• Abstract:

  The health and humanitarian crisis caused by COVID-19 has had direct consequences for the physical and mental health of the Brazilian population, precipitating the occurrence of disorders such as anxiety, stress and depression. In addition, the university population in general, especially students in the health areas, already has a high prevalence of anxiety, even during periods without public health crises. In view of the seriousness of the current situation, it is evident the need to verify the current prevalence of anxiety in the Brazilian university population, in order to better guide supportive behaviors for students. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the prevalence of anxiety and related symptoms in the Brazilian university population during the COVID-19 pandemic.
