Publication . Maria, Olívia da Conceição Costa; Galvão, Ana Maria; Liébana, Maria José Diez
The data on the mental health of young people, in the current scientific evidence, point to the need for a constant updating of perspectives in relation to the contexts in which it is inserted, aiming at a more targeted intervention and its empowerment. In this context, it was described in the study: "Consumption of psychoactive substances in university students... What reality?" as one of the objectives- Identify the level of psychological health (depression, anxiety, and stress) of students at the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. A quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study was carried out. A (non-probabilistic) sample of 392 students was used. The assessment of the students' psychological health was carried out using the Anxiety, Depression, and Stress Scale (EADS21) by Lovibond and Lovibond, adapted by Pais Ribeiro in 2004. SPSS was used to process the data using descriptive statistics and inferential with a significance level of 95%. As a result, we have that: about 25% of students show above-normal levels of intensity in the depression and stress dimensions, reaching almost one-third in the anxiety dimension. The correlations between the EADS21 dimensions were moderate to strong.
