Abstract: Background: Personal emotions and affects have been identified and studied in the context of pandemics, as well as coping strategies centered on emotional regulation or the balance between positive and negative emotions. Objectives: The objectives of this paper are to identify an emotion and affect structure in our sample and analyze the relationship of these dimensions with resilient coping in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This study employed a cross-sectional design that involved a non-probabilistic sample with 598 participants over the age of 18, with 51.1% being female, and an average age of 40.73 years. First, the emotional structure was identified through principal component analysis (PCA). Secondly, a linear regression analysis was performed to investigate emotional dimensions as predictors of coping. Results: A valid and reliable emotional structure with four dimensions was identified. The regression model revealed that coping is positively associated with the active and positive dimension and negatively correlated with the negative and moral dimensions. Conclusions: Emotional dimensions are predictors of coping, with moral and negative dimensions having a negative effect, while active and positive dimensions have a positive effect. When designing interventions for coping strategies, multiple dimensions of emotions and affective states in people who are in vulnerable situations must be considered.</summary>

Authors: Nogueira, Maria José
Abstract: O presente trabalho tem como objectivo versar sobre a vulnerabilidade mental na transição para adultícia no contexto contemporâneo da informação em saúde. Foi apresentado sob a forma de conferência proferida no III Congresso SPESM: Informação e Saúde Mental, partindo dos conceitos-chave. A vulnerabilidade mental, é a tendência de experimentar sintomas psicossomáticos e dificuldades nas relações interpessoais, e os indivíduos mentalmente vulneráveis apresentam tanto &#xD;
sintomas somáticos como mentais e dificuldades na socialização e relação com os outros, que comprometem o seu bem-estar e a sua saúde. A transição para Adultícia é uma etapa do desenvolvimento humano onde convergem tarefas desenvolvimentais de grande complexidade e factores que favorecem uma condição de maior vulnerabilidade ao sofrimento e ao adoecer mental, e pode ser sentida como ameaçadora e vivida com muita ansiedade, comprometendo a saúde mental. O cuidado de enfermagem&#xD;
visa facilitar os momentos transacionais que imprimem desequilíbrios, e que geram simultaneamente, respostas positivas e negativas. Para a prática de enfermagem as actividades de Informação em Saúde são determinantes para antecipar e disponibilizar cuidados promotores de comportamentos mais saudáveis, e para conceber estratégias de intervenção ajustadas às necessidades e peculiaridades dos jovens em transição para adultícia, visando favorecer uma transição harmoniosa e fomentar&#xD;
uma saúde mental positiva.&#xD;
A vulnerabilidade é um conceito genericamente definido como a possibilidade de ser ferido ou de estar em perigo, deriva etomologicamente do latim vulnus (eris) que significa ferida e vulnerare (verbo) provocar um dano, uma injúria (Barchifontaine, 2006). O conceito de vulnerabilidade foi associado pela primeira vez à saúde, no contexto da epidemia AIDS, por Mann e colaboradores, quando publicou, em 1992, o livro "Aids in the world" nos Estados Unidos (Ayres, 1999).</summary>

Abstract: Introduction:&#xD;
 Positive mental health can be defined as a value in &#xD;
itself (feeling good) or as a capacity to perceive, understand and &#xD;
interpret the context, to adapt and alter it, if necessary, in order &#xD;
to promote its autonomy, integration and adaptation. University &#xD;
students are exposed to a group of variables that generate stress. &#xD;
Healthcare professionals must proceed to an evaluation of their &#xD;
mental health in order to intervene in the most vulnerable students, thus developing their capacity to deal with adversity and &#xD;
increase their levels of mental health.&#xD;
Objectives: &#xD;
To evaluate the levels of mental health and vulnerability of Higher Education students.&#xD;
Methods: &#xD;
This is a quantitative descriptive and explanatory cross-correlated study with a non-probability convenience sample of &#xD;
2,238 students of universities in Portugal and Spain. The evaluation &#xD;
protocol includes a socio-demographic questionnaire, the scale of &#xD;
vulnerability and a questionnaire of positive mental health. The &#xD;
tools are validated in Portugal and Spain, with good psychometrics &#xD;
properties (Lluch, 1999; Sequeira et al., 2014).&#xD;
Results: &#xD;
The 2,238 students have an average age of 21 years old, &#xD;
with 225 (11.4%) being from the male gender and 1975 (88.2%) from &#xD;
the female gender. 217 (9.7%) claim to have a physical health problem and 58 (2.6%) a mental health problem. In terms of positive &#xD;
mental health, 912 (40.9%) seem to claim to have difficulties in &#xD;
establishing satisfactory interpersonal relationships; 1,141 (51.1%) &#xD;
claim to see their future with pessimism and 969 (43.4%) feel insecure when making decisions.&#xD;
Conclusions: &#xD;
Nursing students find themselves in situations of bigger vulnerability and so they need intervention in the level of mental health promotion to minimize the risk of falling ill.</summary>
