Study of mental health in university students of the social health Branch

Abstract

The stigma and the recurrent prejudies around the mental health continues existing in the globalised and well informed society of the XXI century. We cannot forget the opacity presented by the population in the face of any kind of mental health problem. It is well accepted in our tecnological enviroment and mainly in this pandemic stage all the phisical ilnesses, on the contrary mental health is not recognised as an disease by many people in our society. Because of all that, the main end point of this investigation is to analize the possible impact of mental health and a possitive aproach of itself in a students’ group of health occupations. It is well known that the capacity and formation of these future professionals has encouraged the research in relation to the necessity of identify vocational roles and intrinsic motivation for the professional performance; all that has been proved in this narrative review, where the students of health occupations show a higher prevalence of mental diseases than other students. Besides, it has been analize that the students of this areas of knowledge are more inclined to develop depression, anxiety or alcoholic addiction; this situation tends to get worse, as we have seen in more than 50 articles, over the passing time. The scenario is very relevant to consider, mainly because of the high exigencies of this degrees and the lack of valuable response offered by the institutions of Higher Education. As we can see, the knowledge of these cirncunstances is vital, and not only because it affects the student’s productivity, it also darkens their professional future in the W.H.O. terms of total “life’s quality”
