Resumo: | University students represent a group that is at high risk of stress and even suicide. The present study aimed to investigate the profiles and stress levels of undergraduate students enrolled in health sciences courses at a Brazilian university, and how their health and academic performance are affected. A total of 431 students participated, of which 30% were not stressed, 2.5% were in the alert phase, 38.7% were in the resistance phase, and 28.8% were almost exhausted. Stress levels were related to gender (p = 0.0005), course (p = 0.004), and semester; higher levels of stress negatively influenced students’ academic performance (p = 0.019), socialization (p = 0.020), relationship with the university (p = 0.019), learning (p < 0.0001), sleep (p < 0.0001), and perceived health (p < 0.001). The present study provides evidence regarding the stress levels of health sciences undergraduate students in Brazil, as well as its negative effect on health status and academic performance. It is suggested that further studies should be conducted specially to investigating strategies for students’ stress control in the university environment. |

Los estudiantes universitarios representan un grupo que está en alto riesgo de estrés e incluso de suicidio. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar los perfiles y niveles de estrés de estudiantes de pregrado matriculados en cursos de ciencias de la salud en una universidad brasileña, y cómo se ven afectados su salud y su rendimiento académico. Participaron un total de 431 alumnos, de los cuales el 30% no estaban estresados, el 2,5% estaban en fase de alerta, el 38,7% en fase de resistencia y el 28,8% casi agotados. Los niveles de estrés se relacionaron con el género (p = 0,0005), el curso (p = 0,004) y el semestre; niveles más altos de estrés influyeron negativamente en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes (p = 0,019), la socialización (p = 0,020), la relación con la universidad (p = 0,019), el aprendizaje (p < 0,0001), el sueño (p < 0,0001) y la salud percibida (p < 0,001). El presente estudio aporta evidencias sobre los niveles de estrés de los estudiantes de licenciatura en ciencias de la salud en Brasil, así como su efecto negativo sobre el estado de salud y el rendimiento académico. Se sugiere que se realicen más estudios especialmente para investigar estrategias para el control del estrés de los estudiantes en el ámbito universitario.Os estudantes universitários representam um grupo com alto risco de estresse e até suicídio. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar os perfis e níveis de estresse de estudantes de graduação matriculados em cursos de ciências da saúde de uma universidade brasileira e como sua saúde e desempenho acadêmico são afetados. Participaram 431 alunos, dos quais 30% não estavam estressados, 2,5% estavam na fase de alerta, 38,7% estavam na fase de resistência e 28,8% estavam quase exaustos. Os níveis de estresse foram relacionados ao sexo (p = 0,0005), curso (p = 0,004) e semestre; maiores níveis de estresse influenciaram negativamente o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos (p = 0,019), a socialização (p = 0,020), o relacionamento com a universidade (p = 0,019), o aprendizado (p < 0,0001), o sono (p < 0,0001) e a percepção de saúde (p < 0,001). O presente estudo fornece evidências sobre os níveis de estresse de estudantes de graduação em ciências da saúde no Brasil, bem como seu efeito negativo sobre o estado de saúde e o desempenho acadêmico. Sugere-se que mais estudos sejam realizados especialmente para investigar estratégias de controle do estresse dos estudantes no ambiente universitário.Research, Society and Development2022-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2748810.33448/rsd-v11i4.27488Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 4; e39311427488Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 4; e39311427488Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 4; e393114274882525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/27488/24021Copyright (c) 2022 Ana Lucia Lacerda Michelotto; Ana Carolina Rizzon Cintra; Saulo Weber; Pedro Vicente Michelotto Junior; Saulo Pfeffer Geber; Cloves Amorim; Patrícia Lupion Torres; Cristina Santos Sotomaiorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMichelotto, Ana Lucia Lacerda Rizzon Cintra, Ana CarolinaWeber, SauloMichelotto Junior, Pedro VicenteGeber, Saulo Pfeffer Amorim, ClovesTorres, Patrícia Lupion Sotomaior, Cristina Santos 2022-03-27T17:17:09Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/27488Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:45:13.111505Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
