ansiedade, COVID-19, pandemia, falhas cognitivas, estudantesResumo
Introdução: A pandemia da COVID-19 exacerbou o comportamento ansioso da população geral, com efeitos particulares para os estudantes universitários, um seguimento populacional reconhecidamente vulnerável a alterações clínicas de saúde mental. As queixas de dificuldades cognitivas são efeitos deletérios notáveis nesse contexto, a despeito da necessidade de mais informações sobre como a pandemia da COVID-19 se relaciona com a ansiedade e com as falhas no funcionamento cognitivo dos estudantes universitários. Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou a relação entre falhas cognitivas, sintomas de ansiedade generalizada e a percepção da pandemia da COVID-19 em estudantes universitários. Método: A amostra foi composta por 111 participantes, cujas respostas aos questionários foram analisadas a partir de estatística descritiva, correlação e análise de variância não paramétrica. Resultados: Houve uma associação forte e positiva entre a expressão de falhas cognitivas e os sintomas de ansiedade generalizada. Essas variáveis também se relacionaram à percepção do impacto da pandemia: uma percepção mais negativa se associou a um nível maior de falhas cognitivas e de ansiedade generalizada. Cerca de 50% da amostra apresentou sintomas graves de ansiedade generalizada. Conclusão: De forma geral, esses achados sugerem que a pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe efeitos deletérios aos estudantes universitários quanto às falhas cognitivas e à ansiedade generalizada. Esses indicativos podem ser importantes para implementar intervenções que mitiguem as dificuldades acadêmicas e diminuam o risco de evasão acadêmica.
