Abstract(s)
Introdução: A Saúde Mental Positiva é definida como a saúde mental de pessoas saudáveis, com intuito de otimizar o seu bem-estar. O ingresso no Ensino Superior, constitui um marco importante na vida de qualquer estudante, pressupõe uma série de transições e adaptações, acompanhadas de desafios e exigências que podem afetar o bem-estar e desempenho académico. Para além das adaptações ao Ensino Superior, os estudantes de Enfermagem enfrentam ainda mais desafios, associados à génese do curso, sendo disso exemplo as práticas clínicas em contextos reais de aprendizagem. Assim, partiu-se para o seguinte estudo.
Objetivo Geral: Avaliar a relação entre a Saúde Mental Positiva (SM+) e as Perceções Académicas – Expetativas (PA-Exp) dos estudantes do Curso de Licenciatura em Enfermagem.
Metodologia: Estudo transversal, descrito-correlacional, com uma amostra não probabilística acidental de 127 Estudantes de Enfermagem de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Portuguesa. A colheita de dados ocorreu entre abril e maio de 2024, através de um questionário online: dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, Questionário de SM+ (α=0,930) e Questionário de PA-Exp (α=0,950). O tratamento e análise de dados foi realizado através do Software SPSS® versão 29, utilizando estatística descritiva e inferencial. O estudo obteve o parecer favorável da comissão de ética.
Resultados: A amostra foi predominantemente feminina, com 77,20%, com idade compreendidas entre 18 e 23 anos (71,65%), e 75,6% está inscrito na 1ª opção de curso/ instituição. Cerca de 22,80% dos estudantes já recebeu um diagnóstico de saúde mental, e 43,30% já teve acompanhamento. Os estudantes apresentam elevados níveis de SM+ global (121,14+16,77) e diferenças estaticamente significativas (p≤0,05) nas variáveis: ano de matrícula, deslocado da residência, acompanhamento profissional e consumo de substâncias. Os participantes apresentaram um média global de 36,00+4,53 no Questionário de PA-Exp, com diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p≤0,05) nas variáveis: idade e colocado 1ª opção. Observou-se correlação positiva fraca, estatisticamente significativa entre os totais globais do Questionário de SM+ e Questionário de PA-Exp (rho=0,197; p ≤ 0,05).
Conclusão: Os estudantes de enfermagem com níveis mais elevados de SM+ tendem a apresentar PA-Exp mais positivas. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de intervenções focadas tanto na promoção da SM+ como nas PA-Exp dos estudantes de Enfermagem.
Background: Positive Mental Health is defined as the mental health of healthy people, with the intention of optimising their well-being. Admission to higher education is an important milestone in any student's life and involves a series of transitions and adaptations, accompanied by challenges and demands that can affect well-being and academic performance. In addition to adapting to higher education, nursing students face even more challenges associated with the genesis of the course, such as clinical practice in real learning contexts. The following study was therefore undertaken. Aim: To assess the association between Positive Mental Health (PMH) and Academic Perceptions - Expectations (AP-Exp) among undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study with a non-probabilistic accidental sample of 127 Nursing students from a Portuguese Higher Education Institution. The data was collected between April and May 2024 through an online questionnaire: sociodemographic and clinical data, Questionnaire PMH (α=0.930) and PA-Exp Questionnaire (α=0,950). The data was processed and analysed using SPSS® version 29 software, using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study obtained approval from the Ethics Committee. Results: The sample was predominantly female, 77.20%, aged between 18 and 23 (71.65%), and 75.6% enrolled in their 1st choice of degree /institution. Around 22.80 per cent of the students had already received a mental health diagnosis, and 43.30 per cent had been counselled. The students had high levels of global PMH (121.14+16.77) and statistically significant differences (p≤0.05) in the variables: year of degree, displaced from home, professional counselling and substance use. The participants had an overall average of 36.00+4.53 on the PA-Exp Questionnaire, with statistically significant differences (p≤0.05) in the variables: age and 1st choice placement. There was a weak, statistically significant positive correlation between the overall totals of the MH+ Questionnaire and the PA-Exp Questionnaire (rho=0.197; p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing students with higher levels of PMS tend to have more positive PA-Exp. The results indicate the need for interventions focussed both on promoting PMH and on the PA-Exp of nursing students.
