“…The scores for DHDTS in the dimensions of personal growth, purpose in life and self-acceptance, were similar to, or higher than, scores rated as 'high well-being' in a recent study examining physical activity levels and psychological well-being amongst 700 university students. 37 It was not too surprising that there was a difference in scores for personal growth and positive relations with others as DHDT training is female-dominated, and studies have shown that personal growth and positive relations are particular dimensions which are more central to female conceptions of their development, than they are to males. 24,25 The difference in purpose in life scores between the two groups is unclear.…”

Aims To explore dental hygiene and dental therapy students' (DHDTS') perception of stress and well-being during their undergraduate education and establish base-line data for further studies of this group of dental professionals.Subjects and methods A questionnaire was distributed to Years 1, 2 and 3 DHDTS and final year outreach dental students (DS) (as a comparison group), at the University of Portsmouth Dental Academy (UPDA), during summer 2015. Data were collected on students' perception of levels of stress and well-being. Statistical analyses were undertaken using SPSS software. Mann-Whitney U tests with Bonferroni corrections were used and the level for a statistically significant difference was set at p <0.002.Results A response rate of 81% (DHDTS) and 85% (DS) was achieved. Clinical factors and academic work were perceived as stressful for both DHDTS and DS, with no significant difference between the groups. The majority of respondents reported levels of depression, anxiety, and stress to be within the normal range. All students reported high levels of positive well-being, with DHDTS scoring significantly higher than DS in the dimensions of personal growth, purpose in life, self-acceptance and positive relations with others (p <0.002).Conclusions DHDTS and DS identified sources of stress within their undergraduate education, but also perceived themselves as positively-functioning individuals.

ResumenIntroducción: la inactividad física, el tabaquismo, el uso nocivo de alcohol y una dieta poco saludable son considerados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como los cuatro factores de riesgo comportamentales que aumentan el riesgo de padecer enfermedades no transmisibles. Objetivo: describir las prevalencias de los factores de riesgo comportamentales en estudiantes universitarios latinoamericanos a partir de la literatura científica consultada. Materiales y métodos: se realizó una revisión sistemática en la que fueron analizados 585 artículos mediante búsqueda electrónica en bases de datos. Después del análisis, fueron seleccionados 93 estudios que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: la media total de prevalencias halladas en los artículos analizados fue de 52,57% ± 22,53% para el caso de la inactividad física, 22,61% ± 12,91% para el tabaquismo, 26,2 (RI 24,5) para el consumo perjudicial de alcohol y 81,3% ± 16,3% para el bajo consumo de frutas y verduras. Conclusiones: los resultados evidencian la presencia de un estilo de vida poco saludable en la población universitaria latinoamericana. Key words:Physical activity. Binge drinking.Smoking.

“…Estudios realizados con diversas poblaciones de estudiantes universitarios, por medio de autoreporte con la aplicación de cuestionarios para valorar los niveles de actividad física y su relación con el ES, han mostrado que las personas que reportan realizar actividad física a mayor intensidad (vigorosa) reportan niveles de estrés percibido mucho menores; el caso contrario ocurre en aquellos cuyos niveles de actividad física son menores (Gerber et al, 2014;Gillan et al, 2013;Lapa, 2015;Vankim & Nelson, 2013).…”
