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.

De los 1.711 estudiantes encuestados, 40,67% experimentaron ansiedad moderada/severa, 58,03% depresión moderada/severa; 48,01% estrés significativo y 68,8% reportaron insomnio. Las mujeres (razón de probabilidad ajustada [aOR]: 2,14; intervalo de confianza [IC] 95%: 1,67-2,75), la gente más joven (aOR: 2,86; IC 95%: 1,07-7,65), los fumadores (aOR: 1,34; IC 95%: 1,005-1,79), consumidores de marihuana (aOR: 2,17; IC 95%: 1,19-3,96) y los participantes con mala calidad de sueño (aOR: 3,99; IC 95%: 3,08-5,17) estuvieron más afectados. Las preocupaciones económicas (aOR: 2,95; IC 95%: 1,50-2,68), el desempleo (aOR: 1,55; IC 95%: 1,02-1,56) y la preocupación por no ver a sus amigos (aOR: 1,27; IC 95%: 1,03-1,56) estuvieron asociados con mayor riesgo de padecer las condiciones arriba mencionadas.
