Abstract

ARAUJO, Alex Viana de; VIEIRA, Fernanda David  and  MANFROI, Edi Cristina. Overview of the brazilian scientific literature on mental health at university: a systematic review. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2023, vol.28, e023011.  Epub Sep 05, 2023. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772023000100015.

In order to understand the phenomenon in the work context of Higher Education Institutions, this systematic literature review analyzed the national publications in the period between 2011 and 2021. The survey of the academic production occurred in the CAPES Periodicals, SciELO, Regional Portal of the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Pepsic. Only 35 articles met the inclusion criteria. The majority addressed subjects related to the mental health of public employees in the academic environment were: productivity and common mental disorders, mental suffering/illness, other mental disorders, burnout syndrome, work context and mental health. Moreover, the results point to a greater number of publications in the year 2020, concentrated in health area journals, empirical, quantitative studies, carried out mostly in public educational institutions, preferably with professors, with predominance in the southeastern region of the country. There are gaps by region, theme and professional category, which requires greater research efforts in the area to better understand the theme.

Keywords : mental health; public servants; higher education.
