This study investigated anxiety, one aspect of mental wellbeing, in fourth year veterinary students before the final clinical section of their course (intramural rotations (IMR)). It explored the relationship between reported anxiety and ‘mindset’: an individual’s view on the ability to develop (eg, improve intelligence). Questionnaires were completed by 130 students. Students were mindset typed for ability and personality and rated their anxiety towards IMR. Students with different overall mindsets (‘strong growth’, ‘growth’ and ‘fixed’) were invited to participate in focus groups, to discuss causes of their anxieties. Quantitative results indicated 63.1 per cent of students had strong growth or growth mindsets overall, and that females were more fixed mindset-oriented than males. Females reported significantly greater anxiety than males. A fixed mindset view overall, and of ability, were significantly correlated with increased anxiety, while mindset view of personality was not. Students provided various reasons for their anxieties, which differed with mindset. Fixed mindset students (n=2) focused on concerns about knowledge, whereas growth students (n=6) were also anxious about work-life balance and future work. Growth students saw clinicians as future colleagues, rather than intimidating teachers. Students reported an awareness of being graded, although growth students were aware that IMR are learning opportunities.

An increment in mental health problems related to social isolation strategies was evinced in several populations, however few investigations address this problem in students. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between insomnia, worry, coping strategies, and academic engagement in subjects pursuing a university degree in Argentina during the first month of compulsory social isolation against the COVID-19 pandemic. Self-report online questionnaires were administered to 584 participants: Insomnia Severity Index, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, Coping Responses Inventory, Utrecht Work Engageme nt Scale for Students. Demographic data was recorded. Statistics included bivariate and multivariate techniques. Prevalences of 45% for subthreshold insomnia, 23% for moderate insomnia, and 4% for severe insomnia were found. The severe insomnia group presented higher levels of worry and cognitive avoidance strategies. Insomnia was also associated with daytime concerns. The group without insomnia was more vigorous in their academic engagement. Being physically active was associated with lower sleep problems. Insomnia prevalence is high in socially isolated university students. Cognitive avoidance coping strategies are associated with worry, which leads to an alert state that makes sleep difficult. These findings should be taken into account by academic institutions to define their pedagogic strategies.

“…Relacionando lo anterior, se puede determinar que algunos estudiantes de este trabajo presentaron limitaciones con relación a las funciones mentales asociadas al almacenamiento, atención y realización de operaciones matemáticas complejas, planteamiento que de acuerdo a Dubuc et al, (2020), son prioritarios para el rendimiento académico, que de hecho implica acciones sobre los educadores para el desarrollo de programas de intervención más efectivos sobre esta dimensión, de la misma manera Coronato Nunes et al, (2018), indican que es frecuente encontrar en jóvenes universitarios quejas sobre el déficit de memoria, infiriendo que son el resultado de un manejo inadecuado de las funciones de ejecución y atención, lo que favorece a errores percibido con ella, lo cual guarda relación con eventos estresantes, en ese sentido el ambiente académico rodeado de competencia como la necesidad de trabajo en estudiantes de bajo ingreso socioeconómico es lo que podría generar una discapacidad para el desarrollo académico del estudiante.…”

Resultados. Se encontró que la población en general no presentó limitaciones funcionales, pero las que se presentan se relacionan con el rendimiento académico correspondiente a la función cognitiva, visual, de la voz y el habla, con significancia estadística (p=0,000).

Descriptive-correlational study of a cross-sectional cohort with 115 university students to whom the CIF instrument (classification system of functional health and disease outcomes) was applied, as well as the evaluation of academic performance measured through the general career average, the normal distribution of the population according to age was verified, to obtain measures of central tendency and dispersion as a Pearson statistic (p<0.05). Results. It was found that the population in general did not present functional limitations, but those that do appear are related to academic performance corresponding to cognitive, visual, voice and speech functions, with statistical significance (p=0.000).
