“…A literatura é pouco clara e por vez contraditória no que respeita às variáveis associadas positiva e negativamente à saúde mental dos EES. A investigação indica que existe uma associação negativa entre a SM dos estudantes de ensino superior e o sexo feminino, o baixo nível socioeconómico (NSE) (Verger et al, 2009) e consumos de álcool e de substâncias psicoativas (Nemer, Fausto, Silva-Fonseca, Ciomei, & Quintaes, 2013). Por oposição, são referidas associações positivas com a prática regular de exercício físico (Kenari et al, 2014), o número de horas de sono dormidas (Lopes et al, 2013), e o NSE elevado (Verger et al, 2009).…”

RESUMOCONTEXTO: O nível de saúde mental (SM) in uência o bem-estar e o sucesso académico dos estudantes do ensino superior (Chow, 2010), contudo esta problemática tem sido pouco estudada em Portugal. A literatura existente é pouco clara e, por vezes, contraditória no que respeita às variáveis psicossociais associadas positiva e/ou negativamente à SM dos estudantes do ensino superior (Eisenberg, et al., 2009 ABSTRACT " e Mental Health of Higher Education Students: Relationship with gender, socioeconomic status and health behaviours"BACKGROUND: e level of mental health (MH) a ects the well-being and academic success of students of higher education (Chow, 2010). However, in Portugal, this issue has been rarely studied. e literature is unclear and sometimes contradictory regarding to positive and/or negatively associated psychosocial variables of higher education students (Eisenberg, et al., 2009). AIM: (1) To characterize the MH of higher education students; (2) To explore the relationship between MH and sociodemographic and health behaviors variables. METHODS: is is a descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study, and a non-probabilistic sample, composed of students of higher education in the District of Lisbon of the 1st and 2nd year enrolled in the 1st cycle of studies. Participants gave written informed consent and, voluntarily completed an online survey, which was sent to campus email during October and November 2014. To collect sociodemographic information, health behaviors and students' MH, were used a brief questionnaire and the Mental Health Inventory (ISM). RESULTS: Overall, the results indicate satisfactory levels of MH, both in the positive dimension -Psychological Well-Being and in the negative -Psychological Distress. However, 93 participants were found to have low MH level. Correlational analyzes show that women have lower levels of MH than men. Similarly, as the socioeconomic level increases, the levels of MH improve. e results, also, indicate that higher levels of MH are signi cantly associated with participants who exercise regularly and who sleep more than seven hours, during class period. In this sample, there were no signi cant associations between alcohol consumption and other drugs with students' MH. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the female gender and the low socioeconomic level are variables negatively associated with the MH of the participants. While regular practice of exercise and sleep seven or more hours per day were positively associated with MH.

“…This is alarming, as alcohol consumption can be associated with poorer academic performance; organic, social and behavioral problems (NEMER et al, 2013); the use of other drugs (KIRBY;BARRY, 2012;SANTOS;PEREIRA;SIQUEIRA, 2013); and possible harm to the exercise of their profession (SANTOS; PEREIRA; SIQUEIRA, 2013).…”

ABSTRACT:The present study aimed to evaluate the alcohol consumption profile and behaviors and consequences associated with this consumption among university students. This cross-sectional, observational, and predictive correlational study was conducted with students from a public university in Southeastern Brazil in different course periods (first-year, middle-year and last-year students). Socio-demographic data; prevalence of use of alcohol and other drugs in the previous 12 months and in the previous 30 days; information about academic behavior; information about the negative consequences resulting from alcohol use; risk behaviors; depressive symptoms; and symptoms of psychological distress were collected. The Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) was also used. Of all 1139 students, 91% used alcohol in their lifetime. Last-year students consumed alcohol more often than first-year students in their lifetime (93% vs 88%), in the previous 12 months (86% vs 78%) and in the previous 30 days (75% vs 66%). The prevalence of alcohol use with risk of dependence was similar among firs-year (31%), middle-year (25%) and last-year (25%) students; 84% of them did not consider this consumption to be harmful to health. The use of other drugs; the use of tobacco, marijuana or cocaine with risk of dependence; depression; psychological distress; risk behavior; and low interest in academic activities were more prevalent among students who consumed alcohol with risk of dependence, compared to those who consumed it without such risk. In conclusion, it was observed alarming frequencies and patterns of alcohol use among university students as well as negative consequences and risk behaviors associated with this consumption. Policies on alcohol use prevention should include students as soon as they enter university.

“…Esta conducta es relatada por diversos estudios que muestran el abuso del consumo de alcohol, drogas ilícitas y comportamientos de riesgo cuando conducen, además de la práctica sexual sin protección (17) . En el presente estudio, el dominio Comportamiento preventivo reveló que grande parte de los estudiantes desconocen la propia presión arterial, los niveles lipídicos y el uso abusivo del alcohol y del tabaco prevaleció entre los estudiantes de la jornada nocturna en comparación con los de la jornada diurna.…”

“…Un estudio realizado con 343 estudiantes en la Universidad Federal de Ouro Preto, comprobó que el 88,1% de los estudiantes informaron ingerir bebidas alcohólicas, el 44% bebían en exceso (ingestión de cinco o más dosis en una única ocasión) y de acuerdo con los autores, esta práctica puede influenciar el desempeño académico de esos estudiantes, así como provocar, en ellos, consecuencias orgánicas, sociales y comportamentales (17) . Conforme relatan Andrade et al (18) y Kerr-Corrêa et al 19 , el alcohol fue señalado como la substancia más utilizada por los estudiantes en investigaciones realizadas en universidades públicas del estado de São Paulo.…”

Introducción: El estilo de vida es un factor relacionado con el bienestar del individuo que altera su morbimortalidad. Objetivo: Analizar el estilo de vida de jóvenes que ingresaron al programa de odontología en 2015 y su asociación con factores sociodemográficos. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal con 114 estudiantes de primer año de odontología. Los datos se recolectaron con dos instrumentos: Perfil del Estilo de Vida Individual (PEVI) que evalúa: nutrición, actividad física, comportamiento preventivo, relacionamiento social y control del estrés; y un cuestionario validado que incluye: variables sociodemográficas, condición laboral y la salida de casa en razón del ingreso en la enseñanza superior. Se aplicaron pruebas estadísticas de razón de máxima verosimilitud y U de Mann-Withney, considerando una significancia α=0,05. Resultados: La mayoría de participantes fueron mujeres, con edad media de 20,06 (±2,65) y 18,96 (±1,78) años en los cursos nocturno y diurno, respectivamente. El 81,57%, salieron de casa para ingresar a la universidad y 7% realizaban una actividad remunerada. Presentaron un perfil de estilo de vida poco deseable en relación con la nutrición, actividad física y control de estrés; la nutrición se vio influenciada por el perfil socioeconómico (p=0,014). El consumo de alcohol-tabaco (p=0,017) y tiempo dedicado al descanso (p=0,018), fueron significativamente mayores en estudiantes de jornada nocturna. Conclusión: El estilo de vida de los jóvenes que ingresaron a odontología no era el deseable. Vivir lejos de los padres y la dependencia financiera de los estudiantes son factores que afectan su estilo de vida.
