to identify the presence of stress and depression among final year students of two nursing courses, and the association between these variables.
an exploratory-descriptive study, undertaken with final-year students from the Bachelor's degree and Licenciate's degree courses at the Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing, of the University of São Paulo. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were applied.
of the total of 88 participants in the study, 69.8% have no depression, 18.2% presented dysphoria, 6.8% moderate depression, and 5.7% severe depression, which is a low rate compared to the general population. Medium stress levels were the most frequent (76.9%). There was no significant statistical difference in the stress score between the two groups of students (Student's t-test: p=0.295>0.05). The data showed a relation between the stress and the presence of indicative signs of depression, especially severe depression (Pearson: r-0.755 and p<0.01).
The majority did not show signs of depression. The depressive states found among the students on the two courses accompanied proportionately those who obtained high stress scores, as recorded by other studies on this issue.
Students with higher levels of stress are more prone to present depression, deserving educators' attention.
确定两门护理课程的最后一年学生中压力和抑郁的存在情况，以及这些变量之间的关联。
一项探索性描述性研究，对圣保罗大学里贝朗普雷图护理学院护理学学士学位和执照学位课程的最后一年学生进行。应用了感知压力量表（PSS）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）。
在该研究的88名参与者中，69.8%没有抑郁，18.2%表现为烦躁不安，6.8%为中度抑郁，5.7%为重度抑郁，与一般人群相比这一比例较低。中等压力水平最为常见（76.9%）。两组学生的压力得分无显著统计学差异（学生t检验：p = 0.295>0.05）。数据显示压力与抑郁指示性症状的存在之间存在关联，尤其是重度抑郁（皮尔逊相关系数：r = 0.755，p<0.01）。
大多数人没有表现出抑郁迹象。正如其他关于此问题的研究所记录的那样，这两门课程的学生中发现的抑郁状态与那些压力得分高的学生成比例地相伴。
压力水平较高的学生更容易出现抑郁，值得教育工作者关注。
