Abstract(s)
Introduction: 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.
