Description

RESUMEN

La ansiedad y la depresión son trastornos neuropsicológicos que afectan el rendimiento escolar de los estudiantes universitarios. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer el estado de ansiedad y depresión de los estudiantes de licenciatura de las áreas de ciencias naturales y exactas de la BUAP-México. Participaron 497 voluntarios, 59.5 % fueron mujeres y 40.5 % hombres cuya edad estuvo entre 19-25 años, sin diagnóstico clínico documentado y sin medicación declarada. Se usó la escala de ansiedad y depresión de Goldberg EADG para sondear los estados de precondición y condición de ansiedad y depresión de los jóvenes. Se obtuvo que, en las mujeres y los hombres, la ansiedad fue de 64.4 y 48.2%, respectivamente, mientras que para la depresión fue 54.4 y 49.7%, respectivamente. Estos resultados indican que la ansiedad y la depresión tuvieron alta prevalencia entre los estudiantes involucrados en el estudio, siendo mayor en las mujeres en comparación con los hombres. Con base en estos resultados se infiere la conveniencia de revisar la relación existente entre los estudiantes y los profesores, el personal administrativo y directivo para futuros estudios. Adicionalmente, reorientar las políticas de acompañamiento universitario con el fin de evitar la deserción escolar y aumentar el rendimiento académico.

 

ABSTRACT

Anxiety and depression are human neuropsychological diseases with high impact factor in academic performance. The aim of this study was to understand the prevalence of anxiety and depression among a population of college students in BUAP-México. We included 497 volunteer students enrolled within the natural and exact areas, of which 59.5 % were women and 40.5 % were men, ranging in age between 19-25 years old, without declared previous diagnosis or medical treatment. We used the Goldberg EADG scale to estimate precondition and condition levels of anxiety and depression neuropsychological disease. The results indicated that in women and men, the prevalence of anxiety was 64.4 and 48.2%, respectively, whereas for depression it was 54.4 and 49.7%, respectively. These results demonstrated a high prevalence of anxiety and depression among BUAP-México college students, with higher levels in women than in men. These results suggest that relationships between students and professors, in addition to administrative and directive personnel, should be should be reviewed in future research. Additionally, a shift in the focus of college pedagogical policies may be considered with the ultimate propose of avoiding attrition and increasing academic performance.
