Introdução: Atualmente, as redes sociais desempenham um papel central na vida dos seus utilizadores, sendo os jovens e adolescentes o grupo mais assíduo. Desde o nascimento que estão em contacto com tecnologias e plataformas online. Este uso é, frequentemente, associado a comportamentos de risco e a doenças do foro psiquiátrico, sendo por isto, importante perceber quais os efeitos negativos para a saúde mental e desenvolver estratégias para um uso consciente e que promova o bem estar.
Objetivo: Mapear a literatura existente sobre o impacto das redes sociais na saúde mental dos jovens e adolescentes.
Métodos: Foi efetuada uma scoping review, em setembro de 2024, conduzida de acordo com a metodologia de Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Foi feita a avaliação da relevância dos artigos, a extração e síntese dos dados.
Discussão: Foram identificados 80 estudos, dos quais 16 apresentaram as características de elegibilidade para a inclusão na revisão. As redes sociais influenciam, maioritariamente, de forma negativa a saúde mental dos jovens e adolescentes, sendo a depressão e a ansiedade as patologias psicológicas mais presentes. Variáveis como o apoio familiar, as horas de utilização, o modo de uso e género têm diferentes implicações no bem estar psicológico destes.
Conclusão: Segundo a literatura, é possível concluir que as redes sociais afetam mais fortemente a saúde mental da população alvo de forma negativa, no entanto, existem também benefícios trazidos pelo uso destas. É importante consciencializar os jovens e adolescentes para um uso moderado e correto e fornecer bases para o desenvolvimento de um foro emocional estável e sólido. Contudo, é necessário mais estudos para compreender melhor estes resultados.
Introduction: Nowadays, social networks play a central role in the lives of their users, with young people and teenagers being the most frequent group. They have been in contact with technology and online platforms since birth. This use is often associated with risky behavior and psychiatric illnesses, wich is why it is important to understand the negative effects on mental health and develop strategies for conscious use that promotes well being. Objective: To map the existing literature on the impact of social networks on the mental health of young people and adolescents. Methods: A scoping review was carried out in September 2024 according to the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The relevance of the articles was assessed, and the data was extracted and synthesized. Discussion: A total of 80 studies were identified, 16 of which met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the review. Social networks have a mostly negative influence on the mental health of young people and adolescents, with depression and anxiety being the most common psychological pathologies. Variables such as family support, hours of use, mode of use and gender have different implications for their psychological well being. Conclusion: According to the literature, it is possible to conclude that social networks have a stronger negative impact on the mental health of the target population, although there are also benefits to using them. It is important to make young people and adolescents aware of the importance of moderate and correct use and to provide a basis for the development of a stable and solid emotional forum. However, more studies are needed to better understand these results.
