RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Movement behaviours, such as sedentary behavior (SB) and physical inactivity, have become a public health issue due to their implications for physical and mental health. The literature indicates that the university environment influences the movement behaviors of university students, and the strategies adopted during the pandemic may have favored a decrease in the practice of physical activity and an increase in the time dedicated to SB in this population. We aimed to evaluate the association of SB and moderate to vigorous leisure-time physical activity (MVPA) with presence of symptoms of mental disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This is a multicenter survey conducted with undergraduate students from eight Brazilian universities between October 2021 and February 2022 using an online questionnaire. The outcome variable was symptoms of anxiety and depression, assessed by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21. SB was assessed by total sitting time, being that individuals with ≥ 9 h/day were classified with high SB. The practice of MVPA was evaluated based on weekly frequency, duration, and type of exercise. Subsequently, the ratio between the time spent in MVPA (minutes/day) and the time spent in SB (hours/day) was calculated, being considered as cutoff point was the practice of 2.5 min of MVPA for each sedentary hour. To assess the association between the outcome and explanatory variables, multivariable logistic regression was performed. RESULTS: A total of 8,650 students participated in the study, with an average age of 23.9 years (SD: ± 6.34). In the multivariate analysis, the odds of anxiety symptoms [OR: 1.37 (95% CI: 1.24-1.50)] and depression [OR: 1.61 (95% CI: 1.47-1.77)] were higher in individuals with ≥ 9 h of SB per day. In the analysis of the relationship between MVPA and SB, not engaging in 2.5 min of MVPA per hour of SB increases the odds of anxiety symptoms [OR: 1.44 (95% CI: 1.31-1.58)] and depression [OR: 1.74 (95% CI: 1.59-1.92)]. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that SB is a risk factor associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression and that not engaging in MVPA exacerbates the negative effects of SB.

O presente relato de experiência narra a vivência de inserção de discentes, preceptores e tutores na Atenção Primária à Saúde a partir do Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde - PET-Saúde/GraduaSUS no município de Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais. O grupo tutorial atuou no cotidiano de uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família e realizou diagnóstico e avaliação das fragilidades locais, em conjunto com a equipe de saúde e a comunidade. Em seguida, a partir da construção do planejamento, foi implantado um projeto de intervenção que focou na ampliação do acesso da população às informações sobre a Atenção Primária à Saúde, controle social e Sistema Único de Saúde e na reativação do Conselho Local de Saúde. Ficou evidente a necessidade da continuidade das ações e do fortalecimento da integração ensino-serviço-comunidade, com foco em processos de educação permanente, formação em saúde no cenário de prática, empoderamento dos usuários e melhoria da qualidade e acesso ao SUS.
This present report brings the students' insertion experience, preceptors and tutors in the Primary Health Care Program of Education for Work and Health - PET-Saúde / GraduaSUS in the City of Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais. The group followed the daily life of Family Health Strategy and carried out diagnoses and evaluations of the challenges, working together with the community. Through a carefully constructed plan, an intervention project was implemented. It was focused on expanding the population access to information on Primary Health Care, social control and the Unified Health System and the reactivation of the Local Health Council. It was evident that there is the need of continuity actions and the strengthening of teaching-service-community integration, focusing on processes of permanent education, health education in practices scenarios, empowerment of users and improvement of quality and access to SUS.
