Resumo

Face à situação pandémica, as universidades atravessaram um conjunto de desafios, nomeadamente, a mudança do ensino “face a face” para aulas online. O presente estudo visa contribuir para a compreensão da situação de confinamento em estudantes universitários portugueses, através da análise dos níveis de stress percebido, sintomas de ansiedade e depressão. Participaram no estudo 694 estudantes do ensino superior português. Os resultados denotam sintomas moderados a severos de perturbação ansiosa, bem como o contributo explicativo de variáveis sociodemográficas, académicas e de vivência da pandemia. De destacar por um lado, o papel protetor da satisfação com o acompanhamento e supervisão por parte dos docentes e de ter momentos “isolados” para estudar. Por outro lado, os resultados revelam que a preocupação com a pandemia e com o seu impacto no percurso educacional são fatores de risco. Este estudo possibilita destacar pontos chaves de foco na prevenção de sintomatologia de ansiedade.
