Resumo: | The increased use of psychostimulants by healthy students has raised questions about their effects on increasing academic performance. With this, the present study aimed to carry out an integrative review on the effectiveness of these drugs in increasing academic performance in healthy people. Directed with the help of descriptors verified in Health Sciences Descriptors (DECS) and Medical Subject Headings (MESH) according to each database. For the production of the article, searches were carried out in the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Virtual Health Library (BVS), Web of Science, National Library of Medicine - National Institutes of Health (PUBMED). The following were selected as inclusion criteria: answering the target question and being written in Portuguese or English. As a result, 13 studies were obtained. After analysis, a study was observed that gathered online research data to document the perceived academic benefit of NPS and its relationship with such practice (nonmedical use of prescription stimulants), in which 28.6 % of users agreed that NPS could improve academic performance, and another 38.0% were not sure. It was also noted that drinking and cannabis consumption patterns were more associated with NPS. In addition, the use of methylphenidate was associated with improvement in long-term memory, however, the results were conflicting. Thus, it is necessary to follow up on new research, aiming to intensify the dissemination of information about the risks of self-medication and to promote actions focused on the academical mental health. |

Con ello, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión integradora sobre la efectividad de estos fármacos en el aumento del rendimiento académico en personas sanas. Dirigido con la ayuda de descriptores verificados en Health Sciences Descriptors (DECS) y Medical Subject Headings (MESH) según cada base de datos. Para la elaboración del artículo se realizaron búsquedas en las siguientes bases de datos: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Virtual Health Library (BVS), Web of Science, National Library of Medicine - National Institutes of Health (PUBMED). Fueron seleccionados como criterios de inclusión: responder a la pregunta objetivo y estar escrito en portugués o inglés. Como resultado se obtuvieron 13 estudios. Tras el análisis, se observó un estudio que recopiló datos de investigación en línea para documentar el beneficio académico percibido de las NPS y su relación con dicha práctica (uso no médico de estimulantes recetados), en el que el 28,6 % de los usuarios estuvo de acuerdo en que las NPS podrían mejorar el rendimiento académico, y otro El 38,0% no estaba seguro. También se observó que los patrones de consumo de alcohol y cannabis estaban más asociados con las NSP. Además, el uso de metilfenidato se asoció con una mejora en la memoria a largo plazo; sin embargo, los resultados fueron contradictorios. Por lo tanto, es necesario dar seguimiento a nuevas investigaciones, con el objetivo de intensificar la difusión de información sobre los riesgos de la automedicación y promover acciones enfocadas en la salud mental de los académicos.O aumento do uso de psicoestimulantes por estudantes saudáveis tem gerado questionamentos acerca dos efeitos para o aumento da performance acadêmica. Com isso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa sobre a efetividade dessas drogas no aumento da performance acadêmica em pessoas saudáveis.

Para a produção do artigo, foram realizadas buscas nas seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science, National Library of Medicine - National Institutes of Health (PUBMED). Foram selecionados como critérios de inclusão: responder à pergunta-alvo e estar escrito em português ou inglês. Como resultado, foram obtidos 13 estudos. Após análise, observou-se um estudo que reuniu dados de pesquisa on-line para documentar o benefício acadêmico percebido do NPS e sua relação com tal prática (nonmedical use of prescription stimulants- uso de estimulantes sem prescrição médica), em que 28,6% dos usuários concordaram que o NPS poderia melhorar o desempenho acadêmico, e outros 38,0% não tinham certeza. Notou-se também que padrões de consumo de bebida e cannabis estavam mais associados ao NPS. Além disso, associou-se o uso do metilfenidato à melhora da memória de longo prazo, contudo, os resultados mostraram-se conflitantes.
