Abstract

Whe mental health of university students is a growing theme in the scientific literature, mainly due to the increased prevalence of psychological disorders. To deepen aspects such as vulnerability, risk and protection factors and consequences for the health of students, we carried out a systematic review of publications from 2009-2019. The chosen databases were: PsycInfo, Dialnet, Scielo Brasil, PePSic, and Web of Science. We analyzed 161 articles. The countries with the largest number of publications were Brazil, United States and Spain. The methodology adopted by most surveys was quantitative, with descriptive, experimental, correlational and cross-sectional designs standing out. Health care students were the ones with the highest frequency of publication and there was a need to validate instruments used for the academic context. Future studies can expand the discussions about academic suicide and also discuss possibilities for prevention, intervention proposals and the mental health in master and doctoral students. © 2022 Universidade Federal do Parana - Departamento de Psicologia.
