Main Article Content
Abstract
The research is conducted with the purpose of estimating the prevalence of Anxiety Disorder and associated factors among freshman and senior students in Hanoi Medical University in 2018-2019. The research is designed as a cross-sectional study with the participation of 1723 students and utilises the Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7 items (GAD-7) to interview participators about anxiety disorder. The result shows that the prevalence of anxiety disorder is 9.8% (95% C.I.: 8.4 – 11.4%) and associated factors include of perceiving financial burden (PR=1.42, 95% C.I.: 1.22 – 2.25), repeating class (PR=1.58, 95% C.I.: 1.19 – 2.09), playing sport (PR=0.69; 95% C.I.: 0.55 – 0.88), smoking (PR=2.35, 95% C.I.: 1.74 – 3.18), alcohol consumption (PR=1.49; 95% C.I.: 1.16 – 1.93). As a result, the research will prioritize student’s need to receive assistance, to reduce the prevalence of anxiety disorder among Hanoi Medical University students as well as other health science universities’ students in Vietnam.
