We used a cross-sectional design, and data collection was carried out over a period of two months from September 2018 to November 2018 using paper-based self-administered questionnaires. The General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale was used to measure and classify anxiety among the study participants.
The prevalence of anxiety among pharmacy students was 49% (83 students); 44 students (25.9%) had mild anxiety, while 24 (14.1%) students had moderate anxiety, and 15 (8.8%) severe anxiety. There were statistically significant differences in anxiety scores according to faculty type ( = 0.2) and nutritional status ( = 0.4).
The findings of this study revealed that half of the pharmacy students suffered from anxiety incidence during their studies at the university. However, the majority of them are experiencing mild to moderate. This may have a significant impact on academic performance and necessitates special attention.
我们采用横断面设计,于 2018 年 9 月至 11 月期间利用基于纸张的自我管理式调查问卷进行了为期两个月的数据收集。使用广泛性焦虑障碍 7 项量表(GAD-7)来衡量和分类研究参与者的焦虑情况。
药学专业学生的焦虑患病率为 49%(83 名学生);44 名学生(25.9%)有轻度焦虑,24 名学生(14.1%)有中度焦虑,15 名学生(8.8%)有严重焦虑。焦虑评分根据院系类型( = 0.2)和营养状况( = 0.4)存在统计学差异。
本研究结果显示,一半的药学专业学生在大学学习期间患有焦虑症。然而,他们中的大多数人经历的是轻度到中度焦虑。这可能对学业成绩产生重大影响,需要特别关注。
