Resumo: The entry in a higher education institution enables young people to new experiences, some contribute to their development, others can be harmful to their health. The main objectives of this study were to examine the type and frequency of legal and illegal psychoactive substances, used by students of polytechnics, and their beliefs and attitudes or cognitive distortions associated with these consumptions. We adapted the HIT-D&A questionnaire (How I Think about Drugs and Questionnaire Alcohol) from Barriga and colleagues (2008) and applied it to 193 students, aged between 19 and 25 and attending the first year of a higher education course. The results showed that the most consumed psychoactive substances were alcohol, followed by tobacco and then marijuana. The results are discussed in terms of the role of the irrational beliefs in behaviour with consequences for human health and the most appropriate strategies to prevent the use of these substances.

Os principais objetivos deste estudo foram: conhecer o tipo e a frequência de substâncias psicoativas legais e ilegais, usadas pelos estudantes do ensino superior politécnico, e as crenças e atitudes ou distorções cognitivas associadas a esses consumos. Adaptou-se o questionário HIT-D&A (How I Think about Drugs and Alcool Questionnaire) de Barriga e colaboradores (2008) e aplicou-se a 193 estudantes, com idades entre os 19 e os 25 anos do primeiro ano do ensino superior. Os resultados permitem concluir que as substâncias psicoativas mais consumidas foram o álcool, seguido do tabaco, e depois da marijuana. Os resultados são discutidos em termos do papel das crenças irracionais nos comportamentos com consequências na saúde e das estratégias mais adequadas para prevenir o consumo destas substâncias.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2017-11-02info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_60-1_2https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_60-1_2Psychologica; Vol. 60 No. 1 (2017); 19-37Psychologica; Vol. 60 N.º 1 (2017); 19-371647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_60-1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_60-1_2https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_60-1_2/3832Costa, Maria BeatrizMartins, Maria José D.Proença, Adelaide JoãoSilva, Ana Mateusinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-31T13:59:36Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/4753Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:58:16.466529Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
