Happiness is a positive component of mental well-being. In young university students, it is linked to ideals in many areas, such as physical health, mental health, harmonious inter-personal relationships, academic performance, and professional success. The aim of the study was to compare the happiness of university students from a state and private university according to professional areas and age range.
A descriptive cross-sectional study with selected 312 university students was conducted. The age range was from 17 to 32 years. The two professional areas surveyed were health sciences and engineering. Happiness was measured using a scale with 11 questions and four dimensions [1: Positive sense of life (three questions), 2: Satisfaction with life (three questions), 3: Personal fulfilment (two questions), and 4: Joy of living (three questions)]. The normality of the data was verified. Differences between sexes, areas, universities and ages were verified by t-test for independent samples. Differences between age ranges were verified by Anova.
This study showed that there were no differences in happiness between EU and UP students when compared by gender, professional area, and age ranges.
These results suggest that during the period of university studies, happiness values remain stable in both types of universities.
幸福是心理健康的一个积极组成部分。在年轻的大学生中，它与许多领域的理想相关，如身体健康、心理健康、和谐的人际关系、学业成绩和职业成功。本研究的目的是根据专业领域和年龄范围比较公立大学和私立大学学生的幸福感。
对312名大学生进行了一项描述性横断面研究。年龄范围为17至32岁。调查的两个专业领域是健康科学和工程学。使用一个包含11个问题和四个维度的量表来测量幸福感[1：积极的生活意识（三个问题），2：对生活的满意度（三个问题），3：个人成就感（两个问题），4：生活乐趣（三个问题）]。对数据的正态性进行了验证。通过独立样本t检验验证性别、领域、大学和年龄之间的差异。通过方差分析验证年龄范围之间的差异。
本研究表明，按性别、专业领域和年龄范围比较时，公立大学和私立大学学生在幸福感方面没有差异。
这些结果表明，在大学学习期间，两类大学的幸福值都保持稳定。
