Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo explorar a relação entre o uso das tecnologias de saúde digitais aplicadas à saúde mental, a literacia em saúde mental e o uso dos meios de comunicação eletrónicos por parte de jovens estudantes universitários. A amostra englobou 139 participantes e foi utilizado um protocolo composto por um questionário sociodemográfico e de caraterização do uso das Tecnologias de Saúde Digitais (TSD) aplicadas à saúde mental, pelo Media Activity Form e pelo Questionário de literacia em saúde mental (LSM) - versão jovem adulto. Os principais resultados deste estudo sugerem que os motivos para o uso das TSD aplicadas à saúde mental parecem estar associados aos diferentes níveis de LSM e que os participantes que estão mais disponíveis para procurar informação de “competências de 1ª ajuda e comportamentos de procura de ajuda” revelam menos estereótipos associados aos problemas de saúde mental. Os participantes que usam as TSD aplicadas à saúde mental para “estratégias de autoajuda” tendem a percecionar um menor impacto negativo dos MCE. Estes resultados realçam o papel das TSD aplicadas à saúde mental no desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção de LSM, sendo necessários estudos que possam aprofundar esta temática.
This study aim to explore the relationship between the use of digital health technologies applied to mental health, mental health literacy and the use of electronic media by university students. The sample included 139 participants and a protocol consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire and characterization of the use of Digital Health Technologies (DHT) applied to mental health, the Media Activity Form and a questionnaire on mental health literacy (MHL) - young adult version. The main results obtained from this study suggest that the reasons for the use of DHT applied to mental health seem to be associated with the different levels of MHL and that the participants who are more willing to search for information on “help-seeking and first aid skills” disclose fewer stereotypes associated with mental health issues. The participants who use DHT applied to mental health for “self-help strategies” tend to perceive a lesser negative impact from electronic media. There results highlight the role of DHT applied to mental health in the development of interventions that promote MHL, which requires studies that can enlighten this theme.
