Resumo: | ABSTRACT - The actual pandemic context took several changes in the routine of higher education students, including interruptions of face-to-face classes, implementation of education at a distance, interruption or delayed phases, and others, which could compromise mental health. This study aimed to assess the perception of mental health among higher education students in times of the pandemic COVID-19 and associated factors. The sample was constituted of 1,004 higher education students, aged 18 to 51 years (20.33±3.35), 725 (72.2%) female. The instrument includes a questionnaire, elaborated by the researchers, divided into four parts: characterization social-demographic, physical exercise practice, feeding, and mental health. Before the confinement, 99 (9.9%) students classify their mental health as poor and during the confinement 423 (42.2%) said that their mental health was poor (p≤0.001). Women presented 1.91 (CI=1.42-2.56; p≤0.001) more probabilities of having poor mental health and the students that did not practice physical exercise during the confinement had 1.56 (CI=1.22-2.04; p≤0.001) more chances of having poor mental health. Most students classified their mental health as inferior during confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with women and the lack of physical exercise being the factors that were most related to poor mental health. |

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a perceção da saúde mental em estudantes do ensino superior em tempos de pandemia COVID-19 e os fatores associados. A amostra foi constituída por 1.004 estudantes do ensino superior, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 51 anos (20,33±3,35), sendo 725 (72,2%) do sexo feminino. O instrumento incluiu um questionário, elaborado pelos investigadores, dividido em quatro partes: caracterização sócio-demográfica da população, prática de exercício físico, alimentação e saúde mental. Antes do confinamento, 99 (9,9%) estudantes classificaram a sua saúde mental como má e durante o confinamento 423 (42,2%) disseram que a sua saúde mental estava má (p≤0,001). As mulheres apresentaram 1,91 (IC=1,42-2,56; p≤0,001) mais probabilidades de ter uma má saúde mental e os estudantes que não praticaram exercício físico durante o confinamento tiveram 1,56 (IC=1,22-2,04; p≤0,001) mais chances de ter uma saúde mental de má qualidade. A maioria dos estudantes classificou a sua saúde mental como má durante o período de confinamento decorrente da pandemia COVID-19, sendo as mulheres e a ausência de prática de exercício físico os fatores que estiveram mais relacionados com a má saúde mental.Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de LisboaRCIPLMinghelli, BeatrizMartins, BeatrizPereira, CarlosBento, JoanaNogueira, LeonorCoelho, MarianaPargana, MarianaBorges, MiriamSousa, RafaelaCalado, Tatiana2023-05-30T10:29:35Z2022-112022-11-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/16176engMinghelli B, Martins B, Pereira C, Bento J, Nogueira L, Coelho M, et al.
