Today's COVID-19 situation can affect university Health Sciences students' psychological health. This study aimed to analyze the stress caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Health Sciences students from the University of Zaragoza (Spain) almost 1 year after the pandemic began. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 252 university students who completed a self-administered online questionnaire. It evaluated the impact of perceived stress with a modified scale (PSS-10-C), and assessed anxiety and depression on the Goldberg scale. Students presented stress (13.1%), anxiety (71.4%) and depression (81%). Females (81.7%) and the third-year Occupational Therapy students ( = 0.010) reported perceived stress. Nursing students perceived less stress (OR: 0.148; 95% CI: 0.026 to 0.842). University students developed stress and anxiety due to COVID-19 almost 1 year after the pandemic began. Psychological support measures for these groups should be prioritized.
如今的 COVID-19 疫情可能会影响大学生的心理健康。本研究旨在分析西班牙萨拉戈萨大学(University of Zaragoza)的卫生科学专业学生因 COVID-19 疫情影响而产生的压力,该研究是在疫情开始近 1 年后进行的。这是一项横断面描述性研究,共有 252 名大学生参与,他们完成了一份在线自填问卷。该问卷使用改良后的量表(PSS-10-C)评估了感知压力的影响,并使用 Goldberg 量表评估了焦虑和抑郁程度。研究结果显示,学生们存在压力(13.1%)、焦虑(71.4%)和抑郁(81%)。女性(81.7%)和三年级职业治疗专业学生( = 0.010)报告了感知压力。护理专业学生的压力感知程度较低(OR:0.148;95%CI:0.026 至 0.842)。COVID-19 疫情开始近 1 年后,大学生们产生了压力和焦虑。应优先为这些群体提供心理支持措施。
