Common mental disorders and assoCiated faCtors among final-year healthCare students rev assoC med Bras 2014; 60 (6) Conflict of interest: noneObjective: to assess the prevalence of common mental disorder (CMD) and to identify potential associated factors among medical, dental and nursing students. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted in a public university in Northeast Brazil with 172 undergraduate students of the last three semesters of the medicine, dentistry and nursing courses, in February 2010, using the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and a structured questionnaire developed by the authors. Logistic regression was performed for data analysis.Result: the prevalence of CMD was 33.7%. The courses presented no differences in CMD prevalence. The logistic regression analysis showed a strong association of the following variables with CMD: female (OR=4.34), lack of good expectations regarding the future (OR=5.83), course as not a source of pleasure (OR=7.52) and feeling emotionally tense (OR=11.23). Conclusion: the high prevalence suggests that immediate preventive measures should be implemented, such as the setting up of psycho-pedagogic support services for students, and teacher development programs.

“…Students more frequently reported as stress-related factors a noisy environment, lack of safety, and transportation means. Authors still report that gender was not a significant factor for the psychological morbidity (23) . As to the physiological stress manifestations, researchers collected saliva samples from students, and requested them to answer a questionnaire in three different occasions: a month after the beginning of the semester, after the final exams, and after the grades had been published.…”

Objective: To analyze the scientific results published in national and international nursing journals related to the physiological and emotional responses of nursing students. Methods: We performed an integrative review of scientific literature, focusing on the databases PUBMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS and SciELO. In the sample, we included works available in full text, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published between July 2004 to July 2009, and which contained at least one descriptor in the title and three in the text, directly related to physiological and psychological manifestations of stress in nursing students. Results: Of 126 articles identified, only 13 referred to the theme; of these, five addressed psychological manifestations, four addressed physiological manifestations, and four others identified both. Of the total, four studies were longitudinal and nine were transverse. Conclusion: In terms of results, it was observed that the theme should be further studied and developed in the process of teaching and learning of nursing, because it was verified that stress is a frequent occurrence and has major consequences for these students. Descriptors: Nursing student/psychology; Stress; Physiological stress; Psychological stress RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a produção científica relacionada às respostas fisiológicas e emocionais em estudantes de enfermagem, registrada nos periódicos nacionais e internacionais de enfermagem.

Resultados: Dos 126 artigos identificados apenas 13 referiram-se ao tema, deles, cinco abordaram manifestações psicológicas, quatro, manifestações fisiológicas e outros quatro ambas. Do total, quatro foram estudos longitudinais e nove transversais.
