Nível de ansiedade em estudantes dos cursos de educação física, psicologia e medicina: revisão integrativa

Abstract

The general objective of the study was to analyze whether there is a difference between physical education, psychology and medicine courses related to anxiety levels. Study method: theoretical integrative review research was used, considering original studies, in the period 2010-2023, that addressed anxiety disorders among students in health courses, more specifically, physical education, psychology and medicine. The results showed that during the academic period, 15% and 29% of university students may present with an anxiety disorder. Entering university is considered an experience that generates anxiety due to the transition that studying represents. Therefore, it is essential to understand how students deal with adversity and difficulties at university, as well as the impact of anxiety on mental health. Therefore, it can be concluded that understanding how students deal with stress and anxiety is crucial for developing effective coping strategies and providing specific resources to help them manage the pressure of university life in a healthy way.
