Abstract

Introduction: The difficulties and pressure of the last year of graduation can negatively affect the mental health of university students.
Objective: To verify the level of stress and mood in Physical Education students in the last year of graduation.
Methods: The sample consisted of 38 students (age: 25,51 ± 4,24 years), graduating from the Physical Education course. Stress Perception Scale questionnaires PSS14 and Brunel's mood scale, respectively, were used to analyze the level of stress and mood. Results: Friedman's non-parametric inferential test found that there is a significant difference (p<0,001) between stress levels: Never (4,94%), Almost Never (15,02), Sometimes (23,87), Uncommon (23,46) and Very frequent (32,72) and among the responses to the mood questionnaire (p=0,026) with: Nothing (38,27), Little (17,65), Moderately (16,23), Quite (14,36) and Extremely (13,49). Conclusion: In view of the results of the investigation, we concluded that the study participants were in conditions of stress, however they did not exhibit loss of mood.
