Resumo: Aims: this study aimed to evaluate the degree of anxiety of academics from a private higher education institution.Methods: a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative and observational study was conducted in 366 randomly selected students enrolled in the first semester of 2019. Data collection was performed through a questionnaire with sociodemographic-behavioral questions and questions of the Beck Anxiety Inventory. The degrees of anxiety (minimal or absent, mild, moderate, and severe) were determined by the sum of Beck’s inventory scores.Results: of the total sample, 62.3% presented some degree of anxiety, and the courses in the health area presented the most students with degrees of anxiety. Sex and age were the variables that showed a significant correlation with the degrees of anxiety.Conclusion: this study warns about the occurrence of anxiety disorders in university students, which implies a growing necessity for strategies within the academic environment to revert or prevent the onset of mental health pathologies in university students.

A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário com questões sociodemográficas-comportamentais e questões do Inventário de Ansiedade Beck. Os graus de ansiedade (mínimo ou ausente, leve, moderado e grave) foram determinados pelo somatório dos escores do inventário de Beck.Resultados: do total da amostra, 62,3% apresentou algum grau de ansiedade, sendo os cursos da área de saúde os que mais apresentaram estudantes com graus de ansiedade. O sexo e a idade foram as variáveis que apresentaram correlação significativa com os graus de ansiedade.Conclusão: este estudo alerta sobre a ocorrência de transtornos de ansiedade em estudantes universitários, o que implica em uma necessidade crescente de estratégias, dentro do ambiente acadêmico, para reverter e evitar o desencadeamento de patologias de saúde mental nos universitários.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-07-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/3520910.15448/1980-6108.2020.1.35209Scientia Medica; Vol. 30 No. 1 (2020): Single Volume; e35209Scientia Medica; v. 30 n. 1 (2020): Volume Único; e352091980-61081806-556210.15448/1980-6108.2020.1reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
