ZANCAN, Renata Klein; MACHADO, Antônio Bonfada Collares; BOFF, Natália  e  OLIVEIRA, Margareth da Silva. Prevalence of Stress, Anxiety, Depression and the Relationship with Psychological Inflexibility in University Students. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp. 749-767.

This study aims to scan the prevalence of stress, anxiety, depression, psychological inflexibility, sociodemographic, clinical and academic data and the relationship between these variables, in a sample of undergraduate and graduate students in Rio Grande do Sul, in addition to comparing these two groups as to the results. 574 students, aged 18 and over, from different courses and universities took part in the research, 357 from undergraduate and 217 from graduate courses. This is a cross-sectional survey study, with self-report questionnaires and online collection. The instruments used were: Sociodemographic and academic data sheet; Depression Anxiety Stress Scale Perceived Stress Scale; Accept and Action Questionnaire for University Students. The levels of stress, anxiety and depression were considered high in this sample. Psychological inflexibility showed a significant correlation with these variables and was predictive of perceived stress. Undergraduate students had higher stress levels than graduate students. It is suggested to invest in studies that include psychological inflexibility and stress as variables investigated and also as the focus of interventions within this population.
