Universidade e estágio: o impacto da dupla jornada no bem-estar de universitários da Universidade Federal do Pampa que realizam estágio

Abstract

In the academic and work spheres, individuals may face difficulties in reconciling daily demands, encountering challenges to maintain a positive quality of life while managing an accumulation of tasks. Thus, those who live this double shift may experience stress inducing factors, feeling dissatisfied, which in some cases increases stress levels and affects well-being. This is the main theme of this research. The objective of this study was to analyze how the double shift affects the well-being of students at the Federal University of Pampa who are undertaking internships. The article aimed to achieve its goal through a mixed-methods approach, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative phases. After analyzing the responses, the main results showed positive well-being indices and low stress levels. However, despite the majority indicating positive indices, some median results were observed for well-being and moderate to concerning levels for stress. Despite the challenges posed by the double shift, the results indicate that most students are managing to balance work and university life. This highlights the importance of being in a work and academic environment where one feels comfortable and satisfied,
