Abstract
Determinar la relación entre la ansiedad en tiempos de COVID-19 y el rendimiento académico, el consumo de drogas legales y la conducta alimentaria de los estudiantes de medicina de la UNT. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se encuestó a 176 estudiantes de medicina del cuarto a sexto año usando la escala de Ansiedad por COVID-19 para identificar los casos sugestivos de ansiedad específicos por COVID. A estos casos positivos se les aplicó una encuesta con preguntas acerca de la variación en su rendimiento académico, consumo de drogas legales (alcohol, tabaco, café) y hábitos alimenticios que experimentaron en tres momentos de la pandemia: Prepandemia (2019), pandemia-confinamiento (2020-2021) y pandemia post confinamiento (2022). Posteriormente se aplicó la escala Chi cuadrado para establecer relación entre la ansiedad por COVID-19 y las variables durante la transición de periodos. RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de ansiedad por COVID-19 fue de 28.74%. Para ambas transiciones de momentos durante la pandemia, se encontró una relación significativa (p<0.05) entre la ansiedad por COVID-19 con el rendimiento académico y el consumo de tabaco, de tipo inversa y directa respectivamente. No se encontró una relación significativa (p>0.05) entre la ansiedad por COVID-19 y el consumo de alcohol y café, así como en la conducta alimentaria en ninguna transición. CONCLUSIONES: La ansiedad por COVID-19 presenta una relación de tipo inversa con el rendimiento académico y una de tipo directa con el consumo de tabaco. Asimismo, no presenta relación significativa con otras drogas legales (alcohol, café) ni con la conducta alimentaria.
Abstract To determine the relationship between anxiety in times of COVID-19 and academic performance, legal drug use, and eating behavior of UNT medical students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 176 medical students from fourth to sixth year were surveyed using the COVID-19 Anxiety scale to identify cases suggestive of COVID-specific anxiety. These positive cases were administered a survey with questions about the variation in their academic performance, legal drug use (alcohol, tobacco, coffee), and eating habits they experienced at three pandemic time points: pre-pandemic (2019), pandemic-confinement (2020-2021), and post-confinement pandemic (2022). Subsequently, the Chi-square scale was applied to establish relationship between COVID-19 anxiety and variables during period transition. RESULTS: The prevalence of COVID-19 anxiety was 28.74%. For both moment transitions during the pandemic, a significant relationship (p<0.05) was found between COVID-19 anxiety with academic performance and tobacco use, of inverse and direct type respectively. No significant relationship (p>0.05) was found between COVID-19 anxiety and alcohol and coffee consumption, as well as in eating behavior at any transition. CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 anxiety presents an inverse type of relationship with academic performance and a significant type of relationship (p>0.05). COVID-19 anxiety has an inverse relationship with academic performance and a direct relationship with tobacco consumption. Likewise, it does not present a significant relationship with other legal drugs (alcohol, coffee) or with eating behavior.
