O objetivo foi investigar distúrbios do sono e fatores sociodemográficos e comportamentais associados. Foi realizado um censo com universitários. Perguntas extraídas do Munich Chronotype Questionnaire investigaram: duração insuficiente do sono (< 6 horas/dia para < 65 anos e < 5 horas/dia para os demais), latência longa (> 30 minutos), baixa qualidade autopercebida, despertares noturnos (involuntários, no meio da noite) e sonolência diurna (dificuldade de concentração). Variáveis independentes englobaram características sociodemográficas e comportamentais. Análises ajustadas foram feitas com regressão de Poisson. Dos 1.865 estudantes, 32% apresentaram sono insuficiente nos dias de aula, 8,2% sono insuficiente nos finais de semana, 18,6% latência longa nos dias de aula, 17,2% latência longa nos finais de semana, 30% baixa qualidade autopercebida, 12,7% despertares noturnos e 32,2% sonolência diurna. O maior consumo de álcool esteve associado à duração insuficiente e latência longa nos dias de aula, baixa qualidade, despertares e sonolência; tabagismo com duração insuficiente nos finais de semana, despertares e baixa qualidade; e cor da pele preta ou parda com duração insuficiente nos dias de aula, baixa qualidade e despertares. Ter aulas de manhã associou-se a sono insuficiente nos dias de aula e sonolência diurna, e o sexo feminino, sonolência, baixa qualidade e despertares. Os distúrbios de sono mais frequentes foram sono insuficiente nos dias de aula, baixa qualidade autopercebida e sonolência diurna. O consumo de álcool e cigarros e a cor preta ou parda foram os principais fatores associados aos distúrbios.

IntroductionThe prevalence of common mental disorders among medical students is globally high. However, medical students tend to seek less professional help to treat their mental health issues. Hence, ways have been devised to reduce emotional stress in this population.ObjectiveThe current study uses positive psychology techniques to increase subjective well-being (SWB) in order to reduce symptons of common mental disorders (CMD) in medical students (MS).MethodsThe study comprised two groups: intervention group (n = 37) and control group (n = 32). Throughout seven weeks, the intervention group had meetings focused on emotions, mental health of medical students, gratitude, appreciation, optimism, resilience, qualities and virtues. The control group attended conventional medical psychology classes (psychosomatic aspects in clinical illness, for example).ResultsThe intervention group presented average increase by 2.85 points in the positive emotions scale; average increase by 2.53 points in the satisfaction-with-life scale; and average decrease by 1.79 points in the SRQ-20 scale, when it was compared to the control group. The intervention effect size was moderate.ConclusionUse of techniques to increase SWB may reduce CMD in MS, even if these techniques do not diminish negative emotions.

“…However, literature is scarce when considering anxiety in the general Brazilian population. Recent studies reported moderate to high levels of anxiety in specific groups, such as students (Carpena et al, 2019;Machado et al, 2018), and patients with chronic diseases (Buin et al, 2020;Soler et al, 2019). Nevertheless, the predictors of anxiety may change in a pandemic situation ( € Ozdin & Bayrak € Ozdin, 2020).…”

We investigated the fear of COVID-19 infection after proper translation and cultural adaptation of the "Fear of COVID-19 Scale" to the Brazilian Portuguese language. A sample of 1,743 Brazilian participants were included. The scale showed excellent psychometric characteristics. Women showed higher anxiety levels. Fear of COVID-19 scores were lower in males with occupational risk of contamination. On the other hand, women and younger individuals showed higher fear of COVID-19 infection scores. The Brazilian Fear of COVID-19 Scale proved to be a reliable tool with excellent psychometric properties for identifying fear of COVID-19 infection in the Brazilian population.
