Abstract Background Graduate education is associated with many life changes and stressful events for students, potentially causing depression, anxiety and stress. Prevalence of these disorders and potential associated factors are not clearly identified. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among university students in France. The students filled out a self-questionnaire recording depression anxiety and stress with the DASS21. High” and “very High” intensity symptoms were grouped into “presence” of depression, anxiety and stress and “moderate” “light” “normal” were grouped into “absence” of depression, anxiety and stress. Curriculum, perceived academic pressure, financial difficulties, smoking, binge drinking and eating disorders were also recording. Results A total of 1,202 students were included of which 17.8% were healthcare students. The sex ratio (M:F) was of 0.42 with a mean age of 20.0 years. Prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress were respectively 16.4%, 26.4% and 16.0%. After multivariate analysis, female gender was associated with presence of stress (AOR=1,41 IC 95% [1,03-1,93]). High level of perceived academic pressure (AOR=2,13 [1,61-2,82], 2,05 [1,57-2,68], 2,35 [1,72-3,22]) financial difficulties (AOR=1,33 [1,03-1,73], 1,54 [1,19-1,99], 1,37 [1,04-1,82]) and eating disorders (AOR=2,46 [1,83-3,31], 2,36 [1,75-3,19], 2,21 [1,63-23]) were associated with presence of depression, anxiety and stress. Binge drinking (AOR=1,48 [1,05-2,09]) and smoking (AOR=1,46 [1,01-2,13]) were associated with anxiety. Conclusions These results show prevalence of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms among students. Poor mental health is related to academic and financial difficulties, and is associated especially with eating disorders. There is a pressing need to prioritize mental health of college students through the national public health policies. Additional studies are needed to better understand the relationships between these different factors. Key messages There is a significant prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms among Rouen students. Depression, anxiety and stress symptoms among students are associated with high level of perceived academic pressure, financial difficulties and presence of eating disorders.

Anxiety Levels

COVID-19 is the worst pandemic of this millennium, and it is considered to be the “public enemy number one.” This catastrophe has changed the way we live in the blink of an eye. Not only has it threatened our existence and health status, but the damage associated with it could equally affect our economic, social, and educational systems. The focus of this study was on the anxiety level of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted between March and June 2020. A questionnaire was administered online, and 400 completed questionnaires were returned. In this study, the Zung self-rating anxiety scale was used to determine the anxiety levels among the respondents. The results indicated that about 35% of the students experienced moderate to extreme levels of anxiety. Anxiety was highly associated with age, sex, and level of education. These findings can enlighten government agencies and policy makers on the importance of making prompt, effective decisions to address students' anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers are encouraged to focus their future studies on how to develop strategies to boost students' resilience and enhance their adaptability skills for similar disasters in the future.
