Resumo(s)
Em dezembro de 2019 foi descoberta uma nova estirpe do coronavírus, o COVID19, uma doença respiratória que pode ter consequências mortais. No ensino superior
observou-se o encerramento de universidades e campus universitários, tendo-se
interrompido as aulas presenciais e passando ao ensino online de emergência, num
processo de adaptação sem precedentes de toda a comunidade educativa. Além das
óbvias consequências financeiras que este processo teve, também devemos ter em
consideração as consequências ao nível pessoal, académico e social junto dos alunos. A
saúde mental dos estudantes foi seriamente afetada, devido ao isolamento, aos
sentimentos de incerteza no futuro, tendo aumentado, por exemplo, os indicies de
ansiedade e sentimentos depressivos. Deste modo, este estudo teve como objetivo estudar
quais os principais fatores de stress académico vividos durante o período da pandemia
pelos estudantes de ensino superior e quais as principais formas de coping por eles
utilizadas para fazer face a esse stress. Ao mesmo tempo foi avaliado o envolvimento
académico neste período, de acordo com as próprias percepções dos alunos. Para tal foi
desenvolvido um estudo misto, qualitativo e correlacional, mediante a aplicação de um
questionário sobre a adaptação dos estudantes universitários às alterações associadas ao
Covid-19 a 203 estudantes do ensino superior. Os resultados mostraram que os principais
fatores de stress académico se relacionaram com um aumento do trabalho, com o próprio
isolamento, alterações relativamente às aulas e à avaliação, falta de organização da
instituição, assim como as dificuldades relativas às aulas online. Para enfrentar estes
fatores de stress, os alunos desenvolveram estratégias de coping maioritariamente
baseados na resolução de problemas. No que concerne ao envolvimento os alunos que
apresentaram mais estratégias de coping encontravam-se mais envolvidos nos estudos,
sendo que estes eram, maioritariamente, os alunos mais velhos.
In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was discovered, a respiratory disease that can have deadly consequences. In higher education, universities and campuses have been closed and face-to-face classes have been discontinued, moving on to emergency online learning, in an unprecedented adaptation process for the entire educational community. Apart from the obvious financial consequences that this process had, we must also take into consideration the consequences on a personal, academic, and social level with the students. The students' mental health was seriously affected, due to isolation, feelings of uncertainty about the future, increased anxiety, and depressive feelings. Thus, this study aims to study the main factors of academic and personal stress experienced during the pandemic period by higher education students and the main coping factors to cope with this stress. At the same time, the students' engagement and academic performance during this period were also assessed, according to their own perceptions. To this end, we developed a study based on a quantitative methodological paradigm and applied a questionnaire on college students' adjustment to the changes associated with Covid-19 to 203 higher education students. The results showed that the main stressors are related to an increase of work, the students' own isolation, changes regarding classes and assessment, lack of organization of the institution, as well as difficulties regarding online classes. To cope with these stressors, students develop coping strategies mostly based on problem-solving. About engagement, students who show more coping strategies are more involved in their studies, and these are mostly older students.
