Enquadramento: É necessário refletir sobre os significados sociais, culturais, educacionais e simbólicos da experiência da maternidade e paternidade entre jovens e saber quais são as suas preocupações, desafios, ansiedades e medos. Objetivo: Analisar as perceções de universitários acerca da maternidade e paternidade. Metodologia: Pesquisa quantitativa, exploratória. Utilizou-se um questionário sobre maternidade e paternidade como instrumento de colheita de dados. Os dados foram analisados com recurso ao software IBM SPSS Statistics, versão 24.0. Resultado: Foram aplicados 389 questionários, ao analisá-los, as questões relacionadas a aspetos económicos são a principal preocupação dos estudantes, 93,2% e estes são indiferentes ao apoio institucional oferecido durante o período de graduação. Quanto aos aspetos da maternidade e paternidade que preocupam estes estudantes, quando relacionados com o sexo do participante, tiveram resultados significativos os fatores económicos (p = 0,090) e o seu desenvolvimento pessoal ou profissional (p = 0,020). As demais correlações não foram estatisticamente significativas. Conclusão: Nota-se uma necessidade de articulação entre diversos setores envolvidos na maternidade e paternidade a fim de educar e empoderar os universitários para estratégias de planeamento como fator de proteção à saúde.

Objective: To analyze young university students' perceptions of motherhood and fatherhood. Methodology: Quantitative, exploratory research. Data were collected using a questionnaire on motherhood and fatherhood and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 24.0. Results: A total of 389 questionnaires were applied. The analysis showed that students are mainly concerned with the economic issues (93.2%) and indifferent to the institutional support offered during their undergraduate studies. With regard to the most worrying aspects of motherhood and fatherhood, statistically significant associations were found between gender and economic factors (p = 0.090) and personal or professional development (p = 0.020). No other statistically significant associations were found. Conclusion: There is a need for coordination among the various sectors involved in motherhood and fatherhood in order to educate and empower university students for planning strategies as a health protection factor.

The connection of the University with the community to which it belongs is one of the basic principles on which the former is based. A community will be healthy as long as there are many connections between the individuals and sub-groups that form it. Working on health promotion, talking about participation and participatory models implies the assumption that people and communities have the right to self-manage. Implementing participation will involve opening up possibilities for co-management, autonomy, understanding of dynamic realities, the formalization of alliances, the transformation of contexts, and forms of relationship. It will involve understanding health as a right. Networking is fundamental in an interconnected and global world. Since its inception, the Project of Health Promoting Universities has been built with the participation of the university community towards improving the conditions for health, quality of life and well-being of all members of the community. Universities are ideal scenarios to implement strategies to improve the lifestyles of their members that also transcend to the university spaces and positively affect the lives of people on and off campus. The networks of Health Promoting Universities in Latin America were institutionalized in 2003, and took the form of the Ibero-American Network of Health Promoting Universities in 2007 within the framework of the third Conference on Health Promoting Universities held in the city of Juarez, Mexico. In 2008, the Spanish Network of Healthy Universities was created in Spain, in order to enhance the role of universities as environments that promote the health and well-being of their students, their staff and society, leading and supporting processes of social change.
