| Sumario: | Introduction: Disorders affecting mental health are considered a public health problem. During their education, one out of four students experience academic stress. Furthermore, anxiety is one of the main mental disorders that generates loss of years in life due to disability, since it could prevent the acquisition and development of academic skills in students. Objective: Determine the relationship between the level of academic stress and anxiety in students of specialized nursing courses. Methodology: Descriptive correlational study, with non-probabilistic census sampling on a sample of 69 students, including nurses enrolled in specialized courses, excluding those who were not present during the interview. The information was collected through a sociodemographic chart, stress assessment scale in nursing students and Beck's anxiety inventory. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics through frequencies, percentages, measures of central tendency and dispersion and non-parametric inferential Kruskal-Wallis, U Mant-Whiney, Chi square, Kendall's Tau b and Spearman correlation. The study complied with provisions set forth by Mexico General Health Law. Results: 50.7% students showed moderate stress, and 71.0% moderate anxiety. A significant statistical association was found between stress according to specialization courses, stressors, type of student and anxiety with stressor factors. The association of stress with anxiety showed a positive and significant moderate statistical correlation. Conclusion: Levels of stress and anxiety were higher than international reports; statistical association between stress and anxiety was demonstrated. |
