Resumen
GONZALEZ-SALINAS, Sofía et al. Anxiety and Sleep Quality are Affected in Students from Social Sciences. Acta de investigación psicol [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.3, pp.33-43. Epub 25-Oct-2021. ISSN 2007-4719. https://doi.org/10.22201/fpsi.20074719e.2020.3.355.
Sleep quality in college students has been related to anxiety and depressive symptomatology. However, the available statistics have been focused on students from Health Sciences thus preventing to know whether the same problematic is observed in students from other Majors. We applied the scales DASS-21, PSQI, and EAT-26 to 80 Mexican undergraduate students enrolled to any of the first three semesters of Majors in Administration, Industrial Engineering, or Medicine. We report that the percentage of students with abnormal scores in anxiety (33.33%) and poor sleeping quality (71.43%) was higher in Administration students. By using a logistic regression model, we show that anxiety scores can be explained by stress level, poor sleep quality, depression scores, and by the Major of study. Our findings show that anxiety management is needed for students to alleviate other emotional affections and improve sleep quality, particularly for those of Social Sciences.
