Abstract

Objectives

To determine the prevalence of anxiety, depression and stress on Argentinian university students, their risk factors, concerns and coping skills.

Method

A cross-sectional study was conducted in college students from Argentina, using a survey spread on social networks.

Results

Of 1711 surveyed students, 40.67% experienced moderate/severe anxiety, 58.03% experienced moderate/severe depression, 48.01% experienced stress and 68.8% reported insomnia. Females (aOR: 2.14; 95% CI: 1.67–2.75), young people (aOR: 2.86; 95%CI: 1.07–7.65), smokers (aOR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.005–1.79), users of marijuana (aOR: 2.17; 95% CI: 1.19–3.96) and participants with poor sleep quality (aOR: 3.99; 95% CI: 3.08–5.17) were more affected. Economic concerns (aOR: 2.95; 95% CI: 1.50–2.68), unemployment (aOR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.02–1.56) and concern about not seeing friends (aOR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.03–1.56) were associated with increased risk of having the conditions mentioned above.

Conclusions

The psychological impact caused by the long-term confinement is greater on Argentinian university students than on the general population.
