Abstract(s)
Pequenas ações, inseridas no quotidiano, podem provocar grandes mudanças ao longo do tempo, com um impacto positivo no nosso corpo e mente. A saúde mental não pode estar desconectada da saúde do corpo, pois saúde é uma só. O presente estudo visa entender a importância da pandemia na Saúde Mental (SM) dos jovens trabalhadores, identificar determinantes resultantes da pandemia que afetaram a SM pós confinamento.
O estudo incide numa abordagem de natureza teórica e aplicada. Quanto aos objetivos é exploratório e descritivo. A abordagem é qualitativa e quantitativa. O levantamento de dados realizou-se, através de 3 grupos focais de jovens trabalhadores entre os 18 e os 35 anos, via plataforma zoom. Seguidamente, realizou-se a análise de conteúdo, de forma a interpretar e analisar a informação dos grupos focais referente à situação pós confinamento. Da análise de conteúdo, ressalva-se que as perdas pessoais foram superiores aos ganhos pessoais; a adaptação às novas e antigas rotinas após o confinamento apresentaram aspetos positivos; os participantes delinearam estratégias para lidar com as dificuldades sentidas no pós confinamento como sejam definição de objetivos a curto prazo e aceitação do risco; o terminar do confinamento teve mais aspetos negativos que positivos para os jovens, nomeadamente a quebra e incumprimento de regras referentes à COVID-19 e o medo de serem contagiados e de contagiarem; as consequências para o futuro na Saúde Mental dos jovens passam por adiamento dos objetivos a médio e longo prazo, pela continuidade da ansiedade e incertezas no futuro, essencialmente; perceção de que quem anteriormente à pandemia já sofria de problemas do fórum mental terá dificuldade em aceitar e a compreender como é que a pandemia os pode ter ajudado no aligeiramento da situação.
ABSTRACT - Small actions, inserted in everyday life, can cause big changes over time, with a positive impact on our body and mind. Mental health cannot be disconnected from the health of the body, as health is one. The present study aims to understand the importance of the pandemic in the SM of young working adults, and to identify determinants resulting from the pandemic that affected Mental Health post-confinement. The study focuses on an approach of a theoretical and applied nature, as for the objectives it is exploratory and descriptive as the approach is qualitative and quantitative. Data collection was carried out through 3 focus groups of young working adults between 18 and 35 years old, via the zoom platform. Then, the content analysis was carried out, to interpret and analyze the information from the focus groups regarding the post-confinement situation. According to the results obtained from the content analysis, during the pandemic, personal gains were lower than personal losses; after confinement, the adaptation to new and old routines had positive aspects, however, the negative aspects stand out; participants outlined strategies to deal with post-confinement difficulties, such as setting short-term goals and risk acceptance; the end of confinement had more negative than positive aspects for young people, namely breaking and non-compliance with rules regarding COVID-19 and the fear of being infected and being infected; the consequences for the future on the Mental Health of young people are the postponement of medium and long-term goals, the continuity of anxiety, uncertainties in the future essentially; perception that those who, prior to the pandemic, already suffered from Mental forum problems will find it difficult to accept and understand how the pandemic may have helped them in easing the situation.
