RESUMO

The study time at the university is reported as a risky phase for problematic use of alcohol (UPA) as well for common mental disorders (TMC). It is important to evaluate the topic of co-occurrence of UPA and TMC amongst university students considering that this topic has been scarcely mentioned in scientific papers. This cross-sectional study used the AUDIT and SRQ-20 screening instruments in order to assess the prevalence of UPA and TMC and the co-occurrence of UPA and TMC in a sample of university students of the health area, characterized by mean of age of 22 years and mostly female (65.6%). Also it examined the association between these conditions and their relationship with satisfaction regarding aspects of the academic life. The prevalence of UPA was of 23.5%, TMC of 30.6% and co-occurrence of UPA and TMC of 7.3%. The average total score of AUDIT was of 4.8 (SD=4.42) and the SRQ-20 of 4.0 (SD=4.0). Significant associations of TMC as well the co-occurrence between UPA and TMC have been found with: - dissatisfaction with the selected career, dissatisfaction with the academic program and dissatisfaction with the own performance as student. No correlation between UPA and TMC has been found in this sample. The co-occurrence of UPA and TMC is present amongst undergraduate students and its consequences are mental health problems and frustration with academic achievements which occurring in this important phase of life it can impair the future of these young people. The findings of this study shall be carefully interpreted concerning its generality, considering the type of the study being a cross-sectional screening study on a population of young adults.
