Abstract(s)
The psychological well-being of higher education students is an important positive
correlate of personal development and academic success. Enter in a higher
education configures a period of multiple transitions that create stress and a
demanding adjustment. In Portugal little is known about predictive relationships
between biopsychosocial variables and psychological well-being in higher
education students. Identifying predictors of psychological well-being is relevant
to identify variables with positive influence in the academic context.
Objective. To identify predictors of psychological well-being in Higher Education
Students.
Methodology. Using an exploratory, transversal and correlational study in a nonprobabilistic
560-sample Students (446 women; an average of 19.6 years) from
the 1st and 2nd year, of the Lisbon District. Participants’ informed consent was
obtained, and data analysis was quantitative, using descriptive and inferential
statistical analysis techniques. An online self-report questionnaire covering
variables and measures: demographic and relational; academic; health behaviors;
Mental Health Inventory; Satisfaction with Social Support Scale; and Satisfaction
with Academic Life Scale were used.
Results indicate that the male students, dating, good academic performance,
exercise/sport, sleep seven hours, satisfaction with social support and satisfaction
with academic life are significant predictors (p< .05) of psychological well-being,
the last two with strong preponderance.
Conclusions point at the relevance of the predictors of psychological well-being
identified, that appear to be robust protective factors for higher education
student’s mental health.
Clinical Relevance: Protective factors should be considered to complement
prior information to assist mental health nurses and educators to design specific
welfare promotion programs, to increase the potential of mental health and
academic success.
