“…This prevalence of CMD is higher than among the general Brazilian population [ 64 – 67 ] and lower than that identified in primary care settings [ 68 ]. The prevalence identified in this study was similar to that reported in previous national [ 10 , 17 , 23 , 69 ] and international studies aimed at undergraduate students [ 70 – 72 ]. Only one study, involving 1,198 university students in Ethiopia, reported a slightly greater prevalence (49.1%) [ 73 ], which can be explained by cultural and socioeconomic differences.…”

This study aimed to estimate prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) and associated factors among dental students. In this cross-sectional study, 230 students answered a questionnaire and instruments to assess CMD (Self Reporting Questionnaire-20), hazardous alcohol consumption (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test), social support (Social Support Scale), perceptions of academic life (Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure), coping (Ways of Coping Inventory) and resilience (Resilience Scale). Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney tests. Logistic regression included all explanatory variableswith p<0.20 in the bivariate analysis, besides sex and academic year. The explanatory variables were analyzed in five successive blocks (backward-stepwise), until all variables presented statistical significance in the final model (p<0.05). The prevalence of CMD was 45.2% (95%CI: 38.7–51.6), with no significant differences between sexes. Students with no extracurricular activities, who had negatively self- assessed their health status and their academic performance, were about four times more likely to present CMD, followed by receiving psychological or psychiatric treatment during university (AOR: 2.65; 95%CI: 1.1–6.1) and those with high scores for confrontive coping (AOR: 1.20; 95%CI: 1.0–1.4). Resilience was a protective factor for CMD among dental students (AOR: 0.93; 95%CI: 0.9–1.0). Aspects related to academic performance, health status and confrontive coping strategies were risk factors to students’ mental health. Individuals with high levels of resilience showed lower prevalence of CMD. Further prospective studies could contribute to understanding the role of resilience among this population.

Resumo Esta revisão propôs-se a identificar fatores de risco e proteção para sofrimento psíquico em estudantes universitários. Analisaram-se estudos empíricos nas bases de dados: Web of Science, Medline e Scopus. Foram localizados 1375 artigos e, aplicados os critérios de exclusão, 37 artigos compuseram a amostra final, tendo sido a maioria estudos transversais, publicados nos últimos cinco anos, em países desenvolvidos, com estudantes da área da saúde. Os instrumentos mais utilizados para o rastreamento de sofrimento psíquico foram o General Health Questionnaire e o Self Reporting Questionnarie, que identificaram prevalências de 18,5% a 49,1% e, como fatores de risco, condições relativas à vida acadêmica (24) e à saúde (22). Foram identificadas como fatores de proteção, em doze estudos, apresentar determinadas estratégias de coping, senso de coerência, autoeficácia, vigor, autoestima, resiliência, entre outras condições psicológicas. Essa revisão aponta direções para possíveis intervenções que poderiam contribuir para o bem estar dos estudantes e para estimular vivências mais positivas no ambiente educacional.

“…[26,27] In application, the nursing profession plays an integral role in promoting health and influencing lifestyle choices among patients. [28] Viewing healthy oral health behaviors and hearing positive oral health attitudes spoken from nurse and nurse practitioners can build patients' self-efficacy to perform posi-tive oral health practices themselves. Research demonstrates that nurses who believe in health promotion and embrace healthy behaviors are more likely to be positive role models and teach healthy behaviors to their patients.…”

Background: Oral health access to care issues are resulting in curricular changes to train nursing students as oral health educators and providers. However, little data are available concerning their personal oral health beliefs/behaviors. The study purpose was to gather information from nurse and nurse practitioner students regarding their oral health beliefs and behaviors. Methods: Using the Hiroshima University Dental Behavioural Inventory (HU-DBI), survey data were gathered from nurse and nurse practitioner students as well as dental hygiene students as controls concerning their oral health beliefs and behaviors. Results: Mean HU-DBI scores were higher among nurse practitioner than nursing students, indicating more positive beliefs/behaviors, but both were lower than dental hygiene students. Both nurse and nurse practitioner students reported significantly fewer dental visits and some poorer hygiene practices than controls. Additionally, nursing students were more likely to believe that their teeth were worsening despite brushing. Conclusions: Assessment of personal oral health beliefs/behaviors should occur early in nursing education with mentoring so that optimal modeling can positively impact patients' oral health. Oral health education opportunities within and among disciplines are discussed.
