Resumo: | This study aimed to identify possible conditions associated with the perception of happiness and satisfaction with life in a sample of the Brazilian population who use social networks. This was a cross-sectional study with participants recruited online in five regions of Brazil via Facebook and WhatsApp. Data were collected from October 2015 to October 2016. The instruments used were the Pemberton Happiness Index, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and issues potentially associated with the feeling of happiness. In total, 2,151 participants were included. A total of five variables exerted the greatest influence on higher levels of happiness and satisfaction with life in the multiple linear regression model, in the multiple logistic regression analysis, and in the decision tree model. Being satisfied with financial circumstances, having a positive self-evaluation of health, having frequent family gatherings, engaging in physical activity ≥ 3 times a week, and having no previous psychological/psychiatric diagnosis are variables that “seem” to positively influence Brazilians’ perception of happiness and satisfaction with life. We identified some predictors of happiness and satisfaction with life, which were mainly related to the social activities and personal satisfaction of the participating individuals. Encouraging people to seek strategies for increasing levels of happiness and life satisfaction based on modifiable variables, such as those found, can be helpful in this context. |

Se trata de un estudio transversal, con participantes reclutados en línea en cinco regiones de Brasil, a través del Facebook y del WhatsApp. Los datos fueron recogidos entre octubre 2015 y octubre 2016. Los instrumentos usados fueron: el Índice de Felicidad de Pemberton, la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida, y un cuestionario respecto a las características sociodemográficas y clínicas, así como asuntos potencialmente asociados con el sentimiento de felicidad. Se incluyeron a un total de 2.151 participantes. Cinco variables ejercieron la influencia más significativa en los mayores niveles de felicidad y satisfacción con la vida en el modelo de regresión múltiple, en los análisis de regresión logística múltiple y en el modelo de árbol de decisión. Estar satisfecho con las circunstancias financieras, tener una autoevaluación positiva de salud, reunirse frecuentemente con la familia, implicarse en actividades físicas ≥ 3 veces a la semana, y no contar diagnósticos previos psicológicos/psiquiátricos son variables que “parecen” influenciar positivamente la percepción de felicidad y satisfacción con la vida de los brasileños. Se identificaron algunos predictores de felicidad y satisfacción con la vida, lo que estaba principalmente relacionado con actividades sociales y satisfacción personal de los participantes brasileños. Fomentar que la gente busque estrategias para incrementar los niveles de felicidad y satisfacción con la vida, basados en variables modificables como las encontradas, puede ser útil en este contexto.O estudo teve como objetivo identificar possíveis condições associadas com a percepção de felicidade e satisfação de vida em uma amostra de indivíduos da população geral brasileira que usam redes sociais. O estudo transversal recrutou participantes via redes sociais nas cinco macrorregiões brasileiras, através do Facebook e do WhatsApp. Os dados foram coletados entre outubro de 2015 e outubro de 2016. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Índice de Felicidade de Pemberton, Escala de Satisfação com a Vida e um questionário sobre características sociodemográficas e clínicas e questões potencialmente associadas com a sensação de felicidade. Foram incluídos 2.151 participantes. Cinco variáveis tiveram maior influência sob níveis mais altos de felicidade e de satisfação com a vida, de acordo com o modelo de regressão linear múltipla, análise de regressão logística multivariada e modelo de árvore de decisão. A satisfação com as circunstâncias financeiras, a autoavaliação da saúde positiva, reuniões familiares frequentes, atividade física ≥ 3 vezes por semana e ausência de diagnóstico psicológico ou psiquiátrico prévio são variáveis que “parecem” influenciar positivamente a percepção de felicidade e satisfação com a vida entre os brasileiros. Foram identificados alguns preditores de felicidade e satisfação com a vida, relacionados principalmente a atividades sociais e à satisfação pessoal. Uma medida útil nesse contexto é incentivar as pessoas a buscarem estratégias para elevar os níveis de felicidade e de satisfação com a vida baseadas nas variáveis modificáveis identificadas no estudo.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2021-12-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7665Reports in Public Health; Vol. 37 No. 12 (2021): DecemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 37 n. 12 (2021): Dezembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7665/17120https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7665/17121Mayara Goulart de CamargosBianca Sakamoto Ribeiro PaivaMarco Antonio de OliveiraCarla Simone Leite de AlmeidaClaudia Hofheinz GiacomoniCarlos Eduardo Paivainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:30:05Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/7665Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:08:49.052738Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |
