Caracterização dos estudantes universitários atendidos no serviço escola de psicologia da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande.

Abstract

The present study aims to characterize the profile of undergraduate students attending the School of Psychology Service of the Federal University of Campina Grande - Campus I. The main initial complaints brought by them were investigated in order to provide relevant information about their needs, besides subsidizing important information about the incidence of psychic suffering among undergraduates. The research was carried out by means of the survey and analysis of sociodemographic variables cataloged in the screening sheets contained in the documentary collection of the institution, covering the period from November 2014 (beginning of operation of said Service) to December 2017. It was possible to identify that the greater frequency is for women, aged between 20 and 29 years; presenting complaints regarding academic and (or) professional life; relationship problems; anxiety and mood disorders; and suicidal ideation; In addition, the predominant search is characterized as spontaneous. This survey is indispensable for the understanding of the type of psychic suffering that has affected the students, as well as to think about appropriate intervention strategies for this public.
