Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted from March to April 2018, at a federal university. Sample composed of 242 Nursing students, from the 1st to the 8th semester. Data was collected using the quality of life instruments, Beck Depression Inventory and Self-Report Questionnaire. A significance level of 0.05 was considered. Results: The mean age was 22.9 ± 5.1 years. It was found that 25% of the students had severe depressive symptoms and 54% of the students had minor psychiatric disorders, with a higher prevalence in the first semesters. An inverse relationship was observed between the frequency of depressive symptoms and quality of life scores (p = 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing students showed a high prevalence of depressive symptoms, indicating the importance of implementing actions to promote and prevent mental health.

ackground Chronic pain leads to functional and social disability, emotionally impacting individuals. Objective: To describe the main impairments of activities of daily living, anxious and depressive symptoms and quality of life in patients with chronic pain. Methods: Cross-sectional study with patients at the Chronic Pain Clinic attended between June / 2016 and March / 2019. Clinical and socio-demographic variables were collected, using the Hospital scale for Anxiety and Depression, Visual Numerical Scale for Pain, SF-36 scale for Quality of Life, and data analysis using the SPSS statistical program. Results: The mean age was 50.0±10 years, being (89.6%) female. There was a predominance of people with a partner, with religion, complete high school education and unemployed. Degenerative disease was the most frequent diagnosis (68.9%); pain intensity ranged from moderate to severe, score 6-8 (7). Most used drugs were analgesics (93.3%) followed by antidepressants (70.7%). Physical activity as an adjuvant treatment (41.5%), and anesthetic blocks (39.6%). When investigating daily activities, the work showed total limitation followed by movement; and, partially, leisure and home activity. The quality of life was well below the median, with the physical and emotional aspects being worse. Related to the subjects' activities, sleep is the most compromised; followed by partial difficulties with appetite and sexual activity. Most show self-esteem moderately satisfied with the treatment, even with anxious and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Pain has a very significant impact on quality of life; compromises and limits daily activities and reveals more presence of anxious and depressive symptoms in people suffering from chronic pain.

Abstract Objectives Studies on quality of life (QoL) and academic resilience among nursing students during the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic remain underreported. This study investigated the relationship between nursing students’ QoL and academic resilience and their predictors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A descriptive survey, cross-sectional study that used two self-reported questionnaire scales to evaluate the QoL and academic resilience of Filipino nursing students (n=924). Chi-squared test and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results There was no significant association between the QoL and academic resilience to participants’ profile variables. Gender and year level of nursing students were significant predictors of QoL and academic resilience. Conclusions Our study concludes that a better understanding of the QoL and academic resilience, which are two distinct concepts critical in developing a student’s mental well-being, will help stakeholders in nursing education establish effective psychoeducation programs for nursing students.
