Abstract

Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the level of anxiety, stress and some related factors of students of Hanoi Medical University directly participating in fighting the COVID 19 epidemic in key provinces and cities in 2021. Research method: Cross-sectional study on 465 undergraduate students of Hanoi Medical University. Research results: Female students participating in the study accounted for 62.1% of the total student population. Students participating in the fight against COVID-19 more than 2 times account for 45.1%. Students participating in the fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic are mainly in Hanoi and Binh Duong (accounting for nearly 50%). The Medical doctor student account for the highest proportion with more than 51%, the lowest rate is the Dentist doctor student, which accounts for the lowest proportion with only 1.2%. The rate of alcohol use decreased from 41.6% before the COVID 19 pandemic to 29% during the pandemic. Overall, for all subjects, anxiety and stress were 7.6% and 43.3%, respectively. Among them, the level of very severe stress accounts for a relatively high proportion of 40 students (8.3%). The number of students with mild and moderate anxiety is only 27 students, with symptoms of severe to very severe anxiety, accounting for more than 2%. Nursing students are 2.2 times more likely to have anxiety than Medical doctor students. Students participating in fighting pandemic activities for about 30-40 days are less likely to have anxiety than students participating in shortterm (less than 15 days) and longterm (over 60 days) fighting pandemic activities. Vaccination support jobs increased the risk of anxiety approximately twice as much as other job groups (in both univariate and multivariate models). Conclusions: The rate of students participating in the COVID-19 pandemic having anxiety and stress are relatively high.
