amostra de 109 mulheres, com idades compreendidas entre os 22 e os
69 anos de idade (M = 47.07, DP = 10.12). O protocolo de investigação foi constituído
pelos questionários Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Ruminative
Response Scale - Short version (RRS) e Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF).
Esperava-se que as duas dimensões da ruminação (brooding e reflection)
estivessem significativa e positivamente correlacionadas com a sintomatologia
psicopatológica (sendo expectável que a magnitude de associação fosse superior para o
brooding) e significativa e negativamente correlacionadas com a autorresposta
compassiva. Era igualmente expectável que a autorresposta compassiva moderasse a
relação entre as duas dimensões da ruminação e a sintomatologia psicopatológica, sendo
que se esperava que a moderação fosse significativa para níveis altos, médios e baixos de
ruminação.
Embora os estudos tenham repetidamente sugerido que a autocompaixão é um
fator protetor na dor crónica (DC) e que desempenha um papel promotor da redução da
intensidade da relação entre processos psicopatológicos e indicadores mal-adaptativos, é
possível interpretar a não moderação da autocompaixão no nosso estudo como resultante
da associação forte entre a ruminação e a sintomatologia psicopatológica. Verificou-se
que não foram encontrados resultados significativos de moderação, o que significa que
os nossos resultados não corroboraram nenhuma das hipóteses teórica e previamente
estabelecidas.

Fibromyalgia (FB) is a chronic disease with a profound impact on patients' quality of life and the present study aims to explore the role of self-compassion and its relationship with psychopathological symptoms and rumination. This investigation followed a cross-sectional design, and aimed to study psychopathological symptoms, rumination, and compassionate self-response in women with fibromyalgia, in a sample of 109 women, aged between 22 and 69 years old (M = 47.07, SD = 10.12). The investigation protocol consisted of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Ruminative Response Scale - Short version (RRS) and Self Compassion Scale (SCS-SF) questionnaires. In terms of hypotheses, it was expected that the two dimensions of rumination (brooding and reflection) were significantly and positively correlated with psychopathological symptomatology (with the magnitude of association expected to be higher for brooding), and negatively and significantly correlated with compassionate self response. Compassionate self-response was also expected to moderate the relationship between the two dimensions of rumination and psychopathological symptomatology, with moderation expected to be significant for high, medium, and low levels of rumination. Although studies have repeatedly suggested that self-compassion is a protective factor in chronic pain (CP), and that it plays a buffering role in the relationship between psychopathological processes and maladaptive indicators, it is possible to interpret the non-moderation of self-compassion in our study as a result of the strong association between rumination and psychopathological symptomatology. It was found that no significant moderation results were found, which means that our results did not corroborate any of the theoretical and previously established hypotheses. Keywords: rumination, fibromyalgia, self-compassion and psychopathological symptomatology
