Abstract(s)
A saúde sexual constitui-se como parte integrante do bem-estar geral e psicológico dos indivíduos. A satisfação e o prazer sexual, em particular, têm sido associados a diversos indicadores de saúde psicológica, nomeadamente à ansiedade, depressão e stress. O presente estudo versa-se na investigação na relação dessas variáveis nos estudantes do ensino superior, uma vez que se configura como um grupo frequentemente exposto a diversos desafios. O objetivo deste estudo visa a compreensão da saúde sexual, a satisfação e o prazer sexual com a saúde psicológica de estudantes do ensino superior. Especificamente, procura-se avaliar de que forma essas variáveis impactam os sintomas de ansiedade, depressão e stress. A amostra constitui um total de 254 estudantes do ensino superior público e privado, tendo sido utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: Questionário sobre Saúde Sexual e Comportamentos Sexuais, Escala de Prazer Sexual, Escala de Sensações Sexuais, Nova Escala de Satisfação Sexual, Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress. Os resultados demonstraram uma correlação significativa entre níveis mais elevados de satisfação e prazer sexual com uma menor prevalência de sintomas de ansiedade, depressão e stress. Também foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre grupos de idade e sexo no que diz respeito à saúde sexual e psicológica. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam a importância de abordar a saúde sexual e a satisfação sexual no contexto da saúde psicológica dos estudantes do ensino superior, através de intervenções direcionadas para esse âmbito.
