Abstract(s)
Introdução: A saúde mental tem sido uma temática que vem ganhando destaque ao longo dos anos, e isto porque muito se fala sobre as perturbações psicológicas na atualidade em diferentes contextos, principalmente no ensino superior com o ingresso de novos estudantes em um ambiente novo e desafiador. Devido a esta crescente relevância, o atual projeto de investigação teve como objetivo avaliar os níveis de psicopatologia e de bem-estar nos estudantes do ensino superior, bem como entender qual a relação entre o bem-estar destes estudantes e os sintomas psicopatológicos e as estratégias de regulação emocional adotadas pelos mesmos. Métodos: O estudo contou com a colaboração de estudantes de diferentes regiões de Portugal que estavam inscritos no Ensino Superior, em cursos variados, e que tinham no mínimo 18 anos. Os alunos responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico, bem como às escalas EADS-21 na versão adaptada para a população portuguesa por Pais-Ribeiro e colaboradores (2004), BERQ na versão adaptada para a população portuguesa por Guedes e colaboradores (2022) e o EMMBEP na versão adaptada para a população portuguesa por Monteiro e colaboradores (2012). Resultados: Foram encontrados baixos níveis de ansiedade, depressão e stress nos alunos, assim como foi possível averiguar indicadores positivos de bem-estar na amostra. Destacamos também uma associação positiva entre bem-estar e estratégias de regulação emocional e uma correlação negativa entre sintomas psicopatológicos e o bem-estar. Posto isso, identificamos que a psicopatologia e as estratégias de regulação emocional mostraram no presente estudo ter uma capacidade explicativa significativa sobre o bem-estar psicológico dos estudantes.
Introduction: Mental health has been a topic gaining prominence over the years, due to the increasing attention given to psychological disorders in various contexts, particularly in higher education, as new students enter a novel and challenging environment. Given this growing relevance, the present research project aimed to assess the levels of psychopathology and wellbeing among university students, as well as to understand the relationship between their wellbeing, psychopathological symptoms, and the emotional regulation strategies they adopt. Methods: The study involved the collaboration of students from various regions of Portugal who were enrolled in higher education programs across different fields of study and were at least 18 years old. The participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, as well as the following scales: EADS-21, adapted for the Portuguese population by Pais-Ribeiro et al. (2004); BERQ, adapted by Guedes et al. (2022); and EMMBEP, adapted by Monteiro et al. (2012). Results: Low levels of anxiety, depression, and stress were found among the students, along with positive indicators of well-being within the sample. Additionally, a positive association was observed between well-being and emotional regulation strategies, and a negative correlation was identified between psychopathological symptoms and well-being. Thus, we found that psychopathology and emotional regulation strategies demonstrated a significant explanatory capacity for the psychological well-being of the students in this study.
