Abstract
En el horizonte educativo, la ansiedad es una de las principales problemáticas presentes entre los universitarios. En este estudio se ha analizado el perfil de los estudiantes de los cuatro cursos del Grado en Educación Social de la Universidad de Murcia en función de su percepción con respecto a la ansiedad y la presión académica que han experimentado a lo largo de su carrera universitaria. Por otro lado, también se ha estudiado esta perspectiva estudiantil, teniendo en cuenta factores tan cruciales como su género, edad, curso, grupo, posible experiencia en terapia, el consumo de medicación para combatir la ansiedad, o el haber sentido presión en algún momento para obtener buenas calificaciones, y por parte de quién. Los resultados obtenidos,a través del Cuestionario de Autoevaluación de la Ansiedad (STAIC-R),demuestran que los estudiantes aseguran sentir ansiedad y presión con bastante frecuencia, apareciendo, después de un análisis clúster jerárquico bietápico, dos perfiles de ansiedad diferenciados, donde los jóvenes que conforman el segundo conglomerado perciben sentir mayores niveles de ansiedad, haber buscado ayuda de un profesional por temas de ansiedad, llegando incluso a recurrir al consumo de fármacos por este motivo. Además, aseguran que el origen de la presión por lograr unas altas calificaciones es su autoexigencia. Por ello se hace más que evidente la necesidad de fomentar estilos de vida saludables a través de políticas y programas educativos sobre salud mental para la población universitaria.
In the educational context, anxiety is one of the main problems among university students. This study analyzed the profile of students in the four years of the Bachelor's Degree in Social Education at the University of Murcia based on their perceptions of the anxiety and academic pressure they have experienced throughout their university careers. This student perspective was also studied, taking into account crucial factors such as gender, age, course, group, possible experience in therapy, use of medication to combat anxiety, and whether they have ever felt pressure to achieve good grades, and from whom. The results obtained through the Self-Assessment Questionnaire of Anxiety (STAIC-R),show that students claim to feel anxiety and pressure quite frequently, appearing, after a two-stage hierarchical cluster analysis, two different anxiety profiles, where the young people who make up the second cluster perceive feeling higher levels of anxiety, having sought help from a professional for anxiety issues, even resorting to the use of drugs for this reason. In addition, they claim that the origin of the pressure to achieve high grades is their self-demand. It is therefore more than evident that there is a need to promote healthy habits through specific mental health programmes and policies for the university population.
