Resumo
O Distress Sexual é fundamental para o diagnóstico de disfunções sexuais. Este estudo vem contribuir para a perceção dos efeitos dos Pensamentos Negativos Repetitivos no Distress Sexual, focando-se na componente mal adaptativa da preocupação e ruminação, de forma a perceber se os Pensamentos Negativos Repetitivos estão associados ao Distress Sexual. Utiliza-se uma amostra total de 173 participantes, que foi dividida em duas subamostras: com perceção de problemas sexuais (Subamostra 1), composta por 41 participantes, com uma média de idades de 41.46 anos, e com relações amorosas em média com 10.5 anos, e sem perceção de problemas sexuais (Subamostra 2), composta por 132 participantes com média de idades de 43.15 anos, e com relações amorosas em média com 8.22 anos. Os participantes responderam a um questionário na plataforma Qualtrics, e os dados obtidos foram analisados através do SPSS. Primeiramente, foi realizada análise de correlação de Pearson, e de seguida foram realizadas uma regressão linear. Os resultados indicam que em quem tem perceção de problemas sexuais existe uma elevada associação entre os Pensamentos Negativos Repetitivos e o Distress Sexual, enquanto para quem não tem perceção de problemas sexuais não se encontrou essa associação. Estes resultados indicam que a utilização da abordagem transdiagnóstica para intervir no Distress Sexual pode ser adequada, sustentando empiricamente o desenvolvimento de estudos futuros com este enquadramento teórico.

Sexual distress is fundamental for the diagnosis of sexual dysfunctions. This study contributes to the perception of the effects of Repetitive Negative Thoughts on Sexual Distress, focusing on the maladaptive component of worry and rumination, that is, Negative Repetitive Thoughts, and understanding whether these are associated with Sexual Distress. A total sample of 173 participants is used, which was divided into two subsamples: with perceived sexual problems (Subsample 1) composed of 41 participants, with an average age of 41.46 years, and with romantic relationships with an average of 10.5 years, and without perception of sexual problems (Subsample 2), composed of 132 participants with a mean age of 43.15 years, and with a love relationship with a mean of 8.22 years. Participants answered a questionnaire on the Qualtrics platform, and the data obtained were analyzed using SPSS. First, Pearson's correlation analysis was performed, followed by linear regression. The results indicate that in those who perceive sexual problems there is a high association between Repetitive Negative Thoughts and Sexual Distress, while for those who do not perceive sexual problems this association was not found. These results indicate that the use of the transdiagnostic approach to intervene in sexual distress may be adequate, empirically supporting the development of future studies with this theoretical framework. Keywords: Sexual Distress; Repetitive Negative Thoughts; transdiagnostic approach
