“…Consistent with the literature, anxiety and depression symptoms were more frequent among students in the 3 rd , 5 th and 9 th semesters of medical school. Considering the course cycles, the basic one showed a higher prevalence than the other cycles, similar to that found by Costa et al (2020) 23 . Upon entering the university, students are faced with an environment that is completely different from what they had been experiencing in the previous years of study 45,46 .…”

“…Symptoms were minimal in 259 (56.6%) and absent in 34 (7.4%) students (Chart 1). 23 . However, these same authors indicated a prevalence of symptoms of depression between 8.2% and 34.6%, therefore, lower than that of the present investigation (36.0%).…”

“…This is a prevalence study, with a probabilistic sample of 1,339 students who regularly attended all 12 semesters of the medical course in January 2018 and who signed the Free and Informed Consent Form / Term of Assent. For the sample size calculation, we considered as parameters an expected mean prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in university students of 35% 20,22,23 , an acceptable alpha error of 5% (α = 5%), an effect of design of 1.5 and a 95% confidence level. The sample size was estimated at 417 students, which after adding 10% for losses and refusals, totaled 457, divided proportionately, resulting in an average of 35 students per semester, which were selected by simple random drawing.…”

Introduction: Common Mental Disorders (CMDs) imply psychological distress, interfering with daily activities, interpersonal relationships and quality of life. It is estimated that CMDs affect 9% to 12% of the world’s population and 12% to 15% of the Brazilian population in all age groups. Among different social groups, university students are more vulnerable to the development of anxiety and depression disorders. Objective: Therefore, this study proposed to estimate the prevalence rates and factors associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression in medical students in a capital city of northeast Brazil. Methods: This is a prevalence study, with a probabilistic sample of 1,339 students who regularly attended the 12 semesters of medical school in January 2018. Data were collected by applying a socioeconomic, behavioral and demographic survey and Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories. The chi-square test was used to check for differences between anxiety and depression symptoms and socioeconomic and behavioral variables. The prevalence rates (total and by level of severity) and the crude and adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) were used as an association measure. Linear trend analysis was used to verify the existence of an association between anxiety and depression symptoms and semesters of the medical school. The variables that showed a crude PR with p <0.20 were incorporated into the multivariate analysis, using the robust Poisson regression model, to determine the adjusted PR. Results: The prevalence of symptoms of anxiety was 30.8%, whereas depression was 36.0%. The crude and adjusted PR for anxiety symptoms showed a statistically significant association with gender, age and sexual orientation. The crude and adjusted PR for symptoms of depression showed a statistically significant association with gender, ethnicity/skin color and sexual orientation. The correlation analyses between the semesters of the course and the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms indicated a weak coefficient of determination, with a descending characteristic and without statistical significance. Conclusions: As this is a prevalence study, this investigation does not allow conclusions on causality. Additional follow-up studies are needed to elucidate the course of anxiety and depression throughout the school semesters.

“…The high number of hours, excess of bad nights, and the construction of a career that does not admit mistakes are points that have a great potential impact on the quality of life of medical students, being, therefore, quality of life defined as "the perception of individual of his insertion in life, in the context of the culture and value systems in which he lives and in relation to his goals, expectations, standards, and concerns " [3]. This concept involves the entire context in which the individual is inserted based on social determinants and, analyzing the conjuncture of a student in the medical field, a complex process is perceived, in which responsibilities carry daily anxieties and anxieties, which directly imply their physical and mental health, significantly increasing the chance of developing important psychological disorders due to stress, including low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction, which are triggers for the development of eating disorders [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Introduction: The concept of body image is defined as the subjective image about the forms and characteristics of the body itself, which integrates physical, mental, and emotional levels about this perception. Excessive concern with weight and body shape and the divinization of exaggerated thinness can lead to eating disorders, which are characterized as psychiatric diseases defined by changes in eating behavior, which mainly affects women, being a source of physical and psychological damage. One of the most common disorders is anorexia nervosa (AN). Objective: To analyze the body perception and anorexic behavior of students at a medical school in the interior of São Paulo. Methods: This is an observational, qualitative study to assess the body perception and anorexic behavior of university students at a medical school in the city of Catanduva-SP. The sample consisted of 141 students. To assess the perception of body image, the Kakeshita silhouette scale, and a visual analog scale were used. For the evaluation of the subjective component of the body image, a virtual questionnaire was applied by Google Forms on the evaluated components. The assessment of nutritional status considered the classification of the body mass index and the EAT-26 test. For statistical analysis, the Wilcoxon non-parametric test was used. Results: The students had an average age of 21.34 years ± 2.2 and an average height of 1.64 meters. The average of the real Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22.08 Kg/m², the perception of BMI was 26.40 Kg/m² and the desired BMI was 22.93 Kg/m², the last two being different statistically from the first. As for EAT-26, 73 students obtained a score greater than or equal to 21, which is considered a risky behavior for the development of AN. Conclusion: Most students have an altered perception of their body image since the perception of BMI is higher than the real BMI. In addition, it was noted, from the positive EAT-26, the existence of a high-risk behavior index for anorexia nervosa in the women in the sample. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the causes of the divergence between reality and looking at oneself in order to prevent such changes from becoming eating disorders.

“…Além disso, grande parte dos universitários se encontram na faixa etária de 15 a 29 anos, período em que o suicídio se destaca como segunda maior causa de mortalidade (GARLOW et al, 2008;WHO, 2014). A literatura aponta que sentimentos e comportamentos suicidas são relativamente comuns nesse grupo (GARLOW et al, 2008;RAMÔA et al, 2017;HIDALGO-RASMUSSEN et al, 2019;COSTA et al, 2020;CHANG et al, 2017;CHANG et al, 2019;FLESCH et al, 2020). Também é preocupante o fato de que os universitários com histórico comportamento suicida ou autolesivo podem permanecer sintomáticos e apresentando risco elevado para novas tentativas de suicídio (ALBUQUERQUE; BORGES; MONTEIRO, 2019).…”
