Resumo
A saúde mental e o bem-estar dos estudantes no ensino superior são temas de crescente relevância, dada a pressão académica, desafios sociais e dificuldades financeiras frequentemente associadas a este período. Os estudantes enfrentam expectativas elevadas e a necessidade de manterem um desempenho de excelência, o que contribui para níveis significativos de stress e ansiedade. A transição para a vida universitária também pode resultar em isolamento social, especialmente para aqueles que se mudam para novos ambientes e precisam de adaptar novas rotinas, visto q ue estão num contexto geográfico e académico diferente. O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo compreender os ambientes de aprendizagem e os estilos de vida dos estudantes do ensino superior, incluindo os estudantes deslocados, que por opção ou por colocação estudam em cidades longe das suas casas. Este trabalho, enquadrado no estudo transversal "Ecossistemas dos Ambientes de Aprendizagem Saudáveis" (EA2S), visa alargar o conhecimento nesta área, com vista a uma futura intervenção mais eficaz nas necessidades dos estudantes. Este estudo incluiu 713 estudantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 35 anos, sendo os dados foram analisados através de estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais, utilizando o software SPSS. Os resultados evidenciaram uma correlação significativa entre a perceção dos ambientes de aprendizagem e o bem-estar dos estudantes. Variáveis como a liderança e o envolvimento institucional apresentaram associações positivas com o bem-estar, enquanto os riscos psicossociais e o stress tiveram um impacto negativo na saúde mental.
Mental health and well-being of students in college education are increasingly relevant topics, given the academic pressure, social challenges, and financial difficulties often associated with this period. Students face high expectations and a need to maintain excellent performance, which may increase the level to significant levels of stress and anxiety. The transition to university life can also lead to social isolation, especially for those who move to new environments and need to adapt to new routines in a different geographic and academic context. The main objective of this study is to understand the learning environments and lifestyles of college education students, including displaced students who, either by choice or due to placement, study in cities far from their homes. This work is part of the cross-sectional study "Healthy Learning Environments Ecosystems" (EA2S) and aims to expand the knowledge and enable more effective interventions to meet student needs. This study sample included 713 students, aged between 18 and 35 years, with data analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS software. The results revealed a significant correlation between the perception of learning environments and student well-being. Variables such as leadership and institutional involvement showed positive associations with well-being, while psychosocial risks and stress had a negative impact on mental health.
