Resumo: The aim of this research was to investigate the presence of stress, anxiety, and depression and to analyze the academic experiences of Dental freshman students.  Saliva samples, from 114 students, were collected to dose the cortisol hormone during exams and classes to analyze the physiological stress in both situations. Those who took anti-depression medication or did not sign the Informed Consent Form were excluded from the research. Two valid questionnaires were applied, the QVA-r (Questionnaire of Academic Experiences - reduced version) and DASS 21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale 21). The correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney test were determined with a 5% significance level.  Of the total number of participants, the majority were women, with a mean age of 20.06 (+ 2.65) and 18.96 (+ 1.78) years old. The presence of stress was high among the students (45%) and was related to the Personal (-0.518) and Interpersonal (-0.251) domains.  The cortisol levels during tests showed a correlation with the highest scores in the Study (0.197), Career (0.347) and Institutional (0.196) domains.  From all the students questioned, 81% left the parents’ home to study.  The presence of stress, anxiety, and depression was related to the students’ interaction with their peers and to personal aspects.  The highest levels of cortisol were in those more adapted in the Study, Career and Institutional domains.

Amostras de saliva de 114 estudantes foram coletadas para dosagem de cortisol durante exames e aulas para análise do estresse fisiológico em ambas as situações. Aqueles que tomaram antidepressivos ou não assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido foram excluídos da pesquisa. Dois questionários validados foram aplicados, o QVA-r (Questionário de Experiências Acadêmicas - versão reduzida) e o DASS 21 (Depressão, Ansiedade e Escala de Estresse 21). O coeficiente de correlação e o teste de Mann-Whitney foram determinados com nível de significância de 5%. Do total de participantes, a maioria era do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 20,06 (+ 2,65) e 18,96 (+ 1,78) anos. A presença de estresse foi alta entre os estudantes (45%) e esteve relacionada aos domínios Pessoal (-0,518) e Interpessoal (-0,251). Os níveis de cortisol durante os testes mostraram correlação com as pontuações mais altas nos domínios Estudo (0,197), Carreira (0,347) e Institucional (0,196). De todos os alunos questionados, 81% deixaram a casa dos pais para estudar. A presença de estresse, ansiedade e depressão estava relacionada à interação dos alunos com seus pares e aos aspectos pessoais. Os maiores níveis de cortisol foram naqueles mais adaptados nos domínios Estudo, Carreira e Institucional.Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico2018-08-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/68910.30979/rev.abeno.v18i3.689Revista da ABENO; Vol. 18 No. 3 (2018); 137-147Revista da ABENO; Vol. 18 Núm. 3 (2018); 137-147Revista da ABENO; v. 18 n. 3 (2018); 137-1472595-02741679-5954reponame:Revista da ABENO (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)instacron:ABENOenghttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/article/view/689/463Copyright (c) 2018 Revista da ABENOinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSaliba, Tania AdasSandre, Amanda SantosSumida, Doris HissakoGarbin, Clea Adas SalibaMoimaz, Suzely Adas Saliba2018-09-27T03:40:03Zoai:ojs.revabeno.emnuvens.com.br:article/689Revistahttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/indexONGhttps://revabeno.emnuvens.com.br/revabeno/oairevabeno@gmail.com2595-02741679-5954opendoar:2023-01-13T09:48:08.163922Revista da ABENO (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico (ABENO)false
