Cotidiano e saúde: um estudo com estudantes universitários em tempos de pandemia

Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 has generated many changes in the daily lives of people during this last year in which we have been experiencing it, with possible impacts on the various domains of their lives. Thus, the objective of the present study was to identify the perceptions of university students from health courses about the impacts of the pandemic on their daily lives and health. The participants were 44 students from the health campus of the Universidade Federal de Sergipe, in Lagarto, from all courses related to it. It was a transversal, quantitative study that used a questionnaire about Everyday Life and Health in its data collection, sent online to the participants. The data were tabulated and the individual analysis of the variables was carried out. It was observed that, regarding health and daily life, the aspects related to emotions and mood, as well as academic motivation suffered greater changes during the pandemic period, with an increase in feelings such as sadness, anxiety, bad mood, and fear of the future. It is expected that the present study may offer important subsidies for actions with this public.
