Emotional health represents a significant burden on the mental health of university students. Adapting to a new learning environment and facing increased academic pressure make this period particularly vulnerable for their emotional health and well-being. The objective of the study was to analyse the prevalence of emotional and behavioural problems in university students and their association with lifestyle habits, and mental and physical health indicators. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 1268 students (23.65 ± 7.84 years) from a university in northern Spain during November 2020 and March 2021. An online questionnaire was administered, comprising the self-report Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire, the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, the SENTIA-Brief Scale, the KIDMED questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, and the Compulsive Internet Use Scale. 27.60% of students exhibited some form of emotional and behavioural problem. Students who did not present emotional and behavioural problems showed lower perceived stress, reduced suicidal behaviour and emotional intelligence deficits, as well as lower alcohol consumption and compulsive internet use ( < 0.001). Additionally, they reported higher engagement in physical activity and greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet ( < 0.001). The study shows that emotional and behavioural problems are recurring among university students, and given that modifiable psychosocial and lifestyle factors are associated with these issues, it underscores the need to develop multidisciplinary intervention strategies.
情绪健康给大学生的心理健康带来了巨大负担。适应新的学习环境以及面临日益增加的学业压力，使得这一时期他们的情绪健康和幸福感特别容易受到影响。本研究的目的是分析大学生情绪和行为问题的患病率及其与生活方式习惯、心理和身体健康指标的关联。2020年11月至2021年3月期间，对西班牙北部一所大学的1268名学生（23.65±7.84岁）进行了一项横断面研究。采用了一份在线问卷，包括自陈式长处与困难问卷、特质元情绪量表、罗森伯格自尊量表、生活满意度量表、感知压力量表、SENTIA简表、KIDMED问卷、国际体力活动问卷简表、酒精使用障碍识别测试和强迫性网络使用量表。27.60%的学生表现出某种形式的情绪和行为问题。未出现情绪和行为问题的学生表现出较低的感知压力、较少的自杀行为和情商缺陷，以及较低的酒精消费和强迫性网络使用（<0.001）。此外,他们报告称参与体育活动的程度更高，对地中海饮食的依从性更强（<0.001）。该研究表明，情绪和行为问题在大学生中反复出现，鉴于可改变的心理社会和生活方式因素与这些问题相关，这凸显了制定多学科干预策略的必要性。
