Abstract(s)
Vários estudos têm ressaltado a importância que o comportamento humano desempenha para a saúde e Bem-estar. A entrada para o ensino superior acarreta várias mudanças no estilo de vida desempenhado pelos novos estudantes, levando a que estes, muitas vezes, adotem comportamentos de risco para a saúde e que descurem os comportamentos protetores de saúde. Dessa forma, o objetivo principal da presente investigação passou por analisar a existência de relação entre os comportamentos adotados pelos estudantes do ensino superior, o Bem-Estar e a Saúde Mental. A amostra foi constituída por 135 estudantes da Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão do Instituto Politécnico da Guarda, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 48 anos e composta por 67.4% participantes do género feminino. Como instrumentos de recolha de dados foram aplicados um Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS), a Escala de Manifestação de Bem-Estar Psicológico (EMMBEP) e o Questionário de Atitudes e Comportamentos de Saúde (QACS). Os resultados demonstraram que, em geral, os estudantes apresentam adequados comportamentos protetores de saúde, boa perceção de Bem-Estar Psicológico, boa qualidade ao nível do sono e baixa adoção de comportamentos de risco. No entanto, também se evidenciou presença de sintomatologia ansiosa na amostra geral.
