Explorando las percepciones de los estudiantes de la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios (UNIMINUTO) sobre la Salud Mental
Este proyecto explora las percepciones que los estudiantes de la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios (UNIMINUTO) tienen sobre la salud mental, con el fin de crear un producto comunicacional que promueva una comprensión más empática e informada del tema. La investigación surge ante la urgencia y la necesidad de abordar la salud mental en el contexto universitario, donde los estudiantes enfrentan múltiples retos emocionales, sociales y psicológicos, especialmente después de la pandemia de COVID-19. A través de una metodología cualitativa que incluyó talleres participativos, se identificaron experiencias, narrativas colectivas, metáforas, barreras comunicativas y necesidades de los estudiantes al tratar este tema. Uno de los hallazgos más relevantes fue la dificultad para hablar abiertamente de salud mental en el entorno institucional, así como el desconocimiento sobre los procesos para acceder a citas psicológicas, lo que limita el acompañamiento adecuado. En una de las fases del proyecto se implementó una estrategia de creación de afiches, que permitió a los estudiantes expresar sus emociones desde lo visual, generando una experiencia reflexiva e íntima sobre su bienestar mental. Como resultado, se diseñó una serie de postales temáticas organizadas en cinco categorías: dimensiones del bienestar mental (emocional, psicológico y social), representación e identidad, subjetividades, vínculo con los animales y vivencias universitarias. Estas piezas combinan ilustraciones, frases, metáforas y códigos QR, enlaces a campañas y contenidos multimedia, para fortalecer el acceso a información confiable y accesible.
