- Sentimentos de tristeza e desesperança em jovens portuguesesPublication . Millions, Rejane Medeiros; Fernandes, Ilda; Andrade, Luísa; Graça, Luís; Martins, MM; Rolim, KarlaIntroduction: Sadness as a basic of the human being emotion. It can be associated with the intrinsic of the younger’s characteristics and their context. It may manifest as discouragement, unwillingness to perform routine and social activities, low self-esteem or aloneness. Hopelessness arises when there is no sight of possibilities, confidence in others or future, enthusiasm for life being. That can inhibit the set goals and energy mobilization. These feelings may be signs of more complex problems, such as depressive disorders when associated with loss of interest or pleasure, changes in appetite, sleep and concentration and suicidal ideation thoughts. Aims: To identify the sadness and hopelessness feelings perceived by the younger´s and the associations between these feelings and demographic, educational and family characteristics. Method: Descriptive correlational study with 1377 Portuguese younger´s, which go into high school, aged 14-21 years, average age 17 years and mostly female. Was used the survey “Comportamentos de saúde, comportamentos de risco e envolvimento dos jovens com a escola e a família” Results: Sadness and hopelessness were not noticed by most younger´s. However, there is a higher risk in younger’s with negative school performance, who relate good relationship with colleagues, have never felt threatened by their colleagues, when they become involved with school and family and even if they are perceived the family as functional. Conclusions: Health professionals should identify early, value feelings of sadness and hopelessness in younger´s and have a transdisciplinary and inclusive practice in health education, in school and family contexts.
