| Sumario: | Our aim was to study the relationships between autonomic activity, anxiety and depression levels among nursing students. It was used a correlational design and an intentional sampling, so the anxiety and depression inventories was applied, as well as the psychophysiological stress profile. It was included 133 students of first, third and fifth semester of an university located in Guanajuato, Mexico. The anxiety average score was 23.17 (moderate level of anxiety). The average score of depression was 7.9 (It means a minimal level of depression). It was no founded significant relationships between anxiety and depression row scores (rs = 0.077, p = 0.380), no found neither, relationships between those levels and autonomic activity (p = 0.005). In the psychological profile, it was founded correlations between scores of autonomic activity obtained in the first activity and those obtained in the final condition (rs = 0.844, p < 0.05). Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent, but it is necessary more research to clarify the relationships underlying between those and autonomic activity of university students. |
