Resumo
factores que generan estrés, lo que puede llevar a una alta prevalencia de problemas
de salud mental, como la ansiedad y la depresión, entre los estudiantes. Este estudio
estimó la prevalencia de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión entre estudiantes de
medicina de una universidad pública e identificó los principales factores asociados. Se
utilizó una muestra de 214 estudiantes, quienes respondieron a preguntas sobre
condiciones socioeconómicas, estado de salud, el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck
(BAI), el Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI) y el Test de Adicción a Internet (IAT).
Se estimaron las tasas de prevalencia y las razones de prevalencia utilizando el
Modelo de Poisson. Se encontró que el 43.5% de los participantes presentaban algún
grado de depresión y el 38.8% mostraban síntomas de ansiedad. Factores como la
presencia de enfermedades crónicas, el uso de medicación psiquiátrica y la necesidad
de asistencia financiera se asociaron con estos trastornos (p<0.05). Se destaca la
necesidad de implementar estrategias de apoyo e intervenciones para mejorar la salud
mental de los futuros médicos, tales como programas de apoyo psicológico y políticas
institucionales que promuevan un equilibrio saludable entre la vida académica y
personal.
The medical school curriculum entails a heavy workload and numerous stress-inducing factors, which can lead to a high prevalence of mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, among students. This study estimated the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms among medical students at a public university and identified the main associated factors. A sample of 214 students was used, who responded to questions regarding socioeconomic conditions, health status, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Prevalence rates and prevalence ratios were estimated using the Poisson Model. It was found that 43.5% of participants exhibited some degree of depression, and 38.8% showed symptoms of anxiety. Factors such as the presence of chronic illness, use of psychiatric medication, and the need for financial assistance were associated with these disorders (p<0.05). The need to implement support strategies and interventions to improve the mental health of future physicians is highlighted, including psychological support programs and institutional policies that promote a healthy balance between academic and personal life.
