Abstract(s)
Até há bem pouco tempo a promoção da saúde e a prevenção da doença baseavam-se no modelo médico de ausência de doença física (Bennett & Murphy, 1999). Recentemente foram surgindo, de forma mais intensiva, estudos relacionados com a saúde mental, nomeadamente com a transição do conceito de ausência de doença para “ o estado de bem-estar no qual cada indivíduo atinge o seu potencial, consegue lidar com stress normal da vida, consegue trabalhar com produtividade e frutuosamente e é capaz de dar o seu contributo para a sua comunidade” (OMS, 2013).
Tendo em conta a importância do tema nos dias de hoje e estando a saúde mental intimamente relacionada com o bem-estar, como se poderá verificar ao longo da investigação, este estudo prender-se-á com a caracterização do bem-estar mental das pessoas residentes em Vilarinho dos Galegos – Mogadouro.
Nele participaram 61 indivíduos de ambos os sexos e com idades compreendidas entre os 21 e os 92 anos. A recolha de dados foi realizada com base na administração da Versão Portuguesa da Escala de Bem-Estar Mental de Warwick-Edinburgh (WEMWBS) e de um questionário sociodemográfico construído para o efeito. De forma genérica os resultados obtidos apontam para níveis elevados de bem-estar mental na amostra avaliada. Ao longo desta investigação serão ainda abordados temas como a saúde mental positiva, a psicologia positiva e os vários tipos de bem-estar.
Until very recently, the promotion of health and prevention of illness were based in the medical model of absence of physical sickness (Bennett & Murphy, 1999). Recently, studies related to mental health have emerged more often, namely with the transition from “absence of sickness” to “the state of well-being in which the individual attains their potential, can deal with life’s regular stress, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to provide their contribution to their community” (WHO, 2013). Taking into account the importance of this subject nowadays, along with the intimate relationship between mental health and well-being, as will be evident throughout this research, the present study will focus on detailing the mental well-being of people residing in Vilarinho dos Galegos – Mogadouro. In this same study, 61 individuals, of both sexes and with ages between 21 and 92 years, were involved. The data collection was performed based on the administration of the Portuguese version of Warwick-Edinburgh’s Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMBWBS) along with a social-demographic questionnaire built for the purpose. Generically, the obtained results point to elevated levels of well-being in the assessed sample. Throughout this investigation, subjects such as positive mental health, positive psychology and various types of well-being will also be discussed.
