Resumo
O ensino superior é num primeiro momento marcado por muitas expetativas mas é também um longo percurso onde podem surgir situações problemáticas, diferentes consoante as etapas.
O objetivo principal deste estudo foi o de compreender de que modo a ansiedade aos exames, por parte dos estudantes universitários, pode ser estudada, tendo em conta o stresse académico, as estratégias de coping e a satisfação académica.
A amostra foi constituída por 187 estudantes da Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, sendo a média de idades 24,0 anos (DP=7,56) para o sexo feminino e de 25,2 anos (DP=8,00) para o sexo masculino.
Procedeu-se a uma caraterização sociodemográfica da amostra e recorreu-se à aplicação de quatro instrumentos: o Student Stress Inventory, SSI (Dobson e Metcalfe, 1983), o Reactions to Tests, RTT (Irwin G. Sarason, 1984), o Brief Cope, COPE (J. L. Pais Ribeiro e A. P. Rodrigues, 2004) e o Questionário de Satisfação Académica, QSA (Soares e Almeida, 2001).
Conclui-se que ao nível do stresse académico, na variável exigências da vida académica as mulheres apresentam valores mais elevados do que os homens. Na incerteza face ao futuro, pressões avaliativas e pressões parentais não se verificaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas. A ansiedade aos exames mostrou-se correlacionada com o stresse académico, com algumas estratégias de coping e de forma negativa com a satisfação académica.
