Abstract(s)
A entrada no ensino superior é um marco na vida de muitos estudantes. E cada indivíduo experiencia esta nova etapa de modo diferente, dependendo das suas características individuais, mas também, do meio em que se encontra inserido, pois as exigências impostas pela sociedade atual requerem maior nível de competências e de habilidades pessoais. São diversos os fatores que influenciam desfavoravelmente na higiene do sono, repercutindo-se em sonolência diurna excessiva; assim como no bem-estar subjetivo (satisfação com a vida, afeto positivo e afeto negativo).
As causas da sonolência diurna excessiva são múltiplas e refere-se à privação crónica de sono, caracterizando-se pela grande probabilidade do indivíduo de sentir impelido a dormir em momentos inapropriados.
Os estudantes universitários são uma população propensa a transtornos do sono devido a vários fatores, tais como, a carga horária e a exigência de alto rendimento. Apresentam muitas vezes elevado grau de ansiedade associada à necessidade de obter bom desempenho nos estudos e face às dificuldades apresentadas em prol da sobrevivência longe da família.
Ora, considera-se satisfação com a vida como um juízo subjetivo que cada indivíduo faz da própria vida, de acordo com padrão pré-estabelecido pelo mesmo. Sendo que, a satisfação com a vida se encontra relacionada com indicadores de funcionamento psicológico positivo.
Os estudantes universitários percecionam de forma singular todas as mudanças que emergem da sua entrada ou permanência no mundo universitário, pelo que esta individualidade lhes permite vivenciar afetos positivos ou negativos. Assim, o afeto positivo reflete o nível de entusiasmo, de alerta e de atividade que carateriza o indivíduo, enquanto o afeto negativo manifesta a dimensão geral da ansiedade subjetiva e de compromisso desagradável.
O presente estudo de natureza exploratória e transversal pretende analisar se existe associação entre sono, satisfação com a vida e afetos em alunos do ensino superior.
Estudou-se uma amostra não probabilística, de conveniência, constituída por 264 estudantes que se encontravam a frequentar o primeiro ciclo de estudos no ensino superior.
Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico e três escalas: Escala de Satisfação com a Vida – SWLS, a Escala de Afetos – PANAS e a Escala de Sonolência Diurna Excessiva – ESE.
Conclui-se, com maior relevância, que o bem-estar subjetivo se encontra relacionado com a perceção de saúde; que o afeto interfere na sonolência diurna excessiva e que se relaciona com a satisfação com a vida.
The Entry into higher education is a milestone in the lives of many students. Each individual experiences this new stage differently, depending on their individual characteristics, but also on the environment in which they are inserted, because the demands imposed by the current society require a higher level of skills and personal skills. There are several factors that have an unfavorable influence on sleep hygiene, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness; as well as in subjective well-being (satisfaction with life, positive affect and negative affect). The causes of excessive daytime sleepiness are multiple and refer to chronic sleep deprivation, characterized by the high probability of the individual feeling impelled to sleep at inappropriate times. College students are a population prone to sleep disorders due to various factors, such as the workload and the requirement of high performance. They often present high levels of anxiety associated with the need to perform well in the studies and in the face of the difficulties presented for survival away from the family. Now, considered satisfaction with life is subjective judgment that each individual makes of his own life, according to the pattern pre-established by him. Being that, satisfaction with life is related to indicators of positive psychological functioning. The university students perceive in a singular way all the changes that emerge from their entrance or permanence in the university world, reason why this individuality allows them to experience positive or negative affections. Thus, positive affection reflects the level of enthusiasm, alertness, and activity that characterizes the individual, while negative affection manifests the general dimension of subjective anxiety and unpleasant commitment. The present exploratory and cross - sectional study intends to analyze if there is an association between sleep, life satisfaction and affection in students of higher education. A non-probabilistic, convenience sample was studied, consisting of 264 students who were attending the first cycle of studies in higher education. A sociodemographic questionnaire and three scales were used: Life Satisfaction Scale - SWLS, Affect Scale - PANAS and the Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Scale - ESE. Concluded, with greater relevance, that the subjective well-being is related to the health perception; that affection interferes with excessive daytime sleepiness and is related to satisfaction with life.
