Resumo
Escopo. Conhecer os sintomas psicológicos de maior prevalência, as diferencias de gênero e a incidência de casos numa amostra
de estudantes universitários do Equador. Metodologia. Estudo descritivo, epidemiológico e comparativo por gênero, de corte
transversal por meio da Escada de Saúde Geral de Goldberg (GHQ-28). Participara, 444 estudantes de três universidades do
Equador (57% mulheres e 43% homens), entre os 17 e os 34 anos de idade (M= 21.4 anos, DE= 2.2). Resultados. Os sintomas
psicológicos de sintomatização e disfunção social predominaram na amostra. Além, foram achadas diferencias por gênero t(442)
= 2.24; p < 0.05, com maior concentração nos homens. O 24% dos participantes cumpriram os critérios de caso provável, devido
aos sintomas presentes neles, e requerem supervisão e intervenção psicológica. Discussão. Um segmento da população universitária
equatoriana é vulnerável às alterações de saúde mental; além, o gênero incide no diferencial de sintomas psicológicos, com maior
presença em homens no que em mulheres.
