Introdução: A espiritualidade define-se como um construto dinâmico e subjetivo, baseado na experiência e vivência das relações do quotidiano, assumindo-se dessa forma como uma importante dimensão para a qualidade de vida do indivíduo (Koenig, King & Carson, 2012). Ao apresentar-se como uma experiência humana que engloba interações bio-psico-socio-espirituais, a espiritualidade evidencia-se como indicador de bem-estar, de saúde física e mental. Dada a sua ampla abrangência e impacto, diversos estudos têm apontado para a potencial relação entre espiritualidade e personalidade, podendo as crenças e a esperança/otimismo mobilizar energias e iniciativas positivas e associar-se assim com os diferentes traços de personalidade. Deste modo, o presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar a relação entre espiritualidade e personalidade, em estudantes do ensino superior. Método: Neste estudo transversal, descritivo correlacional, um questionário sociodemográfico desenvolvido para o efeito, a Escala de Espiritualidade (Pinto & Pais- Ribeiro, 2007) e o NEO-FFI (Lima & Simões, 2000) foram administrados, em contexto grupal de sala de aula, antes da pandemia, a 200 estudantes, com idade média de 23 anos, de três instituições do ensino superior do Norte de Portugal. Resultados: Os domínios da espiritualidade correlacionaram-se com os traços de personalidade neuroticismo, extroversão, amabilidade e conscienciosidade. Conclusão: Já que as crenças e a esperança/otimismo, bem como a espiritualidade como um todo, têm demonstrado um efeito protetor ao nível da qualidade de vida, bem-estar, saúde física e mental, os presentes resultados sugerem a pertinência de identificar características de personalidade que poderão aumentar o risco em termos de (baixa) espiritualidade (e pior qualidade de vida, bem-estar e saúde) junto de estudantes do ensino superior. Esta identificação poderá permitir aumentar a eficácia das intervenções destinadas a promover a espiritualidade (e, consequentemente, a qualidade de vida, bem-estar e saúde).
Introduction: Spirituality is defined as a dynamic and subjective construct based on the experience and experience of everyday relationships, thus assumed as an important dimension for the individual's quality of life (Koenig, King & Carson, 2012). By presenting itself as a human experience that encompasses bio-psycho-socio-spiritual interactions, spirituality stands out as an indicator of wellbeing, physical and mental health. Given its broad scope and impact, several studies have pointed to the potential relationship between spirituality and personality, with beliefs and hope/optimism being able to mobilize energies and positive initiatives and thus be associated with different personality traits. Thus, this study aims to explore the relationship between spirituality and personality in higher education students. Method: In this cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, a sociodemographic questionnaire developed for this study, the Spirituality-Scale (Pinto & Pais-Ribeiro, 2007) and the NEO-FFI (Lima & Simões, 2000) were administered in a group classroom context, before the pandemic, to 200 students, with a mean age of 23 years, from three higher education institutions in the North of Portugal. Results: The domains of spirituality were correlated with personality traits neuroticism, extraversion, kindness and conscientiousness. Conclusion: Since beliefs and hope/optimism, as well as spirituality as a whole, have demonstrated a protective effect in terms of quality of life, well-being, physical and mental health, the present results suggest the relevance of identifying personality characteristics that may increase the risk in terms of (low) spirituality (and worse quality of life, well-being and health) among higher education students. This identification may allow an increase in the effectiveness of interventions aimed at promoting spirituality (and, consequently, quality of life, well-being and health).
