RESUMO:

Research problem: What are higher education student’s self-efficacy beliefs and how do they relate to problem-coping strategies and indicators of psychological distress? Objective: To analyze the self-efficacy indicators perceived by higher education students and their relationship with coping strategies and psychological distress. Materials and methods: This is an epidemiological survey with a survey design, carried out with students at the Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso in the period 2017 and 2018. Data were collected through an online self-administered questionnaire that was sent in the students' emails, containing sociodemographic issues, life habits and academic factors. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess the students' psychological distress indicators, and the Coping Strategies Inventory was used to assess coping strategies. The Perceived Self-Efficacy scale was used to assess the beliefs that the individual has about their ability to successfully perform a given activity. These data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. To calculate associations between sociodemographic variables and associated factors, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA H test were used, and between psychological distress, coping, self-efficacy and associated factors, and Spearman's Correlation, all at a significance level of 5%, using the SPSS 25.0 statistical program. And for association between the categorical variables, the Multiple Correspondence Analysis was used in the program RStudio 4.1.2. Results: 669 students participated in the research. The dimensions of self-efficacy were proportional to each other and to the approach and negative coping strategies with avoidance. The best perceptions of initiative self-efficacy were in students who did not practice physical activity (3.31), did not use tobacco (3.25) and never failed (3.24). For effort, students who presented symptoms suggestive of depression (3.21) and did not use alcohol (3.20) and for persistence, were heterosexual students (2.44) and did not use tobacco (2.44). Studying 3 hours or more outside class was significant in all dimensions (3.32, 3.22 and 2.47, respectively). And that there were characteristics of the student, the course, performance and contentment and life habits and studies that were associated with the probable diagnoses of anxiety and/or depression and that self-efficacy was a mediator of the diagnoses. Final considerations: The factors female gender, age group between 24 and 29 years old, being part of other campuses, of courses other than health courses, final stage of the course, not practicing physical activity were academic factors that were associated with both the probable diagnosis of anxiety, how much depression. And that there is a need to implement psychological assistance actions with an emphasis on self-efficacy and programs aimed at the practice of physical activity for students since the beginning of graduation and for the entire academic community.
