Resumen

Este estudo examinou a prevalência de 10 categorias de experiências adversas na infância autorrelatadas em mulheres adultas portuguesas, e avaliou se essas experiências eram preditoras do índice de sintomatologia depressiva e de tentativas de suicídio. Um total de 225 mulheres completou o Adverse Childhood Experiences Study Questionnaire e a subescala de depressão do Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos. Quase 96,0% das mulheres relatou ter sido exposta a pelo menos uma experiência adversa na infância e adolescência. Os resultados da regressão linear indicam que a adversidade total explica 6,6% da variância dos sintomas de depressão, enquanto a regressão logística mostra que o incremento de um ponto na adversidade total aumenta o risco de tentativas de suicídio em 1,818 vezes. Os resultados deste estudo mostram que a exposição a experiências adversas na infância é frequente e o seu grau é preditor de sintomatologia depressiva e tentativas de suicídio.
