Rezumat

The prevalence of depression and anxiety among the medical students is a very well-studied phenomena as being proved by many researchers that are abroad with a median prevalence of 27.2% and 11.1% which had suicidal thoughts, according to a systematic theoretic review that was made by Lisa S. Rosenstein et al. (2016). Another source reports a similar incidence of depression or anxiety for the medical students – one third of the overall students in Singapore (2016). Depression is not uncommon in the general population, being the second most prevalent healthcare problem that affects the productivity of the population. We questioned 301 students from the “Nicolae Testemițanu” State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Republic of Moldova using Google Forms, about the number of hours slept during a week, meals taken each day and hours of study, presence of the anxiety and/or depression feeling during study hours and presence of concern feelings. The data was analyzed using the software SPSS 24.00. The students were grouped based on their year of study in the following way: 66 of them were in the 1st year of study, 115 of them were in the 2nd year of study and 120 of them were in the 3rd year of study. The students were also grouped based on their gender and the previous completed educational institutions. We then codified, derived and correlated the data in order to see how some factors contribute to the anxious responses for the medica students. Based on the questioners we collected, 124 students (58.8%) manifested anxiety feelings during the week, 19 students (6.3%) manifested maniacal episodes during the week, 31 students (10.3%) manifested hysteria episodes during the week, 17 students (5.6%) were nicotine consumers, 40 students (13.3%) were alcohol consumers, 99 students (32.9%) manifested concern feelings during the week, 181 students (60.3%) were stressed during the study week. The only significant correlation that we identified after the questioning were: Pearson correlation of 0.662 between feelings of concern and stress during the week (p<0.01), the rest of them had an isolated manifestation. No notable signs of clinical anxiety/depression were found to be significantly correlated between them, but students experienced stressful feelings each week.
