Abstract

La ansiedad es una emoción negativa que se vive como amenaza, como anticipación cargada de malos presagios, de tonos difusos, desdibujados, poco claros. Ello ha motivado desarrollar el presente estudio: NIVEL DE ANSIEDAD EN ESTUDIANTES DE PSICOLOGÍA DE UNA UNIVERSIDAD PRIVADA DE SAN JUAN BAUTISTA – 2018. Por ello se plantea como objetivo principal: Determinar el nivel de ansiedad en los estudiantes de Psicología de una Universidad Privada de San Juan Bautista – 2018. Se realizó un estudio de tipo cuantitativo, de diseño descriptivo, evaluando a 106 de 151 estudiantes del 1º al 5º ciclo de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Privada; se aplicó el Test de Ansiedad de Zung de 20 ítems, cada ítem se valora de 0 a 4, un puntaje 20 a 35 corresponde a un estudiante sin ansiedad, puntaje de 36 a 47 ansiedad mínima; de 48 a 59 ansiedad severa, de 60 a 80 ansiedad máxima. Se obtuvo los siguientes resultados: El 53,3% presenta signos de ansiedad mínima, el 28,3% presenta signos de ansiedad severa, el 2,8% presenta signos de ansiedad máxima, mientras que el 15,1% no presenta signos de ansiedad. Se concluye, que existe una prevalencia de ansiedad en los estudiantes en los dos primeros niveles, ya que ellos están propensos a situaciones negativas que afecta su personalidad, y que las más vulnerables a sufrir patologías de ansiedad son los estudiantes de sexo femenino.
