Resumo: | BACKGROUND: Substance use-related disorders are characterized by social problems, thought to be the result of social cognition impairments. In particular, the ability to interpret the thoughts of other people - Theory of Mind (ToM) - seems to be impaired. In view of this, this study aimed to investigate ToM functioning in a cocaine dependent (COD) sample. METHOD: This dissertation comprised four studies. The first is a systematic review of ToM in substance users. The second and the third deal with the development of instruments for the ToM assessment. The second is the translation and adaption of the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) into the Brazilian Portuguese, and the third describes the validation of the Hinting task and the ToM Stories task. The fourth work represents the main study of this dissertation the investigation of the ToM of COD women. 30 COD women and 30 healthy controls (HC) matched for sex, age, education, individual income and IQ took part in this study. All participants were assessed with the RMET, the Hinting Task and the ToM stories. Cognitive and clinical factors were also assessed in order to control for possible differences. RESULTS: The systematic review revealed that ToM deficits were present in substance use-related disorders. Besides that, the review indicated that these impairments were related to daily life and clinical features of substance use-related disorders. In addition, this dissertation advanced with regard the technological development, since it guaranteed a translated and adapted Brazilian version of the RMET. By the same token, in the third study the Hinting Task and the ToM Stories were shown to have convergent, predictive, concurrent, discriminative and diagnostic validity. Finally, in the fourth study, COD women were found to have impaired ToM in comparison with HC. Additionally, correlations indicated ToM was negatively associated with dependence chronicity. CONCLUSION: Results were consistent with the published literature, suggesting that COD like other drug dependence disorders, is associated with ToM deficits. In view of the results that suggested an association between ToM and social and clinical outcomes, we have proposed a framework in which there is a bidirectional, facilitative relationship between drug use and ToM impairments. The implications of the results for future research and potential interventions based on targeting the psychosocial problems found to be impaired in substance use disorders are discussed |

Acredita-se que a origem de tais comprometimentos se deva a d?ficits em fun??es da cogni??o social. Em particular, a Teoria da Mente (ToM) capacidade de inferir e interpretar os pensamentos de outras pessoas parece estar prejudicada em dependentes qu?micos. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a ToM em uma amostra de mulheres dependentes de coca?na. M?TODO: Esta disserta??o ? composta por quarto artigos. O primeiro ? uma revis?o sistem?tica sobre a ToM em usu?rios de drogas. O segundo e terceiro foram dedicados ao desenvolvimento de instrumentos para a avalia??o da ToM. O segundo ? a tradu??o e a adapta??o ao portugu?s brasileiro do Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), e o terceiro ? a valida??o do Hinting Task e do ToM Stories. O quarto trabalho representa o principal objetivo da disserta??o investigar a ToM de mulheres dependentes de coca?na. Participaram 30 mulheres com diagn?stico de depend?ncia de coca?na e 30 mulheres saud?veis, sendo os grupos pareados por sexo, idade, anos de estudo, renda e QI. Todas participantes responderam ao RMET, ao Hinting Task e ao ToM Stories. As participantes tamb?m foram avaliadas quanto ? sintomatologia psiqui?trica e ao desempenho neuropsicol?gico. RESULTADOS: A revis?o sistem?tica revelou que o uso de ?lcool e drogas ? relacionado a preju?zos na ToM, e que a ToM ? associada com aspectos do dia-a-dia e do curso da depend?ncia. No segundo estudo avan?ou-se no desenvolvimento tecnol?gico garantindo uma adequada vers?o traduzida e adaptada do RMET para o portugu?s brasileiro. Al?m disso, no terceiro artigo revelou-se as propriedades psicom?tricas do Hinting Task e do ToM Stories. Ambas tarefas demonstraram possuir validades convergente, preditiva, concorrente, discriminativa e diagn?stica. Por fim, o quarto estudo revelou que mulheres dependentes de coca?na obtiveram um desempenho significativamente inferior ao do grupo de mulheres saud?veis nas tarefas de ToM. A performance de ToM foi encontrada negativamente correlacionada com o n?vel de severidade da depend?ncia de coca?na. CONCLUS?ES: Os resultados indicam que mulheres dependentes de coca?na possuem desempenho inferior ao de mulheres saud?veis em tarefas de ToM. Tais achados s?o consistentes com os da literatura e corroboram com o fato da ToM estar relacionada com manifesta??es sintom?ticas da doen?a. Com base nos resultados, um modelo ilustrativo da participa??o bidirecional da ToM no curso da depend?ncia qu?mica foi proposto. O modelo sugere que por um lado, preju?zos na habilidade de inferir e interpretar os pensamentos de terceiros vulnerabilizam pessoas ao uso de subst?ncia, e, em contrapartida, o uso de subst?ncias causa eventos t?xicos ao c?rebro que acabam alterando circuitos neurobiol?gicos importantes para a integridade da ToM. As implica??es dos resultados e conclus?es desta disserta??o refor?am o potencial que interven??es que visem a promo??o de habilidades psicossociais possuem no tratamento de transtornos aditivosMade available in DSpace on 2015-04-14T13:22:18Z (GMT).
