Resumo: |
The objectives of this research were to 1. Understand the concept of lifestyle from the perspective of analytical psychology. 2. Verify which psychological aspects reflect the lifestyle of the women diagnosed with PCOS. For this research five women diagnosed with PCOS were interviewed. The criteria used for the PCOS diagnose was the Rotterdam 2003. The interviewees were patients from a dermatology specialist who has a private practice. The instruments used were a semi-structured interview and a lifestyle questionnaire (WHOQOL-bref). In the bibliographical research it was observed that the researches that deal with lifestyle changes related to PCOS patients omitted important questions which compromised their results. Prior researches have not defined conceptually what is understood by lifestyle. These researches are also at fault because they adopt a conception of lifestyle which is partial. They take into consideration that medicine has a specific perspective of the human being, which is to intervene in any aspect considered an obstacle or that interferes negatively in an individual s health. In these cases the emphasis is given to behavioral changes, being that the intervention occurs in two levels: changing dietary habits and introducing physical activity. However the introduction of new dietary habits does not take into consideration the psychological aspects involved. On the other hand the analyses that take into consideration the psyche, the psychological perspective used seems to be mechanized, as if it was a pill. Using the perspective of analytical psychology we propose to look at the lifestyle chosen by an individual as a personal resource. This is equivalent to a well adapted persona which is flexible and nourishes the individual, it does not massacre the ego restricting it to social expectations. The studied population, that received the PCOS diagnose directly or indirectly, saw in the diagnose a possibility of ending with their repetitious lifestyle. These women diagnosed with PCOS started to incorporate new habits, especially related to their eating and daily routine. However the changes brought by the diagnosis were not maintained because the values and beliefs that were attached to their lifestyle had still not changed. The choice for a specific lifestyle may be or may not be conscious. This choice may be influenced by the persona and by the shadow. When looking at this issue from an analytical psychological perspective it is observed that wanting to change one s lifestyle does not mean being able to change it. This occurs because the influence of the unconscious in our lives should be taken into consideration when we analyze how we put ourselves in the world. Therefore the difficulty of these women to maintain their lifestyle changes may have happened because their unconscious was not taken into consideration. These women who may be too attached to their professional persona, for example, forget about other aspects of their lives, and even about themselves, all this may compromise their health. As a consequence of not being able to look at themselves they are not aware that unconscious aspects may be influencing their behavior and choices. Therefore it is important that the researches of PCOS and lifestyle conceptualize the lifestyle. In this manner all the different aspects involved in the concept of the lifestyle will be taken in consideration and better results can be found. Our contribution is that any program which envisions to change a lifestyle must incorporate the psychological dimension. The comprehension of the psychological dimension of a lifestyle may be very helpful. The programs must take into consideration the psychological particularities of each participant: what are their values, beliefs, personalities, and how they see life. These characteristics will interfere positively or negatively in the lifestyle change results |
