“…Em contexto escolar, e envolvendo toda a comunidade educativa, a saúde mental pode ser promovida através de programas preventivos que impliquem governo, comunidade, família e escola (Gaspar et al, 2020;Gomez-Baya et al, 2018;López-Pérez, & Zuffianò, 2021;Matos et al, 2020;Tomé et al, 2020).…”

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal a compreensão dos sintomas depressivos na adolescência durante a pandemia COVID-19 numa perspetiva biopsicossocial. Participaram no estudo 826 adolescentes residentes na área geográfica da Câmara Municipal de Famalicão (Portugal). Os resultados revelaram que dos adolescentes em estudo, 30,7 % referiu ter sintomas depressivos, 34,9% sentiu tristeza tão grande que parece não aguentar. Destaca-se que 80,6% sentiu preocupações e 86,2% tem uma perceção positiva da sua saúde. Ter sintomas depressivos está negativamente associado a ter competências socioemocionais, com perceção de bem-estar e, com o conjunto de sintomas físicos e psicológicos. Por outro lado, ter sintomas depressivos está positivamente associado a sentir tristeza tão grande que parece não aguentar e preocupações, ter-se autolesionado e com ter as expectativas futuras afetadas pela COVID-19.

From an ecological perspective, this study aimed to understand and characterize the similarities and differences between girls and boys regarding the perception of happiness. This paper is based on the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) 2022 study. 5809 students from 6th (29.6%), 8th (33.5%), and 10th (37%) grades responded, of whom 50.9% were female, with a mean age of 14.09 years (SD = 1.82). The results allow us to study and identify similarities and differences between four groups from an ecological perspective: happy girls, happy boys, unhappy girls, and unhappy boys. For both boys and girls, quality of life, low psychological symptoms, and body image best explain their well-being. Among unhappy girls, the mother's job, life satisfaction, health literacy, communication with the father, and relationship with teachers explain their well-being. In the case of unhappy boys, in addition to these variables, the father's job and the relationship with the family also explain their well-being.. Mental health factors, such as life satisfaction, quality of life, and low psychological symptoms, explain well-being in both boys and girls. For happy girls, age, mother's job, stress management, health literacy, and liking school explain their well-being. Happy boys report that not being so sad that they cannot stand it, not having worries, having a good relationship with teachers, and feeling safe in their living area contribute to their well-being. We conclude that unhappy adolescents are the ones who report more socioeconomic and family relationship difficulties, especially in communication with their fathers. Girls have weaker psychological health indicators and a more negative body image.
