“…On the other hand, it may also involve new academic, social and personal demands, and the need to become accustomed to the particular practices and academic expectations that higher education imposes (Maunder et al 2013). From an academic point of view, undergraduates must face various potential sources of stress, including teaching pace, external pressure, difficulty/complexity of learning activities, performing poorly at a task, work pressure, and sustained attention (Cotton, Dollard, and De Jonge 2002;Kember and Leung 2006;Petkar 2011;Tuomi et al 2013). It is interesting to note that sustained attention -a construct related to mental load, defined as the ability to maintain attention on a specific stimulus to a high degree over a long period of time (Coull 1998) -has been identified as highly relevant in academic contexts (Hassanbeigi et al 2011;Steinmayr et al 2010).…”

“…Our work aims to fill these gaps by exploring determinants of undergraduates' innovative behaviours over a period of one year. We build this study upon findings of employee innovation behaviours, using the analogy that studying is the job of students, and the educational institution is their workplace (Tuomi et al 2013). Specifically, we expect that autonomy and cognitive demands will foster undergraduates' innovation behaviours.…”

Innovation in the workplace has been claimed to be a key factor in organizational survival and success. As future workers, university students are a major source of future innovations in organizational settings. Before they enter the labour market, it is in the context of Higher Education that they start developing some of their long-term behaviours, such as innovation behaviours. This study aims to explore the main determinants of university students' innovation behaviours from a longitudinal perspective. The sample comprised 78 students of Psychology, Management, Fine Arts and Education. Our results show that previous innovation behaviours as freshmen, current levels of autonomy and cognitive demands are positively related with individual innovation among university students. Practical implications regarding how to foster innovation efforts in the context of Higher Education are discussed.

“…University education involves changes in a student's lifestyle and conditions, which could lead to stress [5]. Stress is one of the main factors that can trigger discomfort in students and has been related to poorer psychological well-being; social support, selfefficacy, resilience, and mindfulness have a positive effect on mental health [6][7][8]. It has also been found that being employed acts as a protective factor in students enrolled in nursing education programs [9].…”

“…Adequate psychological well-being is important to completing training [7]; and, identifying psychosocial factors-along with other sociodemographic and academic-that could affect their health, depending on the academic year, could prove very beneficial. Some studies have shown that one of the factors associated with stress is the academic year [12,16,17]).…”

In addition to complying with strict academic standards, nursing students must acquire relevant knowledge and skills, and learn how to carry themselves in different and often stressful professional settings. These obligations could severely affect their mental health. The purpose of this study was to examine the mental health status of undergraduate nursing students and related factors. A total of 1368 nursing students from different universities in Spain and Chile were included in this study, which took place over the 2018–2019 academic year. We assessed their levels of stress related to specific learning methodologies and determined their mental health status using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The results revealed that the more advanced the course was, the lower the total GHQ-28 score. The stress generated by different types of training activities had a significant effect on the total GHQ-28 score. These results suggest that nursing education could act as a protective factor against mental health disorders. Although a heavy academic workload could lead to higher levels of stress, overall, it seems that mental health is better in more advanced courses than in initial academic years.

“…Já quanto ao bem-estar, uma pequena parcela estava insatisfeita por conta do baixo apoio durante seu estudo (15) . Porém, um estudo sobre qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde e sintomas depressivos de estudantes de graduação em enfermagem indicou prejuízo multidimensional na qualidade de vida e observou-se que o impacto negativo na percepção de bem-estar é maior nos estudantes do último ano do curso (23) .…”

Objective: to search for scientific publications in the databases the quality of life and the well-being of university nursing students; to describe and analyze the perspectives focused on the literature. Methodology: An integrative literature review. Twenty-three studies were published between 2010 and 2014 in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature databases on Health Sciences Information, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System online and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. Results: it was observed that the quality of life and well-being are moderately well in the evaluation of the nursing students evaluated in the studies, and that despite the stressors of the course, the students solve the stressful situations with some relaxation techniques and coping, but also resorting to the use of alcohol and tobacco. The instruments used in the studies: WHOQOL-BREF, Beck depression inventory and perceived stress scale. Conclusion: depression, insomnia, stress and fatigue were identified as a result of academic life. Thus, it is important for institutions and teachers to be alert to early recognition of multidimensional indicatives that affect the quality of life and well-being of their students, and to implement preventive measures.
