Confinamento domiciliar, qualidade de vida e desempenho acadêmico de estudantes de psicologia durante a pandemia do novo coronavírus

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the influence of the pandemic on quality of life and its relationship with the permanence of students enrolled in the Psychology course at the AC Simões campus of the Federal University of Alagoas and the realization of this research objective led to this Academic Work of Course Completion. It was used a quantitative methodology, through the application of structured questionnaires to map the situational and sociodemographic profile and the perception of quality of life as well as its meanings in the face of the new coronavirus pandemic. 59 students participated in this research, 49 female and 10 male, enrolled between the 2nd and 10th semesters of the course. The research results are presented in an original article entitled: “Home confinement, quality of life and academic performance of psychology students during the new coronavirus pandemic”. Students reported their current scenario, outlined the profile and discussed parameters that made the development of academic demands and perception of quality of life more complex. Based on the research results, it was possible to reflect and dialogue about care practices and new procedures for the functioning of classes, learning and administrative components, adopting virtuality to replace face-to-face care. To mitigate part of the gaps, a digital manual was developed to guide students on administrative procedures during training, which prioritizes the virtuality of processes and referrals to administrative procedures during graduation, in a simple, practical and safe way during and after remote activities. Considering all care directly correlated with COVID-19, reflections on education, livelihood, behaviors, human relationships and all efforts to mitigate and protect life and the effects of the pandemic are considered.
