Abstract(s)
A entrada na universidade é uma transição importante na vida do estudante que requer
uma adaptação e que poderá influenciar o sucesso ou o fracasso académico. Quando se
verificam dificuldades na adaptação, devido às inseguranças/incertezas ou à gestão de
emoções desta nova etapa na vida do estudante, poderão desenvolver-se perturbações
psicológicas, nomeadamente de ansiedade e stress. O facto de vivermos atualmente numa
situação de quase pós-pandemia também poderá contribuir para o desenvolvimento de
quadros de ansiedade e/ou para o agravamento dos já existentes. Na tentativa de fazer
face a esta problemática da gestão da ansiedade junto do estudante universitário, surge o
projeto “Toolbox: Estudante Universitário – Plataforma Web-interativa”, uma plataforma
de aprendizagem de gestão de ansiedade. O objetivo principal da presente investigação
consiste em perceber se a utilização da plataforma se revelou eficaz na gestão de
ansiedade junto de estudantes universitários. A amostra é constituída por 31 estudantes
universitários da Universidade da Madeira (UMa) e do Instituto Superior Técnico (IST),
com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 47 anos. Os participantes foram distribuídos
em dois grupos: grupo de intervenção (n=17) e grupo de controlo (n=13).
Os resultados mostram que os estudantes sujeitos à intervenção com a plataforma
interativa apresentaram melhorias no seu comprometimento face aos seus estudos e nos
seus níveis de ansiedade no geral.
Joining University is an important transition in the student's life that requires adaptation and can influence academic success or failure. When there are difficulties in adaptation, due to insecurity/uncertainties or due to the management of emotions of this new stage in the student's life, psychological disorders, including anxiety and stress, may develop. The fact that we are currently living in a situation of near post-pandemic conditions may also contribute to the development of anxiety and/or to the aggravation of existing ones. In an attempt to address this problem of anxiety management among university students, the project "Toolbox: University Student – Web-interactive Platform", a platform for learning anxiety management, emerges. The main objective of this research is to understand whether the use of the platform has proved effective in managing anxiety among university students. The sample consists of 31 students from the University of Madeira (UMa) and the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), aged between 19 and 47 years. The participants were divided into two groups: intervention group (n=17) and control group (n=13). The results show that the participants who were subjected to the intervention with the interactive platform showed improvements in their commitment to their studies and in their anxiety levels in general.
