Resumo: | Anxiety is considered increasing in modern society and related to academic life, especially students submitted to performance evaluations to prove good performance. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of anxiety in the period of academic performance evaluations, among students of the Pharmacy course of a private University in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The study was conducted with 276 Pharmacy undergraduates, with an average age between 18 and 27 years (67%), single (59.8%) and female prevalence (74.6%). Students, before performance assessments, reported anxiety alone (64.5%) or associated with stress, worry, insomnia and impatience (63%). There was a statistically significant difference between anxious (16.9±12.2) and quiet (3.6±2.9) students before performance evaluations, with p<0.001. After the performance evaluations, 50% of the students reported concern alone and the association of concern with impatience, stress and insomnia was reported by 10.1%. Regarding the habit of studying, 49.3% reported that they studied when there was time and 45.3% reported studying frequently. This paper shows that entering academic life is marked by changes in responsibilities and the choice of a profession, accompanied by anxiety and concerns related to good performance, suggesting the need for the adoption of institutional policies for anxiety prevention. |

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de la ansiedad en el período de las evaluaciones de rendimiento académico, entre los estudiantes del curso de Farmacia de una Universidad privada en la ciudad de São Paulo, Brasil. El estudio se realizó con 276 estudiantes universitarios de farmacia, con una edad promedio entre 18 y 27 años (67%), soltero (59.8%) y prevalencia femenina (74.6%). Los estudiantes, antes de las evaluaciones de desempeño, informaron ansiedad sola (64.5%) o asociada con estrés, preocupación, insomnio e impaciencia (63%). Hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los estudiantes ansiosos (16,9±12,2) y los tranquilos (3,6±2,9) antes de las evaluaciones de rendimiento, con p<0,001. Después de las evaluaciones de rendimiento, el 50% de los estudiantes declararon estar solamente preocupados y la asociación de la preocupación con la impaciencia, el estrés y el insomnio fue declarada por el 10,1%. Con respecto al hábito de estudiar, el 49.3% informó que estudiaba cuando había tiempo y el 45.3% informó que estudiaba con frecuencia.

O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de ansiedade no período de avaliações de rendimento acadêmico, entre estudantes do curso de Farmácia de uma Universidade privada da cidade de São Paulo, Brasil. O estudo foi realizado com 276 graduandos em Farmácia, com idade média entre 18 e 27 anos, (67%), solteiros (59,8%) e maioria do gênero feminino (74,6%). Os estudantes, antes das avaliações de rendimento, referiram ansiedade isolada (64,5%) ou associada com estresse, preocupação, insônia e impaciência (63%). Houve diferença estatística significante entre os estudantes ansiosos (16,9±12,2) e tranquilos (3,6±2,9) antes das avaliações de rendimento, com p<0,001. Após a realização das avaliações de rendimento, 50% dos estudantes relatou preocupação isoladamente e a associação de preocupação com impaciência, estresse e insônia foi relatada por 10,1%. Quanto à frequência ao estudar, 49,3% relataram que estudam quando há tempo e 45,3% relataram estudar com frequência.
