RESUMO

The objective of this study was to investigate the sexual activity of patients submitted to the surgery of valvopathy and understand the emotional repercussions of these two events. For its realization were invited hospital staff and patients from the hospitals Instituto do Coração do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo, and Hospital Cirurgia in Aracaju, both located in Brazil. The research sample consisted of 35 citizens of both gender who are affected by a valvopathy, between 20 and 45 years, that had been submitted only to a one surgery of correction of this disease, literate and that they have not presented some sexual dysfunction before the surgery. It also held a control group with 35 employees belonging to the hospitals cited and that until the completion of the research were not carriers of chronic diseases. The participants had answered questions about sexual activity and also created four stories from the presentation of the images contained in plates 4, 10, 13HF and 16 of the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). The research results had pointed, in the comparison between groups, a statistically significant (p <0.05) presence, in the group of patients, of the anxiety as a negative interference for the sexual performance, and the presence of sexual fears such as not be accepted by the partner, not be excited about the partner, and not sexually satisfy your partner. This group also affirmed that it had changes in its familiar, social and love relationships after the surgery. The TAT pointed a greater intensity of emotional needs to plan and maintain a sexual activity, support and membership in the group of patients. It is suggested that in further studies the partner should be included in the sample to be investigated, since their responses can complement the findings of the study and also includes interviews at other times as the pre-surgical, which must contribute to a better interpretation and analysis of the situation-problem
