The required training of university teachers has been increasingly affected by changes in world politics, a product of globalization that is giving new profiles to the world of work. This study analyzes the differential perceptions of resilience, daily spiritual experience and self-efficacy of Brazilian university lecturers based on postgraduate academic training. For this reason, a quantitative and cross-sectional study is presented with the participation of 189 lecturers from a private university in the northeast of Brazil. The representations of the participants were evaluated from the answers given to the scales of resilience, daily spiritual experience and self-efficacy of the university lecturers, depending on the postgraduate training. An analysis of the differences based on graduate training suggests that graduate lecturers perceive themselves to be more resilient than their non-doctoral and doctoral peers; that non-doctoral university professors perceive a greater acceptance of life than doctorates; there was no significant differentiation in everyday spiritual experience; Postdoctoral university professors stand out for feeling greater self-efficacy in relation to didactic strategies for lesson planning, didactic strategies to actively involve students, and didactic strategies to promote interaction in the classroom. It is concluded that postgraduate training influences the representations of university professors about the way in which they face the adversities of daily work and how they evaluate their teaching self efficacy. It follows that the promotion of postgraduate training of university professors is of utmost importance, specifically at the postdoctoral level, since this variable can become a determining factor in the quality of the service provided by the university. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Objective: To present the instrument for assessment of health promotion in university (IAPSU) and its reproducibility assessment process. Methods: Cross-sectional study performed between May and July 2014 with 50 students from one university of Fortaleza, CE, which developed the IAPSU through the analysis of governmental documents and a systematic literature review addressing a potentially healthy university. The instrument has 41 questions, divided into five domains: physical activity, feeding, environmental factors, psychosocial factors and alcohol and drugs consumption, complementary and integrative practices. To evaluate the inter-rater reproducibility, the students answered the IAPSU twice, applied by two different examiners; to evaluate the intra-rater reliability, another application of the instrument was performed after seven days. Results: The study comprised 40 students of the Nursing course and 10 of the Physiotherapy course, with mean age of 25 ± 5.4 years; 88% were female and Caucasians were predominant. In the reproducibility assessment, strong intraclass, intra-rater and inter-rater correlation coefficients, over 0.8, were observed in all the assessed domains. Conclusion: The IAPSU is a reproducible and reliable instrument to evaluate health promotion in the university environment. ; Objetivo: Presentar el Instrumento de Evaluación de La Promoción de la Salud de la Universidad (IAPSU) y su proceso de evaluación de reproductibilidad.
