This study aimed to evaluate positive mental health (PMH) and its relation with sociodemographic characteristics, mental health literacy, and the psychological vulnerability scale (PVS) in Portuguese university students aged 17 to 62. A descriptive correlational study was carried out. An online survey was conducted to evaluate demographic variables, and several questionnaires were applied to evaluate positive mental health, psychological vulnerability, and mental health literacy. The data was collected from 1 November 2019 to 1 September 2020. Overall, 3405 students participated in the study. The results show that 67.8% of students revealed a high level of PMH, 31.6% presented a medium level of PMH, and 0.6% had a low level of PMH. Male students reported higher personal satisfaction ( (3170) = -2.39, = 0.017) and autonomy ( (3170) = -3.33, = 0.001) in PMH compared to female students. Students without a scholarship scored higher ( (3127) = -2.04, = 0.42) in PMH than students who held a scholarship. Students who were not displaced from their home reported higher ( (3170) = -1.99, = 0.047) self-control in PMH than those displaced from their home. University students with higher PMH results had lower PVS results and higher literacy results. The findings of this study will contribute to identifying students' PMH intervention needs.
本研究旨在评估17至62岁葡萄牙大学生的积极心理健康（PMH）及其与社会人口学特征、心理健康素养和心理易损性量表（PVS）的关系。开展了一项描述性相关性研究。通过在线调查评估人口统计学变量，并应用几份问卷评估积极心理健康、心理易损性和心理健康素养。数据收集时间为2019年11月1日至2020年9月1日。总体而言，3405名学生参与了该研究。结果显示，67.8%的学生表现出较高水平的积极心理健康，31.6%表现出中等水平，0.6%表现出较低水平。与女生相比，男生在积极心理健康方面的个人满意度更高（（3170）=-2.39，P = 0.017），自主性更强（（3170）=-3.33，P = 0.001）。没有奖学金的学生在积极心理健康方面的得分（（3127）=-2.04，P = 0.42）高于有奖学金的学生。未离家的学生在积极心理健康方面的自我控制能力得分更高（（3170）=-1.99，P = 0.047），高于离家的学生。积极心理健康结果较高的大学生，其心理易损性量表结果较低，心理健康素养结果较高。本研究结果将有助于确定学生积极心理健康干预的需求。
