Anxiety disorders are considered the sixth most important factor resulting in non-fatal health loss in the world. Moreover, they are among the first ten causes of years lived with disability (YLD) across the globe. Important clinical disorders include e.g., panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and specific phobia.
The study aimed to analyse the occurrence of level anxiety in students who start work at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, with relation to the socio-demographic factors and health status, vaccination, conovirus infection, assistance of a psychologist or psychiatrist in the past, and using tranquilizers.
The study involved 255 students from Poland starting work with coronavirus patients during the pandemic. It was conducted using our own questionnaire, the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
Fifty-one percent of subjects demonstrated symptoms of mild to severe social phobia. Level of trait anxiety among students correlated significantly with age and gender (females). The level of social anxiety in the evaluated students was significantly correlated with marital status, the self-assessment of the experienced fear, self-perceived health status, having had a coronavirus infection, fear of deterioration of one's health after starting work with coronavirus patients, and fear of contracting the disease while working with coronavirus patients, and using tranquilizers. Level of state anxiety significantly correlated with state anxiety, the self-assessment of professional preparedness for work with coronavirus patients, self-perceived health status, vaccination against coronavirus, and the assistance of a psychiatrist in the past.
The proportion of students showing social anxiety is alarming. Anxiety among the evaluated students during the COVID-19 pandemic was correlated with many factors.
焦虑症被认为是导致全球非致命性健康损失的第六大重要因素。此外，它们是全球导致失能生存年数（YLD）的前十位原因之一。重要的临床疾病包括惊恐障碍、社交焦虑障碍、广泛性焦虑障碍和特定恐惧症等。
本研究旨在分析在新冠疫情期间开始工作的学生中焦虑水平的发生情况，及其与社会人口学因素、健康状况、疫苗接种、新冠病毒感染、过去是否接受过心理学家或精神科医生的帮助以及使用镇静剂之间的关系。
该研究纳入了255名来自波兰的学生，他们在疫情期间开始与新冠患者一起工作。研究使用了我们自己设计的问卷、利博维茨社交焦虑量表（LSAS）和状态-特质焦虑问卷（STAI）。
51%的受试者表现出轻度至重度社交恐惧症的症状。学生的特质焦虑水平与年龄和性别（女性）显著相关。在被评估的学生中，社交焦虑水平与婚姻状况、对经历过的恐惧的自我评估、自我感知的健康状况、是否感染过新冠病毒、开始与新冠患者一起工作后对自身健康恶化的恐惧、在与新冠患者一起工作时感染疾病的恐惧以及使用镇静剂显著相关。状态焦虑水平与状态焦虑、对与新冠患者一起工作的职业准备的自我评估、自我感知的健康状况、新冠疫苗接种以及过去是否接受过精神科医生的帮助显著相关。
表现出社交焦虑的学生比例令人担忧。在新冠疫情期间，被评估学生中的焦虑与许多因素相关。
