Resumo
O consumo de substâncias está relacionado com a deterioração das funções cognitivas,
sendo que, a maior parte dos estudos realizados nesta área incidem sobretudo no sexo
masculino e quando incluído o sexo feminino, os dados não apresentam desagregação por
sexo.
O objetivo principal deste estudo é descrever o perfil neuropsicológico de mulheres
com consumos de substâncias, sendo que, será também comparado o funcionamento
cognitivo destas com mulheres sem consumos e homens com consumos de substâncias.
A amostra foi constituída por 45 participantes, divididos em três grupos: 15 mulheres
com consumos de substâncias, 15 homens com consumos de substâncias e 15 mulheres sem
consumos. Foi aplicada, individualmente, uma bateria de testes que avaliaram as diferentes
áreas cognitivas e funções executivas, em duas sessões com um iato temporal de uma semana.
Os resultados demonstram que as mulheres com consumos de substâncias revelam
défices cognitivos significativos comparativamente às mulheres sem consumos. Não obstante,
quando comparadas com os homens com consumos de substâncias, revelam défices nas
mesmas funções cognitivas, embora, com menos anos de consumos. Conclui-se então que, o
sexo feminino é mais vulnerável aos efeitos tóxicos das substâncias.
The consumption of substances is connected to the deterioration of the cognitive areas and executive functions, and the majority of the studies carried out in the area were done with the male sex. In other hand when the studies included the female sex, the data were not disaggregated by sex, being difficult to deduce their behaviours. The focus of this study is to describe and understand the neuropsychological profile in women with use of substances. Otherwise, we’ll be comparing the cognitive behaviour of that women, with women without consumption, and men with use of substances. The sample was constituted by 45 participants, divided into three groups: 15 women with substances consumption, 15 men with consumption, and 15 women without consumption. Individually, a battery of tests was applied in two sessions with a temporal distance of one week, allowing the evaluation the different cognitive areas and executive functions. The results show that women with substance consumption revealed significant cognitive deficits compared to women without consumptions. However, when compared with men with substance use, they show deficits in the same cognitive areas and executive functions, despite they have less years of consumption. It is concluded that the female sex is more vulnerable to the toxic effects of the substances.
