Abstract(s)
O bem-estar espiritual atualmente tem sido alvo de diversas investigações,
sobretudo relacionadas com os processos de saúde. Constituindo-se como um estado
psicológico positivo, vários autores destacam a importância deste constructo na
reconstrução das expectativas positivas da vida perante a adversidade. Neste sentido, a
maior parte dos estudos científicos permite concluir que o Bem-estar Espiritual é uma
experiência de apoio e fortalecimento, à qual a pessoa recorre de forma intencional
numa situação de crise, de forma a auxiliar a resolução da mesma. É neste sentido que
esta investigação se propõe a estudar a relação entre o Bem-estar Espiritual e a Saúde
(Mental) de estudantes universitários. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Mental
Health Inventory (MHI) e o Questionário de Bem-Estar Espiritual (SWBQp). A amostra
é constituída por 194 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 67 anos,
em que 156 (80,4%) são do sexo feminino. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que as
dimensões do Bem-estar Espiritual se relacionam com uma melhor Saúde Mental,
corroborando com os resultados encontrados noutros estudos. Considera-se assim que este estudo é uma mais-valia na área da saúde, ao nível da compreensão dos fatores que podem estar relacionados com uma melhor qualidade de vida e consequentemente com uma melhor saúde.
The spiritual well-being has currently been the subject of various investigations, mostly related to health processes. As a positive psychological state, several authors emphasize the importance of this construct in the reconstruction of the positive expectations of life in the face of adversity. In this sense, most scientific studies allow us to conclude that the spiritual well-being is an experience of support and empowerment, to which the person intentionally recurs in a crisis, to help solving it. This research proposes to study the relationship between spiritual well being and the (mental) health of university students. The instruments used were the Mental Health Inventory (MHI) and “Questionário de Bem-Estar Espiritual (SWBQp)”. The sample consist of 194 participants, aged between 18 and 67 years old, in which 156 (80.4%) are female. This study results indicate that the dimensions of spiritual well-being are related to a better mental health. Thus, it is considered that this study is an added value in the health area, in terms of understanding the factors that may be related to a better quality of life and consequently, a better health.
