Resumo
O ensino superior e a adaptação académica requerem que os jovens se confrontem com múltiplas e complexas tarefas e as resolvam de uma forma mais ou menos bem sucedida. Esta nova fase da trajetória de vida apresenta-se como um desafio, podendo este impactar ao nível da saúde mental e do bem-estar dos estudantes. Neste âmbito apresenta- -se um estudo cujo objetivo é caracterizar e analisar a relação entre os níveis de saúde mental/bem-estar e saúde mental/psicopatologia e a perceção das experiências académicas em estudantes universitários. Participaram 234 estudantes portugueses com idades entre os 17 e os 56, com uma média de 23.71 e desvio-padrão 5.508. Desses estudantes, 178 eram do sexo feminino e 56 do sexo masculino. Os dados foram recolhidos utilizando um Questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala Continuum de Saúde Mental-Versão Reduzida (Adultos) (MHC-SF), a Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress (EADS-21) e o Questionário de Vivências Académicas (QVA-r). Os resultados obtidos indicam que, globalmente, uma maior percepção e satisfação com a vida académica, se associa a melhores níveis de saúde mental e bem-estar, indicando que, os desafios enfrentados pelos estudantes, nos domínios pessoal, social, académico, institucional e vocacional, são variáveis relevantes para o seu processo de ajustamento, favorecendo assim os seus níveis de saúde mental e bem-estar.
Higher education and academic adaptation require young people to confront themselves with multiple and complex tasks and to solve them in a more or less successful way. This new phase of life trajectory presents itself as a challenge, which may impact on the level of mental health and the well-being of the students. A study is presented with the objective to characterize and analyze the relationship between levels of mental health / well-being and mental health / psychopathology and the perception of academic experiences in university students. A total of 234 Portuguese students aged 17 to 56 participated, with a mean of 23.71 and a standard deviation of 5,508. Of these students, 178 were female and 56 were male. Data were collected using a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Mental Health Continuum - Short-Form (MHC-SF), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Academic Experience Questionnaire. The results indicate that, overall, greater perception and satisfaction with academic life, is associated with better levels of mental health and well-being, indicating that the challenges faced by students in the personal, social, academic, institutional and vocational skills, are variables that are relevant to their adjustment process, thus favoring their levels of mental health and well-being.
