to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) and the presence of symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and stress among students in the healthcare field, in comparison to the period before the COVID-19 pandemic.
A comparative cross-sectional research was conducted at a Brazilian public university. QOL was assessed using the WHOQOL-bref scale, while symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were evaluated using the DASS-21 scale. Descriptive and inferential analyses were employed to compare the two time periods.
A total of 355 students participated in this study. During the pandemic, there were significant increases in severe depression symptoms (15.1% versus 24.8%), moderate anxiety (18.3% versus 29.4%), and moderate stress (40.9% versus 53.8%) observed among the participants. Additionally, a significant reduction in QOL was noted, particularly in the domain of social relationships (65.2 versus 59.6, p-value 0.029).
The study highlights a deterioration in both the quality of life and the mental health of healthcare students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
评估与 COVID-19 大流行前相比，医疗保健专业学生的生活质量（QOL）和抑郁、焦虑和压力相关症状的状况。
在巴西一所公立大学进行了一项比较性的横断面研究。使用世界卫生组织生活质量量表（WHOQOL-bref 量表）评估 QOL，使用 DASS-21 量表评估抑郁、焦虑和压力的症状。采用描述性和推断性分析比较了两个时期。
共有 355 名学生参加了这项研究。在大流行期间，参与者中严重抑郁症状（15.1%比 24.8%）、中度焦虑（18.3%比 29.4%）和中度压力（40.9%比 53.8%）显著增加。此外，生活质量显著下降，特别是在人际关系方面（65.2 比 59.6，p 值 0.029）。
该研究强调了 COVID-19 大流行期间医疗保健专业学生的生活质量和心理健康都有所恶化。
