Abstract(s)
Introdução: A adolescência é uma fase da vida humana compreendida entre os 10 e os 19 anos,
em que os indivíduos passam por um conjunto de mudanças físicas e psicológicas. O contexto social
e ambiental em que a pessoa cresce pode ter influência na construção da personalidade e nas atitudes que apresenta nas diversas situações da vida. Perante um mundo globalizado, em que a exposição a diferentes redes sociais é cada vez maior, e começa numa fase precoce da vida, com a preocupação também crescente em relação à saúde mental, é de extrema importância entender se existe
uma relação entre estes elementos em questão. Sendo a adolescência um período de idades mais
suscetível a alterações emocionais, e com o envolvimento e o tempo passado cada vez mais pelos
adolescentes nas redes sociais, é cada vez mais importante entender o seu impacto na saúde mental
destes, nomeadamente a ansiedade.
Objetivo: Através de uma revisão narrativa da literatura pretende-se verificar se existe uma relação entre a exposição às redes sociais e a ansiedade na adolescência.
Métodos: Recorrendo aos motores de busca b-on e Pubmed e através de uma equação de pesquisa
baseada nas palavras-chave “adolescents”, “social media”, “anxiety”, foram selecionados 23 trabalhos após uma aplicação de critérios de inclusão e de exclusão específicos.
Resultados: Foram estudados alguns dos temas mais prevalentes, e divididos nas categorias “Utilização de Redes Sociais e Era Digital”, “Smartphones e Ansiedade”, “Ansiedade sobre a Aparência
e Ansiedade Social”, “Uso Problemático e Adição às Redes Sociais”, “Aspetos Positivos das Redes
Sociais” e “Experiências Negativas nas Redes Rociais”.
Conclusão: A maioria dos estudos concluiu que o uso de redes sociais se associou a ansiedade nos
adolescentes. Assim, é relevante a realização de mais estudos para estabelecer uma melhor associação de causalidade entre estes dois fatores, e em que sentido se pode atuar para prevenir o agravamento da saúde mental nos adolescentes.
Introduction: Adolescence includes the ages between 10 and 19 years old, in which the individuals go through a set of physical and psychological changes. The social and environmental context that sorrounds someone while growing up can influence the construction of their personality and the way they face different situations of life. Faced with a globalized world, in which exposure to different social media is increasing, and begins at an early stage of life, with growing concerns regarding mental health, it is extremely important to understand whether there is a relationship between these elements in question. As adolescence is a period of life that is more susceptible to emotional changes, and with the increasing involvement and time spent by teenagers on social media, it is increasingly important to understand its impact on their mental health, particularly anxiety. Objective: Through a narrative review of the literature, there is an aim to verify whether there is a relationship between exposure to social networks and anxiety in adolescence. Methods: By using the search engines b-on and PubMed and the keywords “adolescents", “social media”, “anxiety”, 23 articles were selected after applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Some of the most prevalent themes were studied, and divided into the categories “Use of Social Media and the Digital Age”, “Smartphones and Anxiety”, “Anxiety about Appearance and Social Anxiety”, “Problematic Use and Addiction to Social Media”, “Positive Aspects of Social Media” and “Negative Experiences on Social Media”. Conclusion: Most of the studies concluded that the use of social media was associated with anxiety in adolescents. Therefore, it is important to carry out more future studies to establish a better causal association between these two factors, and what is the way for us to prevent the worsening of mental health in adolescents.
