Introdução: Nos Ășltimos anos as redes sociais tĂȘm ganho cada vez mais popularidade
mundial e adquirido um papel importante no dia-a-dia das pessoas. Existem vĂĄrias
plataformas, mas de um modo global estas permitem uma constante comunicação, criação
de relaçÔes e partilha de conteĂșdo e ideias a qualquer hora e com pessoas de qualquer parte
do mundo. Os adolescentes e os jovens constituem a geração que mais utiliza as redes sociais
no dia-a-dia. No entanto, pouco Ă© ainda falado sobre o impacto que as redes sociais tĂȘm
efetivamente nesta faixa etĂĄria. Sendo a adolescĂȘncia um perĂodo fulcral de
desenvolvimento fĂsico, cognitivo e psicossocial, torna-se necessĂĄrio deste modo, avaliar
que consequĂȘncias Ă© que o uso destas ferramentas pode ter na saĂșde e bem-estar dos
adolescentes.
Objetivo: A saĂșde mental Ă© atualmente um dos temas mais discutidos na sociedade e afeta
muitos adolescentes, pelo que a identificação de medidas preventivas revela ser essencial.
Por este motivo e por se tratar de um assunto recente e pouco abordado, a presente
dissertação constitui uma revisão alargada de literatura acerca dos efeitos negativos mais
comuns que surgem com o uso das redes sociais na adolescĂȘncia. .
Métodos: Recorrendo aos motores de busca PubMed e b-on e através das palavras-chave
âsocial networkingâ, âmental healthâ e âadolescenceâ, foram selecionados 29 trabalhos
apĂłs uma aplicação de critĂ©rios de inclusĂŁo e exclusĂŁo especĂficos. .
Resultados: Foram estudados os cinco temas mais prevalentes como âDepressĂŁo,
Ansiedade, SuicĂdio e Comportamentos Autolesivosâ, âCyberbullyingâ, âSonoâ,
âAutoestima e Autoimagemâ e âComportamento Aditivo Ă s Redes Sociaisâ.
ConclusĂŁo: Apesar de terem sido encontrados poucos estudos relativos aos adolescentes,
a maioria apresentou conclusÔes semelhantes, ou seja, reportavam uma associação entre o
uso de redes sociais e a presença de algum indicador de mal-estar psicológico nas cinco
temĂĄticas estudadas. Deste modo, considero fulcral que se realizem mais estudos no futuro
de forma a conseguirmos entender melhor as consequĂȘncias que as redes sociais podem ter
na adolescĂȘncia e fases seguintes da vida.
Introduction: In the last years, social networks have gained increasing popularity worldwide and have acquired an important role in people's daily lives. There are several social networking sites, but globally these allow for constant communication, relationships and share of content and ideas at any time and with people from anywhere in the world. Adolescents and young people are the generation that most uses social networks on a daily basis. However, little is still said about the impact that social networks have in this age group. Since adolescence is a crucial period of physical, cognitive and psychosocial development, it is therefore necessary to assess consequences of these tools on adolescentsâ health and well-being. . Objective: Mental health is currently one of the most discussed topics in society and affects many adolescents, which is why identifying preventive measures is essential. For this reason and because it is a recent and little discussed topic, the present dissertation constitutes an extensive literature review about the most common negative effects that arise with the use of social networks in adolescence. . Methods: By using the search engines PubMed and b-on and the keywords "social networking", "mental health" and "adolescence", 29 articles were selected after applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. . Results: The five most prevalent themes were studied, such as "Depression, Anxiety, Suicide and Self-injurious Behaviors", "Cyberbullying", "Sleep", "Self-esteem and Selfimage" and "Addictive Behavior to Social Networking Sites". . Conclusion: Although few studies related to adolescents were found, most presented similar conclusions, that is, they reported an association between the use of social networking sites and the presence of some indicator of psychological malaise in the five themes studied. Therefore, I think it is crucial that more studies should be done in the future in order to better understand the consequences that social networking sites can have in adolescence and following stages of life.
